Published by the Students of JESUIT HIGH SCHOCDL DALLAS, TEXAS A Volume VI MAY, I949 1 Founded by the members of the Society of jesus in 1942, under the patronage of the lvlost Reverend joseph P. Lynch, D.D., Bishop of Dallas, to provide the Catholic boys of Dallas the fullest opportunity for a Catholic education, Jesuit High now feels itself a veteran Texan and Dallasite as it looks forward to the graduation of its sev- enth Senior Class. The goal of tour years' striving-Com- mencement Exercises at Jesuit High. Religion plays a very important part in Jesuit education and formation. Jesuit students soon learn that the key to suc- cess in studies and in life is found inside the Chapel door. TO THE CLASS OF '49 In congratulating you at graduation, I wish to express in the name of our faculty sincere thanks for the spirit you have shown through high school and for the contribution you have made towards the genuine and solid development of Jesuit. It has been our thrilling task during these years to work with you in training you for what you are to be in life much more than for what you are to do. This has meant building bodies but still more molding charactersg sharpening intellects but still more training willsg acquiring skills but also enriching taste. Through it all we have kept in mind that true manliness is never strong unless it has at the core something flike Gracej that is divine. As you take leave of us in your glorious youthful prime, remember that your education goes on. The pattern for it has been set. But there remains much for you to do towards that rich, full, Christ-like life that you owe to yourselves and to God. Come back to Jesuit often and visit with us when you can. May the Lord be with you wherever you go, and with your spirit. Sincerely, 4 ai? REV. EDWARD P. CURRY, SJ. Assistant Principal REV. ROBERT A. TYNAN, SJ. Guidance Counsellor 5 r X I x,.

Frank Renfroe . Bill Ewen . Mark Tolle . Mark Tolle A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE If we were able to look into the future-say about ten years from now or so-I wonder what we would find our classmates doing? Shall we hazard a peek-in imagination only, that is? Bob Begien is first on our list. Bob has be- come an archeologist. It was my love of caves and their fascinating effect upon me that made me decide on this profession, states Professor Begien. Well, let's leave Bob with his caves Cor should I say Cave?j while we take a trip to Niagara Falls to see the nation's outstanding newsreel cameraman in action. He is about to take a picture of another daredevil who is go- ing over the falls in a barrel. If you guessed that our cameraman is Dick O'Leary, you are 100 per cent wrong. Dick's in that barrel, and John Malone is the man behind the lens. You all remember how John Wilkerson loved to draw, don't you? Well, John has ad- vanced far in his chosen field of art. He now illustrates the bubble gum wrappers that all children delight in reading. Steve McDermott, Al Collins, Jerry Post and Ed Konderla have formed an orchestra known as the Four Fiery Fiends. They appear in concert every Saturday night at the Harlem Theater, deep in the heart of Deep Ellumf' Emil and Frank Horak have at last gone their separate ways. Emil is a star of the Met- ropolitan Opera and Frank is a concert pian- ist of international renown. Now we come to our class villain, Joe Ameel. Joe has ended up on The Rock. Not as a prisoner, as you may think, but as warden of the institution. Ray Prasifka has made good use of his golden voice. He may be seen and heard on the corner of Stone and Elm Streets in downtown Dallas almost any sunny afternoon. Jimmy Jacoby, following in the footsteps of his famous father, has become a noted card authority. He is currently traveling about the country lecturing on Proper Pinochlef' You all remember Frank Sonner, I hope? Frank has surprised us all by becoming the greatest lover ever to be seen on the Ameri- can screen. Critics say his performances are reminiscent of those of Rudolph Valentino and Clark Gable. John C Texas Q Murphy has at last heard the call. John has become a Jesuit and has taken over Father Tynan's old position as stu- dent counsellor at Jesuit upon the latter's appointment as Monsignor. Bill Lott, having finally decided to study, graduated with high honors at Notre Dame and is now Professor of Astronomy and Celes- tial Research at Cal Tech. John Mehrten is making millions in the counterfeit money business. Jimmy Callan and James Barta, forever partners in crime, are now world famous mountain climbers who have been up every- thing known to man, including the river. Bill Ewen is now playing professional base- ball with the New York Yankees. He has a season record of forty wins against one loss. Lupe Quevedo is still teaching Spanish II at Jesuit. Jim O'Reilly and Frank Renfroe have seen the light at last and are spearheading a drive to have Oak Cliff ploughed under the soil. Paul Ruwaldt and Bill Walsh have made a small fortune in their women's clothing store. When it comes to betting on the nags, there is no one so well versed in the art as the Bookie of Bookies -John O'Brien. Under the watchful eyes of Mark Tolle, Edo Biasatti and Lelon Beckham, The Roundup has left Jesuit and has become the nation's leading newspaper. It is considered the last word in periodical perfection. Robert Eichenberger, now coach of the pro- fessional Jesuit Rangers, will take his team,to the annual Washbowl Classic, where they are expected to clean up. Tom Carr is still trying to get his credit in freshman English to complete his college career. His wife is supporting him. Marty Currin is running a curio shop on the Indian Reservation in Oklahoma. Frank Interrante has joined the police force. He told them that he was Irish. Donald Conoly is now the foremost jockey in the United States. Conoly-ridden mounts have won nine consecutive Kentucky Derbys. Larry Morton has made a million with Morton's Noiseless Potato Chips. John Saul and Bill Clements are living off the fat of the land with their Old Fashioned Revival Meetings. In ten years you'll turn on your television set and see the World Series. Behind the plate calling balls and strikes will be Jim Fleming, while Jerry Lastelick will be on sec- ond for the New York Yankees. Stanley Martin is now a clown with Ring- ling Brothers Circus. Robert Paroski graduated from West Point and is now a colonel in the tank corps. Because of a deep love' of music which could find no adequate outlet, Dan Tavernier has become conductor of the New York Phil- harmonic Symphony Orchestra. Walter Vail has become famous as an ex- plorer of darkest Africa and a fearless stalker of vicious beasts. John Hope and Jackie Jackson are now protectors of our health. No, they're not M. D.'s, but garbage men, and are coining money as owners of the biggest collection concession in town. Jim Brogan graduated from Harvard and is the foremost lawyer in the country. George Holy has monopolized the delivery business in Texas. Just think-all he started with was one little red Cushman! Henry Saenz, after ten years of profes- sional hockey, is coach of the Dallas Texans. Bob Gramling has become the best shot in the world and is now traveling from place to place giving exhibitions with his peashooter. Since Mr. Anthony retired, Pat Shea has been giving sage advice to distressed people. Wally Pierce is the wrestling promoter here in town now. He bought the Sportato- rium, local show window for the grunt and groanersf' from some guy named Perry, who retired about six months ago. Bob's vast oil interests required so much of his time that he Cand someone elsej decided to reside per- manently in West Texas.

J., Teacher. I was a very lonely and sad spirit at the beginning of the present school year. I had no one to care for meg no one to nourish me and make me grow big and strong. At least one class in the school was kind enough to adopt me. Neil O'Brien, Al Faber, Tom Cullinan and joe La Rocca became my special guardians. During football season I went to practice every day. I caught passes, blocked and tackled. Of course no one recognized me. They called me Eddie Joseph, or Dick Ellis, jim Alderman, Neil O'Brien or Joe La Rocca .... I got behind the members of the class and gave them such a push that they won the prize for selling the most season football tickets .... Billy Evans and Phil Hanley responded nobly when I asked them to be cheerleaders .... I wanted some of the other classes to partake of some of our joy. What better way than to sponsor a dance? ...I must smile even now when I recall what a splendid time everyone had .... Basketball... Once more 3A per- forms through its members...Al Faber, Tom Cullinan, Joe La Rocca, Neil O'Brien, jim Alder- man, Eddie Joseph, Dick Ellis make up half the varsity squad. Everyone knows what a major part these boys played in the great success enjoyed by this year's team .... Baseball . . . Elocution ...Debates .... For the first time in school the Junior Debaters defeated the Senior Debaters. ...Thanks to John Stacer, Phil Hanley and Tom Cullinan .... Class picnics . . . Class nights ...The play .... I overhead a couple of 3A boys talking about me the other day, and they said they liked this year's spirit so much that they will keep me next year, too. 27 x W , 'ill I , L- ' ' ff . - f 5- 1 - . gov . A V. BUSY 3B By BUDDY ZORICHAK Right to Ieit, first row: Charles Wasaff, Frank Musso, Eddie Virgil, Jack Peitzmeierg second row: J. D. Roberts, Mike Brown, Simon Bieler, Billy Roberts, third row: Don Mofzitt, Steve Spetter, Gene Roy, Burnell Browng fourth row: Chas. Hafertepe, John Delin, Gino Biasatti, Tom Meckg fifth row: John Mock, Bob Rettman, Buddy Zorichak, John Beal, sixth row: Frank Lake, Mr. T. J. Cronin, S.J., Teacher, Elmo Markey. You've heard of Gino Biasatti who was voted the most valuable man on the football team. You have also, no doubt, heard of Bob Rettman who was credited with the most tackles made. And, of course, you've heard of J. D. Roberts who was voted the best blocker of the year. These are just samples of the calibre of 3B boys! Early in September the class was staffed with able and efficient leaders: Gino Biasatti, Presidentg Bob Rettman, Vice-President, Tommy Meck, Secre- tary, and J. D. Roberts, Treasurer. The spirit of accomplishment and helpfulness about the school was more evident on the part of this group this year than ever before. One fine example of this was in the Altar Boys where Musso, Brown, Meck and Peitzmeier were servers. Supplying lots of down beat for the band were Moflitt, Brown, Bieler and Roberts. Although not exactly a flash on the varsity team, Gene Roy did manage a place in the line with enthusiasm. 3B boys sparking the B-team were: Peitzmeier, Markey, C. Wasaff, Musso, Bieler and Billy Roberts, In the Phil were Mike and Burnell Brown. Burnell brilliantly managed a leading role in The Merchant. Helping out on the Intramural Staff were: Gino Biasatti, Bob Rettman and J. D. Roberts. Our contributions to baseball were J. D. on the B-team and Mike Brown on the varsity. Nor was our class behind the door when brains were passed out. John Delin was an outstanding student in all his subjects and on the Honor Roll all the wayg while Meck, Moffitt and B. Brown were also frequently listed on the Honor Roll. In the Sodality were J. D. Roberts and Don Moffitt. All in all it was a successful and busy year and next year we hope to see the same boys coming up to the School on the Hill for an even greater year for the Seniors of '50! 28 Xa- , , ij, F--n sf? fl l . f, N A 1 ,, .2 ,.

