. 7 4e GnMA Aen, CATHEDRAL HIGH SCHOOL BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS VOLUME XX s we entered high school four years ago as freshmen, we were small and afraid; as sophomores, we suddenly became smart, we knew all the answers; as juniors, we began to realize whv we came to Cathedral; and finally, as seniors, we became men. VVe are now going out to enact the drama ol life — to determine whether we are to follow the world and end up in eternal damnation, or to follow God and end up in everlasting happiness. IdJe embrace a ±tate Just as a country must have its govern¬ ment and a church must have its religious societies, so also must the Catholic schools have their sodalities. The sociality at Cathe¬ dral Furnishes the spiritual guidance lor the students throughout the year. More specifi¬ cally, its purpose is to promote special devo¬ tion to Mary, the Mother of God and the patroness of the Society ol Mary. General meetings were held usually once a month, while individual class meetings convened from one to four times a month. Father 1 rawalter served as school sociality chaplain and his timely remarks at the as¬ semblies kept the students on their toes in the constant war with evil. The sociality served many purposes. It was the rain which made the seed of faith grow in the student; it was the sunlight which made the student s devotion to Mary come into full bloom; it was the soap which washed out the cobwebs of indifference in the stud¬ ent s soul; it was the food which made the spirituality of the student grow in the eyes of God; it was the medicine which helped cure the student of the sickness of sin; it was the pathfinder which blazed a clear trail through the forest of materialism and worldliness. rhe sodality served to bring the students into closer contact with God and 11 is Blessed Mother. Many worthwhile suggestions of sodality leaders were heeded, particularly during the Lenten season. One of the prin cipal projects of the students was making the Holy Year Pilgrimage in order to obtain a plenary indulgence. Throughout the year the sodality achieved its purpose well. An active interest is taken in foreign missions by Cathedral students. Col¬ lections are regularly made in each class, and the money eventually helps the missions in foreign countries. The schcx)l as a whole collected over 350 dollars during the year with the junior classes showing unusual leadership in this respect. Similar collections were also made during February and March for the Bishops Relief Fund. Cathedralites also participated in church activities during the year out of devotion to God and His Blessed Mother. Going to church during the noon hour to pray the rosary was the pet project of the juniors. For the three days preceding Lent, Cathe¬ dral students attended church every afternoon while 40 hours’ devotion was held. And during Lent Cathedral boys were present for the Stations every Friday afternoon. The parish representative, who re¬ ceives little publicity around school, nevertheless deserves credit for the important little job he performs. I le is the one who must take all the report cards of the students in his parish and show them to his pastor, and then bring them back to school and distribute them to the students. The respective PR’s this year were: Fred Rensing, S t. Teresa’s; A1 Bauer, St. Luke’s; Bob Sax, Cathedral; Dick Arnold, St. Mary’s; Bill Thomas, St. Henry’s; and Pat Yoxall, Blessed Sacrament. 5 ' M+ideSi . . . Since the Central Committee must furnish leadership for the school soda¬ lity, spiritual guidance for the indivi¬ dual homerooms must come from the class officers and particularly the class prefects. It is their duty to conduct class sodality meetings and make a report at general sodality meetings. The bovs elected lor these positions were: Norm Meder, Sam Kocurek, Wayne Lanter, Wally Amann, Jake Lippert, Bill Miller, Boh Schrag, and Joe Schwaegel. Wally Drone, prefect; Norm Med¬ er, secretary; John Schmidt, Euchar¬ istic chairman; Bill Gaul, Marian chairman; Ben Rice, Catholic action chairman; Jim Gedda, mission chair¬ man; Gene Sutton, parish representa¬ tive. These were the bovs who com¬ prised the Central Committee. All of them showed their leadership bv their participation in other activities around school. They were the team which combined its efforts to give Cathedral s sodality another successful year. Father Sullivan, the retreat-master, has been a priest for only twelve years and has been preaching retreats for only eight years, and yet he is widely known, particularly in the midwest section of the country. He more than lived up to the high standards expected of Cathedral retreat-masters. His clev¬ erness, wisdom, and clear understand¬ ing of youth’s problems provided the students with plenty of food for thought during the retreat. 6 . . . tku fL io.tectia t Coinciding with the novena preceding the feast of the Immaculate Conception was Cathedral’s annual retreat. Certainly, the retreat this year came at a very opportune time, coming during a period when the fighting in Korea was reaching a peak. 1 his was one of the principal reasons the novena in honor of Mary was being held in the Cathedral. The general situation provided a perfect atmosphere lor the students to en¬ gage themselves with serious thoughts and deep meditation about God in their lives. The retreat was held on December tilth, sixth, and seventh, just prior to the feast of the Immaculte Conception. Realizing that the success of a retreat depends heavily on the retreat master, an able priest was sought and found in Rev. A. J. Sullivan, O.M.I. His sharp wit and pointed discussions ol the individual topics were no small factors in contributing to the student s whole-hearted acceptance ot him. Each of the conferences left the student with something to think about. Many ideas were mentioned during the lectures, hut briefly, the important topics were these: the power that prayer has with our Blessed Mother and with God; and the extreme importance ol keeping a tight bond among families everywhere. 1 he materialistic ideas of the world today have served to break up many homes. Father Sullivan stressed the fact that nations are on the brink ol disaster because of the deterioration of family lile. The climax to the activities came on the last day, when the freshmen were entered into the sodality ol the Blessed Mother.

