Richard Cadmus, Jack Gundlach, Dennis Griffin, James Wuller, Joe Mueller, William Homrighausen, and James Voellinger were seen on the list of honor students. In spiritual matters we also were very active. Led by cur prefect, Jerry Poniske, we engaged actively in all the spiritual undertakings. The Juniors enjoyed a Com¬ munion breakfast each First Friday in the Cathedral dining hall. Carl Becherer, Tom Wullcr, James Wilson, Leroy Haas, James Voellinger, Jerry Poniske, Paul Hcman and Ed Schoen held coveted positions in the band. The Juniors participated in all the drives and won the boxing ticket drive and the spring paper drive, emerging third in the total point standing for the large Spirit Banner. In extra-curricular activities, the Juniors kept pace with the rest of the school. In debating, the squad was ably aided by Jack Gundlach, Dennis Griffin, Richard Cad¬ mus, and Jim Wuller. They gave great help to the team ' s successful season. Although wc had many participants in other extra-curricular activities, athletics were not neglected. Helping all the students take part in athletics was Mike Fcnoughty, head cheer¬ leader. We were assisted in all these activities by our moderator, Brother Michael Brangan.

With our second year of high school drawing to a close, we of Soph A feel that we can look hack upon this year as one of our best. We are sincere in our belief that we have put everything into this, our Sopho more year. Composed of thirty loyal Americans under the leadership of Brother Leo Wagner, we presented a very serious obstacle to any class that tried to win any drives. We contributed a large number of formidable football players. They were: Johnny Conrath, Butch Wieseiv born, Leo Germain, Mel Roth, and Richard Smith. On the basketball squad we were represented by the fob lowing: F. Karfs, Joe Renner, Mel Roth, Tom Bighaus, and John Conrath. Soph A won the Catholic Press Month display with a beautiful entry. To climax Press Month, Al Stingl ' s poster was voted the most artistic in the whole school. In the Junior Oratory eliminations Anthony Zagarski took first place. With these thoughts in mind we are eagerly awaiting our Junior year, in which we intend to lead the school, in everything it might sponsor. Dunng the past year our religious activities were ably directed through the efforts of Jim Sullivan and the other class officers. Boys from Sophomore B participated in many of the extra-curricular activities of the school. Vincent Lanter, Herman Pacini, Everett Pfeiffer, Cornelius Roth, and Jim Sullivan represented our class on the gridiron. In basketball we were represented by Larry Schmidt. Herbert Helfrich, champion of his division, Vincent Lan ter, and Everett Pfeiffer made a fine showing in the boxing tourney. Cornelius Roth was a member of the baseball team. Art Biehl and Harry Funk, musically inclined boys, are members of the band. Five members of our class made the Honor Roll with Vincent Fellner and William Schulte leading the class. James Herold, Leon Schneider, and Jim Sulivan also attained that coveted honor. Our moderator was Brother Gabriel Galos. B First row: H. Funk, J. Sullivan, C. Gass, V. Edelmann, C. Fohr, R.
