ORGANIZATION CAMPUS ALBUM ont A teen i lett Baas ON William Stanislaus Hoffman DEDICAT FON URING the past four years we have learned many things. The sciences, the arts, the languages all have had a place in our education. These are things which might be measured more or less accurately. But there have been other more subtle influences which have aided in our final formation. and which do not admit of measurement. One of the strong lasting influences has bee n that of Coach William S. Hoffman. Since his coming to Campion, more than three generations of boys have experienced his kindly advice, his calm manner, his quiet manliness, his forceful strength of character. And whether it were on the field, or in the scholarly atmosphere of his office, they have carried away with them the budding hope that they might be like him. To have thus brought the impress of his character to bear on the thousands who have known him, and learned from him, through thirty five years is Coach Hoffman’s contribution to Campion; and it is an im- portant contribution. It is our privilege, we feel, to acknowledge by this dedication the value of his part in our training. ig oe Saal eiinreee termannatr dead wis esineniaioatnatuagonstekaonaimaccedpamitoa rete rere aerial ine pash wetre ae eee a pei F ee ee rp rer oee tery tea j Srereapitt Gymnasium he ee Sn entlmmaan ee ; hah PT aa AC. aoa oto Loyola Hall ; ' : : Rp SEE eirecormetide Nate - ae alk ay 4 f 5 ee 3 p : ics f Me ibgi et ee r a ae 2 en rz as te Pieuraiee Fee ere |. 7a aes, i ; + : pereay © q ica dla. te ba A da «2. A - an ae ES a SE) ae ae Kostka Hall Lawler Hall Paul E. Glynn Treasurer REV. THOMAS J. STEMPER, S.J. President The President's Message: es to school is what I might call a profession. A large part of that profession concerns itself with the serious business of learning how to earn a living. But the student should learn something of far greater value; he should learn how to live. You, seniors, I like to believe, have learned that lesson in your years at Campion. To have learned how to live means that you have made Christ a part, an important part of your lives. He must continue to dominate your every hope, your every aspiration. His way of life must be your way. There is none other. Campion sends you forth on the road of life with pride and with great ex- same pectations. She sends you with God’s blessing. CAMPION R. A. BERNERT, S.J. Principal Although both our principals, Fr. R. A. Bernert, 5.J., and his assistant, Fr. C. M. Reinert, S.J., stepped in- to unfamiliar posts last August, no one can deny that they had the sure ease of veterans in solving the many and varied problems that confronted them through the course of the year. CoM SRAINE Ries Sed Assistant E. J. HIPSCHEN, S.J. ADMINISTRATION No year book would be complete without some mention of those who assume the dif- ficult burden of directing and supervising the operational functions involved in keeping alive the spiritual and material ends of a school. Fr. T. J. Stemper, S.J., president for the past five years, has again successfully directed the business affairs of Campion. Fr. E. W. Courtney, S.J., as superintendent, has very ad- mirably handled the responsibility for Cam- pion’s material upkeep. What we owe to those who have unselfishly helped us through the most important years of our lives is more than we can properly ex- press in words. We shall always strive, how- ever, to show them our appreciation by our earnest attempt at being a credit to Campion, its standards and its ideals. J. P. KRAMPER, S.J.

Keeney Editor, The Campionette SENTOR LEADERS Through the tireless efforts of our editors, Dave Keeney and Jim Hessburg of the “ETTE and KNIGHT respectively, the senior class acquired a lasting memorial and a fitting tribute to its fame. In the first semester Jim William- son, John Vogel, Dave Doyle, and Dick Hogan were elected to posts in the “Voice” of the student body, the conclave . . . Captain Eddie Beyer, by his fine leadership and determined line play, sparked the football squad to a thrilling season. In the second semester we began with almost the same crew in the conclave, Jack Coupe spearing election honors, this time... Colonel Ed Fitzgerald, the Eisen- hower of the ROTC, was chosen, and ably fulfilled his duties as battalion commander . . . Expert ball handling and deadly long shots was the platform on which Jack Coupe was elected captain of the Campion cagers by his team mates. James P. Hessburg Editor, The Campion Knight John R.

They come in the form of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Because they are, shall we say, inferior, there is no reason to leave them out of our yearbook. Deny it if you will, they are still as human as seniors. Note the eager forward expression of the freshmen— the practiced eye of the stamp collector, the vitality of the sturdy hiker. That’s the way they come, the raw material. In the sophs, a bit of the. dash and fire is gone. But they all go out and make the varsity so they don’t miss it. A glance will reveal a listless expression in the eyes of the juniors. Gone is the love of labor. Only a bitter aversion for it remains. OAS ES Reading left to right; front row: Gardner, Price, J.

This seems to be “the line” in front of Loyola Hall. Presence of the sedate sophs is a convincing proof, Camera-shy Nasser, to the left, keeps his eyes closed.

Bb. ie hes - THE HOFFMEN of 1946 Coach Hoffman Despite the scarcity of returning lettermen and the inexperience of many of the prospects, Coach Hoffman and ass’t. Coach Krieg were able to field another smooth functioning unit that waded through a stiff eight-game schedule with a record of six victories and two defeats. The squad was typical of Campion teams of the past with the accent on teamwork and hustle. It scaled the heights on Homecoming Day to trounce highly rated St. Ambrose. This left no doubt about the Knites’ spirit and determina- tion.

Displaying plenty of grinding power, the Knites rushed across two touchdowns in the first quarter, both of which came on a smasher by Miller Bransfield. A blocked punt set up the first tally and a brilliant 25 yard scamper by Jack Leonard was a major in the second goalward drive. fA o5 touchdown sprint by Bevenour, the visitors’ right halfback, cut the Knites’ mar- gin to 7 points at the half. yard Aquinas, Injuries, Halt Knites, 24-13 Nov. 4, La Crosse, Wis.—With a second half spurt the Aquinas Blugolds rallied to defeat an injured Campion eleven, 24-13. Rendler and Wanner carried the ball down to the Knite 29 early in the first period. Rend- ler rifled a pass to Graf who ran it over from the 5. Murphy’s Placement was wide. Campion evened matters on a 70 yard drive highlighted by two passes and� a 15 yard run. Pechous scored an a quarterback sneak and Doyle booted the _ point. After a Blugold fumble in the second period Pechous hit Doyle with a pass down the middle to the 3. It was Doyle this time off tackle to score. In the third quarter Rendler flipped a pass to Wanner on the 7 for a score. During the final frame Wanner returned a Campion punt to midfield where Rendler reeled off 32 yards. In four running plays the Blugolds tallied again. A long heave from Doyle to Conlin set up the third marker which occurred shortly after when Doyle passed to Pechous in the end zone. Another aerial from Doyle to Pechous rounded out the day’s scoring in the closing period. Logan Succumbs, 20-0 October 19, Campion Field— After Campion’s ground assault had been hampered by a_ sub- born Logan forward wall, Dave Doyle uncorked three touchdown passes to spark the Knites to a resounding 20 to 0 triumph. Following a scoreless first quarter, the Knites struck sud- denly through the air on a long heave from Dave Doyle to Ed Conlin after Harpring had put the pigskin in scoring position with an intercepted pass. Before five minutes of the second half had elapsed, pion had scored again, this time with Harpring on the receiving end of one of Doyle’s aerials. The Knites applied the crush- er in the fourth quarter when Doyle lofted a 30 yard beauty to Grigsby for a touchdown to climax an 80 yard drive to pay- dirt. Cam- Gubs’ Passes Win, 13-6 Campion Field—Campion ran up against an alert Loras Acad- emy team today, and came out on the short end of a 138-16 score. After Gallrado had given Loras a first down on the Knites’ 25, Schluester plunged to the 8, and fumbled. Cagney pounced on the ball. Four plays later Cagney punted to. the Loras 30.

Pass Starts Rally Campion Field— Taking quick advantage of an intercepted pass, the Knites drove 55 yards to score the lone tally of the contest, which was the margin of victory as they edged a highly regarded Mar- quette eleven 7 to 0. September 28, During the scoreless first half Marquette with the aid of Rus- so, hard running fullback, came close to hitting paydirt on two occasions, but fumbles at ecrit- ical times stopped these scoring threats.

This vietory made Cam- pion’s final record six wins to two setbacks. St. Mary’s pushed across their lone touchdown midway in the first period as Zelinski, the Zephyrs’ quarterback, scooted 15 yards to paydirt on a very deceptive quarterback sneak. After the Knites had recover- ed a blocked punt, Dave Doyle whipped a payoff pitch to Char- ley Pechous which gave Cam- pion a 7 to 6 advantage at the intermission. The Knites put the game on ice in the third quarter as Pechous plowed six yards to from there the Knites put on a sustained 55 yard march, with Bransfield finally lugging it over on two smashes from the 16 yard yard line. A pass from Coupe to Pechous netted the ex- tra point to give the Knites a 7 to 0 lead which they never relinquished. Scots Threaten, Vvilt, Lose, 13-6, in Final October 6, Campion Field—In an unexpectedly close fray, the Knites had to overcome an early 6 point deficit to nose out an underrated McDonell team 13 LOW. McDonell bounced into an early first period lead as they took the initial kick-off and stampeded 75 yards to score. Rhomberg and Fatum_ broke through to block the conversion attempt and keep the margin at 6 points. Campion knotted the count in the second quarter on an 11 yard smash by Miller Bransfield climaxing a 55 yard drive to paydirt. An important factor in their jaunt was two well executed end around plays by Bob Cagney for a total of 33 yards. The try for the con- version failed. Shortly after the start of the fourth quarter the Knites put on their victory march with Harpring skirting over from. the 5 to end a 45 yard drive to a touchdown. Doyle passed to Pechous for the extra point to raise the count to 13 to 6. —s score, after which Campion’s defense was sufficient to protect their lead. Ey fos THE SQUAD.

