The MARQUETTE of 19 3 6 PERE MARQUETTE I is of ten hard to think of men as saints, And he of whom 1 sing was merely man; yet Is there greater saint than Pere Marquette Behold him. warrior priest! No weak complaints Pass from his lips. I hough Nature s fierce restraints Ol winter, loneliness, and cold all f ret — They cannot dent the armor of Marquette. Like Sampson bold he stands — another faints! I he rising sun now greets the waiting earth, A kneeling priest, with arms outstretched, chaplet In hand is seen. Giant trees and grass now wet With heavy dew his stooping lorm. I lis worth God knows, man gleans Irom this, Lord, I regret That I can do no more, prays Pere Marquette. — Douglas Le Breton. LEADERS! IIP EDITION Published by the SENIOR CLASS : f CATHOLIC CENTRAL I IIC-I Hammond. Indiana SCI IOOI. PHI AIR QUIET TIE Why should Catholic students claim superior advantages? Because their education, taking account of the whole man and his destiny both here and hereafter, must create a philosophy of life which should make lor leadership. One can never command leadership unless he has very definite convictions, in relation to the religious, moral and social justice orders. But only the Catholic has these. And it is precisely because Catholics should have these qualifications lor leadership that we wan t them to become conversant with the social as well as the religious and moral teachings of their Church and then assert themselves in the promulgation of them. . XoZL- OUR LEADER It is fitting that the Marquette which stands for everything closest to the hearts of Catholic Cen- tral students should be dedicated to one who has the welfare of the students closest to his heart. The Reverend H. James Conway, leader, friend, counselor. WE INOP OIR. FOREWORD To leadership we owe the progress of the w orld. Leadership, chosen as the theme of this Marquette, is exemplified in the lives of great men: Columbus, the discoverer: Marquette, the spiritual pioneer: w Wash- ington, the nation-huilder: Lincoln, the preserver of the Union: Rockne, the inspirer of youth. Surely among these can be lound an ideal to lead one to high achievement. II IF A ID IE IL SIM II IP Leadership may be defined as effective inspiration to thought or action . . . Another way of finding out what leadership means is to study the man generally admitted to be a leader. Every such man, no matter what other characteris- tics he may possess, is always noted lor knowledge, courage, and generosity. 1 he man who does not give wholeheartedly and lavishly may possess personality but he can never he a leader. Accordingly, to be in training lor leadership means to study for knowledge, to strengthen our wills for courage, and most important of all. to sacrifice a completely per- sonal ambition. In proportion as a man devotes himsell wholeheartedly and single-mindedly to a cause, his cause will be successful and his leadership effective. The MARQUETTE of 19 3 6 President, Loyola University Chicago I he best training lor leadership consists in the de- velopment within one s self of the spirit ol co-operation, the spirit of teamwork. W ithout the ability to join with others in the successful prosecution ol any plan no man can be a proper leader, for this one must develop char- acter and personality. I hese two general traits can be best developed by the spirit of self-sacrifice, of perseverance and of willing- ness to give all that the task confronting us requires. Without such willingness no task worth while has been or will be achieved. DePaul l ' nivers ' Jy .

I lis position is one of relativity. He is related to three distinct groups — his superiors, his equals and his subordinates. He cannot maintain his position if he is unwilling to be directed by his superiors, and it is im- perative that his relationship with them be con- genial. Mutual respect must exist between him and his equals in order that his own position o( leadership will be maintained and strengthened. Finally, proper leadership should embody the constructive and intelligent guidance of his subordinates. 1 he greatest strength wh ich a leader possesses is found in those whom he leads. The American High School, with its broad curriculum and its activity directed by compe- tent teachers and administrators, offers excel- lent opportunities for the training in the funda- mental rules that form the basis for leadership in all achievements of life. Paul V. VcNutt Governor of Indiana EOOK OWE TIM IE SCIHOOIL CATHOLIC CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL I he need for a Catholic high school in Lake County was the starting point of Catholic Central s existence. I he school was founded by the Ancilla Domini Sisters in 1921. In 1933 the school became diocesan, and the Sisters of the Holy Cross replaced the Ancilla Domini Sisters. In 1934 the Reverend H. lames Con- way succeeded the Reverend P. J. Schmid as director. Hie school is ideally situated with facilities lor convenient transportation for students from the entire Calumet district. The courses offered cover a wide variety ol subjects.

