We, the Staff of 1941, have the honor of present ' ing to you, this, the Tenth volume of the Cathedral Annual. As our theme we have chosen the Cru- sader, the Knight of God. The name “Crusader” has played a major part in our years at Cathedral. The title was given to the student publication, and the athletic teams, and we feel no better theme could be applied. The purpose of this publication is to show you the “Crusader” in his spiritual, scholastc, athletic and social life, and to introduce the Cathedral boy to you. He seriously devotes his time to the better ment of his life, that he might be a citizen of whom his country may be proud. All of his daily actions are directed towards the end of upholding his beliefs, to honor and adore his God, and to do his part in National Defense should the safety and well-being of his country demand it Page Three DEDICATION.. We, the Seniors of 1941, pass through the portals ot our Alma Mater, leaving behind records, tlu greatest in the school ' s history. As we leave we pause and think for a few moments on the aid and help that the President of our High School has so gener¬ ously given us during the past four years. Charac- teristic of his cheerful aid are the policies he has es¬ tablished here at Cathedral. He realizes the fact that the young man of today enters upon a world where a complex society is be¬ ing rushed in the flood of false theories and philos¬ ophies. To prepare the High School student to en¬ ter such a society, Monsignor Mueller has provided for these everchanging needs of his students here at Cathedral. His program prepares them for the great human adventure called living, where sound principles, pat¬ terns, and designs for a happy, effective and success¬ ful life must be formed in the preparing interlude. The foundations for such a life has been built through his aid and leadership during our four years spent here at Cathe dral. So we, the Seniors of 1941, pause to dedicate this, “The Crusader” of ' 41, to Right Reverend Mon¬ signor Mueller for the aid and leadership he has given us, and for the always sound designs for living successfully and effectively, which were instilled in our minds here at Cathedral High. Page Four OUR SCHOOL • • • The High School Expansion Pro ' gram has introduced to Cathedral the most modern in school classrooms and equipment. The new addition, coiv sisting in a Classroom, Office, Record room. Library, Commercial room. Band room, Chemistry lab and a Physics lab, plus the remodeling of the old section, has added a new spirit to school life. The proposed gynv nasium would permit the addition of a new course, that of physical culture, and would give the basketbal team an unequalled floor. The boys who still have a year or more to enjoy these facilities can truly be envied by the graduates of ' 41. Though we are graduating this year we will always have reasons to be proud of our Cathedral, our Alma Mater, our School. Page Five HIS EXCELLENCY... The Most Reverend Henry Alt ' hoff, Bishop of Belleville since 1914, assistant at the Pontifical Throne and member of the Papal Household. The passing of time has not served to dim the ardor of His Excellency in following the admonition of our Divine Savior: Going therefore teach ye all nations. . His has been a continued interest in the advancement of educational institutions in the Belleville Diocese and particularly our own. Through his encouragements and blessings, Cathedral High School has continued to grow in enrollment and material equipment. This year marked the addition of six new classrooms to our school. A gymnasium is to be added soon to aid in the physical upbuilding of the students. Although we of this year s graduating class will not benefit directly by these addi ' tions we are proud to see our school grow. We are grateful to His Excellency for making Cathedral High a bigger and better educational institution. Page Six ADMINISTRATION... Cathedral High has been conducted by the Brcth ' ers of Mary for the past thirty-six years. During that time the work they have accomplished has merited and received the appreciation of the stu¬ dents and citizens of Belleville. As the Graduates of 1941, we have been under their excellent tutelage for the past four years and consider ourselves very fortunate. Their supervi¬ sion of our educational training will always remain invaluable to us, and we shall never forget the per¬ sonal interest taken in each and every one of us. It is with much regret that we now leave the portals of Cathedral and the care of these men, who so beneficially guided our steps through our High School years. Through our four years of high school Brother Wilfrid Moran, S.M., hasbecn principal. We deep¬ ly appreciate all he has done for us. May our manly conduct henceforth bespeak the fine training we have received. 4V , « ?«• tV° t ° v vt «. -• c - «. •w , ut ' -- T T ' to «.e0« ,� c « ,. , Cp l0 -etco f , vc � ' -• 2 AS? xzzsfez P� Y Q «tv . « ,rf r .V ? “ • ° A ftOW ' ' t pn ' e e« tea • ” er „ 0 « e ct ' y0,i A A c 00 - V i e KC -«e � c .-ho-oS- « W T e C 0 ' ° P v ' o P � Yv« CpV .

