Zuroweste, D.D., Bishop of Belleville, having sponsored throughout its long existence the best in educational facilities for the youth of the parish, is continuing that policy in main¬ taining the Cathedral High School. The youth of the entire city of Belle¬ ville is, in a very special way, under the direc¬ tion and protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, since all the grade schools are in the hands of the good School Sisters of Notre Dame and our own high school in the hands of the Brothers of Mary. Both of these teach¬ ing orders insist in maintaining the highest standards of education in themselves and their charges. In 1942 St. Peter’s Cathedral cele¬ brated its centennial. The late Archbishop Schlarman of Peoria and the present Bishop Joseph M. Mueller, D.D., bishop of Sioux City, Iowa are immediate past pastors of St. Peter ' s Cathedral. The Right Reverend Monsignor Raymond Harbaugh is present rector of the parish, having the Reverend Fathers Gregory Holtgrave, Peter Pimeskern, and Urban Kuhl as his able assistants. Monsignor Harbaugh has made every effort to keep Cathedral High School improv¬ ing and growing. The assistants give gener¬ ously of their time and energy in the admin¬ istration of the sacraments and the manage¬ ment and direction of the many youth groups. Assistant Pastors Father Urban Kuhl, Father Peter Pimeskern, Father Gregory Holtgrave, and Pastor and Presi¬ dent of Cathedral High School Monsignor Raymond Harbaugh We waited in long lines to register. I BECOME It was sometime in the distant past, about four years ago, that I registered here at Cathedral High School to begin a bit more formal education under the direction of the Brothers of Mary. I had been tested and retested until the faculty found I had an IQ. I was counseled, admonished and placed. As the years rolled by, my teachers were relentless in their demands that I do better. Finally, one day I awoke to the fact that to be a really good, a really great Cathedral Crusader I had to buckle down and work. Today I am a CRUSADER and must confess I’m mighty proud to be one. A CRUSADER! Hilpert looks interested! The Dean plays for Rubinoff! Snack Bar where we get Held Up! With a song in my heart. WE SOON MEET Our teachers have been truly devoted to their work, sacri¬ ficing even their own time to help us after school hours. We salute our leaders who have worked to develop boys into men, subs into regulars, and kids into sportsmen. Our mentors have made The Crusaders respected by opponents. OUR NEW OFFICERS . 1 Brother Gerard Busch, principal of Cathedral these past four years, has been untiring in his efforts to maintain Cathe¬ dral’s excellent reputation. His deep sympathy and keen under¬ standing of our problems has certainly been a factor in making our years of training less difficult. Officers of 4A Jack Miotke, Treas. Bob Sprinz, Sec.

WE BUILD FOR THE FUTURE The materials with which we build our future are forged here at Cathedral High. In our building for the future, what is more fitting than association with the Master Builder. This is possible through, daily Mass, frequent reception of Holy Communion and visits to the Blessed Sacrament. Our former high school president, Monsignor Joseph M. Mueller, now Bishop of Sioux City, Iowa, began our West-end parish of The Blessed Sacrament in 1926. Since that time the parishioners have had their church in a white frame building on West Main Street. The new church, now in process of building, will be in the eighty-nine hundred block of West Main next to Blessed Sacra¬ ment School. Work on the Blessed Sacrament Church was begun in the fall of 1951 by dig¬ ging the foundations but was delayed by “red tape” until the spring of ’52. It is hoped it will be finished by fall of ’53. The new structure will cost an estimated $500,000. Father Louis F. Ell, pastor since Au¬ gust, 1930, is greatly responsible for the progress and growth of the parish. He has already completed a beautiful new school for the children and the parish. At present, the population of his parish consists of four hundred and twenty-five families. To help him serve this large group, Father Ell has Father Edwin Kastner as his assistant. Father Edwin Kastner, assistant and Father Louis Ell, pastor. Father Trawalter OUR DAILY BREAD! The high school doors open at 7:30 a.m. each day to admit the early birds. It is the usual thing to find quite a number of us waiting for the doors to open. You might ask: Why so early? The answer to that question is quite simple when one realizes that we have the happy privilege of attending Holy Mass on each of our school day mornings. All of us attend the High Mass at eight o’clock. The grade school children and quite a few other parishioners join us in this Holy Sac¬ rifice of thanksgiving, praise and adoration of Almighty God. Some of us sing along with the chanting of the choir, pray the Rosary or use our missals. The Seniors sing the Gregorian Chant for the Mass each morning under the direction of Professor Bernard L. Miller, K.S.G. Father Trawalter, Father Kuhl and Father Pimes- kern are generally to be found in the confessionals to afford us every chance of getting to the Sacraments frequently. About twenty percent go to daily Com¬ munion. During Lent the percentage increases to fifty or better. We have a wonderful opportu¬ nity of following the teachings and spirit of the liturgical year. Angels, aren’t we? But Brother says the devils are angels too! WE BECOME THRIFTY On April 5, 1951, the first high school credit union in the United States was started here at Cathedral High School. Through the efforts of Brother Michael with the coop¬ eration of the Belleville Catholic Credit Union and the students this very worthwhile organiza¬ tion was founded. Prominent among those who have greatly aided in bringing a credit union to our school are Miss Rose Nev- enner and Mr. H. E. Schweizer. On April 25, 1951, all stu¬ dents who had a deposit in the association met to elect their board of directors. Elected were Bill Thebus, Wally Drone, Ben Rice, Ray Laquet, Charles Beck, John Hund, Jake Lippert, Wayne Lanter, president; Charles Beck, vice-president; and John Four- nie, secretary-treasurer. This year Don Wuerz, Wayne Munie, and Bill Bach were elected to the board of di¬ rectors to replace Thebus, Drone, and Rice who had graduated. The CHS credit union is a branch of the Belleville Catholic Credit Union. It has its own offi¬ cers, board of directors and reg¬ ular committees as does any par¬ ish or city organization. The credit union has proven itself to be the students’ friend. Through it any member may promote thrift and have an easy access to loans at a very low rate of interest.

