Rev. Msgr. C. J. Riordan and the generous parishioners ol Cathedral we dedicate THE ECHCD in appreciation ol our beautiful school. 5 To THE Class of '49 congratulations. They go forth from the class halls of our Cathedral School with our best wishes, and for them we have high hope that they will provide a distinguished leader- ship in whatever field they choose to apply them- selves. Hs the first class to graduate from the new school, they have unique opportunity to set precedents of excellence. We hope they will not forget their alma materp that they will remember our interest in them and their welfare will never cease. We hope that their graduation will be the beginning of a new loyalty to their school and that as alumni they'will do as much as they can do to further the welfare of that school which will always claim them with pride for her own and will always welcome with enthusiasm their re- turn to the familiar scene. Hnd may those returns be many and happy. Rt. Rev. Msgr- C. I. Riordan ge3 RT. REV. IBGR. C. J. RIORDAN Page 4 9 f Qfw OUR FACUITY 3 or: ff Rt. Rev. lsgr. C. J.

Florence Nightingale le, the Red Cross Class of 'L19 are aware that happiness is not to be found in a little pot of gold at 'ble end of the rainbow - but in the de- tails of everyday living--inthe give and take of human relationships. The four essentials of happiness, health, security, self-expressinnand congenial companionships were stmsed by Miss Elizabeth Rownd in the HOME NURSING class. Here we learned the proper care of our ovm bodies and those for whom we may be responsible. We learned when to call a doctor, how to carry out his orders intelligmtly, to keep the sick person comfortable and clean, to improvise supplies md to protect the family from contract- ing a communicable disease. Yes, success is won by no short cuts, but through study, experience and practice.

I o. hh GRAND ISLAND 12 The Bluebirds, in handing Hermia Rohrig an almost perfect first game scored in every period on spectacu- lar passes, and a vicious ground attack. Rohrig, in using lb players left no doubt, as his charges were never threatened on the offense as well as the defense - every man showed up well. The Sweeney'-to-Beech am combination di.splayed an attack that virtually could not be met. Beecham crossed the double stripe four times and collected two extra points, while Lohmeier, Brusnahan, and Sweeney each got one TD. x.f W C. 31 13 T The fireworks started early. On the third play of the game, Sueeney grabbed a stray Dwight aeriel and romped SS yards to pay dirt behind faultless blocking. Beecham grab- bed a toss from Sweeney and scored the second before the home team had a chance to figure things out. A few minutes later Becker pulled a ball out of the sky in a clrcus ca.tch and went the distance. The Birds led by 19 to O at the quarter. The remaining three quarters saw Trojan and his mates fight on even terms with Cathedral. le matched them score for score, with Beecham getting one and Becker the other. lhen the dust cleared Cathedral had clipped another undefeated club. Pg 4 G. 12 HASTINKB 38 As Napoleon had his Waterloo, and Caesar had his Brutus, so also does Cathedral have its Hastings. With two wins tucked under their belt, and a bright future ahead, the Birds were defeated in a humiliating first home game. With occasional spurts of defbnsivs power by Rice and Truman, the game wasn't ever a contest. Rice took a pass from over his head and neatly stepped his way to pay dirt for 'the second canto. Beecham took a short pass and hotfooted it into the prom- ised land. That was all the scoring power the Birds had, but they had learned a le son the never forgot. 97,716 M455 .

On the fourth play of the game Sweeney gathered in a punt and raced L15 yds. to score first. Kryger con- verted to make the score read 8-0. A few plays later Crotty engineered a TD for Norfolk. A dropkick tied the score. The Birds roared back setting up a Sweeney-to-Beecham pass which left us with a half-time lead. After the half Norfolk began to cut down the C. line. First came Truman, then Lohmeier, and finally Burns. The Red shirts took advan- tage of this and scored which made it 20-114. Accurate passing wet up the Birds next score, with Sweeney clinbing over for the TD. This tied the score and the Knights were never back in the game. The Birds were masters. Pg 35 C. 36 SEIARD 28 Although the Bluebirds scored' in every period and were never led, the visitors simply refused a lick- ing and threw a scare into highly favored Cathedral by turning in a magnificent second half. The initial frame saw a Rohrig aided machine pile up a wide gap as a 15 yard Sweeney-to-Beecham aerial drew first blood. Not to be outdone Kryger swept the end a few plays later for the second score. Bill Rice intercepted a stray pass and went 55 yards to score. At the half the birds led by a margin of 23-6. Following the intermission, a new bullpup team took the field,pushing across 2 double stripers before the birds got one, a Sweeney-to-Beecham masterpiece, once again a game de- fense was downed but sprang right back as Sweeney danced and shoved his way 50 yds. and the final score. 333 - '.aaC9o55m f i' Q!