Shortly after the beginning of the First Semester, the Senior Class elected five boys to office, to supervise the activities of the year. Those taking office were: Kenneth Edward Kain, President; Bernard Boskamp, VicePresi ' dent; Paul Lugge, Secretary; Oscar Joffray, Treasurer; and Norman Hoff, Publicity Manager. The first activity of the Senior Class was a weiner roast. This informal gathering opened the social calendar of the year. Throughout the semesters the officers stressed all activities and participated in all drives. Toward the end of the Second Semester the officers and the Class, in cooperation with the Mother ' s Club, planned the Senior Prom which formally closed the Senior activities. The last official act of the officers was the planning of the annual picnic. In gratitude for their labor on behalf of the Senior Class of ' 41, we dedicate this page to them. i Page }{ ne SENIOR BERNARD BOSK AMP (Ben) Blessed Sacrament WILLARD CONRATH (Shiek) Cathedral DAVID COSTELLO (Red) Blessed Sacrament WILBUR DAAB (Wib) St. John Baptist NORMAN DAHM (Norm) St. Henry HAROLD DONOVAN (Had) Blessed Sacrament CLASS OF 1941 GEORGE FUNSCH (Spud) Cathedral LEON GRANDCOLAS (Zeke) St. Luke ' s PETER GREWACH (Pete) St. John ' s Orphanage JOSEPH GUNDLACH (Joe) Cathedral THEODORE GUNDLACH (Ted) Cathedral GARRETT HALLORAN (Pat) Blessed Sacrament CRUSADERS OSCAR JOFFRAY (Ossie) Cathedral KENNETH JONES (Skipper) Cathedral KENNETH JUEN (Jung) Cathedral KENNETH KAIN (Kenny) St. Mary CARL KARFS (Corky) St. Henry RAYMOND KUEHN (Ray) St. Mary CLASS OF 1941 JOSEPH HAUSMANN (Spike) St. Luke ' s EDWARD HEMAN (Eddy) St. Mary ' s NORMAN HOFF (Mouse) Cathedral JOHN HOMRIGHAUSEN (Homer) Blessed Sacrament ROBERT HUBER (Austin) St. Mary CLARENCE IDOUX (Clancy) Page Eleven Cathedral JOSEPH PHILLIPS (Flips) St. Henry JOSEPH PLATZKOESTER (Platz) Cathedral ORVILLE QUIRIN (Orvie) Cathedral EDWIN SCHILLING (Batch) Cathedral WILLIAM SCHLOSSER (Iggy) Cathedral JAMES SCHMIDT (Crusher) St. Luke CLASS OF 1941 DANIEL LAUER (Daisy) Cathedral JOHN LEAHY (Jack) Blessed Sacrament WILLIAM LUBY (Dingbat) Cathedral PAUL LUCGE (Pots) Cathedral FREDERICK MAY (Gabby) St. Mary ROBERT MILLER (G-man) Cathedral SENIOR Page Twelve PAUL SCHMIDT (Schmitty) Cathedral CALVIN TRUTTMANN (Cal) St. Luke CHARLES WEYGANDT (Charlie) Cathedral CLETUS WITTENAUER (Witt) St. Augustine VERNON WOTTOWA (Vern) Cathedral RICHARD WULLER (Dick) Cathedral SEATED: Raymond Kuehn, John Homrighausen, Richard Wuller, Kenneth Kain, Norman Hoff, Bernard Bosk amp, David Costello.

The Junior class at the beginning of the school year was determined to win all drives and take part in all activities. The class won the first three drives, for which we were awarded spirit banners. Ab though we won no more drives, all of the boys showed some coopera ' toin in one or more drives throughout the year. Under the guidance of prefects, James Kohl for the first semester and Robert Baechle for the second semester, and the other able officers, the activities of the sodality were well conducted. Sixteen members of the class made the honor roll, with Robert Edlich meriting highest honors throughout the school year. The others were Robert Baechle, William Braun, Robert Dengler, Cyril Grimmer, Fred Jaeckel, James Kohl, Kenneth Lanter, William Miller, John Muth, John Quirin, Robert Reime, Neil Schcibcl, Ray Schilling, Thomas Sudholt, and Clarence Vollmer.