M PEP SQUAD Pepping up the fans at Cathedral’s football and basketball games this year were three lively and enthusiastic cheerleaders, Helen Branom, Lory Middendorf and Theresa Heckenberger. If we were winning or losing, these girls kept the spectators applauding and yell¬ ing for the Crusaders. Much of Cathedral’s athletic success is due to their energetic cheering. Before every game they faithfully practiced their cheers until they were in per¬ fect time with each other. As a reward for their hard work the girls were nominated as candidates for the title of football queen. Theresa Heckenberger was elected to rule and Lory Middendorf and Helen Branom served as maids of the queen’s court. In connection with the Orphanage Bowl game between the Cathedral Crusaders and the Central Catholic Pioneers a group of seniors presented a short skit satirizing the East St. Louis team. -- CRUSADER ASSEMBLIES This year the combined Crusader staffs sponsored a series of assemblies to foster a greater school spirit. Bob Price, 4A, was appointed director of the “Crusader As¬ sembly Series.” Included among the topics were: “Know Your School”, “Know Your Town”, and “An American Education.” The first assembly included talks on the growth of the school, the history of Cathedral High School athletics, and of past and present faculty members. The “Know Your Town” assembly concerned the found¬ ing of Belleville, industries in the city, and noted personages of the community. After the speeches, prizes donated by the advertis¬ ers of the publications, were awarded. Mr. Blair, superintendent of schools; Brother Theodore Hoeffken, Ma rianist in¬ spector of schools, an alumnus; and Ken Metze spoke at the third assembly. The state’s view on education, the view of the re¬ ligious order, and of the student were pre¬ sented at this meeting. Mr. Clarence D. Blair County Superintendent of Schools Seated at the speaker’s table for the “Know Your School” assembly were: Charles Buss, Boh Sprinz, Bob Jaeckel, John Fournie speaking. Boh Price, Wayne Lantcr, Tom Arey, and Jim Mason. FUN AND FROLIC Metze, Ketterer in serious mood! Schulte, Beck, Karr and Nebgen serve tea! Under the direction of Brother Michael and his publication staffs, the Christmas Talent Show was opened to the public for the first time. The show is entirely unrehearsed and was offered this year to estab¬ lish The Crusader Scholarship Fund. Emceed by Bill Hubert and Wayne Lanter the show was well received by the large audience; Wilson, Becker, Jaeckel, Sprinz, Miotke, and Hilpert give Fenoughty rough time! IN THE TALENT SHOW Honored guests and speakers at the Father-Son Banquet were: Msgr. William Hoff; Msgr. Raymond Harbaugh; Father Ralph Heister, main speaker; Mr. Joseph Igel, toastmaster; Jim Igel; Brother Gerard Busch; Robert Bur¬ nett, winner of the “I Speak for Democracy” contest; and Father Arthur Niemeyer. FATHER-SON BANQUET Father Ralph Heister On February 12 of the past year Cathedral High was host to the annual Father-Son Banquet. Approximately two hundred and fifty fathers attended this twelfth annual af¬ fair. The notable factor of the Cathedral Father and Son Banquet is that each year the banquet becomes better than the one before. This year proved to be no exception. Robert Burnett, freshman at St. Louis University and winner of the national “I Speak for Democracy” contest, addressed the audience with his prize winning speech. Chief speaker on the program was Major Ralph Heister, Catholic Chaplain at Scott Air Force Base. Father Heister captured the attention of the audience by relating an amusing incident that happened to him during his tour of duty in the Phil¬ ippines. ■ PRESS CONVENTIONS The annual Southern Illinois High School Press Association meeting was held September 29 on the campus of Southern Illi¬ nois University at Carbondale. Cathedral High School’s adviser to the paper and yearbook publications, Brother Michael Brangan, was accompanied by Cathe¬ dral students, James Mason, Ray Laquet, Wayne Lanter, Bill Fenoughty, Tom Moll, William Bach, and Wayne Munie. The day was devoted to meetings con¬ cerned with producing an annual, and an open discussion on the production of a school paper. Cathedral High School was well rep¬ resented at the convention of the Illinois State High School Press Association held on the campus of the University of Illinois at Champaign, October 12 and 13. From the yearbook staff were: Jim Mason, editor; Wayne Lanter, business manager; Bob Sprinz, sports editor; Jack Miotke, social editor; and Ray Berkel, class historian. Representing the paper staff were: Ray Laquet, editor; Jim Igel, managing edi¬ tor; and John Fournie, columnist. Also at¬ tending the convention were Charlie Beck, photographer for the paper and annual; Jake Lippert, and Jack Schulte. Brother Michael, adviser for the paper and annual, accompanied the students to the convention and was a leader in a discussion period on “How to Add Zest to the Yearbook of a Small School.” Journalists who attended the ISHSPA convention were: John Fournie, Bob Sprinz, Ray Berkel, Jim Igel, Charles Beck, Jack Miotke, Wayne Lanter, Jim Mason. Jake Lippert, Ray Laquet, and Jack Schulte. WE WORK TOGETHER Cooperation is the keynote of all suc¬ cess. In all activities, be they spiritual, so¬ cial or athletic, we must work with others in order to achieve the utmost benefit. The school, as well as the parish, de¬ pends greatly on the cooperation of the indi¬ vidual with his principal or pastor. In school, the sodality meetings, The Crusader publica¬ tions, the athletic teams, and the many clubs and activities are based primarily on team¬ work. The pastor of a parish depends, like¬ wise, upon the hearty cooperation of his peo¬ ple in the building programs, picnics, and managing the functions of a parish. Here at Cathedral High we learn the necessity for teamwork. After graduation we should carry these principles over into the parish and different Catholic organizations in the diocese. St. Henry’s Parish, located about fifty- six hundred West Main Street, is in charge of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate who also direct the local seminary, St. Henry’s Col¬ lege. Father J. Schulte, O.M.I., began the parish in 1925. When St. Henry’s started in 1925 it had few families and used the chapel of the seminary for the parish masses. From the very beginning it provided for the education of the youth of the parish through the serv¬ ices of the School Sisters of Notre Dame. In 1932 a church and school were built. The parish grew ' rapidly and found it necessary to build a larger school. In 1950 a beautiful new school and gymnasium were begun and sol¬ emnly dedicated by our Most Reverend Bishop in April of ’51. Father E. A. Killian, O.M.I., is now- pastor with Father Cyril Foppe, O.M.I., as his assistant. Father E. A. Killian, O.M.I., pastor and Father Foppe, O.M.I., assistant.

GUIDES and DIRECTS The Central Committee of the Immac¬ ulate Conception Sodality of Cathedral High School is, or at least should be, the pivot on which all spiritual or extra-curricular activi¬ ties revolve. This committee is the equivalent of the Student Council in other schools of the state. It has a most important function that is vital to the whole school. Our Central Committee is particularly charged with the duty of stimulating and caring for the spiritual welfare of the entire student body. Father Trawalter, moderator of Senior B, is Director of the Sodality and adviser to the Central Committee which is composed of a group of seniors assisted by the Prefects of each of the other homerooms. Wally Amann of 4B is Prefect of the Central Committee this year and has been responsible for the general Sodality assem¬ blies held in the gym. He has been ably assisted by the following committee mem¬ bers: Jim Mason, Marian Chairman; Jack Miotke, Eucharistic Chairman; Wayne Lan- ter, Catholic Action Chairman; Ray Berkel, Mission Chairman; John Fournie, Parish Representative; and Ray Laquet, Secretary. The following homeroom Prefects are also members: Yorker Wade of 1A; Frank Lucash, IB; Glenn Monken, 2A; Bill Bach, 2B; Charles Beck, 3A; and Jake Lippert, 3B. Much of their work is done in the homeroom meetings. Members of the senior choir; First row: R. Becker, J. Fournie, W. Muckensturm, J. Baechle, C. Buss. Second row: J. May, W. Lanter, J. Monken, S.

SENIOR CHOIR Lifting their voices in praise daily at Mass in the Cathedral are members of the senior choir. This group was started a few years ago and has grown until this year more than three-fourths of the seniors be¬ long to it. Not only does the choir make the morning Mass more beautiful but it affords practice to the students who after singing a year are able to join the choir in their own parishes after they graduate.

WE RETREAT The days of grace, generally called a retreat, took place December 5, 6, and 7, here at Cathedral High. Father Stanley J. Kus- man, S.M., held his audiences spellbound during each lecture, instilling his young lis¬ teners with the spark of his own burning enthusiasm. Having served as a chaplain in the Air Corps during World War II, Father Kus- man put to good use many of his experiences as background for his talks. The language he used was modern and his conferences were thought-provoking. Father Kusman preached the best retreat we have had during our four years here at Cathedral. We’ll probably never forget the ex¬ periences of Father Pio as related by Father Kusman. It has brought home the great, the superhuman sufferings borne for us by Christ. Every Friday Father Pio relives the Way of the Cross with Christ. In the future it will be necessary to make greater effort not to use the Name of God in vain; to avoid the slanguage of the vulgar; to live always in the state of sancti¬ fying grace. If, through misfortune we fall, to rise again promptly by making an act of perfect contrition and to find our way to con¬ fession as soon as possible. Above all we must not be hypocrites. Quite naturally Our Blessed Mother could not be left out of a retreat. She was constantly before us overseeing the retreat- master and ourselves. The Freshmen and all other students who had not yet made their Act of Consecration to Mary did so the final day of the retreat. Let us never forget the significance of such a solemn act of conse¬ cration. Consulting the Retreatmaster Father Kusman at the altar Father Trawalter receives the new social¬ ists t First row: R.

SERVING GOD The senior altar boys at Cathedral High have this year started a Servers Club. It is not a club in the sense of dues, meetings and special act ivities but is organized in order to instill the love of serving Mass into the younger boys. After their grade school graduation, many boys tend to forget about being Mass servers. It is the purpose of the Servers Club to influence these boys to remain altar boys until out of high school. The Knights of the Altar consider it an honor to serve at Mass. They realize that during the Holy Sacrifice, God Himself is present on the altar just a few feet away from where they are kneeling.

LIBRARY CLUB : During 1 the course of the day at Cathedral High School, many books are taken from and returned to the library. Brother Michael Brangan, who is the school librarian, appoints library assistants. The library is not open during the first period because all the home¬ rooms have Religion then. During the second period Frank Theis and Jim Wehrheim share the duties behind the checking desk. Tom Forrest is the assistant during the third period. Paul Gagne and Jim Cerneka held down their duties in the fourth period. Jim Baechle worked the fifth and Ken Metze the sixth. The final period of the day saw Glenn Monken checking books and Mike Hutch carding books and returning them to their proper places. Bill Hubert and Tony Held were the after-school librarians. Larry Haas kept the shelves in order. Bill Hubert, Pres. Librarians: Tony Held, Jim Monken, Stan Vollinger, Larry Hass, Glenn Monken, Frank Theis, Jim Wehrheim, Tom Forrest, and Mike Hutch.

GLEE CLUB Over thirty students eager to display their vocal talents reported for rehearsals following the call for Glee Club members early in the year. Those reporting were divided into three sections. They made their debut at the Talent Show singing two numbers, Adeste Fideles and Winter Wonderland. Only upperclassmen were enlisted in the club which is under the direction of Brother Michael. Professor Bernard L. Miller, K.S.G., who is organ¬ ist and choir director at the Cathedral is also a member of the CHS faculty. He is band director and instructor in music appreciation. Bernard L. Miller, K.S.G.

Under the direction of Professor John Fournie James Hillesheim Bernard L. Miller, the band participated in many activities. Twice they received thunderous applause from the audience at the Te Deum Forum. Then, they were rewarded for their hard work by re¬ ceiving a tremendous applause at the outdoor concert. Wilbert Hubert David Junker The seniors leaving the band this year will be: Bill Hubert, Bill Fenoughty, John Fournie, Matt Bretz, Jim Monken, Art Mahlman, Jim Hillesheim, and Dave Junker.