It consisted solely of the vocally-in¬ clined members of this year’s senior class. Due to the fact that the singers had been promptly informed, they already had a month’s practice before the close of last year. Thus they need¬ ed little help or direction in their vocalizing, and therefore started chant¬ ing the Mass on the first dav of School. In December a choir was formed to sing at the Bishop’s low Masses on Christmas. This also consisted prin¬ cipals of members of the senior choir with a few extra members. Professor Bernard L. Miller Q(tided by tluj, litepiield The Most Reverend Bishop Albert R. Zuroweste since becoming the Bishop of the Belleville Diocese has shown great interest in the youth of the diocese and especially Cathedral by bis many visits here. Bishop Zuroweste has become more and more in¬ terested in the youth under his care. 1 le has organized different clubs and groups that will help the youth spiritually as well as physically and also has given his authoriza¬ tion to any other club that will help the youth of today. Bishop Zuroweste has guided the high schools of the diocese and has enjoyed the fullest degree of esteem and co-operation from the faculty and students of Cathedral 1 ligh. As students and graduates of Cathedr al we will always render our services to our Bishop faithfully. We hope that our examples will always be of Catholic young men anil that our Bishop may always lx? pleased with us. Interested also in publishing, he is the director of the official weekly ol the diocese. The Messenger. I le also promotes the various Catholic school papers and yearbooks through¬ out this vicinity because these publications contribute to the spread of the word of Christ. His Excellency. The Most Reverend Bishop of Belleville, Albert R. Zuroweste. Bishop Zuroweste has insti¬ tuted much rebuilding in the community. St. John s Orphan¬ age Campaign and a new Cen- tral Catholic High arc but two of the results of his zeal. All in all there are thirty building projects planned in the diocese. Rt. Rev. Msg r.

Gerard Busch, S.M. lAJe defended in debate On the morning of October 18, a solemn Pontifical Low Mass was celebrated starting the opening of Youth Day. About 1500 students attended the mass and then marched to the Turner I lall for the events to follow. I he highlight of the day was a debate between the students of Cathedral and Notre Dame. I he topic discussed was, “The City is more conductive to Christian Family Life.” Representing the two schools were, lor Cathedral: Wally Drone, Bill Thebus, and Norm Meder; for Notre Dame: Joan Sullivan, Babs Ann Bowe, and Anna Beth Davis. The Cathedralites took an easy de¬ cision over the girls of Notre Dame. Cathedral also showed its spirit in other ways at the convention. Cathedral bovs helped out as messengers, ushers, and servers for attending hierarchy and clergv members. Needless to say, the conference was a big success. 10 ISHSPA CONVENTIONEERS: Jim Moson, Wally Drone, Pat Yoxall, Bill Thebus, Yvonne Arnold, Bob Jaeckel, Mary C.

Annually the Illinois State High School Press Association extends an invitation to all its members to attend its press convention in Champaign llrbana on the campus ol Illinois University. Ten journalists representing both Cathe¬ dral and Notre Dame under the direction ol Brother Michael Brangan attended the various lectures and conferences. 1 hey were Bill Thebus, Pat Yoxall, Paul Meister, Wally Drone, Bob Semmelroth, Dave Smith, Jim Mason, Bob Yaeckel, Yvonne Arnold, and Marv C. Siekmann. The functions lasting from the 13th to the 14th of October were held in Gregory llall. During the first assembly Bill Thebus, editor of the school paper, presented his views on plans to increase circulation when a round table discussion on the topic was introduced. Another prominent member of the delegation, Paul Meister, served as of¬ ficial photographer lor the entire proceedings. But the get-together is not all learning. On Friday the 13th, after a hard day in the classrooms, the ISHSPA held the rollicking fun fest. A lively band and livelier comedians provided entertainment for all present. All sorts ol mixers and games were introduced. The next day, Saturday, lectures lasted until 11:0() a.m. when the final assembly was called during which the officers were elected for the coming vear. 11 Boh Arndt, Charlie Prindable, and I Icn rv I laas were the circulation managers lor the schcx)l paper, and were in charge of mailing all issues of the paper. The success of the Crusader depended upon promptness, accuracy, and the re¬ source! uIIness of its staff members. Pic¬ tured here is Roger Gansmann in an in¬ terview with Bro. Theodore I loeffken, Marianist inspector of schools. I Iere’s one good way to make money. Wally Drone and Bob Semmelroth sold hot dogs daily at noon in the school base¬ ment.

Many occasions found the yearbook and paper editors working side by side, dis¬ cussing problems common to both publica¬ tions. Serving as Editor-in-Chief of the paper is Bill Thehus, a member ol Senior A. While serving as editor of the entire publication, Bill’s chief problem is the front page. The paper occupies much ol his time, but he still holds down an after-school job as lilting station attendant. The second page comes under the capable management ol Wally Drone, Feature Editor. Wallv lias put many a good editorial in Ins lour years as a member of the staff. He has helped the paper along financially by origin¬ ating the selling of hot dogs during noon- hour. Norm Meder reigns over the third page, under the official title of Spirts Editor. Norm is very interested in spirts, serving as co-cap¬ tain of the Crusaders on the diamond, and is one of the leaders in the C.H.S. Bowling League. Norm’s size keeps him from football and basketball but he keeps up with the games through his writings on the sports page under the title of Norm’s News. The Sports Editor has a lot of difficulties with deadlines because of the necessity of covering last minute games. The Management Editor, Bob Semmelroth, finds the fourth page occupying most ol his time, f fe is usually scurrying around, hunting up small bits of news to fill in the empty spaces here and there.

