St. Benedict, founder of the Benedictine Order, and St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan Urder, had both breathed their first in this hallowed province. Umbria also has been named as the place of birtl1 of eight of the many Saints of the Order of St. Augusf . 1' yHJT -r:v n'if1FTT , ' -75 fY 5' iff'w .f f - -- ., .. 11912211 . ff- 'K -5. -..f 'fu' l'lH , l-sith -.

The people of Cascia, quite like the the people of the whole of Umbria, were a zealous lot. lt would be safe to say that there were no irreligious, for it was here that the faith had encircled all. In the hamlet of Rocca Porrena, there lived a couple whose faith and piety was unequaled even in pious Umbria. Throughout their long married life, they had prayed so that God would bless tl1eir childless marriage. Many years had passed when-in the humble, peasant-like cottage of Amata and Antonio Mancini - an angel appeared to inform the pious Amata that she would be blessed with a daughter of great sanc- tity, deigned by God to be the Saint of the lm- possible. Saturday, May 22, 1381, witnessed the birth of the first-born of the Page 4 l'amilv ol' Mancini, announced and commanded in the vision to be baptized RITA. Yirtuous even at her earlv affe Rita was verv much unlike the other children 1 , n 1 4 , ol' Rocca Porrena. Though she did not join them in their madrigals and games, they all loved her, for they knew, with childlike understanding, that she loved them all. At the age ol' twelve. Rita, having spoken with God for many days, had the desire of becoming a nun deeply imbedded in her heart. Rita's parents, upon hearing ot' her desires, were indeed sad to find that their daughter's choice was not the same t as theirs. Amata and An- 'tonio, thinking only ot' their daughter, believed l that Rita should marry. p No one, save a few, has ever been able to fully comprehend the ex- treme mental anguish ot' Rita when she was told their wishes. Rita had hoped to consecrate her entire life to God. lilo! t K, M ,, quently, the couple told Rita that after their death she would have no one ' Q looking after her. Her lovaltv and obedience to her parents was tried at .' that time much more than before. F L Knowing that the will ot' her parents , was trulv the will ol' God, Rita con- sented. t Rita's marents lnadc their choice -' -il for Rita's husband. The son ol' a Page 5 wealthy merchant, Ferdinando, was the handsome groom of the beautiful bride, Rita. Patience and humility were ever present in the early years of her marriage, which were years of cruelty. It was these same virtues which converted her hus- band. It was only after this conversion from the wicked man to the respectful husband, however, that their marriage was blessed by offspring. After the violent death ot' her husband - he had been stabbed to death by l1is enemies--her two sons, who were now reaching manhood, had wanted to avenge the action. Through the intercession of God, both sons died within a year's time! Rita had sacrificed the last of her family on earth. Being both widow and orphan, Rita prayed faithfully, telling God of her wish to become a nun. Because ot' the fact that at that time only young girls were per- mitted to join tl1e Augustinian Institute, and also because no widows were ever granted the special dispensation needed--Rita was refused entrance into the Madda- lena Convent as a nun. After the first disheartening failure, Rita prayed for another chance to enter the convent. It was during an engagement of prayer that Rita had heard someone call Rita! Rita! Opening the shutter of her window, she saw no one. Continuing her prayers, Rita again heard the voice. It told her to fear not and that she would be admitted into the convent. It was at this time that Rita placed herself into a profound communion with God and beheld St. John the Baptist, St. Nicholas of Tolentine, and St. Augustine. After the voice of Jesus had bidden her to come to the Convent, Rita woke and went to the door. In the doorway stood St. John, who guided her to the Y P ,., 5 I' I' -Y---- V -- Y --,- . . .--.. ,W Pge6 meeting of Saints Augustine and Nicholas. lt was this Saintly trio that told her The impossible is overeome in your behalf and took her into the eloister of the eon- vent at Ntaddalena. l'pon finding her the next morning, the superioress and nuns welcomed her into the community after she related the forenighl's happenings to them. ller wish had been realized and she beeame a melnber of the great Order of St. Augustine after she had made her solemn professional vows. The same obedienee, which she had so eom- pletely given her parents and husband previously, was ever present to her religious superiors. Une of her earliest miraeles was the result of this vir- tue. To prove tiila's obe- dience, the superioress eommanded her to water a plant that had withered e and died. After a few f- -..v.,,,.a,, , K, p months, the plant had again taken leaf, and where the dead plant had onee before withered, it had bloomed into the most beautiful flower in the Maddalena Con- vent Garden. lleing pitiless with herself, Rita ob- l served the vow of poverty to a superlative 1 degree. Before she had taken her solemn vows, Rita had distributed all of her temporal wealth to those in need. 'I'hrough- out her entire life as a nun, Rita had worn the same habit she had reeeived upon entering the Order. Her vow of ehastity was militantly guarded, also.

L . lire lil'e, liila had forever' This wound remained so offensive that she was soon confined to her room. The wound was as miraculously healed for one season, as it had so miraculously penetrated the skin and bone of her head. The year of 1450 had been proclaimed -as this present year has, five centuries later - a Jubilee Year. In want of the graces given by the Church, Rita asked for permission to journey with other nuns. The su erioress immediately ave her ermission when the miracle of the cure oc- u nv 'K p curred, and Rita accompanied the nuns to Rome. She was overjoyed with returning to the Convent, and as she crossed the threshold of the cloister, the wound returned! It was four years after her pilgrimage to Rome that the fever had so violently overtaken her. During these agony-filled days, a cousin froln her native city visited her. St. Rita asked her cousin: Bring me a rose from the garden of my old home in Rocca Porrena. .lourneying back through the .January cold, believing that the impossible could not be, the cousin found a rose in full bloom on a sapless bush. In the same month of January, St. Rita asked her cousin for two figs which she would find on the leafless tree in the garden of tl1e convent. Thoroughly believing her, the cousin rushed to look for the figs, which were found, as St. Rita said, on the tree in the garden. VVith these last two miracles, St. Rita of Cascia had known her death was steadi- ly approaching. Only four months later, on May 22, 1457, St. Rita was welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven. After seventy-six years of superlative holiness on earth, St. Rita reaped her final reward. Let friends of St. Rita hail May 22, as a signal day in their future lives, and let them designate as important in their present lives May 24. For it was on this day, fifty years ago, that Blessed Rita was proclaimed by Pope Leo XIII, to be hon- ored, publicly and privately, by the Universal Church, as a Saint. Evviva Santa Rita da Cascia-Hail Saint Rita of Cascia! I J -r r - ' 'V .awww Page 9 THE SYMBOLISM OF SAINT RITA AND SAINT AUGUSTINE The use of the symbol is so common that everyone is familiar with it. The Stars and Stripes as the symbol for one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, and the ring as the symbol of marital love and fidelity, are known almost to everyone. The symbols of the seal of St. Rita High School have come under the eye of all its graduates, but perhaps their meanings are not too clear, These symbols are eye-words that appeal to the mind and heart by their wealth of meaning. They constitute the story behind the story of St. Rita High School, for they blend nicely the events of the lives of two great Saints, Augustine, the Founder of the Augustinian Order, and Rita, the great Patroness of the School. The center portion of the seal represents the various figures of St. Augustine. The heart burning and pierced with an arrow is symbolic of his great love for God. The crozier, cross, and mitre denote his Episcopal office. The cincture is part of the Augustinian habit, it having been given originally to St. Augustine's Mother, St. Monica, by Mary the Moth- er of God. The book is symbolic of the writings of St. Augustine and is particularly apro- pos in the seal of the School since a book in Christian symbolism has been connected with the office of teaching. The inscription Tolle lege! Tolle lege! calls to mind the time Saint Augustine was praying for the light and heard the voice of the Angel repeating these unforgettable words: Take and read! Take and read! For in following such advice he opened the letters of St. Paul and read: Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ. lRomans Xlll, l3, l4J.