[ 20 ] CLASS HISTORY On September 5, 1932. approximately one hundred twenty freshmen set to sea in the good ship Education hound for the port of Graduation. 1 hey were destined to be the most outstanding class ever to walk across the mythical gangplank of Catholic Central. A meeting of the entire crew was held and the following were chosen to lead the up-and-coming Centralites: Edward Sweeney, Chester Nytko, Marie I ' leek, Chester Kiciak. Led by these capable representatives, the class commenced its string o( achievements by holding one of the most successful Penny Socials ever sponsored by a Freshman class. Freshman athletes also gave a warning that they would he heard from in the luture. Sailing on into the second year they found themselves much better ac- quainted with the ship s rigging and the original crew still presented a bold I ront despite a slight depletion in the ranks. Several minor mutinies were quelled without mishap to ship or crew . I he new mascot. Narcissus , the pride and joy of all. made for itself a permanent place in all hearts. The “ship s ’ officers this year were: Joseph Nalepa, lmclda O Keefe, Alice Watson, Anthony Piatek. Second-year-men distinguished themselves on both the I ootball field and the basketball court. Also, social events always lound a goodly portion o! Sophomore participants. I laving successfully weathered the storms ol bashfulness, inexperience, and subjection, they entered into the last half of their journey. As Juniors the class executives were Stephen Kona, Jerome Huber, Alice W atson, Gene Moloney. This year’s successful football campaign was due in no small part to Junior athletes. The Boys’ Class Basketball I ournament was captured by the Juniors. The major social event ol this year was the Junior Prom. I his allair was capably handled by willing and enthusiastic deck hands of the class of ’36. Land Ahoy! Graduation is ahead and eighty-eight proud seniors look forward to that final day. I his last year the I ootball and basketball teams had successful seasons. On both teams nearly all positions were held by seniors. Officers lor this final year were James ilcovic, Martha Sabados, Ann Kinel. Raymond Michaelewicz. Commencement week climaxed the cruise ol the travelers. I he alumni banquet, the senior breakfast, class day. and the picnic added gayety on the good ship “Education. The editing of the Marquette represents our final official act as stu- dents of Catholic Central. At last, after lour years, on rough seas and lair, we dock, ready to conquer that which lies beyond.

[ 23 ] The MARQUE ' fTE of 19 3 6 The MARQUETTE of 19 3 6 JUNIOR ACTIVITIES J he activities of the Junior Class have been remarkable, not for their number but lor their intensity. In the election of officers the class chose: Joseph Nowak, president: George Parker, vice-president; Edna O Hern, sec- retary; Mary Agnes Schneider, treasurer. An impromptu holiday party was given prior to the Christmas recess; mid-term examinations and the retreat prevented more public 1 unctions until the lirst Friday ol March. PIcre the class blossomed forth for the first time with a startling display of aptitude and talent. I he occasion was the monthly meeting of the Catholic Students Mission Crusade. Joseph Nowak, Paul Ryband. Earl Miller, Jane Fuehr- meyer, Will iam DeMuth, Elaine F arcus, James Lauerman, Patrick Mulloy and Mary Louise Mores were those who performed individually, whi le the entire class took part in choral singing. Phis meeting deviated from the usual course of procedure at the meetings and we hope that it has set a precedent to be followed by the rest of the school.

It’s there in the day, it’s there in the night; Whatever it touches is for the time lost. It comes in the person ol old Jack Frost. He pulls, he tugs, and at us he points, Until our fingers seem useless joints; He blows his breath, a-sending forth chills Underneath door-jambs and window-sills. Soon, however, his breath grows weak; A round, bright something begins to seek Tbis villainous rogue ol the W inter days. And force the rascal to change his ways. At first the struggle is hard and fierce. But soon the stranger begins to pierce. The armor of the roguish one; He conquers! The winner is old Mr. Sun. Robert H. Schumacher Christian doctrine aids the students in Catholic schools to acquire those essentials which make (or ethical conduct, character building, consideration lor others, and good citizenship. Certainly, educational theories which over- look moral training or imparl it in a limited way, do not lullill the primary purpose of education. Studies offered in Catholic schools are broad and cultural. Idle courses represent the latest and best in education, and prepare one lor his life work. There are the advantages ol contact with capable instructors, trained in their profession, and agreeable companionship with a very line group ol young people. loitcf y. miw President, Pirsl National Bank East Chicago, Indiana IBQOII4 TWO ORGANIZATIONS n i TI IF, ORCI IESTRA The MARQUE ' ITF of 19 3 6 Top Ron.

Seniors first, then on down the line, each class doing its share to make our Mission Crusade an active organization. I he honor ol holding office belongs to the Seniors. I his years choices were: Paul Cashman, president; Angela Corny, vice-president; George Bolinger. secretary: Robert Marshall, treasurer. Every student ol the school belongs; everyone contributes to the spiritual bouquet sent to the loreign missions, and every unsellish member tries to do his part in sacrificing a penny here, a nickel there, to make our linancial help to some needy missionary worthwhile. The work of this year is encouraging. Interesting programs were presented by each class. I he prayers counted up into large numbers and mission lunds grew to approximately $100.00. May our missionary zeal increase! May we realize more and more the need ol loreign missions that we may not he self- centered in our spiritual outlook.

Its main concern and greatest interest has been and shall always be in advancing the status of its Alma Mater in any way that it can. Its first venture ol the year was the Alumni- Varsity football game. I ' he old grads were certainly up to their shoulder pads in good lootball. You say that you are interested in the final outcome. — the ultimate conclusion. — the score? w e re only too glad to tell you that the score was 6 to 0 in lavor ol the arsity. I he proceeds went to the school athletic fund. In line lor well deserved honorable mention was the presentation ol Big Hearted Herbert, under the direction ol Miss Roma Murphy. It was another leather in the Alumni cap, lor the large audience was pleased with the excellent perlormance. The Air imni also sponsored a Football Dance for the benefit of the athletic fund, oung and old alike were in attendance. More and more people seem to realize the need of this school. I he Annual I lomecoming Dance during ihe Christmas holidays drew crowds ol Centralites, most ol whom had been looking forward to it for weeks. Ihe very worst any one could say lor it is that it was a dance. At any rate, orchids to the committee. Ihe roller skating party was great lun, but not exactly a success for those less lamiliar with this popular mode ol transportation. There was not any one, however, who did not enjoy the evening. And now, we take this opportunity to welcome the Class of 36 into our group. [ 5 «] Top Rous — Mr. Joseph Hoess, Mr. John 1 loess. W illiam l loess. Front Row — Mr. Frank Hoess.

In Barter, a lour act play by Brother Urban Magle, is, portrayed a new testament theme with utmost respect and vividness.

Patrick Mulloy THE SCHOOL TROLLEY Every morning about eight-lilleen il you chance to pass the priests rectory, or happen to be gazing towards that direction a lamiliar sight can be seen. , ,, Eor every morning about that time Rev. Eather Junk and rather Scharl, desperately try to start their car, a wreck, which, upon close examination resembles a Chevrolet coupe. After two or three unsuccessful attempts to start the car by pushing it from the rectory to the convent and back, the two priests, with the aid ol about twenty freshmen succeed in making the car cough. Down the home stretch leading Irom the rectory to the school suddenly a great noise is heard, similiar to that heard at Indianapolis Race I rack. Students dart out of the way, expecting to see Malcolm Campbell come tearing down the track ahoul 300 miles an hour; hut lo! it is only Father Junk and Father Scharf driving to school, the speedometer registering 7 3 4 miles per hour. . , A sudden escape ol steam indicates that the brakes are being applied, then suddenly a bing. a big 50 pounds of iron is thrown out of the car as an anchor, and the car comes to a halt, perhaps with the loss ol only a few bolts. Then they lie it to a tree in order that the wind may not carry away their precious treasure. Tony Piatek The MARQUEJTE of 19 3 0 [ 47 ] The MARQUETITE of 19 3 6 SILVER JUBII.EE 1 he Re ’crend Richard Grunenberg came to Catholic Central nine years ago, and during those nine years he has been a prominent figure in the activities of the school and has devoted himself unsparingly as a teacher ol music. In his work ol taking care ol the music department he has always had the orchestra ready lor any occasion. He has started many students on the road of fine musianship, but aside Irom teaching Father takes a personal interest in the success of his pupils. He is a friend ol the student body and a promoter ol the school. Father is also a teacher o| loreign languages, Latin and Greek, and his hobby is photography.

SISTER AUGUSTINE MARIE It was with a mixture ol joy and sorrow that the students bade farewell to their beloved Sister Augustine Marie on October 21, 1935. I hey were joyful because of the opportunity of seeing Sister again; they were sorrowful for they realized that they would never see her again since she was leaving to be a missionary in India. Accompanying Sister were Sister M. Francelia, C. S. C. and Sister Mary Clare, O. S. F. At a special assembly Sister Augustine Marie spoke to the student body ol her loyally to Catholic Central and of the need of missionaries among the Bengalese.

