Our eyes trace the dusty road as it wends its way through thick woods. Suddenly it is swallowed up by the lush ver- dure, only to appear again, more distant still and less discernible. It terminates abruptly in a clearing. We lift our eyes and behold spiral-capped turrets and acutely ridged roof tops outlined against the horizon. There, situated amidst a grove of towering elms and reigning augustly over the woodland scene, is a building. The rustic atmosphere that surrounds this building mingled with the crude beauty of its Norman lines arouses a sort of rugged fascination. And over all there exists a sheltered serenity, a tran- quil seclusion. Pensively we recall that day, far in the past, hither- to forgotten, when for the first time we trod the dusty path to the building in the clearing. We entered the oaken portals and discovered beneath the somewhat artless and unsophisticated exterior a community of Augustinian Fathers, each dedicated paramountly to God and secondly to his fellow men, each endowed with certain principles and ideals. And we learned that each was devoting his life to the inculcation of these principles and ideals upon a chosen few, toward whom fate had cast a benevolent glance. We at the end of the road are those chosen few. And to these men we are forever indebted. For here, withdrawn from the perplexities and immune from the secular philosophies of modern so- ciety, we were educated by these men. They blended scholastic indoctrination with ideals, sets of values, standards of morality. They developed our minds, influenced our characters, strengthened our bodies. Page 14 To say that they thoroughly instructed us for life with all its complications and complexities would border on an understatement. Rather they gave us an invalu- able gift, a set of tools which, with the aid of Divine Providence, we shall utilize in whatever undertakings in life we may choose. God grant that the indelible impression of their tireless labor be never suppressed. And so to us at the end of the road, this building is more than a building, the masonry of its jagged walls is more than concrete and brick. This building is a chapter in our young lives. It and the institution represented by it have imparted to us a key, a key which unlocks the door to a unique way of life. If the eforts extended by Cascia Hall and the oppor- tunities afforded by it have borne worthy fruit, that key is ours. And suddenly the great oaken doors reopened and released us, and we were retracing our footsteps down the dusty road. And nothing remained of the chapter save lingering memories. A melancholy smile of reminiscence slowly van- ishes as once again we face the highway. This high- way is curbless. It has many routes, it has many detours. It has its paved reaches, it has its unpaved reaches. To some of us it is rather hazy, to others of us it is clear, But regardless, as we travel this high- way and as we proceed farther into the misty future toward our destiny, we shall pause now and then and ozzr eyes and our hearts will revert to that dusty road and that building in the clearing. And we will whis- per a soft, ineffectual, but sincere, Thank you, Cascia I-Iallfi -Philip Charles Lauinger, Jr., ,54 T 5-iz, f.-geniau -, '62 Tennis 4 Golf 4 Bowling 4 Cascian 4 Boarders Council 4 Y.C.S. 4 RICHARD THOMAS ALLEN Dick is one of the late comers to the class. He and his brother, Bob, came to Cascia as Seniors and hail from St. Louis. Not much is known about him as he is always on the go and never sits down long enough to talk about himself. We cornered him long enough though, to talk about his two favorite subjects, socker and girls. From what we hear he is a master of both, especially the latter. Some of the wild tales he tells us of the girls in St. Louis make us want to go up to that bustling city this summer for a little vacation, or would it be a vacation? No doubt Dick could show us quite a time. From the first day of school Dick fitted right in with the class. Since his October report card Dick has been constantly on the Honor Roll. He is always in the middle of things in the dormitory and often the instigator. Wherever there is excitement, he may be found getting his material for his article in the Cascian. We wish Dick a lot of luck in the future in whatever he tries and we are sure he will always be a credit to Cascia and any profession that he may choose. Remember: His tales of St. Louis. l .,..

His ability to stay awake in class has been praised by many. When the word Msportsw is mentioned, Dave may not partake, but one is bound to see that smiling face in the grandstands. He may not always agree with the referee, but whatls a ballgame without one side disagreeing! Dave is quite the angler, though, and he is content to get away from it allu by finding a nice quiet fishing spot out in the boon- doclcsn and just relaxing. Any day now, he's liable to bring back that Ubig one that got awayn for proof. Dave is very active in the social world, too. Heis always there when you turn around at a dance or a party. We know that Dave will go a long way in the world, because he has the courage and the energy to trounce any problem that might stand before him. His sparkling personality will remain with him always. As fine a lad as he is, Dave will never be forgotten. He has built quite a name here at Cascia Hall, and we are sure that his en- suing years will be filled with success and lasting friendship. Remember: Look out, Kid, I would hate to pulverize you.', ., :,,. JOSE LUIS CASTRILLO Joe was adopted into the class during this last year. You would h t ink he always hacl been one of us As far as his English oes he - g speaks it fluently and with great ease. Having taken out a full year's membership and paying his dues regularly, Joe resides in the Cascia Cl b H , u ouse, more commonly known as the Rock , or Dorm.,' Joe ranked high in his scholastic achievements for the year. He just barely missed the Honor Roll several times. Back in Puerto R' I, CY ' ' ico, Joe says, are the most beautiful women in the world. How- ever, he showed no signs of homesiclcness. Apparently he liked the American girls, too. Seriously, joe is entertaining company. He has great stories to tell about the life in the Caribbean. He is very observant The ujivev of teen-age Americans tickles him. He took great interest in all our activities and made himself well liked. We clon,t know where or when we may ever see Jose again. If and when we do it will be a pleasure to renew our olcl acquaintance. Wfe know he will be a uboostern for us back home. Cascia will always welcome other Puerto Ricans of Joe's calibre.