Fink has served St. Rita colossally like a wonder of the modern world. The Faculty and Student body have been aug- mented to keep abreast with his ever-expanding building program. Among his myriad projects we name the Technical School and Building, the Egan Hall Annex, the Stadium, the million dollar deluxe Monastery, and recognition extraordinary by the North Central Association and the Uni- versity of Illinois. His Herculean achievements are still on the march, and our great Rector will continue to elevate St. Rita to even greater heights. He bears the hallmark of Dun and Brad- street. VERY REVER'ElND R. P. FINK, O.S.A., M.S., D.Sc. RECTOR Page l6 REV. JAMES J. SINNOTT, O.S.A. Director of Studies Rev. James J. Sinnott, O.S.A. Director of Studies Fr. Sinnott has given St. Rita six years of progressive leader- ship in the field of education. The magnitude of his office, with a Faculty of 60 teachers and l,65O students, is stupendous. His knowledge of modern tech- niques and psychological rela- tionships has made his regency eminently successful. He has won a legion of friends as Moderator of the Senior Class, the Senior Prom, and Professor of Sociology. The Cascian knows his value to St. Rita and wishes to sing his praises highly to the scores of readers who will peruse its chron- icle pages. Reverend Joseph A. Coyne, O.S.A. Dean of Technology ln this wonderful age of atomic energy, tele- vision, and radar, it is fitting that our radioactive Fr. Coyne is serving as Dean of our Technical School. Father has kept our Tech Department mod- ern, and its existence has aided materially in sus- taining St. Rita in the forefront of secondary edu- cation. That Fr. Coyne must be held in the highest esteem by all friends of our School is best certified by casting an appraising eye on his achievements as Dean, Student Counsellor, Teacher of Physics, Definitor, Moderator of the Alumni, and Promo- tionist of the beautiful Father Green Memorial Chapel. The Cascian is proud to present Fr. Coyne to a host of St. Rita Friends everywhere. Reverend Francis Crawford, O.S.A. Student Counsellor ln this era of platoon education and canteen- teen-theories in domestic and educational psycho- logy, problems in student-counselling have been multiplied rather than ratio-diminished. Fathers Crawford, Lawlor, l-lorne, and Thomas have utilized the traditional Catholic philosophy to overcome the disciplinary difficulties encountered in everyday high-school life. That they have met these problems with paternal success is attested by the wonderful response from the St. Rita student body toward co- operation with teacher and administration. The record of our four Counsellors is a brilliant triumph for their techniques in mastering the doubts, dif- ficulties, and problems created by the complexity and technology of modern life, Reverend Vincent J. Meaniey, O.S.A. School Procurator Very few people at St. Rita know Fr. Meaney, our School Procurator, Those who know Father and what he does, Xevaluate him as one who plans and works but hears no roars of the crowds. Fr. Meaney has full responsibility for the smooth physical oper- ation of our large school, and does the hair-thinning iob of general buying and ordering, and keeping the books of St. Rita like an ingenious C.P.A. The Cascian knows Fr. Meaney's value to our School and REVERE-ND JOSEPH A. COYNE, O.S.A. Dean of Technology REVEREIND FRANCIS CRAWFORD, O.S.A.

The St. Rita Faculty comprises an impressive and large group of clerical, professional, and techni- cal teachers who come under the scope of National, Regional, and State accrediting agencies, There- fore, they have been indoctrin- ated in the formulation and exe- cution of superior standards for education, especially education on the secondary and higher levels. The Catholic Education persist- ently inculcated by our St. Rita Teachers is destined to bring Christian health and sanity into the hearts of all our students. lt is destined to momentumize a current of our boys' souls that will run forever along the river of their minds until it comes to rest before the spire of Truth, radiant and immortal -against Materialism, transient, shallow, and eternally negated.

The St. Rita boy is conscious ot this para- mount aim from the daybreak ot freshmanhood to the twilight hour ot seniorhood. FATHER TlM'MS AND FATHER FITZMAURICE St. Rita describes a complete cycle ot spiritual phases through the scholastic year. In the inspir- ing and sublime setting of our Chapel, each student attends Mass with his class once a week, he goes to Confession and receives Holy Com- munion at least once a month, he hears instructive and practical homilies delivered by our Augustinian Fathers, he partakes of the resplendent services appropriate to each Ecclesiastical season, he makes an annual retreat to renovate and sanctify his spir- itual being, he is privileged to keep sacred vigil with the Knights ofthe Holy Eucharist, and to serve Holy Mass and gain membership in the Sanctuary Society, he contributes generously to The Propa- gation ot the Faith. BlR OT H E R E BiEiRiH AIRT ment. Chaplains The masterly execution of our Chapel exercises was compassed under the supervision of our dyna- mic Chaplains, Fathers John Fitzmaurice and John Timms, OSA., by Retreat Master Father Albert Durant, OSA., by Father Thomas O'NeiI, O.S.A., Moderator of the Sanctuary Society and Director of Vocation Week , and by every Augustinian Father at St. Rita who consecrates himself dai- ly to the comprehensive development ot the spiritual well-being of St. Rita of Cascia's l,6O0 scholars. BROTHER EBERHART Brother Eberhart has long been the complemen- tary angle pertecting our Chaplain Staff.

Your teachers, the Augustinians, are an Order of Catholic educators with a rich her- itage of traditions and experience. Their history reaches back to an illustrious founder, St. Augustine, whose profound mine formulated and gave written expression to the very foun- dations of Christian thought and culture. St. Augustine was born in the fourth century and devoted his life to the monastic ideal of nurturing and spreading Christ's way of life. For fifteen centuries the Augustinians have patterned their lives after Saint Augustine. Great saints, great scholars, great educators, great missionaries-a glorious pageant of August- inian triumphs through the centuries-these are legacy of the men who teach you at St. Rita High School. A famous scholar of our day has characterized St. Augustine as the greatest mod- ern man. He meant that after fifteen centuries St. Augustine's thought is still modern. In St. Augustine's voluminous works one finds an astonishing clarity of thought upon the vexing problems of the present. Ancient in wisdom yet up-to-date in its application! This likewise is the keynote of the Augustinian system of education. The preparation of an Augustinian for a teaching career, therefore, combines the deep wisdom of the ages with the modern, specialized training in curriculum content and method. An Augustinian is equipped to give you a thoroughly modern education. He does not attempt merely to qualify you as a high school graduate, but pre-eminently to incul- cate a plan of life and a gras-p upon its riddles. This great Order of Augustinians, inspired by St. Rita, has established St. Rita High School as the largest Catholic boy's high school west of Philadelphia.

After four years of spiritual, philosophical August- inian tutorship, the senior is well armed against the atheistic, materialistic concepts of the world. The aesthetes, intellectuals, and philoso- phers, which compose the faculty of Saint Rita, are undeniably proud of the Class of l95O. The Seniors, finally comprehending the pur- pose of their education, shall try to maintain the high Augustinian principles and standards throughout their lives.

Yet, during this historic fall, the St. Rita Seniors of the Golden Class of l95O shall have drowned their high school days with the su- preme event of graduation! At St. Rita, graduation is a milestone of incomparable solemnity, fervor, and grandeur. It is an event which blends impressively and imperishably the affinities and varieties of form and substance. The scapular of our Bless- ed Mother, the cap and gown, the inspiriting exhortations, the diploma, are objects of noble sentiments and profound inspirations. Our Shrine, the beautiful Graduation Mass, our School, our dearest friends, the Colony Thea- ter are unforgettable backgrounds which stir the minds and hearts of Graduates to heights of ecstasy.

'nfllafu T0 THE SENIORS: lFrom an Address by Doctor John Fitzmaurice, O.S.A.l During the last four years the diligent work of preparation has been sustained in your behalf. Now the goal has been attained and you are about to go forth as the products of a Catholic school educa- tion. You are now to be given the opportunity of putting into practice the lessons which you have learned here at St. Rita. Fundamentally, all education prepares a man along two lines. ln one process of education he be- comes proficient mentally and physically, that is theoretically and practically in the endeavors of material progress. Such has been the basis of pro- gress culturally from the point of views of the arts, the sciences, and the various professions and vo- cations. lt may be called the horizontal process of education. And the second form or process of edu- cation is the vertical. Here one looks to one's growth spiritually as a person endowed with a soul and existing for something beyond the present. That is called one's Religious education or, if you prefer, one's true cultural education. All cultures Very Rev. Fink, 0.S.A. assisted by Rev. Joseph Hartman, O.S.A. in distributing scapulars Page 68 Seniors and Faculty at Graduation Mass are determined by Religion, and when you place the two together you have the picture of what we Cath- olics call a complete education. It has for its symbol the Cross made up of both the horizontal bars and the vertical bars. But like all symbols it must have a basic reality which it represents. And the reality which fastens the cross together, by being fastened to the Cross, is Christ Himself. Leave the Person Christ off the Cross and you have only a couple of pieces of wood. You received here at St. Rita the individual pieces of information in your Math, Science, language, history, etc., but you received more. You know why they mean something and why they have value. They form the Cross of education held together by Christ, the Son of Eternal Wisdom. And so you now go forth with your mind, heart and soul erect, balanced and clear-visioned. To your parents and friends we now give you back. May your lives under God's blessing be a reflection of your Catholic home and Catholic school. May our loyalty to Christ, the Teacher of us all, make us blessed students of Eternal Truth, the Truth that makes us free to love and honor our God, our Coun- try, and ourselves.

