COI1Stl1IlCC Byrnes Altoona Catholic High School Doorway To Christian Culture The subject of Christian Education is Man, whole and entire. Within these portals, our minds, bodies, and souls have been primed and molded into staunch, upright Cath- olics, and consequently, good Americans. May we always adhere to the high ideals and prin- ciples taught here, and by putting them into action, make the world a better place for those who follow.

'l' Protect, O Lord, the Vicar of Thy Son on earth together with all bishops, priests, religious, and all the faithful. Vouchsafe that all, both priests and laity, the young, the mature, and the old, inti- mately in thought and affection, may be- come as a solid rock, against which the fury of Thy enemies will break in vain. + May Thy grace enkindle in all men love for the many unfortunate people, 'whom poverty and misery reduce to a condition of life un- worthy of human beings. + Arouse in the hearts of those who call Thee Father', a hunger and thirst for social justice and for fraternal charity in deeds and in truth. 'l' Grant, O Lord, peace in our daysi' - peace to souls, peace to families, peace to our country, peace among nations. May the rainbow of peace cover with the sweep of its serene light the Land sanctified by the life and passion of Thy Divine Son. 'l' Cod of all consolation! Deep is our misery, grave our faults, countless our needs. But greater still is our trust in Thee. Conscious of our unworthiness, we lovingly place our lot in Thy hands, uniting our weak prayers to the intercession and the merits of the most glor- ious Virgin Mary and all the Saints. 'l' Grant to the sick, resignation and health, to young men, the strength that is born of faith, to young girls, the gift of purity, to fathers, prosperity and holiness for their families, to mothers, success in their mission of rearing their children, to orphans, affec- tionate protection, to the refugees and pris- oners, their fatherland, and to all men Thy grace, in preparation and in pledge of the unending happiness of heaven.

He taught us the doctrines of our Catholic Faith and instruc- ted us in the methods of defending it against the argu- ments of those who wish to destroy this precious heritage. As the time approaches for leaving our Alma Mater, we will go forth, confident that his teaching has given us the principles that will make us strong pillars of Catholic action and Christian fortitude. fI'age Eiglllj Reverend Patrick D.

