All we can say is that the school, classmates, spirit, and faculty will always be treasured memories with which we will never tire ol reminiscing. We only hope that the students who graduate alter 1948 will realize the wonderful advantages which they have received. livtUvuthm Bro. Michael Brangan, S.

Pius XII, the “Pope of Peace”, has a knowledge of world affairs such as none of his predecessors has ever attained. The respect which all nations, Catholic or otherwise, have for him, is definite proof of his abilities. , He believes in keeping the facilities of the Church up-to-date. His short-wave radio is just one of h undreds of examples. I le fully realizes the necessity of staving with the time, but not changing religious conclusions. Another credit to his name. His spirit and energy will always serve as an inspiration to people throughout the world. Our it is lntp Bishop Zurowestb His Excellency, the Most Reverend Bishop Albert Zuroweste, has been welcomed with open arms and smiling hearts by the whole ol his diocese. We realize his interest in education and in youth and are, therefore, delighted to have him as our next-door neighbor. We sincerely hope he will find pleasure in our school, as we have found it, and will favor it in every way possible. We hold our school second to none—that other one notwithstanding! May his years he long and fruitful. As students or graduates of Cathedral we are always at his service. Reverend Fred Renschen, acting-president, has inherited a hig job. Running a large par¬ ish such as the Cathedral is an undertaking in itself, vet, added to all this is the managing of a large grade school and the high school. Continuing the policies of his predecessor, • who had so won the hearts of all. Father Renschen has found a hig job moving smoothly. We all appreciate the good work Father is doing for the high school and sincerely hope he and all the priests will be permitted to remain with us in the years to come. Rev. F. Renschen Principal Bro. William Baer has been at Cathedral lor four years, during which more progress has been made than ever before. Mis ideas as to school management are the best and most successful ones in use today. He is doing the work of five men, and doing it well, which illustrates his powers of concentration and reason. His friendly attitude at all times has won him the respect and admiration of everyone who has had the opportunity to come into contact with him. I le will always remain in our hearts as a primary factor in the success of our high school life. Bro. William Baer, S. M., M. A 10 Fa cult if Bro. Norbert Kramer, S. M. Bro. Alphonse Scherer, S. M.

Uist or IO 44-45 The autumn of 1944 witnessed the debut of the largest class ever to enroll at Cathedral. Seventy-six noisy, green freshmen wandered aimlessly around the class rooms. Although the work was new to us, we nevertheless found it easy to fit into the plans of Brother William Baer, the new principal. Being split into two classes under Brother Norbert Kramer of 1A and Brother Martin McMur¬ trey of 1B, we s(x n found out what the words “spirit meant and finished high in the Spirit Banner drives. On the gridiron, the freshmen gave a hint of the great things to come. 1 he Cathedral “C” team, under the direction ol Brother Martin McMurtrey ended a very successful season, having a record ol seven wins and only two defeats. The hardwood enthusiasts saw the Cathedral “B team gain glory in basket¬ ball. The Cathedral Beezers copped the Catholic League title along with the “B team Citv Championship and ended the season with the remarkable record of 22 wins and only 3 defeats. Jack Juen, Boh Nebgen and Chuck Rice were main stays on the team. Baseball varsitv letters were awarded to Bob Nebgen, I lap Bonn, Jack Juen. Interest in speech work was also prominent, Reis Lee Leming, Marion Reis, Ed Smith and Jim Westermeier worked on interpretation while Bob Erlinger and Dave Emge were in debate. I be Glee Club and Band also gained valuable members from our freshmen group. 1045-46 Now that we knew what the words “work and “spirit meant, we endeavored to give the school all the co-operation we could. Seventy-five enthusiastic sopho¬ mores returned to show what under classmen could do spiritually, scholastically, and athletically. We were again under the tutelage ol Brother Norbert Kramer and Brother Martin McMurtrey ot 2A and 2B respectively. The gridiron was again the scene ol many hardlought battles as Chuck Rice and Jack Juen made regular berths on the varsity. The rest ol the sophomores were acquiring knowledge to be utilized in luture years. In basketball Jack Juen was the only sophomore to find a berth on the var¬ sity, and was a stellar man in both offensive and defensive play. Meanwhile, other sophomores were gaining experience on the “B” team. The Glee Club and Oratory sections of scholastic activity gained important members from the sophomore classes. Bob Nebgen, Joe Zagarski, M. Reis and Dave Battaglia were topflight debaters. Band members included: Don Forness, Bob Nebgen, Jack Juen, Jack Meister, Gus Reis, Phil Bauer, anti Dave Battaglia. The sophomores were high in the spirit of the school under Brother William Baer, and really hustled in the spirit banner drives. Jack Juen, Bob Yeath, Bob Nebgen and Chuck Rice gained letters in varsitv baseball. Senior Will L WAYNE FLESl IREN, will my new 1928 Buick to anyone without any sense.