Spanish, and Mathematics proved exceedingly popular. The comprehensive curricula were enjoyed with more gusto, enthusiasm, and ape plication than are ordinarily evinced during the regular school semesters.

Our Moderator, Father William Doyle, has mastered the science ot detail in the pub- lication of such a complex yearbook, and has yearly supplied the book with many inspiring conceptions. His Collaborator, Mr. William Fay, has edited all the written copy and has supplied many of the beautiful impressions in which the Opus is superabundant. Francis Tobolski, our persona grata Eclitor-in-Chief and 3-star wizard of the Staff, is a superior all--around scholar, an indetatig- able worker, and an entity on our Yearbook who will be missed as bona fide as his great 3-year stint with The Cascian on his graduation in June. Our Assistant Editor, James Wrzesinski, was our find ot the year, and he has demonstrated that his work as Editor-in-Chief in l95l will emulate the high achievements of Frank Tobolski. The all- important business details were capably admi- nistered by Raymond McLaughlin, William Gaynor, and Ed Franz. Much of the accurate typing was done by Daniel Lindsay. The Sports Section was edited by John Healy, George Rauen, and Roger Smith. Joseph Thielman was our talented Art Editor. These are the men who gave their time and talents to produce the finest Cascian in history, - the Cascian dedicated to St. Rita Herself,-in Her year of Jubilee and Jubila- tion. ll lll JOHN TOUHY KENNETH KONVALSKI ROBERT DENISON JOHN SCHMIT News Editor Feature Editor Sports Editor Business Manager Row One: Schnnit, Denison, Fr.

CASEY, O.S.A Dedication in Chapel Dedication Dinner This is an association of acolytes under the moderatorship of zealous Father Thomas O'NeilI, OSA. Father O'Neill appointed a governing committee this year to formulate and direct the many activities of the Society. This committee was sub-divided into class groups to extend and to integrate class members. An edifying feature of the Association was the serving of Holy Mass on each first Friday by seniors in the beautiful Father Green Memorial Chapel. After Mass, the Blessed Sacrament was exposed for all-day adoration. F The Sanctuary Society basketball thrillers high-lighted the sports pro- gram of our one-hundred fifty exemplary altar boys. Page 100 The Sanctuary Society N otionol H onor S ooiety l Thirty new members were inducted into the St. Rita Chapter of the National Honor Society on Monday, October l7. Fr. Raymond P. Wheeler, moderator of the Society, and six seniors who had been inducted into the Society last February, acted as welcoming committee. After the induction ceremony was concluded, refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was spent in social and recreational activity. The National Honor Society consists of approxi- mately 400 secondary schools throughout the na- tion. Membership is permitted to only ISW of the senior class of each school enrolled in the organiza- tion. ln order to become a member of the society, each candidate must measure up to conditions re- quired in scholarship and character, outstanding service to the school, and leadership in the scholar- ly, social, and athletic activities within the school. Hence, admittance to the Society is not based on scholarship alone. At graduation the seal of the Honor Society is placed on the diplomas of its members and a state- ment of membership accompanies the transcript of credits. Names of the Society's members are also recorded at Washington, D. C. On October 25, a meeting was held and plans were made for the Society's annual Halloween Party which was held on Monday, October 3l, in the school cafeteria. At this meeting the election of of- ficers was held. Fr. Wheeler and the Socitey's members had a full and successful year of activities.

The Mendel Science Club affords an opportunity for Juniors and Seniors with superior aptitudes to develop their skills through research work not pos- sible in the allotted class time. Specific advantages accruing to these specialized students are: l. Know- ledge of the slide rule and other aids so indispensable to engineers, physicists, etc. 2. An opportunity for the Senior members to take the Westinghouse Science Scholarship examinations leading to graduate work in prominent col- leges. 3. Field trips to such scientific treasure-groves as the Rosenwald Mu- seum. 4, Collaboration with the National Science Clubs of America. 5. An appreciation of the acquisition of unlimited scientific information and appli- cation calculated to improve and uplift the way of life of all Americans and of all mankind.

Since l947, 44 ot the 48 states have been contacted together with most of the countries of Eu- rope, Asia, and North and South America. Y w 'Y i 'llifffym Course Under the expert instruction of our Automotives Teacher, Mr. Peter Gahala, scores of St. Rita students were taught how to drive proficiently and safely. Not only did Mr. Gahala teach the mechanics of driving, but his em- phasis on the laws and safety techniques has made master car-pilots of many of our boys. Mr. Gahala rates an Oscar from the Cascian for an outstanding job of automobile instruction. Radio Club Many members of the senior radio class have formed a club for more advanced work. Most of the members of this club eventually obtain licenses as amateur radio operators. The Reverend John F. Galloway, O.S.A., directs this group, Father Galloway has received his Class A license and his station license from the Federal Communications Commis- sion in l947. The call letters of his station are W9RMS. if Page IO3 if 1 4 A ' if . In l iglfq f. , ,N 5 fa x l W X N 5. 6,45 N Q Mw ..

Once again, it has enabled the select speaking seniors to participate in a contest unparalleled in any other school. This year, Father Albert Durant, O.S.A., conducted the contest. Judges were picked from the sagacious faculty. The basis for their judgment of the oratory was threefold: the ability to inspire the audience, composi- tion, and the mechanics of delivery. Raymond Hannapel, St. Rita's candidate to the Fen- wick Symposium and the Hearst Oratorical Contest, was, in the opinion of the Cascian, the best speaker.

ROBERT BLACK Director The Band BAND HIGHLIGHTS OF 1949-'50 by Father John F. Casey, O.S.A. The past year's Band story is a parade of outstanding events, hardships, toilings, -personalities, and achievements . . . The first call for practice came in early August . . . Then followed the Lions' Club Boxing bouts in Clearing, where the Band played at the request of Doctor James J. Gardner, former St. Rita Sports great . . . After that, the annual parade at Riverview Park . . . The tiring, endless marching practices for the football games . . . The novel formations and crowd- pleasing tactics of the Band at the half-time shows . . . The high point in the history of the Band when they stole the show at the Herald- American All-Star Basketball Game at the Chicago Stadium in Novem- ber . . . The request of the Minneapolis Lakers to have the Band parade in Minneapolis for a couple of their games . . . Said request being stymied by music czar, Jimmie Petrillo who mother-hens his music makers who belong to the all powerful union and wishes no part of successful amateur groups . . . Back we go to the thoughts of the wonderful performances at the Championship games at Soldier Field that were televised and broadcast all over Chicagoland . . . The well-run Band dances began on December l8, with the annual Christ- mas Band Ball . . . The return engagements to the Stadium fcr the College doubleheaders where once more the Band went through the unbelievable antics that stamped them as the outstanding marching unit in these parts . . . The first games in December saw Northwest- ern and Colorado and La Salle against De Paul . . . The February l7 games in December saw Ohio State versus Northwestern and De Paul against Notre Dame . , . Then followed preparations for the annual Band Concert Festival that was held at Gage Park High School on the Page 107 THE BAND fcontinuedl . . . the night of May 8 . . . May was a very busy month as the marching unit paraded for sev- eral Communion breakfasts . . . The Band climaxed a fine year with the rendition of some beautiful melodies at Graduation . . . At graduation, several boys played for the last time as members of the St. Rita Band . . . The president, Dick Kuebrick, loyal, true, and cap- able . . . Walter Ciszak, able drummer boy . . . George Meek, city-wide champion bass drummer, tireless, pure gold, the best in the West , . . John Crvich, unsung, hard-working librarian, swell trumpeter . . . Jake Lytell, the man from the faraway places who never let us down and is a model for Band members for years to come . . . Donald Wieczorek, the self-taught bass player who overcame great odds to become an outstanding member of the Band , . . These are the seniors who will be missed more than words can say . . . The Moderator of the Band was the Rev. John F. Casey, OSA., who has held that posi- tion for ten years . . . Robert A, Black was the director, and a whole volume could not tell the things that he did for the good of the Ba nd and St. Rita's . . . Ray Ealey was the ma- jorette coach and his job was not always as pleasant as you might think . . , Art La Pointe was the very valuable drum instructor . . . Fred Rachford was the assistant director of the Band and was just as valuable in that post as he was as a player last year . . . This year the Band was fortunate in having Sylvia Fister, Irene De Maso, Bernadine Waldron, Karen Kolar, Renee Strohmaier, Jane Herlihey, Carole Bock, Laura Norvel, and Maureen Rogers, the fine majorettes, who contributed to the aesthetic effect of the per- formances . . . Cheryl Ann McCullom, the five-year old majorette, again stole the show each time the Band performed. As usual, some of the hardest workers are forgotten . . . These would be the Band Managers . . . Tom Roche was the head manager ably assisted by Donald Steele and Wil- liam Puschak . . . Their work could never be measured by written words. This year's officers were: President, Richard Kuebrick, Vice-President, Donald Wieczorek, Secretary, Joseph Eraci, and Librarians, Joihn Crvich and John Goyer.