Mgr.), Leonard, Doyle, Offenbecher, Stine. The Knites opened the season in promising fashion as they reeled off four successive victories. Thereafter, despite the best efforts of Coach Hoff- man and the team, Campion suffered nine defeats in the next thirteen contests to end with a fair record of seven wins and nine eetbacks. Two quintets that caused the Knites the most trouble were Aquinas and St. Mary’s of Menasha. Each defeated Campion twice. However, there were a few high spots during the season, probably the most satisfying of which was the Knites’ stun- ning victory over a potent Loras quintet that had Rhomberg puts in another rebound previously beaten Campion down at Dubuque. The mainstays of the Knite squad were Jack Coupe and Jack Rhomberg. Coupe was always a threat with his accurate set shots swishing through the hoop. In later games he served as a good steadying influence on some of the younger players. Rhomberg was the team’s high scorer and most dependable on rebounds. So although the team’s record was not a howl- ing success, some solace can be found in the fact that the experience gained this season can serve as a foundation for a successful campaign next year.

Scoring honors for Campion went to Jack Coupe with 5 field goals and 1 charity toss. The Knites displayed a tight defense as Jack Rhomberg and Vic Rosenberger controlled both backboards., Jan. 17—A towering Knite team in their first post-holiday appear- ance outshot a spirited Lansing squad 47-26. It was 2 straight for the Hoffmen as the Lansing outfit could not combat their stratos- phere passing and rebound work. Some sparkling shooting highlight- ed the second half. Rhomberg with 13 and Fishback and Fitzgerald with 9 points each led the win- ners. Jan. 23—After overcoming an early 3 point deficit, the Knites were never headed, as they handed Lansing High its second trouncing with a week, 26-14. Lansing played a hustling game but mixed plenty of laughs with their basketball. The Knites came to life in the fourth quarter and rolled 10 points through the hoop to win going away. Jack Coupe’s lay up shot closed the scoring. Capt. Jack Coupe Jan. 26—The Campion Knites were defeated at Winona, Minne- sota, by Cotter High for the first time this year, 36-30. It was a game which could have gone either way but Cotter came through in the closing minutes to clinch the game. Rhomberg’s 4 baskets in the second quarter put the Knites ahead with a comfortable 20-14 lead. Cotter closed the gap in the second half. Rhomberg led with 1: Jan. 29—The Hoffmen traveled to La Crosse to suffer their second straight setback within three days as they dropped a 51-40 contest to Aquinas.

Saunier was close on Coupe’s heels with 7 markers. Borne of the Badgers led the scor- ing column with a total of 15 points. The fast break employed by the town team eventually prov- ed too much for the Knites. Feb. 15—Despite a last minute rally, the best the Knites could do was to make it close, as they were defeated 37-35 on the home court by Aquinas. This was the Knites’ fifth consecutive setback. Vic Ros- enberger’s height was insufficient against the Blugold efficiency. Aquinas drove constantly at a terrific rate, never slacking their pace. Their superb condition told.

The pace set by Clark and company was too fast for the Knites and after the open- ing of the third quarter the out- come was never in doubt. Coupe and Rhomberg were high scorers with 13 and 10 points. Feb. 24—In the most impressive game to date the Knites trounced a formidable Savanna High quin- tet 42-26. Prior to this defeat Sa- vanna boasted 14 wins out of 17 games. Coach Hoffman pulled a surprise in starting a revamped lineup. As things later panned out, he knew what he was doing. The starters played Savanna on almost even terms. Scoring honors were fairly well divided. Feb. 26—Eager to avenge a defeat dealt to them Feb. 19—Sparked by the sharp shooting of Jim Rose, the Knites broke a 6 game losing streak as they trounced a tall but inept Monona quintet by a decisive 38-14 score.