Reca ' idL+uj, the dleedli Brother Michael, who splits his activities between teaching wild high school pupils and mild mannered journalists, is the brains be¬ hind every publication of Cathedral high. Brother also is the chief librarian of the school in his spare time. As class historians this year Wayne Mert- ens, Wayne PHugmacher, Wayne Knapp, and Joe Stock dug way back to the old days back in 1947 when the senior class was • just starting as timid green frosh. Paul Meistcr who has been snapping pic¬ tures around C.1I.S. ever since his freshman year outdid himself this year taking all the pictures and printing them right on schedule. Bill Gaul and Norm Meder took over the job ol planning the pictures and arranging them for Paul. The boys behind the yearbook subscription drive this year were Cliff Laquet, Roger Gansmann, and Mel Lucash. With their forceful sales talks they sold the 200 copies available in record time. The same three who were in charge of subscriptions also were appointed to tend to the hard work of distributing our ‘‘best sell¬ ers hot off the press. Ben Rice, our sports editor, turned in the best sports section ever published in the “Crusader.” Ben has had lots of experience, serving on the school paper staff for three years. I le really brought out his journalistic talents in various writing contests. Getting honorable mention during the Marianist Cen- tenial Contest and winning first place in the local T.B. Contest. Evening in Journalism Class Photography Editors Circulation Managers Class Historians ajj thy, wawiiosiA, Occupying the office of editor-in-chief, Pat Yox- all has drawn the toughest job on the staff. He can be seen buzzing up to the printers every night in his yellow Model-A Roadster. Business manager Tom 1 lolthaus received the tedious job of gathering up all the advertising ac¬ counts, taking them to the printers, proof-reading them, and linally paying all the bills. No publication could even get past the editor’s head without this all important person. Last but not least is the social editor. Dick Gold kamp ably assisted by Fred Rensing did all the writing in the book except the sports sections, which is quite a piece of work.

The Belleville Catholic Youth Guild has now completed one of its most successful years. It has been in existence for the past four years. It has given the Belleville Cath¬ olic Youth g(X) d Catholic entertainment and recreation. The B.C.Y.G. consists of four representatives of each parish in Belleville, two hovs and two girls who are chosen by their parish. These hovs and girls must be from Cathedral and Notre Dame. The aim of the organization is to provide wholesome Christian entertainment for the young people of the area. This aim is achieved by sponsoring numerous and varied types of entertainment including dances, skating parties, picnics, and discussions. The outstanding activities of the club are the Easter Dance, at w hich the all Catholic Bov and Girl and Easter King and Queen are elected, and the One Act Play contest. This spirited organization is under the OtofOtUfyi+Uj, care of Father Kuhl who is assistant pastor at St. Peter’s Cathedral. Father’s interest in Belleville youth prompts him to devote most of his time planning and promoting the dif¬ ferent a ctivities so as to give the wholesome recreation for the Catholic teen-agers. Father Kuhl through his most untiring efforts has won for himself the title of the “Don Bosco oi Belleville.” At the completion of its fourth successful year the B.C.Y.G. plans for the future well being of the Catholic youth of the area.

After the Chaminade game on January 30, the annual “C” Mens Night was held. Manv of the J alumni were present as their thoughts strayed back to the time they played for Cathe¬ dral. The members of the club furnished the food by means of a pot luck. The food was served by some of the mothers. It proved to be a very interesting and enter¬ taining evening.

Giow-tUny oul loyalty On the night of November 22, 1950, one dav before Thanksgiving, the seventh annual football dance of Cathedral I ligh became the highlight of the week and the talk ol the town. The dance, sponsored by the Letter- men’s Club, was the first of a long succession ol similar social events held at the Cathedral gym on South Third Street. With festivities scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m., the crowd started coming slowly at first. At about 8:15 the tempo began to increase, and by 8:30 the boys and girls started pouring in en masse. The crowd soon swelled into one of the largest gatherings ever attending at a football dance. 1 his was particularly evident Irom the lact that so many votes were cast lor the football queen. Finally, at about 10:15, the dancing came to a halt, and the four Maids of 1 lonor were announced to the crowd. I hey were: Dorothy Poniske and her escort, Wayne Knapp; Pat Wiesen and her escort, Norm Allen; Helen Mae Zinck and her escort, Fred Rensing; and Marian Kassebaum and her escort, Jim Gedda. And then, wi th all eyes glued on the rear door, Queen Bobbie McBride made her grand entrance with escorts Bill Gaul and Gene Sutton, co-cap¬ tains of the football team. Miss McBride continues the reign ol Irish queens, succeeding Jackie McClane and her sister, Bobbie McClane, who also attended this year’s dance. Approximately at 11:30, the activities came to an all-too-abrupt finish. But from the satisfied smiles seen everywhere, it was evident that the dance had been a big success. 18 St •- bibp,lcuf,inxj, O-USl talent In the process of this year’s talent show guitars” the famed Mountain Dew Boys re- the school discovered a magician in senior turned to present their pantomime of ' Temp- Bill Thchus.

