How well Father Curtin has fulfilled his position as Prefect of Discipline, is exemplified by the spirit of awe with which we encompassed his name, when fresh- men. The four years under his guidance have detracted nothing from our respect for him, but have allowed us to live and work with a kind, sympathetic and underi standing man. In a class by itself is his boundless patience. Some four hundred and fifty boys can become very trying, a fact for which F ather'Curtin can probably vouch, yet never once has he deviated from his policy of directing the misguided and pointing out to the misinformed the road heavenward. VVe are speaking for the Senior Class as a whole when we say that his is a face and character that will grace our thoughts for many, many years to come. For only one year have we known Father Riordan, yet as is characteristic of the wholly likeable, we feel as if we have always known him. A true spirit of co-operation existed between teacher and pupil in all of his classes. It is difficult to find a teacher whose teaching ability is spiced with enough wit to make a class inter- esting, and enough discipline to keep it in order. Yet such is the case with Father Riordan, who in the words of his own pupils is kind, genial, an excellent teacher and a master of discipline. No higher tribute can a teacher receive, nor no greater proof can we have of his greatness, than thus to have earned the love, respect and praise of his own pupils. Two years prior to this, our graduation, we welcomed Father Reed to the tedious and difficult task of governing and guiding the student body. He never betrayed our trust in him, nor made us regret our hearty welcome. A year of being Principal wears hard on a man, and two years of such work is extremely trying. But at all our proposals and when settling our difficulties, he belied the strain that his ofiice had put upon him. Always was the quiet, refined voice tempered with that of unconquerable will power, a quality that well fits him for so responsible a position. In every instance we found, behind his desk, an active participant as well as a loyal supporter, whenever we embarked on a new venture, or broached a new proposal. Coupled with his refined and kindly nature, this quality of hearty support in the school's activities merits him the title of a real Jesuit. To Father Reed, Father Curtin and Father Riordan, our guides to Christ, we dedicate this, our final effort at Canisius, the Yearbook of 1941. a TIO Reverend Lorenzo K. Reed, S.J.

Like Ignatius Loyola, who faced the onslaught of the Reformation, the Graduates emerge from four years under his guidance into the very jaws of a world crisis. Contained in this, their Yearbook, are the memories, the leaders, the advisors, and the teachings which will remain to guide them on the road to Christ. The soldier saint, Ignatius of Loyola, imparted his characteristics and his pattern of life to his six original companions, and now with numbers swelled, their successors are sending forth the Class of 1941 to carry on the fight. Fortified by four years of spiritual and mental guidance, the Graduates set out on life's road to march not always serenely but rather courageously on the course laid down for them by Ignatius, Xavier, Canisius and four centuries of Jesuit Graduates. They leave herein the mementoes of four years spent in preparation, and bidding farewell they join the other sons of Canisius as . . . The Graduating Class of 1941.

It is a trained, formidable army of youth, but its allegiance is to a Kingdom that is not of this world. Its members are joined in serried, marching ranks in the Mystical Body of Christ. Those ranks are indestructible. They have marched endlessly, following their Leader, waging His wars, winning hard victories, earning the one reward that satisfies the heart of man. Individuals may fall by the wayg but the ranks march on and will march on through all human crises, tragedies, and triumphs. This army does not join the children ofthe world in their despairing search for a godlike mang it has no part in isms, panaceas, or utopias. Its greatest objective and its deepest joy are loyalty to its divine Leader and the benison of His love. As St. Ignatius began the work, which has lasted four centuries, in the grotto of Manresa, aloneg so, every Graduate of 1941, as a member of this prevailing spiritual army, knows his arena is the grotto of his own immortal soul. He knows that once he has attained, through grace, to an ardent love of the Son of God, all these other things will be added. x I . 1 Nfl' ,Q 516: Qx! was- -e fsxf Q on 1 'fl' f Q, .1 fx .