He hails from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. He will be remembered for his trumpet playing in our so called Cascia band, also for his Okla- homa drawl. And how that man could sleep! He was immune to bells or noise. But when the 2:35 bell rings Buck suddenly comes to life. Off he hops in his blue Chevrolet. He conducts a regular taxi service for the gals at Central High School. He can always be seen chauffeuring a load of passengers. Popular? Ah, fellows, give me a break. Any- one that knows Buck would say that he has one of the best liked per- sonalities around school. Though he has not taken too active a part in athletics, he has shown a keen interest in the school's athletic program. He was a staunch fan at all football games, cheering for our great Commandos. We want to wish Buck good luck and we hope he is a great success in whatever he does in the years to come. Remember: Ah, gosh, I just like women, fellas. Football 4 Tennis 4 Intramural Basketball 4 Kommando Klub 4 GARY LEE COLLINS Gary came to Cascia as a Senior. He came from Central and im- mediately proved his athletic abilities on the football Held. Gary also played intramural basketball and helped the seniors rack up some pretty good scores over the underclassmen. He captained our tennis team. l'le was always willing to lend a helping hand. No one worked harder than Gary on the decorations for the Christmas formal. His cream colored car can often be seen loaded down with the boysf, His cruising about would remind you of a scout looking for talent. As Gary was rarely outdone on the football field he was rarely outdone discovering an attractive date. At some of the dances and parties his dates were usually most fascinating. With the underclass- men he is an exceptional favorite. Nlany times a group may be seen gathered around him discussing the latest athletic events or fads. Our gifted Gary is easily admired. We are sorry that Gary didnit come to Cascia earlier, as he has been a good sport and a swell friend to all. His personality and determination we know will make a success out of him, whatever field of studying he pursues in college. Remember: His cute dates. Wwlllnghz GAS me-JN.

Although Bill does not participate in varsity sports, he mastered in all the intramurals. Bill makes wise use of his spare time. He is an accomplished flyer and can be seen in many out of town airports fueling one of his dadls many planes for a return trip. At last we arrive at the social side of this adventurous young tyke. Bill's always ready for a 'lballw and he can usually be seen at all the big social events about town, He has a great weakness for beautiful blondes but of course, who doesn't? As an honor student, Bill stands high in the ranking of our class. He is studious, ambitious and steady. He has all the marks of a good student and a gentleman. The imprint of his presence will be felt long after his leaving. Remember: Don't touch me.

He hails from a school in New Jersey called Lawrenceville. It was Lawrenceville's loss and Cascia's gain when Bill decided to change and go to school nearer his hometown, Independence, Kansas. Willie is considered one of the smart ones of the class as he has been on the Honor Roll since the Hrst month of school. He has made the Gold Honor Roll a number of times. Unknown to many, Bill is an avid record fan. I-le specializes in Dixieland Jazz, of which he has a large collection, but he also goes in for popular and classical music in a big way. In connection with the social functions at Cascia, Bill can be seen at all of them. He is seen at all the dances and games at Cascia and elsewhere. The prettiest girls in Tulsa are always with Bill at all the parties and dances and he is always flanked by them wherever he goes. Bill plans to go to the University of Oklahoma in Norman and we at Cascia are sure that he will be a success at Norman and a credit to Cascia. Remember: His singing.

As the year advanced he grew in popularity. Jim cloesn't have much to say. He is a man of few words. In his quiet way he has contributed much to his Alma Mater. Many hours were spent in the !'Towers', staff room working on the yearbook copy. As co-editor, Jim went all out to assure a first class publication. His loyalty as a Cascia fan more than made up for his lack of athletic ability. His support of all Cascia teams was an inspiration to many an underclassman. Especially on road trips, Jim would keep the spirits high. Tucked under his arm was his old banjo, and before long he would have everyone in the bus crooning and serenading their favorite melodies. One of our fondest memories of Jim will be the many times we rallied around him, as his fingers glided over the keys of a piano. Socially, Jim displays charming manners. He is known to the ladies as a smooth dancer and in appearance is characterized as that boy with the wavy hairf' Jim will never be forgotten by his classmates. He will be remembered as never having said an unkind word. Remember: Q'Where,s my banjolu JAMES DAVID IVERSON Jim arrived at Cascia in his Freshman year with a smile on his face and great ideas in his head. He has been a better than average student in his studies. His marks have boarded on the requisites for the Honor Roll rather consistently. As for his social activities, Jim is a busy man. He can always be seen at all parties and get-togethers, living it upf, Another Cascia landmark is his green Chevy,' which is always loaded down with friends. He and the boys patrol Brookside thoroughly, especially Pennington's. Although Jim hasn't taken an active part in athletics, he has attended almost every football and basketball game. I-Ie was sure to provide a ride to out of town games. He has worked most diligently on our school paper, i'The Cascianf' for the last three years. He has shown to all who read his articles a great ability in writing. We are not sure which school Jim will attend, but we believe it will be Oklahoma University. What- ever school he will honor by his presence we wish Jim the best of luck for the future.

Dan is the last of the tribe to bear the title of a Cascian for this generation. It seems as though the Kelehers are synonymous with trust and banking, Dan is no exception being treasurer of about every group in which he is a member. Taking part in almost all school activities, Dan is obtaining a well-rounded social education as well as scholastic. At any ball game the crowd cheers on under the direction of our own Dan Bone as cheerleader. Everything is taken in stride from that C he thought should he a B to his greatest achievement as co-editor of this year's Towers. Whenever therels something to be done, dependable Dan is our man. Having an analytical mind, Dan wants to know just how and why things happen. This may or may not be a Uhoonf, but he finds out even if it means hours of work. Dan is also a good. iniiuence on the class in manners and religious regularity. However, if there is a party in the brewing, Dan will always he on hand and usually is the center of attraction. Dan's place will be a hard one to fill since he has given so much to make Cascia the best.

One of the most active students of the ,54 class, Joe lettered two years in football. Joe's high school football career was halted in the Holdenville game. He suffered a concussion as the result of a tackle that the opposition will never forget. Joe contributed a great deal toward the success of the Commandos' football team. Playing quarterback and halfbaclc on the crack gridteam, he proved to be an important cog and sparlcplug for the Commandos. Joe turned his sights on slcirts when he was forced to leave the gridiron. Never- theless, he was always seen cheering for his team in the stands with a gal holding his hand. Scholastically, Joe was a success and is known as a hard worker throughout school. As a three year man he built up a reputation anyone would be proud to have. He can always be remembered for his willingness to get the job done, as was shown when he revealed a creative turn of mind when decorating the gym for formals. V Joeis record for achievements will prove to be a difficult one to surpass, He has built quite a name for himself and we are sure his ensuing years will be full of success and lasting friendship.