The Mother’s Club, a priceless organization at school, has almost become a necessity at Cathedral. Its work is limited neither by time nor by the amount of effort it must put out. 1 lolding its meetings on the second Thurs¬ day of every month, the club completed an¬ other successful year under the direction ol officers: Mrs. Elmer Arey, president; Mrs. Joseph Igel, vice-president; Mrs. Roland Junker, secretary; and Mrs. Teresa Miller, treasurer. The continually increasing attend¬ ance at meetings this year was not tcx) sur¬ prising, in view of the ever-rising interest being taken in the Club. The benefits which the school derived from the Mother’s Club were far t x many to mention. Notably, however, the club pur¬ chased a new movie projector for the school, which was lirst used on Mother-Son night. Besides this, the club made possible the Freshman-Mother Breakfast; it served the breakfast on the third day of Cathedral’s retreat; it provided entertainment and a pot- luck supper for the bovs on Mother-Son Night; it prepared the dinner for the Father- Son Banquet; it served the breakfast at the Mother-Senior Breakfast; and last, but not least, it was the Mother’s Club which made a success of the Senior Prom. Words could never express the vote of thanks which we owe to the mothers in the organization. Unfortunately, as is the case with many other things, we seem to have taken them for granted. Now, as seniors, we begin to realize the true value of their ef¬ forts and we wish to extend our grateful thanks to them lor all they have done. Mrs. Miller, treasurer; Mrs. Arey, president; Mrs. Igel, vice-president; and Mrs. Junker, secretary. MEMBERS: Bill Gaul, Me! lucash, Wayne Mertens, Gene Sutton, Fred Rensing, Paul Friederich, Ben Rice, Tom Holthaus, Bob Arndt, Rich Gundlach, Bill Siekmann, Paul Meister, and Pat Yoxall. We the tea The Senior Glee Club was the group which continued the tradition at Cathedral ot having a separate singing organization at school every year. Usually, in past years the club was composed of members from any class in school. But since there was no regular Glee Club this year, a group of seniors were banded together to form their own club. Another deviation from the ordinary se¬ quence of events was the fact that Brother Michael Brangan t(x k charge of the club this year instead of Father Trawalter. Where Bro. Michael found time to do this presents quite a problem, because he also had library duties, journalism meetings, paper staff and annual staff meetings, and other obligations. The members of the group were greatly in debted to him for his able direction and support of their efforts. The group had only a few chances to display their vocal talents. The first came at the Mardi Gras celebration, an event which was held in night club style. The Senior Glee Club was one of the groups performing in the “floor show as they sang several popular songs. Then, at the annual Easter Dance, they again gave their rendition of several popular melodies. 23 •ujjnjsudjpnw uojjo 6uipuoi$ apug yV aiqqog puo ' uasajM l°d ' tunoqassD)( uouow -Gui aeuy : Sd3QV31d33HD jnoX otp ino q8nojqi aijuAoj jioiji .io| sjoaxojjoj jopnsoQ oip pun ’S ' H’3 1° lul 1 i oip tpoq jo s junip oqi A 6jp oaij jjy uisnisnipuo pun wiijnuos -jod ‘jnouinjS ui sjji8 otp qoiniu 01 Suiaji jo tjol ssopjunip oqi A ojp ‘uumsuivpnjY uojjn V P ul xni n °!PPH ‘JOHiinb otp jo sAoq omj otjj 0561 JO uoonb jjnqiooj oqi joj soinpipuno sn tuotp poinuiuiou tunoi (|ixpcK)| oqi ‘uoddns Sumitin jiotp joj s unqi jioqi oqs 01 Aba jnioods n sy -suojp jpip ui jnjoonj8 pun 0|i8n ajoa ojoa qy sdboo oqi jo sjoqunui p;8 oojqi otp ojoa opugoj oiqqog pun ‘uosoiyy in ( j ‘tunnqossn | uouiqy 1S(XKJ BJJXO ui? tunoi oqi oab8 Ajpoiqnopun sjopnsruQ oqi jo sjowojjoj Dip Aq uisnisnipuo jo A oqs limiS siij | sjno osotp uo jjo UA oqs ojoa oqntti 01 sXnp jooi qoitpw sjojsoj pjo8 pun onjq ui poiuind pun pauiuiui ‘sjbo poinaoo -op X|An8 ui jo ‘iooj uo uoiqsnj Apopjo ui jotpio 4 ixou ouino sjooqos q8iq oijoqin qioq jo siuopm -sjoAnjd pun sjopnopooqo oqi Xq powojjoj optund oqi poj punq S 11 O oq | pjoy opojqiy otp 01 louisip UA oiUA op otp qnnojip sjoXnjd jno popnjnd sojqiuoAuoo a ou Xuiqs unoX oqi jo Suiqwjopun isoSjnj otp snA 4 oiun8 jjnqiooj isjij oqi popooojd qoiqw ‘Xjjnj dod pun optund oqqnd y siuoao ouioq uiojj-Anvu! puoun 01 joao sjoqtunu isoSjtq oqi jo otuos joj ojqisuodsoj XjoSjnj ojoa Xoq | osoj jo uia ‘sjopnsruQ otp puiqoq ojoav oaij jnXoj osoqi ‘jnjpoqin in iuoao opo|qin |nuij oip jijun Ajpu dod pojuopoo -ojdun oqj pojoouiSuo Aoqj uoqA uosnos [jnqiooj oip jo unis oip uiojj qooqos oqi luosojdoj oi joao sjopnojjooqo ajoij isoui oip Aq pojninoj snA jnjpoqinj in jcoA siqj f ' aovoj w TfY 0 }] to cheeA Led by explosive cheer¬ leaders the throng of Cathe¬ dral followers filled the Ath¬ letic field with thunderous veils as a preview of what they would do and did at our major athletic events. Spectators gasped as the age-old spirit of C.H.S., the crusader, appeared on the back of a definitely modern steed. Underneath this rough exterior amiable I om Clas¬ sen, a well liked senior, up¬ held the glory of the school. Beaming happily from the rear of shiny convertibles, the 1950 football squad was borne triumphantly front Cathedral I ligh around the square to the athletic field where, parked in the middle of the diamond, they received a hearty ovation from loyal followers. Leading the warm-ups, signal drills, and scrimmages, football co-captains Gene Sutton and Bill Gaul, who made up one half of our hack-field, kept the injury ridden team from floundering with their snappy example and initiative. Dribble, set, shoot was the pattern ol attack put out by our “dead-eye” guards Bill Siekmann and John Schmidt. Leading the cagers to snatch the Dupo Consolation Trophy, they proved what fine co-captains they are. Able men Peppy, fast red-hot describe per¬ fectly the hitting and fielding of baseball co-captains Jim Gedda and Norm Meder. Covering two thirds of the outfield Jim and Norm set a pace that kept the team on its toes to follow. 28 led o-u i team . • • • Three leaders with personality and friend¬ liness, have endowed Cathedral with the best coaching stall in the sector. 1 hese three combine excellent athletic training with the realization of our final goal and the import¬ ance of prayer in the winning of games. Brother Alphonse Scherer, undoubtedly the best football coach ever to lead a gridiron squad at C.H.S., instills his vigorous light¬ ing spirit into each Crusader. No room exists on one of his teams for a player who does not give his all during every minute ol play. Under heavy handicap during the past season because of multiple injuries to the team, Brother A1 succeeded in keeping the spirit high even through some of the more hitter losses. A great favorite with all the players is Brother Francis I laug, who ably assisted Bro. Alphonse and handled the team alone during the latter’s two weeks absence. As a basketball coach, Brother Francis has shown how he can transmit his lull knowledge of the game to his players. A former star high school basketball player, himseli, he has proved himself an even more capable coach, mainly because he has supplemented un¬ equaled friendliness with the ability to keep the respect ol everyone. Brother 1 lenry Collins is undoubtedly the busiest of our trio. Besides shouldering the full time job ol Athletic Director, which engages making schedules, obtaining trans portation, handling financial affairs, and buying new equipment, he also coached “B team football and basketball and varsity base¬ ball. The baseball squad promised to become a power under his guidance. To all three of the above the students at Cathedral and especially the graduating Seniors wish to express their thanks lor giving so much of their time in order that sports might prosper at Cathedral. Brother Henry Collins, Brother Francis Haug, and Brother Alphonse Scherer. IS __ 1 i--s i .1. Rensino, J. Mon ken, S. Kocurck, B. I kiv. . Sutton. Second Row : . Mortens, 1 . Arev. J. Miotke, B.

