He inherited from his father a sensual disposition and early gave way to the unbridled impulses of passion. As a result of this he became the father of a son to wholn he was passionately attached. Although Augustine was a wanton youth, he was eager and earnest in his thirst for knowledge. His father, having observed the talents of his boy, spared no expense to educate his son for a career as a rhetorician. The youth stud- ied at his home town and also at Madaura and Carthage. He was especially devoted to the Latin poets. He was not very well acquainted with Greek literature, and it has been doubted whether or not he could use, in the original, either the He- brew or Greek Sculptures. NVhile he was attending Carthage, the theater held a strange fascination for him. To his sensuous spirit the spectacles presented at the theater were irresist- ible, and the extent to which he seems to have yielded to the fascination is suf- ficient proof of his active alienation from Christianity at this period. Augustine's mind was first awakened to the spirit of speculation when in his nineteenth year he read Cicero's Hortensius. Augustine ceaselessly engaged in the study of various philosophies, and passed from one phase of thought to an- Page 6 other, unable to find satisfaction in any. Manichaeism was the first to catch his fan- cy. Manichaeism was a doctrine of two ,if principles, one of good and one of evil. This seemed the answer to tl1c wild per- plexity that raged within l1im. He became a me111ber of the sect, and entered into the M class of auditors. His greatest ambition was to be received QIIHOIIQ the Elect and so re- ceive the core of what he thought was their superior knowledge. Soon the system lost its attraction and he abandoned it. After this letdown he traveled to Milan to serve as a teacher of rhetoric. At Milan, the conflict that raged in his mind and heart continued with more fervor than ever before. Now 30 years of age, effete and dejected, he had been seeking for some 11 years to find mental rest, unable to find it. Ambrose was, at that time, the Bishop of Milan and although his voice was weak, he was noted far and wide for his eloquence. Augustine, attracted by the reputation of this great preacher, went to hear him speak. As Ambrose spoke, Augustine hung on every word. After Ambrose had finished, Augustine wished to speak to him, but this was not easily done because Ambrose had no leisure for philosophic conversa- tion. Nevertheless, Augustine continued to hear Ambrose speak and gradually the gos- pel of divine truth was received into l1is heart. First Plato and then St. Paul opened his mind to higher thoughts, and at length certain works of St. Paul were driven home with irresistible force to his conscience. One day he was absorbed in studying the Paul- ine epistles when his struggle of mind be- came intolerable. He burst into an uncon- trollable flood of tears and rushed out into Page 7 his garden, flinging himself under a fig tree to pour out his heart to God. Suddenly he seemed to hear a voice calling upon him to consult the divine oracle, Take up and read. He left and sought the volume where his friend, Alypius, was sitting, and read: Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chamber- ing and impurities, not in contention and envy. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ. tllomans XIII, 13, 14.5 After his conversion, which is supposed to have occurred in the summer of 386, Augustine gave up his profession as a teacher in rhetoric and retired to a friend's house in the country in order to prepare himself for Baptism. During the duration of his stay he broke his habit of prof use swearing, and in other ways sought, to prepare properly for his Baptism. He received Baptism on Easter at the age of 333 and along with him his son, Adeodatus, and his friend, Alypius, was admitted to the Catholic Church. Monica, his mother, had rejoined him and at length rejoiced in the fulfillment of her prayers. Dying before his return to his native country, she was gladdened by his Christian sympathy. She implored hin1 to lay her body anywhere, but wherever he might be, to remember her, at the altar of the Lord. Augustine then went back to Rome for a brief period and returned to his native city, forming with certain friends a small religious community. Their mode of life was not formally monastic according to any special rule, but the experience of this kind of seclusion was the basis of tl1at monastic system which Augustine afterwards sketched, and which derived from him its name. It did not remain for him to origi- Page 8 nate the monastic ideag but the association ot' monks in communities under a definite order and head received a special impulse both from Ambrose and his illustrious con- vert. The fame of such a convert in such a position soon spread, and invitations to a more active ecclesiastical life came to him from many quarters. He shrank from these responsibilities, but the Faith was on the march. After living for 3 years in retire- ment he journeyed to Hippo to see a friend who wished to ask him why he had devoted hilnself to a religious life. XVhile in Hippo, he was ordained to the presbyterate and in a few years was made coadju- tor to the Bishop and finally Bishop of the See. The time was one of almosl universal ecclesiastical and intellectual excite- ment and so powerful a lnental activity as was his was dynamoed in all direc- tions. He wrote condemnations of the Manichaeans. He was able, from his own experience, to give force to his arguments for the unity of creation and of spiri- tual life. Following his writings against the Manichaeans came those against the Donatists. This pa1'ty made great pretensions to purity of discipline, and rapidly rose to popularity. Augustine was strongly moved by the lawlessness ot'.the party, and launched a series of writings against -Dm them. The third controversy of which Augus- tine was a party was the most important, and the most intimately associated with his distinctive greatness as a theologian. Augus- tine was greatly interested in the anthropo- logical aspects of the Catholic idea of re- demption. He himself had been brought out of the darkness only by entering the depths of his soul and finding that there was no Page 9 power, other than Divine Grace as revealed in the life and death of Jesus Christ, which could bring peace to human weariness or pardon for human guilt. In God alone he found good. When the expression Augustinianism is used it points especially to the opinions of the great teacher which were evoked in the Pelagian controversy to which he de- voted the most powerful period of his life. Coelestius, a pupil of Pelagius, was ar- raigned before the Bishop of Carthage for the following heretical opinions: ll Adam's sin was purely personal, 25 Each man is born with powers as incorrupt as those of Adaln, and falls into sin under the force of temptation, 35 Children who die in infancy are saved without Baptism. When Augustine's attention was drawn to these views by the trial and excommunieation of Coelestius, he undertook the task of their refutation. Upon no subject did Augustine bestow more of his intel- lectual strength, and in no other way have his views so deeply and permanently affected the course of Christian thought. In addition to these controversial writings, which mark the great epochs of Augustine's life and ecclesiastical activity after his settlement as the Bishop of Hip- po, he was the author of other works, some of tl1e1n better known and even more im- ' portant. His greatest work, the most ela- borate and in some respects the most signi- ficant, is The City of God. It is designed S3 a great apologetic treatise in vindication of Christianity and the Christian Church-- the latter conceived as rising in the form of a new civic order on the crumbling ruins of the Roman Empire, but it is also, perhaps, the earliest contribution to the philosophy Page IO ol' hislory, as il is a reposilory lhroughoul his cherished lheologieal opinions. His syslemalie lrealise on lhe 'l'rinily, which exlends lo l'il'leen hooks, is his mosl im- porlanl dogmalie work. The closing years ol' lhe greal Bishop and Doelor were I'ull ol' sorrow.

