We Hamlin does 00Wn ACT l-The first scene takes place at St. Joseph Church, September 9, 1942, where Calvert's largest enrollment in I9 years of its existence is attending Mass. Out of all those students 88 are freshmen. From the church the students are transported to Calvert, their real destination. For a few , - f weeks after their first induction, the green freshies are in a complete muddle of classes and new . I ml S faces. Rescuers are the homeroom teachers, Sister Mary Cordula and Mother Dominic. f fi ig ,, A feat for freshmen, accomplished by John Maiberger and Eileen Wagner, was the publication 3 1 'H .h ' of stories in the Calvert News within the first few months of school. With this start the rest of the V ,ll T class accomplished much. Coming to the top of the Mission Drive were Rose Ann Huffman, Beverly L .1 J Meier, John Maiberger and Dick Blaes, To rate high also on the ladder of the Catholic Press Drive , l E E28 ,, ' ' were Florence Anderson, Joanne Gase, Richard Ehrenfried, and James Fleck. ' ,J For achieving the highest characteristics of leadership, Dick Blaes and Helen Huss merited if- .lax ' Activity Awards presented by the Kiwanis club. Orchids also go to Rita Robenalt, who moved to . Springfield in the iunior year, for her prize essay in the American Legion contest. ACT ll-Back to the stage came the actors after a short intermission of a few summer months. Once more the girls of the cast take over the study hall with Miss Zeiger as supervisor, while the boys are assigned to room 9 with Mother Dominic again as director. Wishing to show their capabilities as interior decorators, Ruth Derflinger, Rose Ann Borer, and Lorraine Skakane painted the background for the Blessed Virgin's statue in the homeroom. A new name was printed on our list of producers when Father Gates replaced Father Earl Schmit as assistant principal. Talent was also discovered in this act as Dorothy Taylor and Clement Decker appeared among the Seneca county winners of the American Legion essay contest. Spurring us on to greater heights during the Chronicle drive were our leaders Evelyn Serr, Ruth Derflinger, Richard Blaes, and Raymond Bushkuhl. The Oscar for the most outstanding performance of our drama's second act was given to Fred Amann for his true-to-life character sketch of Saint George during the tcbleau of Father Jaeger's patron saint in honor of his feast. X Bursting into athletic stardom, many bays distinguished themselves by acquiring letters in foot- 3' Sex ball or basketball. Dean Klopp, Richard Sutter and Raymond Bushkuhl performed on the gridiron while Clement Decker, Richard Sutter, and John Maiberger were among the hardcourt lettermen. Q 0 'Q Seventy-six actresses and actors trooped off the stage as they finished their sophomore year and turned aside to study lines for the act coming up. SQ . ACT Ill-This oct opens with the class of '46 making preparations for a very busy season. N Successful candidateffor class officers were Clement Decker, president: Betty Krupp, vice-president, Joyce Altweis, secretary: and John Burger, treasurer. Picking two members of our cast for honors, the school chose Dick Blass and Beverly Meier as cheerleaders. In the biggest Calvert News campaign in history, the iunior boys soared to dizzy heights with 224 per cent. The girls tagged along with 102 per cent. Fred Amann starred in this performance. To show their masculine co-stars that they could really compete along some lines, the ladies came through with a very high score on the honor roll each six weeks. Finally both groups of performers got together and planned the annual Junior-Senicr Banquet held on February 'll that year to insure the attendance of a few senior boys who were rapidly leaving school i, 1 for armed service. N K' Another very important event occurred during our third act. Calvert's band made f hx- ,lla its appearance and Rose Ann Borer was chosen as maiorette. ,, ACT IV-Now in the final scene of our high school play, the players chose leading actors for the coveted roles of officers. James Paulus, Louise Hardin, Dorothy Decker, and Edward Johnston played their parts without missing a cue. The spirit of the whole cast was thrown into the Calvert News and Calvertana drives with unparalleled success as a reward. Ruth Ann Schultz and Dick Blaes XX capably fulfilled the duties of editors on the paper, while Helen Huss and Lewis Orians shared the editorship of the yearbook. Much of the success of the Calvertana Drive was due to John Burger who did exceedingly well as business manager of the X 5 , year book. F Not wishing to be outdone by the artistic girls in one of the preceding acts, Howard Magers, Raymond Bushkuhl, John Burger, Fred Amann, Clement Decker, and John Maiberger added to the beauty of the school by redecorating the News Room. For recognition of her skill in typing fifty-eight words o minute, Helen Huss was awarded the Competent Typist Certificate and pin. Coming an stage in their football uniforms the players gave a notable performance. Richard Sutter was designated valu- able player while .John Maiberger and Raymond Bushkuhl were chosen co-captains of the football squad. John Maiberger also received the honor of being the basketball captain. Maiberger, Sutter and Decker were cheered on to victories by their basketball fans as Calvert was placed in the Class A rating. Before the short interlude of Christmas vacation the Seniors placed their entire talent in the annual Christmas tableau which was given in St. Joseph's auditorium. The Oscar for the female role of our drama was conferred to Mary Ann Daniel for her superb portrayal of the Blessed Virgin. Special mention was given to Edward Johnston as St. Joseph and Lorraine Skokane as Angel Gabriel. The'student body participated in the May Crowning, one of the beautiful religious ceremonies of the year. Following the presentation of diplomas the entire assembly of Seniors gathered on the stage for the final bow to their faithful audience. the other classes of Calvert. Our ever-lasting gratitude was given to the producers and directors of this drama, the faculty. As the curtain ,.,f .cf came down, we remembered the enioyment we experiencd in acting our school days on the stage ii, -'U A of the Calvert theater. page twenty-five

RICHARD BLAES ROSE ANN BORER There are two honor rolls on which every Calvert senior would be happy to find his name. The one lists those whose scholastic attainments have merited an average of A in all subiects for the four years of their high school course. The other carries the names of those who have maintained at least a B plus average in both religion and character rating during the four years. From the scholastic honor roll are chosen the speakers who represent the class on graduation night. In choosing the salutatorian and the valedictorian, both scholarship and speaking ability govern the choice. This year, Rose Ann Borer, who is in first place on the honor roll, will give the class welcome, while Richard Blaes will deliver the farewell.