Down the centuries, whether their dawn was brilliant with peace and promise or shrouded in threatening clouds and heavy gloom, the youth have always peered into the spreading light with brave, eager, searching eyes. The particular heritage of the Class of 1941 brings them face to face with a future menaced by forces alien to their tra- ditions and to their aspirations. For them, more than for most generations of youth, truly to live will be to contest and conquer. With a solemn though buoyant awareness of the rigors of the way that lies ahead, they whisper the prayer: Lord, ifThou art with us, who can be against us? They dedicate themselves to the leadership of the Son of God, and march forth resolutely into a disorderly, dis- consolate world. It is in the spirit of this dedication that they present be lmses xl 1 X 35651 if -, I Z wi -gi 1 Tx! gx Q lush ao' '70, N 0 f O 'Q 5' o -5- 0 rA L09 Dl1'.'lR GR.lDU.I TES: Thrrr is an old axiom that frmly tclLs us, Mm nrr thr rrraturrs of their idralsf' Efvrryonr in thr world follows surh idrals.

DERGRADUATE CLASSES Iii f 5 mt tj. ' M, re V '35, 1 'frea k it , LGGKI G BACKQQ-t.1ere lVe would set down for the memories of later years some reflections and impres- sions on the lighter moments which spiced the four-year diet of studies and class and books and made it more palatable. Therefore, taking matters in their chronological order, we shall begin with First Year when the stalwart Seniors we now see about us were mere Freshmen, mainly in knickers, most with their hair uncombed, and all a bit apprehensive. ln First Year the main impression was one of humility and vague distress. Sophomores smiled at us strangely, Juniors and Seniors seemed not to see us, and the dripping jaws of .lug constantly hung open. For the first time in our lives we had homework, and the prospect of learning Latin terrified us. lVhat Senior will ever forget his first sight of George Meyers? NVQ had heard shuddery tales of this shade that stalked the halls of Canisius but had supposed him at best to be a mythical character. One day we found he was real, when we saw a shade like that of Palinurus gliding along the lower corridor. After the apparition had gone we asked a passing Senior what it was. He said it was'George Meyers and that we should treat him with respect since he was one of thqmost influential members of the Faculty. It was some time before we were disabused of the notion. lVith Mr. Hayes' comprehensive algebra tests, Father Farricker's after-school Latin sessions. hlr. Diemert's history classes and other blood-chilling experiences we managed to blunder through First Year. Many of us passed the final exams, and we were promoted to Second Year, where a somewhat different set of circumstances commanded our attention. , Our feeling toward the Freshmen was one of contempt and might be likened to Nero's for the early Christians. One persecuted them but at the same time ignored them. As Mr. F riel puts it, In First Year you don't know what the score isg in Second Year you think you own the place: in Third Year you begin to settle down. Mr. F riel had no comment to make on Fourth Year but we may draw our own conclusions. After this interesting period we threw away our Caesar's Dc Bello Galliro and entered our junior Year, which was a strange combination of laughter and tears. VVith Third Year an entirely new change comes over the average Canisius student. He is no longer the timid Freshman or the noisy, boyish Sophomore. Though he has his forgetful moments, he usually acquires a grave, dignified manner well suited to his somewhat lofty position. Third Year introduced us to Cicero berating Catiline, the assorted odors of chemistry lab, the tangles and triangles of geometry. Somehow we weathered the storm. lVe were becoming hardened now to the rigors of Province Exams, and the teachers tossed in enough life-lines to pull us through. Fourth Year was now upon us and we agreed it was the most pleasant. VVe were mellowed now, aged in the wood. VVe had learned that the mind is sharpened on the whetstone of work, and we were inured to making up our minds, seeing me after class and shouldering the burden of responsibility. VVe were now the Captains of sports, Editors of the Arena, Varsity Debaters and we had to wear our laurels with becoming dignity. True, we had our undignified moments when desperate teachers assured us that we had the ripe maturity of eighth-grade grammar schoolers. VVe smiled through it all, knowing that june was not far 05, and anyway we knew ITl0St the teachers' line by heart. They meant well. jug, however, still had its irritating qualities, especially on days we had dates for the evening and wanted to get our homework done in the afternoon. And so, we have paused now briefly to look back over these moments of adventure and laughter, which we probably will remember better than amo, amas, amat and the square of the hypotenusef' And having paused, we pass on to Graduation and beyond. It was good to have been here. .-1 ,va -m A --' ,ei w.,,, ifxrggg- St. Ignatius Lo ola Met a Challenging Future with Prayer, Discipline, Love ST. IGNATIUS LOYOLA, through his early maturity, had been a man of the world. He had been numbered among the noble- men of a frivolous royal court. As a soldier, he had seen the license and misery of camp and campaign. He knew the spirit of the world through revealing contact with it. Thus, he was well qualified to guide those who, like our Graduates of 19-il, though living in the world, would rise above its standards. It is signihcarit that Ignatius, once he had decided to enlist in the service of the Kingdom of God, first strove to establish the supremacy of God in his own personality. So, long before he sought to influence others, Ignatius took up the arduous, prayerful work of forming his character after the model of jesus Christ. He aspired to challenge the spirit of the world only after years of self-discipline, aided by grace, had set his heart aflame with personal love for the Son of God. That work, that discipline, that love, crystallized into The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, became a master-plan by which hundreds of thousands of Jesuits shaped their lives for sanctity and leadership, and a chart by which un- numbered others found their way through the anxieties, trials, and crises of this world to the peace which surpasses understanding. g if S l X 1' ..