Sophomores A SOPHOMORE “A This year ' s Sophomore A class has proven itself to be leader in all branches of school activities. Our sodality was ably led by Dennis Griffin and through his efforts and the efforts ot his fellow officers our class attained a high standard in religious activities. Nine of our students merited the Honor Roll. Six of these, Richard Cadmus, Roger Forness, Dennis Griffin, John Gundlach, James Wuller, and Donald Wuller were honor students throughout the entire year. Dennis Griffin and Joseph Fcnoughty were valuable assets to the debating squad. John Gundlach and James Wuller participated in the Elocution contest with Gunth lach emerging the victor. Gundlach also won the oratory contest for the underclassmen. We can also boast of our fine cooperation in all drives, having won our share of the spirit banners. Boys from Sophomore “A have bolstered the athletic teams in the B division In boxing, J. Fcnoughty won the championship in his division. Much of the credit for our successes must go to our moderator. Brother Michael Brangan, who helped and supported us in all of our undertakings. SOPHOMORE “B” To the main extra-currucular activites Soph B was a consistant contributor. To the varsity and ‘B football teams we contributed J. Poniske, R. Lugge, C. Idoux, J. Wilson T. Wuller, and E. Schoen. B In basketball we gave such competi tors as J. Poniske, T. Wuller, E. Matychowiak, C. Idoux, C. Beclv erer, and V. Voss. Our baseball aspirants were V. Voss and J. Poniske. Boxing was livened by the presence of J. Poniske, C. Idoux, and T. Wuller. Although athletic minded, our class had its share of scholars. Coiv sistently gaining the honor roll were: E. Matychowiak, J. Wilson, J. Poniske, J. Voellinger, C. Beclv erer, P. Heman, and W. Homrig- hausen. James Voellinger represented cur class in the W.C.U. oratory contest and made a fine showing. Our sodality, headed by J. Pon- iske was ably aided and directed by J. Straubinger, C. Becherer, J. Wilson, J. Voellinger, T. Wuller, and P. Heman. Brother William Lehan was moderator of our class.

Brother Robert Wagner was our moderator. FRESHMAN “B” On September 3, 1940, 43 students entered Freshman B for a year of education under the direction of Brother Joseph Merle. Out of these 43, 42 of them have passed the initial year with success. Freshman “B” has been well represented in all fields.

Four of our boxers emerging as cham ' pions were Joseph Reis, Vincent Lan ter, Richard Smith, and Mel Roth. In the oratory contest staged by the W. C. U., John Battaglia and Anthony Frein were our representatives. The Band was supplemented by seven musicians from our class. Sodality activities in Freshman “B reached a new high under the guid ' ance of Anthony Frein, the prefect, and his fellow officers. Freshman B can earnestly and sincerely say they tried their best in all activities and will be heard from much in future years. ORGANIZATIONS... Cathedral High Sch x l was exceptionally active in extra-curricular activites this year. The Cen¬ tral Committee was formed, and had charge of all of the spiritual activities in the school. The Glee Club was formed this year by Bro. Michael Brangan, composed of stu¬ dents from all classes. It was used as the chorus in the Senior Minstrel. Those participating in the minstrel made up a small dramatic club. The Band presented two concerts un¬ der the leadership of Prof. Miller. At the second concert they made their appearance in their flashy new uniforms. The Debate Squad owes much of its public speaking success to Bro. Robert Wagner, as do also the participants in the Annual Oratory and Elocution contests. The students were constantly kept informed of the school activities by the publishing staff of the Crusader. This paper rose to new heights through the mod¬ erator, Bro. Michael. The Lettermen s Club which was organized in the second semester showed great activity and loyalty to the school by their efforts to pay for the new baseball uniforms. Another organization which highly demands the gratitude and praise of all is the Mothers Club, whose active members made possible the Prom and the new Band uniforms. All these activities are carried on with the hearty encouragement )f Monsignor Mueller, who wishes to give his boys the same ad¬ vantages had by students in larger institutions. The activities, although numerous, are so run as never to permit our losing sight of our special aim as Crusaders—the salvation of our own souls and that of others. They are thereby preparing us to be¬ come better Catholics and necessarily better citizens of our community. Page Eighteen The work of the general Sodality was supplemented by the Central This committee was composed of Senior Officers; class perfects and parish representatives. They convened bi-monthly. In preparation for the general sodality meeting, they discussed various questions and topics. These were then brought up in the general meeting. The class prefects were: John Busson, I A; Anthony Frein, IB; Dennis Griffin, IIA; Jerry Poniske, IIB; Robert Baechle, III. The Senor officers were: Richard Wuller, Prefect; Kenneth Kain, Marian Chairman; Paul Lugge, Eucharistic Chairman; Robert Huber, Mission Chair¬ man; Fritz May, Secretary. The purpose of the Parish Committee was to keep their respective pastors informed of the activities taking place at the school, and to associate the parishes more closely with the school activities. It was headed by Ted Gund- lach of the Cathedral Parish, active Chairman, and included Ed Heman, St. Mary ' s; Joe Hausmann, St. Luke ' s; Norman Dahm, St. Henry s: James Voel- linger, St. Theresa ' s; and Cletus Wittenauer, the outlying parishes.