L48 FALLS CITY gin o Taking a back seat, the first six watched a good reserve outfit steer themselves thru lowly Sacred Heartcf Falls City. Herm Rohrig pulled his regulars from the encounter as they prom tly scored twice in as many minutes. 'lhis however proved little comfort to Coach Brown as the seconds ran thru his charges at will. At the half the score read 26-9. It soon became evident that the juniors birds would have to slowdam if the game was to go the full time. The Birds in trying to prevent a score came up with some funny plays. But temptation finally gave way to action as Kryger scooted across the double stripe to stop the game. Pclg C. 33 TALMAGE 18 Cathedral slooged through Sherman and highly praised Talmage in their final home contest and a 33-18 win. The Talmage sextet, purply in the face as their uniforms, were swept off their feet as the Bluebirds turn- ed in a performance that Rohrig had waited for all season. In doing so the Birds pulled another towering upset which pushed them up again as a major six man grid machine. Cathedral scored first with a flat pass to Beecham who bulled his way to pay mud. Talmage took to theair and evened the count at 6-6. The birds roared back and ended in the Sweeney-to-Beecham touchdown. In the second stanza both teams scored with Sweeney slashing over from 2 yds out Following half-time Coach Rohrigs charges were masters for the remain- ing two periods mainly on Sweeney's runs which accounted for 2 more six points and a brilliant defensive led by Bill Rice and Freeman Burns. Talmage scored in the dying mo- ments, a well beaten team. C. 28 WILBUR 12 Cathedral polished a good recordto a bright gleam in bringing home the long desired victory of the Wolver- ines of Wilbur. The injury riddled Bluebirds shattered a 5 year losing Jinx which also ended grid rivalry between the two schools, for Wilbur is turning to ll man football next year. Again coaching and the fine play of the reserves was shown. Facing a certain onslaught the Birds used every play in outsmarting a stronger Wilbur, with Beecham drawing first blood followed by Sweeney. Both scored again on brilliant runs. The closing minutes produced many ex- citing moments for the home team as the faltering Bluebirds were punished with a ruthless physical beating. Pg 37 New Cathedral High Cog,-gg Rthedral r P t S 62.

Sl Louisville' 3 C. 29 College View 20 L13 Allowing but a short week for his boys to recover from a strenuous football season,' Cathedral's new hoop mentor, VINCE ALDRICH, called his first workout. Answering his call were 16 hopefuls including five regulars, Walentine The 'h8 exciting Beecham, Becker, Lohmeier, and O'Grady. 'h9 season produced many moments for the Bluebirds and numerous white hairs for Coach Aldrich. Although Vince emphasized and stressed teamwork through the entire campaign, his charges were lacking in that same department.But when the push-together spirit pre- vailed, the Birds swept through the opponents with superb demonstratmns of real basketball. Highlighting the season were such victories as Holy Trinity of Hart- ington, Wilber, and Concordia of Seward. While there were heart- breakers both Assumtion games, then Grand Island, and St.Joe of Omaha nearly convinced the Cathedralites that there is no justice in the maple sport. Naturally it was during the week of Jan. 19 that faith was restored in the Parochial Five, whice reailt- ed in four wins in as many days a- gainst one loss. This resulted in the Second Place Trophy in the Catholic Tourney and a win,pver Class B wiib-er. , 1 1 SX xgqqfzqfkl X I ' ' 'O I I Y. J,-0 . N 1?

A few of these notable honors are: Honorable Mention first string berth on the All-CatholicJTournament team, High City Scorer, and three awards from two newspapers. Big Jack was the workhorse of the team and handled himself very agily beneath both baskets. Helping Wally in the up- court was WFlippingn Phil Becker, a smooth ball-handler with a dead eye for long shots. Becker also landed a first string berth in the York Tourney and followed up his team- mate with a healthy 213 points. Becker and Jack alone accounted for over half of the Bluebird total, a record of 915 points. Unfortunately with the leaving of- six veterans via graduation, the 'I49-'50 club will be greatly hamper- ed. But a seasoned Reserve crew with O'Donnell, Rice, 0'Grady, and Trueblood will present a good team.