St. Rita describes a complete cycle of spiritual phases through the scholastic year. ln the inspiring and sublime setting of our Chapel, each student attends Mass with his class once a weekg he goes to Confession Father O'Rourke and receives Holy Communion at least once a month, he hears instructive and practical homilies delivered by our Augustinian Fa- thers, he partakes of the resplendent ser- vices appropriate to each Ecclesiastical sea- son, he makes an annual retreat to renovate and sanctify his spiritual being, he is privi- leged to keep sacred vigil with the Knights ot the Holy Eucharist, and to serve Holy Mass and gain membership in the Sanctuary Society, he contributes generously to The Propagation of the Faith, The masterly execution of our Chapel exercises was compassed under the supervi- sion ot our dynamic Chaplains, Fathers Fran- cis Lawlor and Wm.

Page 27 H X, - 1 ' ' A Saint Augustine Ha FEAST OF ST. AUGUSTINE August 28, 1950 While Augustine is called the Doctor of Grace, because of his refutation of Pelagianism and his ex- position of the subtle influence of God on the human soul, he might well be termed Doctor of the Church for his matchless exposition of its corporate divine life and its essential unity, lt was his City of God, his favorite theme. De ecclesia numquam satis. The Church, he says, is now what the earthly paradise was. Therefore those who slay men by seducing them from the Church are sons of Satan. Just as unity was the characteristic mark of the Romans, so unity must be the distinctive mark of the spiritual polity, the Church of God. To be out of the unity of Christ's Mystical Body is, in Augustine's eyes, to be not merely a heretic, but a pariah, an outcast, without country or home or kindred. As St. Paul may be said to have seen Christo- centric, filled with Christ, breathing His spirit in all P' K' ji hav . 3 9 is-1 his utterances, so Augustine may be said to have been filled with the Church, Christ's incarnate Spouse, and to breathe reverence and love for her in his every word. How accurately he discerned the importance of unity for he-r continued existence and growth, the his! tory of the divisions of Christendom in later centuries abundantly testifies, His horror at the thought of be- ing separated from the center of Christian unity was duplicated centuries later by the greatest scholar of his age, John Henry Newman, who, finding himself in the same relative position to the center of Christian unity as the heretical Monophysite-s of the fourth cen- tury, exclaimed: My stronghold was antiquity: now here, in the middle of the fifth century, l found, as it seemed to me, Christendom of the sixteenth and nine- teenth centuries reflected. I saw my face in that mir- ror and l was a Monophysitelu THE LIGHT OF THE AGES: SAINT AUGUSTINE The Feast of St. Augustine, August 28, 1950 He walked in the days ot rampant vice When souls were bartered by rolling dce- When might was right, and truth was slight- And culture and lore were dim as night.

Their history reaches back to an illustrious founder, St. Augustine, whose profound mind formulated and gave written expression to the very foundations of Christian thought and culture. St. Augustine was born in the fourth century and devoted his life to the mon- astic ideal of nurturing and spreading Christ's way of life. For fifteen centu- ries the Augustinians have patterned their lives after Saint Augustine. Great saints, great scholars, great teachers, great missionaries-a glorious pageant of Augustinian 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 modern man. He meant that after fifteen centuries St. Augustine's thought is still modern. ln St. Augustine's voluminous works one finds an astonishing clarity of thought upon the vexing problems of the present. An- cient in wisdom yet up-to-date in its application! This likewise is the keynote of the Augustinian system of education. TO THIS GREAT DOCTOR OF OUR FAITH THE CASCIAN 1951 IS PTROUDLY DEDICATED. The preparation of an Augustinian for a teaching career, therefore, com- bines 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 inculcate a plan of life and a grasp upon its riddles. This great Order of Augustinians, inspired by St. Rita, has established St. Rita High School as the largest Catholic boys' high school west of Phila- delphia. -THE CASCIAN STAFF Page 33 If REVEREND JOHN TFITZMAURICE, OSA.

At St. Rita, graduation is an event of incomparable solemnity, fervor, and grandeur. lt is an event which blends impressively and imperishably the affinities and varieties of form and substance. The scapular of our Blessed Mother, the cap and gown, the diplo- ma are objects of noble sentiments and profound inspirations. Our Shrine, our school, the Colony Theater are unforgettable backgrounds which stir our minds and hearts to heights of ecstasy. W .ks 'Lf-'ss I ll 5. N .Ed Vx ,sm - jf-1, ., .ni :Lx . , .

Seniul This year the Senior Prom was held at he Olympia Fields Coun- l95l Graduates en- try Club. Our 'oyed a noost memorable evening 1 . under the auspices of the dynam- ic Father John Fitzmaurice, Mod- erator of the Senior Class. The final high school social for our de- h that parting Seniors was a nig t will not soon be forgotten. A set- +- ting of soft lights and formal a. tire provided a regal atmosphere Page 74 'rum seldom experienced The Cascian lauds Fr. Fitzmaurice for a fine triumph in the arts of social ame- nities and administrative finesse and technique. It is our sincere wish that our seemingly endless labors here are not fruitless, but instead, that in years to come these pictures of the Senior Prom will provide us with nostalgic memories of carefree high school days and the one and only Senior Prom, Class uf 1952 358 Scholars Education's e v ol u tio n has brought gratification for 75? of the cycle successfully achieved, with promise that the remaining 2592 will be abundantly supplied with academic, spiritual, and ath- letic returns proportionate to our investment of time and effort. The Cascian offers paeans of commendation to the Junior Class and Officers for upholding St. Rita traditions and standards, and exhorts every one of its 358 stu- dents to make the year l95l-52 the best of the high-school cycle.

The striking and felicitous deri- vation sophos meaning wise and moros meaning foolish is descriptive of a boy who has been initiated in the lodge of lore but who has to earn more degrees and honors in the knighthood ot knowledge. The year is vital in the physical and mental maturity of a boy, and The Cascian is convinced that the Augustinian Fathers offer the type of academic and physical development superlatively calcu- lated to inflate the sophos and to deflate the moros.

The St. Rita Freshmen are our foster Bennies and favorite sons of St. Rita. They selected our school from a host of excellent poten- tials, thereby favoring our curri- cula, ideals, spirit and tradition. The Cascian needs plenty of good copy for future editions, and will be elated to draw forth its abundant supply from the l95O- l95l vintage of 6l9 embryonic Bennies.

