FROM THE EARLY BEGINNINGS OF THE WORK OF FATHER BONIFACE WIMMER AND FOUR COMPANIONS AT BEATTY, PENNSYLVANIA, BENEDICTINE MONASTICISM HAS SPREAD, THROUGH ITS NINETEEN ABBEYS AND PRIORIES, TO ALL PARTS OF THE HEMISPHERE. TO MARK THIS EVENT, AND THE TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF BENEDICTINE HIGH, WE MODEL OUR ANNUAL. ANDREW’S ABBEY and Benedictine High School trace their lineage to Monte Cassino 'k —1 and St. Benedict. St. Andrew’s is the daughter of St. Procopius Abbey, Lisle, Illinois which has its beginnings at St. Vincent’s Archabbey, Latrobe, Penn- sylvania. It in turn sprang from St. Michael’s Abbey, Metten, Bavaria which ultimately originated at Monte Cassino, Italy. illillUlifli Otoentp pears! ago Benedictine High School completes its twentieth year of functioning with the close of the present school term. On September 15, 1927, the first regis- tration, enrolling thirty-one students, took place at St. Andrew’s Parish on Super- ior Avenue. In 1929, however, the scene was trcnsfered to the remodeled St. Mary’s Orphanage on Buckeye Road, which became the first Benedictine High School. In 1931, thirty-one students, were the first to receive diplomas from the school. The enrollment gradually increased, and plans for a new modern building were drawn up. Finally, in 1940, the new school on East Bou]evard was ready for occupation. The technical department in the new school helped boost the stu dent body. During the war, it played an important part in supplying much of needed machinists as well as manufacturing war materials. In the two decades, more than twelve hundred students have been gradu- ated. Today the enrolment is well above the thousand mark and plans for ex- pansion are already being effected by the construction of the new buildings. In the American atmosphere it has helped to preserve the heritage of the Slovak people, whose generosity caused its be:ng. Among contemporaries, it has met and equalled the best in providing for its wards the benefits of faith and learn- ing for their lives of time and eternity. With new hopes and prospects of pro- gress and expansion, our Benedictines Fathers cannot, with the aid of God, fail to continue in, their fruitful efforts in the cause of genuine Christian education. The Senior Class and student body hope and pray that their Alma Mater may continue to enjoy this singular success for years to: come. Home of Jfacultp t. «hereto's Uiticp BT. ANDREW’S ABBEY, a daughter of St. Procopius Abbey, Lisle, Illinois, originated in 1822 when Rev. Stanislaus Gmuca, O.S.B., was sent to Cleveland, Ohio, as pastor of St. Andrew's Church. It became an inde- pendant priory in 1829 with the election of Rev. Gregory Vaniscak as prior. In 1934 the priory was elevated to the status of an abbey and Father Stanislaus was elected first abbot. In 1946 Abbot Stanislaus resigned and Rev. Theodore Kojis was chosen second abbot at the canonical election on June 19th. At pre- sent there are attached to the abbey, 43 priests, eleven clerics, six novices, eight brothers and twro brother-postulants. The Fathers in addition to teaching at the abbey high school also have charge of parishes in the dioceses of Cleveland, Steubenville, Superior, Eelleville, the Archdiocese of Chicago and the dioceses of Sault Ste. Marie and Hamilton, Canada. They publish a monthly periodical, Ave Maria”, for the Slovak Catholics of America. tictncate THIS ISSUE OF THE BENEDICTINE ANNUAL TO THE RT.