The name has not been changed because Dennis is not innocent. These are the facts: This casual lad came to us from Chicago in his Sophomore year. He is the last of the 'QWindy City Five. Dennie,', as he is commonly known about Cascia, always seems to have his hands in the pot. He is rarely without something to do. His activities around the campus are too numerous to mention in such a little space, but you can always count on his help in those activities that are part of our school life. He is usually not in evidence, though, and it can be safely stated that it is because he is everywhere at once. As a matter of fact he is the type of person who can be directly before you and not be seen. And think not for a minute that Dennis is at all gaunt or slim. Standing well over six feet, he is faced with the enigma of keeping his two hundred pounds of flesh and bones intact. Everyone at Cascia likes Dennis and it would be impossible to feel otherwise about him. He is never too slow with a favor or a friendly word. Next year Dennis, casual frame will matriculate at the campus of the University of Illinois. Remember: I've just gotta have a coke. iw, wflw- ,, W, .I ..,,. g, ,fig sions.

Virginii or Count Lauinger, as Philip Charles Lauinger is more popularly known, has become one of those quite sedate individuals of the world, who has trouble discovering something new under the sun about which he is not already familiar. Through his domestic and scholastic training, Phil has acquired the polished and refined manner of an aristocrat. Having taken ad- vantage of the interests afforded him Phil has become one of the top intellectuals in the school. However our Cavalier is by no means a bookworm. He is always on hand at every party, usually with a vivacious bundle of pulchritude. After completing a full six hours of arduous labor in classes, our gallant Cavalier is ready to proceed with greater expectations in vari- ous realms for relaxation. Around thc school P. C. has participated in almost all extra- curricular activities. He did an expert job for the Dramatic Club in the production of the school's best plays. In both l'The Robe and wfime-Out for Gingerf, P. C, fulfilled the greatest hopes of Father LaFleur. Phil played basketball in his Sophomore year and was cheer- leader as a Junior, doing a good job at both. Cascia is losing a great scholar and gentleman. Our distinguished diplomat will continue his erstwhile endeavors at Georgetown University. Remember: Viva Virginii! The Cavaliers ride again!

His athletic achievements have been such that they will always be remembered by Cascia students ancl teachers alike. He was one of the mainstays on the football team for the lasr three years and there will only be one La Looper in the pages of basketball history at Cascia. Along with being the co-captain of the varsity football team, he is president of the Kommando Klub which in itself tells you what a popular man he is. just as he is the lcingpin in the class, he is the same with the girls. Blondes, brunettes, and redheads go for Dave and Dave goes for them in a big way, too. Yes, he is, in the Cascia tradition, a ladies, man and uses to the fullest the attributes he has along this line. At many Cascia functions, Dave is seen with not only one but sometimes a whole loacl of 'em.', Many a pretty girl has been seen in his two- tone Plymouth. When Dave graduates, Cascia will lose a fine athlete, a good sport, a good. worker, and a real friend of all. Remember: Titantic Tammy. RICHARD LEWIS MACKEY Six years ago, two little fellows wandered into the halls of Cascia. Ar first, no one could tell them apart. They dressed the same way, they looked the sameg in fact their marks in school were the same. However, there was one way to tell which was which. was always seen uwith a girl' was Dickyl The one who Dicky seems to contain an inexhaustible supply of energy that keeps him at full speed from morning to night. His classmates have always had the secret ambition to disect him and see what makes him tickg but the faculty, they just scratch their heads and smile. The ones who are really mystlfied by Dicky are the Spanish members of Cascia. To them, uHe is one krazy keedf, Although Dicky was of the featherweight class in his senior year, he went out for football. He applied himself so well, that aside from lettering and getting a jacket, he acquired the vicious title of Tiger.', There is no doubt that Dicky has been a definite part of Cascia. For when the years have passed and our high school years are fading, we may forget his looks and we may forget his name, but we will never forget the smiles that his lively antics brought.

Bob has been well liked for his genial manner. He is a character in his Cai, clothes. He has taken the responsibility of class presidency for the past two years. This alone shows how much his classmates respect him. Under Bobis guidance the school has produced two of the best formals the school has ever seen. In class Bob has always been an honor student, setting an example for all underclassmen to follow. His witty and ill-timed questions are the spice of life for the rest of the class. On the Held all marveled at his speed and versatility. Bob proved to be our Umissing link, filling in as firzt string varsity guard. All will remember his viciousness on the gridiron. On the social set no one is more accomplished. Any weekend you will see this handsome young lad whipping one of the debuntantes of the city around in his flashy Coupe-de-Ville. In general, this jovial, facetious Qcat' about town will be remem- bered in the hearts of all as a real Cascia man: gentleman, athlete, and scholar. Remember: The 51st Street Bridge. GEORGE KENNEDY MILLER In four years we have seen this quiet, unassuming lad rise in the esteem of all his classmates. For two years he was a regular starter on the varsity gridiron. In classes he has been an honor student for four years. Socially, he is the wittiest character in the class. It can truly be said that George has realized that women are here to stay- including Nancy. Aside from his popularity, George has a very serious trait. His religious background is exemplary. He has always been an ideal stu- dent for school spirit and leadership. Murkey,,' as Joe Kopta has christened him, is sure to succeed in any venture in future life. He has determination, ambition and the will to succeed. We won't be at all surprised to see George follow in the footsteps of his illustrious brother and enroll at Notre Dame. The qualities that showed his spirit in the Field of sports were carried over into his school work. His accomplishments in both fields of endeavor make him a favorite son of Cascia. Xvhatever George sets his mind to will be a job well done. Serious- mindecl, witty and devout-these three are blended perfectly in George. Truly, we are proud of you-Good Luck! Remember: You can just call me George.

Like his brother Felix, George is popular and a good mixer. Scholastically, George can hold his own. In fact he best shows himself under pressure and when work must be done. His ability to rise to the situa- tion at hand was evidenced in competitive golf. As captain of the team, he has shown vast improvement over his performance a year ago. He stands up well under pressure. When the chips are down and Cascia needed his point in match play, George was bound to come through in flying colors. As long as his interest is alerted, George just doesn't fail. He surprises one with his inherent ability. Such resourcefulness and being able to draw upon oneself for that much needed push is what it takes to be successful. Occasionally one can sense bashfulness in his personality. How- ever, he is very. conventional. And so, though he is not girl crazy, he keeps in touch with a few dates. just what ambition George holds as his life,s goal, we do not know. Perhaps his father,s profession, a medical doctor, will lure him onto a decision. What ever it may be, God Bless You! Remember: Ritchie's shower. JOHN CARTER POXVERS Ever since Jack came to Cascia as a Sophomore he has made friends with everyone. This is the result of his wonderful personality and good sense of humor. wfhe Mouse, as he is fondly called, has many accomplishments. Father Fogarty says Jack is one of the friendliest drivers on the road. We often wonder what the good Father meant? Jack makes better than average grades. More than once he has received Honor Roll certificates for his high marks. He has always supported school activities and has gone to all the school functions. He supported the team at all games. He can always be seen at any party surrounded by Tulsa's pret- tiest girls. At the formals his dates were adorable! Jack is a good worker. Any job he takes on is done neatly and efficiently. He always took part in extra curricular activities. His efforts in decorating the gym for the formals were most generous. When Jack leaves, Cascia is going to loose a good booster. O. Ufs gain is our loss. Good luck, Jack! Remember: His answers in English class. Cascian 2-3 Juvenile Cou State Honor -in lfj xi 'T' Na ,X C7 rfg iff- ' ll 1?