Chester won the right to represent the school at the State Catholic High School contest sponsored by the Wranglers Club of the University of Notre Dame. I his was held on Sunday afternoon, April 4th. Chester, who wa s the fifth speaker, was awarded the McNamara trophy, which is a beautiful silver loving cup. Not satisfied with the acquisition of one loving cup.

REGIONAL CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC SCHOOL PRESS ASSOCIATION Catholic Central High School was represented by two members ol the I acuity and two members of the Marquette staff, Alice W atson and Virginia Schilling, at the Reginal Conference ol the Catholic School Press Association for the greater C hicago area. I he conference was held at the Loyola Community Theatre, February 29, 1936, and consisted ol general assemblies followed by round table discussions. We are confident that next year s con- ference will find a larger representation Irom Catholic Central at this im- portant midwest press meeting. [ 49 ] The MARQUETTE of ! 9 3 6 BAZAAR Concentrated competition signalled the approach ol the bazaar aL Catholic Central which was held on April 16, 17, and 18. Racetracks, and thermometers answered the daily query. Who’s ahead ? Future salesmen proved their ability by turning in book alter book of tickets. Pep” talks, braggarts tales ol past and future conquests, and good natured teasing filled in the hve minute periods between classes, and sometimes afterwards. As the time drew nearer, pounding, hammering, shouted commands or mere suggestions were heard as booths of all shapes and sizes transformed the auditorium into a veritable fair grounds. Booths were sponsored by the Mothers Club. The Mens Club, the Alumni, and all the classes: there was no end of th em! I elegraph messengers shot around the moving throngs delivering messages as important as the news taken from Ghent to Aix ; Bingo callers attracted everyone with an extra dime: bewitching dolls and painted clowns offered pockets from which might be taken intriguing packages: dancing and the ever-welcome refreshment booths were popular; the practical grocery stall conducted by the Mens Club, the fun-making nigger babies’ and donkey games, the mysterious fortune teller, the quacking ducks, the attractive Novelty Shoppe, the refreshing pop stand, the beautiful fancy-work, delicious candy, and the favorite fish pond helped to make the 1936 Bazaar the distingushed success that it was. The Sophomore C class won the coveted honor of selling the largest number of Big I ickets and thoroughly enjoyed the promised reward. DANCES Since the publication of the initial Marquette, the Class of ’36 has sponsored three dances that have met with unprecedented success. The Junior Prom, held June - th, 1935, was without doubt the one outstanding social event. I he gym was I i I led to capacity with the gaily decked couples who swayed to the music of Billy Robinson and his Orchestra. Steve Kona, Junior Class president, with Miss Betty Seroczynski, and Bruno Nalepa, Senior Class president, with Miss Ann Perinovac, led the Grand March at 9:0(J 0 clock. I he Fall Jamboree, November -4th. 1935, was another school dance (hat drew a large crowd. Decorated lavishly, the balloon-studded gym with its crowd ol happy couples presented a scene that will not soon be forgotten. 1 he Seniors were host to the underclassmen, alumni and friends, and, as usual, the affair went over in grand style. Billy Robinson again played. I he first official act of I he Senior Class of 1936 was to hold a private pany in the school cafeteria. Games were played and lunch was served, then dancing predominated until the end of the party. It was one more example of the organization and good friendship found in this class. [ 50 ] OUTSIDE Tl IE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE The first in line outside the office door was a serious-laced girl who was evidently expecting an ordeal; behind her were two hoys whose hilarious laughter betrayed the lact that they were trying to reassure themselves. I he next must have been a Ireshman for she was trembling visibly. One stern look from the reverend principal and she would he in tears. Near her stood a blase individual who must have been a sophomore, lor only sophomores can achieve that look ol complete boredom. Lounging beside her was a classmate ol hers, wo rid -weary, with practi- cally the whole world in the palm of his hand. I le very politely but definitely ignored the dignified junior girl who stood in Iront ol him. Her actions stated plainly that she thought the underclassmen were all silly and childish and that she certainly hoped she had not acted that way when she was a Iresh- man and a sophomore. Apart from this little group awaited a senior girl who looked just a wee bit hurt, even insulted, that she. a senior, should have to get an excuse. I he teachers must think her still a child, but — well, to tell the truth she was no more anxious to interview the principal than were the rest of the crowd. A jangle of keys, a deep voice on the stairway, then a combined more or-less hearty greeting. Good morning. Father — and the first ol the line entered the sanctum sanctorum. Lucile Schmelter “SATAN REFORMED” A short lime ago the Hoess Brothers to rid themselves of Satan, gave him to bather Conway whom they thought would be more able than they to tame him. Since Satan has lodged himsell in bather Conway s garage he has been elevated from the rank ol the city s champion cat-chaser to Central s most prized possession, that of mascot. However, it was hardly appropriate lor a Catholic priest to have among his belongings any article bearing the name ol Satan and so Father Conway re-christened him Bosco and restored him to the favor ol all good Christians. Since Bosco has for- saken his former life and name he has been taken into the good graces of the Centralites and is allowed to strut up and down the side-lines during our football games wearing a red blanket upon which is the Catholic Central monogram. A favorite cry on our Athletic Field is We want Bosco! Let us introduce you to him in person on the next page: Phyllis Hepner. 15 ' ] The MARQUETTE of 19 3 6 1 . Bread line. 2 .