REV. THEODORE KOJIS, O. S. B., second Abbot of St. Andrew’s Abbey was blessed on A Aug. 29, at St. Benedict’s Church. Bishop Edward F. Hoban bestowed the blessing on the new Abbot with Abbot Mark Brawn, O. S. B., president of the Casinese Congregation, and Abbot of St. Gregory’s Abbey, and Archabbot Alfred Koch, O. S. B., of St. Vincents Archabbey, Latrobe, Pa. Out J cesibent WE DEEPLY APPRECIATE the interest and friendly concern of the Rt. Rev. Abbot Theodore Kojis, O.S.B. His kind words to the student body have always been an inspiration. At 41, Father Abbot is the youngest Bene- dictine abbot in the . United States. He was born in Slovakia and came, while still young, to this country. Pie studied at St. Procopius College and completed his Theology at St. Mary’s Seminary. He has been a member of the Bene- dictine faculty since May, 1936, when he was or- dained by the late Archbishop Schrembs. Formerly, he taught algebra, geometry, La- tin, and Slovak at the school. Noted for his teaching ability, his elevation is a loss to the fac- ulty, but at the same time a gain to the com- munity. In (Demoriam IN HIS WORK as diocesan Superintendant, Bishop Hagan has done much to standardize the schools in the interests of finer education. Although a major contributor to the advance of education, he has remained a singularly humble person, greatly loved by all. He was ordained on March 7, 1914, by Cardinal Pom- pei after completing his studies at North American Col- lege in Rome. He then assisted, at several parishes be- fore being made superintendant of schools. His death has left a great void in the Diocese. O Bisliop IN BISHOP HOBAN, the Cleveland Diocese has a leader in ability, noble in character, and ambitious for the future. Not only does he have a complete education and a knack of reaching the hearts of his people, but also a character which commands respect and disposition fitting his office. His tasks have been great, but the headway he has made is even greater. Under his direction, Cathedral Square has been changed into one of the most imposing structures in the country. He has encouraged us to be- come better citizens and above all, better soldiers of Christ. REV. METHOD GRANCIE O.S.B.

ROBERT WILKES, O.S.B. BATHER RAPHAEL and Father Robert are the -12nd and 43rd or- dained members of St. Andrew’s Abbey. Father Raphael was born in Lakewood on January 10, 1921 and attended St. Christo- pher’s Parish school. Father1 Robert, born on January 1, 1921, attended St. Benedict’s Parish school. Both were graduated from Benedictine High School with honors, after participating in many school activities. Together, they continued their college studies at St. Benedict’s, Atcheson, Kansas and returned to Cleveland to St. Joseph Seminary. After a year of Novitiate in Kansas the two Ordinandi received their Minor Orders last year and were elevated to the Sacred Priesthood on May 31 of this year by Bishop Hoban. On June first, Father Raphael celebrated his First Solemn Mass at St. Christopher’s Parish, Rocky Ri- ver; Father Robert sang his First Solemn Mass at St. Benedict’s Church MULTOS ANNOS. Benedictine student had an excellent opportunity to attend Holy Mass and receive Holy Communion every morning in the high school chapel. His school day was perfectly begun with the eight-fifteen services, pro- moting vividly the Benedictine Motto: Work and Pray. Father Augustine, School Chaplain, said Masses for the deceased relatives of the students. The entire homeroom would atend, expressing their condolence. i m_ii.iui.hjiumuum n mnn;.-■ mini: u ARCHABBOT BONIFACE WIMMER, O.S.B.

Class of “47 OHE Senior Class of 1947 is the largest to graduate from Benedictine High School. Its boosted total of 210 young men was greatly due to the return of many war veterans who realized the need of education in the future world. The Class’ graduation will mark the end of the twentieth scholastic year of Benedictine in Cleveland. The social events of the seniors were enthu- siastically endorsed by them all. The initial event was a skating party which came through a success. There followed socials with the Cath- olic academies of Greater Cleveland and other dances which were open to all. The athletic events of the year were also an asset to the school. The football team, although not quite a championship squad, displayed such might as to make other schools respect it. The basketball team continued to be a potential pow- erhouse, sparked by four seniors. The year 1946-47, the last that the seniors s ent at Benedictine was one which was high- lighted by many events and one in which manv changes altered the building and the grounds of the school. The enrollment, which reached a re- cord high of well over 1000, astonished even those expected Benedictine to to expand. In departing, the seniors hope that the Class of ’48 will continue to bring prestige and a good name upon Benedictine High School. REV. CYRIL NOVOTNY, O.S.B.

Ppgone Baps FTER TWO YEARS of quiet waiting members of the class of ’48 now bear the coveted tit’e of upperclassmen. Emerging from beneath a scrambled heap of lowerclassmen, they have at last come into their own. Obedi- ence , humility and obscurity was their lot before. Now their station is much different. Instead of being ignored, they are respected; instead of offering cour- tesy, they accept it; instead of being unnoticed, they now become prominent. With their elevation, they are proudly displaying the class ring. As upperclassmen, they have accepted their responsibilities with all the seri- ousness that is required. From now on they will carry the reputation of the school; to uphold it, to nourish it, to further it. i 947 I down Jgh fir: the pound ft ways among the firs student’.'.