SCIENCE CLUB The students of Cathedral have this year revived the science club. Under the direction of Brother Ralph Drees the mem¬ bers of the club hold regular meetings in the Physics lab. The club was organized to foster the talents of our scientific-minded students. At their meetings, talks and demonstrations are given and movies are shown. Biology, weather, aeronautics, elec¬ tronics and mechanics are the many fields covered in these discussions and experiments. Many of the students use these club meetings to plan and discuss their entries in the Science Fair. A camera club has also been formed this year. Charlie Beck has done all the pho¬ tography work for the annual and paper. Other members of the club include Jerry Abegg, Robert Monken and Joe Neff. The tinkering scientists!

Ray Laquet, editor, has a smooth¬ working group of assistants working with him. Ray and his staff of editors and re¬ porters have been doing an excellent job in producing a lively, up-to-the-minute school paper. His staff has also been active in the ISHSPA. Our adviser has been secretary of the Illinois Association of Teachers of Jour¬ nalism and a member of the State Planning Council for ISHSPA. The editors are always alert to dis¬ cover new talent for the staff and spend much of their time in developing them into good writers.

THE CRUSADER The Cathedral High School year-book, The Crusader, is published each year through the efforts of the senior class under the direction of Brother Michael Brangan. This is the twenty-first volume to have been produced by Cathedral students and the first to be printed by offset process. The book is not subsidized but is financed entirely through the efforts of the students. This is raised principally through advertis¬ ing and subscriptions. The staffs have each year been par¬ ticipants in the Illinois State High School Press Association at Champaign, having held various offices in the association and been scheduled speakers on the programs. Our business managers have been active partici¬ pants in Northwestern’s Business Clinic each year. The experience has paid well. Business Manager Wayne Lanter and his assistant, Tom Arey.

No one, except per¬ haps his parents, will ever know the work that goes into producing a yearbook. Circulation Managers Bob Jaeckel, Tom Budde, and Roger Reno have sold out the book before we go to the printers. Charlie Beck slaved many an hour in the dark room. Berkel, Lange, Hubert, Arey and Hilpert were Class Historians. Smith typed by the hour. Amann, Monken and Fournie arranged the taking of the pic¬ tures for the book. Editor Jim Mason consults Hubert. SOCIAL by NATURE, MAN SEEKS Although man is social by nature and seeks fellowship, his religious life must not be neglected. At Cathedral High the many activities help the student to develop socially. His spiritual life is well cared for by sodality meetings, religious instruction, daily mass, and the annual retreat. A typical parish of Belleville where so¬ cial and spiritual activities are stressed is St. Luke’s Parish. Its church is located at Church and C Streets and Monsignor Kaiser is the present pastor. Msgr. Francis Kaiser was born in Ger¬ many and soon after ordination in his father- land, came to the United States. A short time later found him at St. Luke’s where he soon became well-known in the city. In 1949 his present title of Monsignor was conferred upon him. He is noted for his special devotion to Our Lady of Fatima. He is also Director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith in the diocese. Father Niemeyer, assistant pastor, came to the parish after his ordination in Belleville’s Cathedral in 1949. At present his titles, which are many in number, include being moderator of the St. Luke’s Teenager Club, Chaplain of the Catholic War Veterans, Chaplain of the Holy Name Men and religion teacher at Notre Dame Academy. He has taken a very special interest in the youth of the parish. The Cathedral High School students of St. Luke’s Parish continue through their high school days to serve the Sunday or week-day masses. Monsignor Kaiser and Father Niemeyer can always find the youth of their parish to be always ready and willing to help. Monsignor Francis A. Kaiser and his assistant Father Arthur Niemeyer. The loveliest night of the year at Cathedral High School Prom. Prom Committee of 52: John Foumie, Bob Sprinz, Wayne Lanter, Jim Baechle. THE SENIOR May 18, 1951 proved to be a mem¬ orable date for the grads of last year as it was the day of the crowning social event of their high school days, the Senior Prom. The Cathedral Hall seemed touched by the wand of a fairy, such wonders had been wrought by the decorating commit¬ tee. In keeping with their theme of “Star Dust”, the ceiling of the hall had disap¬ peared under a surging wave of billow¬ ing clouds and sparkling stars. Domi¬ nating the center of the floor and revolv¬ ing throughout the evening was a beau¬ tiful statue of Mary. Les Jackson’s orch¬ estra furnished the music. Large rock walls, broken by lighted pillars, framed the dance floor. Revolving colored spots helped paint a lovely evening. The Loveliest Night of the Year continued, but not long enough! PROM of ' 51 Greeting the President of CHS! About ten o’clock the Grand March formed and each Senior greeted Monsignor Harbaugh and Brother Gerard and presented his date. To con¬ clude the Grand March the group formed about Our Blessed Mother and prayed for the success and protection of their Class and friends and then were given a blessing by Monsignor. Dancing and dining continued through the remainder of the evening.

SWEETHEART The outstanding social event of the first semester is always the foot¬ ball dance, which is traditionally held the evening before Thanksgiving. This year it was held November 23, in the Cathedral Hall which had been beau¬ tifully decorated. The Letterman’s Club sponsored the affair and Clete Andres’ orchestra supplied the music. Jack Schulte, emceeing for the evening, called the expectant crowd to attention to present the new queen and her entourage. Princess Lois Thomas, Helen Branom, Lory Midden- dorf and Frances Hoffman entered, escorted by Lippert, McAteer, Mahl¬ man, and Wilson respectively. Queenly Candidates: Miss Helen Branom, Miss Lois Thomas, Miss Theresa Heekenberger, Miss Lory Mid- dendorf and Miss Frances Hoffman. of THE t FOOTBALL TEAM Welcomed with cheers and applause, the new queen, Miss Theresa Heckenberger, entered the hall carrying a large bouquet of mums, escorted by smiling Co-captain James Monken. On arriving at the beautifully ar¬ ranged court, Miss Heckenberger was seated on a throne covered with gold satin and was then solemnly crowned with a coronet of American Beauty buds. Queen Theresa of the House of Heck¬ enberger then addressed her loyal subjects by expressing her appreciation to all who voted for her and her pleasure at being the new queen of ’51-’52. The Queen next invited all to join her court in the Queen’s Dance. Queen Theresa Heckenberger of Notre Dame Academy EN OY We formerly heard the cry of nothing- to do here in Belleville. With the development of theB.C.Y.G. under Father Kuhl no one can complain that he hasn’t had things humming to help keep us out of mischief. Home for the holidays, many alumni enjoyed the Football Dance, November 23, 1951. WE ALL The many well- planned social events give us varied and wholesome recreation under the best of conditions. Many new friends are found at these evenings of fun. The Annual Dance The B.C.Y.G. Committee. b. c. y. G.

