Cathedral High School - Crusader Yearbook (Belleville, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1957 volume:

FACULTY UPPERCLASSMEN UNDERCLASSMEN Brother Michael Brangan In his second year as president of Cathedral High School is the able person of Father Gregory Holtgrave, who is also the administrator of the Cathedral parish. A man of keen understanding and humor, he is well liked by the students of Cathedral High for the active interest he takes in all school activities. In his three years as dean, Brother Michael has sought constantly to improve our ever-expand¬ ing school, trying his best to make it a better place to live and work. After 26 years of service in the Society of Mary, 17 of which have been at Cathedral High School, he has come to have a good understanding of the student’s problems and is always ready with a helpful suggestion. His perpetual smile and friendly attitude make him very popular with the students, who respect his sound judgment and gentle yet effective law en¬ forcement. Father Bernard Meyer fulfills his many duties as School Chaplain, Vice Principal, and modera¬ tor of 4-A with praiseworthy fidelity. In his role as advisor to the students. Father brings CHS men closer to God. Although CHS is a friendly place di¬ rected by friendly people, there is still a strict need for discipline. Among the more famous of these rules is the infamous tardy- slip. At sometime in every student’s life at CHS he finds himself admitting the bus was three minutes late. The yearbook salutes you, MEN. WE PREPARE Every student’s day begins with Mass at Cathedral. This rare privilege is granted to Crusaders so that they may go to school properly disposed to do the job necessary. The nearness of the church affords every student the opportunity for the quiet meditation so neces¬ sary to a Crusader. Pictured above is a typical scene of First Friday; Devout Crusaders praying for success. RELIGION Basic in every man’s life is the knowledge of his faith. From the earliest school days the Modern Cath¬ olic Youth is taught Catechism but as he grows older and matures he begins to wonder about the “Reason” behind it. We are thankful for the skilled guidance of the Brothers of Mary, who show us the Reason behind it. We learn early in our days here at C.H.S. of the import¬ ance of living in a Christian atmosphere with our fellow men. ENGLISH The English Department now under the direction of newcomer Brother George Taylor, inaugurated several new programs this year, among them the Friday music appreciation class. During the four years at C.H.S., students at one time or another take courses in journalism, speech, grammar and literature. The new combined English fee allows the student better material to read and more helpful workbooks than before. Many class newspapers are the result of the new journalism classes. MATH One of the most important courses taught here at Cathedral High is mathematics. Courses in Algebra I and II, Plane and Solid Geometry. Trigonometry Survey, Bookkeeping, are made available to enterprising stu¬ dents. Math is essential to advanced professional fields as well as modern everyday life. Mathematics is a most appreciated subject. Although all students do not see the practical value of higher forms of mathematics, they do see that more than anything else math teaches the stu¬ dent to “THIMK!” SCIENCE Interesting enough to intrigue any American youth is the field of science—which includes, at CHS, chemistry, physics, and biology. Along with the ma¬ terial in the text book come interesting periods at the lab tables. Under the careful supervision of competent instructors, students learn of the marvels of science and prepare to take their place in surroundings that are becoming more and more determined by the giant technological strides of science and industry. STUDY For the students of Cathedral, one of the more ap preciated periods in the curriculum is the study period. It enables the student to have some time during school in which he can do some of the homework from his courses. A majority of the students have two study periods, while others taking hand, typing, or physical education have one. Most of these periods are held in the library where the students can use the books available for re¬ search. The men of Cathedral should be thankful for this privilege which other high school students some¬ times do not have. Practice makes perfect! OUR MARCHING BAND- Swing it from Virginia . . . BAND Under the direction of Brother Glennon Mert- ens, this year’s version of the C.H.S. band has completed another fine year of marching and con¬ certs. Although this was Brother Mertens’ first year of band leading at C.H.S., he introduced many new pieces of music and fine ideas. Next year the band will be missing the services of graduating veterans George Smith. Dave Fourn- ie, John Carr, Bob Bauer. Chuck Mank. Rich Mank. Tom Kolb, Jack Dollus, Russell Kneipkamp, Roger Schneider, and George Munie. Pay Attention Boys! THE LARGE AND THE SMALL Blow Dave Blow!! Brother Michael Brangan, S.M. Reverend Bernard Meyer, S.M. Brother Norbert Kramer, S.M. OUR FACULTY Brother William Nance, S.M. Brother Glennon Mertens, S.M. Brother Thomas Egolf, S.M. Brother Fred Fuchs, S.M. Exhibiting much patience and zeal, the Brothers of Mary once again proved their ability as teachers and molders of men as they turned out another fine crop of Christian scholars. The complete and rounded education which the Brothers of Mary possess enables them to present a full and varied curriculum, making a good Catholic education available to any seripus student. Because of the growing complexities of the world, the students of today and of the future will need the most complete education possible, to guide them through their adult life. For the majority, a high school education is no longer adequate. For all. a high school foundation is necessary for a full life, both as a man and as a Christian. The Brothers of Mary have given us this foundation. Brother John MacGillis, S.M. Brother Patrick McNulty, S.M.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURE MOTHERS’ CLUB The Cathedral High Moth¬ ers’ Club once again went in¬ to action to aid the school in giving their sons a fine Christian education. The mothers asked questions and received answers about the problems their sons might be having. From these questions and answers the mothers learned bow these problems were beipg corrected by the Brothers of Mary. Besides just aiding their sons’ education, the Mothers’ Club also did such things as obtaining band instruments for the Crusader band and holding a Christmas party, plus helping make the foot¬ ball Dance and other dances a success. The Fathers, Friends and Alumni Club, this year under the direction of President Les Cole, supplied the school, especially the Athletic De¬ partment, with funds to equip the football, basketball, and baseball squads. Perhaps its greatest contribution was the promotion of solidarity be¬ tween the school administra¬ tion and the various groups of men interested in the good of Cathedral High. CREDIT UNION LIBRARIANS Junior Crusaders join the ranks. RETREAT ’56 gives the word.

Spurred by a brilliant third quarter outburst by Chuck Hasenstab, the men finished at the big end of a 68-54 count. The Frosh of Brother John McGillis, although not winning many games, showed a fighting spirit.

Brother Fred Fuchs, var¬ sity football coach, did a sterling job of teaching the sophomores the basic fundamentals of basket¬ ball as well as good sportmanship on and off the court. The yearbook staff only hopes that this season will be a start to¬ ward many years of success. “C” TEAM Under the mentorship of Broth¬ er John MacGillis. the freshman squad did not have a very impress¬ ive record, but their hard hours of practice throughout the year began to show a spark of promise as they won two out of three of their last games The boys will help to strengthen not only the varsity, but also the B-Team next year. We, the yearbook staff, con¬ gratulate Brother John and his team and we hope that they will continue the domination of the Catholic League that their prede¬ cessors have set before them.

This year’s team will be strengthened by the return of six lettermen. The lettermen of last year are Bob Scheibel, Rog Muel¬ ler, Dan Abegg, Chuck Hasenstab, Jerry Obemdorfer, and Wayne Biver.