Dean -rf? MR. COLEMAN Assistant Dean I my Nw: ,V 1 LN' SE HUUL From a humble beginning in the summer ot l939, St. Rita Summer Session has achieved a firm position in the organization of our school. This branch ot our school also is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the State of Illinois. All subjects taught in a high school curriculum are taught in the Summer Session provided there is a formative group of ten students desiring the subject. Classes in mathematics, physi- cal and social science, language, English, and other related subjects were taught in the summer of 1950. The classes are not restricted to St. Rita students. Boys and girls from forty other Catholic, public and boarding schools were regis- tered during the recent summer sessions. The registration during the summer of l95O was 703 students taking l257 semester hours. The students, boys and girls, enjoy Augustinian teaching and environment. To the genius and to the perse- verance ot Principal Fr. Fink, Deans Fr. Collins and Mr. Cole- man, to a cultured Summer School Faculty-your Cascian pays its sincere compliments and a debt of gratitude. NB. A word of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Ennis for their indis- pensable Canteen ..-ff Augustine, the Humanitarian 'Among Scholastics the brightest gem Your human side we can't condemn! It served your soul a radiant hem! We have our share of human traits That make our lives woeful straits, Your prayers will ease avenging hates. , L .5955 f 'YV 4...ql Y K Page 96 THLETIII STAFF At St. Rita it is no figure of hyperbole to state that sports are played twelve months of the year, since our baseball teams are actively contending on Chicago diamonds all through the summer. Nor is it a literary figure to aver that every student can participate in the sport of his own selection, either interscholastic or intramural. ln this section The Cascian offers a presentation of the faculty and stu- dents who have carried on the Mustang athletic achievements through the year l95O-l95l. Our Director-ln-Chief was Fr. Joseph Hartman, OSA., who for the sec- ond year administered the Athletic Department with the skill of a professional commissioner, Mr. Frank Kopczak was again our head football coach, track coach, di- rector of intramural athletics, and director of the Department of Physical Edu- cation. His background includes Notre Dame, Washington University, Mc- Bride High School, and the U. S. Army Air Corps. His football teams have always rated a .500 percentage, or better. Mr. Barney Badke, Class of l935, has given five years of regal service to his Alma Mater in the role of varsity basketball coach and assistant foot- ball coach. He won a basketball championship for St. Rita last year, the first in the history of our school. Fr. Francis Crawford, O.S.A., has been our boxing instructor for six years, and his annual championships have become a confirmed habit with Fa- ther Champion. il' ywi-- V11 Fr. O'Malley and Edward Harvey were our baseball coaches So po ular - P is baseball at St. Rita that it has become necessary to organize a varsity team a sophomore team, a freshman team and a midget team Fr O'Malle has , . - Y continued the St. Rita tradition of perennial baseball championships.

The miraculous Mustangs were anything but courteous, handing St. Pat's a 26 to 6 defeat. The first quarter saw our center, .lack Cantlin, snare a St. Pat pass and race 34 yards to pay-dirt. Rich Ranicke made fast work of the P.A.T. and at the end of the quarter the Mustangs led 7-O. The Mustangs started off the second quarter in much the same fashion as they did the first, driving to the 3-yard line where Jolting Joe Chopp dived over center for the score. Ranicke's try for the point after was unsuccessful. Later on, the meteoric Mus- tangs again drove to St. Pat's goal, Rich Ranicke bar- relling over for the T.D. His talented toe failed to add the extra point. In the fourth and final quarter our Mustangs roared back, and on the steady and true passing hand of Ed Novak, scored again. The pass went from :No- vak to stellar end, Steve Boyle, and was good for 34 yards and a score. Ranicke's talented toe added the point, making the final score 26-6 in favor of St. Rita. Second Practice Game - September 'I7 Mustangs 0 Fenwick 42 For their first practice start, the Mustangs drew the fabulous Fenwick Friars as their opponent. The Friars were Catholic League Champions of '49 and showed their potentiality of repeating this year. With the help of frequent Mustang fumbles and passes that went astray the Friars had little trouble rolling up l4 points in each of the first, second, and fourth quar- ters. The Mustangs were able to hold the Friars scoreless in the third period. LEAGUE GAMES First League Game - September 24 Mustangs 6 St. George 6 ln their first league game of the year the Mustangs met the dynamic Dragons from St. George. The game ended in a 6-6 tie at distant Lane Tech Stadium. In the bruising first quarter, the Dragons battered their way to their lone tally. Jerry Lewon, playing heads-up ball for the Mustangs, blocked the attempt- ed conversion. ln the third period the Mustangs went on to tie the score on a march to the Dragon's 24-yard line, from where high-stepping Les Kraft scampered into T.D. territory. Rich iRanicke's talented toe- failed to add the extra point. Added to the excitement of the dead-locked game in the final quarter was a 25-yard return of a pass interception by Les Kraft. Other final quarter high- lights were passes from Ed Novak to Rich Ranicke and Bob Gugelmeyer to Steve Boyle, both for 26 yards, The bitterly fought contest revealed a great im- provement in the play of our line. The Dragons' of- Paqe lO2 fense was repeatedly halted by jarring tackles and the ensuing fumbles and recoveries by our seven rocks of granite in the line. Steve Boyle, Chuck Halper, Jack Cantlin, and .Bill Schroeder all recovered fumbles. Second League Game - October 8 Mustangs 6 De La Salle 0 It was on this day that a determined De La Salle team entered St. Rita Stadium, positive that they could and would break the spell the Mustangs had held over them for the past twelve years. Up to this day they were undefeated and regarded as a power- house in the league. The Mustangs were also a determined ball club. For the past twelve years Mustang squads had beaten De La Salle and this year was to be no exception. Despite the inclement weather, the m a n y fans saw a most thrilling ball game. Giant Ken Jaksy, playing a brilliant defensive game, recovered a Meteor fumble on the 3-yard line and Les Kraft cracked over for the score. The attempted conversion failed. No star of the day can be named. The entire team played -their hearts out. iEd Novak, quarterback, sparked the team both of- fensively and defensively. Jolting Joe Chopp, time and again, gained necessary yardage to keep St. Rita's offense rolling. On defense he was a brick wall in the line. Dick Ranicke, playing despite a very bad ankle, hand-cuffed the Meteors with his brilliant passing, running, and kicking. The entire line played a bril- liant and inspired game, especially on its valiant goal line stand when it refused to let D.L,S. score on four consecutive downs from the 3-yard line. lt was on the last down of this goal line stand that stellar end, Steve Boyle, diagnosed the play ccming up and hit the De La Salle ball-carrier with everything he had. The De La Salle ball-carrier did not score, but Steve lay there very pale in his muddy and water-soaked uniform, clutching his leg in agony. Steve had saved the ball game but was destined to be taken to the hospital for three weeks. l-le suffered a severely swollen and bruised leg. Luckily it was not broken. Third League Game - October 15 Mustangs 0 Mt. Carmel 51 This was a dark day for loyal Mustang supporters as the Mustangs bowed in defeat to a far-superior Mt. Carmel team 5l-O. The speedy Mt. Carmel backs and the stalwart linemen showed the Mustangs the same stuff they were to show all their other opponents be- fore becoming City-Champions. The Mustangs tried hard but were simply outclassed and outplayed. ln spite of the lopsided score the Mus- tangs tallied up ten first downs to 'Carmel's five and gained 33 yards in passing to top the Caravan's l4. Fourth League Game - October 22 Mustangs 6 Leo 27 The Mustangs, representing St. Rita in the twenty- fifth annual Mercy football classic, bowed to a gallant Leo team who showed they had the ability to come back after losing 7-6 ait the half. Approximately thirty-thousand people raved and Page IO3 cheered as the Mustangs stole the show from the vaunted Leo Loins in the first half. The Lions drew first blood early in the first quarter and pulled ahead 6-0. The Mustangs, not to be outdone, caught fire and retaliated swiftly. Sid Spoo, playing brilliantly as an offensive end, snared a pass from quarterback, Ed Novak, on the 40-yard line and brought it down to the 20. After it had been carried to the l-yard line, Ed Novak plunged over to score for the Mustangs. Rich Ranicke kicked the extra point. In the second quarter the defense of both teams was so elaborate and the tackling so vicious that neither team was able to score. After the St. 'Rita Band had furnished another bril- liant performance to terminate the half-time proceed- ings, the Mustangs and the Lions again entered the field to renew their vicious battle. The second half showed an altogether different pic- ture with Leo dominating the play by scoring a touch- down in the third period and two more in the final period. The Rita standouts in the game were Joe Chopp, who tore through and around the Leo line for sub- stantial gains, Les Kraft, the valiant 'Rich Ranicke, and Don St. John, who starred as a superb punter. Fifth League Game - October 29 Mustangs 28 Holy Trinity 7 The Mustangs finally broke into the winning column again, defeating a brave Tiger eleven 28-7. The game began with a touchdown march by the Mustangs from thier own 30-yard line to the 20-yard line of Trinity. The march was halted by a pass interception and the Tigers launched an offensive of their own. After an unhalted drive of 72 yards the Tigers finally scored on an 8-yard plunge. The conversion was made and the Tigers led 7-0. On the first play after the ensuing kick-off, Bill Thompson took off around end, and with the aid of superb blocking was never headed as he reeled off 65 yards for a Mustang score. Dick 'Ranicke tied the score with a perfect placement. ln the third quarter the Mustangs scored their final two touchdowns, both being scored by Joe Chopp. His first score came when he barrelled over right guard at midfield and traveled 50 yards untouched, and his second came on an 8-yard end sweep. Dick 'Ranicke made both conversions to give him a perfect record for the day and to make the score 28-7. Sixth and Last League Game - November 5 Mustangs 31 St. Elizabeth 0 The l95O Football Season came to a victorious finale on th-is Sunday with our Mustangs humbling the lronmen from St. Elizabeth 3l-O. Ranicke, Choipp, Thompson, and Spoo were the men who scored. Dick Ranicke made the lone conversion. This game bore great importance because it was the last game for I9 of the seniors. The team elected Joe Chopp: Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Back, and Chuck Halper: Most Valuable Lineman. Page lO4 Light eight Pnnthall The Mustang Ponies ran in six stirring races, winning one, losing four, and tieing one. The defeats were very distressing and heart-rending because they were close contests. A casual break along the course would have pro- pelled them across the finish line in the lead. This record can be grossly misrepresented if it be contrasted with the spirit, determination, and intestinal fortitude of our Lightweight team. These callow Colts will grow in stature and ability, and the Cascian will record their feats for several years.