Play a clean game at all events. Fight the clean fight. By fighting hard despite the odds, we are trained well for the battles of life. We cannot have or do all that we might desire. We must be sports¬ men even in defeat. Monsignor William Hoff, pastor of St. Teresa’s and Dean of Belleville, is a true sportsman. Despite the handicap of illness his efforts to build up his parish are paying dividends. St. Teresa’s, located at 1100 Leb¬ anon Avenue, is flourishing. Msgr. Hoff, founder of the parish, this year celebrated his 25th jubilee as pastor. Under him the church and parish have made many gains, the most notable being the construction of a new grade school containing all the most modern facilities. Monsignor Hoff’s burdens were light¬ ened by the appointment of Father Paul Stau- der as assistant. Father Stauder, besides his religious duties, also directs the choir and coaches the boys and girls basketball and softball teams. He is also in charge of the Boy Scouts. He has adapted himself to the parish and is working with much zeal under the guidance of his pastor. The local U.S.O. has benefited greatly through the interest of Msgr. Hoff who has always been active in most social and civic affairs. His boys are to be found in all the sports here at Cathedral and are active in the publications and other extra-curriculars of the school.

In the initial game of the 1951 campaign the Crusaders went down in defeat to an experienced St. Mary’s eleven, 13-0. The game was marked by tight defensive play on the part of the Crusaders. Bounding back in the second game, the Cru¬ saders unleashed a vicious ground attack, scoring touchdowns in every quar¬ ter to swamp Lutheran of St. Louis, 41-0. Jack Schulte contributed two TD’s to the cause, while Art Mahlman, Wayne Lanter, Jim Monken, Bill Miller, and Wally Amann also hit pay dirt. Amann’s touchdown was a 92-yard jaunt on a pass intercep¬ tion at the 8-yard line. A Study in Contrast! Co-captain Jim Monken In the second annual Orphanage Bowl game the Crusaders dropped a bitterly fought battle to Central Catholic, 14-6. The Crusaders scored their only touchdown on the opening play of the game as Art Mahlman recovered a lumble and rambled 18 yards for the TD. Outplayed but not outfought the Blue and Gold dropped the annual Rotary Bowl city championship game to BTHS, 35-6. The score at the half was a respectable 14-0. Seconds before the half ended, reserve half¬ back, Jack Miotke intercepted a pass on the goal line and knifed his way 65 yards before he was broug ' ht down by Township’s safety man. The Crusader’s lone touchdown came in the fourth period, when Art Mahlman wrested the ball from Township’s fullback and sprinted 89 yards for the longest run of the evening. Time after time Cathedral linemen broke through and threw Township backs for heavy losses. Goal Line or Bust! It was evident that the team was well drilled in the game. Their quick thinking and hard tackling earned respect from oppo¬ nents. s Wally Amann and Jim Monken, our co-captains, were placed on the Catholic League All-Star team. Tom Arey and Tom Budde earned positions on the second team for their outstanding defense work. Ray Ber- kel and John Fournie merited honorable mention. Tom Arey LEAGUE PLAY Traveling to Clayton, Missouri, the Crusaders de¬ feated Chaminade, 13-6, in their first league encounter. The defense came in for its share of gflory, as both teams were held scoreless the first half. Wayne Lanter tallied for 6 points and Jim Monken was credited with 7. In the next league battle. Cathedral defeated Mercy High to move into first place. Co-captain Jim Monken scored three touchdowns and one extra point, while Wayne Lanter was busy pushing over one TD and one conversion. Line play again proved its importance in this victory. On a slow, muddy field, the Crusaders went down to defeat to a better “mudder” team, Marquette. The Blue and Gold was unable to find the goal line as the Explorers dis¬ covered it three times for 18 points and once for an extra point. The last game of the season saw the Crusaders de¬ prived of a tie for first place in the Catholic League, by, losing to a powerful Coyle team 26-0. The Blue and Gold finished the League season in a tie with Chaminade for second place. The overall record for the season was three wins and five defeats.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL This year’s edition of the frosh foot¬ ball squad showed promise of future material for the varsity. The team seemed to catch the Crusader spirit as their record indicates. Under the able guidance of Brother Henry Collins the young squad was drilled in the fundamentals of the game and became fa¬ miliar with varsity patterns. The line which bore the brunt of many a game usually saw Bob Roberts, Eugene Athmer, Yorker Wade, Bob Monken, Ronald Bier, and Bob Bossier as starters. The back- field consisted of Butch Lugge at quarter¬ back, Gus Pflugmacher and Fred Lotz at the halfback positions and Dick Price at the full¬ back spot. Price countered forty-four of the team’s fifty-eight points. Bob Busch totaled six along with Fred Lotz. Bob Roberts and Butch Lugge each scored one. Those who formed the remainder of the team included: D ”k Wahlig, Gerald Storner, David Friess, Ronald Olson, Jerry Hanford, Roger Gass, Jack Eschenfelder Jerry Abegg, and Don Kraus. The team ended the season with three games won, three lost, and one tied. Opening the season the young team lost a close game to Landsdowne 7-0. The Crusaders battled Central Catholic to a 6-6 tie. Traveling to Clayton, Mo., the Blue and Gold broke into the win column by defeating Chaminade 14-6. The squad then lost a heartbreaker to St. Mary’s of St. Louis 7-6. The Crusaders stunned Collinsville 13-6. They were over¬ powered by a strong C.B.C. eleven, 20-0. In their last game of the season the frosh de¬ feated Du Bourg, 19-6.