Fred Rensing, our right tackle, earned a berth on the Cath¬ olic League All-Star team. Wayne Mertens, little but fiery guard, was named on the second as was halfback “Baby” Jim Gedda. Co-captain Gene Sutton merited honorable mention. Others who received no public mention but nevertheless deserve credit include Co¬ captain Bill Gaul who demonstrated his fine team spirit by his voluntary shift to fullback. Very often Bill had to fill in at quarterback because of injuries to another key man, Bill Siekmann, regular signal caller and a three year letterman in football. 32 to the emit team, especially the backfield showed power, as they grounded out 15 first downs to 6 for the visitors. More prestige was won back at Dupo as the result of 6-6 tie with the Tigers. Losing by a touchdown through three quarters, the Crusaders tied the game mid-way through the final period on a forty yard Sutton to Siekmann pass. A disappointing 24-7 defeat at the hands of underdog Mercy followed this thrilling and well-played game. In perhaps their best played game of the season the Crusaders lost the city champion¬ ship after a bitter battle with the Belleville Maroons. The Maroons broke the game wide open in the last seven minutes with three long desperation passes and pulled away to a convincing 33-7 triumph. One of the hardest fought games of the season saw a superior Cathedral team bow to St. Joseph 6-0. A natural let-down follow¬ ing these two defeats came in the form of a humiliating 49-7 loss to the powerful Marquette team. The Crusaders capped the season by salvaging a victory over Coyle, winning by 13-7. Being handicapped by injuries throughout die season hut never losing the fight and spark, was the outstanding characteristic of the Crusader eleven of 1950. The Catholic League Championship slipped away for the first time in five years but the squad was soundly trounced by only one league op¬ ponent—that being Marquette who tied St. Joseph for first place. Cathedral finished fourth behind Mercy and ahead of Chami- nade and Coyle. Opening the 1950 football season the Blue and Gold lost their first three games to heavier and more experienced opponents. Speedy backs from Vern Winter’s St. Mary’s eleven proved the downfall in an 18-7 loss to the Dragons in the opener. In a bruising battle in which three Crusaders went to the hospital, a rough and tough De Andreis squad won by the lop-sided score of 39-7. The Pioneers of Central Catholic completed the trio of early losses with a 13-0 verdict in the Orphanage Bowl. Bouncing back with a powerful display in their first league encounter the Cathcdral- ites whipped Chaminade 13-0. The entire tfa e t iaiitedt fan the fatune To build football players for the future is the aim of a freshman football team. The gridiron squad of ’50 gave evidence that with seasoning it could develop into a well bal¬ anced team in the future. Concentrating . mostly on fundamental varsity plays, the squad won two out of seven games but were beaten convincingly in only three of the five losses. The team showed early in the season that they had already captured the Crusader lighting spirit. The starting line for the young Crusaders saw S. Caponi, T. Loeklar, J. Cernecka, R. Schobert, W. Bach, A. Wasser, and G. Mon ken bowling over opponents from end to end. The backfield, of which much is expected because of its size and speed, was composed of J. Van I louten, J. Buss, D. Wuerz, and P. Gagne. Substitutes, all of whom saw considerable action were R. Agne, J. Arey, R. Giedeman, J. Long, F. Schaefer, R. Wilbret, L. West, W. Farrow, G. I leet, G. Krupp, L. Mahlman, and J. Raab. The frosh schedule opened with a heart¬ breaking 6-0 loss to Lansdovvne Junior High followed by a 13-7 triumph over Central Catholic. In the little eitv title championship, the township Maroons outscored and out¬ played hut did not outfight the C.H.S. team. A lone touchdown by Jack Buss could not stem the tide, the final score being 24-7. Three defeats followed at the hands of Col¬ linsville, C.B.C., and DuBourg. In the last game of the season against St. Mary’s, Glenn Monken scored late in the fourth quarter to give the squad a 6-0 win. Front Row: R. Wilbret, D. Wuerz, R. Schobert, J. Raab, J. Arey, J.

