THE TALHJCLUB N December 22, 1944, the Fortier Stamp Club was organized. Having for its pur- pose the promotion of greater interest in stamp collecting and in the stamp collector, the club has progressed rapidly since the appointment of Mr. Emile Schillio as faculty advisor. Member- ship cards were printed, and the officers, who are Simon Ball, president, Chris Bosch, vice-presi- dent, Adolph Deutschmann, secretary, and Rich- ard Hagen, treasurer, were elected. Meetings are held every other Wednesday in Room 400 at 3:30 p. m. and at these meetings members trade stamps among themselves, thus en- larging their collections. Another feature of the meetings is the tracing of the life history of a rare stamp-its year of issue, type of paper, prin- ter, and other points of interest. Prospective members are not required to have any specific amount of stamps. There has already been one stamp exhibit, and next year a larger club with many more activities is hoped for. Members of the Stamp Club are, left lo right, first row: Ralph Lincks, Marvin Breen, john Fritschler, Simon Ball, Michael Hirsch, Ralph Lindrley, John Bailey, Edward Cresapg second row: Robert Hawthorne, Adolph Deulschmamz, Chris Bosch, Augustus Hirsch, Wfilliam Storms, lVilliam French, Herbert Burar, Ferdinand Schaff, and Prof. Emile Schillio, Faculty advisor.

J GOTBALL A JACK PIZZANO Head Football Conch Assistant Coaches Pete Maibles, Cecil Carver, and Joseph Abraham. S the curtain rose upon this year's version of that perrenial drama known as Prep Sports , we find the 1944 Tarpon gridders tak- ing their places for the first act a little backstage as the most' inexperienced and untried cast present, with little past and a dubious future. The only name meriting star billing is the lone returning letterman, Captain Leonary Duby Grosz. The program announces that the Tarps will use for the first time in their history the famous T formation. Head Coach jack Piz- zano, assisted by Coaches Pete Mailhes, Cecil Car- ver, Stanley Fitzpatrick, and Harold Heidings- felder, nods dutifully toward the director and the play is on. H Fortier? 0: Newman 7 , In a surprise, to end all surprises the Tarps lost to a rugged gathering from the Isidore New- man High school, 7 to 0 before 200 fans at City Park Stadium in a non-league warm-up. The lightweight Newmans registered their lone tally in -the first period when they set the highly fav- ored over-confident Fortier boys back on their heels. After recovering a fumble on the Tarp 15-yard line, Gamble split the middle for 12 yards, and on the next play Wilson Shirley from a T dropped a pass into Sam Sander's arms in the Fortier end zone. Another pass, Shirley to Gamble, clicked for the extra point. Fortier 14: Peters 6 ln their first prep league game the Tar- pons bounced into the win column with a 14-6 victory over the Peters Wildcats at City Park. Climaxing a drive which began at the start of the second quarter on the For-tier 43, White, after an 18-yard saunter, crossed the Peters' goal line standing up. Mailey kicked the extra point. With but a minute and 20 seconds remaining in the first half, the Wildcats struck back. Recov- cring a Tarp fumble on the Fortier 36-yard line, Foss, Peters quarterback, after one play which netted 10 yards, faded back and heaved a nice pass to Laurie, who took it on the 3-yard stripe and scored. The try for extra point failed. The Tarpons scored their final touchdown in the third period on a pass from White to Belas after White had returned a punt from his own 37 to Peters' 37. Mailey again kicked the extra point. Fortier 6: St. Aloysius 28 In their second prep league game the Tarps bowed 28 to 6 to a fast and shifty Crusader team before 5000 fans. The Saints' first stringers started early and scored three times. Retiring after the first quarter in favor of the under- studies, they came back in the last stanza and chalked up another tally. Breaux made all the extra points. The Tarpons scored their only touchdown on a recovered fumble on the Saints' 18-yard line. After several plays White skirted around end and dived over the goal for the score. Mailey missed the try for the extra point. Page Fifty-four