GIIID HIGHLIGHTS 0F 1949 ALTOONA 7 ff LASALLE 0 'l'he Nlarauders got oil' on the right loot as they edged LaSalle ol' Cumberland, Maryland. 'l'he seore did not tell the eornplete story, however, as the O'Uonnellrnen outrushed the invaders 225 yards to 67, and led in first downs l2 to 2. 'I'wo lVIarauder drives were also stalled inside the I5- yard line by fumbles. The seore earne midway in the seeond quarter when Frank Nlisitano blasted his way into pay- dirt from the 5. klirn VVarner plunged the extra point. Catholic' High was on its way to another t. d.. when the game ended with the ball on the Ex- plorer 2. The victory was dulled as right-hall Francis Fatiguntc sullered several broken toes on his right foot. AI,'l'OONA 6 ff CRESSON U In one ol' the roughest and hardest fought eon- tests to be staged at the Cricket Field in recent years the lVIarauders ended on top. The injury jinx kept up with the Altoonans as Bernie llelreo left taekle and bulwark of the line, had his right leg fractured. llaek .Ioyee blocked a third period Indian punt to set up the QZIIIICJS only seore which ealne one pass and two runs later as Misitano piled over from the one after that. Torn l'Jurkin's boys show- ed the stull' a good line is made of when they tight- ened up and thrilled the spectators with two goal line stands. Plllllli' finally ran out with Cresson in possession on the Altoona 4, ffapig I nrIy-fmuj THE MIGHTY MARAUDEBS ALTOONA 0 - ADAMS TOWNSHIP 20 A soggy, muddy Held and a fellow named Evan Slonac handed the O'D0nnell- men their Hrst defeat at 'Iohnstown's Point Stadium. Picking up where he left off last year, Mr. Slonac sped for 35 yards and a score the first time he got his hands on the ball. Later, in the second quarter, he added another on a plunge from the 2 and tacked on the extra point by placement. Seemingly not content with his first performance this pigskin paragon flipped a 48-yard pay-off heave to left end Croyle on the first play of the third stanza. Again he split the uprights and ended the night's scoring. Outplayed in almost every department, Altoona's deepest penetration was to the Adam's 4-yard line. ALTOONA 7 - TYRONE 39 A severe attack of fumble-itis and the added disadvantage of having to play on a grass field proved the Marauders' undoing as they suffered loss No. 2 on the Papertown gridiron. The Tyrone touchdown parade started three minutes after the kickoff as the Golden Eagles recovered an A. C. H. S. fumble on the 20 and Wagner negotiated the remaining distance on an end sweep. History repeated itself on the ensuing kickoff as Long's fumble on the I5 was converted into another 6-pointer. Two more t. d.'s were racked up on the Tyrone side of the scoreboard in the second period to make it 26-O at halftime. The Paper- towners added l3 more points in the third quarter with a Wagner-to-Philips pass and a 28-yard interception runback by Rupert. In the waning seconds of the game, Warner passed to Long for the only A. C. H. S. marker. Long added the extra point with a plunge. ALT OONA 13 - GALLITZIN 6 Sparked by Moose Misitano and Jim Points Saller the A. C. H. S. grid machine vaulted back into the win column. Moose capped a 63-yard drive by sprinting 34 yards to paydirt, midway in the first quarter. Long rushed the extra point. The Mountaineers re- taliated swiftly, however, when McTavish pass- cd to Laird for 53 yards and a score but failed to click for the point after. Saller put the game on ice in the third period when he scored from the one. ALTOONA 6 - HOLLIDAYSBURG 27 The Golden Tigers lost no time in asserting their supremacy over the Marauders as they followed up a quick, first-period t. d. drive of 41 yards by claw- ing their way for 49 yards and another score before the half ended. After stopping a Hollidaysburg ad- vance on the one, the O'Donnellmen fumbledg the county-seaters recovered and scored three plays later. They countered again in the third period by capitalizing on an interception. The A. C. H. S. score came after Moose intercepted a pass on the Altoona 39 and raced to the Tiger 30. Bullet Jim Connelly maneuvered the remaining distance with two passes, Misitano grabbing the second one in the end zone. i-Y' ltr ffl 45' lu 277 1-'i'Qi' XG ALTOONA 0 -W JOHNSTUWN 6 Although playing one ol' their best games of the season, Altoona was edged hy the Crimson Crushers ol- -johnstown. The lads from over the hill got their store when Certo elimaxed a 60-yard drive by rambling I7 yards into paydirt. Shortly afterward the Marauders drove to the 34 but fumbled. ln the fourth eanto the Crushers reached the 32 hut stalled as the A. C. H. forward wall stiflened. Despiration heaves were to no avail as the Contest entletl with the ball on the Altoona 20. ALTOONA 0 -'-- MT. UNION 7 Inability to sustain their frequent drives proved the Marauders' undoing against a small hut scrappy Mt. Union team. The O,Donnellmen penetrated to the Trojan 20 in the lirst eanto on strength of an interception hy Kenny , Gehl hut could get no farther. Mt. Union took the setiond-hall kitrkoll' and drove 89 yards in 13 plays for the only t. d. Time ran out with A. C. H. S. in possession on the Trojan 35. ALTOONA I8 f-4 CLAYSBURG 6 lntert'eptions and long runs were just what the tloetor ordered as the lWarauders broke their three-game losing streak. Moose Misitano pro- vided the Iirst hit ol' excitement when he pilfered a Gordon heave on the 50 and ramhled the rest of the way in the opening niinutes. .lim Connelly added another on a sneak from the l-yard line. Clayshurg struck haek as Gordon passed to Dupree lor their only tally. Paul Coveney broke through to hloek the e. p. Moost ' ended the seoring with a 2l-yard tlash to paydirt in the last tranto. ALTOUNA 7 W- HARRISBURG 155 The Marauders just didn't have it when the Crusaders Came to the Cricket Field. Following the kickoff, Tony Natalc started the parade into the promised land as he dashed over from the 13. Minutes later he tallied another. Alter the O'lJon- nellmen penetrated to the 40. the invaders took over and posted a third score. That man Natale got in on the tallying when a lucky eateh ol' an Ortenzio heave pCI'IIllU'Cl him to seore from the l0.