The Benedictines through history have al- ways endeavored to develope the noblest prerogative of man’s nature-------his sociability. Benedictine High School continues this endeavor through the numer- ous extra curricular activities. lUHiiMiiniMfttimiHtii Left to right - standing: C. Pipan, J. Orosz, F. Ma- lee, W. Grden, J.

Enders. legion of iWarj GHE LEGION OF MARY, initiated only two years ago, and due mainly to the determination of its members, has steadily progressed into a thriving organization. Early in the year, the Legion elected Tom Martin and Don Turchan as officers, and entrusted them.; with the task of guiding the Legion to further heights. Under the spiritual guidance of Father James, the Legion has undertaken such spiritual activities as outdoor May devotions, and book drives for the Mis- sions. The most successful of these was 700 pounds of books which were sent to the Phillipines. Its main, purnose, however, is to promote a greater devotion to the Blessed Virgin among all Benedictine boys. BREQUENT RECEPTION of the Holy Eucharist is highest on the Knights’ list of spiritual activities. Daily Mass is held in the school chapel to give'each a chance to receive. During the Mass, they chant the Missa Recitata, sing in a body, or say the rosary. Another of their activities was the “Gaudeamus” Mission show, he’d the evening of April 18. Its purpose was to push the school’s Mission collection over the top. Helping make it a success were Mario D’Alanno, Louis Huber, John Mihalko, Carl Uhler, Ralph Bodziony and Ed Dvorak. The group was organized and conducted in its first year by the school Chap- lain, Father Augustme. Winning the first elections were Mario D’Alanno, John Mihalko, and Carl Uhler, as president, secretary, and treasurer respeetive’y. 2£ntgfjt£ of Holy Left to right - standing: J. McNeely; J.

NEWLY ORGANIZED STUDENT COUNCIL at Benedictine is another doing which will raise the school to superiority in education. In propor- tion to the size of the classes, it was decided to elect five seniors, four juniors, three sophomores two freshmen, and one veteran. The goal of the Stu- dent Council is to provide a system of communication between the students and the teachers. The students should bring forth their opinions through the Stu- dent Council. It will handle all the troub’es that brew among the students The Student Council will harmonize with the authority of the school in re- gard to social affairs and do its part to assist in extra curricular activities. It will: keep up all the traditions and customs of the school. A strong foundation for any school is a sturdy Student Council. S tut ent Council Left to right - standing: J. Perm; S. Evans; F.

If a student is present in the hallways he must have a permit authorized by one of the teachers. The student is other- wise stopped at the end of the hallway by a hall guard. Hall Guards are efficient boys extracted from the various study periods by Father Method, the Principal. They are sworn in and given badges to show their authority. Their work is to keep every student in the hall quiet. If no permission for be;ng in the hall is had, the hall guard is instructed to take him to the office. Any student not obeying the hall guards is subject to severe treatment before the Student Council. i u i i i i (5 «' v i v i «vu m s u v v i! b «« i s i J3nnb BENEDICTINE HIGH SCHOOL BAND, under the ba- ton of Mr. Jack Hearns, swells the strains of the Alma Mater and fight song with seventy-five instruments. Seven members are senior and sixteen juniors. Sophomores and freshmen make up the remaining number. The band won honors at the annual Charity Football game, duplicating their feat of last year. Richard Matousek was drum major for the past football season, during which exceptional maneuverability was displayed. The marching band played at every football game. The officers elected were Joe Micuch, president; Harry Krial, vice- president: Rudy Horvath, secretary; Mel Miklus, treasurer; and Clarence Franko, sargeant-at arms. The seven seniors who bid farewell this year are Joe Micuch, Bob Toth, Harry Krial, Gene Hertrick, Mel Werner, Don Turchan and Ed Shelling. Those mentioned above are monogram winners for their services. The occasions at which the band participated during are countless. It combined with the Holy Name band at the first Arena basketball game: the second game we combined with St. Ignatius. Both are under the direction of Jack Hearns. The combined bands of Ho y Name. St. Ignatius, and Bene- dictine sponsored a concert at the Music Hall. Classica1 and pop- ular numbers were the outstanding music of the evening.