The club is also going to participate in athletic events by forming a basketball team, softball team, and a bowling team. The responsibility of collecting the used stamps for the support of the Augustinian Missions was taken by the club. Many thanks are given to Father Caniglia for the promo- tion of this stamp drive, and it is the wish of the moderator and officers of the Stamp Club to make Father Caniglia a co-moderator of the Stamp Club. The Camera Club offers many facilities to students interested in photography. The Reverend Joseph V. Hennessey, O.S.A., is in charge and has a well-equipped darkroom for the convenience of the members. Lessons were given in developing and printing tech- niques. Motion pictures add to the vibrant force of their activities, and still -pictures ad- mirably depict school events. Advanced knowledge is imparted to all members of the club, lt is this knowledge of the instruments of photography that sets up a substantial background for careers in pho- tography. The Camera C lub Page ll0 The Pep Club Moderator: Fr. Joseph McDermott, O.S.A. The spirit of St. Rita is indomitable and indestructible, but the manifestations of its forms and appearances are varied and exquisite. ln the fall of l947, the electronic and protonic Pep Club was propelled into our midst by the diligence and spontaneity of dynamic Father O'Neill, O.S.A. Aims and scopes of this Club are here epitomized: l. 'Leadership in character, honor, and loyalty. 2. Possession by members of the Club of unflinching school spirit, and of their willingness and ability to communi- cate this spirit at athletic eve-nts and in all life's activities, especially when the fair name of St. 'Rita is the center of attraction, interest, and attention. The response of stude-nts and faculty was marvelous. Projects to fulfill these ideals were: l, Organization of a large and vigorous cheering section of real sportsmen at football and basketball games. 2. A Thursday morning pep program over the public address system, featuring cheers, songs, plans, and ideals. 3. Posters, placards, noisemakers, and attractive schedules and cheers. 4. Bus transportation, game parades, dynamite-charged rallies, etc. Members visited class sections for talks on spint and loyaHy. ln i948-l9-'19-l95O, the extraordinary work of the Pep Club and Cheerleaders was gallantly continued by Moderator Father Joseph McDermott, O.S.A., who performed a 'Her- culean task. The Cascian lauds him to the firmament. Vocation Day The Plan for Vocational Guidance Day this year was to give more diversified talks as as to cover a greater number of careers than before. The plan, further, allowed for small- er groups, and this served as an inducement for questions on the part of the students, and at the same time enabled the Career Speakers to give more personal advice and in- formation. Preliminary to the Vocation Day, all Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores in the school were permitted to choose one of twenty career topics. A committee of faculty and student members then arranged for speakers and location for the talks. The Sophomores comprised one group and the Seniors-Juniors the other. Preceding the individual career talks there were two general talks in the gymnasium on ll The General Voca- tion in Life, and 29 What to Expect and How to Prepare for College. Father Thcmas O'Neill, O.S.A., was a genuine profes- sional in moderating this project. Page lll ,movin The Fathers' Club The Fathers' Club was founded in l93O by Father Kirk to promote an intelligent and efficient reciproca- tion among students plus faculty plus parents and St. Rita. Through the years, myriad social events, the hand- ling of sports events, colossal Football Banquets, East- er Dances, unstinted cooperation in every school drive and activity, handsome awards, etc., etc., have made our Fathers' Club an articulate and incalculable en- tity at Sr. Rita. 1950 Personnel Moderator: Rev.

A beautiful aim of the club is to instill into our boys a genuine love and appreciation of our School and of its Augustinian educators. The Club conducts a spring and fall card party, socials, raffles, etc., to meet the ex- penses of a spiritual ancl mirthful Christmas party for the faculty, and an appetite-sating graduation breakfast for the senior class and the faculty. A superior achievement was the contribution to help furnish Father Derby's modernistic library In excess of one hundred club members and forty faculty members attended the Moth- ers' Club gala Christmas Party to enjoy Santa Claus and his generous presents and grab- bags. Refreshments and infinite Christmas spirit were obviously in evidence. The dynamic Father E. T. LaMorte, O.S.A., and Father James McCloskey, OSA., sparked the club as Moderators and dire t d th ' ' A c e e activities of the monthly meetings with edification, affability, and efficiency.

Lute Song is Sidney Howard and Will lrwin's version of Pi-Pa-Ki , a stage classic in China for the last six centuries, Of the ori- ginal author, little is known beyond his name, Kao-Tong-Kia. Lute Song retains the ingen- uousness of Oriental stage techniques because it is the most practical way of enacting the many beautiful incidents and scenes.

PROVINCIAL OF MOTHER OF GOOD COUNSEL PiRoviNOE Virile, vibrant vignette depicts Father Melchior as the Prior Provincial of the Province of Our Mother of Good Counsel since June, 1944. Father Melchior merited this high Office after years of magnificent service as Procurator, Rector, Pastor, and Master of Novices. Our Prior Provincial is a shining exemplar of the art of administration by the Augustinians. Page ll7 Page 118 The Propagation of Faith Rt. Rev. Msgr. Lawler of the Propagation of the Faith receiving check from Fred Radamacher '49 On February 3, the Seniors surpassed their mid-year quota of 5586.80 by 52157, the same day, the Juniors surpassed their quota of 5621.00 by 53379. A week later, the Freshmen surpassed their mid-year quota of 51,026.00 by 52407. The Sophomores have yet to contribute 537.32 to meet their mid-year quota of 572l.80. Besides contributing a dime or more per week the boys also say the Our Father, Hail Mary, and the ejaculation, St. Francis Xavier, pray for us, once each day for the missions. The boys realize that the money and prayers which they give so generously to the missions will bring the grace of God upon them in this life as in the next. The Cascian is also happy to announce that Fr. Dullea, O.S.A., the lrish Provincial from Ire- land, received 51,000 as a gift from St. Rita High School to further the Propa- gation of Faith in his country. The Cascian congratulates Fr. Fink and Fr. Timms for their splendid work in this really great cause. The Varsity Dance In the festive-filled tantasia of the Varsity Ball, the kings and queens of dance whirled and reeled in the gaily, autumnally decorated gym. The music ot Johnny Lewis and his Orchestra, thought by many to be one of the better bands, filled the chilled night of November 23, with music both hot and mellow. lt was just the thing for the pre-Turkey trot. Just before midnight, the Cinderellas of the sports were to receive their long-waited for letters and jackets. Unfortunately, the awards did not arrive. However, this did not detract from the gay atmosphere which permeated all and everything. The dance was jointly sponsored by all the varsity sports. Father Joseph Hartman, O.S.A. - together with football coach and basketball coach Mr. Frank Kopczak and Mr. Barney Badke-made sure that, as in the -past year, this second Varsity Ball was a huge success. John Villari, Dick Nolan, Dick Soich, and Ray Prusa-all members ot the senior class-helped in the tre- mendous committee-men tasks. All these, with the help ot the Rita Rooters, placed the Varsity Ball as a must on the calendars of all the Rita Socialites. Page H9 'mg 2 I ' . fi ? ll , X iw , kbs af if, at bg A.

A The Alumni Dance On January 7, the Gym was the scene of the second dance in the series. Jimmy Day's Or- chestra played for this dance. One week later, Dick Long's Band graced the Bandstand as the Rita students and their girl friends frolicked once more. February 4, was the date of another Band Dance, and for this night, the famous Val Grayson Band did the honors in the synco- pation department. Finally, on February ll, the Valentine Dance was held, bringing to an end the very successful series of Band Dances. Dances are very nice for the dancers. For the ones who are behind the scenes they mean a great deal of work. This hard work was done by the members of the Band, especially the officers and members of the committees. All this work was under the direction of Robert A. Black, Director. ALUMNI DANCE The annual Alumni dance and reunion was held on May 2l, in the school gym and base- ment. Music was furnished by Dick Long and his orchestra, Walter Nugent, '29, was the general chairman, Bob Black, '40, and Ray Ealey, '46, were in charge of arrangements, Earl Evans, '30, rereshments, and Bill Gutef kanst, '42, decorations. As a result of suggestions and previous cri- ticisms offered at Alumni meetings, this event was one of the best. Bob Black had been in charge of the band-sponsored dances in the gym and thus had experience in making the arrangements. This year the basement was kept clean and the decorations were not spared in an attempt to make it look more inviting. Fr. Coyne again moderated like an Einstein. Page REV. JOSEPH A. COYNE, O.S.A.