S. conference, I hornton Fractional. South Suburban champions, Hammond High, one of the ten best teams in Indiana, and Mooseheart, judged one ol the best in Illinois. [ 56 ] GRIDIRON GLANCES Sept. 14 — Catholic Central raised its football curtain with a costly victory over the Alumni to the tune of 6 to 0. On the first play after the initial kickoff. Bruno Nalepa. Alumni halfback, cut through tackle lor 60 yards, but was spil led down Irom behind before reaching the goal. Ray Michaelewicz.

Sept. 21 — After outplaying Horace Mann I ligh School of Gary in the first half. Catholic Central was beaten 20 to 0 by an inspired second-half rally on the part of the f forsemen. Harmon. Mann s all-conference quarterback, contributed several spectacular runs and two touchdowns to his team s cause. Central on several occasions was within ten yards of the opponent s goal, hut Mann s strong defense held successfully. Oct. 1 — Playing on a slow field because of a recent rain. Catholic Central downed Crown Point High School by the score of 26 to 0. Coach Wallace used 33 players in this game whi ch proved that Central had the situation well in hand at all stages. I wo of Central’s touchdowns were scored by Bill Radigan, Central halfback. Oct. 12. — As a climax to the Hammond Welfare Drive week. Catholic Central marked up its third win of the season by over-powering Ham- mond Tecb 6 to 0. Central scored in the second quarter and threatened Tech s goal many more times during the game, but the clawing 1 igers refused to be pushed back of their ten yard marker. Oct. 27 — Central s record of not having lost a game on its home field was shattered by Thornton Fractional ol Calumet City, when the Meteors handed the Centralites their second defeat of the season by the score of 13 to 0. The South Suburban C hampions scored in the second and third periods on a long pass and a long run. Nov. 3 — Playing against a superior team of exceptional power and drive. Catholic Central received its worst defeat of the season Irom Ham- mond High by the score of 24 to 0. The Centralites resorted to a The MARQUETTE of 19 3 6 [ 57 ] The MARQUETPE of 19 3 6 desperate passing game, but the Wildcat line gave the Central passer little time for accuracy. Nov. 10 — George Rogers Clark, determining to avenge their defeat of last year, was again turned back by a spirited Central aggregation who piled up a fourteen point advantage before the Pioneers could recover. I he game ended with Catholic Central on the long end of a 14 to 7 score. Central backs gained at will through the opponent s line be- cause of some beautiful blocking by the Central linesmen. Central was handicapped by the loss of Captain Steve Kona who was unable to play because of a leg injury. Central s touchdowns came in the lirst and second quarters alter two successive marches down the field had made the scores possible. Nov. 1 7 — In the last encounter ol the season. Catholic Central fell be- fore the second-hall attack ol Mooseheart and lost by the score of 16 to 6. The first half saw the Centralites constantly threatening the Mooseheart goal, but failing to push over a well-earned touchdown. On the short end of a 16 to 0 score, Central started a spirited march in the third quarter and climaxed it with a much needed touchdown. In the last quarter another similar march fell short ol the Moose- heart goal by ten yards. Central s lone tally was scored by Kona Irom the two yard marker.