Most of the important news stories first “break” in the Bennet, where it can be depended upon to be complete and concise. The feature stories reflect the spirit of the school life, and the little re- vealing incidents which make good reading. The extra-curricular doings are revealed in the articles on characters of the month, clubs of all sorts, and the gossip columns. Usually a play or social event is announced many weeks in ad- vance and all details are given. Accomplishments of both student and faculty are combined with brief personal sketches and interesting highlights. The editorials deal with problems and topics of vital interest to all students and offer spiritual, moral and intellectual advice. However large or small a sub- ject may be, it is treated with due consideration by the Editorialists. The sports page of the Bennet has been one of the most successful in the city due in great deal to the accomplishments of the respective1 teams. Moreover, each game makes the headlines, either in a pregame write-up or in a report on the outcome. Action and group photos are snapped with a new, complete camera outfit, and cartoons are drawn by the school’s ranking artist. Upperclass members of the Bennet, which incidentally means “blessed,” have formed the Benedictine chapter of the “Quill and Scroll,” honor society for high school journalists. With1 Fr. Luke as moderator the society’s chief aim is to better their writing talents and promote journalism in the school. Left to right - standing: W. Grden, L. Hudik, Mr. Pastor, L. Kresja, R. Cher- vanek.

OWICE during the school term, members of: the Dramatics Club are chosen to play fictitious names and personalities and to become well known as characters in the drama or comedy selected by Father George, director and moderator. The plays during the past year were “The Masterful Monk”, leads enacted by Dorothy Smiley and Wilfred Grden, and an unforgetable comedy, “Spring Green”, whose leading characters were Helen Bockoff and Robert David. Both “The Masterful Monk” and “Spring Green” were most fitting and adap- ted to the present day. A strange love affair, conversions, the evils of the pre- sent day world, and a final, solution for combating these evils were combined to make “The Masterful Monk” modern and yet tense and exciting to the final cur- tain. The experiences of an awkward country boy in an entirely different environ- ment, that of lively teen-agers, make up the main plot of “Spring Green”. T. Newton Todd’s (Charlie Luckowski) interest in earthworm culture made him the town’s laughing stock, but, at the climax, he took all the prizes, Including his best girl and a large sum of money. Behind the scenes, busily painting props and putting up scenery, is our trusty stage hand, Fr. Cyril. Whenever any properties or special effects are needed, he is the one to see. Memebers agree that most of their success is due to the effort and efficiency of Fr. George He has made the prime purpose of the club the providing of the best in wholesome entertain- ment. FR.

The officers for the year were Robert Alevovich, Ronald Zavesky, and James Schmotzer. At reg- ular meetings, business was discussed, matches were played, and chess problems solved. Games were also held with other schools. In an exhibition game with Cathedral Latin, our team was the victor with a score of 4-0. With the ob;‘ect of helping to train the mind in observation and in being a good loser, the members strive for their ultimate goal . . . “Checkmate!” CljeSS Club $fjoto Club OHE PHOTO CLUB, another in the line of educational groups, was organ- ized at Benedictine to answer the request of many enthusiastic “foto” fans. Under the guidance of Father Cyril, the club has, “developed” into a flou- rishing organization. Due to the growing popularity and trend for more modern cameras and photographic methods, Father Cyril knew that his members would need instruction in repairing and remodeling of present equipment.

These boys are active scholastically, with many of them on the honor roll. “Boarders,” as they are amicably called, are found serving as class officers and members of the Student Council. A few of the boys who are musically inclined contribute, their abilities to the Band. Benedictine holds a great attraction to these boys, who temporarily give up the love of home life to attend school here. These boys are an example of the spirit of Benedictine.

Mandula was elected, vice-presi- dent, both being ably assisted by Fathers Armand and Louis. The Dads Club, organized to further a close understanding between, the home and school, has great hopes for a mutual relationship which will help every boy. attending Benedictine. Under their direction, a banquet was given at the Cleveland Hotel in honor of our champion basketball team. The banquet, attended by over 1200 people, was heralded as a great civic event. Among those present were Mayor Thomas Burke, Mr. Don Miller of four horsemen fame, the Abbot and many distinguished jurists. Later on, card parties and picnics were sponsored by them. Tuition has been paid .for several boys whose parents are unable to' provide a Catholic education, or for those who may have been so unfortunate as to lose both parents. As their climax of the ’46-’47 school year, the Dads sponsored a raffle for a 1047 Pontiac at a bazaar held in the school auditorium. This undertaking netted the school over $20.000. Under the direction of vice-president J. Clark and Mr. W. Bouhall, the raffle and bazaar was acclaimed a huge success.

The date October 25, 1946. The time: 8:00 P.M. The occasion: the annual home-coming. Who was there? Why, several hundred Alumni of Benedictine. Midst the cheering on of their former team, they renewed friendships, met old acquaintances, and talked of the good old days at Benedictine. Thev were surprised to see how each had chang d; they dis.ussed their present activities and futures whi’e enjoying the at- mosphere they had left behind when they graduated. Although the game wasn’t won by Benedictine, these alumni left the Stadium with the feeling that tney were once again just plain boys, and willing to give their all for, “dear old” Al- ma Mater. Consequently, the next meetrng of the Alumni Association was attended by many more alumni. Father Eernard, moderator, noticed this and saw to it that the club was renewed and ready to start in strong fashion Officers: elected were Joseph Kralovic, president; Paul Mlcoch. vice-presidrnt; John Kulka, treas- urer; and Carl Reese, secretary. Various activities, such as dances, socials, pic- nics, raffles and snorts events are discussed with gusto at each meeting. To prove that they had not lost much of their athletic prowess, the1 Alumni once again took on the faculty at their annual basketball game. The Alumni were favored, for their ranks have grown, while the faculty has onlv, become a yearolder. However, they were again victims of the still energetic faculty. Besides a social, the Alumni held a dance on Januarv 25, which was among the largest in the school’s history — another example of what a spirited organ- ization can do. In the twenty year history, of Benedictine, about 700 bovs have graduated The regular members of the Association hope that they are the fore-runners of these other potential members. J ANY A SLEEPLESS NIGHT was spent by the members of the annual staff (II in planning the course of the yearbook. Ideas were put forth, criti- m cized, remolded and finally entered with pride into the yearbook. Plans for type, color, and style were made and remade until finally accepted. The entire annual staff was chosen by the senior class moderator, Father Cyril, immediately upon the inauguration of the new school year. With speed and accuracy emphasized, the staff set down to earnest work on the project. They were determined to make a book which would bring fond memories to any student glancing back through the years. Assignments were given out to cover all clubs and activities in the school. Stories were written and photo- graphs taken. Slowly, the book began to emerge from the depths of planning into the light of reality. While the staff of editors was forging ahead with the1 completion of the an- nual, it had one eye fixed on the activities of the business staff. It was agreed that there would be no ads' placed in the book and the sole source of backing would be patrons. It had to pass out patron blanks to the students and,keep up an advertising campaign. It was indeed a job. The entire staff is thankful for the he’p received and hope this book will bring back pleasant memories of a great year. Len Raimer Editor Left to right - standing: T. Martin, D.

WITH THE COOL BRISK FEELING OF AUTUMN in the air, a squad of willing and energetic boys began tossing the pigskin around. Day after day they came to practice until they slowly showed signs of ripening. Strenuous scrimmages followed until the opening game with Holy Name. A smart and eager team entered the field amid loud cheers and with tense feeling in their bodies. The first half showed the; going was not easy with the Namers leading, 6-0. Then a refreshed team came on the field in the second half. Owing to numerous breaks, they could ransom only a 6-6 tie. (continued on next page) Left to right - seated: R. Urda. E. Missig, E.

The Bengals started their Senate drive with a 25-0 victory over John Adams. Then the Bengals, last year city co-camps, attracted public atten- tion as they met the boys from Five Points. The winner was to oppose the traditionally tough Latin Lions. On the kickoff. Lenny Pollack sped 90 yds. for a touchdown, and unfortunately, the only one for the Bengals that day. Collinwood ended it 28-6. The Bengals then took two victories before the big game with Latin. The first, against Central, was a wild running fray ending in the Bengal’s favor, 25-6. At West Tech field, on a bright Sunday afternoon, they took a 26-0 win from St. Ignatius. The day that all Benedictine students and followers had been waiting two years for finally came: the game against Latin. It was rnybody’s ballgame, for it had rained all that day and the field was muddy. The ball went back and forth, but Latin took every break and at the half it was 6-0, Latin. With Pollack’s shoulder injured and Gavanelle stunned, the Lions seized the opportunity for another touchdown. The game ended with the Bengals driving for paydirt. The Lions dominated, 19-0. The Bengals tried to ease their saddened hearts by runn'ng up their top score of the year against: Glenville, 38-7. They ended the season as they had begun, with a 6-6 tie with East Tech.

With excellent varsity material for the next year the boys came out to practice with the varsity and those who could not make the varsity were dropped to the junior Varsity. They showed they had the tough breaks in the first four games by trouncing back the next four games and beating the opponent by more than twenty points.