We were fortunate in having Brother Michael Grangan as moderator of 3 A. I lovvever, during the second semester he was called to Wisconsin and was replaced by Brother Lester Raszkowski. Brother Albert Stein was the able director ol 3B. The Juniors, with many line enthusiasts, went ahead and really showed the school what SPIRIT and WORK meant. Interest in the Sodality took root and ideas were being formed. In time these ideas took our dead Sodality and put it back on a lighting basis. On the gridiron. Chuck Rice, Jack Juen, Joe Gcolat and Dick Kohl gained starting positions on the Crusader eleven. Its record: 5 wins, 2 losses, 2 ties. The basketball season came and Jack Juen, John Rule and Chuck Rice made the team. Jack Juen set a new record for individual scoring. The Crusaders won our lirst City Championship in ten years, and copped an undisputed Catholic League T itle. I he baseball team was a high-spirited outfit, a hustling, fighting club that would never say die. Chuck Rice, Boh Veath, I lap Bonn, Boh Butz, Boh I lan- nan, Don Forness, Boh Nebgen and Jack Juen held down spots on this team. 1947-49 Sixty-two in number we began our senior year, a year we are justly proud o ' , because we can truthfully say it has been our happiest and most successful year at good old CHS. The grand spirit of cooperation which has animated our group is in a large part due to the untiring efforts of our moderators, Bro. Al¬ phonse Scherer and Bro. Michael Brangan. In football we completed an undefeated season, bowling over all opponents, with only a tie with Dupo to mar an otherwise perfect record. The mainstays o ' our team were a highly perfected passing attack and unparalleled teamwork. In other sports, baseball and basketball, the fighting spirit of Cl IS came through time and again to pull victory out of certain defeat. Sodality meetings were streamlined into active discussions. Filial piety to Mary seemed to spur the school into positive Catholic Action. Forums and round-table discussions were started for the first time in Sodality meetings to replace the stereotyped procedure that had been prevelant. The retreat conducted by Father Jordan was received with a seriousness that later was the mainspring in all our religious efforts. Forensics played an important part in the life of our school. Ed Smith and Bob Nebgen both finished high in Elocution. Joe Zagarski was a top-flight debater while Marion Reis placed in Original Oratory.

Organizations In drawing near to the longed-for day of graduation we seem to sit back and reminisce as though we were growing old too soon and quietly admit to ourselves that we sincerely wish we were only beginning our high school days. Our teachers have worked tirelessly to build us into well- formed Christian gentlemen. They have, therefore, seen to it that Cathedral High School afforded us, through many and varied clubs and organizations, every opportunity for the lull development of our spiritual, intellectual and social life. These are the days we are never to lorget! 39 iwvoup Lviulvrs I lomeroom sodality meetings were conducted hv the following pre¬ fects: Dick Kohl, 4A; Chuck Rice, 4B; Rich Kosar, 3A; George I lasen- stab, 3B; Jim Battaglia, 2; Wally Drone, 1A; and Jim Gedda, IB. 1 hese fellows conducted at least one sodality meeting a month in the homerooms, reporting their accomplishments at the general sodality meeting. It was their responsibility to carry out in their homerooms what was decided upon at the meetings of the school sodality, which task they performed with excellent results. Central Committee: Row l : Bob Erlinger, Marian Chairman; Chuck Rice, Eucharistic; Dave Bat¬ taglia, Catholic Action. Row 2: Bob Nebgen, Missions; Jack Juen, Secretary; Dick Kohl, Prefect; Don Forness, Parish Representative. The administrative duties of the individual classes were handled by the students to the right. Through the year they proved themselves to be capable leaders of their classmates. Bob Nebgen was president of 4A, Rudy Novv of 4B, Stan Spehn of 3A, and Bill Sehr of 3B. Jim Amann led the sophomore class, while Wayne Mertens and lorn Holthaus officiated in freshman A and B respectively. 10 Class Prefects: Seated: Richard Kosar, Dick Kohl, Chuck Rice, George Hasenstab. Standing: Jim Bat¬ taglia, Walter Drone, Jim Gedda. Under the able leadership of Prefect Dick Kohl, the Sodality made notable spiritual strides. 1 he Central Committee persevered in keeping things of Cod uppermost in the minds of the students. Various means of creating interest in sodality work were intro¬ duced during the year, with the rount-table proving to be the most effective. Class Presidents: Seated: Stan Spehn, Rudy Novy, Bob Nebgen, Bill Sehr. Standing: Tom Holthaus, Wayne Mertens, Jim Amann. II Retreat Our annual retreat, the religious highpoint of the year, was held under the direction of Father Law¬ rence Jordan, S. M. I leld the early days of December, it served also as a preparation for our patronal feast of the Immaculate Conception. The serious attitude and prayerful silence of these days were a source of much edification to all our fellow students. Father Jordan, a Marianist priest, is Presi¬ dent of Chaminade College, Clayton, Missouri. Very Rev. S. J. Juergens, S. M. The students had the privilege of welcoming to Cathedral the Very Reverend S. J. Juergens, S. M., Superior-General of the Brothers of Mary, who was accompanied by the Verv Reverend Paul Hoffer, S. M. They had just returned from a mission tour of the Far East. Father Juergens addressed the students on the foreign missions, and gave extensive information concerning their condition at present. 1 le urged the students to do their ut most in relief work. Bob Nebgen presented him with a gift of seventy-five dollars on beha’f of the student body. Several of the students took the opportunity of interviewing Father I loffer, and were much impressed by his stories of Catholic Action in France. Rev. L. Jordan, S. M.