Co-captains Bill Siekmann and Johnny Schmidt along with Wayne Pllugmacher and Cliff Laquet will be sorely missed in the 1952 season. Siek¬ mann was named on the All-star team while Schmidt, “Pflugie ’ and Lanter were given honorable mention. 1 ligh scorer during the past season was Junior center Wayne Lanter with an even 300.

Sw-idAinXj, the mt Blowing hot and cold throughout the season the Crusader quintet oF ’51 was able to notch only nine wins as against 16 losses. Catholic League action saw them at one time Fight For the lead and then trail oil sadly to a resultant Fourth place Finish with Five wins and seven losses. The only bright spot ol the rather dismal season was the third place Finish experienced at the Dupo Invitational Tournament where the latent power oF the team and great possibilities ol the Five came into vogue. OF the Five wins in the league, two were over sixth place St. Francis, one over the second place Mercy Five, one over St. Joseph which Finished Fourth and one over last place Coyle. The only teams to score two victories over the Blue and Gold in league play, were the league leading St. Peter’s team and third place Chaminade. Non-league play Found the squad breaking into the win column in four out ol eight games. Two ol the defeats were avenged in the Dupo Tournament when the squad won over Central Catholic simultaneous with taking the third place trophy. Previously in the tournament, Junior center Wayne Lanter had set a new scoring record of thirty points. Especially disappointing were the City Championship and Regional Tournament games in which Township Furnished the opposition. The Crusaders were given an even chance to cop the city championship hut were beaten handily 73-53. In the return engagement the squad blew a lead, held to the last two minutes, and lost their linal game ol the season 56-48. W. Pflugmacher W. Lanter B. Siekmann J. Schmidt A. Mahlman cJze it away!

Jdacdiincj, into- tama cua Gaining the co-championship in the Junior edition of the Catholic League, the “B” basketball team ended the season with an impressive 9-3 record and a seasons record of 11-10. The only team to defeat the Beez- ers twice in league play was third place Chaminade. The only other league opponent to turn the trick was co-champion St. Joseph. The squad consisted of ten sophomores and eight freshmen. The first five was made up of Paul Birk, Rich Klapp, Joe Orlet, Gary Lanter, and Bill Miller, all sophomores. Ex¬ ceptional abilitv was shown by Birk, a for¬ ward, who gained experience with the varsity near the close of the season and Bill Miller, a guard, who sparked the team throughout the year with his outcourt shooting and dribbling ability. Birk ended the season with 125 points while Miller had 117 counters. Also contributing healthy amounts to the scoring were Klapp with 104 and Lanter with 104 points. The young Crusaders entered the Sparta tournament where they met the eventual winner in the first round and were trounced badlv. The preview of the city championship of 1953 resulted in a 50-23 win for the Belleville team. 38 Qma ' ilii+Uf, Uiti . . . Laditinc d xihed. Seeking to salvage some prestige in ath letics in the Catholic League, the Crusaders of the diamond went into the season with high hopes for a successful season. Eight lettermen bolstered the squad and many lirst year men fought these lettermen lor coveted positions. Co-captains Jim Gedda and Norm Meder filled in at two of the outfield posts while the other was alternated between a various assortment of players. An all lettermen infield of Rog Reno, John McAteer, John Schmidt, and Don Huber ran into trouble as they were given serious competition Irom such able players as Bruce Tillotson, Bob Jaeckel, and Bob Hejfrich. Catching duties were borne by Bill Fenoughty and Dick Arnold. On the mound, Bill Siekmann and Gene Sutton returned and were assisted by Clift Laquet, Tom Budde and Warren Mucken sturm. When Brother 1 lenry Collins came to Cathedral from St. Mary’s to head the diamond squad at C.l l.S. he inherited a team which his predecessor, Brother Norbcrt Grass, had spent two years in moulding into a veteran outfit. Ever since their sophomore year, many of these Crusaders had played together. Certainly they helped to constitute one of the most veteran teams ever to re¬ present C.l l.S. in an athletic event. A word of compliment is due Brother I lenry for the method in which he handled the totally strange squad. 1 lis keen knowledge of baseball was shown very vividly. Although baseball does not have the attrac¬ tion at Cathedral that the other two major sports do, nevertheless, the Crusaders of ’51 fought down to the last out because they realized that they were representing a great school with a reputation for being fighters.