BASKETBALL The three co-captins of the ’52 season were recently named by the President of the Catholic League, Brother William Callahan, to positions on the All-Star team. Wayne Lanter, center for the Crusader quin¬ tet, merited first team honors. Wayne ' s average of. sixteen points per game copped scoring honors on the team. His favorite shot was a jump shot. Named a guard on the second team is Art Mahlman. Art proved his value to the team in get¬ ting his share of the rebounds. His favorite shot was the two-handed set shot. Guard, Bob Sprinz, received honorable men¬ tion. Bob was noted for his defensive play and team¬ work. His favorite shot being an overhanded set shot. Brother Francis Haug coach Co-captain Wayne Lanter center Co-captain Bob Sprinz guard Co-captain Art Mahlman forward BASKETBALL Co-Captain Wayne Lanter returned to his pivot spot for the third straight year and again led the team in scoring with 339 points, an aver¬ age of 16 points a game. Art Mahlman, Co-Captain, copped third place honors in scoring using a vari¬ ety of shots. Art also proved to be a fine defensive as well as rebound man. Paired at forward with Mahlman was 6 ' 5 Larry Kelcher. Larry, with his fine rebounding and shooting was second to Lan¬ ter in scoring with 165 points, an average of 8 points per game. Performing capably at the guard spots were Co-Captain Bob Sprinz and Bill Miller. Both proved to be driving guards with Miller showing ability as a dribbler. Wally Amann, 6 ' 2 forward featured an aggressive brand of ball. Paul Birk and Gary Lanter received valuable experience which will help them next year. Rounding out the team were: Rich Klapp, Jack Soucy, Bob Diekem- per, John Hund, Jake Lippert and Joe Orlet. Opening their conquest of the Catholic League the Crusaders defeated Chaminade of Clay¬ ton, Mo., 43-35. The Blue and Gold scored their second straight win by dumping St. Francis de Sales, 54-37.

Third row: John Klein, Buck Vollinger, Roger Gass, Dick Price, and Bob Busch. B-TEAM BASK ETBALL This year’s frosh-soph squad has char¬ acterized Crusader teams of the past. Since important points are awarded to the victors of the B team games in the Catholic League the young “Beezers” pushed harder in prac¬ tice to master their set plays. The team was well balanced with no one individual leading the way. The team worked together as a group under their coach, Bro. Henry Collins. The starting lineup was composed of Smokey Caponi and Bucky Bach at the for¬ ward posts. Jack Buss, leading scorer of the team, jumped at center. J. J. McKinney and Jim Cerneka were the guards. Larry Hund, the sixth man on the squad, saw considerable action. Several varsity prospects gained valu¬ able experience from their work on the team and in future games will profit from their mistakes. Bob Busch, Teddy Tedesco, Gus Pflugmacher, Dick Price, Butch Lugge, Glenn Monken, Bob Roberts, Stan Voellinger, John Klein, Fred Lotz and Roger Gass were the valuable and necessary substitutes. Once again the “B” team was ably coached by Bro. Henry Collins, athletic direc¬ tor, who coaxes freshman football and var¬ sity baseball. Brother Henry Collins mam Members of the baseball team were, First row: Fred Lotz, Ralph Kassebaum, Joe Nebgen, Jim Monken, John Mc- Ateer, Bill Miller, Dan Hettenhausen.

Third row: Robert Thouvenot, Paul Burk, Warren Muckensturm, Art Mahlfnan, Bill Fenoughty, and Roger Reno. READY FOR ACTION BASEBALL The Crusader diamond squad ventured into the ’52 season with high hopes of a successful year. Nine fettermen and several young prospects from the frosh- soph squad were to be molded into a fighting squad before the end of the season. The Crusaders presented a well balanced attack with eight senior lettermen heading the team. Art Mahlman and Jim Mon¬ ken returned again this year to their outfield assignments. Bob Jaeckel and Johnny McAteer again sparkled at the keystone. capably as pitchers. Joe Nebgen and Jake Lippert assisted in the catching department. Much praise is to be ac¬ corded to the coaching staff which, as ever, is devoted to the school and team. All home games were played at the Cathedral Athletic Field, one of the finest fields in Southern Illinois. Although baseball is not in the spotlight as a major sport at Cathe¬ dral, it is fast coming and soon will be given its just glory. The Crusaders also proved they learned a certain amount of sportsmanship and played every game hard, clean and with two objectives—victory and competition. Bob Jaeckel at bat. Roger Reno, two year let- terman, returned to his first base job, while Bill Fenoughty again bore the catching assignment. Tom Budde and Warren Mucken- sturm headed the pitching staff, showing the way to several jun¬ iors. Transfer student Larry Kel- cher strengthened the squad in the outfield. Several juniors who strengthened the team in the out¬ field were: Paul Birk and Ken Metze, while Gary Lanter, Bob Thouvenot, Ralph Kassebau m, and Charlie Schobert bolstered the infield attack. Joe Orlet, Billy Miller, and Vin Koehr performed Hilpert, Blaes, Determan and Woesthaus, winners in the Christmas roll! BOWLING At Cathedral bowling holds an important spot in C.H.S. intramural sports. The Saturday night bowling league is the only American Junior Bowling Congress league in Belleville. The season at Cathedral opened early in November, the freshmen and sophomore keglers were inexperienced but improved as the season progressed.

