This period has witnessed the most sweeping changes in all of Prep's colorful history. It was during these years that Prep emerged from its humble origin in the Cathedral Basef ment to the shining splendor of a new school-the complete transition from the Old to the New.' In conceiving this final farewell of the Class of '45 such was the motiif that inevif tably suggested itself. It is our humble hope that our graduation annual will preserve a bit of the old school which now fades away and that the turning of its pages in the years to come will arouse many a slumbering memory to vivid reality and will help us to recapture all but forgotten days. Here too we have endeavored to present Prep as we saw it in its day by day rise to its present glory for these are the scenes of our high school years and these are the scenes we wish to keep. joseph F.

Zlhhate SAINT PATRICKS PARISH Russ has served as class secretary during his Sophomore, junior and Senior years at Prep and we shall doubtless best remember him for his calm cheerful disposition and willingness to help in our varied class prof jects. Long planning to study for the priesthood, Russ took the first step toward his goal in june when he enrolled at Saint Charles' College. Euseph jliklartin Qllen SAINT ANDREW'S PARISH Joe might first impress one as a quiet serious lad given to poring over the vvellf worn pages of a textfbook but once he begins to talk these illusions are pleasantly shattered. Possessed of a nimble wit and a flair for the ridiculous, joe always manages to get around, has a level head and is now proving his adaptability to college life at Gannon. ZIBunalh ilames Blakely SAINT MARY'S PARISH Fair of hair and poetic of soul, Don was a labor agitator and a poet whose home' spun verse enshrined him in the hearts of Prep. As he leaves us we wish him the best of luck in his plans for the Naval Acaf demy at Annapolis. Bapmunh emerge Bliley SAINT JOHNS PARISH Remember our first retreat at Prep? 'Twas then Ray etched his lanky figure 'sans pants' on our memory and gained the kind of fame that lives on? A friendly grin, a sober serious outlook and a readiness to meet life as he finds it should carry Ray through his Navy hitch shipshape. len Blubn Eurgnpne SAINT PETER'S CATHEDRAL Courteous, considerate, reflective, LBugs' as a rule was actually quiet and attentive in class.

After the Navy he has his eye on Parks Engineering College and Meteorology. Bunalh Eames fiareull SACRED HEART PARISH We called him 'Knob' and we called him 'Lefty' when he joined us in our Sophomore year.

Ee Qrment BLESSED SACRAMENT PARISH 'Wally' came to Prep as a Sophomore and promptly found his place as our class photo' grapher. Studiously inclined and also socially minded Wally has enjoyed a real popularity wherever he goes. We nominate him as the class gentleman and are confident that whatever his calling after the war, he will do honor to his school and himself. Einbn Barrick Be Inca SAINT PATRICICS PARISH A threefyear letter man and Captain of the Basketball squad in his Senior year, 'Johnny' is one of Prep's bestfknown stu' dents. Nor does his fame rest on athletic ability alone for 'De Luc' can do a good job in the classroom and has also surprised us by turning out some pretty fine poetry. Johnny has always hoped to be a lawyer and not even the demands or Uncle Sam are likely to dissuade him-after the war he's headed for law school. , Binsepb Gillis ZBi ibrz SAINT JAMES PARISH DRIFTWOOD, PENNSYLVANIA Coming from romanticallyfnamed Drift' wood, Joe joined us for his Senior year. Quiet and industrious in school, he can reveal to us a whole world of knowledge about out' door life and sports learned from the woods of central Pennsylvania. We wish him well in his chosen career of engineering. ilkicharh G. ZBunnzIIp BLESSED SACRAMENT PARISH 'Fink' is an avid sports fan, football letterman and Captain of the Tennis Team, to say nothing of Sports Editor of the Rambf ler. A steady, dependable student, he is also our very own 'terribleftempered Mr. Bang'. Now at Gannon College, 'Fink' wishes to be a metallurgist. Ezsmnnh QE. Bagan 'Des' first put a spark in our eye when he made a success of himself on the gridiron in his Sophomore year. From then on we knew that 'Balloon' was to be the spice in our athletic stew and the light in our eye His 'brutal' humor and casual indifference to worry make him a marked man. Des is insouciant about his future-well anyways he won't tell us just what he has in mind but we wish him well.