To every underclassman, he is an inspiriation in personality and popularity. Jim has built up an immeasurable friend- ship among classmates and faculty and his faithfulness to his friends will always be held in the highest esteem by them. His arduous work on every activity has brought out his fine quality as a leader. He has faithfully fullhlled the duties of vice-president in his Junior and Senior years and stepped wholeheartedly into football, basketball and other school qorganizationsf' Jim's accomplishments on the football field and basketball court are measured by his tremendous effort. Jim has donned a letter jacket in all his three years of sports. This year he was co-captain in basketball. f'Turkey's favorite pastime besides studying and athletics is soshing around. He has become one of the Uhoodsu and main wheels of the social world. On his holidays you will probably fmcl him checking up on his friends at Central. On weekends he is seen at the biggest ballsy, with his usual chick. Jim parts the wooden doors of Cascia Hall leaving behind to his greatly beloved school his appreciation and respect. He is a model of a perfect Cascia gentleman. Remember: Fm as big as heck. DANIEL COX SIMPSON Dynamite Dan has literally grown up at Cascia. Arriving as a shy, polite and studious little boy, he has become one of the biggest members of the class, in more ways than one. In sports he has filled every position more than adequately. Always giving everything he had and following the code for sportsmanship in basketball, football, and everything else, Dan lettered all four years. Besides his distinction in sports, Dan has also been an Honor Roll student. He has made the State Honor R011 during the last two years and certainly ranks in the top ten percent of the class. One of the lVlan'sH most distinguishing characteristics is his desire to do all that he does well, and to the utmost of his ability, Another factor to bear out Dan's third dimension is virtue. Reli- giously he is exemplary, attending Mass almost daily. Dan has ac- quired an outlook on life, a philosophy and social relationship that should characterize any Christian student. lVlr. Seriousnessn as some may call him is actually regarded with the highest respect and greatly admired by everyone around him, Dan has left quite an impression here at Cascia and it will be hard for anyone to surpass it in future years.

In his four-year career as a Cascia man, he held down the post of basketball manager for two years. On the side he is an accomplished accordian player. For a hobby he has a rare collection of ores of various assortments. Professionally, he has taught dancing and any of the newest steps are listed in his repertoire. Bfirritt has been an honor student, He is especially well read in history. In particular, he reads anything in print on South American history. His random discourses, merely conversational, on South American lore and culture astound his listeners. Anyone who knows him is amazed at his depth of knowledge. Like every other graduate, Barritt has his ambition. For the present, the science of dentistry draws much interest for him. He has enrolled at Ann Arbor Michigan University, Wfe feel this little man will make good anywhere and at anything. Our confidence is well placed because Barritt is seriously a student at heart. Being the artizt that he is in dancing, he was the envy of many a date. Who can forget his familiar figure strolling the campus and his favorite pet Perky,' following him to school? Remember: I arn right and you are wrongf, ROBERT FRANCIS XVITUCKI XVhat Stan Musial is to baseball Bob Witucki is to Cascia. At any of our athletic events Bob always gave everything he had. Bob Witucki, or KnobH as he is usually called, will long be remembered at Cascia for being one of the school's great athletes, a leader and an all-round Cascia man. Bob always has a good disposition and is placed high on the heroic list of Father Spielman's Lower School. He takes time out in sports to help anyone he can and is greatly appreciated by his teammates. There is a side to Bob other than sports, however. Since he was a Sophomore he has become much more of a leader than he realizes. In the Sophomore year the class became a unified S. S. unit bent on the destruction of anyone opposed to the 'Wvituclci Partyf, Many an afternoon was spent on the wood and rock detail working off suspen- sion. In character and responsibility, Bob has come a long way, He has become one of the finest fellows in the class. Cascia Hall will lose a great athlete and leader as Bob goes on to greater heights. Remember: Let's all go steady.

It protects one against slips of tongue. It affords one the opportunity for concentration and work. In the case of our Ujonf' his quietness hides his many accom- plishments. Only when the opportunity or necessity arose have we realized the talent of this young man. Despite our acquaintance these many years, few of us knew of Jon's painting ability. Several of his oil paintings and water colors decorate his house. The Towers was fortunate this year to use his sketches in our divisional sections of the year hook. It isnit often that a class has its own artist. His leisure time is also occupied as a Kham operator. If you don't believe so, just call W5ZWQ! Yes sir, quite a boy this Jon! A gentleman, a student, an artist, and a radio technician. The Missouri School of Mines beckons our distinguished graduate of diversified interests. Knowing Jon as we do, we can assure his success in his field of endeavor. As we bid adieu to our talented class- mate we feel that Jon has made a significant contribution to his Alma Mater. He is a model Caccia man. His character will bring renown to the good name of his school.

