The pictures of Rue McNay, Tony Zagarski and Tom Bighaus do not appear among those of the graduates, yet they have a right to be there. To those three, who through Providence are unable to take their place with us, we dedicate this, our Senior Annual. Tom and Tony met their deaths swimming on a class picnic, one year later Rue too, was drowned. Tom and Tony were our religious leaders as well as being leaders in their respective studies. Rue was outstanding both in the classroom and the athletic field. They went as men should go, not recklessly, but engaged in the development of their growing bodies. They were athletes with us, they were scholars with us, they were growing to be men with us. It is only fitting therefore, that we remember them with this small dedication. May our Blessed Mother remember them and seek their eternal Salvation, as they died in the beautiful month dedicated to her, the month of May. Page Three HIS EXCELLENCY... Most Reverend Henry Althoff, Bishop of Belleville The Cathedral High Seh(x l graduates of 1944 salute His Excellency, Most Rev¬ erend Bishop Henry Althoff, our spiritual leader, to whom the senior class owes much. From his hand have come many and various benefits. He has provided facilities to aid our spiritual as well as temporal education. His interest in the welfare of the Cathedral High School students has been ever felt by all concerned. Together with our president, Monsignor Joseph Mueller, and the Brothers of Mary, we, the ‘44 seniors, have received the utmost in Catholic High School education. He has constantly endeavored to promote all activities beneficial to the students, and has provided for any new addition to the school which would help the students in any way. So once again we salute His Excellency and sincerely thank him from the bottom of our hearts; though we cannot ably express our sentiments in words, we feel them in our hearts, and wish Bishop Althoff many more years of his able cooperation with his students toward their Catholic education. Page Four We now leave the halls of learning at Cathedral High, stepping out into a new life - into horizons unknown and unlim¬ ited. The Cathedral graduates, 1944, are soon to participate in the enormous task of liberating and reconstructing the war- torn world. It has ever been the aim of the men be¬ hind Cathedral to build men of sound mind, body, and character. Our President, Monsignor Joseph M. Mueller, has left no doubt in our minds if his success in this category. From our first day at Cathedral, he has striven to provide every facility toward the betterment of our education. So we, the graduates of 1944 extend to our President, Monsignor Mueller, our most sincere thanks for the utmost in co¬ operation toward our ultimate end fighting Crusaders — working Americans fighting and working to make the world a better place in which to live, and prepar¬ ing for our one goal -our eventual union with our Maker. Right Reverend Monsignor Joseph M Mueller After our first year at Cathedral High under the direction of Brother Wilfrid Moran, Brother Urban Fleege, S.M., Ph. D., returned to Cathedral High to assume duties as principal. Strict discipline prevailed at Cathedral under Brother Urban’s tenure, in his effort to train Cathedral High students to the ut¬ most in every trait, to build future Ameri¬ can ciizens of sound mind and character. Then, in December, 1941, came the grim menace of war, so Brother Urban immedi¬ ately set about to install courses and other facilities which would be as beneficial as possible to the future service men of Ca¬ thedral — those valiant men who were to safeguard the future of their country. And now, in one of the major steps of life, graduating from high school into ho¬ rizons unlimited and unknown, we, the seniors of ' 44, realize that Brother UThan Fleege, was eventually to fulfill his mission — that of making Cathedral High an edu¬ cational organization governed by men, for men!

Conrath; (stand¬ ing) A. Cordie, F. Karfs, R. Stauder. The Central Committee of the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception is corn posed of the Senior sodality officers, of parish representatives and class prefects. These officers are responsible for the planning and supervision of the monthly Sodality meet ings, and other spiritual activities of the school. The Sodality, which has as its motto “Through Mary to Jesus , was started in the year 1932, and is directly affiliated with the Sodality at Rome. This year ' s Sodality witnessed considerable changes in the line-up of officers. For the first semester, John Battaglia was Prefect; Cornelius Roth, Marian Chairman; John Fellner, Eucharistic Chairman; Richard Smith, Catholic Action Chairman; Aifred Stingl, Mission Chairman, and Bernard Hoffman, Secretary. The various class Prefects were: Russell Wenzel, Juniors; Frank Donovan, Sophomore A ; William Bauer, Sophomore B ; Robert Kotva, Freshman “A ' ; and Vernon Pacini, Freshman “B These officers always encouraged discussion from the floor, for they wanted the student body to feel that they had something to say in regards to what was done in the Sodality. Heated debates occurred on several occasions, which added considerable interest to the meetings. At the end of the first semester new officers were elected. John Busson garnered the position of Prefect; Bernard Hoffman was chosen Marian Chairman; Herman Pacini, Eucharistic Chairman; Anthony Cordie, Catholic Action Chairman; John Conrath, Mission Chairman; and Melvin Roth, Secretary. The new arrangement proved quite satisfactory, holding its first meeting on Thursday, February 10. The rest of the classes also elected new class officers. The new class Prefects were: Lorrain Braun. Sophomore A ; John Biekert, Sophomore B ; Kenneth Faust, Freshman B ; and Robert Fritz, Freshman A Russell Wenzell remained as Junior Prefect. This smoothly functioning machine was temporarily slowed down when Prefect John Busson resigned, due to curricular difficulties. The Senior class then held an election, at which time Edward Hotz was appointed to succeed Busson. Under Hotz ' s capable direction the Sodality finished out the year. Among this year ' s outstanding events was the reception of the new candidates into the Sodality on Dec. 9, with Monsignor Joseph Mueller officiating. Other activities included the threc ' day Triduum of Masses and Communions, on December 6, 7 and 8, for the Pope. This was the Sodality ' s Christmas present to His Excellency. The Living Rosary was again put into operation during the month of October. Everything possible was done by the Sodality to encourage the frequent reception of Holy Com ' munion by the students during the course of the year. v 1 ■ v . Page Fourteen p i BAND First Row: D.

The Cathedral High School Band, under the capable direction of Bernard L. Miller, K.S.G., who has led the band for over ten years, again worked diligently, and as a result produced two fine concerts; the first being presented on January 23, and the second on Mothers ' Day. The concert in honor of Father Chaminade presented a selection of overtures and marches. The highlight of the May 10 concert was the playing of “Shubert ' s Unfiinished Symphony in E Minor by Franz Schubert, famous Austrian composer. Both concerts included a well selected program, and both were received by an appreciative audience. Due to graduation, the band will lose 4 of its most capable members, including Mel Lindauer, first Clarinet; John Buchholz, first Trombone; Arthur Biehl, first horn; and Harry Funk, bass drummer. The band performed on numerous occassions, rendering service at assemblies, parades, picnics, and also at Le Clerc College on several programs. Cathedrals band, although not entering into competition with other high school bands, is rated as one of the best high school bands in southern Illinois. The band hopes to continue its fine work next year by making use of undeveloped talent among the graduates of the numerous Catholic grade sch(x ls of Belleville. The members of the band are: Solo trumpet, Pat Griffin; first trumpet, George Wyatt; second trumpet, Jim Huber and John Biekert; third trumpet, Allan Belleville; first clarinet, Mel Lindauer and Don Schaefer; second clarinet, Richard Rice and Jim Rowan, third clarinet, Robert Dengler and Richard Rice; first trombone, Joe Glauber and John Buchholz; second trombone, Lawrence Fournie; third trombone, Jim Duncan and Tom Kinsella; baritone, Don Nesbit; sousaphonc, Walter Nesbit; bass drums, Harry Funk and Quinten Huber; snare drums, L. Wachtel and William Potts; first horn, Art Biehl; second horn, Cletus Andres; and oboe, Harry Lorenz; drum major, Harry Lorenz. Page Fifteen DEBATE TEAM The debaters of Cathedral High ran into uncomfortably difficult competition in the course of the season ' s meets. The winter slate of the team led them to three St. Louis schools for argumentation with students from all of the St. Louis area. The site of the tournaments were St. Elizabeth Boarders and Day Sch x)l for Girls, South Side Catholic High School and St. Louis University High School. In the course of these sessions Cathedral debated against McBride, South Side, St. Elizabeth ' s, Central Cath ' olic, and St. Louis University High. The topic for discussion among high schools this year was, “Resolved: That the United States should participate in the reconstruction of the League of Nations . Cathedral ' s affirmative in its arguments stressed the obligation binding on the United States by virtue of Social Justice. It emphasized the admitted necessity of a world organization and the efficiency-barring minor details—of the League of Nations provided in the Treaty of Versailles. Our negative parried such blows with evidence showing the lack of cooperation of the Allies in past leagues and their selfishness in cx ploiting the g enerosity of America ' s foreign policy. It was Cathedral ' s affirmative arguments which marred St. Louis University High ' s perfect record at the meet held in St. Louis University. The regular affirmative team was made up of Edward Hotz, Leon Mayer; the negatives were Jack Fcllner and John Linder. Substitutes and apprentice Freshmen were Robert Kosar, Theodore Michaelis, Leo Voss, Jack Theiss, and Thomas Kinsella ELOCUTIONISTS AND ORATORS Left to right: H. Lorenz (orator). W. Nesbit, J. Renner, B. Lorenz, R. Kosar, E. Hotz (orator), A. Lucash, and W. Zahn. Cathedral again held the annual Oratory and Elocution Contests in the Cathedral High auditorium, before one of the periodical Mothers ' Club meetings. Edward Hotz, 44, and Harold Lorenz, ' 45, represented the Juniors and Seniors in the Oratory Contest. Hotz, having the topic of General Mark Wayne Clark , emerged as the victor. The trophy presented to the winners was sponsored by the Most Reverend Bishop Althoff. Walter Zahn, ' 47, won out over a group of six Freshmen and Sophomore finalists in the Elocution Contest. The Spieler Sells Shoes was the selection rendered by Zahn. Other finalists were Walter Nesbit, last year ' s winner, who presented Mark Anthony ' s Funeral Oration ; Arthur Lucash. presenting Spartaeus to the Gladiators ; Bernard Lorenz and his selection, The Treasures of the Church ; James Renner, who spoke on A Bid for the Tourist Trade ; and Robert Kosar, with his selection, The Dentist Chair Philosopher . The Elocution trophy was sponsored by Mr. Fred Zacharski. Judges were: Mr. John Dengler, Miss Stella Stenger, and Reverend Leonard Bauer, S.T.D. The Winners Bishop) Althoff presenting trophies to E.