Under the expert direction ol Mr. Bernard L. Miller, K. S. G., the hand again completed a year of musical accom¬ plishment. Although comparatively small in number it per¬ formed quite creditably, playing some of the more difficult classical numbers. No one but a band member can appreciate the value of as¬ sociation with good music. We all owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Miller for his untiring efforts in our behalf and to the school administration for providing the band. 47 ; ciub hirst How: J. Gannon, J. Wottowa, R. Nebgen, C.

It provoked a feeling of great joy and a touch of regret at Cathedral. For seventeen years the Bishop labored in the interests of the high school. Through his efforts, Cathedral grew from its very humble beginning to the prominent educational establishment that it is. The interests of the school occupied a place of prominence in his heart. He had long shared with the students, the desire for an adequate gymnasium, but was forced to give this up at his consecration. While we all wish him God’s blessing in his new office, and joy at his op¬ portunity of serving God more fully, we still regret the loss of a faithful bene¬ factor. 50 Left to right : Boh Gregson, Bob Erlinger, Don Forness, Jim Yettke, Chuck Rice, Dave Battaglia, George Gundlach and Joe Sobczak.

I he C rusader, the official organ of Cathedral High, is produced by the students them¬ selves, under the watchful eye of Bro. Michael Brangan, who does not interfere with them unless he sees a real need for it. It is likewise financed by the students through the sale of subscriptions and advertisements. I bus it is entirely a student publication, which offers them full expression of their writing abilities. In former years the Crusader was published by the Journalism class at school, but after that subject was abandoned, the responsibility of getting out a much-wanted school paper was left on the shoulders of a few who were willing to devote their spare time and efforts toward miniature journalism. All in all, it has been a very well-organized and de¬ signed publication. En Smith. Editor In the beginning of the year, when the first issue reached the student body, it was the result of the trial and-error efforts of an inexperienced staff, which dove into the mysteries of journalism for the first time. The staff members learned, the h-rd way, v ' hat it meant to ligure words exactly to the inch, or h ive to eliminate precious lines and paragraphs. After that first issue, they became a little more capable of handling a project with which they were unfamiliar. A school paper most certainly brings out journalistic qualities in boys, and most often the best newsmen were formerly members of a school piper. If this publication can con¬ tinue in the future, many successful newswriters will most assuredly result. .12 Itmlio Drama Seated, left to right: Beatrice Meyer, Betty Jo Igel, Sara Hotnrighausen, Helen Dee Voellinger, Mary Thebus, Dorothy Roberts, and Dolores Carten.

The Radio Workshop of the Academy of Notre Dame presented this year over station WIBV, a weekly fifteen minute program lasting thirteen weeks, which dramatized Louisa M. Alcott’s novel Little Women . Cathedral had an active part in these broadcasts, since five of its students participated. Boh Er¬ linger, Ed Smith, B oh Nebgen, Dave Battaglia, and George Gundlach supplied the male roles. These dramatizations offered excellent opportunities for both schools to develop interest in radio among the students. l assion Students who took part in the Passion Play were: Don Forness, Dick Kohl, George Hasenstab, Bob Nebgen, Jerry Riess, Dave Battaglia, George Gundlach, Marion Reis, and Bob Erlinger. One-Act 1 1 an On April 11, the Belleville Catholic Youth Guild once again sponsored a one-act play contest, which consisted of a play from each parish in town. The winner this year was Cathedral parish, which presented “Peace, It’s Wonder¬ ful”, a one-act comedy. St. 1 lenry’s placed second, and St. I eresa’s, third. Best actor and actress awards went to Marion Reis of Cathedral parish and Mary Burke of St. Henry’s parish. St. Luke’s, St. Mary’s and Blessed Sacrament also staged most enjoyable plays. vUvvanun dub Members of the Letterman Club are f alphabetically: P. Bauer, H. Bonn, D. Daenzer, 1). Erling- er, R.

I he Letterman’s Club again showed itsell to be an active promoter of good sportsmanship this year. Ably led by President Jack Juen and his staff of offi¬ cers, the organization contributed grandly to the sporting interests of Cathedral, as well as the interests of the school as a whole. Boh Nebgen was elected vice-president; Chuck Rice, Secretary, and Dick Kohl, Treasurer. I he high point ol the Club’s accomplishments was reached with the sponsor¬ ship of the annual Football Dance. The club was justified in going all-out for the occasion, which marked the end of the most successful football season in the history of the school. The dance was also the most successful of its kind. I he contribution of which the Letterman’s Club of ’48 will long he remem¬ bered, is however, the wire-recorder. This was purchased with the proceeds of the Football Dance, and student contribution. The whole drive for this impor tant piece of equipment was hacked by the Lettermen, and can lx- regarded as their project. I he club gained in strength of numbers and spirit this year, and lined up to the highest traditions and expectations. Football tfueen Queen Betty Lou Kohl Queen Betty Lou Kohl, attractive sister of Right Tackle Dick Kohl, reigns over the Crusader’s most successful football season in the history of Cathedral sports. Queen Betty Lou’s loyal subjects proudly boast an undefeated season, the possessors of the Catholic League crown and the valiant defenders of another City Championship crown. As successor to Miss Mary Bach, Queen of ’47, Queen Betty Lou was crowned amid the cheers of the entire student body at the annual football dance. Her proud escorts were Co-Captains Chuck Rice and Jack Juen. I he queen was surrounded by a group of very pretty Maids of Honor. The maids and their escorts were: Miss Marilyn E. Miller, escorted by Norm Knapp; Miss Barbara Schulte, escorted by Joe Geolat; Miss Devona Rathke, escorted by Bob Nebgen; Miss Colleen Gass, escorted by Dick Kohl. The dance was a gala affair, entertaining one of the largest crowds of the year. The festivities were indeed appropriate for honoring our Cathedral Champs! 55 n. c. t . Hou Oue: J. Riess, R.

It consists of about four rep¬ resentatives of each parish in Belleville, who are chosen lor their interest and activity in their own parish. I he purpose ol the club is to sponsor dances, contests, and other means of entertainment tor the Catholic students in town. It has offered various dances, skating parties, and the one-act play contest since September, all of which have been very successful. In the future it plans expanding its efforts into other varied intellectual anti spiritual activities. A round-table is planned for the near future. Hi Mother ' s t ' lub Mrs. Frank YVullcr, secretary; Mrs. Hugo Fix, treasurer; Mrs. Roy Smith, president; Mrs. Wm. Juen, vice-president. Under the very active and able guidance of its officers, the Mothers Club has again chalked up another successful year. Never satisfied with past successes, the officers have labored tirelessly to provide additional facilities for the school, in order to make it a better place for the education of their sons. The grand spirit of cooperation which pervades all the Club’s activities, has carried over into all the activities of the school—“As the Mother, so the son.” The Mother’s Club has made our senior year most pleasant, and, we think, successful. Forgetting all personal incon¬ venience, the members have rallied to the call of the officers of this year: Mrs. Roy Smith, president; Mrs. William Juen, vice-president; Mrs. Hugo Fix, treasurer, and Mrs. Frank WuIIer, secretary. Among the many gifts presented to the students were three new sets of encyclopedias for the library—! he Americana, World Book and Compton’s. New gym mats were also purchased by the Mother’s Club. These gifts were procured with funds set aside for the purpose last year. Additional equipment for the speech department and recording machine has been gotten. The Club’s main object for the year has been to arrange for the purchase and installation of a clock system to control all bells for movements throughout the day. It will probably be installed during the summer. The annual affairs sponsored by the Club are: the Freshman-Mother Breakfast; Senior- Mother Breakfast; Father-Son Banquet; Mother-Son Night and the Football Banquet in cooperation with the Knights of Columbus. The students ,and especially the Seniors, are most grateful for the zealous support of the Mother’s Club. We are reminded once again, and very forcefully, of the love we owe our mothers, and our dependence upon them. r � Futhvv-Son Ktunquvl Left to right: Father Renschen, Mr. Richard Carter, Mr. Joseph II.