E. Browning, S.J., Teacher. Shortly after the boys of 2A had put away their fishing tackle and tennis rackets to begin school in September, they elected the class officers who would lead them for the year: Francis Miranda, President, Larry Magner, Vice-Presidentg Frank Bernhard, Secretary, and John Tolle, Treasurer. 2A boys were very active in all departments. They made many and useful contribu- tions to the Sodality, the Altar Boys, the Phil, the Band, and all the Athletic Teams. When the Phil produced The Merchant of Venice, four of the prominent actors, Allen, Rodgers, Tolle and Finegan were from room 103. In the Elocution Contest Schoof and Allen reached the finals. During the year 2A boys made the Honor Roll more consistently than any other class in the school. In athletics the class was well represented by Larry Magner and Bob Wood, who played important roles in the success of varsity football, basketball and baseball teams. On the roster of the B-football team we found Mullins, Finegan, Rodgers and Leech. In baseball, Harold Munchrath, Francis Miranda and Jim Finegan made the B-team. John Tolle and Ray Vance were assistant managers of varsity football and baseball respectively. Throughout the year 2A was a leader in class competitions. In the magazine subscription drive they finished first, in both football and baseball ticket sales 2A was second. The technical professor of 2A was Mr. J. E. Browning, S.J., who taught us Religion, English and Latin. Mr. J. J. Cazenavette, S.J., instructed us in Math while Coach Rossi turned back the pages of History for us. May the fine spirit which characterized us during the past year continue until we become the Grads of '51! 29 'x l fx f'7':'J'r'p X 1 - ff x .4 it iii ii , f kj A 1 4 ,JA i SPORTING iii ii l By TOMMY BROWN I I l Right to left ffacing cameraj, first row: Duval, second row: T.

Lostetter, Jim Ameel, Pangle, Gallerano, Fr. Douville, S,J. With Father Ross, S.J., Jesuit Highls Athletic Director, as our Technical Teacher, and Coach Rossi teaching us History, it is not at all surprising that 2B should be outstanding in sports. In football, there was Dick Whetzle, Dick Willding and Joe Lostetter who lettered on the Varsity, V. Brown, Thompson, McKean, Schleicher, Jim Ameel, Avery, DeHaes and Gal- lerano who played either as subs for the Varsity or regularly on the B-team, and T. Brown and Al Killeen who were football managers. In basketball we boasted of Dick Whetzle as a Varsity letterman and Dick Willding as a mainstay of the B-team. In baseball we have three very good prospective lettermen in Whetzle, Willding and Lostetter along with five or six probables for the newly formed B-team. Nor was 2B only sportsrninded. With Dick Whetzle as President, Joe Pangle as Vice-President, Pierre Duval as Secretary, and Tommy Brown as Treasurer, we had very good class organization, first' under Father Ross and later under Father Douville. To Mr. Cazenavette's Band we contributed such mainstays as Ronald Voegtle, Jim Ameel, Dick Schanz, Dan O'Hearn and Dick Schleicher. In the Philothespic we were represented by Joe Pangle, Sammy Hagar, and Tommy Brown. While on the roll call of the St. Johnis Berchmans' Club were listed the names of Joe Pangle, Victor Gallerano, Dan O'Hearn, Joe Ameel, Dick Schleicher and Tommy Brown. In the next two years we hope to continue our many and Varied activities and, though one of the smallest classes of the school in numbers, we hope to make our presence felt far and wide.

If any of the projects carried out this year are crystal-balling for the future, upperclassmen better start thinking. Why the applause for the Frosh? Here's the history of half of them. Judge for yourself. Before the dust of the range had been well stirred by freshmen boots, Mr. Edwards called for Phil candidates and Otto, O'Leary, Neuhoff and Coughlin were in that or- ganization before the echoes of his voice had died. Immediately after first quarter reports, elec- tion of class officers was held with friendly rivalry. The following were elected: Henry Neuhoff, President, Bob Lostetter, Vice-President, Guy O'Leary, secretary, Jan Collmer, Treasurer, and Paul Peters, Marshal. The call came for B-football and was rapidly answered by Neuhoff and Cameron. Before the cleats had cooled Mr. Staub issued the basketball data, and Tim Carr, Paul Peters and David Furlow went on to play the fast game. The all important Sodality along with the famous Jesuit Band claimed a goodly number of 1A-in fact, too many to name, so, let's just congratulate. The Berchmans' Club recruited Terry Burns, Charles Turner, John Leech, John Lynch and Pat McDowell. Two ever hopeful and industrious boys of 1A, Bill Otto and Pat McDowell, worked long and hard to enter the elite circle of THE ROUNDUP Staff .... Add to all this our part in one of the most successful dances of the year, our doings in the drives, our fine Class Nites and numerous skating parties under the direction of Father Monaghan, and you can well understand why I am crystal-balling a great future for the members of our class. But, my crystal ball is getting a bit cloudy. We had better wait until next year to spin the wheel of chance for the Sophomores of '5O. BEE SWARMING By JOE FLEMING, JR.

