field of research. The students doing the research have produced many schol- arly papers on scientists, scientific discoveries, and scientific theories. Thus far we have only mentioned the Physics and Chemistry Laboratory, but Cathedral also has a Biology Laboratory. lt is in the latter that the younger boys prepare for their science course. lt is in the Biology Laboratory, that the freshman first sees the wonderful design of God, in the bodies of creatures. The display cabinets in the rear of the Laboratory contain the microscopes, slides, and models employed in teaching Biology. Throughout the room there are specimens of fish, birds and insects in bottles, and tableaus of preserved moths and butterflies. Oscar, the clean White skeleton, dangles loosely from a stand in the corner. Toward the front of the room is the excellently equipped experiment table upon which Father Fahey demonstrates the principles of Biology. We, the students, are indeed grateful for our laboratories which are second to none, and our Science, Physics, and Biology instructors, who are unsur- Fumble- IAMES H. PITZPATRICK, '42. HANDBALL Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive The Blessing lies. 'F ' HE handball tournament, which is usually held in May, was held N V early this year. The reason was, that often in the past, the contest was begun too late, and the finals were never reached. Mr. Crane wished to correct this, and consequently began the tournament in September, so there would be plenty of time in which to finish it. This year we hail as champs of the handball court, two seniors of the high school, Tom Gradilone, and Tom Sheehan. They won their title by defeating in a close game, lim Tuite and Vinny La Rocca of Fifth Year. Their victory capped the tournament which was filled with close, exciting games, lf the same fellows who played in this contest are seen on the court next year, you can be sure of seeing some hot action. One of the pleasing things about the tournament each year is the spirit in which every game is played. No matter what their standing, each team plays right up until the last shot caroms off the wall. Handball has always been a favorite sport in the school, not only with the students, but also with the faculty. Of course everyone missed Father Kowalski's brilliant playing this year, and we all hope he will soon return to the courts. But if handball has its benefits, it also has its drawbacks. Almost every student who has ever played on the courts has lost more than one ball, because of a high shot which sent it over the wall and into someone's back yard. Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a little guard fence on the top of these walls? lt would save a lot of balls, tempers and games. Taken all in all, however, we think handball is the most popular game in the school. Everyone can participate, there are no exceptions. It is one of the finest forms of exercise, and is very convenient for our small school. RICHARD F. LANE, '42. lllff . as Ain t tw Q1 .ey ,Q . pp f f l I 456.53 CATHEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL
