Confused because we knew not the ways of this new life: happy because we were now considered young men. We soon realized that high school was no pic- nic, for we met Father Nolan with his Ancient History book which fit is now known? he had memorized. Brother Stachura taught us English in a most wierd fashion. CWe'll never forget our nature walks around the blockll Father Loughran, the 1ittle giant , taught Latin, and the maze of algebra was introduced to us by Father Corcoran. We also had a freshman football team that had two wins, five losses, and one tie. How- ever it was our freshman basketball team that did us proud with a record of only one loss in seven games. Each year must have its sad point for the school, it seems, and this year was no excep- tion, for Bishop Griffin, loved by all, passed away. On the other hand, every year has a highlight. Such was the installation of Bishop William A. O'Connor, our present Bishop. The first year was gone before we knew it and we were no longer lowly freshmen-we had arrived. September 1949 rolled around, and we came back to C.H.S. as sophomores. We soon regretted this when we first saw the compli- cated geometry figures. This year too, saw a new principal at Cathedral in the person of Father Harris, successor of Father Brown who became Provincial Superior of the Viatorians in the United States. The school was honored with the establishment of the Querbes Chap- ter of the National Honor Society. But the big interest this year turned to athletics, where the football team, with a record of 8 and lp and the basketball team, with ar1 outstanding 18 and 7 mark, both took city championships! Again, before we knew it, summer vacation came our way. When we came back to school, we were Juniors and we could now look forward to the day when we could go over the walls for good. Also it suddenly began to dawn on us that we were probably the finest class ever to pass through the doors of this old institution! Practically a brand new faculty greeted us. They were: Brothers Lutz, Cusack, McMahon, cmd Ryan: and Fathers Puisis, Kelly, and Maranto. And we can't forget the two bud- dies , Fathers Anson and Beatty. The former, twho it is said had financial influencel, took over the Dean of Studies office. Father Puisis introduced the Sodality of Our Lady, which was well received by the student body. Father Puisis was an inspiring leader. The third yea.r's football team again ex- celled, winning 7 out of 8 games. The only. loss being a one point heartbreaker to Spring- field. The basketball team had a rather dismal showing, but was building up to a great year. The highlight this year was the Career Con- ference, the first of its kind in the Springfield area. Under the leadership of Brother Ryan, various Career clinics attracted great local and statewide interest. The main speakers for the conference were Gov. Adlai Stevenson, Bishop William A. O'Connor and Father Brown. The clinics were given by men of outstanding achievement in their fields. Then, out of the clear blue sky, came Iune, and vacation. There were again new faculty members holding up the old doors when we returned to school as envied seniors. ,These were Brothers Perham, Schertz and Czerwonkia: and Fathers Spiekerman, Leahy, Tobin, and Des Lauriers. The big loss was the mid-semester departure of Father Puisis, who was one of the finest priests we had the pleasure to know. With the new gymnasium completed, a full program of physical education was begun with Mr. Glea- son as director. As the day of graduation looms, we look back upon our four years and recall many pleasant land some unpleasantl memories. However, the majority are pleasant so we carry our happy years with us. Without boasting we can say Cathedral is proud of us, as it is of every graduating class-but we also safely say that there will never be another.

The Cyclone's start was slow, losing the first two games of the season, but rebounding with six straight wins, including the coveted city championship by beating Springfield the final nite with a 63 to 61 score. However, after this fine display of playing, the Cinderella Team lost six straight including losses to Staunton, Gillespie and Taylorville- all highly ranked teams in the state. Then the Cathedralites started a comeback -a comeback that will be remembered for a long time by Cyclone fans. To start the ball rolling, a good Lincoln team was beaten ton Abraham Lincoln's birthdayll 59 to 38. Picking up gradually from that time on, the Cathedral boys finished their season play with only one more loss-this to the Pana Panthers. Going into Regional play with a l4-lO record, the Cyclones did not let the experts down as they breezed past Auburn, Lanphier, and SPRlNGtFIELDMto gain a Sectional berth! After beating a good Mason City team twice in a week, the Cyclones closed their season by losing to a fired-up ball club from lackson- ville, 58 to 57l And so, after a very good show- ing throughout the season, and since the squad will lose only three men, there is promise of much to come next year. There can be every hope for a trip to Champaign next March. I. M. and P. F. SEASON RECORD Cathedral ....... .......... M t. Olive ..... Cathedral ....... ...,.. I acksonville .