We welcomed to our ranks Ted Bashaw, Thomas Nlarlcley, Ray Petri and Angus Smith, all of Tulsa, and Patrick Dawson of Waurilca, Oklahoma. Under our class moderator, the Rev. Stephen R. Fogarty, the class elected Bill Sherry, president, Richard Simons, vice-presidentg Richard Carthaus, secretaryetreasurer, and George Curtin, Sergeant-at-arms. On the athletic side of the Junior class we have seen Ted Bashaw, John Collins, John Gilbert, Seth Heriidon, Larry Martin, Richard Simons and Jack Xvynn on the football team, with Crane Day as the senior manager for the second time in two years. Jack Wynn, Angus Smith and Irwin Allen rcprc:ented the class in baflcetball. Brian Moran took over the Junior cheerleader spot this year. John Gilbert, Seth Hern- don, Brian Nloran, Wfiley Rice, Tommy Thompson, Richard Simons and Tom Nlason were the class bowlers. The Juniors also presented a one-act Christmas play for the stu- dents of Cascia and Nlcnte Cassino. A performance was also given for the P.T.A, The social events included dances given by two of the older estab- lished members of our illustrious class. The year was rounded out by the annual picnic in which the Juniors played host to the Seniors. SOPHOMORE CLASS A Sophomore A started out with twenty-five boys this year. Along with the last yearis group, we had two new members. They are Barney Barnard and Sergio Gonzales. At the beginning of the year we had class elections. We chose Paul Loop as president, Ned Patterson as vice-president, Tom Vickers as secretary, and John Benson was the treasurer. At the school dances the Sophomore A class was well represented. Many members of the class had dances, too. Those who made the Honor Roll were R. Allred, B. Barnard, D. Johnson, P. Gould, P. Mahoney, P. Manhart, Swartz, Wfood, and R. Wright. The boys who took part in school publications were: P. Manhart and B. Barnard on the Cascian, Wfood and P. Manhart were on the Father Glynn Towers staff. At the end of the year, our moderator, Father Glynn, took us to Mohawk park for the annual school picnic. All of us had lots of fun. Everyone in our class had a very successful year, and we are all looking forward to our next year at Cascia Hall. Left to right, first row: F. Solliday, Swartz, S. Gonzales, N. Patterson, P. Loop, T.

We welcomed many new members to our class this year, and we have not regretted it. They are as fol- lows: M, Beck, B. Collins, R. Ensconatus, Kelly, Romero, O,Donnell, D. Stevenson, and Young. Father O'Neill was chosen to be our class moderator and the class ofhcers were: P. lVlcCaf'frey, president, Lindstrom, vice-president, P. McGinley, secretary, Kelly, treasurer, and M. Beck, sergeant- at-arms. The members of the class were always seen at the weekly Kom- mando Klub dances as well as any other social event at school. Many of us were at the Christmas and Spring formals. We united with the A class in having many dances, one of which was held at T. O7Reilly's home, followed by a hayride. Others contributing their homes for some gay parties were M. Beck and Lindstrom. The class was well represented in athletics this year. In football we had: H. Armer, M. Beck, B. Collins, R. Harris, Kelly, P. McGin- ley, and Young. In basketball there were: Lindstrom, P. McCaff- rey, B. Perlitz, and O,Donnell. Perlitz went all out this year and played tennis, too. Our Sophomore year at Cascia has been a most successful one. We thank the faculty for their help. We will be looking forward to Cascia life next year as juniors. FRESI-IMAN CLASS An The Freshman class of 1953-54 had an enrollment of forty stuf dents. New members were: Charrin, C. Danchersten, Dowling, J. Henderson, J. McConnell, J. Nooney, L. Oswald, W. Petri, C. Pierce, Richards, Schwemin, T. Underwood, and S. Wakeford. With Father Durant acting as moderator we elected to office S. Leroux, president, T. Kelly, vice-president, Stephens, secretary, A. Coryell, treasurer, and E. Stone, sergeant-at-arms. Our school activities this year included the Christmas and Spring formal dances. Under the capable direction of Father LaFluer, the Friday night student Mixers,' were attended well by the Freshmen students. Our class was well represented in sports. S. Leroux and Tl McNa- mar, participated in football. Basketball players were S. Leroux, T. lVlcNamar, D. Howlett, A. Coryell, M. Curtin, and E. Stone. The members of our class seemed to pull through both the mid-year and end-of-term exams with Hying colors. Nlany boys acquired very high marks in both exams. The year ended with our annual class picnic, which was held quite successfully and was enjoyed by all who came. Our first year in high school was thoroughly enjoyed and we are looking forward to the remaining three years. This year will long be remembered. Wfe would like to express our thanks to the priests and teachers for their help during the year. Father Durant Left to right, first row: R. Morhart, R. Graeber, M. Curtin, T. Kelly, S.

We welcomed rhe following new students in our class this year: Joe Richards, Tulsa, Jack Charrin, Houston, Texas, James Dowling, St. Louis, Mo., Pat Gilbert, Houston, Texas, Jerome Henderson, Tulsa, James lVlcConnel, Tulsa, Louis Oswald, San Antonio, Texas, Bill Petri, Tulsa, John Simpson, Tulsa, Tim Underwood, Houston, Texas, Stevenson Wakeford, Tulsa. The old students of last year are Tom Kighr, Howard Hood, Paul Spurgin and Richard Morrison. This yearis ofhcers of the class were as follows: Jack Charrin, president, Joe Richards, vice-president, Howard Hood, secretary, Tom Kight, treasurer, and Jim Underwood, sergeant-at-arms. We are happy to precent the honor students of our class: Nlilce Phillips, John Stephens, John Mulford, Avery Corvell, Tim McNa- mar, Steve Leroux, Frank Wolfe, Pat lVlcCarroll and Tom Kelly. The outstanding athletes of our class were Druid Howlett, who won a trophy for basketball, and Steve Leroux, Joe Richards, Bill Petri, Tim lVlcNamar and Jack Charrin. Our Freshman class is largely made up of new members. We are looking forward to the years ahead in the hope that our class will be a credit to Cascia. EIGHTH GRADE During the preceding year our class was fortunate to have only a small group of twenty-one students, which proved to be a tremendous asset to both faculty and students. Oddly enough our class had only one boarding student, Dale McNulty of Florida. The class was composed of boys who attended Cascia the previous year. Vve feel we are now welded together as a unit, exemplifying our class spirit. Soon after school started, our class, under the direction of Mr. Margola, elected officers for the year. Those honored with the re- sponsibility were P. Benien, president, F. Lauinger, vice-president, E. Linehan, secretary, and Carthaus, treasurer. Under the supervision of our coaches, Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Prassa, we had very suitable activities, which included intramural base- ball, football, and basketball games. Under such able coaches the seventh and eighth grade football, baseball, and basketball teams were led to very successful seasons. At the close of each season, those who had played well during this period were rewarded with a monogram UC H Highlighting our school year was our annual class picnic, which was a complete success. Although the Eighth grade will always bring back wonderful mem- ories, we all look forward to next year when we enter high school and to the day we earn for ourselves the diploma of a q'Cascia Man.