Each weekend, ten seniors, five j un¬ iors, and five sophomores matched their tal¬ ents and vied for honors in the Cathedral High School Handicap League. The top team in the league was the senior team, sponsored bv the Rust Contractors, who finished the season with 42 wins and 21 losses. Second place was captured by the other senior team sponsored by Agnes Pteil Cleaners. Their record was 36 wins and 27 losses. The junior team finished third with 26 wins and 37 losses. Martin Mank’s popular grocery sponsored these juniors. In last place was the H W Sales team with 22 wins and 47 losses. This squad was made up ol members of the sophomore class. A beautiful trophy was presented at the close of the sea¬ son to the winning senior team. Although they finished second, the Agnes Pfeil Cleaners grabbed high totals in team average and high single. Their average was 687 and their high single fell nine pins short of a thousand with 991. Surprisingly enough, the tail-end I l W Sales team had the high team series with 2791 pins. All individual records were held by lour seniors. The high three in series total were closely bunched within a range ol three pins. Bob Sax had 527; Cliff Laquet, 525; and Pete Rust netted 524. High single also went to Sax, with 221. Rust and Laquet changed positions, here, with Rust finishing with a high single ol 209 and Laquet had 204. Cliff proved to be the steadiest bowler in the league with a high average of 153. Tied for second were Dick Arnold and Pete Rust, both with a 147 count. At the beginning of the year, members of the league chose officers to carrv out the bus- iness and financial end of the league. Those who served as officers were Bob Sax, presi¬ dent; Norm Meder, secretary; and Chuck Prindable, treasurer. The teams all deserve much credit lor their showing throughout the year. The mar¬ gin between the second and third place clubs was due mainly to the experience ol the senior teams.