It was a bright morning when the freshmen Bees first swarmed upon the big, red school house on Oak Lawn. That Very first day we met two outstanding personalities-Mr. Staub, who was to teach us everything but Algebra, and Father Day, who was forever to haunt us with the hidden values of unknown quantities. School was off to a surprisingly swift start during the sweltering days of September. October brought us cooler weather, the Fair, our first Jesuit reports, Class President Dan Brannin, Vice-President Jamile Ashmore, Secretary Bob Adams and Treasurer John Eldredge. November gave us football and Brannin, Dean and Price on the B-team, Eldredge, Stamper and Weed in the band, and Bobby and Billy Adams, Eldredge, Hal- leck and Weed in the Altar Boys. In December joe Daboub, Wasaff, Jaska, McCarthy, Brannin, Clem, Dean, Cox, Flood, Barraco, Tutton and the Adams twins moved up to the gym to be molded into a fairly flashy Junior Basketball Team under the direction of Mr. Staub. However, they did come down in time to help us greet Santa and enjoy a swell Bar-B-Q at Brannin's. January brought ice, sleet, snow, unexpected holidays and mid-term exams. February gave us Cupid, a swell Valentine dance, and lots of new and beautiful friends at Merici, St. Ed's and L.G.C. March brought us more exams and report cards, baseball, and a new B-team under the direction of Mr. Staub .... I could keep on buzzing right along but I have to get this into The Last Roundup and I know I have already convinced you that the 1B hive is no place for drones. . fi ,,,.- X C it CONTEST COMMENTS Each year The Roundup conducts a Short- Story Contest and an Essay Contest open to all students of the school. In the Short-Story Contest the subject and manner of the stories is entirely up to the student. The one great requirement is that the stories be original. In the Essay Contest the subject is announced a few weeks in advance of the writing date. The students are allowed to prepare as much as they wish in advanceg but during the three hours of the contest they must write without the aid of books or notes. The papers in both contests are judged by a board of professional judges. This year the unusual happened. Johnny V 5 Stacer, talented junior, won bothiithe Essay and the Short-Story Contest. Hoflgier, this should not come as too much of a surprise to our readers, because this is the second consec- tive year that Johnny has won first place in this contestg and his Short-Story, Red Light, which brought him top honors in our contest, also brought him a first prize in the fiction contest conducted by Extension magazine. Second prize in the Essay Contest went to Phil Hanley. Honorable mentions were awarded to Jimmy Callan, Tom Cullinan, and Jim Jacoby. In the Short-Story Contest hon- orable mentions were awarded to Ray Pra- sifka, Neil O'Brien, and john Saul. JOHNNY STACER CHRIST AND YOUTH. INC. By J oi-:NNY STACER Recently an elderly gentleman stood on a busy corner in a large city. He had arrived in early morning and remained far into the night, and, as people passed, he asked each this sim- ple question: Why are you alive? He re- peated this query hundreds of times-he asked all who passed, regardless of age, sex, race, he asked men, women, bankers, dishwashers, any- one--everyone. He was answered in varied and surprising ways, but not once during the day did he receive a reply that satisfied him. Next morning he returned to that location and continued his questioning of all passersby. About four o'clock a small boy came by hurry- ing home from school. The old gentleman stopped this lad and asked him, Why are you alive? Momentarily, the boy looked puzzledg then he replied: God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him, that I may be happy in this life and enjoy Him eternally in heaven. The man watched until the boy was out of sight, smiled, then turned and left the busy corner. He had found the right answer at last! He was alive to be happy and he WOULD be happy-not just here but also in eternity -if he would know, love, and serve God. just what prompted that elderly man to stand there so long questioning all who passed, we don't know. Perhaps it was the present state of world unrest, the feeling of insecur- ity, the fear of an atomic war with its dread consequences, it could have been any of the numberless things causing unhappiness in to- day's world. But whatever his reason, he was answered completely, for that same, simple, childlike Catechism answer contains the solu- tion to a multitude of questions. It is the solution to all problems confront- ing the world today. If men would only live that simple rule of life there would be no more wars, no more fears, no more unrest, no more unhappiness. If men would know God, love God, and serve God as best they know how, there would be peace, security, and as full a measure of happiness as can be found on earth, with the additional promise of everlasting joy in eternity. Our important objective in life, then, is to bring all men to know God, love God, and serve God, thus insuring peace, security, and happiness for our world. Recognizing this we now ask: What can we, as young Catholic men, do to achieve this goal? just how can we bring Christ's teachings to the troubled world around us? How can we, who, like that small boy, know why God created us, bring happi- ness to ourselves and to the world at large? What will be our Special Apostolate for Christ ? First of all, we ourselves must know, love, and serve God in our particular stations in life. This is extremely important, for we can- not hope to get others to do what we ourselves fail to practice. Good example is perhaps the most powerful tool at our command, we must never underrate it. This question is raised: How do we get to know God? For us so fortunate as to attend a Catholic high school, it's simple: all we need do is to take advantage of the wealth of infor- mation available in our religion classes, apply these lessons to practical every-day life-and the first step will have been made toward our objective. When we really know God, it isn't hard to love Him. As we gather knowledge of His infi- nite goodness, His kindness, His mercy, His all- embracing love for humankind- Greater love than this has no man: that he lay down his life for his friend --our better understanding causes our love for God to grow. Indeed, when we know God, we cannot help loving Him, and so we find ourselves nearer our goal. Loving God goes hand-in-hand with desiring to serve Him, and here our first step is obedi- ence to His commandments and the precepts of His Church. Also, performing the duties of one's state in life as best one can plays an im- portant part in serving God. Briefly, we serve God when we obey God every minute,- rather, every second of our lives. While knowing God, loving God, and serv- ing God ourselves represents the most impor- tant part of our special apostolate, there is added grace and special reward for service extending beyond the call of duty. That extra something, which brings others to know, love, and serve God, will most surely increase our own happiness, helping in a special manner to bring peace, security, and contentment to this world. That something extra-what does it mean? It means bringing Christ into everything we do, everything we say, every moment of our lives. It means trying to do everything like the other Christs that, by the incredible grace of Christ, we actually are, it means living up to the divine life within us-making use of every opportunity to kindle that life in others, to reduplicate Christ in everyone we meet. It means praying for those in need of prayer, including special prayers for the conversion of Russia. It means helping those who need help. There are thousands of little extras to assist others on the road to peace and happiness in the knowledge, love, and service of God. There are also a few big extras whereby we can accomplish our mission to the fullest extent. Perhaps the greatest of these is dedicat- ing one's life toward bringing others to Christ. This doesn't necessarily mean becoming a priest, although the priesthood represents the highest, most sacred office a man can hold- an office which offers many opportunities for leading souls into eternal happiness while sav- ing one's own soul. Today Christ needs good Catholic men in all walks of life. He wants doctors, writers, businessmen, lawyers, labor- leaders, artisans, speakers-all with courage to practice their faith openly and freely, men who will invite Him into their offices, their fac- tories, the movies, the radio, the press. He needs men in national and international poli- tics who will adopt His principles and so guide the nation and the world to peace and security at His feet. In this all-important choice of a vocation, one's work should bring personal con- tentment and also opportunities to spread Christ's teachings. Today Communism threatens the peace and security, the very existence of the world. Its followers work day and night, spreading their insane doctrines, trying to make every soul the slave of Stalin instead of the servant of God. Today more than ever before religion stands as the sole hope of the world, the last barrier against the spread of Communism. We Cath- olics, who know we are right, must be willing to work as diligently to spread right as Com- munists work to spread wrong. To preserve peace, security, freedom, happiness, and to save our immortal souls we must work unceas- ingly as Special Apostles for Christ. Suppose that tomorrow, in the ordinary course of the day's events, a man closely resem- bling your ideal should enter into your life: a big, strong, kindly man-a good guy, a man of courage, a man of virtue, a man of learning-a man the whole world would like to imitate. Suppose this man became your inti- mate friend, helped you in your difficulties, walked with you, talked with you, laughed with you, in short, was simply your pal Should this man come to you and say: Listen, pal, I've dedicated my life to improving this world. I'm beginning what might be called a crusade-a crusade to rid this world of war, sin, and unhappiness and in their stead to bring lasting peace and contentment. I can't attempt this enormous undertaking alone, that's why I'm asking you to join hands with me. True, there'll be many hardships, but remember: I'll never ask any sacrifice of you that I would not willingly and gladly make, and I'll be right at your side always to help in everything you do. If you work as I ask, not only will you find life-long happiness but I promise that victory will ultimately crown your efforts. Will you come with me? We would be fools or cowards to refuse that request! No such human being ever existed, nor will he ever exist, for he could not be a mere man but would be God. But-God DID come down to earth and God was just such a man. Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, miraculously God AND man, asks us to come with Him. He left heaven, He became a friend to men, He became a regular fellow , and now He asks us to join His side of the fight-His fight to bring the peace that surpasseth all under- standing to this disorganized, unhappy world. To those who accept His invitation, He prom- ises not only happiness here below but eternal joy with Him in heaven. Can we-dare we refuse Him? . RED LIGHT By JOHNNY STACER It was past midnight on an intensely cold night in January, the ground was covered with a white blanket of new-fallen snow, the air filled with millions of large feathery snow- fiakes, driven by a strong wind into deep drifts against every house and fence in sight. Beau- tiful? Perhaps, but not to me. You see, I was driving an old car, struggling to get home over the slippery, icy highway. I was tired and sleepy and each falling snowflake meant that the miles ahead of me would be just that much harder to cover. So it is no wonder that I found it difficult to see the beauty of those snowflakes as they came at me, bursting on the windshield before me like tiny white bombs. At one o'clock I was driving down an icy hill less than a mile from home and, weary though I was, I found it impossible to keep my mind from dwelling on an accident I had witnessed earlier that night .... An old-model Ford, stopped for a traffic light, had been hit by a skidding truck which completely crushed it. For more than thirty minutes we had worked to remove the sole occupant of the lit- tle car from its wreckage only to find that his heart had stopped beating, his limbs were limp and cold, and his soul had already gone before its Judge. At the next intersection a red traffic light stopped meg and, knowing this to be a long light, I closed my eyes to rest them for just a moment .... A second later I seemed to hear a loud crash and I lapsed into unconscious- ness .... The next thing I knew I was in a large, bril- liantly lighted room. At first I thought I was in a hospitalg but-where was my body? Then came the realization that I had no body! I was dead and standing before the judgment seat of my Creator! In an instant's time all the sins of my life fiashed before me and then I heard the words, I sentence thee . . . CGod was already passing judgment on me!j ...to one thousand years in purgatory! I was frightenedg I tried to make excuses. Dear Lord, I heard myself saying, I didn't mean to commit all those sins .... But my re- pentance came too late, the angel was already leading me down, down, down, until I could see the red fires of purgatory before me-and the heat became more and more intense until I found myself enveloped in one of those awful fires myself. The suffering in purgatory was terrible indeed: the terrific heat, the fact that I burned and burned but never burned awayg that there was never any let-up in my pain. I didn't understand how hell could possibly be worse than purgatory-except, of course, for the knowledge that some day I would get out of purgatory while there would be no such con- solation in hell. Because of the intensity of my suffering it seemed a million years must have passed in- stead of a thousand when I heard a clock strike two--and realized that I had been in purga- tory but one short hour! If such were the agony of one hour, how could I endure it for a thou- sand years? Suddenly I heard a horn blow and my first thought was, The end of the world has come, I will be released from my terrible prison! But this was not true, that terrible red expanse of fire still seemed to sur- round me, although for some reason I did not feel the heat so much. I began to grow cooler -then colder. I tried to remember my Cate- chism. Did the souls in purgatory suffer from cold as well as heat? ...I moved-and in do- ing so came up against something solid and realized that I was held in on all sides .... But wait! I had been able to MOVE! That meant I again possessed a body, perhaps it really WAS the end of the world and my soul had been reunited with my body! ...But no! that red glow still surrounded me ...or DID it? I could see it only in front of me now, and it was becoming smaller and smaller as I grew colder and colder .... Now it was but a pinpoint of light in the sky before me-it looked like a traffic light .... It WAS a traffic light!...Suddenly I real- ized I was in my own car-I wasn't in purga- tory at all--I hadn't been hit by a truck-the red fire of purgatory was only a traffic light- I was alive-in my own car-ALIVE!!! But that horn . . . that horn which had seemed to signal the end of the world? I could still hear it! . . . I glanced in my rear vision mir- ror and there I saw two headlights, with three colored lights above them-coming down that icy hill behind me.. . a. truck-and coming fast! . . . I could NOT let that truck hit me . . . and I DID NOT! I got out of the way faster than I had ever moved in all my life before ...I did NOT let that truck hit me .... I've never gotten in a truck's path since...and I never will! Never, NEVER!! . . . after spending that hour in purgatory!