HIGH Consecrated to Mary in a special man¬ ner as her sodalists, we leave Cathedral to 9 9 join our fellow citizens of Belleville who have so fittingly exemplified their love for Our Blessed Mother in establishing St. Mary’s Parish. Under the guidance of Father Joseph J. Orlet, pastor, St. Mary’s is rapidly growing into one of the larger parishes in the city. Second only to Cathedral in parishioners, St. Mary’s is embracing new members every day. Located in the 1800 block of West Main Street, the parish has a modern school with library and gym. The enrollment of students in the school has reached the high¬ est ever recorded in the school’s history. The teaching assignment is capably fulfilled by the Sisters of Notre Dame. The parish has flourished under the paternal care of Father Orlet. Loved by all who have done business with him, Father’s first love is St. Mary’s. Through his work many organizations have begun at St. Mary’s. The Sisters’ home, the rectory and the new addition to the school are improvements made in recent years. Recently appointed assistant to Father Orlet was Father Cletus Hentschel. Only re¬ cently ordained, Father Hentschel came to St. Mary’s a stranger but soon made many friends. He has sponsored the Junior Holy Name Society for young men and girls. His friendliness has proved a vital factor in his relations with St. Mary’s. Many organizations are functioning at St. Mary’s for the benefit of its parishioners, the St. yincent de Paul Society, Senior Ladies, and the Holy Name societies. A people’s pastor, Father Orlet and assistant Father Hentschel.

SPIRITUAL LEADERS The First Friday of May each year marks the Senior-Mother Communion and breakfast. It is particularly notable as the day when each Senior renews in the presence of his earthly mother his act of consecration to Our Blessed Mother. Kneeling at the Communion rail with our mothers immediately in back of us with their right hands on our shoulders we solemnly renew the consecration we were so happy to make when we entered the Sodality as Freshmen. The papers are then collected and the mother of the class president places them upon the altar of Our Blessed Mother. THE ACT OF CONSECRATION 0 my Queen, 0 my Mother, 1 trive myself entirely to thee, and to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate to thee this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole beinR without reserve. Since I am thine, O good Mother, keep me, guard me, as thy property and possession.

JUNIOR A Our home room of 3A had completed the third year in Cathedral High under the able guidance of Brother Henry Collins, who acted as athletic director of the school, “B” team basketball coach, and varsity baseball coach. Aiding Brother Henry in management of the class were Kenneth Metze, President ; Joe Nebgen, Secretary; Thomas Mueller, Treasurer, and Bob shouvenot, Vice-Presi¬ dent. Three-B was represented on the grid¬ iron by Joe Nebgen, Lester Appel and Charles Schobert. When football ended, bas¬ ketball season was breathing down our necks. John Hund, Richard Klapp, Joe Orlet, and Paul Birk showed 3A’s fighting spirit on the basketball floor. During baseball season Rob¬ ert Thouvenot, Ralph Kassebaum, Kenneth Metze, Joe Nebgen, Paul Birk, Joe Orlet, Den¬ nis Simmons, and Charles Schobert displayed the baseball talents of 3A. The lone member of the bowling league was Kenneth Metze. Lavern Leonard, Thomas Mueller, Robert Wiltshire, Joe Christ, Bob Thouvenot, and Joe Nebgen participated in the band. Members of the paper staff from 3A were Charles Beck, Victor Hoffmann, Bob Thouvenot, Bob Wiltshire, Joe Nebgen, Tom Moll, Joe Neff, Joe Orlet, Ken Metze, and John Hund. The members of 3A who were fre¬ quently gaining positions on the Honor Roll were Tom Forrest, Tom Mueller, and Bob Real.

UNfOR B After another year in the halls of learning of C.H.S. we can look back to see who our leaders have been and we can look forward to another year of prosperity. Hearing the old Crusader call, Jake Lippert, Norm Hasenstab, Jack Schulte, Vin¬ cent Koehr, Bob Karr, Dick Hall, and Bill Miller donned their football togs and took their share of the punishment and glory, as Schulte, Karr, and Lippert earned major letters. In basketball, Bill Miller, Jake Lippert, Bob Diekemper, and Jack Soucy were acting members of the Crusader quintet while Gary Lanter, Bill Miller, Vincent Koehr, and Norm Hasenstab displayed their talents on the baseball diamond. Assisting Brother Andrew in his homeroom were Jack Schulte, President; Jake Lippert, Vice-President; Leonard Hei- dorn, Secretary; and Bill Miller, treasurer. The important post of Sodality Prefect fell to Jake Lippert. Others elected to sodality posts were: Bill Buss, Eucharistic Chairman; Dick Hall, Marianist Chairman; and Bill Mil¬ ler, Mission Chairman. A great interest was taken in art by Vin Koehr, Cy Determan, and Jack Schulte. It was these three who undertook the job of drawing up all school posters. The year ended with a feeling of ac¬ complishment in the religious, scholastic, and athletic fields.

Francis Haug, the Sophomore A Class has ended the year with a very fine record behind them. Spurred by encouraging words from the class officers, Rich Schobert, President; Glenn Monken, Vice-President; William Far¬ row, Secretary; and Donald Wuerz, Treas¬ urer; 2A promptly showed their ability and “fight” by capturing top honors in the Cath¬ olic Digest Drive. Mission Captains, Anthony Wasser and Saverio Caponi, urged the class to out¬ standing heights in their field. An outstand¬ ing example of initiative shown by the class was the founding of a lost and found depart¬ ment for the students. The true Cathedral spirit of Soph “A” further asserted itself in the form of fre¬ quent communions, sufficient contributions to the missions and high rating in the Honor Roll standings.

Chosen to assist their homeroom mod¬ erator were: Marvin Blaes, President; Joe Schwaegel, Vice-President; Wayne Munie, Secretary; and Ronald Lanter, Treasurer. Appearing in full football regalia with varsity squad were: Gregory Heet, James Groesch and Bucky Bach. Larry Hund and Bucky Bach represented 2B on the basket¬ ball team. Regular at practice and willing to fol¬ low instructions, they succeeded in building a firm foundation for a strong varsity next year and the year following. We hope that in the next two years we will all remain together and cooperate with each other in meeting various responsibilities. We are looking for¬ ward to the day when we finish the last lap of our high school days.