It moves ahead because it is never fully satisfied with itsell and as a result is not complacent. As long as it is not indifferent we are assured of progress. Brother Bill and his faculty have always shown a personal interest in each ol us. I he Brothers and the priests have really been at our service at any hour ol the dav or night. We are especially grateful to Fathers Renschen, Kuhl and Reeb lor being at our disposal in the confessionals each morning during 1 lolv Mass. 1 heir kind ness and encouragement will he long remembered.

S. 24 — St. Mary’s 0 Hitting hard and often the Crusaders played heads up hall to capitalize on three fumbles which led to touchdowns. A1 Wambergue scored the final touchdown on a pass interception in the last minute of play. The Crusaders took advantage of their weight margin in the line to shake up the St. Louis ball carriers with smashing tackles and create the breaks of the game. Touchdown: Van Gordon, Geolat, Knapp and Warmberguc. C. H. S. 25 — De Andreis 6 Cathedral scored in the first period on a 63-yard march without relinquishing the ball. Norm Knapp took the opening kickoff on the 35 stripe and Hap Bonn worked the ball to the 26 marker. Bonn faded back and arched a pass to Juen who made a nice overhead catch as he crossed into pav-dirt. The Crusaders made a 53-yard drive early in the third period with Knapp going over tackle from the three-yard line. C. H. S. 19 — Central 0 Bonn and Knapp sparked a drive carrying the ball to the Central 23-yard tin . 1 his ended the first period. Juen intercepted a Pioneer pass and took it down to the 20-yard mark. Van Gordon rolled off a 16-yard gain and battered his way through the line for the first score. Co-captain Rice intercepted a pass to set up the next score. With less than tw � minutes remaining in the game, Juen standing in the end zone, rifled a pass to Geolat and the rangv end ran the length of the field and crossed the line. C. H. S. 20 — Chaminade 7 The Crusaders marched from the opening kickoff with Juen returning 25 ycards to the center stripe for a touchdown on 13 plays and three first downs. Bonn carried the ball across through right guard from the one-yard line on the fourth down, and then passed to Bob Kaiser for the extra point. In the last quarter, Juen passed to Geolat in the right flat-zone for the third tally. 65 Football C. H. S. 19 — Dupo 19 Both teams ran over each other time after time, either with snappy passes or hard- charging runs. Cathedral fumbled twice early in the game and the second Dupo recovery on the Crusaders six-yard stripe set the stage for their first touchdown. In the second quarter after Bonn downed a punt on the 1 iger 35, the Crusaders moved to the 11 on runs and passing attacks from Juen to Kaiser. From that point the Crusaders began to score. Cathedral tied up the game in the last two minutes. C. H. S. 25 — Marquette 6 During the second half of the game, after two attempts through the line had failed and the score reading 13-6, Juen again hit Geolat with a toss. He pulled in the hall on his own 30, reversed the fie’d, eluded three Marquette tacklers and rambled over for a touchdown, the play covering 91 yards. A few minutes later, Kaiser received a pass and went 63 yards for the fourth touchdown. C. H. S. 28 — Coyle 0 Two touchdowns in two minutes! After the Coyle kickoff, the Crusaders scored the r first touchdown on three plays, the payoff being a 70 yard aerial from Juen to Geolat. A few minutes later, after Coyle fumbled on attempt kick, Cathedral took over on the opponents 30 yard stripe. Juen went all the way on the next plav. Cathedral blocked a punt on the 35 yard line and from there Knapp went to the goal line. Knapp plunged for the third six-pointer and also bucked across with the extra point. C. II. S. 13 — St. Joseph’s 0 St. Joseph s offered more competition than expected, holding the Crusader’s scoreless in the first half with hard charging plays. St. Josephs punted out to the 48 and there Bonn and Knapp bucked their way to the one-yard line, with “Scotty” Van Gordon plung¬ ing across for the first touchdown. At the end of the third period, Geolat received a pass in the end zone for the second score. Cathedral reserves finished out the game. (ill C. . s. - 14: n. T. . s.-i:t Eleven Cathedral ironmen climaxed one of the best football seasons in the history ol the school by beating the Township Moroons, before a crowd of 5000 fans. The well- earned victory gave the Crusaders their second city championship in 13 annual contests. Cathedral now has two legs on the Rotary bowl. Juen and Geolat broke down field on the first plav of the second period and Bonn put a pass right on the dot. After gaining on the Maroons ground, Scottv Van Gordon broke over the right side for the first touchdown of the game. At the beginning of the third quarter, Cathedral came back with a lightning attack to go out in front for good. Juen passed about ten vards over the center to Geolat and the big end drove all the way to the Township 27 before he was finally hauled down by three tacklcrs. Bonn then faded back before connecting to Juen on the perfectly screened touchdown pass, the first against Township this season. Again it was Bonn who was called on for the important plunge and he came through by bucking over center. The game ended in which each team made twelve first downs, with the Crusaders holding the edge on their passes and playing the Maroons even on the ground. ” Team Football First How: Jim Gedda, Dick Dollus, Don I luhcr, Pat Yoxall, Bill Gaul, Fred Rensing.