Resting squarely on the shoulders of the members of the St. John Berchman's Sanc- tuary Society is the responsibility and honor of assisting at the numerous religious functions held at Jesuit. Be it either the weekly Mass for the general student body or the monthly First Friday devotions, the servers may be observed performing their duties competently and de- voutly. The spirit of self sacrifice is one of the chief requisites for being an altar boy. But the men of the Berchmann's Club realize that this sac- rifice is well worth the graces that they receive from serving Mass. Certainly there is nothing more worthy of the Mass than assisting at the re-enactment of Calvary. The boys themselves realize the great honor bestowed upon them by being given the spe- cial privilege of serving Mass because this privilege was formerly reserved to those hav-- ing received minor orders. The duty of the Altar Boys, which is repre- senting the faithful at Mass, is so important that it is only for a very grave reason that a priest may be allowed to say Mass without the assistance of an acolyte. Just as sound spokes are the most essential part of a turning wheel, so good officers are the most essential parts of a progressive organiza- tion such as the St. John's Berchman's Club is. The glove of the Presidency will fit no other hand than that of Bill Eweng the Vice Presi- dent's office can be Hlled by no more capable person than Neil O'Brieng the offices of Secre- tary and Treasurer are in the capable hands of Bill Walsh and Mark Tolle. The members are under the guidance and direction of Mr. Joseph Browning, S.J., to whom is due all praise for the faultless preci- sion and splendid manner of each individual member.

This year the Sodality has met with more success than in any previous year. It was very well organ- ized and its actions were very well guided by a good Central Council. During the year the Sodality accepted a large group of candidates into their midst. Their drives and functions all met with suc- cess, from the Candidates' drive early in the year to the annual Sodality Day held in March. The driving force behind the Sodality was the Central Council. The Council is composed of eight men, including the Rev. Fr. Tynan, SJ., Moderator, and it guided the organiza- tion through the year, giving the Sodalists a well-rounded and well-balanced program. The members were Bill Walsh, prefect, Bob Begien, vice-prefect, Mark Tolle, secretary, Jerry Las- telick, treasurer and Eucharistic committee chairmang Tom Cullinan, chairman of the pub- licity committeeg John Stacer, chairman of the Apostolic committee, Larry Magner, chairman of the Marian committee. Each month there was a large project in which every Sodalist took part. Each week the Council would introduce a new phase or angle which would keep the interest high through- out the school. During September the emphasis was on the training of the candidates. They attended weekly instruction classes under the jurisdic- tion of Vice-Prefect Bob Begien. Extending over a period of several months, the classes were completed by the end of November. On December 3, in the Boys' Chapel, twenty-six new men were admitted to the Sodality. In October the Marian committee arranged the Sodality functions for that month. The carrying of rosaries was emphasized and many various methods were used to impress the stu- dents with the importance of this idea. The Publicity committee kept the school informed and the Apostolic committee spread timely literature on the subject. All of the committees got together in November in a combined effort to stress the importance of helping the souls in purgatory. The general student body was asked to attend Mass regularly on week days and to make small sacrifices on behalf of the souls in pur- gatory. Posters and other data on the Sodality bulletin board kept the project in the public eye. The month of December saw an attempt to prepare the school for Advent and the coming of Christ. Again daily Mass was prescribed as a good means of preparation. After Christmas, the Annual Retreat was foremost in the minds of all. The Sodalists were, by example, work- ing to make the Retreat a success. The Sodality began to prepare for the an- nual Sodality Day toward the end of Feb- ruary. Plans were made to invite the nation- ally famous speaker, the Rev. Father Daniel A. Lord, SJ., as guest of honor, and to convert the school into an assembly hall. Special com- mittees were formed and all details were care- fully worked out in advance. The Sodality Day was held on March 12. Sodalists from all of the Sodalities of Dallas and vicinity were present. Father Lord made several addresses and these, with the other interesting functions, provided a most success- ful occasion. The last large event of the year was held during Lent. A drive, which proved successful, for the Missions, Bishop's Relief and the Vati- can Radio Station, was sponsored by the Sodal- ity and held throughout the school. The past year has marked a milestone in the advance of the Sodality. More than ever before the organization has worked together and under the able leadership of Father Tynan the year has been a full and prosperous one for the Sodality and for the Sodalists them- selves.

ROUNDUP HANDS 'KW WH 'ix'-Q E f N M .sw-f-ww-1 if wfwwm . RW GU., qv, -3' Left to right, seated: Johnny Stacer. Mark S. Tolle, Rev. E. P. Curry. S.J., Edo S. Biasatti, Lelon Beckham, Pat Shea: standing: Dick O'Leary. john McKey, Neil O'Brien, Tom Cullinan, Lupe Quevedo, Pat McDowell, john Wilkerson, Phil Hanley, john B. Tolle, and Bill Otto. There is a very distinguished group of gen- tlemen here at Jesuit who have accomplished a great deal during the past year. No, I am not speaking of the faculty. but of those unsur- passed geniuses, The Roundup staff. Let us review their individual records and judge for ourselves whether or not they are worthy of praise. First, there's the editor of the paper-Mark Tolle. Mark was a member of the old Roundup during his freshman year. He willingly ac- cepted his present position and piloted the new Roundup so well through its first year of exist- ence that he was judged worthy of one of The Roundup's Service Awards for this year. Next is Johnny Stacer, or Perfection Per- sonifiedf' If Johnny ever makes a mistake, the dear editor, along with the rest of his gallant cohorts, will probably keel over dead. This is Johnny's first year on the staff, but you can readily see why he is such a valuable person to have on your side, as well as why he has been chosen as next year's editor. As you may notice by lightly paging through this issue, johnny took both the Short Story and the English Essay contests. Phil Hanley needs no introduction. You all remember him for his excellent work in The Merchant of Venice. Phil is a junior, and a good little reporter with a sly wit for writing. It is Phil whom Johnny has chosen as his chief assistant for next year. Our excellent feature editor, Tom Cullinan. is known to one and all for his wonderful bas- ketball prowess. Tom, a junior, has been on the staff only a year, but has done some very creditable work in covering all feature stories in an interesting, as well as highly informative, manner. John Tolle is having a gay time of it with his newsy column, The Alumni Roundup. Each month John manages to have up-to-date reports of our departed brethren for us, so that we may have no fears as to their well-being. John is a sophomore who is active in almost all activities, and outstanding in both scholastic and speaking ability. A word now about our ever-loving sports ed- itor, Pat Shea, and his assistants, Neil O,Brien and Pat McDowell. Pat Shea is completing his first year of Roundup service, but on read- ing his worb one would think he had been at it quite a while longer. Neil O'Brien, a com- bination of Bob Hope, and Bob Burns with a ukelele, is Pat's Number One assistant. He has his own column in The Roundup called 'fOn the Range, in which he very tastefully retells and forecasts events of local interests. The third member of the sports scribes, Pat Mc- Dowell, is a freshman and has just recently been accepted. However, if he continues to produce his present type of work, he will be Grantland Rice, Jr., come 1952. Dick O'Leary is our staff photographer. It is through his efforts that The Roundup has pic- tures in it. Dick is a senior with one year fand 10,000 flash bulbsj of service behind him. Our art department is in the capable hands of Lupe Quevedo and John Wilkerson, both seniors and veterans of previous Roundup staffs. There are two fellows on the staff who are always worrying about that root of all evil. They are Edo Biasatti and Lelon Beckham, our business manager and assistant business manager, respectively, whose task it is to see that The Roundup has at all times sufficient wherewithal to meet its debts. Edo has been on the staff for four years, and has done mag- nificent work during that time. It is very fit- ting, therefore, that he should be honored this year with The Roundup's Four-Year Award. Lelon, although on the staff for only one year, has turned in work of such high caliber that he was deemed worthy of a Service Award for his splendid efforts this year. Edo and Lelon both have done a bang-up job, and will be hard to replace indeed. However, two boys are be- ing groomed to fill their shoes. These priv- ileged persons are Bill Otto, a freshman, who is learning fast the way to make a touch, and john McKey, a junior, who has also shown an interest in the selling game. Our beloved moderator, Father Edward P. Curry, SJ., is the man who must oversee this heathen horde. He is really a swell person, and everybody enjoys working with him, especially during our staff meetings, which are the last word in parliamentary procedure and demo- cratic dealings. S These, then, are the gentlemen who have brought you The Roundup during the current year. Don't you think they deserve a round of applause?