When Fr. William Doyle was nominated Prior of St. Rita, Fr. Bernard Mc- Conville was appointed to carry on the tradi- tion of editing deluxe Cascians, and you may be the judge of the 1951 Edition by your own standards. Mr. William Fay did his tra- ditionally excellent stint as collaborationist. Mr. James Wrzesinski was Editor-ln- Chief, and edited and typed virtually the entire opus. Conrad Urbanowicz was his brilliant Assistant and will be the Chief in 1952. The important Business was executed by such a galaxy as Robert Woelfle, Joseph Wasek, James Keslin, Steve Sopron, and John Garrett. The Sports' Section was cap- ably covered by Bill Schroeder and George Kalafut. Ed Hennessey was Staff Artist and will embellish your 1952 Edition with great- er masterpieces. There, friends, is The Cascian staff for 1951. 'Woelfle -Keslin Page 126 JAMES WRZESINSKI Editor-In-Chief REV. BERNARD McSONVILLE, O.S.A. MR.

Word-renowned features of this publication include the famous Flctsam and Jetsam, which is looked for- ward to by every student, some in glee and some in gloom. A new feature incorporated in The Ritan this year was the Chaplain's Corner written by Fr. Francis X. Lawlor, O.S.A. The purpose of this column is to caution the students against the evils of the day, No paper would be complete without a comic strip. This The Ritan so ably provided in Bee Bop, the story of a modern teenager. This strip was originated and drawn by Joe Stalzer. iAnother lineament embodied in The Ritan this year were tributes to outstanding seniors. Ed Al Capo Hen- nessey conceived and executed this feature. issue there are stories and reports on happenings of im- portance to the student body. The job of selecting and editing these stories fell on the shoulders of Bob Woelfle. Although faced with many obstacles, he did an excellent job of timing the publications on schedule. The editing and selection of the humorous and un- usual stories which appeare-d on the second page can be attributed to the diligent work of Steve Derezynski, l-lis imagination and sense of humor are the main factors of his success. Steve is also a Daniel Webster. Ed Cheles, although only an amateur photographer, evolved shots that would make many a professional proud. His photographlc aoility will someday make him a success. Although only a junior, Ray Brach has proved him- self an able editor in the manner he manages the sports page. lt was up to him to obtain accurate information concerning St, Rita High School's progress in various athletic composition. Last, but far from least, come the two most important and energetic men on the staff in the personages of Fr. Hartigan, O.S.iA., and Fr. Gaffney, O.S.A. Their assistance and guidance was the inspiration of the entire staff. They do by far more in the interest of the paper and the school than the other members of the staff.