NATURE BOY M.C. AND GANG ASSISTANT DEAN MAMA MIA SHOW DIRECTORS HERE I COME! SAFE AT HOME ,afflll .Milf f .qitfllifl tml ' Q' ' ' , I ' - ., if xx I It l PIRCQDIQIQI ECCY It was such a beautiful day in the late spring of the year 1962, that I decided to leave the office and take a day or two off, to visit my old home town, Springfield, Illinois, and renew old and half-forgotten friendships. I took a train down and recognized the flagman as my old school-mate, Ioe Rockford. Ioe informed me that Gene Bertrand and his two brothers had entered their own business, called the Bertrands' Baby-sitting Bureau. On the way down I noticed a billboard ad. On it was Don Bacon posing for a cigarette advertisement. I bought a magazine to ease the monotony and there on the front cover was a picture of Mr. America-The Perfect Man. I recognized him immediately as Nick Geibel. Nick was elected Mr. America because of his perfect measure- ments which consists of a 45 chest,.35 waist, and 45 hips. On the 2nd page was a picture of Rich Mentel, his wife Colleen, and their two children. They had been picked the most typical family of Springfield. Also in the book was an article on Beagle Hound Breeding by the country's top expert, Frank Huts Hutter. A few miles from Springfield I de- veloped a terrific tooth-ache and when I reached the city I was rushed to the leading dentist in Springfield, Dr. Bill Geiser. He pulled my tooth and handed me my bill. After I was revived, I paid the bill and decided to listen to the Cardinal-Giant baseball game. It was the last of the 9th, there were two outs, one man on base, the count was 3 balls and two strikes, and Cardinals were batting . They were behind l to O, when up stepped Iack Fontana. He slugged a home run into the right-field bleach- ers to pace the Cards into first place. The pitcher was Beaver Schwartz who pitched a 3 hit game. This makes him 21 wins against 2 losses. Broadcasting the game was the sports announcer Don F iaush. After the game I bumped into Pete Britz. Pete now owns one of the biggest dairy farms in central Illinois. Pete told me that Mickey Buscher, the new bobby soxer's idol had been offered a movie contract. He also told me that Mrs. Don Reidel had her 16th child, and Donnie is so happy because it was finally a boy. The baby was baptized by Monsignor Buzzy Franz. I went to call on my old friend Monsignor Franz, and he in- formed me that recently he had joined Larry Link and Ieanie R. in holy matrimony. Larry now drinks beer, eats beer, and takes baths in Reisch's beer. He also told me that Frank Cummings, Mike Crowley, and Al Kunz had entered the beer business, but were drinking up all the profits. That afternoon I went to the Spfld. Speedway to watch the hundred mile A.A.A. race. I recognized two of the drivers as Bob Flynn and Iirn Buoy: both driving I6 cylinder cars, 500 H.P. The race started and it was Buoy and Flynn all the way until at the stretch when a 1 cylinder, 6 H.P. Nash Rambler with a Cushman engine left all the other drivers in his dust, and won. As the driver of the Rambler stepped out to receive his prize, I saw that it was Don Kunzweiler. After the race I met Sergeant Louis Cherry of the United States Marines. He told me that in 2 years he would receive his pension. I asked him where his old sidekick was and he informed me that Ioe Buragas hadjoined the Marine Corp hoping to get into Louie's company: but unfortunately they shipped him to Korea. Louie and I de- cided to see the circus. On the way there he turned on the radio and we listened to Dom Giacomini's program. Following this came an ad for Kennison's Super Market. Bob had worked so long at Harms' Super Market that he had made enough to buy it. The program following the commercial was the Dresch s Soda Hour starring Charlie McCarthy. Re- member, for the pause that refreshes, drink Dresch's. The guest singer was Dick Casey. Dick began his career by sinqinq that new song hit, When You Say I Beg Your Pardon Then I'1l Come Back To You. Following the Dresch Soda Hour, came Ron DuBois and Cook CLASS PROPHECY OF 1952 McG1raugh-the best comedy team since Dean Martin and Ierry Lewis. We arrived at the circus and took in the various acts. First was a Magic Fakirg I thought he looked familiar, but when he performed his card tricks I knew him to be Ioe Stenger. Next on the list was the circus strong man Dick Gleason. Dick has changed a lot in the last 10 years. After this came a native wild