FAY The Cascian enjoyed a felicitous succes- sion of publication from 1924 to 1942, when the continuity was broken by the multitudi- nous retrenchment encumbrances attendant on Word War ll. From 1946 through 1950 the Cascian has undergone a post-war Renaissance unique among the yearbooks of the secondary schools of the nation. During these five progressive years it has been metamorphosed from the brochure stage to a status of supreme grade in editorial, artistic, photographic, qualitative and quantitative scope. During the war years there were no publish cations of your Cascian. When the air had been cleared and deodorized fDeo Gratiasl, Fr. Doyle and Mr. Fay reorganized the scattered ruins lying decadent for four years, and brought your Cascian back to life fresher and more beautiful than ever before. These five superb editions have been pre- Fifth pared under the sagacious direction of Rever- end William Doyle, O.S.A. and Mr. William Fay, with the able assistance of carefully selec- ted staffs. This 1950 publication of your Cascian was sown and harvested under the brilliant leadership of Father Doyle and Mr. Fay, with invaluable and indefatigable aid from Editor- in-Chief Francis Tobolski and Associate Editor James Wrzesinski and a superlatively compe- tent staff-all of whom have dedicated their whole-hearted efforts to-and received their inspirations from-their patroness, St. Rita, and the principles, ideals, and traditions for which Her School, St. Rita High School, has always stood-and will eternally standl Fifth Anniversary epilogue: Fr, Doyle was a member of the Class of 1924-the Class which edited the first Cascian .

Personal liberties and economic progress were achieved, and a glorious national existence was preserved through the physical, mental, and moral forces FATHlElR JOSEPH HARTMWN, O.S.A. Athletic Director of our great people. lt was only the complete integration of all these forces that compassed these great ends, and in their achievement, Athletics have played a prominent role inasmuch as they were the principal medium through which our people became the essence of Mens sana in corpore sano. Athletics have given vigor to the physical American, Athletics have sharpened every in- nate faculty ofthe intellectual American, and they have molded and refined the spiritual habits and ideals, and welded the profound psychological relationships of the moral Amer- ican. A voluminous paper could be written on the value of Athletics to our national security, defense, and happiness. At St. Rita we have the most comprehen- sive and diversified Athletic program among Catholic secondary schools in Chicago. Every student is given the opportunity to qualify for interscholastic competition or to exercise the option of participating in intramural sports. ln this section The Cascian gratifyingly portrays verbally and pictorially the saga of Athletics at St. Rita High School for the Scholastic Year of i949-l95O. -The Cascian Staff M.R. F3RlA'NlK KOPCZAK Coach Page 128 ? ll I . 0 Left to right: Fr. Joseph Hartman, O,S.A., Mr. Robert Schultz, Mr. Frank Kopczak, Mr. Barney Badke, Father Francis Crawford, O.S.A., Father Ralph Giovinetti, O.S.A. A gigantic athletic program such as that sponsnrial- ized at St. Rita must e natures be directed by a staff cf competent and well-grounded administrators and coaches, At the helm of directorship of Athletics at St, Rita for l949-50 was FR. JOSEPH HARTMAN, O.S.A,, who fell heir to the post vacated by Fr. O'Connor after six years of brilliant tenure. During Fr. Hartman's two-year stay at St. Rita he has manifested a knowledge, tact, and personality well calculated to carry on the traditions, ideals, and spirit of St. Rita sports. The Cascian wishes Fr. Hartman a long and auspicious directorship. MR. FRANK KOPCZAK is our head football coach, director of intramural athletics, director of the De-part- ment of Physical Education, and a real 'fpersona grata. The Cascian recalls his prowess as a lineman on Harrison's City championship team of l93l, which included the great backs, Andy Pilney and Andy Puplis. He played three All-American years at Notre Dame under Coach Elmer Layden. ln l937, Mr. Kopczak starred with the College All-Stars against the Green Bay Packers. Frank's coaching background comprises Washington University at St. Louis and McBride High School of the same metro- polls. His athletic programs in the Army Air Corps in World War Il, were widely acclaimed. ln his first year at St. Rita, Coach Kopczak's Mustangs achieved a .SCO percentage, and the Cascian predicts a much higher rat- ing for years to come. MR. BARNEY BADKE, Class of l935, has given four years to the loyal service of his Alma Mater as var- sity basketball coach, and, this year, as assistant football coach. His spirit, aggressiveness, and resolute Mustang heart have been consistently and readily absorbed by all of his players, Mr. Badke is as good a classroom peda- gogue as he is a peerless coach. FATHER FRANCIS CRAWFORD, O.S.A., has been the St. Rita boxing instructor for five years, and his championship records in C.Y.O., Golden Gloves, and in- terscholastic competitions, are sufficiently laudatory corn- mentary. Our traditionally fine baseball teams, now brack- eted in A - B and C divisions, were professionally coached by FATHlEiRS HAYES and O'MAiLL.EY, MR. ED HARVEY, and Band Maestro, BOB BLACK, Class of l94O. Another new coach has been incremented to our Athletic Staff in the effective personality of another Rita alumnus, MR. ROBERT SCHULTZ, Class of l939, Bob handled Lightweight Football and collaborated with FATHER GlOVlNETTl in the development of our Basket- ball Bantams and Flies. Father Giovenetti also did a fine stint in the coaching of our Basketball Midgets. ln inditing the Cascian finale of the finest Athletic Staff in Chicago, we give you the Number One friend, rooter, and trainer of all St. Rita athletes, BUD GARDNER. Mr. Gardner and his family for over a score of years have been to St. Rita the consummate incarna- tion of loyalty, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship. BEN REll.'LY, Class of l947, and captain of the basketball varsity of that year, is helping Mr. Badke coach this year's basketball varsity. Ben was a scholar in his school days at St. Rita and a spirited athlete. The Cascian predicts a great teaching and coaching future for its friend, Ben. MR.

Trailing 6 to 2 at halftime, an inspired Mustang ele- ven returned in the third and fourth quarters to romp over St. Patrick. Prusa scored the season's first touch- down, a two-yard plunge. A quick opener and a 20- yard dash by Phillips provided the second. 'Ranicke converted. The alertness of Wally Obrochta, who re- covered a live kick-off in St. Pat's end zone, chalked up six more points. Ranicke again converted. Chopp plowed for the extra point. SECOND PRACTICE GAME September 18 Mustangs 6 St. Ignatius 7 The fighting Mustangs met defeat at the hands of St. Ignatius. Little John Villari was the only Ritan to see pay-dirt. A missed conversion proved fatal. lPrusa's pass interceptions and Ranicke's defensive play were highly commendable. LEAGUE GAMES FIRST LEAGUE GAME September 25 Mustangs 27 St. 'Elizabeth 24 Behind hard charging Ray Prusa, the tricky running of Villari, and the great line play of Hannapel and Hansen, Rita scored their first league victory. Ranicke converted twice and Novak once for the deciding points. Little Johnny iLujack Prusa plunged for three touchdowns and Villari for one. In the final quarter it took hard line play to stop the swift Iron- men from Elizabeth. Page I32 . if xi. I ii t f. E 'K ,gk . N A is Y.. aff. SECON D LEAGUE GAME October 2 Mustangs 6 Loyola 0 The Mustangs were held from scoring until late in the second quarter when Rich Ranicke broke away on a pass from Villari and raced 67 yards to pay-dirt, for the game's lone tally. The line play of Tex Hansen, Big Steve Kirin, and Moose Kennedy, helped to stop the iL'oyolans on the 8-yard line. The high-soaring punts of Villari and the line crashing of Joe Chopp were outstanding. Ray Hannapel and Co- Captain Dick Nolan were out because of injury. I I THIRD LEAGUE GAME October 'I6 Mustangs 'I4 Mit. Carmel 21 With four minutes gone of the first quarter the Caravan scored. The P.iA.T. made it 7-0. But a spir- ited Mustang eleven marched to Carrnel's 6-yard line, where Mighty Joe Chopp plowed for six points. Rich Ranicke made it 7-7. Carmel again scored with one minute left till halftime after a stiff goal line defense. Another conversion and the halftime score was I4-7. ln the third quarter Novak intercepted a Caravan pass. The Villari to Ranicke pass team began to click. John passed to Rich on the I5-yard line and he scored standing up. Rich again tied it up li4-14. In the closing minutes an end run brought the Caravan to the Rita eleven. After seven plays, Carmel finally scored. The game ended 21-l4 in the Cara- van favor. The Rita line play was more than excellent. I I FOURTH LEAGUE GAME October 23 Mustangs 0 Fenwick 45 John Lattner, on a reverse from Bob Riigali, raced 88 yards on the kickoff for his first tally for Fenwick. The Ritans never recovered. Don Borzym and John Healy played a good game. Joe Chopp and Ray Prusa played their usual game. Novak and Ranicke were in- jured in the first half. Villari was out because of a knee injury. Page l33 FIFTH LEAGUE GAME October 30 Mustangs 31 De La Salle 7 The Mustangs continued their long string of vic- tories over the Meteors by winning an impressive victory. The scoring honors went to the juniors. Les Kraft ran 92 yards behind excellent downfield block- ing and then ran l2 for two touchdowns. Ed Novak ran 60 yards and 20 yards for pay-dirt. Big Joe Chopp, South Section choice for fullback, ran 65 yards through the center with no trouble at all. He also added the only extra point. Dick Nolan captained the team because of the loss of our triple-threat halfback, John Villari, who was on the bench because of a knee injury. Hansen, Ferret, Lorenz, and Nolan were standouts in the line for the victorious Mustangs. I I SIXTH AND LAST LEAGUE GAME November 6 Mustangs 0 Leo 'I9 The first half was a terrific football game, resulting in a O-O deadlock. Leo scored after a hard drive in the third quarter. A few minutes later a Rita fumble set up the second Lion tally. Another minute later another fumble set up the third Lion score. Rita was outscored, but never beaten. The soaring punts, beau- tiful passes and deceptive running, hard blocking and tackling of triple-threat, All-Catholic, John Vil- lari were outstanding. The backfield play of Novak, Ranicke, Chopp, and the line play of Hansen, Schae- fer, and Suchocki were great. Page I34 la 9 3,3 ,tm .