Most of the boys are new to Cascia, but a few luclcier ones attended Cascia in the Seventh Grade. Only seven boys, including the two Romero boys, are boarders. The boarders hail from as far as Casper, Wyoniing, and Venezuela, South America. The class officers were elected at the first of the year under the supervision of Nlr. joseph Margola. The supreme member of the class or presi- dent was Gary Wheatley, George Smith was chosen vice-president, Bob Atcheson, secretary, and lVlaurice Ingram, sergeant-at-arms. After the start of the year we welcomed John Coast, Dixon Foss, Richard Freeman and Carl Wfheeler into our midst. Two Spanish speaking boys have added interest to our class. It was with awe that we observed how quickly they became adjusted to our customs and speech. NWC have been told that the great Albert Einstein found school work a taslc and made poor grades. If this is true of the genius-in-the- making, our future should he assured. Be prepared, World, to hail twenty-four master minds from Casciais 1954 8-B class. SEVENTH GRADE This year our class entered the hallowed walls of Cascia Hall with smiling faces and great expectations toward the future. Under the splendid direction of our class moderator, Father Chojecki, we elected as oflicers of our class: M. Green, president, Hitt, vice- president, Schempf, secretary, S. Clsen, treasurer, and R. Kuhista, sergeant-at-arms. With the help of Mr. Mahoney, Coach Prassa, and Bill Perez the Seventh Grade got together and organized a very good football squad. We also had a very fine basketball team. In both football and basket- ball we took the City Catholic championship. Our class picnic was our biggest day of the year. On the picnic we went out to Mohawk Park where we played games or ate or stuffed ourselves with good hotdogs, and played more games. And this with all of the class parties and dances will be long remembered. Some Father Chojecki day we will look back into the past and remember our first and second years at Cascia Hall. Wfe all have enjoyed sincerely our First year at Cascia, and we are looking to the next two years when we can enter the high school. W'e shall always look back on these early days we spent here at Cascia Hall. Left to right, first row: D. Albert, E. Klopfenstein, B. Staunton, Hitt, Nl. Green, Schempf, S. Olsen, R. Dirickson, C.

THE TCWERS It was with a deep sense of accomplishment that Danny Keleher and James Hull, co-editors of the Towers, saw this issue go to press. During those last hectic months of compiling pictures and data concern- ing the different students, they realized that it would all have been impossible without the patient and in- spiring counseling of Rev. Martin O'Neill, who has acted as moderator for the Towers these many years. Without his gentle prodding and untiring efforts, coupled with the cooperation of the other members of Advertising staff: Front row, left to right: B. Doyle, G. Thompson, D. Carthaus. Back row: P. Tomer, R. Stephens, W. Rice, D. Lane, G. Curtin, Kopta. i . DE... the staff, particularly our advertising managers, Jerry Wfood and Peter Manhart, as well as the help of a great number of the student body, who spent many Weary hours collecting pictures and interesting infor- mation for this year book, the deadline would never have been reached and this work of art could not have been presented to you the reader. The Towers this year has endeavored to depict the various student activities during the past two semesters at Cascia. These activities include our many athletic events, which were, on the whole, quite successful, as well as the social highlights, which were more brilliant and even surpassed those of previous years. Individ- ual student pictures along with the pictures of the different classes are also incorporated in this issue. The editors and staff of the Towers submit this chronicle with a great deal of pride, in the hope that our combined efforts may help the student body retain the memories of a full and happy year at Cascia. To our many patrons go our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for their support in making this publi- cation possible, THE CASCIAN The Cascian, which is our official periodical, ex- perienced an unusually fine year during the past semesters of 1953 and 1954. It reached once more its annual goal of six issues during this last season, and it presented many improvements and additions to please its large circle of regular readers. Under the excellent moderation of Reverend John J. Glynn, the size of the staff was greatly increased, and it is believed that the newspaper profited to a large extent by this. Brian Moran consented to be this year's editor and has performed an outstand- ing work. Credit, however, must also be given to everybody concerned, as the efforts of all combined have made the Cascian a success these semesters. One of the largest improvements was the substitu- tion of three columns to each page, rather than only two. This change was made because of the unani- mous decision, not only by the members of the staff, but also by many students who were interviewed. There have been several valuable additions to out journal, an example being a special column by Rich Simons devoted solely to events about Cascia as re- corded in a humorous vein.

Hitt The highlight of the year was the presentation of the centennial edition of the Cascian, which was the first issue of the second semester. This was the one- hundredth printing of the periodical since it was begun a few years after Cascia Hall was founded. In this presentation were numerous articles, such as the newspaperis history. Yes, it may be recorded that the Cascians produced fine evidence of our labors, and we hope to have an equally successful year in 1954-55. May we again thank Father Glynn for his necessary assistance in making a publication of which Cascia may well be proud. 5 i n ,annum-awww-vm Staff: Left to right, Hrst row: B, Aby, B. Moran.

HALL GUARDS To minimize traffic in the corridors and all the unnecessary noise, to maintain order between class bells-these are the functions of the Hall Guards. We at Cascia try to keep every situation well in hand. Congregating in corridors, lockerrooms, and lava' tories, is forbidden. The Hall Guards see to an orderly line-up for the Cafeteria. Much confusion is avoided by this system. The students' respect for these guards is commendable. Father Fogarty, who is the disciplinarian, feels that the assistance of the Hall Guards did much for the betterment of school spirit. SAN CTUARY SGCIETY In each class a group of students are selected to assist as altar boys. They serve at daily Mass. Also they assist at such student services as Benediction and Stations of the Cross. The Sanctuary Society is a very large group. Father Porreca, the Chaplain, is in charge of the instructions in preparing boys to serve at Holy Mass. The ideal would be that every boy knows how to serve Mass. From week to week there is a rotation of servers, so that as many as possible may take advantage of the opportunity.