JOHN F. CASEY, 0.S.A. Moderator ST. RITA BANDIANA By Fr. J. F. Casey, 0.S.A. Once again, we are happy to report a very outstanding season for the St. Rita Band . . . lt began 'way back in the latter part of August when the entire group was banded together to prepare for the 1950-1951 year . . . Chicago pigskin devotees are still talking about the marvelous exhibition put on by the Band at the l-leralcl-American benefit game in Comiskey Park which pitted the San Francisco '49ers against the Curley Lambeau Chicago Cardinal squad . . . A week later, the Band performed in the Mardi Gras parade, an annual feature of the closing days at Riverview Park . . . Fol- lowing these two successes, the Band outdid MR. ROBERT BLACK Director themselves in the football season , . . Week after week, a stellar demonstration was per- formed at the halftimes, and the plaudits grew and grew until that remarkable show put on at the annual Mercy game at Soldier Field . . . On Columbus Day in October, the Band left the onlookers breathless as they proudly strutted down Jackson Boulevard in the Knights of Columbus parade . . . A return en- gagement was celebrated when the Band did the halftime show for the Herald-American All Star Basketball Game at the Chicago Sta- dium . . . The Minneapolis Lakers tendered us an invitation to bring the show to Minne- apolis for a three-day stand, but once again one of Petrillo's petrifying pronouncements stymied the deal . . . At this writing, the Band had contracted to appear at the Soccer games, played on Sunday afternoons on the Chicago Avenue Armory turf . . . Finally, the Concert Season came upon us with the hours and hours of painstaking rehearsals. lnterspersed with these practice sessions were the basketball Band's performances as St. Rita fought gamely to attempt winning the basketball champion- ships . . . ln May, the Band marched for vari- ous Catholic groups as they honored the Bless- ed Mother of God . . . Behind the preceding story with the re- markable successes enjoyed by the Band is one outstanding fact- Hard Work -This begins with the director, Mr. Robert A. Black, Class of l94O . . . Bandmaster Black defies descrip- tion . . . We'll just say that there is no one in this world exactly like him. , . He is the reason for the Band's outstanding showing . . . Na- turally, this fine work could not be done alone, so we salute Ray Ealey and Jim Moore for their outstanding unselfish work for the Band . . . Sylvia Fisher and her Ritanettes did much to enhance the aesthetic quality of the group . . . These girls, Janie and Lynn Clarke, Irene 3 DeMaso, Karen Kolar, Cheryl Ann McCullom, Joan Moody, Laura Ann Norvell, Maureen Rodgers, Virginia St. John, Dorothy O'Donnell, Renee Strohmaier, and Bernadine Waldron, although not St. Rita students, gave time and energy to help keep the St. Rita Band on top. The Rachford family once again demonstrated a loyalty that was hard to beat . . . Fred was the Assistant Director and George was the colorful Drum Major . . .Joe Eraci was a high- ly respected and tireless President, a credit to his Alma Mater. He was assisted by Eugene Lach, Hubert McCafferty, John Goyer, and George Rachford. Once again we come to the time when we have to say good-bye to the graduating mem- bers ofthe Band, To the following we say good- bye and thanks: Peerless Joe Eraci, Dynamic, irascible, likeable Rich Debrecht, Effusive, carefree, Wild Bill Hartnady, Diminutive, tan- talizing, Jeff Heckler, Responsible, loyal, mag- nificent Gene Lach, Dependable, rough and ready Don Mack, industrious, hard-working, friendly Mike Matusak, Last, but not least, we hail the managers: Taffy Roche, Don DiSimone, Bill Puschak, Mike Matura, and Don Ostrowski. The Cascian could add nothing but orchids to The Band, the Best in the Landl Page l3l fl- ' -it , .. ml... 4. 1 The Band Enncert After holding football and basketball fans spellbound throughout the seasons of these sports, the Band proved to all that they were more than just an excel- lent sports band. On Monday, May 7, the Band gave another of their ever-popular Band Con- certs. Wonderfully consonant sounds filled the auditorium of Gage Park High School. The Band had again, as it has for many years, thrilled the hundreds pres- ent, and from the first mellifluous tone to the heart warming finale, the music lovers were held spellbound. To the many present, the concert was more than just a concert. They thought of it as a Festival and it was just that Variety acts and specialty numbers filled the bill, diversity being the keynote throughout the evening. The long hours of practice, needed by all great musicians, have been rewarded as fully as possible. In the opinion of The Cascian, no non-professional organization has ever come close to bringing the same type and quality of entertainment as has the renowned band of St, Rita High School, , Pace l33 ,gl alinnal Hnnnr Society The National Honor Society is made up of hand- picked Seniors who through hard study and active parti- cipation in school activities have earned the privilege of becoming members of the National Honor Society. The purpose of this organization is to promote citizenship and honest leaders of tomorrow. The National Honor So- ciety in Washington, DC., sponsors talks and lectures, gives scholarships to those in need, and publishes a stu- dent magazine, Student Life, to help those with writ- ing ability to se-ek an outlet for their work. Here at St. Rita High School, there is in operation a very active branch of the National Honor Society. Un- der the direction of Fr. Wheeler, this club intends not only to help better themselves but also help those who do not have the opporunity to become members. Some students probably are under the impression that this society is composed only of so called brains who get gold certificates all the time. This isn't true at Page l34 all. This crganization is composed of boys who try to help better the school by participating in some activity. Also a boy must be a gentleman, not a sissy. -At the first meeting of the Honor Society the elec- tion of officers was held. Michael Elsen, 4-E, was elected president. The other officers are as follows: Joseph Eraci, 4-E, Vice President, .lohn Rusnak, 4-F, Secretary, William Schroeder, 4-F, Treasurer, and Richard Ranicke, 4-F, Sergeant-at-Arms. On October l8, induction of new members was held. The addition of these new members brought the total membership to 30. Fr. Wheeler is the brilliant moderator. On October 27, a Halloween Party and Dance was held. Its purpose was to help raise funds to carry on fu- ture activities. It was a complete success. Parties and other activities, along with more serious business, go to make up the Honor Society's varied program. St. Rita Bowlers BOWLING LEAGUE The league reached a new high this year under the leader- ship ot a really superlative bowler, Fr. Senke. The number of teams and players entered also climaxed the Ieague's his- tory. Fr.

Moderator frm.: .tri Page I39 Page l ALMI Our Alumni Body is vital, dynamic - a genuine credit to a great school. Its recent work was the Father Green Memorial Chapel which was notable and imperishable. The Alumni Association furnishes leads for posi- tion applicants, and offers the opportunity for education to needy scholars. The Association sponsors many fine so- cials through the year-dances and banquets -all well patronized. The Alumni News publication is a jour- nalistic gem with countless facets of informa- tion about our School and our Alumni. The Cascian is proud of the St. Rita Alumni Association, and of its energetic Moderator, Fr. Joseph A. Coyne, O.S.A. Camera ig llll j CAMERA CLUB One of the oldest clubs at St. Rita, it stimulates interest in photography as a science. The club teaches the Shutter students to shoot, develop, print, and enlarge photographs. Fr. Hennessey is the capable Moderator and an ex- pert dark-room man. He has a staff of instructors in photography, steered proficiently by Ed Cheles and Phil DuPcnt. l CISCA Cisca this year at St. Rita has possessed gigantic stature and ubiquity. Religious activity has flourished in the cultivation of virtue through prayer, the Holy Eucharist, retreats, spiritual reading and discussions, liturgy, etc. Cisca calls us to a life of Catholic Action. It urges our students to prac- tice personal holiness, to spread the Faith of Christ, and to build a Christian society. Cisca makes our boys and girls soldiers of Christ, and to build a Chris- tian society. Cisca makes our boys and girls soldiers of Christ who can trans- form the materialistic world and lead men back to God. The Cascian cites Cisca and its energetic Moderator, Father Francis Law- lor, OSA., for the finest achievement our St. Rita Chapter has written into history since its inception. Father Lawlor and his officers have revived Cisca at St, Rita, and all Chicago has taken significant notice cf their magnaninfous efforts. lfisna Page ldl Hallin Page 142 ll Pep THE PEP CLUB The spirit of St. Rita is indomitable and indestructible, but the manifes- tations of its forms and appearances are varied and exquisite. Aims and scopes of this Club are here epitomized: l. Leadership in char- acter, honor, and loyalty. 2. Possession by members of the Club of unflinching school spirit, and of their willingness and ability to communicate this spirit at athletic events 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 stu- dents and faculty was marvelous. Projects to fulfill these ideals were: l. Organization of a large and vigor- ous cheering section of real sportsmen at football and basketball games. 2. Posters, placards, noisemakers, and attractive schedules and cheers. 3. Bus transportation, game parades, dynamite-charged rallies, etc. lil RADIO CLUB This Club has grown up with our Tech Department, lt gives the members of Fr. Galloway's senior radio class a splendid chance to study the radio sci- ence in detail, their ultimate goal being qualification to obtain licenses as amateur operators. Fr. Galloway is one of the truly great leaders in this field. h i in-u lilu The Science Eluh Father Hartigan has developed at St. Rita an interest in science which surpasses in quality the regular classroom study. He has given juniors and seniors an opportunity to do research work in any field of science they enjoy, with emphasis on higher mathematics, the slide rule, and phases that appeal to these embryonic Einsteins.