Jack Nolcn t:lli:d a basket for himself. St. Rita 53 Gage Park 33 The neighborhood Gage Park wasn't only out-scored but also outclassed. Taking an early lead Perry con- tributed twenty-three points to aid in the secniwd Mustang Heavyweight win. Don Moonan scored four- teen points, while Ranicke and Welsh added four a- piece. Kratzer and Nolan had three points each, Joe Cinko tallied one basket. St. Rita 37 Kelly 26 This time the Mustangs again jumped to an earlv lead and went all the way for their second consecutive win and third of the season. Ranicke and Perry tallied eight and six points respectively while Nolan, Plecki, Moonan, Cinko, and Barry added four points each, and Kuch added another basket. Pag E' CATHOLIC LEAGUE St. Rita 31 Mt. Carmel 49 The Caravan took an early lead and the Mustangs couldn't close the gap, though Perry scored sixteen points, Ranicke eight, Barry six, and Moonan one point. St. Rita 34 Fenwick 66 lt was a faster, bigger Friar Quintet that handed the Mustang five another defeat. Perry was held to nine while Ranicke tallied six points. Kuc-h, Nolan, and Cinko added four apiece, 'Moonan two, while Barry and Kratzer contributed three points each. St. Rita 61 De La Salle 52 The Mustang Heavyweights helped St. Rita to an- other double victory that night and taking an early lead never fell behind. Moonan scored fifteen, Rich Ranicke thirteen, Kratzer and Barry tallied eight points each, Perry seven points. Bob 'Plecki added five points, Cinko and Kuch a basket apiece. Gwojdzie- wicz squeezed in a point between rebounds. St. Rita 39 St. Elizabeth 63 Defeat came once again, this time at the hands of the sharpshooting, fast-moving lronmen. Perry had thirteen, and Kratzer eleven points, while Barry and Page 142 Moonan added six and five points respectively. Ray Gwojdjiewicz tallied two points while Rich Ranicke was held to a single counter. St. Rita 37 Leo 59 The Rita Five held their own in the first period but were at the disadvantage of playing in a small gym against a bigger quintet. Perry added his usual thir- teen points, while Moonan and Ranicke had seven and six points respectively. Gwojdiiewicz potted a long one for his two po-ints while 'Cinko sank a free throw. St. Rita 43 Mt. Carmel 46 The Mustangs played a tough, smooth game, tying the score at halftime 26 all. They were edged out of a win by three points. Perry scored twenty-two points, Rich Ranicke twelve, Barry seven, and Don Moonan two points. St. Rita 44 Fenwick 60 lt was a tough, fast, Mustang five, that went dcwn at the hands of this Friar Qiuntet. Perry tallied ten while Gwoijdiiewicz added nine points. Barry and Ran- icke each had seven points while Moonan, Kratzer, and Bob Plecki contributed six, three, and two points respectively. St. Rita 49 De La Salle 74 lt was a revengeful De La Salle Quintet that dealt this defeat to the Mustangs, who trailed all the way. Once again Ralph 'Perry contributed twenty-three for scoring honors. Rich Ranicke added six points. Plecki and Jaksy had four points apiece while Moonan, Kuch, and Gwojdziiiewicz each had three. 'Barry slipped in a free throw for his lone tally. St. Rita 36 St. Elizabeth 78 lt was the constant marksrnanship and ability of this Ironman Quintet that swept past our Mustang Five. The height of the lronmen held 'Perry to ten points while Kevin Barry, small himself, accounted for fourteen. 'Plecki and Ranicki had four points a- piece. Gwojdjiewicz and Kratzer had two points each. St. Rita 70 Loyola 51 Maybe the Globetrotters are good but they couldn't hold a candle to the Mustang Five that rolled over the highly touted Loyola Quintet. The Rita Five took the lead midway in the first half and went all the way. Perry tallied twenty-five points. Ranicke had fourteen points while Barry and Moonan added ten points each. Kratzer had four points, Cinko two, Kuch and Gwojdjiewicz one point apiece. St. Rita 35 St. Leo 49 A tight first quarter saw the Mustangs leading, 14-6, but trailing 21-19, at halftirnie. Though Ralph Perry tallied fifteen points, Jaksy seven points, and Ranicke three points, it wasn't enough to stop the Leo Lions.