Its next public appearance was in the Senior Minstrel, which was produced on May 18 and 19 . This was its final appearance of the year. The Glee Club consisted of thirty members, of which members six were Seniors. The success of the Club was due mainly to the able direction of Brother Michael Brangan.

This show was given on May the Eighteenth and Nine ' teenth for the benefit of the new gymnasium. The production was written and produced by Brother Raymond Witte, S.M., whose ready humor has enlivened many classes. The chorus was formed by the Glee Club under the capable direction of Brother Michael Brangan. The success of the program was due largely to the untiring efforts of these two faculty members. They spent many hours of their spare time rehearsing the cast to insure a prosperous termination of the enterprise. Dramatics... Page Twenty BAND... Director: MR. BERNARD L.

This year has marked a new high for Cathedrals Band. Everyone is proud of the success attained by the boys, but none more so than the Band s director, Mr. Bernard L. Miller. The Mothers Club has fallen for the Professor ' s boys in a big way. On Mothers ' Day, May 11, the Band made its first appearance donned in the classy new uniforms of blue and gold recently purchased by the Mothers ' Club. Cathedral had a band of which the school and the city of Belleville can be justly proud. The Band ranks amongst the best in Illinois. Seven members of the Band, Edward Heman, Theodore Gundlach, Joseph Gund ' lach, Richard Wuller, Robert Miller, Robert Huber, and Calvin Truttmann, are grad ' uating this year and their places will be difficult to fill. But each year the grade school bands of the city furnish us with a goodly number of very capable musicians, so it is hoped the vacancies caused by graduation will be ably filled. Page Twcnty ' onc DEBATE • • • The topic for debate selected for this year, “Resolved: that the Power of the Federal Government Should be Increased , covered much territory. So did the debaters. Competing in two leagues and in two tournaments, they made frequent trips in order to engage in interlocutory contests with students of schools in this area. In a tournament at St. Louis U. High School, they finished fourth among twenty ' three participating teams.

The squad this year was composed of three Seniors, John Homrighausen, Kenneth Kain, and Richard Wuller; one Junior, James Kohl, and two Soph omores, Dennis Griffin and Joseph Fenoughty. The services of James Kohl, probably the team ' s best speaker, were lost at mid-season, when a serious illness forced him to leave school. Brother Robert Wagner, coach, deserves much credit for the success the boys achieved. Page Twenty ' tu ■� Paper... Co-Editors-Kenneth Kain, ’41 Richard Vidler.

Cathedral High School, published six times a year by the class in Journalism. Established four years ago, it has enjoyed growing popularity ever since. Brother Michael Brangan, Journalism instructor, served as faculty advisor to this year ' s staff which was composed of Seniors and Juniors. Kenneth Kain and Richard Wuller were co ' editcrs; James Kohl was elected associate editor. Changes in layout and the introduction of new features received favorable comment from the stU ' dents. Columnists, Joseph Hausmann, Cletus Wit ' tenauer, Robert Baechle, and Kenneth Lanter, com ' posed the “Senior Snatches”, “Freshmen Flashes ' , “Soph Soap”, and “Junior Jibes”, individual class columns that replaced the outmioded humor strip. The introduction of a student poll to each issue, the use of more cuts, the sketches by Raymond Kuehn, all added to the reader interest of the publication. Norm Hoff ' s sports section, appearing under a new mast ' head designed by Kuehn, was also very popular. The technicalities connected with the problem of finance were ably disposed of by the Business Manager, Theodore Gundlach, and the Circulation Manager, John Homrighausen. Twice in the past three years the “Crusader” has captured All ' Catholic honors; it is hoped that it will repeat this year. But whether it does or not, at least it may be said of it, that this year ' s “Cru ' sader” served its purpose as a student publication. Page Twent ' threc Only two yeans ago the Cathedral Mothers ' Club was organized to work for the bet ' terment of our school and have since that time accomplished much. The Club has had for its officers during the past year Mrs. Paul Bccherer, President; Mrs. Frank Dahm, Vice-President: Mrs. Paul Wuller, Treasurer, and Mrs. Beno Gund- lach, Secretary. They bought a movie projector and public address system, supplied the band with flashy new uniforms, gave the Seniors a Prom and procured many other things for the school, but space does not permit a full account. To the Mothers ' Club we express our sincere thanks. May their unselfish service continue to aid tjjose who follow in our footsteps! Mothers 1 Club... The Lettermen ' s Club, inactive at Cathedral High for several years, has been re¬ organized through the efforts of several “C wearers. The first and foremost purpose of the organization is to further the cause of athletics at Cathedral. Executive members of the Club are Lettermen: Paul Lugge, President; Norm Hoff, Vice-President; William Luby, Secretary; Willard Conrath, Treasurer; James Schmidt, Pub¬ licity Agent, and Dan Lauer, Sergeant-at-Arms. The most successful enterprise undertaken was the roller skating party which netted them $25.00. This money was turned over to the Cathedral Athletic Fund. They were also very active in heading the publicity campaign for the Second Annual Boxing Tournament and the Senior Minstrel, the proceeds of which were placed in the fund for the construction of a new gymnasium for Cathedral High School.