He racked up 21 points during the game, the highest individual score seen on the home distance on the 16 point efforts of Jack Rhomberg. floor. earlier in the season, a quick-breaking Savanna combine dusted their hoops with a bucket barrage which tripped a visiting Knite five 51-40.

The game reached its peak of excitement in the last half minute when the Gubs scored 7 points and almost took the decision. Rhomberg and Rose again topped the scoring column for the Knites with 13 and 11 points respectively. Mar. 8—Campion’s hopes for closing the basketball season with a victory were blasted when a classy St. Mary’s team put on a scoring spurt in the third quarter to deal the Knites a 37-27 trim- ming. The first half which saw both teams far below their best form was a slow moving affair. The pace quickened in the third quarter. Rhomberg in his last ap- pearance donated 15 points to Campion’s total. Van Fishback Guard Dick Spence Manager Mar. 2—Coach Hoffman’s cage minions gained a measure of re- venge for a previous defeat at the hands of McDonell by smothering the Scotsmen 35-23. Rhomberg was high point man with 14, Rose was right behind him with 11. After a slow start the Knites put on the power and rode through to a decisive lead. They were never headed by the Scots. Feb. 7—Capitalizing on its dead- ly setshot accuracy a tricky Loras cage combine outlasted a stubborn Campion quintet 28-24. The con- test was rather slow-moving throughout, but it proved to be a nightmare for the visitors who could barely find the hoop.

With seven returning letter- men and a host of promising fledglings, prospects for a clean slate this year seemed brighter than ever before. Among the more outstanding newcomers are Jim Rose and Bob Cagney vying for honors in the pole vault. John Walker will make a good distance man, and, Pete Maloy looks very good in the broad jump and short distances. Three matches have been tentatively scheduled thus far. Platteville, Loras, and Aquinas are expected to furnish the opposition in these meets. However, with such an imposing array of stars, Coach Hoffman expects little trouble in these accounts. Both Coach Hoffman and Coach Krieg certainly deserve the praise of the student body for the wonderful work they are doing. With a combination like this, the prospects are not only bright but dazzling. Harpring hurls one GOLF On the golf course, early this year, a fast moving seven day tournament started the season off on the right note. Sixteen determined men took the field and of these, Van Fishback, Jack Bougearel, Tony Sullivan, and Bob Walt- ers remained as opponents in the semi-finals. Eighteen holes were covered, scores counted up, and it was Sulli- van vs. Fishback for the final play. Tony overcame Van in a thirty-six hole match and took the tournament title.

With Jerry Adler lending his weight at fullback, Becker and Froehlke cavorting at the halves, and Fitzgerald calling the shots, the Cee Jay backfield gave their opponents many a full afternoon of trouble. The forward wall was strengthened with Zimmer and Stoeckinger at the ends, Molidor and Theisen at the guards, and Beckman and Ryan at the tackles. Paonessa handled the center slot in capable fashion.

INTRA FOOTBALL Sportsmanship—where else can you de- velop this except on a football field, the hardwood court, or on a_ baseball dia- | mon? For this purpose and many others | the intramural system is carried on at Campion. Under this system the fellows are able to discover the need of team work, the competitive spirit, how to think quick- ly, and, last but not least, develop them- selves physically as well as mentally. A person has to learn early in life how to. take hard knocks. He can learn this les- son best in sports because here he learns 1 6 to “take” as well as to’ “give.” This year the intramural athletic pro- gram was under the direction of Messrs. J. F.

With the end of the season came the annual tournament; and the games rival- led the varsity’s for thrill and excitement. The purpose of the leagues is to provide opportunity for the entire student body to participate in organized games. This brings each student a knowledge of the game and the necessary sportsmanship that goes with it, pre- senting the needed balance between the classroom and the gymnasium, the mental and physical development. Five classifications covered the ability of every mem- ber of the division. Men were selected for the various classes according to their ability, size, and experience. Mr. R. G.

S. de Ranitz and commanded by Cadet Capt. Thomas Zuber, at all times was a necessary adjunct to the snappy marching of the battalion. In the past five years, the band has been awarded the Jewett trophy three times. This trophy ig an annual award presented to the best drilled company in the battalion. The band is truly the sparkplug of the batta- lion.

The student conclave is the closest imitation of governmental, democracy which could exist among high school students. The system adopted at Campion gives the students an appreciation of representation, and of the right and privilege of voting. It not only gives them an opportunity to participate in school legislation but also prepares them for the time when democracy and anarchy, representation and dictatorship are not just words they read, and hear their elders use. Four students from each year, sophomore, junior, and senior make up the governing body of the conclave. The twelve officers are elected by their respective class mates for a period-term of one semester arid are eligible for re-election the following semester. CULTURAL COM.