Cfieer Icabers OHE BENGALS scored amid loud cheering. When they were behind, the cheerleaders broke out with a “Fight, Team, Fight!” and the team drove on to win. When behind the cheerleaders gave the team the support to fight on- and when ahead not to stop, but to keep rolling. When school starts vol- unteers for the job of the cheerleaders are tried-out and the best who fit the position are chosen. This year’s staff is a veteran group and proves to be out- standing among all the other groups that cheered for Benedictine. The bell for a pep rally is rung and the students march to the gym. The master-of-ceremonies calls for a cheer and the cheerleaders get in their positions. Then the rafters rock with the unified cheers they lead. Their job is likened to that of the football and basketball teams for they too have to work and prac- tice to maintain perfection. So we salute the cheer- leaders of Benedictine on our twentieth anniversary for the fine job they have done in. the past.

Average points per game: Benedictine 53.2 Opponents 35.4 WITH THE ENDING of the Charity foot- ball game and with winter at hand, the bouncing of basketballs on the gymna- sium floor indicated basketball season was near. The returning of three veterans from last year’s championship team showed that the Bengal might repeat that feat. The object of getting two men who could play the veterans type of ball was nicely handled by Coach Norb Rascher when he placed Joe Stipkala at center and Norm Kni- ola at forward. The Bengals added two new teams to their stiff schedule, New Philadelphia and Hamilton Catholic. The results of winning the game against Hamilton Catholic won them state- wide recognition and the title parocial champs. With twentv-three straight victories at hand a determined East High team met the Bengals on the former’s court. Even though the Ben- gals played with all they had they still could not overcome the Blue Bombers. This set-back was very costly to the Bengals, for it not only broke their winning streak but prevented them from being City Champs. (continued) The Bengals thriller of the year was against Hamilton Catholic when before four thousand people the score tied thirty-seven all end five seconds left to play Lenny Pollack made a foul shot to win the game. And another game that might equally be called a thriller was against Cathedral Latin when the Bengals scored seventy points to the Lions twelve. When the Press All-Scholastic team was chosen the Bengals were the only team to place two men among the first ten: Joe Stipkala and Paul Vavrek; and on the All-East Senate team they placed four among the ten chosen: Joe Stip- kala, Paul Vavrek, Lenny Pollack and Ed Kubancik. Among the top ten scor- ing leaders the Bengals also had four: Joe Stipkala -174; Lenny Pollack-149; Paul Vavrek - 142; and Ed Kubancik - 139. Although not winning any championships, the Bengal Cagers merited an ex- cellent reputation as one of the best teams in the state. Outstanding comments in the daily papers pointed to the exceptional balance of the team. Though Paul Vavrek, because of his uncanny speed and guarding abilities, always drew gasps from the crowds; though Lenny Pollack, because of his amazing one-hand shots, brought fans to their feet, it was neverthe’ess the consensus of opinion that the real value of tho team rested in their ability to play together. Credit for the excellent basketball season must necessarily go to the entire team. The 1947 Basketball Team will go down in the annals of Benedictine Sports history as one of the truly great teams.

Not once did the opponents come close to beating a superior team; playing a smooth and stylish game they usually started slowy, then at the half easily subdued the opponents. The first and second teams played equally, every- one getting into the scoring limelight. The junior varsity games were preliminary games to the varsity contests, except for the two that the varsity played at the Arena. Ed Stakolich led the scoring for twelve games with 127 points. He is a smooth and calm play- er at all times and look?! like he might make a big jump with the varsity next season. A few of the other promising players are: Gembarsky, Cesar, Verderber, Petrovic, and Mack. The coach, Joe Rufus, really drilled the boys, as some students might know.

Florian, their coach, slowly chose the boys he thought were capable and told the others he was sorry he could not use them. With the difficulty of the varsity and junior varsity practicing after school the boys gladly came early in the morning to practice. After a slow start, that is, losing the first four games they went on to take the next eleven games. Kirk Junior High still seems to be a jinx to Benedictine Frosh in basketball as well as in football. The frosh lost twice to Kirk and ran their highest score against St. John Cantius. Frank Evans and George Tomcisin led the frosh in scoring with 168 and 147 points respec- tively. Both of these players are promising young material for the varsity next year. George Tomcisin, is a hook shot artist and Frank Evans is a dead shot from half court and very fast on his feet. Here is to the future basketball stars of Benedict:ne and may they have success on their way up.