Lettermen ) Page Twenty]ou ATHLETICS. • • We wish to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks and congratulations to the Cathedral Athletic Staff. Under the guiding hand of Brother Leo Rothermich, foot ' hall coach, the hoys were ready and willing to co-operate, know¬ ing that they would receive consideration and fair play in all their efforts. Outstanding achievement for his efforts was the acquisition of the coveted title in football of City Co-Cham- pions. Brother Henry Heidemann, President of the Catholic League, undoubtedly the busiest member of the Athletic Staff, undertook the dual duties of Athletic Director and coach of basketball and baseball. In addition to this he also found time to coach an outstanding Cathedral Grade School cage team. With the sponsorship of the Knights of Columbus he staged the Second Annual Parochial School Basketball Tournament. Boxing coach, Brother Raymond Witte, comes in for a large share of the athletic prestige acquired at Cathedral as a result of the huge success of the Second Annual Boxing Tour¬ nament which he promoted. We also wish to express to Dr. R. C. Heiligenstein, school physician, our deepest gratitude for all medical services, which he so cheerfully rendered. Pane Twenty ' five 272S84 FOOTBALL • • • With six regulars returning, the Crusaders had high hopes for a great season. However, hit hard by early season injuries, the light Crusader eleven finished with a record of one victory and two ties against five defeats. Their scoreless tie with Belle ville Township gave them the title of City Co Champs. First Row: Richard Wuller, John Faul, Paul Bertelsman, C. Vollmer, Joseph Marsh: Second Row: N. Dahm, J Kohl, A.

PERRYVILLE Running through opponents at will, but unable to score because of frequent fumbles, the Crusaders bowed, 8 6, to an inferi or St. Vincent team. DUPO- Lacking the fighting Crusader spirit during the first half the team fell before Dupo 14 0. TOWNSHIP City Co Champs. It was eleven fighting Crusaders who brilliantly outplayed their city rivals in a scoreless game. The first Cathedral team to hold B.T.H.S. scoreless. CHAMINADE—Outweighed thirty pounds per man, the Crusaders fought gallantly but met defeat 2W from a powerful Flyer eleven. CHESTER Led by Captain Paul Lugge who ran 72 yards on an intercepted pass, the team scored their only victory, defeating Chester 6 0 . MARQUETTE -Outplayed by a fast and pow erful Explorer eleven, the Crusaders suffered their second league defeat 19 0. CENTRAL Trailing 6 0 with only three min utes remaining, the determined, fighting Cru saders released a great passing attack and marched 80 yards with Jimmy Schmidt scoring. The score 6 6. Four Cathedralites were elected to the Illinois ' Missouri Catholic League All Star team. Unanimous choice for end position was Willard Conrath. Paul Lugge was selected for the fullback spot. Bill Luby and Frank Hoffmann were placed on the second team at left half and left tackle respectively. Page Twenty six BASKETBALL-VARSITY The Crusaders opened the basketball campaign with high hopes for a successful season. This confidence resulted from the fact that six lettermen were returning to the cage sport. Coach Bro. Henry was able to place Fritz May at center, with Willard Conrath and Bill Luby at forwards, while Paul Lugge and Jim Schmidt filled the po sitions of guards. In addition to these there were several very capable reserves headed by let ' terman, Ossie Joffray. H o w e v e r, overconfidence caused the Crusaders to suffer several setbacks that otherwise should have been easy victories. Scores Below : Fritz May, Leon Grandcolas, Paul Lugge, William Luby.