Religious vocations and especially those to the priesthood were encouraged. A special appeal was made for recruits to the Augustinian Order and a determined effort made to acquaint all students with the history of the Order in the mid-west. One of the main factors in the program was the prayers said by the student body and faculty for the increase of vocations in the Church. The student body was reached by four means, namely: ll The Public Address System: Fr. O'NeilI, who was in charge of the program, spoke to the entire student body every Thursday morning with the hope that he might foster in the hearts of some of the students a vocation to the priesthood. 2l Religion Classes: During the month of March a special effort was made by all the religion teachers to answer any questions or clear up any doubts that a boy might have con- cerning his vocation in life. 37 Chapel: The necessary spiritual help in the fostering of a vocation was obtained in Chapel. 4l Display: A beautiful display depicting the work of the Augustinian Fathers through- out the country was open to the students. In closing we of the 'Cascian Staff would like to offer our congratulations to Father O'Neill for the superb job he did in conducting this program. Page l44 Model Hailrnad lil it uh MODEL R. R. CLUB This was one of the new clubs formed this year. The model rail-roading club was composed entirely of juniors and seniors. Each member had his own operating layout. Regular trips to the local yards and terminals were made. The club went down-state in Indiana to view l89O equipment still in opera- tion. The moderator was Fr. Fitzgerald. MODEL FLYING CLUB This is another newly formed club. The model flying club is open to all students and members of the faculty with an interest in building and flying model planes of all types. The purpose of this club is to inculcate an interest in gasoline models. All students and faculty are welcome, whether they have CO 2 or rubber-band powered models. A meet is hoped for this coming Spring or Summer. Mr. J. V. Callahan is the moderator ofthe flying club. f I l sr Model Flying uh Page l45 Driving lfnurse THE DRIVING COURSE Mr. Gahala, our automotive expert, taught our students to drive wisely, scientifically, and courteously. His work merited city-wide recognition. Page 146 STEPHEN DEREZYNSKI Ilratnrical lfnnlest Once again, St. Rita has sponsored an ora- torical contest for the seniors. Once again, it has enabled the select 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, composition, and the mechanics of delivery. Steve Derezynski, St. Rita's candidate to the Hearst Oratorical Contest, was, in the opi- nion of the Cascian, the best speaker. 'Th H Sanctuar FR. WILLIAM O'ROURKE, O.S.A.

Page I 4 7 BUSINESS COURSE A course constituting the necessary training for the taking up of a posi- tion in the business world, and at the same time providing adequate qualifi- cations of a well-balanced education with other correlated subjects. This course offers training for bookkeeping and commercial law with the study of mathematics, business English, and economics. Secretarial work is covered by classes in stenography and shorthand. The Business Course is a requisite for positions in commerce, office administration, finance, personnel, and C.P.A. TECHNICAL COURSES St. Rita inaugurated its Technical Courses in I936 under the leadership of Very Rever- end R. P. Fink, O.S.A. ln thirteen years it has had a phenomenal growth, and now ranks supreme in this field of Catholic secondary education in Chicago. The Technical Course combines an excellent foundation in Religion, languages, math- ematics, and academic and social sciences, with basic training in wood, metal, and ma- chine shops, specialized education in the fields of electricity, automotives, aeronautics, refrigeration and air-conditioning, mechanical and architectural drawing, and radio. CThese curricula offer a thorough foudation to well-nigh 70'k of our students for college continu- ation in engineering and science, or for substantial situations in industry.l Fr. Coyne has made our Tech Course a Junior M.l.T. He has erected the superstructure. SCIENTIFIC COURSE The scientific Course at St. Rita has been designed to give the student a fundamental training in the leading fields of physical scieces. In this course are included general science, biology, physics, and chemistry. These subjects are supplemented with elementary and advanced mathematics, Religion, and language to present well-balanced cur- ricula. The laboratory facilities here at St. Rita are modern and efficiently pre- pared to provide the student with com- plete knowledge of the sciences. This course is fundamentally essential for the preparation of the study of Medi- cine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Engineer- ing and specialized branches of these various fields. Page I48 ACADEMIC COURSE lt is the aim of the Academic Course to present a program of studies to the student intended to develop fully in him the God-given faculties of mind and body, richly endow him with the characteristics of sound mind, keen judgment, right reason, and to instill within 'him an appreciation of Catholic culture. The subjects within this course were chosen in such a manner as to provide a sturdy foun- dation for the further pursuit and preparation of the student in voca- tions sucih as law, journalism, music, art, teaching, and the Priesthood.

Page l 50 Christian nthers' Sudalit The Archcontraternity of Christian Mothers, established in Saint Augus- tine's Church at Rome, Italy, in l863, was raised to the rank ot a primary so- ciety in 1865. The Archcontraternity is under the auspices of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Childbirth, and under the patronage of St. Monica. The purpose ot the Archontraternity is to further the piety and de- votion ot members and to increase in them the love of God by special venera- tion to God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Angels, and the Saints. The Christian Mothers' Sodality is a very active club at St. Rita and is influential in many ways. lt is under the direction ot its president, Mrs. Zof- kie, and has for its moderator, Father Wheeler. It holds meetings on the third Thursday of each month during the school year. Its various activities consist ot talks, films, and card and bunco parties. A card party to help build up its monetary tund was held on Wednesday, December 6, l95O. 'wlgrl--x',f llllI-illln- . V-S1 T THE PROPAGATION OF FAITH This year the students ot St. Rita High School gave evidence that they were determined to top the list in contributions to the Propagation ot the Faith in the Chicago Area, Although the year was only half over, the gigantic sum of 555,500 had already been amassed. Besides contributing a dime or more per week, the boys also say an Our Father, Hail Mary, and the ejaculation, St, Francis Xavier, pray tor us, once each day for the missions. The boys realize that the money and prayers which they give so generously to the mis- sions will not only bring the grace ot God upon them, but also help to bring a knowledge of the Creator to many pagan lands. The Cascian congratulates Fr. Fink and Fr. Lawlor for their splendid work in this really great cause. C ST.

