They come from o'er the city, joined in the great common denominator of St. John's, learning with one mind, one purpose: to do iustly, to walk humbly with my God. Hear and see, then-the majestic story of a year at St. John's. THE DEMUCHACY i 1 UUAHDIA S. . . LE DHHS. Below, His Excellency, Archbishop O'Boyle, flanked by One hundred and three years ago, the Arch- bishop of Baltimore and Washington invited the Christian Brothers to establish a college for young men in the nation's capital. Since that time, St. John's College has maintained a record of service to the Archdiocese, and since that time, St. John's has counted among its warmest friends the hierarchy of Washington. His Excellency, the Most Reverend Archbishop Patrick I0'Boyle, D.D., became Spiritual Shepherd of Was ington in l948. His xcellency received his college education at the Christian Brothers' college in Scranton and hc is the only American Ordinary who wears a relic ol SI.

Religion, Trigonometry, Geometry Religion, Spanish Grounded upon the historic traditions of their gloried past, the Brothers of the Christian Schools are, at St. John's, actively cultivating the future for their country, their students and their God. The story of powerful sacrifice and austere living in the interest of the education of youth is the heritage of the Christian Brothers. Venerated as the Universal Patron of All Teachers, St. John Baptist de LaSalle founded the order in France in the seventeenth century-but more than this, he charged the Brothers with the task of revolutionizing the world of infused knowledge according to his philosophy of education. But, to the student of St. John's, the Brother is much more than an intellectual being as he is a counselor, a leader and, above all, a friend . . . and the St. John's Graduate, no matter what fortune life may bring, no matter how far he will travel from the beginnings of his manhood, will carry with him some indelibIe.character that forever .distinguishes him ds a Brother's boy.

' ---' 1 F 1 9 'S 'x 'H 'MQ as Developing in each student an acute sense of duty and leadership, the Cadet Corps of St. John's College is designed to build citizens loyal to the principles of free government-and soldiers loyal to American democracy. A radical departure from the traditional military school, St. John's has maintained its corps since 1917 on a day-school basis. Under the supervision of the Depart- ment of the Army, the SJC military branch is controlled by members of the faculty who delegate their power to Cadet olticers appointed from among the members of the senior class. ln the classroom, in courses taught by the Profes- sor of Military Science and Tactics, and on the drill field, every Cadet comes to know the value St. .lohn's places upon courage, duty, Ioyaltyfto all those things that make a soldier and a man. SULDIEIIS With the great spiritual and moral truths which form the bulk of the Christian faith as its focal point, the course of study at St. John's prepares the Cadet to face the problems of life with an enlightened intellect and a determined will. As a freshman and sophomore, the Cadet pays special attention to the study of mathematics and English-one to enable him to arrive at sound conclusions more rapidly, the other enables him to express his thoughts clearly. Under the combined classical-scientific course, the Cadet in his iunior and senior years is permitted to choose a foreign language and elect to study either science or an additional classical language, both of which will qualify him for college work. Whether he immediately enters a career in the world or goes on to college, the Cadet has taken from St. John's perhaps his most important possession: a strong belief in the way and the truth which is the Catholic Church.

Al Not the least part of a Johnnie's edu- cation is the number of social events to which he is subiected or treated, de- pending upon individual tastes, during the school year. Ranging from formal balls to football parties, the Cadets are afforded ample opportunities to develop social graces in measure equal to their mental and spiritual development. The highlights of the year are formals like the Regimental and Mothers' Club Balls and the Proms, but contrasting sharply from the full dress affairs are the in- formal Sabre dances sponsored twice each quarter. And tripping the light, fantastic toe is not the Johnnies' only chance to meet socially. Past seasons have found many a Cadet and his date cheering the Scarlet and Gray to another championship.