Prospects for a championship baseball team loomed very bright with the return of ten lettermen. Being able to place a letterman at every position Coach Brother Henry ' s task was greatly relieved. With Wit ' tenauer and Nebgen, seasoned catchers, receiving the slants of veteran pitcher Russ Hoff and promising newcomers, the Crusaders have a reliable staff. Captain Fritz May, Ossie Joffray, Art Meirink and Dan Lauer form an ex- perienced infield. Lettermen Paul Lugge, Jim Schmidt and Cal Truttman compose a hard-hitting outfield. However, an unforseen difficulty appeared. Inclement weather prevented the much needed practice and as a re suit the Crusaders got off to a slow start. In their games thus far the Crusaders divided two games w r ith Belleville Township, winning the opener 5-3 but dropping the second encounter 4-1. In the Ill-Mo Cath¬ olic League they have but one victory in five games. How¬ ever, since they are beginning to hit their stride, they are expected to finish above the .500 mark.

Forty ' three students participated in the tourney. The bouts were well patronized with approximately 1500 people in attendance. Three boxers retained their 1940 glove titles. They are: Dan Lauer, 145 ' pound Senior; Jerry Poniske, 120 pounds, and Mike Fenoughty, 90 pounds, both Sophomores. The new title holders are Joe Reis, 105 pounds; Vincent Lanter, 120 pounds; Dick Smith, 125 pounds, and Mel Roth, 140 pounds, all Freshmen, and Barney Wuebbels, 100 ' pound Junior. Only one knockout and one T.IC.O. featured the four night extravaganza. Hard ' hitting Mel Roth administered the kayo to Johnny Bauer in the first round of their bout. Julian Becherer gained a technical victory over Bob Stauder in the second round of their mix. The bouts were so evenly matched that there were sixteen split decisions. Plans are already in progress to form a boxing team to engage pugilistic squads of other schools next season. Boxing...

And this is that time and place to honor our cheerleaders. Those small but mighty men who urged their team on to many a victory. Those lads who, when the going was tough, kept up the spirits of all and en ' couraged the team to fight all the harder. However, as all good things must come to an end, we find that the leader of these spirited boys is leaving. Surely another will come to take his place, but none will hold the position he held in our esteem. So here we say goodby to Norm Mouse Hoff, the leader of the Crusader Pepsters. Here also we should like to congratulate “Mike Fcnnoughty, who led the boys when Norm was unable to attend the games. And we cannot forget the four newcomers, Ed Berkel, Bill idler, Jack Flach, and Johnny Busson, who did splendid work with the two older members. Cheer Leaders... Page Thirty CALENDAR Sept. 3.

Senior Recollections Some of these things that happened in our Senior year will find a reserved section in our sentimental memories. Do you recall: The day Brother Ray formally took charge of the Senior class? The day ‘ ' Homer” and crowd received the name “Clique”? The time they promised to drop 8th periods? The day Brother Wilfrid promised a half- day free if Wittenauer ever dusted the lah equipment or put it hack in its proper place? The time “Shiek” said Mardi Gras meant “Fassnacht”? Things still more outstanding are how Schlosser got the name “Crusher”, Fritz May’s speech at Sodality meeting, Boskamp borrowing conduct notes, Zeke and his other alias, Quirin’s manly chest, the first day the whole class was in school, the romances of Wuller, Kuehn drawing everything hut a salary, Hausmann ' s “Corn Column , Senior attendance at parish socials. Then of course you remember the Prom at the Country Club; the playing of the Notre Dame Victory March and how appropriate it was; “Homer” and Dahm sing¬ ing Mr. Gallagher for Eddie Ehret; the Glee Club’s rendition of “Amapola”; Red Costello and his favorite Don t Go Cheatin ' on Your Baby”; and finally the morning after. Then we come to phrases never to he forgotten, “One half note for conduct”, ' All right! All right!”, “Stop the chatter”, “Your attention, please”, “Everything off the desk , Take your sociologies , “The gentlemen please be quiet, the rest must”, Would you get rid of that gum, Dahm?”, “Who threw that?” All these things re¬ called, give just a brief glimpse of our Senior year.