Theyhave received the best in preparatory education, not only measuring up to the stand- ards ofthe leading educational associations, but skillfully de- signed to train both the intellect and the will. In addition, they have had the opportunity to develop worthwhile lei- sure-time interests, to mingle with graciousness and ease among their fellow men, and to make practical application of the arts of speaking and writing. Most important, through their work in the Sodality and their attendance at Holy Mass and the Sacraments, they are well started on the task of molding their characters to the divine Ideal.

Ralph Sturt- zer. S.J., Moderator. Under the capable direction of Reverend Ralph A. Sturtzer, S..l., the lloderator and lfdward S. Blurphy, Prefect, the Senior Sodality this year engaged in an unusually active year. liarly in September Father Sturtzer organized the Duces Club which consists of those who attend Blass faithfully and receive Holy Communion in the chapel on Blonday, VVednesday and Friday of every week. This is a special function of the Sodality and embraces only the spiritual leaders of the school. ln connection with this activity is also the K.B.S. which demands attendance at Blass and reception of Holy Communion on Friday. Not satisfied with this, Father Sturtzer then explained the necessity and import- ance of collecting stamps for the foreign missions. This campaign was promptly launched and enthusiastically supported by the hlission section of the Sodality. The next affair occurred in November when the St. Vincent de Paul Committee made a vigorous appeal to the students for old clothes in a determined effort to assist their less fortunate brethren for which. without doubt, they were gratefully blessed by the benign Hand of Almighty God. Uespite the fact that a great deal of their time was occupied with this Christ-like charity, the Sodalists found time to take part in a particularly colorful pageant on December 3rd and Sth, conducted by the Reverend Laurence E. Stanley, SJ., in honor of the Four Hundredth Anniversary of the Society of jesus. This pageant smoothly and masterfully represented the foundation and progress of the Jesuit Order throughout its history. Following the mid-year examinations, activities were resumed as usual and for the first time since its organization in Buffalo. the Sodality sponsored a Slavonic Blass in the lfastern Greek Rite. celebrated by lfrather Zuck of the Greek Church on JUNIOR SODALITY OFFICERS Standing Suchan, R.

As soon as the Mass was finished Father Zuck pointed out to the Sodalists the simil- arity between the Greek Rite and the Latin Rite, concluding his brief, informative talk by showing that both lllasses are essentially the same. About a month later, Lent began and Father Sturtzer announced that lN'Iass would be celebrated in the Student Chapel every day for those who wished to attend. He also exhorted us to make some sacrifices during Lent, an appeal which resulted in a great increase of attendance at Holy Blass. lVhile every Sodalist was fervently intent upon persevering in his individual sacrifices, an event occurred which is worthy of. mention. '- On hlarch 17th, Father Lord, Kloderator of the Sodality in the United States, visited Buffalo. Students representing every Catholic High School in the city and even from distant suburban areas were present at the Sodality conference held in the Knights of Columbus Auditorium. It is needless to say that Canisius men were well represented. The final event of the year was the Skating Party held on the evening of lNIay 21st under the Sodality auspices. This was the last affair in which the seniors par- ticipated: but not their farewell to the Sodality, because wherever they may be they will always consider themselves as Clients of lylary. f' '- The junior Sodality enjoyed Z1 most fruitful year with the invaluable aid of Father Lynch, S.J., hloderator. 'lihe outstanding event which riveted the attention of the school upon the junior Division was the reception of ninety-six freshmen on Blay 5th into the esteemed ranks of Sodalists of Our Blessed lllother.