'V'- oc Although not as physically powerful as last year's undefeated city champs, the Johnnies fielded a scrappy eleven that would make the most pessimistic coach burn all his crying towels. Featuring speed, mobility, striking power by land and air, and an impregnable defense, the Cadets camelup with a 9-2 slate, losing only to Calvert Hall in an upset and to the undefeated Tigers of Wilson for the city title. Led by Ralph Brother Frye, the smooth-running St. John's football machine opened the season by crushing Roosevelt, 26-6. Frye maneuvered 29 yards for one touchdown and set up another on a 49-yard gallop. After a scoreless first half, the Johnnies halted George Washington's ground attack and defeated the Presidents, 14-O. Bob Rusevlyan passed to Ralph Hawkins for one touchdown and on an end sweep tallied the clincher. Traveling to Philadelphia, the Cadets easily routed Malvern Prep, 33-O. t Sparked by the quarterbacking of Rusevlyan and the versatile running of Frye, Jim Clark, and Jim Kane, the Cadets walloped highly regarded North- western, 32-6. St. John's 14-game winning streak was snapped by Calvert Hall of Baltimore as the Cardinals upset the Johnnies, 13-6. The loss brought out the potentialities of Bob Kelly who passed to Clark for the lone tally. Capitalizing on two Washington-Lee fumbles, the Cadets turned back the hard-hitting Little Generals, 14-7. Frye and Hawkins accounted for the scores. St. John's iolted Bladensburg's hopes of a perfect season as they whipped the Mustangs, 20-6. Trailing 6-0 in the second period Dave Shannon completed a 45-yard end-around pass to Joe Mills to tie the score. Rusevlyan registered the other 13 points. Behind the offensive capacities of Paul Caporaletti and Johnny Stoneburner, the Johnnies opened the defense of their Catholic title by smothering DeMatha, 32-O. With Kelly and Rusevlyan each accounting for two touchdowns, the Cadets whipped Georgetown Prep, 32-7. You'll have a hard time finding a better backfield in the city than the starting Johnnie quartet of Frye, Rusevlyan, Kelly, and Clark. Stocked with pulverizing power, the line composed of center Carl Sapienza, guards Franny Maloney, Greg Fennell, and George Mandes, tackles Frank Harding and Mike McMahon, and ends Hawkins and Mills on offense and Shannon and Al Burch on defense, threw key blocks and halted many a goalward march. Speaking of relief talent, there were backs Caporaletti, Stoneburner, Kane, and Phil Mudd and linemen Stan Wilson, Cartan Kraft, Dick G ff a ney, and Bubba Healy.

Against the heavier and more experienced eleven the Junior Varsity was beaten by three quick scores in the last quarter, 'I9-0. -The only two wins of the season came in games with Georgetown Prep and Wilson. The little Hoyas fell prey to the stalwart defensive play of the Cadet line and were unable to stop the determined running attack directed by Coach Mclindon. The Cadets played their best game of the season against the Green Tigers of Wilson. The defensive prowess of both squads shone during the fracas, however the Scarlet and Gray amassed one drive sparked by the hard running of Ralph Delalla and Jim Baden, both freshmen, which resulted in thc only score of the game. The Cadets were victorious by a 7-0 score. The J.V. was less successful in its meetings with John Carroll and Calvert Hall. The scores were l3-6 and 13-0, respectively. Row l: F.

The 1952 J.V., a hustling, tireless team, under the direction nf Brother Matthew, moderator, and Jim Ricca and Bob Mclindon, coaches, displayed eagerness and the desire to learn throughout the season. The coaches are confident that their high spirit and persevering efforts will be an asset to the Varsity in seasons to come. s n A.. ' . ?r . A, if fi. A S :.- s ' .. , ?x .. ' ' 1 f . il .T ' f .

With this flurry the Cadets rallied and in a hard driving finish defeated Gonzaga, 55-46.

Ending the season with a record of eight wins and six setbacks, the Cadets nevertheless won five and lost two in Catholic League play and snagged their first baseball title. A maior role in the Johnnie victory was played by Brother Frye, who played the game with an iniured finger. In the eighth inning after removing the splint from his finger, Brother singled through the box to score Frank Tropea with the win- ning run. Another big hero for the Cadets was pitcher Don Thompson who avenged an earlier loss to Gonzaga and proved himself one of the area's top hurlers. Coach Billy Blake praised the entire team for their will to win which carried them to the championship after two early season defeats.

Designed to allow each student space enough and time enough to settle his account with his Maker, the Manresa retreat centered about religious activities, including sermons, conferences, spiritual reading, daily Mass and prayers-in-common. Two groups of seniors made the retreat, the first leaving St. .lohn's May 4 and the second a week later.