Ray Prusa scored sixteen points, Luzzo and Soich had seven each. Subs John Healy and Gordon had two and four each, while Smith tallied one point. St. Rita 52 Fenwick 46 The Mustangs traveled way out to Oak Park to chalk up their first league win by six counters against the highly toute-d Friars. Even at the disadvantage of playing on the Friar home court, the Rita Five never fell behind and ended up h-igh man on the totem pole, led by Ray Prusa with twenty points and Luzzo with twelve. Piccione, Smith, and Soich tallied nine, ssven, and four in the same order. St. Rita 39 De La Salle 41 Slow to get started, the Mustangs ended up two points out of a second league win in a thrill-packed, fast-moving, hardwood game. Prusa once again le-d the scorers with eleven points while Soich had nine, Piccione, Luzzo, Smith and Gordon had seven, six, five, and one, respectively. St. Rita 71 St. Elizabeth 23 Stepping into the win column, tihe Mustang quintet, led by Rich Soich, who played his usual brilliant game, downed the lronmen ignominously. Soich and Prusa scored twenty-five and sixteen points respec- tively, Piccione scored five, and Luzzo and Smith scored two points each. Subs Vitello and Kalafut had five and four points respectively, while Borzum, Cur- ley, Gordon, Trandal, and Barba had one bucket each. St. Rita 56 Loyola 40 Trailing il-9 in the first quarter, the Mustangs scored nineteen points in the second period to take a 27-20 halftime lead they never relinquished. Prusa and Piccione were lead-ing scorers with fifteen and thirteen points respectively. George Harhen, playing his first game, tallied ten markers. Soich had five while Luzzo and Smith had four points each. Subs, J. Cronin and J. Gordon, had one basket each. St. Rita 43 Leo 45 Getting off to a bad start, it took the Mustangs three periods to overcome a ten point Lion lead, only to have Prusa, Luzzo, and Soich foul out. Unable to surpass the Leo marksmanship, the Mustangs once more bowed to the Lions. Prusa tallied th-irteen, Picci- one five, and Soich and Harhen four points each. Luzzo and Smith had four and three respectively. St. Rita 36 Mt. Carmel 41 Playing good ball, the Lights led in the game until the final quarter when Ray Prusa fouled out. A quick Caravan rally put Rita behind and that's the way it ended. Prusa scored fifteen while Smith had six points on free throws. Soich and Piccione had three points each. Page 145 St. Rita 49 Fenwick 62 A tight first period saw Rita tied for the lead at l3 all. Halftime saw Rita breaking the deadlock 24-22. The Mustangs led going into the final period. The bottom seemed to fall out when Luzzo, Piccione, Pru- sa, and Smiith left the game on personal fouls Cmuch to the dislike of the fansl, and the Friars avenged an earlier defeat. Prusa scored fourteen while Soich tallied twelve points. Smith had eight, Luzzo had seven, and Har- hen three points. Substitute Trandel scored four points. St. Rita 45 De La Salle 36 Avenging an earlier upset, the Mustang Five took an early first quarter lead to 'stay in command throughout. Will Luzzo and Ray Prusa le-d the scorers with sixteen and fourteen points respectively. Roger Smith tallied six markers while Vitello, Soich and Harhen had four, three, and two points in the same order. St. Rita 85 St. Elizabeth 18 Without much competition, the Mustangs rolled to a 33-3 first quarter lead. Ray 'Prusa, George Harhen, and John Piccione led the scorers with twenty-one, fourteen, and thirteen points respectively. Rich Soich had eight points and Will Luzzo four. Substitutes: J. C. Cronin, seven points, Trandel and Kalafut with four points each, Vitello, Walsh, Healy, Devery, and Kumle, all with two points apiece. Sr. Rita 53 Lowla 25 It did not take much for the Mustangs to roll past Loyola. With the second team handling itself nicely, the Mustangs chalked up the second game of an eight game winning streak. Rich Soich contributed eleven points. Piccione came close behind with eight. Prusa, Smith, and Gordon tallied five points each, while Luzzo and Borzym each counted four points. Page l46 St. Rita 55 St. Leo 47 With Piccione and Luzzo hitting for eight and seven points respectively in the first quarter, the Mustangs steamed ahead with a halftime lead of 28 to 20. Rich Soich contributed thirteen of his twenty po-ints in the third quarter to secure an eight point lead at the beginning oif the final period. Piccione and Luzzo had eleven points each, while Prusa, Har- hen and Smith accounted for nine, three, and one respectively. CATHOLIC LEAGUE PLAY-OFFS St. Rita 64 Dei La Salle 57 lt was Rita all the way in the play-off for third place South Section. With the magnificent floor work of Soich, Luzzo and Piccione-the Meteors were kept on the run. Ray All-Catholic Prusa netted twenty- six big points. The Mustangs were never behind with Soich sinking fourteen points. Harhen and 'Luzzo con- nected for nine and seven in that order. Piccione, Smith, and Gordon had six, three and two points. St. Rita 56 Weber 41 The Mustangs, decided underdogs, one more time proved that they had what it takes. Richie Soich led the scorers with sixteen points, Ray Prusa followed close behind with thirteen. Hig-h-spirited, hard-fight- ing Roger Smith tallied nine points. Will Luzzo buck- eted four, with eight points. Piccione and Harhen had three po-ints each. St. Rita 48 Mount Carmel 47 lt was a revenge-filled quintet that defeated South Section Champion Mount Carmel. Though the Cara- ven had an early nine point lead, a fighting Mustang Five saw a 29 to 28 halftime lead. It was the ball- handling of Rich Soich inine points? and Will Luzzo itwelve pointsl, and the rebounding of Ray Prusa iisev- en points? and George Harhen lten pointsl, that led to another Mustang victory. A word of praise to little John Piccione iseven points? and Rog Smiitih, who sank three important points, in the closing minutes. St. Rita 62 De Paul 35 The Pony Express, playing the Cinderella role from the very outset, literally ran the De Paul De- mons off their feet to win the Catholic 'League Junior Basketball Championship. Will Luzzo, tallying sixteen throughout, drew first blood for the Mustangs. lt was the speed and accuracy of George Harhen, Ray Prusa, and Willie that stampeded the Demons. l'n the the meantime, the superior floorwork of Rich Soich and John Piccione completely baffled the De Paul Quintet. It was the all-around control of the back- board that saw the Rita Five-playing the role of the Irresistible Force--rampage past the highly-touted North Section Champs, who had the impressive league record of thirteen wins and one loss. George Harhen swished ten points together with Richie Soich. Ray Prusa and John Piccione potted seven points each, while Rog Smith counted for three. lt was a hasty change that the so-called sports ex- perts were forced to make because of tiheir under- estimation of these Mustangs. pu.: 3' Y' Q s lt? s 4 -ll' vvl' ,, , Vt H A , 1 il -'W' -KJN NAME Points White ........ 177 Yaeger ........ 85 Crowley ....... 62 Jaksy ......... 57 Barry ....--... 43 Beclnar .....,.. 42 Andreitch ..... 33 Kush ......g.. 28 Mauer ........ 20 Fassel ........ 19 Simonitis ...... 15 ' 12 Dainko ........

Page l5l i Jim Enright, of the Herald-American, introducing Al Zarilla, outfielder of the Boston Red Sox. Baseball N ight St. Rita gymnasium was aglow with base- ball stars on the night of Wednesday, May ll, The occasion was Major League Baseball Night, which was sponsored by the Fathers' Club. Present for this affair were Charlie Com- iskey, now handling the reins of the White Sox, James Enright, outstanding sportswriter on the Herald-American and also, at times, official scorer at Comiskey Park, George Mori- arity, one-time famous ball-player, manager, and major league umpire, and a number of players from the Chicago White Sox and the Boston Red Sox. The White Sox players pres- ent were: Bill Wight, Randy Gumpert, Bob Kuzava, Herb Adams, and Bill Pierce. Al Za- rilla, Johnny Robinson, and Charlie Stobbs rep- resented the Red Sox. Part of the happy throng at the Baseball Night Page lb2 Mr. Jack O'Connor, chairman of the affair, welcomed the huge crowd of approximately l,OOO that packed the gymnasium. He then turned the microphone over to Mr. George Polka, president of the Fathers' Club. Mr. Pol- ka was followed by Jim Enright, who acted as MC. Charlie Comiskey was introduced amid a round of thunderous applause: In a brief speech, the members of the White Sox and Red Sox teams were introduced. Each of them, in turn, spoke to the audience and then an- swered questions directed to them. Mr. George Moriarity was then introduced. In a speech directed especially to Fr. Edmund .J Hayes, OSA., Rita's highly successful baseball coach, and to the members of the varsity nine, Mr. Moriarity told of his deep interest in baseball at St. Rita. He also called upon all boys to to develop their baseball skill for their own good and the nation's good. The gymnasium was then darkened and films of the l948 World Series and the White Sox farm system were shown. The latter was in technicolor. Drawings were then held to determine the lucky winners of the many door prizes. Credit for the fine evening of entertain- ment goes to Fr. D. J. Hartigan, O.S.A., mod- erator of the Fathers' Club, Fr. E, J. Hayes, OSA., Mr. Jack O'Connor, and his capable fellow members of the Fathers' Club. Tele- grams stating regret because they were not able to be present were received from Mr. Bill Hughes, president of the Chicago Amateur Baseball League, Alderman Vyzral of the l'5th ward, and Luke Appling, time-honored and popular short-stop of the White Sox.

Bottom: Miller, Stipowicz, Fabian, Rusnak, The first meet against De Paul was an unsuccessful one. The senior team was wiped out while the juniors lost a heartbreaker, 36-3'4. Miller placed in the 660-yard run. The second meet was a triangular contest with St. George and St. Leo. The Mustangs were no competition for the powerful St. George team, but we took second place by wiping out St. Leo. Outstanding for the seniors was Norb Wiley, who sprinted, high-jumped, and won the shot-put. ln the third contest with St. Leo, the traditional rivalry took place on the cinder path as well as the grid- iron. Both Rita teams came in with a double victory. Flanagan and Sipowicz placed second and third in the 6i6Cayard run, Gerry Super won the half-mile, and came in soccnd in the mile, Fitzpatrick was second in the half- mile, Volz won the mile, and Gene Klein won the 220 and lOO-yard dashes. The fourth meet was with the Cadets of Morgan Park Military Academy. St. Rita could not have picked a tougher opponent to close the season. To begin with, the senior team lost, but fine form, with Volz and Super taking first and second in the senior mile, beat all the 'Morgan Park contenders. The junior team made up for the senior team's loss by winning a well-earned victory. First, Bill Schroeder, who got a day off from football practice, won the shot-put and also came in second in the three-quarter of a mile race, one he had never run before. Ford won the lOO-yard dash and Parus the 220- yard dash. Flanagan took a surprise victory in the high' jump. A big surprise came in the 440-yard run. Our juniors had never run this race before, but T. McCarthy, C. Sipowicz, and W. Flanagan came in, in that order, for an upset but also a wellaearned victory. ln the City Meet and Loyola Relays, our Mustangs did not have much of a chance, but Norb Wiley always showed great power in the shot-put, and broke the Loyola Relays' record, Tim Mahoney won the City champion- ship high-jump.