Charles YVechter was chosen Editor-in-Chief, Edward Hoyczyk, lllanaging Editor, and Arthur O'Dea, Business llfianager. 1Vith the stall organized, work earnestly got underway on the book itself.

On the evenings of the 6th and 7th of February of this year, Canisius High School presented its animal play, Brother Orchid , in the Knights of Columbus Auditorium. Due to the untiring efforts of lllr. Hal llordaunt, the director, and Father Taylor, SJ., the moderator of Dramatics, the play was an outstanding success, both for performances of all the members of the cast, and likewise for its enthusiastic reception by the audience. The story, Brother Orchid, concerns a typical big-town gang of racketeers, its activities, its leaders. Playing the difficult role of Little john Sarto, a big-shot gangster, Paul Dole gave an excellent account of himself, and most deservedly won the gold medal, awarded for excellence in dramatics. Fat Dutchie, the grumbling tough before the boys and the meek lamb before his bosses, was portrayed quite effectively by Charles LoCurto, who along with Francis Elsinghorst, as an excellent Brother Nasturtium, won honorable mention for his acting. Lucian Parlato added a great deal of color to the play as the Italian fruit peddler, Dominic Battista. One Abbot Jonquil CPaul Walczakj congratulates Brother Orchid on his vow day. 1 , i i Warden pleads with Dyke to reveal identity to Paris. of the extraordinary characters was the role of Dum Dum, a deaf and dumb torpedo, played to perfection by Robert Fitzpatrick. George Zimmermann, as Brother Hollyhockg Paul NValczak, as Abbot Jonquilg james lXIcArtney, as Frecklesg james Hanlon, as the Gimpg Theodore Kasprzyk, as Solomon: Richard Frou and Leonard Conroy, as Brothers of the Nlonastery, all played their parts very well and each one helped in no small manner to make the drama a far better-t'han-average production. On the whole the plot was well worked out, except where in sections it tended to become just a bit too preachy . On llay Sth and 9th of this year, Canisius High presented its three annual one-act plays. The acting in all three was very well done in spite of the fact that there were several newcomers to the stage. Signals blazed the trail as the first play, a comic melodrama. Another comedy, The Girl , starred Dion Rahill, who had good support from l-Villiam Burke and James llladdigan. Paul Dole acquitted himself excellently as the headliner of the final production, a tragedy, entitled, The Valiant . -lohn lVick. Lucian Parlato and Charles Bigelow formed an able supporting cast. Likewise credit is due the stagehands, Herbert Schaefer, Howard VVinkler, Edward Klichalski, James Clauss, Edward Brown and Albert Petrella. who worked unnoticed, but whose eHorts were greatly appreciated.

There has been a great deal of activity this past year within t h e Senior Debate class. During the early part of the year the Behrens Society was given over to open forums where the pertinent questions of the day were heatedly dis- cussed. There was par- ticular interest in the pre- election speeches in Octo- ber and November. Some of the more prominent speakers during this period were Zewe, Lillis, Pe- trella, O'Dea and Dole. Should t h e city of Buffalo manage the system of buses and street-cars? Should Canisius High School substitute a system of intra-mural sports for her present inter-scholastic one? Should the gov- ernment conscript labor? Should a law forbidding a third term be enacted? These were some of the questions 1' un over the coals by excited members after the presidential elec- tion spirit had died down. H The present war aroused a great deal of hot dis- cussion among the mem- bers on the issues of aid to Britain and a War ref- erendum. Klocke, Zimp- fer, Conniff and Nlurphy are to be listed among those who expressed them- selves pro and con on the points at issue. Toward Behind the scenes in all this work of the orators and debaters were the untiring efforts of the various moderators and coaches. Lillis and Nlurphy had the inspiring, patient coaching of Father Clark in their oratorical efforts. Father Botti plowed through thick tomes with Elsinghorst in preparation for the Legion Contests. Father Malone and llrlr. Hayes developed the junior debaters. PHILHARMONIC A SOCIETY Graduation will take five members from the Philharmonic Society this june. john Fronczak and limil Grzybowski pass from the violin section while Edmund XVardynski, Frank Kieffer and Ambrose Blaciejewski leave some important gaps to be filled in the brass and woodwinds. All have been with the Orchestra since its inception four years ago, and they merit high tribute for their grand work in helping to make the musical ensemble an organization of which Canisius can be justly proud. A standard has been set which future members can emulate. It is hard to single out individuals for s pe ci a l mention, since the Orches- tra's splendid achieve- ments came from the fine playing of each. At the concerts Jack Klocke was a boon with his piano solos. Those Spanish num- bers took on added zest when Stan Rozek put aside the drums to tap the triangle or go to work with tambourine and cas- tenets. Playing sax or clarinet is all the same to joe Trimboli. And donlt forget Ray Mack's solos.