man from the deepest, darkest depths of the jungles of North Africa. But this was a fake. I knew it was only Henry Sabu Riedenp although Sabu fooled a lot of people. Bob Hickey was the circus clown. After the circus we went to the Tom Murphy, lack Schafer pool salon, for a game of snooker. Here we met that old snooker shark Dick Lan- genfeld. Dick was putting on an exhibition with Willie Hoppe who is now retired, because he lost to Dick. I guess the disgrace was too much. Dick told me that Lucky Carl Schlos- ser had opened a gambling casino in Spring- field: the only game played there was Black- jack: because that was the only game that Carl could win. But Carl and his right hand man, Big lim Moore, are being hounded by the state's attorney, Tom Murray, who is exposing their rackets. Chief Iustice Dave O'Shea is presiding over the case. Frank Eck is the third party involved in the case. When Big lim was picked up and questioned by the police as to who was the brains behind the setup, he replied, Eck did it. Frank is now being held by the police as chief suspect. After leaving the pool saloon-excuse me-salon-I ran into Tom Horrigan. He explained to me that he was now managing Iimmy Dunham: Iimmy is running for President on the Democratic Ticket. His opponent on the Republican Ticket was Bobby Bristol who announced that he was throwing his hat into the ring. Bobby is being backed by some big politicians from Spring- field. Asking why Jimmy is running on the Democratic Ticket, Tom told me that no other party would have him. His running mate, or comrade in arms was Iohn L. Tom also in- formed me that lim Sponsler had replaced Iohn L. Lewis as head of the coal miners union. After meeting Tom, I went to the Lake Club which is now owned by Iim Fitzgerald, and doing very well. Currently showing at the Lake Club is the Frank Hodalski orchestra with Ioe Heisler on the sax, Hubie Ludwig, clarinet, and Bill Dougherty, trumpet. What, a band? Charlie Roach was the vocal stylist singing, Carry me back to OL' VIRGINY. Several other fellows I once knew well were working there: Dick Eggleston was the bartender, and big 300 lb. Fred Schlosser was the Club's bouncer. Fred informed me that Ross Dunlevy was Produce Manager at the Piggly Wiggly stores, and Mike Brennan was doing well with his Funeral Parlor, featuring an easy layaway plan. Several distinguished people entered the club while I was there. Among them were Don Wendell, now perfecting his theory on radioactivity of the -radio: Doctor Larry Pen- ning, the obstetricianp Eddie Rechner, owner and operator of Amrhein's Bakery: and Bill Downing, president of the Tall Men's Club. Leaving the club, I bought a newspaper with screaming headlines to the effect that Donald Bring 'em Back Alive George had returned from a hunting trip in which he brought back some fine specimens. Also on the front page was an article saying that Louie Brandis had shot down his 5th MIG over the skys of Korea, which makes him an ace. On the second page was an announcement telling about the Grand Opening of Chops Wehnert's Reducing Em- porium. On the third page was an ad for Ray Shedko's suntan lotion which immediately takes away all pain from a sunburn. It took Ray l0 years to perfect this lotion, but he finally did it and has become quite wealthy. He calls it the Hickory Point Lotion. The sports page headlines announced that Welterweight charn- pion Pat Bonansinga had just successfully de- fended his crown for the 33rd consecutive time. I went to see Ray in his big mansion on the Lake and found him and Dave Brost visiting. Davie is still going steady with Ioie. Ray was very glad to see me and gave me a bottle of his suntan lotion. He told me that Charlie Ludwig is one of the richest farmers' in mid- Illinois, having raised a bumper crop of 40 bushels of corn per acre, on a 500 acre farm. I stayed at Ray's house the rest of the day. He drove me down to the railroad station. On the way, we developed car trouble and stopped at one of Bill Becker's gas stations. Bill now owns' one of the biggest chain of stations in the state, starting at the bottom and working all the way to the top. When asked how he did it and to what he owes his success, he replied, The Career Conference. We continued on our way, the car having been fixed, and I caught the train just in time. As I relaxed in my berth, I felt a great joy and satisfaction having been able to meet- or hear about all the Class of '52.