Under the direction of Brother Michael Brangan, S.M., the Journalism class, headed by four Seniors, has again presented the students with a pleasing publication. The title of “The Crusader was again used as the banner head, due to the fact that all our athletic teams and other forms of outside school representation perform under this inspiring caption. This year ' s staff was headed by Richard Smith and John Fellner, serving in the capacity of Co-Editors. The position of Sports Editor was held by John Flach, while William Wuller was Feature Editor. Under their direction served the rest of the staff, composed of Juniors and several Sophomores. The number of publications was increased from the six issues of former years to eight for this year. Nine issues were contemplated, but due to a lack of financial backing, only eight issues were able to be completed. It is doubtful if this year ' s policy will be continued in the future, for it was found that putting out eight issues placed the staff under considerable strain, especially in meeting its “deadlines for publication. The final issue of the “Crusader , published Friday, May 26, was edited solely by the Juniors and Sophomores of the Journalism class. It was supervised by Robert Bogner and Robert Spehn, first page editors; Vincent Mueller, second page; Estil Throckmorton, sports editor; and James Braun, fourth page. Joseph Glauber assumed the duties of circulation manager, with its corresponding responsibilities. Among these Juniors has been found a variety of talent, thus insuring the continuance of the ‘ ' Crusader next year. Page Eighteen MOTHERS’ CLUB Pictured above are the officers, for the past year, of the Cathedral High School Mothers’ Club. Reading from left to right: Mrs. J. Herold, secretary; Mrs. J. Yoellinger, vice-president; Mrs. E. Bogner, treasurer. Standing is, Mrs. R. Nebgen, president for the past two years. The graduating class of 1944 wish to take this, our last opportunity, to thank the Mothers ' Club of Cathedral High School for all of the many benefits we have received from them in our four years at Cathedral. This group of gallant women has steadfastly stood by us, fought for us, and striven in every way to render service to the school in all of its undertakings. In some of the projects undertaken, the Mothers ' Club received little cooperation or encourage ment at first, but, undaunted, they seruggled onward until they had achieved their ultimate goal. The going has not always been easy, but, somehow, they have always managed to come out on top. They have sponsored many activities in their untiring efforts to finance various projects around the school. We can appreciate their work all the more when we stop to realize that they, themselves, gain no personal benefits from their labors. They have donated their time, effort, and sometimes financial back ing, all for the good of the school and the students. One of the main events of the year was the Annual Father Son Banquet, held on the night of November 14. in the CHS. auditorium. This affair was again a huge success, being thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Other highlights of this year ' s pro gram included the Dad ' s Night, held on January 11, the Christmas Party, at which time gifts were distributed; the White Elephant Party, held on Thursday, February 10, and the talk given by an East St. Louis juvenile delinquency officer, concerning the present problems of our youth in America. This has been the Mothers ' Club ' s fifth successful year and it has distinguished itself as one of the most active organizations of the school. Next year ' s club will be under the able guidance of Mrs. Clem Gass, President; Mrs. Erwin Bogner; Vice President; Mrs. Winifrid Reime, Secretary; Mrs. George Renner, Treasurer. We, the Seniors, as well as the rest of the students, wish them every success at tainable in their future programs and sincerely hope that they will receive the whole¬ hearted cooperation given this year ' s President, Mrs. R. Nebgen, and her fellow officers. Page Nineteen SENIOR WILL . . . (Continued) I, ED BAUER, won ' t disgrace anyone with my characteristics.