Brown, J. Tolle and M. Tolle. Servite Deo in Laetitia - Serve God in joy -is the motto of the Philothespic Society. This year has undoubtedly been a joyful one for the Phil, it has likewise been a very busy one. There has been plenty of work to do, diffi- culties to meet, obstacles to overcome, but the Phil has come through it all with flying colors and may now look back with satisfaction to the culmination of a successful year. The Phil's work began almost with the open- ing of school. Applications for membership topped any previous year in the Phil's history, and from this large number a group of boys well qualified to meet its strict requirements was accepted. During the course of the year, in addition to entertainments following the regular meetings, the Phil put on a one-act play for the Mother's Club, a one-act play for the Dads' Club, and a radio play for the Moth- er's Club Christmas Party. Phil members have made excellent use of the training received during both the business and entertainment sections of their Sunday meetings. In early December Ray Prasifka brought honor to himself and to Jesuit Hi by defeating speakers from seven other Dallas schools to win the I Speak for Democracy contest. Later, in the Gold Medal Debate, Johnny Stacer, Al Collins, Neil O'Brien, and Ray Prasifka showed the practice they received discussing controversial motions at Phil meet- ings had not been wasted. In the Elocution Contest Phil members again demonstrated their public speaking abilities to bring addi- tional praise and honor to themselves, their school, and the Philothespic Society which had trained them. This year's Executive Committee has kept the Phil functioning smoothly at all times. President Bill Walsh, Vice President Jim O'Reilly, Secretary Neil O,Brien, and Treas- urer Bob Begien have performed their respec- tive tasks most creditably. Officers and mem- bers alike have given evidence of the thorough training in parliamentary law made available in the Phil by assuming positions of leader- ship in their classes and in other extra-curric- ular activities. Truly, the Phil's list of accomplishments for the year is a long one, but at the top unques- tionably belongs the Shakespearian play, the Merchant oi Venice. The cast for the play has been accurately described as perfectly rounded , every actor played his part to per- fection and so made the Phil production an outstanding success. While every member of the cast received complimentary mention, the principals were given special acclaim. Ray Prasifka's excel- lent portrayal of Shylockls intense hatred for Antonio, his rage over Jessica's flight, his de- sire for revenge, his joy at Antonio's misfor- tune, and the final and complete breakdown of his seemingly indomitable spirit brought him a truly tremendous ovation at his final exit. It isn't easy for a boy to play a girl's role, yet Phil Hanley's portrayal of Portia left noth- ing to be desired, the audience really loved him! Al Collins's portrayal of Bassanio's love for Portia and loathing for Shylock really was Kitopsj? John Tolle played the title role of Antonio, and his acting was superb. The audience thor- oughly enjoyed Bob Stearns as the wild and fun-loving Gratiano and Burnell Brown in the girl's role of Nerissa. The moonlit love scene between Jessica fTommy Allenj and Lorenzo Qjim Broganj furnished one of the highlights of the entire play. Jim Callan and Jerry Post, as Salarino and Salanio, respectively, gave an excellent imitation of Shylock's anger over the Hight of his daughter. One of the most mirth- provoking scenes featured Neil O'Brien as the Clown Launcelot and Johnny Stacer as his blind father. Edo Biasatti was particularly dra- matic as the Prince of Morocco and both he and john Rodgers, the Prince of Arragon, re- ceived favorable comment. Mark Tolle as the somewhat lazy Blathasar was extremely enter- taining. jim Fleming's fine voice added much to his portrayal of the Duke of Venice. Jim O'Reilly as Shylock's friend Tubal, Bill Otto as Leonardo, and Jim Finegan as the Bailliff portrayed their respective roles to perfection. The well rounded and well trained cast also included John Barta, Pat McCaffrey, Henry Neuhoff, and Frank Coughlin, who were very effective in their roles as Pages. The costumes and scenery for the Merchant oi Venice were beautiful indeed, and the light- ing, handled by President Bill Walsh, was superb. Particular credit for their work behind the scenes is due to Mr. Cazenavette in charge of make-up and Mr. Browning in charge of music. Cooperative staging crew and busi- ness management, attractive programs, zealous ticket salesmen, and fine audiences contrib- uted greatly to the over-all success of the play. All in all, the year was a successful and joy- ful one for the Phil, a year Filled with worth- while accomplishments, and in giving credit where credit is due, the many successes achieved by the Phil are directly attributable to our Reverend Moderator, Mr. Edwards, who, with the invaluable assistance of Fr. Kammer, has made this year really and truly one of joyful service for the Philothespic Society. PRIZE DEBATERS Left to right: Johnny Stacer, Ray Prasifka, Bill Ewen, Neil O'Brien, Al Collins. Though the night of December 10 was quite chilly outside, fire and fury to spare prevailed inside Jesuit Hi Auditorium. For on that night one of the most closely contested Gold Medal Debates in Jesuit history was fought to a fin- ish by quick-thinking young debaters. This year's subject-Resolved: That the United Nations now be revised into a Federal World Government-provided both teams with whole arsenals of munitions, including an atom bomb or two, to use in proving their cases. The Affirmative was upheld by Ray Pra- sifka and Johnny Stacerg Al Collins and Neil O'Brien championed the Negativeg Bill Ewen was Chairman. The debate was closely fought, first one side and then the other seeming to hold the advantage. After the contest Judges John H. Malone, James S. Alderman. and James H. McCaffrey had a very difficult time deciding which team had won. Meanwhile, the audience was enjoying Edo Biasatti's presen- tation of f'Mia Carlotta and Da Horsa Race. Finally the Judges returned to proclaim that the Negative Team, A1 Collins and Neil O'Brien, had won the debate. However, the award for the best speaker went to Johnny Stacer of the Affirmative. All four debaters and the chairman are to be congratulatedg the clear logic, consistent. well-planned argumen- tation, and fiery elocution of all contestants did much to make the debate one of the liveliest in Jesuit history. While taking no credit from the debaters themselves, we know that, if truth could come to light and the long hours of preparation coud be seen by all. by far the greater portion of credit for making this year's Gold Medal Debate an outstanding success should go to Father Kammer, the Affirmative Coach, and to Father McCown, the Negative Coach and Debate Moderator. SCHOLARSHIP. LEADERSHIP. CHARACTER. SERVICE By PHIL HANLEY Left to right, seated: Bob Begien, Rev. R. A. Tynan, S.J., Bill Walsh, standing: Neil O'Brien, Jim O'Reilly, Johnny Stacer, Ray Prasifka, Mark S. Tolle, Tom Cullinan, Phil Hanley. One of the leading societies in the service of Jesuit High School is the Aloysius Chapter of the National Honor Society. The organi- zation, under the leadership of Father R. A. Tynan, S.J., Moderator, is composed of Bob Begien, President, Bill Walsh, Vice President, jim O'Reilly, Secretary, Raymond Prasifka, Treasurer, and Mark Tolle, John Stacer, Neil O'Brien, Tom Cullinan, and Phil Hanley, members. As indicated by the number of mem- bers, the National Honor Society is a small and select group. Those candidates wishing to enter the society are seriously judged on the requisites of the Society: scholarship, lead- ership, character, and service. As this society is not concerned with quantity so much as quality, the entrance qualifications are rig- orous. The special purpose of this organization is to mould, strengthen, and develop the charac- ters of its members, to serve the school and to honor those students who justly deserve praise for their Scholastic Achievements. During the past year, the National Honor Society has had the honor of conducting the assemblies. It has also had the honor to con- duct the first great social event of the school year, the Acquaintance Dance. Moreover, this year the society succeeded in having a plaque erected in honor of the war dead of the school. This was a noble project and one, I think, which will bring credit both to the school and to the organization. With four of its nine members returning next year, and with the promise of fine new recruits, I am sure that Jesuit High School can look forward to an even better and a more organized National Honor Society in 1950.