About the City, concerts were given at St. Mary's Seminary, Villa hlaria, Holy Angels Academy and Nardin Academy. If time will allow, other invitations may be accepted before the closing of other schools. The Canisius Philharmonic also provided musical inter- ludes at the Knights of Columbus Oratorical Contest on the night when Ned Murphy captured first prize and the coveted Bishop Duffy Trophy. New editions to the growing repertoire are the classico-moderne In an Eighteenth Century Drawing Room by lNIozart-Nlourrant, and selections from Il Trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi. Other typical pieces were selections from Faust , Carmen , The Merry XVidow , The Student Prince , Hungarian Dances by Brahms, Strauss waltzes and themes by Tschaikowski. VVith Father hlurphy, SJ., as llloderator, the Orchestra enjoyed its busiest season. hlathema- ticians may be interested to note that a conservative calculation places the season's total audience at 5-l-IO! To Mr. Fred Ressel, who did the directing, much praise is due for painstaking rehearsals and for keeping the Orchestra at top form for every public performance. THE SCIENCE SEARCHERS CLUB In Rlay of 1940, a new organization was born to Canisius High School. A group of chemistry students assembled under faculty direction and discussed plans for the start of the new activity. After some days of deliberation, the new society was christened, The Science Searchers Club , and with encouraging approval of school authorities, the newly formed organization became an important activity on the campus. The members of the Science Club, spurred on by the natural curiosity which they have learned to develop in their experi- e n c e w i t h scientific courses, endeavor to in- vestigate in the minutest detail all the phenomena of a fascinating and scien- tifically exciting world. In their study, they gather together on a co-operative X basis all the available ma- terial pertinent to the sub- ject under investigation and, after a comprehen- 3 sive discussion, a decision is reached regarding the problem.

As if each team had as its goal the presenting of a token of appreci- ation to our coach, each strove on through victory , and disappointment to attain linally the lain-els and 1 to present lllr. Barnes an unparalleled season. The Coach's Keen Eye Follows lt started in the Fall of 1940 when the foot- the Play. ' ball team emerged from the Autumn games unde- feated and tied but once to have a clear hold on the Catholic High School Championship. They had set the pace and showed by their results that R112 Barnes was not to go unrewarded for his patience and expert direction. lVhat they inaugurated the basketball team seconded, and the torch of victory was passed on horns captain to captain. Despite the ominous clouds of failure which sometimes hov- ered over the heads of the team, defeat, linal defeat, was unthought of and only victory was con- sidered. At the end of the basketball season Mr. Barnes had coached another winning team. A second team had now contributed its share to making Mr. llarnes' tenth year as coach a memorable one by presenting him with the Bishop Dully Trophy. There was at the same time another team striving to honor the coach-the hockey team. Other years had found it not so successful, but this year was the Year of Champions and under the excellent guidance of Father Anable nothing could halt their victory march to give Mr. Barnes the Niagara Frontier Trophy for the junior Division. In athlgticsx ag in all other activities, there must be men behind the scenes, men who are seldom noticed, yet upon whose guidance every team Coach Barnes, Father Curtin, Cap- . i 1 X tain Connolly Hold Basket- seeurely. One of these is Father L-urtm, SJ., whose ball Trophies. depends, and in whose hands the future rests able supervising made possible this record year and rf y to whose ceaseless labor the teams owe an enormous i debt of gratitude. The lllinims look to Father Persich. Sul., as their leader and have never found him wanting. Although the bulk of the praise has gone to Mr. llarnes, we feel that these men, too. should be praised for this victorious year. It is entirely lifting that the Tenth Anniversary of lllr. llarnes' advent to Canisius should find the record enscribed with so many victories in return for his hard, inspiring work with the teams. Canisius and Canisius men are proud of our Head Coach not merely for his success, but much more for the brand of Catholic manliness he teaches by word and example. i .