[ 30 ] The MARQUETTE of 19 3 6 BASKETBALL BEAMS I he Catholic Central hardwood campaign ol 35- 36 proved to he one of the most successful seasons a Blue and Grey quintet has had for the past few years. I he team compiled a record ol ten games won and nine games lost. Although the record is barely over the five hundred mark, it is well to remember the team met, on equal grounds, some of the best basketeers in the Calumet region, a district noted for its rugged competition. The varsity squad, composed of nine seniors and a lone sophomore, fought hard throughout the season and gained the reputation ol being one ol (be hardest fighting aggregations in these parts. Even in contests which they lost their fighting spirit and sportsmanship were always evident. The offensive burden of this fine team was upheld mainly by three players who could warm the heart of any coach. They were Captain Ray Michaelewicz, Jerry Yocis. and Pete Petrauskas. Captain Michaelewicz was at all times an outstanding player from his forward position. He alone amassed the total of 138 points, surpassing his record of the previous season by 3 points. Jerry Yocis. guard, was feared by opponents for bis deadliness in shooting from far out. Another asset was his defensive ability. Pete Petrauskas. a center transformed to a forward to team up with “Ray,” was a great pivot shot and the new ' niles seemed to hinder him very little. Other players who helped to provide the winning punch were George Bolinger and Paul Cashman, center. “Teddy” Kwiatkowski, forward, and Mouse Moser, Steve Kona, Tony Piatek, guards. HARDWOOD HIGHLIGHTS On November twenty-ninth Catholic Central met and defeated Thorn- ton Fractional by the score of 32-29. This was a sweet victory to the Cen- tralites due to the keen rivalry existing between the two schools. Captain Michaehvicz paced the Blue and Grey s spirited attack with thirteen points. I he Commodores of Decatur invaded the Central lair expecting a second victory, but were administered their first setback in twelve games. Captain Ray Michalewicz and Jerry Yocis scorched the nets as each garnered twenty points. The final score was Central 30, Decatur 17. [ 60 ] After traveling over seventy miles into enemy territory. Catholic Central was defeated by Mooseheart. I he score 24-22 indicates the thrilling type ol game it was. A belated Central rally, headed by Bolinger, fell short by a meager two points. In a game which will long be remembered lor its thrilling and hectic moments. Central eked out a 16-15 victory from St. Mary s of Michigan City. Joe Nalepa s last minute bucket Irom beyond mid-floor brought victory to the Blue and Grey. Invading the Masonic Temple at I lammond. Central met its most heartbreaking defeat of the season at the hands ol I lammond I ech. I he lec h Tigers led throughout, but Central’s sharp-shooters headed by Fete Petrauskas were continually snapping at their heels. ITe gun found Central on the short end of a 32-27 score. After completing a successful season the Catholic Central basketeers left for Fort Wayne to participate in the annual Indiana Caholic High School Basketball Tournament. The I lammondites opened the tournament against St. Paul s of Marion. Captain Michaelewicz led his team to the 25-19 victory with nine points. Entering into the second round of the tournament Central was pitted against St. Mary’s of Anderson, the ultimate champion. I he contest was a gruelling one and a hot pace was maintained throughout, ending with the final score of 33-26. It was the second year in a row that the representatives Irom Catholic Central were eliminated in the second round by the coming cham- pions. oe Johnson SEASON BASKETBALL RECORD We Opponent Th 33 St. Mary s, Michigan City 22 32 1 hornton Fractional 29 19 _ Whiting 26 18 Alumni - — 15 21 1 lobart 27 18 Decatur 31 16 St. Mary’s, Michigan City — 15 20 I hornton Fractional 30 30 Decatur 17 22 Mooseheart 24 27 Hammond 1 ech 32 29 St. Joseph High.

[ 63 ] GIRLS’ ATHLETICS The MARQUE ' ITE of 19 3 6 Basketball, tbe principal sport for girls at Catholic Central, attracted an unusually large number this year. This was probably due to tbe fact that there was more attention given tbe sport and better organization on tbe whole. I his year tbe suits were of different colors for tbe class teams. The freshmen had green, tbe sophomores tan, tbe juniors blue with white collars and belts, and the seniors cadet blue. Those who participated in athletics learned not only tbe health value of athletics but also tbe value of sportsmanship. Tbe girls learned to realize tbe lull meaning of tbe words: “And when the One G reat Scorer comes To write against your names He writes not that you won or lost But how you played the game. CLASS TOURNAMENT The interclass tournament which created great enthusiasm began tbe week of March 23, 1936. The final game was played March 31 and proved to be tbe most thrilling and exciting of tbe tournament. The intense interest in this game was probably due to tbe fact that it was played between tbe Freshmen and tbe Seniors. Tbe Seniors came forth victorious in tbe last half-minute ol play, much to their joy as it was their final appearance on Central s floor.