The last year has marked a new era in the accomplishments and activities of the Jesuit High School Band. From every standpoint progress and success have been evident. The membership of the Band was increased, ad- ministrative and disciplinary problems were met by the formation of a Student Council and impressive performances were given at the Annual Concert and the State Contest held at Waco. The Band also provided good enter- tainment at the football games with its fine playing and marching between halves. Per- haps the most important step forward for the Band was the acquisition of a new room for rehearsals. The Band's displays during the football games and particularly between the halves were well balanced and expertly done. In both marching maneuvers and in the musical de- partment the results of good drilling were apparent. Jack Norwood, freshman, was Drum Major. The idea of a Student Council for the Band was put into effect this year by Mr. Cazenav- ette, SJ., Band Moderator. Steve McDer- mott was elected president, and councilmen elected from each section were Jerry Post, Mike Brown, Robert Kinninger, John Daniels, and Billy Evans. The Annual Band Concert was held April 28, in Spence Auditorium. The program was a well rounded one and included overtures, marches and popular pieces. Solos were played by Jerry Post, Steve McDermott, Al Collins and John Daniel. Fine directing by Mr. E. L. Hohman and tireless planning by Mr. Cazenevette proved to be the biggest aids in making the year a most successful one. INTRAMURAL STAFF Le-It to right, first row: Dick VVhetzle, Eddie Joseph, Jerry Lastelick, Al Faber, Johnny O'Brien, Dick Willdlng, Bill Walsh, Mr. Staub, S.j.g second row: joe LaRocca, J. D. Roberts, Jim Alderman, Neil O'Brien, Larry Magner, Joe Lostetterg third row: Gino Biasatti, Bill Ewen, Bob Begien, Edo Biasatti, Tom Cullinan, Mark S. Tolle. In intramurals many of the class feuds are settled for a day, and many new ones are made. In any event there is always a certain thrill about intramurals, at least to the spectators, that even varsity games fail to produce. Of course these high spirits must be either con- trolled, or loosed on some unsuspecting chap, and it is here that the referees come in. The intramural boys take all the beatings of the disconsolate fans, and are the general subject of the loosing team. Mark Tolle heads this staff of sturdies. Aided by Mr. Staub he makes out the games, sees that they are played, and most of all, sees that they are refereed. He has an able staff under him, comprising men from all the varsity teams. To the many headed who think it is an easy job to referee a game, I have this to say: The referee crams his lunch down in a few minutes flat, then he rushes out to the field for the flrst game and finds that only half of the teams are present. While awaiting the laxidasical bunch, he goes through endless torment refusing bribes. When the players have at last arrived, the Ref must round up the ball, which by that time has mysteriously disappeared. Finally the game begins, and it is here that the ref- eree begins his really big job. He is verbally attacked by the spectators, and in close games verbs are discarded for more weighty weapons. Thus a referee's job is not at all one of com- fort. The boys on the intramural staff are very good workers. They have to be. The fellows on the intramural staff cer- tainly do deserve a great deal of credit for the work they have done during the past year, and Mr. Staub deserves even more. COACHES 1948-49 John Wall, Horace Young and Don Rossi The scholastic year of 1948-1949 has been a banner year for Jesuit High in athletics. During the past year we have enjoyed the most successful and spectacular of seasons in all sports. On the gridiron the boys in blue and white jerseys made themselves feared and respected as a never-say-die outfit which ceased lighting only at the final whistle. And those same final whistles proclaimed them victors ive out of eight times. Our eagle-eyed hoopsters mauled the meshes all over North Texas as they piled up the amazing record of twenty- three wins in twenty-live games played. As we go to press baseball has just gotten under way, and already we are on the glory road with five wins and no defeats. Such is the prelude to our sports section, and before we give it to you in detail we would like to pause for a bow to and a hand for the men most responsible-our Coaches: Mr. Don A. Rossi, head coach of all sports, Mr. John Wall, assistant coach in football and basket- ball, Mr. Horace Young, assistant coach in football. These three are pictured above. But, there are some others who aren't but who deserve much praise nonetheless: Mr. Staub, S. J., who coached Junior basket- ball and B-baseball, Mr. Cronin, SJ., and Mr. Browning, S.J., who coached B-football, and Fr. Ross, S.J., our athletic director. With a big bow to them and a great hand for them, let us see the results of their work more in detail. 48 IESUIT RANGERS, 1948 .assi X. ' isx Ei ua . ,.. c t-, . NS, X 5'-'N 3 5 ,g?? gl!

J PIGSKIN REVIEW Something new was added to the regular routine of the Jesuit football program. For the first time in the school's history, the squad trained away from Dallas. They spent two weeks working out at Camp Tejas near Den- ton, Texas, under the able direction of the new head coach, Don Rossi, and his two assistants, Mr. Young and Mr. Wall. The team embarked on August 16th with high spirit and every man knowing what would be expected of him. There was a great deal of work for both the team and the coaches to accomplish in a short time as Coach Rossi had to instill the T-formation into a team that had always operated off the single and double wing modes of offense. It was a hard job but when the season opened, the Rangers looked like veterans of the T. IESUIT 37. ST. JOHNS 6 In the opening game of the season the Jesuit 1948 Ranger eleven displayed a wealth of speed and power in walloping the St. Johns Flyers of Shreveport 37-6 at Highlander Sta- dium. After only three minutes of play Gino Bia- satti powered his way over from the one-yard line for the initial Ranger touchdown. Alder- man then converted for the only extra point of the game. The second tally was on a pass from Bill Ewen to end, Billy Walsh. A few minutes later Biasatti scored his second touchdown when he broke through tackle and the entire St. Johns secondary for 55 yards and the touchdown. The longest run of the game was accredited little Johnny O'Brien when he dashed around end and scampered 61 yards to pay dirt. The other Ranger tallies came by way of a 35-yard pass from Ewen to O'Rei1ly and a 30- yard run by speedy Paul Ruwaldt. The Flyers' only score came as a result of Pete Terracita's 60-yard dash to the Rangers three-yard line from where he scored. IESUIT 7, GAINESVILLE 18 In the Gainesville game, played at Gaines- ville, the Rangers played Santa Claus and as a result suffered a heart-breaking defeat at the hands of the Gainesville Leopards 18-7. In the first half neither team was able to score. The entire first half was played in the ? TRI-CAPTAIN E. BIASATTI WM .,::E:E-J ': 'N ,Wwe -. We-a.,,ww ' , ' TRI-CAP'rA1N BILL EWEN TRI-CAPTAIN F. RENFROE Leopard's end of the field and the Ranger eleven was in scoring position five times but cou1dn't push across a single touchdown. The second half was a different story. The Rangers kicked off to Gainesville and the Leopards drove for a touchdown on two pass plays. They failed to convert. In the next few minutes Jesuit retaliated with a sustained drive climaxed when Jim O'Reilly plunged over from the two-yard line. Magner then added what seemed to be the game-winning point and the Rangers were ahead 7-6 with but four minutes left in the game. But these four minutes spelled defeat for the Rangers for in that short time the Gaines- ville eleven capitalized on breaks to score two lightning-quick touchdowns and win the game 18-7. IESUIT 6. NORTH DALLAS 14 Again the Rangers met with bad luck and lack of scoring punch in losing a closely con- tested game to the North Dallas Bulldogs 14-6 at Dal-Hi Stadium. Although the Rangers drove inside the North Dallas 20-yard line four times in the first half, they were unable to cash in and the half ended in a scoreless deadlock. Late in the third period the Rangers finally broke the ice with a 19-yard touchdown pass from the arm of Bill Ewen to End Neil O'Brien. Magner's try for the extra point was wide and the score stood Jesuit 6 and North Dallas 0. Early in the final period the Bulldogs scored on an 18-yard scamper around end by Talbot. Prewitt then converted and North Dallas went ahead 7-6. The Bulldogs then kicked off to Jesuit and after three plays the Rangers were forced to kick and Talbot took the ball on his own 40 and raced down the sidelines for the second Bulldog tally. Prewitt then added his second point after touchdown and ended the scoring, leaving the score at 14-6 in favor of North Dallas. IESUIT 0, FOREST 7 In a bitterly contested game at The Cotton Bowl, the Rangers lost another one of those heartbreakers 7-0 to the Forest High Lions. In the first half the Jesuit eleven completely outplayed Forest but as in previous games lacked scoring punch. Altogether in the first half the Rangers exactly doubled Forest in every department of the statistics. In the second quarter the Rangers, on a sustained drive, reached the Lion 1-yard line but were unable to score. The second half began in a scoreless dead- lock but this was short lived as Forest took the kickoff and drove 60 yards on two pass plays 50 for a touchdown and then converted to leave the score at 7-0 in favor of Forest. This was the end of the scoring. In the waning seconds of the game the Ran- gers made their final bid for a tie when Victor Gallerano blocked a punt and recovered on the Forest 5. Magner then threw a short pass that was intercepted on the goal line as the game ended. lESI11T 21. McKINNEY 19 The Jesuit fans will long remember the 1948 Jesuit-McKinney game in which a last minute 47-yard pass from Bill Ewen to Paul Ruwaldt gave the Rangers a sweet 21-19 vic- tory over McKinney. The Lions looked as if they were going to get their fourth straight win of the season as they took the opening kickoff and marched 60 yards to pay dirt with Quarterback Ledbetter going over. Again in the second period the Lions scored and it looked as if they would tum the game into a rout. The half ended with the Rangers trailing 12-0. The Rangers kicked off to McKinney again, as they had had their choice of receiving or kicking in the initial period, and the Lions again took the pigskin and drove for another tally and then converted and the Rangers then trailed 19-0. Late in the third period, Gino Biasatti broke through the center of the McKinney team and powered his way over from the 30-yard line. Then Bill Ewen, who had thrown only two passes in the first half unleashed a vicious passing attack that netted seven out of twelve and 126 yards. The Rangers pushed to the Lion 3, only to receive a penalty back to the 8 from where Ewen flipped a short pass to Paul Ruwaldt who went over standing up. Larry Magner then added his second of three very important conversions. With less than a minute to play Ewen threw a long pass to Ruwaldt who again went over untouched. It was a great game and this time the Rangers found their scoring punch. IESUIT 33. ST. EDWARDS 7 Having found their scoring punch in the previous game with McKinney, the Rangers unleashed a powerful attack to handily defeat St. Edward's Tigers of Austin 33-7 at High- lander Field. After but three minutes of play the Rangers scored when Gino Biasatti powered his way over from the St. Ed's 45-yard line. A few moments later the Rangers fumbled and the Tigers recovered on the Ranger 7. From here Myers dashed around end for the score and 51 CO-CAPTAIN G. BIASATTI CO-CAPTAIN Boa RETTMAN Dunnigan then converted to give the Tigers a short lived 7-6 advantage. The Rangers then started working like a well-oiled machine, scoring at will and keep- ing their goal line uncrossed for the remainder of the game. The Ranger subs took over in the last half and kept the Ranger attack as well as defense up as well as the first stringers had done. The final score was 33-7 in favor of Jesuit. IESUIT 25, LANERI 0 In the next to last game of the season the Rangers chalked up an impressive win over Laneri High of Fort Worth, 25-0, on the soggy turf at Highlander Field. The Rangers scored on the third play from scrimmage with a screen pass from Bill Ewen to Gino Biasatti, who ran 61 yards behind a wedge of blockers. The second touchdown was set up on a blocked punt by Gino Biasatti on the Laneri 11-yard line, from where Bill Ewen heaved to Billy Walsh for the score. 5 The third Ranger tally came in the second period when Gino Biasatti exploded through the entire Laneri eleven for 21 yards and his second touchdown. There was no scoring in the third period and the final marker was added in the fourth period when Dick Whetzle threaded the side line for 58 yards and six points. Besides this outstanding run by Whetzle, he also ran up a spectacular punting average on a soggy field, of 43 yards per punt. An added highlight of this, the homecoming game, was the half-time festivities at which the crowning of the Queens took place. The Queens and their player escorts were Anne Horak with Bill Ewen, Joan Nowell with Bill Walsh, and Betty Brannin with Mark Tolle. After the game there was a gala homecom- ing dance honoring the football team. IESUIT 12, SULPHUR 'SPRINGS 7 Sparked by the fine passing of Bill Ewen and the brilliant running of little Johnny O'Brien, the Jesuit Rangers rallied in the fourth period to defeat Sulphur Springs 12-7, at Sulphur Springs, and complete the most successful season in the school's history. In the opening minutes of the game, Jesuit recovered a Wildcat fumble on the Wildcat 13- yard line but the Rangers were unable to score. Following this the Wildcats, after fail- ing to gain the necessary yardage, punted to the Ranger 7-yard line where the ball, taking a crazy bounce, touched Renfroe and was re- covered by Harry for the Wildcats. The second and third quarters were evenly fought and neither team was able to score. In the fourth period the Rangers exploded for two touchdowns and the game. The first Jesuit touchdown came on a shovel pass from Ewen to J. O'Brien, who skirted end for the final ten yards, climaxing an 80-yard drive. The game-winning marker came with less than two minutes left to play, when the Rang- ers started a touchdown drive on their own 10- yard line. Two long runs, one for 24 yards by Dick Willding and the other a beautiful 40- yard sprint down the sidelines by Johnny O'Brien, set the ball in scoring position on the Sulphur Springs 1-yard line, from where Will- ding carried over. BANQUET AT BAKER The Dads' Club sponsored Athletic Banquet was held on December 9th in the Crystal Ball Room of the Baker Hotel. Guest speaker for the occasion was Mr. Gomer Jones, former Ohio State All-American center and present line coach at Oklahoma University. Besides giving a fine speech, he showed movies of the Oklahoma-Texas game. The highlight of the evening was the oiiicial awarding of Varsity letters to the following: Tri-captains Edo Biasatti, Bill Ewen, and Francis Renfroe, team members: Neil O'Brien, Johnny O'Brien, Bill Walsh, Lupe Quevedo, Richard Ellis, Mark Tolle, Steve McDermott, J. D. Roberts, Larry Magner, Dick Willding, Jim O'Reilly, Dick Whetzle, Eddie Joseph, Joe Lostetter, and Paul Ruwaldtg Co-captains elect: Gino Biasatti and Bob Rettmang and to Senior Student Manager Lelon Beckham. x' .