-4 FCUT Captain johnny Egan had the honor of leading the 1940 football team, which was one of the greatest in Canisius history. lt hung up a brilliant, undefeated record, winning six times out of seven tries, and in its final game was held to a scoreless tie by a quagmire field and Union High. The Knights also won the Catholic Prep School Championship of XVestern New York to become the first of a series of this year's Canisius Champions. The main factor in the Canisius success was Burly Bus VVerder, 207-pound fullback, who scored 91 points and went through the strongest line as though it were wet tissue paper. Opening the holes for VVerder and Co. was a fighting line, which was particularly impressive because most of its members were new to the first string, Billy Reid was a tower of strength at end for the third year in a row, John Egan at the other end scored three touchdowns in the opening game, stalwart Howie YVinkler and neavcoiner Al Petrella heltl down the tackle posts, and Andy Kleany and veteran Frank Hartney Hankel Dan Curtin, who more than ably filled the shoes of his predecessor, joe YVollenschlaeger. Canisius opened the season by routing Cathedral Prep, 27-6. The Knights chalked up their second straight triumph of the year, defeating St. ll-Iary's of Dunltirlc, 20-0. On the following Saturday, using the same devastating attack that was twice before successful, the potent Prepsters turned back St. Bernard's of Bradford, 31-6. Flushed with three straight victories, the Knights moved on to Aquinas at Rochester and f administered their most thrill-packed and TOP Picflxlfel Wffdef Off tackle 82hK9lSeYwff059- stunning victory of the season, defeating groundl t rows a block. inge ots: er er 1 Y smashes throughg Ralicki scores a touchdown: Drill- the home dub, 19-13, before Sfleml mg DIOWS allmg- Bottom: ESHH lalerals U1 MHYS- thousand frenzied fans and a contingent of Canisius rooters. The Blue and Gold got off to a great start, Bus Xverder giving the Knights a l3-0 edge at the end of the first quarter. The Irish, however, scored in the second and third periods to force a deadlock. This was keenly contested until the closing minutes when Burly Bus smashed off left tackle and ran thirty-four yards to the Aquinas two. h-Ioe Drilling plunged for the winning counter and a real Frank llerriwell finish. This victory was followed by decisive defeats of Fairview and St. lIary's of Niagara Falls, which last won Canisius the VVestern New York Catholic High School title. Bus Vlferder scored three times but the big surprise was provided by Don Kelsey, who went around left end twice and scampered for the long gains which set up the Blue and Gold tallies. r CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONS Top Row: Schaefer, Egan CCapIainJ, Ralicki, Mays, Petrella, Scanlon.

Seated: Kelly, Rae, Fields, Werder. Hartney. Absent: Egan. Kruszezynski. Although comparatively new to Canisius athletic circles, Hockey is gradually rising to take its place among our major sports. This year. in keeping with the Year of Champions, the Blue and Gold puck-chasers successfully tied for top honors in the ll Division of the Niagara Frontier League. In league competition, the team. under the able tutelage of Father Anable and llr. Ray McQuaid got off to a flying start by nosing out a 2,1 win over the ll.A.C. juniors. Fresh from this initial triumph, sparked by the stellar play of Bill Reid and joe Fields, the Knights' ice men ran wild on the following Sunday, rallying four times to trounce soundly the Yellow jackets, 4-0. Continuing on their way towards the top, the lVashington Street skaters left the ice of the Klemorial Auditorium for the third time the victors. This time the victims were the llaroons and the score was 2-1. ln the final league encounter, the Canisians locked skates with the undefeated Penguins. The Penguins proved a stubborn and able crew, and the score stood O-U at the end of the regulation three periods. A five-minute overtime saw neither sextet counter a tally and the Knights had to be content with sharing top honors in their division. ln the line-up this year for the most part were Seniors. Captain Bill Reid was the offensive-'s big gun. backed up hy Frank Hartney and burly Bus VVerder. llefensemen for this line were Peaches lfgan and Len Klurphy, with Joey Fields ably tending the cage. The reserves were Frank Del Prince, Len Polus, jim Klonan, llon Rae, Rob lleierl, Bob Dunn, Ken Kelly and Ed Kruszcznyski, a com- petent and hard-lighting crew. TENNIS Top Row: Capt. Walter Zielinski, George Zimmermann, Bill Haefner, Mach Maciejewski. Bottom Row: Bob Frank. Bob Beierl, Lou Urbanczyk, Coach Mayer. Of the seven members of the 1941 tennis team, six have seen action in previous campaigns. The team this year is under the direction of lllr. lylayer, who has a thorough knowledge of the game, and has greatly helped all the players, especially in doubles strategy. Playing first singles is Ambrose lllaciejewski of basketball