Norbert Kramer, Moderator; Julius Clyne, Mission Chairman; and Robert Monken, Eucharistic Chairman. FRESHMEN A The Freshman A class, under the ad¬ mirable direction of Brother Norbert Kramer, was very productive in all spiritual, scholas¬ tic, and extracurricular activities during the past year, and has lived up to its motto, “1-A is A-l.” Yorker Wade, Class President and Sodality Prefect, has guided the class’s meet¬ ings, being competently aided by Vice-Presi¬ dent Robert Tedesco, Secretary Ronald Olsen, and Mission Chairman Julius Clyne. Scholastically, Julius Clyne, James Love, Daniel Denny, Robert Monken, James Erlinger, Ronald Olsen, Larry Haas, and Robert Tedesco attained positions on the Honor Roll. Yorker Wade, Robert Roberts, Gus Pflugmacher, Ronald Olsen, Robert Monken, Ronald Lugge, Thomas Reis, Fred Lotz, Jack Eshenfelder, James Erlinger, and Jerry Abegg were active members of the Freshman football squad and showed a lot of fight. In basketball the Freshmen yielded several ex¬ cellent athletes including Robert Tedesco, Robert Roberts, Gus Pflugmacher, and Ron¬ ald Lugge. John Woesthaus and Ralph Bueh- ler proved to be able keglers on the Freshman bowling team. Roger Sauerwein and Ralph Buehler joined the Science Club while Jerry Abegg and Robert Monken took to photography. Musical members of 1A are Roger Dol- lus, Roger Sauerwein, Gus Pflugmacher, and Bud Stormer.

Ralph Dress, Moderator; and Frank Lucash, Prefect. FRESHMEN 8 October ushered in the election of class and sodality officers for IB. Class officers elected were: President, Dick Price; Vice- President, Frank Lucash; Secretary, Roger Gass; and Treasurer, Bob Bossier. Spiritual affairs were under the direction of Prefect Frank Lucash and Vice-Prefect Roger Gass. The class seems to have made a very good choice as these boys have done a splendid job. Realizing the great needs of the mis¬ sions, the class worked very diligently for this good cause. By collecting forty dollars we surpassed our set goal of twenty-five dollars for the year. The missions were under the able supervision of Ardell Burns. On the gridiron, IB did not do too badly under the leadership of Bob Bossier. Our won-lost record revealed three won, three lost, and one tied. Out of nine touchdowns, seven were made by Dick Price and one by Bob Busch of IB. The members of the foot¬ ball squad from IB are as follows: Bob Boss¬ ier, Dick Price, Bob Busch, Butch Bier, Eu¬ gene Athmer, Jerry Stormer, David Friess, Gerald Hanford, Donald Krause, Roger Gass,- Donald Keller, and Dick Wahlig. Handling the pigskin seems to be an easy task for the members of IB. Basketball too claimed quite a bit of attention from Dick Price, Bob Busch, Roger Gass, and Gerald Hanford. Last, but not least, it must be men¬ tioned that IB was under the excellent guid¬ ance of Brother Ralph Drees. FROM OUR DIARY 1949 When school opened, September 2, 1948, we found ourselves, sixty-four in num¬ ber, wandering uncertainly through the strange surroundings of Cathedral High. Guided by Brothers Norbert Kramer and Francis Heidemann, homeroom modera¬ tors, Bob Dollus and John Fournie, Presi¬ dents, we settled ourselves for a seemingly long four years’ stay at Cathedral. To make up the Freshman football team, one-third of us trotted onto the grid¬ iron. When the call came for candidates for the “B” basketball team, nine Freshmen made the team; and nine Freshmen were in¬ cluded on the baseball roster. In addition to this we supplied three bowlers, eight band members, four glee club members, three newspaper columnists, and eleven Steady honor rool students. 1951 At the renewal of classes in Septem¬ ber of 1950, the Juniors, led by Brother Col¬ lins of 3A and Brother Alphonse Scherer of 3B, were at the strength of fifty-six. In and around school the Juniors were always very active with both classes doing outstanding work in the mission drive. Athletically, 13 Juniors, 6 of whom re¬ ceived major letters, could be seen practicing football every night. When basketball sea¬ son rolled around, four Juniors earned places on the squad, each receiving his major award. Baseball brought nine major letters to the Junior players for their fine demonstration on the playing field. Seven Juniors were chosen for the Central Committee, with a like amount being placed on the paper and annual staffs. 1950 Sixty-one in number, we began an¬ other progressive year, this time as deter¬ mined energetic Sophomores with Brothers Francis Haug and Alphonse Scherer as our able moderators. Although separated into two classes, our school spirit remained one. In iootball two Sophomores received major honors, while nine others provided able reserves for the Crusader Catholic League Champs. Likewise on the hardwood, two Sophs gained berths on the varsity quin¬ tet, while four others played on the “B” team. Six talented and energetic men from our combined classes strengthened the var¬ sity baseball squad. Ending the underclassmen years, we now looked forward with new vigor and de¬ termination to continue our spirit and co¬ operation. 1952 Under the leadership of Brother Michael Brangan and Father Louis Trawalter 50 eager Seniors prepared to tackle their last year in C.H.S. They worked hard to make it a success. Brother Michael spurred his class for¬ ward spiritually and scholastically. The stu¬ dents were always ready to listen to his ad¬ vice on yearbook, school paper, and voca¬ tional problems. His class, 4A, began the year by capturing the spirit banner and held it throughout the year. Father Trawalter’s worthy advising and wise teaching proved to be worthwhile as scholastically and athletically Senior B proved a class to be respected. The Seniors sponsore d a superb Talent Show which had the purpose of beginning Crusader Scholarship Fund. CALENDAR FOR ' 51 AND ' 52 AUGUST 15 Football practice begins.

As you embark upon your journey through life, to undertake the duties of your chosen occupation, success depends upon the per¬ formance with which you execute these duties. The American way of life has always been attributed to depend¬ able performance, by its discoverers, explorers, and generation after generation of its settlers. We stand in peril today of losing that way of life . . . because dependable performance is gradually being replaced by a premium on incapability, dishonesty, and ignorance. As each successive graduating class has faced its challenge, so do you today ... the challenge of Dependable Performance ... the foundation of America. FELLNER-RATHEIM, Inc.