Showing plenty of talent, the Catholic quintet was never headed in the 44-25 win. CATHOLIC HIGH 36 MOUNT UNION 25 A spirited Catholic Five humbled a highly touted Mount Union Five in their second trip afield. For- ward Russ McConville topped the A. C. H. S. scoring squad with 10 points. CATHOLIC HIGH 34 CRESSON 19 With Rcismcier and Rutherford dropping 10 points apiece the Marauders proved too much for their mountain rivals in the third contest of the season. CATHOLIC HIGH 34 ROARING SPRING 32 Hitting the road for the first time, the Marauders ckcd out a hard fought win from a strong Spring Five by pulling a freeze in the last three minutes. CATHOLIC HIGH 47 HOLLIDAYSBURG 25 Despite the showing of their ace, Joe King, a strong County seat team was trimmed by a smooth- whirling Purple and Gold machine to the tune of -l-7-25. Reismeier and Kelly were high point men. CATHOLIC HIGH 40 JOHNSTOWN 48 Easy Ed Pavliek with l5 points held the reins as a flashy Johnstown Club ended the Marauders' 5-game winning streak and sent them down to their Hrst defeat of the season. CATHOLIC HIGH 49 LILLY 41 Once again on the road, the Marauders got back into winning form by defeating Lilly 49-41. McCon- ville hit the cords for 20 points. CATHOLIC HIGH 36 ST.

Wage Forty-eighlj CATHOLIC HIGH 57 GALLITZIN 38 Showing their definite superiority, Jim OlDonnell's Big Five led by Rcismeier with 14 points, romped over their Cambria County rivals, bringing their win total to 8. CATHOLIC HIGH 58 LILLY 34 Once again, this time on the home floor, Catholic High administered a 24 point defeat to the invading Lilly Five. Big Fred rang up 29 points to lead both teams. CATHOLIC HIGH 46 MT. UNION 33 Back on the road, the O'Donnellmen rolled over a highly rated Mt. Union Five. Reismeier again came through with 18 points. CATHOLIC HIGH 42 LA SALLE 24 The Explorers didn't have to explore far to find the strength of the Altoona Catholic High School quintet as they went down to a stunning 42-24 defeat. CATHOLIC HIGH 48 TYRONE 35 Holding Eekert to 10 points, the Marauders guided by MeConville with 18, scored a surprise victory over the Golden Tigers of Tyrone. CATHOLIC HIGH 84 ST. JOSEPI-I'S, RENOVO 24 St. Joseph's proved themselves definitely in the wrong league as they went down to an overpowering defeat. McConville and Rcismeier sparked the attack. CATHOLIC HIGH 51 ROARING SPRING 36 With Fred Reismeier pading the scoring column with 26 marks, the Marauders sent the Spring quin- tet home on the short end of the score for the ,second time this season. CATHOLIC HIGH 61 GALLITZIN 49 Continuing their winning ways, the Marauders traveled into the hills once more and brought back an overwhelming victory. Burns and Carmosena with 20 and 21 points could only dent the Marauders' scoring machine. CATHOLIC HIGH 41 JOHNSTOWN 39 On the rebound, after a close defeat by Cone- maugh, its first defeat in thc season, the Crimson Basketball Crushers surrendered a close victory to their tradit- ional rivals, bringing the series to one victory each. McConville's sparkling floor game was the deciding factor in the contest. CATHOLIC HIGH 36 HOLLIDAYSBURG 26 The O'Donnelmen took the County-seaters in hand on the Tigers' floor, stopping them by a 10 point margin. Rcismeier was high with 11. CATHOLIC HIGH 42 ST. MARYS 40 In a nip and tuck contest that ran into an over- time period, the Marauders' quintet reached into their bag of tricks and pulled one to turn the tables 2 points in their favor. Fred Rcismeier was again big man with 18. CATHOLIC HIGH 39 TYRONE 30 Holding Eckert, Tyrone's high scoring center to a big zero in the scoring column, the Altoona Five once again tamed the Tigers . The Marauders were driven by McConville with 14 points. CATHOLIC HIGH 54 LA SALLE 31 OH on another scoring spree the Marauders sent the invading Explorers home with another defeat. Reismeier added 26 to the scoring. ' CATHOLIC HIGH 79 ST. JOSEPH'S 27 Wasting no time the Marauders walloped a badly outclassed St. Joseph's Five. It was the finale for the seniors on the home floor but the scoring laurels went to a junior as Rcismeier did it again with 23, clinching the county individual scoring lead for the season. CATHOLIC HIGH 30 JOHNSTOWN 42 Playing to a packed house at Doyle Hall, Loretto, the Marauders saw their play-off hopes drift into thin air as they were humbled before the might of the Crimson Crushers . Playing good ball in the first half, the Marauders lost their hold in the second and never regained it. CATHOLIC HIGH 52 CRESSON 49 Bringing to a close a very successful season, the Marauders came through in the final minutes to send Cresson down to its third defeat of the year. Five seniors took their final bow, Ted Rutherford, Russ McConville, Francis Fantigante, Ed Kelly and Jim Adams.