X X During the past football season Jesuit could well boast of a corps of classy cheerleaders. Directed by Mr. Staub, SJ., headed by Stanley Martin and Jerry Lastelick, highlighted by Jamile Ashmore, adorned by Nancy Martin, Jeanine Clark, and Gloria Owens, and comple- mented by Bill Evans and Phil Hanley, they were able to thrill spec- tators at will and draw yells and enthusiasm from even the most disinterested parts of the stands. Stanley Martin and Jerry Lastelick were Seniors and led cheers this year for the last time. Next year we will certainly miss Stanley's unceasing How of energy and Jerry's swell smile and pep.

But on closer examination! we might see that the team, under the guicii ance of Mr. Cronin and Mr. Browning, per- formed its most important job well. It devel- oped men for next year's varsity, and gave those boys who otherwise would not have been able to play, a chance to show their stuff. In the first four games which they lost, they were merely gaining experience, which they un- leashed on T. C. D. to the tune of a 34-18 lash- ing. Had they had a regular season of nine or ten games, we could well have expected four or more victories, but since they didn't, we should well be satisfied with what they did do. In the opener against Grand Prairie, they lost a close one, 6-0. In their next encounter, the Rangers scored twice against Adamson, but came out on the short end of a 33-13 score. Jesuit then lost two straight to Highland Park 14-6, both scores. Of course their lone victory was over T. C. D. That's where they received their experience, and the ones who received the most were: Linesmen Faber, Musso, McKean, Perry, Jack- son, and V. Brown, while C. Wasaff, Brannin, and Jim Ameel saw lots of action in the back- field. Other squadmen who showed promise were Pete Reames, Bill Cameron, Bill Mentzel and Henry Neuhoff. RCUNDBALL RECORD BREAKERS Pictured above are the members of the 1949 record breaking and making basketball team. They are, left to right, bottom row: Assistant Coach John Wall, Larry Magner, Tom Cullinan, Capt. Bill Ewen, Jerry Lastelick, Al Faber, Bob Wood, Coach Don Rossi: top row, Manager Bill Lott, Neil O'Brien, Johnny O'Brien, Richard Ellis, Jim Alderman, Eddie Joseph, Joe LaRocca, Dick Whetzle, and Dick Willding. The B members of this outfit Ccomposed usually of Neil and Johnny O'Brien, Ellis, Allderman, and Willdingj have a season record of 10 games won and only one loss. The rest of the group composed the famous varsity which went on for nineteen consecu- tive victories and piled up a season record of twenty-two wins out of twenty-live games. The '49 edition of the Jesuit High School Basketball team broke two previous school records by winning 2 1 consecutive games, bet- tering the previous record of 13 by 8 games. They also had a season record of 22 wins in 25 games. The other record shattered by the '49 Rangers was the previous high score for any single game-65 points-which they bet- tered by 5 points by scoring 70 in the first Sherman game. Now for a word about'the individuals who composed this history-making quintet. First we have Bill Ewen, 6'2 Senior letter- man and captain who was equally good at cen- ter and forward. He was the power on the back- board and did more than his share of scoring. Jerry Lastelick, 6' Senior letterman and for- ward, was an accurate shot and a ball hawk on defense. He was the only other Senior on the team besides Bill Ewen. Al Faber, 5'10 guard, was the high scorer of the Ranger quint. He is equally accurate with his right or left hand. Al was: also elected captain for next year's team. Bob Wood turned in some nice perform- ances at center during the past year, his first on the team. He worked himself into the start- ing five and will be a mainstay on next year's quint. Another guard, Larry Magner, 5'9 Soph- omore letterman, played a good defensive game and chipped in his share of the points. We expect great things of Larry in his remain- ing two years at Jesuit. The tallest man on the team was Tom Culli- nan, 6'4 Junior forward, who also played cen- ter. Tom used his height to great advantage on the backboards and is expected to be the re- bound mainstay on next year's team. Next we have two hustling guards, first of whom is Ed Joseph, 5'9 Junior, who played a great deal of ball because of his line ball han- dling. We all look for Ed to do great things next year. And last, but not least, comes that hustling blond guard, Dick Whetzle, 5'8 Soph- omore letterman. Dick earned a letter as a Freshman and is a fine player both offensively and defensively. The hard-working manager, Bill Lott, Cer- tainly should get some applause. It was through his efforts that the team had clean uni- forms every game. The Rangers opened the season with two victories over Garland, 36-30 and 50-25.