Ably guided this year by Mr. John J. Downes, it again played an important role in the school’s welfare. During the school year meetings were held each month with the exception of December and May.

The “99” Club Pepsi Cola Scholarship: Robert Rufflo, James | Williamson, Thomas Zuber, Paul Sauer One of the most pathetic of aberrations is the phe- nomenon of one who does not feel the need of picking up lost sleep in class, free reading in study hall, skipping home work, and the other points of a normal student’s life. “But to each his due reward.” It takes a lot of gumption to keep driving hard at the books when you could just relax and get by. It’s much easier to sit back and watch the study hall clock creep around to free read- ing. School time is a time to work. These boys have seen their duty and done it, whether hard or long or boring. They write their exams, we execute ours, or so we are told. They do their homework, and we studiously copy it. In the words of Winston Churchill, “Never have and for this reason so many owed so much to so few” we set aside this section in their memory.

It is possible to become a mem- ber only through participation in any of the three major sports, football, basketball, and track. Membership in the monogram club is the symbol of true school spirit, that distinctive Campion determination. Several times a year, the club sponsors programs and movies to procure funds to provide the letters and sweaters its members have merited. Its members act as ushers at productions in the auditorium and gymnasium. They also act as officials at track meets and as student military police. —111— 1. sigiaiawncresanaen = a lampion Raia ht- Probably the greatest memorial to the departing seniors is the Campion Knight, which reflects not only the achievements of the seniors, but of the entire school. 1 James P.

Two junior classmen, Robert Merkle Editor 7 and Lee Bachle, were invaluable with their Speed Graphics. Anthony Sullivan was the senior photographer.

While The ’Ette. makes no pretensions to metropolitan influence or fame, the clamor that goes up when it is late is sufficient proof of its popularity. Dave Keeney as editor-in-chief steered the paper through its year long run. John Vogel served as news editor. The Cam- pionette wore a new format on its first ap- pearance last September. Apparently the readers like the new stream-lined version if their praise is to be any gauge. We would be remiss, in speaking of the staff, were we to omit mention of the circulation ce f croup under the tutelage of Gene Walker and Joe Yott. ' David J. Keeney | Editor CON GER T BAND Under the able direction of Professor S. S. de Ranitz, the concert band this year fulfilled its primary objective which is to provide music of high cali- ber. By doing so, it has proved itself an essential organization at Campion. The concert band performed for all important school activities and present: ed several concerts. Most noteworthy of these was the band’s special concert presented at Homecoming entitled “Gay Nineties” which was accepted with overwhelming approval by the students and the many visitors who attended. KV Cex KVOX, commonly called the “Voice of Campion,” has as its aim, through the presentation of radio plays, the training of its members in radio tech- nique. This year, under the direction of Mr. A. J. Brenner, S. J.,. KVOX has more than proved its worth by the superb en- actment of the play: “A Little Child Shall Lead Them” at Thanksgiving.

For the flash bulb fanatics there are opportunities to get shots printed in either the Campionette or Campion Knight plus a developing room with complete paraphernalia plus the ever present old timers who are always ready for a tip. Then for the students who like to build their ideas in miniature, there is the Hobby Shop, where a boy can compete with other modelers, swap ideas wi th them, and get a bit of free advice when it is needed. Camera Club —116— The Junior Division Sodality is under the supervision of Rev. A. J. Deeman, S.J. It is directed by three student officers, who control the four committees of which it is com- prised: the Eucharistic, Our Lady’s, Catholic Leadership, and Catholic Literature, each of which has its special function. With intent of developing good Catholic speakers, the Sodality forum has been in- augurated this year. The chair- man of each commi ttee selects his best speakers who talk be- fore the whole assembly on top- ics of Catholic action and other important subjects. Thus the Sodality is forming better Cath- loic speakers and better inform- ed Catholic men.

This is not always accomplished. Occasionally a photograph sneaks by, despite careful weeding, that mis- represents the Campion boy. He may resemble a hyena or a calloused lifer. Bear with us when we say the Campion boy is neither of these. He is a gentle, affectionate ani- mal little given to rowdyism. He is a model student at all times, and would be shocked at the mere thought of flunking. He is ever on friendly terms with his teachers and is unquestionably honest in exams. He displays breeding and culture in the presence of ladies. He is a sport, applauding the opposing team with a hearty cheer for the ref when his team loses. ee! 4: te a see a — ne Ce a Mie — a JUG NO TIA .