Rather than have her sons avenge them- selves on his murder, God took them by death at her request. She entered the Augustinian convent at Cascia, where she remained until her death. She was canonized in l900, St. Rita is our Patroness, and on her Feast, May 22, we have special devotion to l-ler and are showered with rainbows of roses frcm Her throne above upon l-ler throne in our Chapel Shrine. Since She is St. Rita of Cascia, your Cascian strongly urges your lifelong dedication to l-ler intercession, She is your sweetheart Saint, Rita is the Saint of the Impossible and The Saint of the last resortl Page l 53 if i.1 PRE-LENTEN BASEBALL DANCE A big affair in St. Rita's Annual Social Pro- gram, the Pre-Lenten Baseball Dance, was 'held in the gym on Saturday night, February 3. This gala affair had many outstanding fea- tures. The purpose of the Dance was to obtain funds to support the many baseball teams here at St. Rita. The amount of money necessary to maintain and supply the baseball teams was very great but the returns from the Baseball Dance did a great deal to defray the gigantic expenses. A very large crowd was on hand and it was evident that everyone enjoyed themselves. Fr O'Malley was fortunate enough to procure the services of Johnny Lewis and his Orchestra, the top bracket band that produced the dance music. Y 'UW NH? XX' 'I 1 Z T 1 ,, V -4. F ' ,Nia .

The suc- cessful affair took place at Flynn's Hall at 63rd Street and Kedzie Avenue. Reservations were made for approximately two hundred and fifty people. The roast beef dinner, which was complete, as they say, from soup to nuts, was the talk of the evening. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the delicious repast. Most prominent among the speakers were the following: Very Rev. Clement C. McHaIe, OSA., f 1lr1 Q Provincial of the Augustinian Order in the Mid-West, Very Rev. R. P, Fink, O.S.A., Rector of St. Rita High School, Mr. C. C. Chuck Collins, one of the famed Seven Mules of Notre Dame football fame, and now president of the National Carloading Corporation, Judge William V. Daly of the Municipal Court in Chicago and a former St. Rita graduate, Alderman Edward Vyzral of the l5th ward, and Alderman Egan of the l3th ward. Mr, Tommy Kouzmanoff, Prep Sports' Editor of the Chicago l-lerald-Ameri- can, was the very capable and witty toast- master for the evening. A letter sent by Bud Gardner was read by Mr. Badke. Everyone present enjoyed and appreciated this letter from our most loyal trainer. Joe Chopp and Chuck Halper received special honor during the evening when they were presented with beautiful trophies in recognition of their football feats during the past season. Chopp was selected as the out- standing backfield man and l-lalper as the outstanding lineman by their teammates. Rev. Joseph l-lartman, in his brief but appreciative talk to the varsity, commended them on their team spirit and hard fight during the season, l-le also announced, in his capacity as director of athletics, the monogram winners. Praise and congratulations are due to the Fathers' Club for the fine evening of enter- tainment and pleasure which it provided to the deserving varsity football team. Special tribute, too, is due to Mr. Allen Stone and his hard-working committeemen, and also to Rev. Daniel Hartigan, moderator of the Fathers' Club. Because of their unstinting efforts one of the most memorable of Foot- ball Banquets was made possible.

The first prize, a l95l Tudor Dodge Sedan, was won by B. Kandich. The Ford Tudor Sedan, the second prize, was won by Mae M. Collins. Steve V. Sivridon won the third prize television set. The work of the student body was amply rewarded with various commis- sions and awards. The Cascian wishes to communicate to all the friends of St. Rita High School the gratitude and appreciation of our Rector, The Very Reverend R. P.

Mr. R. Schumacher, owner of Schuma- cher's Pawn Shop, 749 W. Maxwell St., realized that the book which Mr. Steve Boyle was trying to pawn was a fake. He immediately summoned Officer Phil Du- Pont and they attempted to arrest Mr. Boyle. Mr. Boyle, hcwever, escaped the arm of the law by running swiftly from the shop. Metropolitan police are still looking for him. The book, by the way, was Four Years with the Hammer and Sickle, by Richard Zeludziewicz. Mr. Zeludziewicz has just returned from the Soviet Repub- lic, where he spent the past five years engineering the 'Russian steps into a more modern escalator. TRIPS PROF. WRZESINSKI TO HEAD FIRST FLIGHT It was officially announced today by Francis Dorigan, Chancellor of the Exche- quer, that the noted scientist, journalist, and editor of the LPrevariciator, James Sampson Wrzesinski would head the first trip 'to the moon ever attempted by man. lf the trip is successful the first scheduled air service between the Earth and the Moon will be begun by the 'Bro- gan-lFIynn Space Co. The first flight will be made in a spe- cially desigined airship, The Spacebis- cuit, with Harry Bulger, senior pilot for the company, at the controls. The men who will accompany Prof. Wrzesinski are Richard Gornick, Rog Gendron, Bob Do- biais, Bill Coogan, John Cantlin, Bob 'El- sen and Joe Chopp. These men were hand-picked by Prof. Wrzesinski because of their outstanding scientific ability. The plans for the venture extend back many years. Prof. Wrzesinski has worked his head to the bone in making plans and the success of the venture is largely due to work done by him, His grea-test contri- bution was his calculaition, whereby he figured that if a right turn instead of a left turn would -be made at Venus, 84 million miles would be cut off the trip, thereby saving an hour's time. lf and when passenger service between the 'Earth and the Moon is ever begun a great number of prodigious innovations will be made. The passenger .service will be operated on a regularly-ruin schedule, with flights run every eight hours. Spe- cial lavish and plush hotel facilities have been arranged lat the Joseph Eraci space- port on the moon. Accommodations at this hotel can be had only by reservation made at least two years beforehand. This precautionary measure is necessitated by the huge throngs expected when the moon has open house. 'Even more crowds are expected when the White Sox move their ball park up to the moon. BEGUN SOCIETY COLUMN Ah! Spring is here! Oh, I can tell be- cause Les Kraft, 'Ed Beliveau, Joe Zbyl- ski, Mike Gedwell, Jack Volz, Jim Peifer, and George Kalafut were seen picking up daisies in the park. 'After iseeing these daisies Jack Miller, Rich Debrecht, Bob Dobias, Greg Lickus, Tom Shirley, and Jack Flynn have decided to take a mail order course in horticulture. Last week I attended the coming out party of three post debs. Of course with their new gowns they couldn't have come out much more. Many prominent Rita men were seen there casing the ioint and taking in the sights or should I say taking out the sights. George Schranz, Phil Du- Pznt, 'Pete Fenlon, Jack Cantlin, 'Ed Gra- hovec, Ed Franz, Don Kendryna, and Steve Boyle all seemed to be enjoying themselves. QOT STARTING SUNDAY IN THE PREVARICATOR The first installment cf Molly, or The Story of a 'Good Girl by 'Mike El- sen will appear as a weekly feature in the Prevaricator starting the I2th.