RETRE T The annual retreat at Cascia Hall for the Catho- lic students was held this year, beginning on the morning of April twelfth and continuing through school hours till XVednesday noon. The non-Catho- lics were permitted an extended vacation for the regular Easter holidays, which is customary. The Reverend Frederick Beclcerle, pastor of the new St, Nlaryis parish in Tulsa, kindly consented to be our retreat master for this year. He directed an excellent retreat and we are truly indebted to Father Beckerle. Our thanks to the Faculty who disposed us towards making a successful retreat. The main theme of the conference which was Receiving I-loly Eucharist. presented portrayed the basic truths of Holy Mother Church. We were reminded in many ways of the distinct obligations which we owe to our faith and we were made to realize that our spiritual life is para- mount over all other aspects of living, never to be taken in a light vein. Special addresses were given to the high school dealing with the crises which we may encounter in the future. Wfe were told of the special problems that may challenge our precious faith as we lnature and are more exposed to the temptations ol this world. Advice was oliered to us concerning these possible dangers and we readily accepted it, as it came from an older man, far more experienced than we. We attended daily Mass, our greatest prayer. In addition we had Benediction, Stations of the Cross and other religious exercises in which we prayed for guidance to our Blessed Mother and the Saints. It was timely, that our comparatively brief period of recollection and thought was experienced just prior to Easter, as this great feast is the center of the entire liturgical year and is the Day of the Resurrection. It may well be said, then, that we students greatly profited from this most valuable occasion of the school year. Because of this priceless meditation, we hope that we have gained in abundance the virtues neces- sary to lead us to our eternal salvation, and ultimately, to the greater glory of God. KOMMANDO KLUB As everyone knows, the Kommando Klub was or- ganized several years ngo as a combination social and pep club for the Cascia and Monte Cassino students. Between the two schools it numbers one hundred and fifty members. Through the years, at games and everywhere else on the campus, the Kommando Klub has become an integral part of the school. The ofhcers this year are as follows: president, David Loopg vice-president, Ann Wheeler, secretary, Char- lene Beal, and treasurer, Dan Simpson. Under their capable leadership, plus the guidance of Rev. A. LaFlet:r, the Kommando Klub reached its peak dur- ing the past year. Among the many activities this year were mixers, victory dances, and pep rallies, not to mention the annual Coronation Dance. The latter is held every year to crown the football queen and name the most valuable player on the team. Ever since its beginning, the symbol 'cK.K.w has been synonymous with the Cascia spirit. With the cooper- ation of the students, it will continue to be popular in the future. Cascia Hall members of the Kommando Klub.

Beginning in the fall, continuing through the winter, and finally ending in the spring, this organi- zation produced a record of which it could be very proud. Behind it were many admirable projects which it had accomplished. In the month of October, two representatives of Cascia, Danny Keleher and Tom Mason, attended the state-wide Y. C. S. Workshop, held in Oklahoma City. It affords them an excellent opportunity to observe proceedings in such groups at other schools, and to be able to pass along to the rest any worthwhile and Left to right: Rev. Stephen R. Fogarty, O.S.A., mod- erator, Danny Keleher and Danny Simpson, repre- sentatives to city council. constructive information. Monte Cassino, Cascia's counterpart in regard to many activities, was also well represented. It was during the Christmas season that Cascia Hall was joined by Monte Cassino in the annual tagging of the Christmas trees, which task has been brought to the attention of people everywhere. The idea involved is that the purchasers of these symbols of that great event should be informed in detail as to why Christmas is celebrated. The meetings of this outstanding group were held weekly under the auspices of Father Fogarty, who acted as chaplain. Different students conducted the meetings with the idea that such experiences develop leadership in their character. There was quite a large percentage of the school at these gatherings and the total far exceeded any previous year's count. Perhaps the reason for that was that a special effort was made to make all of the student body feel that they were more than welcome to take part in this wonderful movement. The central themes of the meetings of the Young Christian Students at Cascia were simple but direct. One of the many purposes in mind was to introduce once more to the students the value of their religion and what it offered them as individuals and as a whole. There has been a noticable increase in the daily attend- ance at Mass and in private devotions during the day, which inspirations should be, at least partially attrib- uted to the earnest efforts of this worthy organization.

BOWLING LEAGUE Started in 1949 by Father DeMarco, the bowling league has grown tremendously. This sport has be- come the most popular intramural activity in the school. The league serves as a side interest in school life for those not participating in varsity sports. At the end of the season trophies are presented to the bowlers who have placed themselves in the top rank of their class division. These awards are prized by those whose efforts deserve recognition. The student body wishes to thank Father DeMarco for the time that he has spent making the bowling league one of the most successful activities in the school. Ofhcers, left to right: llflrs.

FOR M One of the most-needed organizations in the func- tion of any school is the Parent-Teacher Association. This Forum is without a doubt most interested in the welfare of the school. Ar Cascia we are ver fortunate to have such an Y Very Rev. James Sinnott, C.S.A. 1' 3-so es. active organization. Out parents above all are most interested in us and all our programs. During the past years much has been done to enhance the physical beauty of the campus. The per- fect cooperation maintained hetween the parents and the faculty has made many advantages possible for us. The Parentffeacher Association meets twice in the first semester and twice in the second semester. Ar these meetings hesides the discussion on school projects there is also the opportunity of each teacher meeting the parents of students. Personalized atten- tion is given to any problem in studies. Also, infor- mation is passed to the parents regarding IQ. tests, aptitude and achievement tests. These tests are given twice in the course of four years of high school. Records are kept for future reference. All in all, much is accomplished through the Forum. Cascia Hall stands highly accredited hy the North Central Association. In its annual report to the Forum, Father Sinnott, through his very capable faculty, has assured both parent and student that Cascia of-ters a competent graduate for any college in the country. We would like to express our deepest appreciation to the P. T. A. for the success of their Benefit Dance. The proceeds realized thereto will afford us many opportunities for our comfort and pleasure.

DRAMATIC CLUB Cascia Thespians have made quite a name for themselves during the past year. Under the able di- rection of Father A. LaFleur, Cascia has given many performances that have aroused the public to the fact that Cascia Hall not only exceeds as a school of learning in Tulsa, but it is also very talented in the arts. Every year Cascia is joined by the students of Monte Cassino in the presentation of the school plays. It has been a busy year indeed for those two schools because of the many performances tendered this year. Before Christmas two plays were given for the students and their parents: one a dramatic play, the other a Christmas play. The latter was also given over the KOTV television station. Cascia is most reputable for the wonderful theater- in-the-round productions. After only three years of these productions they have netted state-wide acclaim. This year a comedy was presented entitled Jenny Kissed lVle.'l It offered delightful entertainment. People from all over the state came to see it. This Page 78 production enjoyed a prosperous and well-received three-niht run during Holy Week in the Chestnut Gymnasium. Cascia alternates with its productions as far as drama and comedy are concerned. It might be inserted here that without the expert direction of Father LaFleur, Cascia would not enjoy the name that the success of these plays has brought to Cascia Hall, Cascia has always enjoyed the privilege of going to the Southwest Conference for the theater-in-the- round productions. Their production this year was acclaimed by all present as one of the outstanding high school theatrical groups in the Southwest. The activities of the Cascia Dramatic Club were not all connned to our own productions. Cascia stu- dents toolc part in plays at Monte Cassino and those who were fortunate enough to have singing voices and talent took lead roles in the Holland Hall operetta, Princess Ida. The Dramatic Club and its moderator, Father La Fleur, are deeply grateful to the girls who helped in making these plays possible.