Numerous S t u d e n 1: s Martin Crutch- Private Eye Ball A Special Feature Sitting in my third floor office, I' no- ticed a strange appearing house brick through the window, and that is just where it came, through the window. Us- ing my shrewd powers of observation, I deduced it was not the type used by good Irishmen throughout the world. As it hurtled at me at the rate of three feet per second, I had time to see it was the kind used only in Cicero-it had odds for win, place, and show. The name of Leon Garbage Man Jasien ran through my head just as the missile ran into it. The next fifteen minutes found me at a disadvantage, I was unconscious. After climbing through the last five yards of the gossamer material, I climbed into my hat and coat and crawled out the door. I knew that Garbage Man Jasien had been cleaning up in Cicero for some time. New I could catch him shovel-handed. Upon reaching his headquarters, I' found Richie Bullets Borisiewiicz, Larry The Harvey Crooner Janota, Gene I'm a Big Boy in Bridgeport O'Brien, and Rog- er The Bluebeard of Englewood Smith. Interrupting their game of Canasta, I waded through this crowd of Public Ene- mies I, 2, 3, and 4-disrespectfuIly- I went directly to the clues closet, a de- vice seldom used by private eyes. The information found in the closet was enough to send all the Canasta wiz- ards up the river, a regrettable thing since they knew not how to swim. Period. End of report. Di cover Amerie St. Rita historians, long theorizing that Columbus was a fraud, have proven, to themselves at least, that America was not discovered on October 12, 1492. After a year of stringent research, they have also found that the world is not round, as Columbus and a few scientists after him have thought. This discovery led John Azukas of the Historical Society of Room 31, together with his confreres Francis X. Christiano, 'Robert Benson, Richard Kopecky, and Donald Kalkowski all of the same society, to the fact that Columbus was only stringiing Queen Isa- bella along. An interesting theory held by the same men, which has yet to be proven, is that the Westward Movement had better stop. Too many people have fallen off the western edge already! At the prese-nt, they are receiving some cooperation from certain members of the faculty. With sl-ide rule in hand, Kenneth Dion, president of the Histori- cal Society, had this to say: Hmmnpf. The new date that will be entered into all future. history books will be October I9, 1950. Hmmnpf. The reason for this date is that we still have a doubt, though it is a small one, that America was really discovered at all. MAN BITES DOG Robert Wolf was arrested with charges made by the Humane Society after obey- ing an inner impulse to get his name in the paper. Wolf, upon searching for a likely specime-n, took a mouthful of fuzz off a sleeping Mexican Hairless. Not be- ing one for discrimination, the dog went to the nearest phone, dialed operator, and summoned the Humane Society. The Humane Society, not having a Spanish interpreter, called t'he Police, who sent their special riot detail, headed by Bob Dullard. Heroic Fireman Scores Again Wayne Grabinskii's ambition as a young man was to become a fireman. Well now, several years later, his ambi- tion has been fulfilled beyond his wildest dreams. Cited recently by Mayor Henry Petan and Chief Fire Marshall Dick Mis- covic for his heroism during the fighting of the tragic D. Arlt Hotel fire, he went on to merit another citation last night. An explosion in the basement of St. Rita High School brought Grabinski's company out on the run. Having attend- ed that school several years before, he knew what steps had to be taken. He went into the then blazing buildiing and rescued two freshmen and a jun-ior from the fiery jug room. Grabinski remem- bered the rules and the punishments of the school to the students advantage. Once a fella is sentenced with an in- definite jug, he stated, he may as well tear up his street-car pass and will out his already written Codes of Honor. Fellow-firemen, Joseph Ariss and Rich- ard Nolan, praised Grabinski for his quick thinking and coolness in the face of emergencies. CRIMINAL APPREHENDED Thomas Volz, bette-r known as that well-known man about jug class, was captured by G-men Joseph Heritek and Art Martin for his smuggling of Serutan thirty-five. Questioned to pecple under by Heritek, Volz related that he worked from two in the afternoon to noon the same day. When asked how he accom- plished this method of working back- wards, Volz said he did it that natureS way. Page 157 THE CHICAGO SOME-TIMES , , 4-1 , l - 47 - 1 J THE CHICAGO SOME-TIMES An Independent Newspaper Dan Lindsay ............. Co-Editors ............ Frank Tobolski I, ' Y Y 1 Miracle Car Shown Here People were amazed at tihe unique styling and comforts provided by the auto world's newest contributor, the Nolan 8'. After a ride in the Nolan 8', they were convinced that it has revolutionized the auto industry. Jack Nolan, President of the Nolan Auto Company, has confessed that the unusual styling was brought about by ac- cident. Several months ago, while racing his hot-rod down a city side street, he made a sharp turn around a corner and ran into a mule train driven by Frankie Laine. This incident also accounts for the change from horsepower to mulepower in the Nolan autos. Head engineers, Louis Coppola, Ted Hezlep and Tom Mear, decided definite- ly on a rear engine when first shown the design. But it somehow got out of hand and now the engine is so far in the rear that it is housed in a tail-like wagon which attaches to the back bumper. Bob Solik and John Healy, co-chairmen of the National Auto Association, pre- sented Mr. Nolan with the V950 Safety Award, while Danny Lindsay, editor of the Modern Design magazine, pre- pared an award for the Most Modern Design in Autos for l95O. Yes, truly the auto industry has a new trend ahead of them w-ith the Nolan 8' as its model. LUNCH TIME AT ST. RITA! St. Rita's halls are quiet, No sounds are to be heard. The dearies all in class, Are waiting for the word: THIS W'l'laL BfE AllsL A deafening noise then comes forth, Like roaring subway trains. The pounding of their thundering hooves, Like buffalo on the plains. To the madhouse down below! they cry To gulp their food with haste, The crashing of their locker doors, Quickens their maddened pace. But soon, beckoning chimes shall sound, 'Following the long, loud bray. The halls will quiet once again, 'For the herd shall gallop away. -Joseph Alessi '50 Page l58 Masterpiece Upens Tonight After a delay of three days The .Hair- less will be premiered tonight at the Sokol Theatre. Critics have claimed author Bob Denison hasqcreated a master- piece. Starring in tihe play is Ray J. Han- napel, said to be the hottest actor ever to come out of Iceland. His supporters are Eugene Cline, Mark Macha, James Conlon and Bob Benson. The play, of fifteen acts, has a plot never used before this side of sanity. lt has to do with the brother of Bugs Bun- ny, who joins the R.A.F. and gets into some hare raising experiences. l't has such thought provoking questions as Should a rabbit play possum? and Should a possum play chicken? Mr. Hannapel does a splendid job of portray- ing all three. AIDS FRIEND-FINED 510 Bob Cusack, well known among his customers for his sure cure hiiccup remedies, and Robert Winkleman were arrested by policeman Harry Clark and Jack Raymond after a brawl in 'Cusack's South-side bar. When questioned by Sgt. G. Casper of the l3'th Precinct, Winkle- man said he entered the tavern and asked Cusack if he knew how to cure a bad case of hiccups. Cusack, who believes in the element of surprise in his cures, quickly grabbed a wet bar rag and threw it in his face. Thinking it cause enough ex-boxer, did to fight, Wiinkleman, an so. lt seems that Cusack didn't realize that it was Winklemanfs girl friend in front of the tavern who had the hiccups. Cusack and Winkleman were fined ten dollars each, for disturbing the peace, by Judge Joseph Ciinko. My grandpa plays the piano by ear. That's nothing. My grandpa fiddles with his beard. Mystery Man Elurles Police May-DIP. The mystery man has not been captured after almost three months of search. Captain James S. Flynn and Lieutenant Walter Shaughnessy of Head- quarters and David Vollinger of Hind- quarters have asked the help of Martin Crutch, William Hieden and Joe Thiel- man of Scotland Yard. The first time the man of mystery was seen was March 2. Five St. Rita students came upon him on their way to a promi- nent oratorical contest, which would rather be left unnamed. Joe Alessi was riding in a car driven by William Panoz- zo. John Schmidt and an unidentified pipe smoker were in the back seat. Jo- seph Alessi told policemen Dick Kopecky Panozzo and James Kenney that after beat a train and passed into a no-tres- passing zone, the mystery man, dressed in a light brown overcoat and a white scarf wrapped around his neck, flowing in the fifty mile-an-hour wind, ran right toward their headlights. While John Schmidt was hysterically shouting Lock all the doors, Joe Alessi incoiherently told of seeing the possessed man the fire of hades and the huge t-hree head- ed 'Cerberus-like dog, as Panozzo hur- riedly drove out keeping within his 20 m.p.h. limit. Police were convinced that this was a job for Superman. DIVER EXPLORES LAKE BOTTOM After a five hour afbsence from above- water consciousness, Dick Schaefer final- ly ascended from Lake Michigan after locating a faulty bar of Ivory Soap that had failed to float. Ray Schatz and Jed- reicak were appointed to track dcwn Andrew Zumer who sold the soft-soap to 'Fred Eder. How do you know carrots are good for the eyes?