Pete Periad's PAILVNOE - Come In and Eat Before We Both Starve to Death .As the closing days of school creep slowlly upon us we won-der what we have got out of school. We became 'bored of education or educated bores. -Remember our first day at St, 'Rita, satchel in hand, disrupting classes, in- quiring where room I0 wiais? And on ar- riving at room lO, our learning was short-lived because the bell rang at our arrival? 'We did get a big kick out of chang- ing classes. We never did that in grade school. Remember the first jug we received? We were pretty scared at first, but when it was all over we would approach our buddies and boldly say, l got 5 hours. We would watoh the admiration in tiheir eyes as they asked the questions, How was it? 'Did they treat you rough? And we would nonchalantly reply, Oh, it was nothing. Ho hum! And that first high school football game we went t-o, wi-th 'Rita playing! fWe never saw so many girls yelling at the same timeli The 'heartbreak we had when the Mustangs lost! Tihe gladne-ss that we felt when they won! And that streetcar ride home! We sang more c-heers on the Streetcar than we did at the game! Four years is a short time, as Father Time cuts it with his scythe, and despite the home-work, the quarterly Inquisition sweatshops, and trying to appease that pedagogical marftinet, we Seniors will al- ways remember St. 'Rita as the 'school that gave us our start along life's tenor and vicissitudes.

'J CHICAGO WHITE SOX PAY CHICAGOAN BOWLS FOUR LAKERS SIGN STAR ROOKIE 51,000,000 BONUS TO TWO PLAYERS lt was officially announced today by Robert Komendant, owner of the Chicago White Sox, that he had just paid a 5l,000,000 bonus to Joe Sideburns Pavletic and Dave Kasha, so that they would play ball with the Sox for the next three years. Both players have just graduated from Subnormal U., where they both starred in baseball. Last year Pavletic batted a cool .898 and had a fielding average of .lO0l. He also led his teams in runs scored. Kasha was clean-up man and bat- ted .95O. He landed up eighth in batting on his team. ln a statement to the press, Sox man- ager Ed Shipanek said, the reason for the additional men was that he planned to win the pennant for the next three years. Coach Ray Zegadlo said land we quotel, Wit Such snazzy guys we can't help but snatch de rag. Last year the Sox won the pennant partly due to the magnificent, almost sen- sational playing of pitcher Leon Witczak, the runner-up in the hitting division with a .850 percentage, and the superb catch- ing of Art Barba, Tom Vidra, the 'Pale House ace-in-the-hole pitcher, won forty- four out of forty-six game-s last year, pitching thirty-five of them with a broken arm. Because of this spectacle of power the Red Sox and the Yankees are seriously contemplating their withdrawal from the major leagues. CONSECUTIVE 300 GAMES Today in the Golden Gate City, Mr. Andrew 'Piotrowski of Chicago blasted into the lead in the l95l A.'B.'C. Tour- nament by bowling four consecutive 300 games. This seemingly impossible feat was accomplished under very trying con- ditions. Mr. Ken Sawa, his erstwhile op- ponent, tried to foul Mr. Piotrowski's chances by stuffing the third hole of his ball with plaster of Paris. Mr. Piotrowski, however, continued his streak by bowling with two fingers. In the first of his perfect game series Piotrowski bowled 3Ol, but the judges retracted this, claiming that the pin boy's wooden leg did not count. T01 SAM RICOBENE PICKS LONG SHOT AT SANTA ANITA Sam Ricobene, noted South Side play- boy and famous man-abou-t-town, today rose above the plane of mortal man, His almost uncanny skill in the Sport of Kings has netted him a clear profit of S896,958,742.99, a result of a lucky hunch, as he calls it. His faith in Mr. George Stanley's horse, Southern Com- fort, was rewarded when Southern Comfort came in and paid 377 to l odds to win. Mr. 'Ricobene is now in the Holy Cross Hospital recovering from shock. Joe 20 to l Donato, hand-book op- erator who took Sam's 75c bet, told news- men that he planned to purchase a small chicken ranch somewhere far from Chi- cago. He said, I want to go somewhere far, far away from horsesvl hate 'em. lt was announced today by Joe Kratzer, President and player-coach of the Minne- apolis Lakers, thait the Lakers had just signed George Harhen, sensational rookie forward, to a ten year contract. George matriculated at Kentucky U. where he be- came famous the world over for his sen- sational, prodigious, and amazing half- court hook shot. This is especially amaz- ing since George is all thumbs. He also became widely known as a dead shot. In his last year at Kentucky he- played 22 games in which he took a total of lO0l shots. Out of these lO0l shots George connected on i000 for a total of 2000 points. The only shot he missed was a lay-up shot which rolled up and over the backboard. After his sensational college career George received a multitude of profes- sional offers. He decided to accept the Lakers' offer because they offered him a Sl0,000 a year salary, a 550,000 bonus, 2 Pontiac Convertibles, and 50 all-day suckers. He will begin practising with the Lakers in about two weeks. At this time George is making a world- wide tour displaying his basketball tal- ents. Accompanying him on this tour are: Dan Fitzgerald, Joe Vitello, John Picci- one, John Owens, and Tom Vidra. Pete Fenlon is managing the tour along with Ken Jaksy and Don Moonan. We in Chicago will not get a chance to see the Lakers and their hardwood stars until next month. A ,I f ANNUAL THE PREVARICATOR 'QARQLE BOARD HELP WANTED HELP WANTED MEETING TODAY State Prison, June 6-llAPl The State Parole Board consisting of ten members convened Saturday to discuss the parole of Walter Obrochta, income tax evader. iMr, Obriochita, was arrested and sen- tenced in April, 1950, to serve six years in the State lPenitentiary. He owed the government approximately S574,113.63. At the height of his career, Obrochta controlled numerous gambling establish- ments and was the power behind many political bosses in the city. His underhand workings were discov- ered by government agents, Jack McDon- ough and 'Dave 'Parker. G-men obtained valuable evidence and records used in the prosecution of the underworld thug, mobster Pete Zelkiovich, who has been a police informer for some time. The parole board was constituted of Messers. 'Frank Walrath, lEd Zalig, Casper Thielman, Gerald Styler, Ed Stozek, Geo. Schranz, Jack Plhillip-s, Tom Oliver, Leo Koet, and Don M'dEllistrom. Lol. DAM TO BE ERECTED IN THE FUNERAL MOUNTAINS Sacramento, Cal., June 5-lU'Pl After years of intensive preparation and survey, Charles Lux, government engineer, an- nounced today that he is going to build a dam in the Funeral Mountains on the edge of Death Valley. lits construction will be financed partly by his own funds, and the erection will start within a few months. This, project,'f says Mr. Lux, Will make Death Valley-a pleasure resort, out of the desolate spot, for the United States the year around. In the winter the dam will be frozen and used for 'ice skating, and during the su-mmer iit will be used for bathing. Of course, he added, the water will not be used for drinking purposes. The project was recently submitted to public criticism, which is raging daily. Says Mr. Tom Doyle, head of the U. S. Utilities Corp., Mr. Lux is not only squandering his own funds, but will also needlessly consume the tax payers. Be- cause of the intense heat, it will be noth- ing but a mud hole three-fourths of the year. -MEN- - WOMEN - COUNSELOR lmalel for girls' camp.