In the second round the Rangers lost to Crozier Tech, 41-27, but this was the Rangers' last loss for a long time to come. Starting with Pleasant Grove, the Rangers won 22 games in a row with victories over N. T. H. S., Plano, Waxahachie, Laneri, Azle, Birdville, Slidell, Mesquite, Sherman, St. Jo- seph and Kirwin. In the middle of the season the Rangers won the hardly contested N. T. H. S. Invitational Tournament when they defeated Slidell in the thrilling final game 38-37. To wind up the season the Rangers entered the State Catholic Tournament and won their first two games against St. Joseph, 63-29, and Kirwin, 51-46. In their next game the wear of 23 games began to show on the Rangers and they dropped a close one to Price, 47-40. SEASON SUMMARY OPPONENT JES. OPP.

They, too, had one of their greatest sea- sons since the school began, in winning ten out of their eleven contests. Their only defeat was at the hands of Sherman, whom they defeated at a later date to even up accounts. The B team defeated Laneri once, and Pleasant Grove, Garland, Plano, Waxahachie twice each. The mainstays of this powerful quintet were Joe LaRocca, Dick Willding and Neil O'Brien, all of whom saw some service on the varsity squad, Richard Ellis, Jim Alderman, Johnny O'Brien and Phil Hanley. Joe LaRocca made the trip to San Antonio with the varsity. Dick Willding led the team in scoring with 88 points. He was a line ball handler and also a great ball hawk. He was very fast, and led many of the fast breaks. Joe LaRocca was, perhaps, the best all- around player. He was smooth and agile. He did some line work under the backboards, and displayed a very fine hook shot. Neil O'Brien was mostly a defensive player although he was second on the team in scor- ing. His best work came under the backboards taking the rebounds. Richard Ellis did some very line work under the backboards with Joe and Neil, but his best weapon, and 'most noted art was his line ball handling. Jim Alderman played guard, and did a lot of the long shooting for the team. He has a good eye. Johnny O'Brien was another of the guards. He was the fastest man on the team, and was often seen dribbling through a horde of enemy players for a crip shot. Phil Hanley was the third guard on the team. He was the most consistent player the Bees had, and could always be depended upon. All the players from the B team will be back next year, and many of their faces should be appearing a good bit on the court. The Bees can well boast a good team in that they had the best average of any team ever to play for Jesuit High School. IUNIOR BASKETBALL Full of Leahyism',-for you, my dear reader, a coined word for pessimism-Mr. Staub, S.J., looked at his new hardwood charges and remembered his A.A.U. Champs of last year. Looking at the small ones, the fat ones, and the thin ones, he slowly turned to the manager and asked for a ball . . . Now, this is a basketball, and that thirteen-inch hole is its bed . . . And the optimistic squad was on its way. Despite the contrast with last year's classy outfit, the Little Rangers did manage to turn in a fairly successful season winning eight and losing twelve. Mad-Dribbler' Daboub sparked the team and led them with his fancy dribbling and shooting. He was high scorer of the season with over 170 points accounted for and was also chosen on the A.A.U. all-star team. Starting off slowly but coming up fast, was Bubba Brannin who turned into a pretty smooth player before the season was over. Bobby Dean and Wes Jaska dominated the backboards in most games and were to a great extent responsible for lots of the feeding. Lefty Wasaff became quite adept at putting the ball to sleep, as did alternate forward Jim Clem. Keep these names in mind as well as those of Billy McCarthy, Bob Flood, Paul Peters and Billy and Bobby Adams for future basketball years because it will be they who will keep alive the Big Ranger records. The Junior Team did accomplish its main and most im- portant objective-to prepare future varsity players.

LEGION REVIEW 4 Left to tight, standing: Coach Don Rossi, Tom Cullinan, Neil O'Brien, Lupe Quevedo, Bill Ewen, Mike Brown' Sakai. .fy Sig! wif-in 1 seated: Jerry Lastelick, Dick Willding, Dick Whetzle, Larry Magner, and Joe Lostetter. A team that can go through a season Cin this case a Legion seasonj with a batting average of only .097 and stilfl survive as a seconpl place team with six victories out of seven starts, has something of the unusual about it. The American Legion team of Jesuit of the season of '48 can therefore well be classed as a very unusual team. Defensively they were magnifi- cent, but offensively they were a bit odd. Al- most every hit they got was a clutch hit. Very few of them were wasted. Bill Ewen led the team. He had seventy- three strikeouts in seven games, and never once lost control. Against North Dallas he struck out three men with the bases loaded. Against Forest, with two out in the last half of the seventh, and behind by a run, Bill started a rally that didn't end until three runs were scored. Dick Willding, his battery mate, kept the team alive with his constant fire. He was al- ways on his toes behind the plate, and made several nice catches of pop-ups. He was chosen along with Bill, Larry Magner, and Dick Whet- zle for the American Legion All-Stars. Larry Magner, filling in the post at third base, was a great defensive man, and one of the better ones. with the stick. Dick Whetzle was one of the best defensive men on the team. For his fine work he was given a silver baseball and the short-stop post on the all-star team. Jerome Lastelick, Neil O'Brien, Tom Cul- linan, Lupe Quevedo, Joe Lostetter, Pierre Duval, Al Faber and Gino Biasatti rounded out the squad. With the exception of Lupe Quevedo and Bill Ewen, the entire squad will be back for the '49 Legion season. FORETELLING THE FUTURE - ., ,,,,,,,,. ... Left to right, standing: Coach Don Rossi, Cullinan, N. O'Brien, Quevedo, Ewen, M. Brown, Woodg seated: Man- ager Vance, Lastelick, Ruwaldt, Willding, Whetzle, Magner, J. Lostetter, LaRocca, Manager O'Hearn, Manager Schleicher, Manager Alexander. My Crystal-balling lA got me another job. Either that or the fact that I am still a F reshmang and Freshman necks arenlt worth much. At any rate I have been asked to stick mine out again by predicting the future of our baseball season. Thanks to a splendid teacher Qthat should get me safely into the Sophomore bracket for one course anywayj, I learned from my history class that one can best predict the future by a careful study of the past. With that principle in mind, I predict definitely, a championship nine for '49, Let's look at the past. Five games played, five games won. Forest Lions bearded in their own den, 2-Og Waxahachie rounded up twice, 6-3 and 7-25 Denton downed, 13-69 Arlington Heights lowered, 10-1. Those are the events. Now, let's look at the leaders-always an important factor in his- tory-making. First, we have our fire-ball artist, Bill Ewen, who has a no-hitter to his credit against Forest and who pocketed Arlington Heights with but one scratch hit. Second on the twirling staff is Dick Whetzle, who likewise has a thousand per cent, with two wins and no losses, and don't forget that, when he isn't pitching, Dick is an all-star shortstop. Round- ing out the perfect pitching staff is Paul Ru- waldt, who is possibly the most versatile man on the squad. Besides pitching, Paul catches and plays third or the outfield equally well. For the rest of the infield we have all-stars Larry Magner and Dick Willding, along with seasoned veterans Neil O'Brien, Mike Brown and Jerry Lastelick. In the outfield we also have veterans in Lupe Quevedo and J oe Los- tetter as well as good reserves in Bob Wood and Tom Cullinan. Sure, I'll predict a championship nine for '49, and I don't think I'm sticking my neck out too far either. BASEBALL BOOMS AT IESUIT Members of the first Jesuit B-team are pictured above. Left to right, top row: Mr. E. J. Staub, S.J., Coach, Joseph, Alderman, Duval, Ellis, DeHaes, Peters, J. D. Roberts, Cox, bottom row: LaRocca, Machann, Miranda, Gallerano, Lostetter, Adams, Weed, Finegan, Jennings, Manager Joe Grissafii. The baseball enthusiasm engendered by Mr. Staub three years ago and heightened by the advent of Mr. Rossi for the '48 Legion season has reached a fever pitch on the campus here this year. Not only do we have a varsity that can hold its own with the best teams in the state but we have had so many promising lads out for baseball this year that, for the first time in its history Jesuit has organized a B-team in baseball. Under the direction of Mr. Staub, the team has been improving rapidly from day to day and game to game. As we go to press their rec- ord is two losses and one victory. They lost their opener to Sunset, 10-5, displayed im- provement as they were eked out by Forest, 10-75 and demonstrated still more improve- ment as they came back a few days later' to sting the North Dallas Bulldogs, 9-2. The For- est game was highlighted by circuit clouts on the part of Joe Machann and Louis DeHaes, while the North Dallas game was sparked by the all-around ability of Harold Munchrath who allowed the Bulldogs but six hits, while fanning eleven and collecting three hits him- self out of four trips to the plate. Besides Munchrath the twirling staffs con- sists of Joe LaRocca and George Jennings, both of whom show much future promise. The heavy duties behind the plate are well handled by J. D. Roberts, while the rest of the infield is usually completed by Billy Cox, Joe Mac- hann and Eddie Joseph. Regularly roaming the far pastures at present are Dick Ellis, Jim Alderman and Louis DeHaes. These boys and the rest pictured above are certainly receiving good training and experience which will stand them in good stead for the coming Legion sea- son and next year's regular season. No doubt, many of them by that time will be sporting varsity uniforms. ,Q MUIIGE IHL LOYOLA UNIVERSITY NEW ORLEANS, LA.