Sparked by Bob Witucki's running, including his thirty-yard return of an intercepted pass for a touch- down, the overmatched Commandos managed to keep the game close until the third period. Then the Chieftains, led by their ace fullback, Charles Joseph, began to pull away to make the final score 33-12. This was a non-conference game, but nevertheless ended a three-game winning streak carried over by the Commandos from 1952. MARQUETTE: A blocked extra-point attempt in the Final seconds of the game cost the Commandos their second straight loss, and their only defeat in conference play of the season, as they lost to the Marquette Meteors, 7-6, at Webster Stadium, Sep- tember 24. The Meteors took the lead early in the game, driv- ing fifty-eight yards to a touchdown the first time they got the ball. The extra point gave them a 7-0 advantage which they held until the dying moments of the game. From the first quarter on the Com- mandos held the upper hand on both offense and defense but could not score until late in the fourth quarter. The running of Bob Witucki and passes by Head Coach Leo Mahoney him and Joe Kopta led a sixty-seven yard drive to a touchdown. Witticki attempted the extra point but the center of the Nlarquette line broke through to block it and gave the Nleteors their first victory over Cascia in four years. SPERRY: Cascia traveled to Sperry, October 9. to score the First victory of the season, a convincing Z8-6 triumph over the Sperry Pirates. The game was all Cascia's from start to finish, and the Commandos looked very good in crushing the fifth-ranked Class B team in the state. Left to right, first row: Managers C, Day and B. Allred.

FIRST TEAM HOLDENVILLE: The Commandos suffered their third and last defeat of the season on October 16, at the hands of the Holdenville Wfolverines. The Wolverines started fast, scoring the first time they got the ball following a forty-five yard drive. But from then on, the Commando defense was superb and Holdenville never again moved the ball into Cascia territory. But the Commando attack could not match their defense, and despite moving the ball inside the Holdenville twenty-Eve yard stripe :ix times during the game they could not score, and so lost 6-O. STIGLER: The Commandos crushed an outclassed Stigler team, 46-6, for their second victory, at Stigler, October 23. Assistant Coach Angelo Prassa 5 With Bob Witucki scoring three touchdowns him- self, passing to Dave Loop and Seth Herndon for two more, and Dan Simpson and George Park each add- ing a six-pointer, the Commandos ran away with the game. Some eighty members of the Kommando Klub traveled to Stigler to cheer the team to victory. ST. GREGORY: The Commandos strengthened their position in the Catholic Conference and recorded their third victory of the season by defeating the St. Gregory Knights, 33-19, at Cascia Field on November 1. Completely outplaying the Knights, the Com- mandos built up a Z0-6 half time advantage on scores by Bob Witucki, George Miller, and Ted Bashaw. The Knights played the Commandos on even terms throughout the second half, but passes from Witucki to Dave Loop gave Cascia two more touchdowns and their 14-point margin of victory. HOLY FAMILY: The Commandos clinched second place in the Catholic Conference in the season finale, defeating the Holy Family Crusaders, 47-12, on No- vember 8, at Cascia Field. Touchdowns by George Park, Seth Herndon, George Miller, and Ted Bashaw gave Cascia a Z7-0 advantage at half time. Led by fullback Tom Patrick, the Crusaders rallied for two second half touchdowns, but scores by Dan Simpson, Seth Herndon, and Bob Witucki made it a rout and brought to an end another successful season for Cascia.

Of these qualities, that of paramount importance is the ability to conduct oneself with dignity and honour before God and man. One channel through which this quality is expressed in the life of the Cascia Man is social functions. In fact, social life is an integral part in the attainment of the ideal. Cascia Hall lends itself to the traditions which it has produced, and the traditions, in turn, have been fostered by the atmos- phere of the school. And Cascia traditionally spon- sors activities of high character. Whereas the quanti- ty of such activities is at times questioned by some, the quality is reproached by none. Yes, the quality of our formals, our proms, was truly irreproachable. Soft lights-sweet music- frothy formals swirling under a canopy of blue and white-the redolence of flowers-whispered wordsfa sparkling laughter-such was the majestic setting of our Christmas Formal, An authentic wisp of le beau monde blended with the familiar campus atmos- phere of Chestnut Gym. It was Chestnut Gym in all its festive elegance, it was undeniably Chestnut Gym with its best foot forward. Sponsored by the Senior Class, this dance was the apex of the holiday social season on the campus. Debonair Cascians looked their handsomestg the elite of Tulsals made- moiselles their loviliest and most alluring. And the Page 100 music? lwell, it was rather spirited-however, en' joyed immensely by everyone. All in all, it was a most genteel affair. The Kommando Klub was inaugurated amid the familiar towers of Cascia three years ago. Gaining impetus each successive year, the activities of the group culminate annually in the Kommando Klub Ball, usually an event of late autumn. This yearis Ball surpassed, by common consent, all its predeces- sors. The coronation of the Kommando Klub queen followed by the presentation of award to the football player adjudged most valuable during the immediately concluded season served to add colour and a certain distinguishing quality to the festive occasion. And many a reminiscence of the merry time had by all lingered through the Thanksgiving vacation and afterward. And Finally and inevitably came the swan song for us, the Seniors of '54-our last dance at Cascia as Cascians. Amid the fragrance of late spring, as May was fading into June and the Class of '54 was slowly, but as surely, fading into history, the Spring Formal was held. A valedictory theme hovered over this soiree of soirees. An unmistaken sadness blended with the gaiety. For the Seniors the gaiety was not quite so frivolous. Nor was the sadness remorsefule- just a bit sentimental. The gym was resplendent in all its customary glory, the music, beautiful and rather melancholy, the decorations, impeccable, the adieux, numerous, the memories, endless.