fame, whose low- bounding service and speedy net game have bewildered his opponents. In the second singles spot is slugging YValter Zielinski, who also acts as manager. Though not the huskiest person in the world, Y-Valter has the hardest forehand drive on the team, and with it has done quite well. The exact antithesis of Zielinski is Bob Frank, who plays third singles. Bob can use every stroke in the book and put every shot exactly where he wants it, which makes him a difficult player to beat. The first doubles team is composed of Bob Beierl and Lou Urbanczyk, the only undergraduates on the team. Outstanding in their play is the smooth way they work together as they advance to the net or retreat under a lob. This pair will undoubtedly form the nucleus of next year's team. Bill Haefner and George Zimmermann play second doubles. Since Zimmer- mann is left-handed, both can keep their forehands on the outside of the court, and this protects the corners more easily. Haefner's blinding service 'has been the chief factor in their success this year. In the opening match against the powerful Nichols team, Canisius lost 4-1, Bob Frank being the only player able to Wrest a decision from the Green stars. In the second match, however, the Prep edged the Orchard Park netters, 3-Z, by virtue of capturing both doubles matches. A week later they defeated Amherst 4-l, on the lVashington Street courts. These are the results as we go to press, but several other matches have been scheduled, and all are hopeful for a successful season. to Right Doyle. Right: BA EBALL lYith the return of Spring and fair weather the 1941 edition of Canisius High's baseball team swung into its first practice session early in April, as eighty-five candidates answered the first call to arms, all hopeful of carrying the Blue and Gold through another triumphant SCHSOII. The nucleus of the team lies in the return of seven veterans back from last year's undefeated nine. They include jim lllahoney and Bus iVerder, fighting it out for third- base honors, joe Fields at the initial sackg Hank Ralicki, second baseg Joe Trimboli, short stopg and Bloc Drilling, the ever-reliable one hundred and ninety-pound backstop who will catch the slants of Bud llflays and George Ellis. Coach johnny Barnes is depending upon lllays to carry most of the pitching burden of the mound staff. A good fast ball coupled with a sweeping curve will undoubtedly make Bud one of the leading pitchers of the circuit. Ellis and Aldo Rossi will complete the 'hurling corps with Jim lVIcArtney and Joe Trimboli ready at any time to leave their respective positions to take over the pitching assignment. Coach Barnes' infield worries are centered at first base. He has two stellar performers, Joe Fields and Joe Figliola, to cover the sack and will no doubt alternate them through- out the season. The probable starters in the outfield will be ,lim KIcArtney, Andy llfleaney and Ray Ruth all of whom hit hard and field capably. This year's Canisius Varsity will play an eleven game schedule, most of which will be played in the VVestern New York Catholic High School League. Besides the Varsity, the Tyros, Acrions and Knights will represent Canisius in the American Legion Leagues of their various classes. As this yearbook goes to press, the Blue and Gold Varsity have played three games. The opener saw the Knights humble St. llIary's Deaf by a score of 22-ll. Behind Bud lllays' two-hit hurling, the Blue and Gold garnered twenty-two tallies in the four innings that were played. VVhile the opposition committed ten miscues, their twirlers handed out many walks. Joe Trimboli's home-run with two mates aboard shared honors with Bud lllays' two-hit, no run pitching. Back Row: Left Crumlish, Rossi, Shalloe, Grabow ski, Mahoney Tetter, Ellis Figliola. Second Row Standing: Left to Right: Coach Barnes, Mahoney Ruth, Fields Captain Werder Kelly, Asst. Mgr McCoskey, Mgr Sitting, Left to Connelly, Drill ing, Trimboll, Mays, Ralickl Meaney, McArtney The next Varsity encounter, however, ended in a 6-3 defeat for the Knights. VVhile St. lXIary's of the Falls collected ten hits, the Knights hit safely but four times, and thus ended an unbroken string of seventeen victories which began in 1939. ln their next game. the Knights trimmed Annunciation, 12-0. Y-Vhile Ace Ellis limited the enemy to four bingles, his mates connected for twelve safeties. Excellent field- ing aided Ellis continually, the final score showing but one error for the Knights. The Canisius Tyros, in their first American Legion contest, scored a 12-7 victory over the Black Rock Tigers. VVhile Ace Ellis went the full seven innings, scattering seven hits, his mates collected fourteen hits and twelve runs. Six miscues aided the opposition