Father Raymond L. 1 lar- baugh, who has lor three years been undertaking the dual re¬ sponsibility of President of C.H.S. and pastor of St. Peters Cathedral, progresses further in his undertakings every year. A year ago he was responsible for buying the Belleville Athletic Field. I bis year he has fostered numerous improvements to lx ma de for both. May he continue on his role lor years to come. The senior class, which has attended school under Brother Gerard Busch lor three years, wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to our principal. His quiet, calm way of handling any student problems have won him the respect and admiration of all. As long as Brother Gerard is present. Cathedral High is in the best of hands. Brother Gerard J. Busch, S.M. Wayne Knapp, treasurer; Norm Meder, vice-president; Bill Thebus, president; Jim Gedda, secretary. The Class o f “51” elected Bill Thebus to be their president by almost unanimous vote. Bill, always popular around school, divides bis time between the school paper and debating. 1 le is most seen flying about in his 1947 Ford. Norm Meder, who attained the position of vice-pres¬ ident, is the athletic type. I le is co-captain of the base¬ ball team and is one ol the school’s best bowlers. Jim Gedda, on whose shoulders fall the responsibility of keeping the minutes, is another most seen in an athletic uniform. A three year letterman in football and baseball and a two year letterman in basketball, Jim is the pride ol the school. Wayne Knapp, the treasurer, is one of the most liked seniors. Always calm and smiling nothing ever disturbs him. But that all changes when he dons a football helmet and then all opponents head for cover. With officers like these Cathedral is graduating its best class. Father Louis Trawalter Brother Michael Brangan Brother Michael Brangan and Father Louis Trawalter, the capable leaders o! the two “51” senior classes, are both native Texans and they threaten to lynch anyone missing from class. 43 - feut it wasn ' t all play The regular curriculum supplied us with opportunities aplenty to work, learn and pre¬ pare tor the future; discipline tempered with kindness and human understanding was our daily diet. Our teachers have indeed accom¬ plished their mission ot preparing us lor a life based on Christian principles. Brother Gerard Busch, our principal, has repeatedly shown that his chief aim is the welfare ot the students. I he formation of an after-school study period was an example of his zeal to help in their self-improvement. bather Louis Trawalter is vitally interested in the spiritual growth of the Cathedral I ligh School students. Besides his regular classes, he is in charge ot the sociality and is founder ot the senior choir. 1 he school paper and annual are in the capable hands of Brother Michael Bran- gan. He is also librarian and leader of the Glee Club and this year has taught a special journalism course. Brother Alphonse Scherer, who is this year celebrating his silver jubilee as a Brother of Mary, is renowned for his skill in coaching our football teams. Brother Norbert Kramer is in charge of photography for the school publications. I le is also teacher ol biology, chemistry and the math courses. I he Commercial department is under the direction ol Brother Francis I leidemann. I le is fixit man about school and has recently built some beautiful new desks for the me¬ chanical drawing room. 1 ushing his class to the top in the various drives and activities is Brother Francis chief occupation. 1 le coaches the basketball team, B baseball and is assistant trainer tor the football team. Brother I lenry Collins, a newcomer to Cathedral I ligh, has been appointed Athletic Director. Coaching the baseball team, fresh¬ man loot ball and B basketball team takes up much of his time. Brother Paul Kromska, also a new arrival here at Cathedral, leads his class to participate in school activities. Besides teaching civics, religion and Latin, he is often seen helping his students to understand their duties. Professor Bernard Miller, K.S.G., directs the Cathedral band, and is responsible for their ex¬ cellent style of music. He is fa¬ mous for his musical skill and sinus the Gregorian chant at Mass every morning. I caching religion at Cathedral are Father Kuhl and Father Pimes- kern. These priests, along with Father Holtgrave and Father Tra¬ walter were always available to hear the confessions of the stud¬ ents and help them solve their problems. All of these self-sacrificing men have done their utmost to prepare us for the future. To them we can leave only our deepest appre¬ ciation and undying gratitude. ItSio-uCfli the yea ii. CLASS HISTORY 1947-1948 Sixty-eight dubious freshmen entered the portals of C.II.S. on September 2, 1947. Immediately the two frosh homeroom teach¬ ers took over, Brother Norbert Kramer 1-A and Brother Francis Heidemann 1-B. We held elections and Jim Gedda, Wayne Mertens, Wally Drone, and Tom 1 Iolthaus were put on the student council. I laving Brother William Baer as our prin¬ cipal we fast learned the meaning of “spirit” and finished high in the spirit banner drives. Athletically twenty-two freshmen upheld the school honor on one or more of the “C” teams. Our class had in it seven very welcome new additions to the hand. This first year proved to be one of the most enjoyable in our lives and all would like to take it again. CLASS HISTORY 1948-1949 Sixty-four energetic sophomores reported lor classes on September 2, 1948, to under¬ take the overwhelming task of completing another year of never-ending hard work un¬ der the supervision of the able moderators, Brother Norbert Grass and Brother Martin McMurtrcv. Brother Martin headed the Varsity Basketball team and was assistant football coach. Brother Norbert was athletic director and varsity baseball coach. Although we were separated into two classes, we remained one in school spirit. The sophomore classes contributed to the various teams, six sophomores receiving major awards. Scholastically, the sophomores proved their intelligence bv having twelve make a good showing on the honor roll. With another year of Catholic training and education completed, we closed our books. CLASS HISTORY 1949-1950 Sixty-two in number, we began our 1949- 1950 school year under the highly regarded leadership of moderators Father Louis Tra waiter, S.M. of Junior A and Brother Nor¬ bert Grass of Junior B. With Brother Gerard Busch serving his second year as principal the year was expected to be another success¬ ful one. Scholastically, the two classes joined to¬ gether and proved to their leaders and them¬ selves that they could study and did. Athletically, nine juniors answered the call of Brother Alphonse Scherer to gain their major letters in football. In basketball, four earned majors for their ability on the hardwood. Ending athletics for the year, six followed the field ol letter winners by earning base¬ ball monograms. With the end of the school year just around the corner, seven juniors were select¬ ed to take over the Central Committee. CLASS HISTORY 1950-1951 On the morning of September 5, 1950, sixty-two eager seniors, hungry for their last taste of high school education, returned to school lor their final year of intensive study and fundamental training of Catholic gentle¬ men, the senior moderators being Father Louis Trawalter, a wise teacher, warm friend, and patient counsellor of the seniors, and Brother Michael Brangan, a quiet but per¬ suasive individual who is a firm believer in student and faculty companionship. Athletically, the seniors excelled, taking most of the major awards in sports. Eighteen major football awards, four major basketball awards, and nine baseball letters were re¬ ceived by seniors. Sociality meetings were well conducted by the central committee and the advice during the course of these meetings was taken to heart with extraordinary seriousness bv the students. Scholastically, the Class of Fifty-one proved to be exceptionally intelligent, a large number being frequently seen on the enviable Honor Roll. Moose” Allen E.

The class officers which include Jim Cerneka, president; Frank Lill, secretary; and Marvin Blaes, treas¬ urer, have done much to make I B the splendid class that it is. Sports activities which draws every boy’s enthusiasm found eight LB students participating in football.

They were: Jim Cerneka, Jack Buss, J. J. McKinney, Larry I lund, and John Klien. Baseball practice which started as soon as the first sign of spring appeared had two hoys engaged. These aspirants were: John Klien and William Farrow. Although the freshman teams didn’t end up with a very good record they deserve credit for keeping up the school spirit. The sodality officers of 1-B which included Robert Schrag, prefect; J. J. McKinley, secretary; and Bill Farrow, treasurer; did all they could to keep up the spiritual end of the class. r Wolf, Vincent Wessel, Louis 69 Gaienda i Sept. 1 School opens; Ace Club arrives in car.