I he Crusader C teams have always been taught the true value of sports. 1 hrough early training of young teams, coaches find the faults in their bovs and strive to correct them, thereby raising future champions for the school. The freshmen gridders had gotten off to a bad start by losing their first game to Chaminade, 6-0. They came back to play a home game, defeating De Andreis, 12-0. The T ownship Maroons were too much for them. They were defeated, 26-6. Although green at the starting games of the season, it is certain that these losses will be of benefit to their future games. In a thriller under the lights at Collinsville, the freshies played brilliantly, but lost Wayne Mertens through a broken ankle, and then had time run out on them just as they reached the shadow of the goal posts, leaving them at the short end of an 18-13 score. The Cathedral freshies finished a rugged season by defeating the St. Louis University High School “C” team champs, 19-13. The attack was sparked by the fine play of Gene Sutton, Bill Biekert and Jim Gedda. Bill Gaul and Gene Sutton captained the team.

Bob Kaiser was a forward on the second squad, and Chuck Rice received honor¬ able mention.

In doing just this we find that although they did not have too many opportunities to display their wares, the varsity reserves showed excel¬ lent promise for next year. I wo juniors, Don Daenzer, speedy little forward, and Rich Kosar, tall, reliable guard, who won regular berths on this year’s team, will co-captain the team for next year. They will be ably supported by Bill Sehr, Don Deitz, Roy Smith, Ed Klein, Gordy Roth, and another regular, Bob Kaiser. Others will join them from the sophomore group to give Cl IS another top-notch team. 71 Y ‘ Team Ituslsvlhull Sitting: F. Geolat, C. Oelrich, L. Kosar, F. Hensing. Standing: A. Bauer, J. Schmidt, H.

The squad, which consists of four returning lettcrmen, has shown the wav to newcomers, with hopes of keeping up the tradi¬ tion of their school in future years. The team is made up of Captain Bob Erlinger, Jack Wuller, Rich Kosar, Ray Wuller, Larry Kosar and Norman Allen. They are using the Westhaven course for practice sessions this year just as they have done in the past. This is all made possible through the kindness of Mr. Buesch. The team will miss the splendid scores of last year’s Captain Bob Kosar and the smooth coaching of Clete Idoux, who are both attending St. Marys University, San Antonio. But Cathedral must carry on. The squad is entered in the District Tourney at Ccntralia on Mav 8.

Whether in rain or shine, in success or failure the combination of all three ingredients has spelled victory for a valiant combination of Crusaders. We succeed with success! And much of it is due to the courageous spirit and the never-never-die efforts of our Cheerleaders. Hats off to the very devoted members of the ’48 club: Marilyn E. Miller, Devona Rathke, Don Forness, “Skip” Lanter, Roger Von Bokel, and Ralph Fleshren. Truly, they deserve all credit for their untiring efforts in leading the teams, with their cheers, to many a victory. The players themselves admit that the cheering of the spectators in the stands puts that extra “something” into their bl(x d, without which victory is at a loss. Cheers also make the game more exciting for enthusiastic fans and it makes them feel good to know they are helping the team along. Manv-a-time the regular cheering squad was sparked with the efforts of the alumni cheerleaders, especially Kennv Faust and Flovd Powell. Prospective cheerleaders for the coming vear hxik very promising so we look forward to another banner year of topnotch cheerleading.