greatly in gathering its seven runs. The Tyros' next game saw them edge out the Bennett Bruins, 4-3. X-Vhile Ellis allowed seven hits, his mates fielded flawlessly, and when the Tyros held the hickory, they hunched eight hits with a Bennett bungle to collect four runs. Thus far, the lllinims have won and lost one game. By virtue of Bill Herold's fine mound performance and opposition errors, they won their first game. In the second game, however, though Herold was in the same fine form, he was backed by very ragged field- ing, and the Minims' average dropped to 500. In their first two games, though the Acrions played line baseball, they met teams that played better ball, and by thus dropping the first two games, were eliminated from further Legion competition. However, the showing of George Fendinger and Johnny Crawford must be noted as well as the rest of the team's play. The Knights, those diminutive dynamos of the diamond, to date have won one and lost one. The exceptional hurling of Don Beaumarchais has been the mainstay of the team, but again, errors never helped a team to win, hence, the Knights' defeat. There are more games yet to be played, but if the line play, displayed at present, is continued, Canisius will again terminate her horse-hide activities in truly successful style.

VVhen the familiar cry of Fore hurtled down the fertile fairways, the Canisius golf team swung into practice sessions at the Grover Cleveland pasture . VVith matches scheduled against Deveaux, St. Marys of the Falls, Niagara F rosh and tentatively with Lockport, the Prep divot diggers began to hit the pellet with a will. The present four-man team includes Captain Ken Kelly, and his accurate, steady game, Don Zewe, a long, hard hitter, Ed Zimpfer, with his deadly, short-iron game, and Paul lVehrfritz, master of the sand and rough. Faithfully, these four men practiced in good weather and in bad, and now loom as a source of glory for Canisius. Every day of practice was spent in straightening out kinks, eliminating slices and hooks, mastering the woods and long irons, stiffening the short game about the green, smoothing out the stroke used on the carpet, blasting cleanly from traps and bunkers, and in solving difficulties that arise in the rough. ln addition to these four men, Bill Burke and joe Hays, alternates, round out the team in the event of a six-man match. ' THE KI-SMA HERS CLUB Buffalo has always been known for its abundant snow and cold winters. The pioneer settlers, suffering in their inadequate cabins, complained bitterly of the winters. Yet succeeding generations have come to love their snows. Only a few decades ago, our Scandinavian citizens, a people steeped in the accumulated experience of several centuries in snow-craft in a land of abundant snows, introduced among us the use of skis. Though it is only in the last few years that skiing has become a truly popular sport with a large number of enthusiastic devotees in and around Buffalo, the general recognition of the marvelous opportunities for outdoor winter recreation that skiing provides already has turned Bulfalds abundant snowfall from a dubious minor asset to a major natural resource, somewhat intangible, to be sure, but none the less real. So it was with fear and trepidation that the Canisius Ski Smashers were organized into a very active group that could be seen traversing the neighboring Boston hills on holidays and week-ends. The hills echoed to the sound of Tr-a-a-a-ack as the Ski Smashers came vvhizzing down the slopes. True, there were a lot of tumbles in the beginning, but near the end of the season one could notice an air of confidence creep into the individual as he strapped on his skis and made ready to brave the trickiest slalom course. The boys began to speak familiarly about the dilferent kinds of wax to be used on the variable snows found in the various sections. On ltlonday morning around the school dining hall could be heard such terms as, stem Christie, tempo turns, open and closed christie, snowplow, vorlage. down-up- down motions, Hannes start, when, only a few short months before, the Smashers didn't know a gelaendesprung from a sitzmark. The Ski Smashers were organized with a starting membership of twenty-five. james Downing was elected as President, Mr. Barnes and Mr. Kessler acted as moderators and instructors for the group. The novices were taught technique, control and assurance in the beginning. lvithout giving special thought to it, in a few months the boys had polished and rounded off the corners and were beginning to develop their own individual running style. lVith all the confidence that comes from experience, the Canisius High Ski Smashers are eagerly awaiting next winter's blizzards as only Buffalo can have them.