As with all senior classes before us, our four years of high school have passed all too quickly but these memorable school days will always be enshrined in our minds. It is the way of every graduating class, doubtless, to claim for itself some distinction which marks it off from all others. The class of '45 has a special claim to such distinction. We knew the old Prep of the Cathedral basement and the Downing building, the old Prep of the overfcrowded study hall and cramped classrooms. We lived in the days when Prep played basketball on borrowed courts, hung its hat and coat on the back of the nearest chair, held its assemblies, ate its lunch, took its naps or studied its Latin in what might have been the biggest and certainly was the most interesting study hall in all the world. The only pool we knew was one in which an eight ball was used. Here somehow, someway, Prep established its reputation for scholarship and from those ink' splattered, battered walls, from Poet's Corner, from a few heapedfup reference volumes carelessly piled in a storage room, Prep graduates went to the best colleges and universities in the land and spread Prep's fame and name as a firstfclass school. Small wonder that a legion of loyal alumni moving their separate ways in business, professional and industrial life are proud of their Alma Mater! And we of this clas of '45 are proud too, proud that we knew the life of the old Prep. We are grateful that we share with those who went before us the same memories for we shall always understand the 'old grads' when they speak so fondly of the old Prep. Dehnitely we are of their number. The grand new Prep is ours too. We saw the first shovel of earth turned for its erection, eagerly watched a steam shovel excavate for our swimming pool, beheld majestic gothic walls slowly rise, awed, we looked on as artisans carefully placed exquisite stainedfglass windows in our magnificent library and gleefully we witnessed skilled craftsmen building for Prep the kind of a gym typical American boys dream about. In the old days of the catacombs it was often asserted that a line building does not make a school and Prep still holds to that principle. Prep standards of scholarship, Prep spirit of cameraderie, and the Prep boy's practice of his religion will go on in the new as it did in the old. We who stand at the crossroads are confident that the students of tomorrow will continue to uphold Prep scholarship, to preserve Prep spirit, to prof fess and practice their faith. This is the Prep tradition. May it always live! Now is the time and ours is the task of bidding farewell to so much of what we have loved. As Graduation Day dawns our class of seventyftwo numbers but forty! the rest are already in the service of our country. We who remain will soon join them. Flooded with cherished memories of the past and sobered by the prospect of the future, we bid farewell to Prep, to our school mates who are our friends, to the faculty who instructed and guided us, to the Bishop of Erie who was a father to us all.

He will tell you of the many uses of the Study Hall-Pete Schaaf, jim Mahoney, L'Fink Donnelly and Ray Oldach often used it as an improvised gymnasiumg Irish Lewandowski, Jack Hiegel and Ronald Carroll used it asa dormitory, often to be rudely awakened by the unholy slaps from the Father's thick breviaryg the unforgetable incident long to be remembered was the time Milker Seth turned it into a target range by decorating the white walls with the conf tents of an ink bottle, the study Hall was daily transformed into a cafeteria by the ever hungry Bob Hammer and Gerry Hintenach, partaking of nourishment anytime between eleven and two o'clock. Many of the boys who later in life manned the big Army and Navy can credit some of their accuracy to their early Study Hall training with paperwads and fruit. At times the Study Hall took on the appearance of an exclusive club as Skip Simmons, Bill Schultz, Joe Allen and Carl Schultz rolled the bones in the corner. Longest remembered perhaps will be the times when it was turned into an assembly hall during Quarter Sessions. At these times our boys jack Young, Thaddeus Sokolowski and jasper Rath always received honors. To sit in on one of our Study Halls would be an unforgettable fortyfhve minutes. In one corner you would see Moose Miller, joe Kress, i'FuzzY Mantz and Bob Fessler relating the colorful and somewhat doubtful details of the best Saturday night party in town. Suddenly Balloon Dugan rises and most skillfully heaves a banana peel halfway across the room on Ray Fetzner's Latin paperg then a loud moaning will commence as Jack Flatley is put on his knees for talking-the Prefect of the Study Hall probably knelt in the same place not so many years ago. The moaning from all present which can be heard as a Prep boy is being punished is only one of many unique ways used in the Study Hall in expressing one's views. Those who came after us know the benefits of a new and beautiful school, but they know nothing of the Study Hall which was the birthplace and the cradle of the matchless and unconquerable Prep spirit-the Study Hall which has seen more than six hundred gangly boys enter its dull white portals, take places at its battered and hand' carved desks, and leave four years later as poised and cultured young men, ready to be' gin the serious business of life. The old Study Hall is no morevgone is the creaking wooden floor, its rough uneven white walls, its Poet's Corner , its Penitentiary Row and its Crooks Corner. Gone are the echoes of the songs and the shouts and the laughter and gone is the comradef ship which was fostered there. Yes, the old Study Hall has disappeared and in its place we see a shining modern cafeteria, but in our minds the old Study Hall shall ref main forever, for it was not just a room in the basement of the Cathedral, but it is a memory and an institution-it is the Prep we shall never forget. john Held '45 i 1945 Litevulae KAIWLLQL Gig ZQCL UQVJ 60 Kke Qowninq gfouse . gr. .Mifleris Office Science .gags gilze Original! .giemry 1945 Litefrulae Qffyige-Cgyeg greshmen We Saw gr. .Miner .Break grourzg for Che gong Quromiseg jbrep ...df was Ocfober 14, 1941 Gfzzg We gof a grae Gffferrzomz 1945 Litefrulae A Srninr ZKPIEIIIE Qin illrrnhman Bags They were four years ago . . . but now as we look on those 'days of long ago' they do not seem that far away.

QUARTER 3125510 1945 Litevulae Quarter Qessiuns at rep Quarter Sessions is a distinct feature of Prep school education and nothing quite like it is to be found in the schedules of other schools of our acquaintance. Honored by the presence of the Bishop of Erie who never fails to attendfindeed Quarter Sessions couldn't be held without him-it is an occasion when students receive recognition and reward for scholastic achievement, when impromptu speeches are made winding up with a passionate appeal for a free afternoon, The Bishop always gives a friendly little talk and while managing to put the issue of a free afternoon in considerable doubt, has never yet been known to turn us down-God bless him! Their first Quarter Sessions find Freshmen truly a bewildered group of grade school boys. Having never witnessed the event before, they look on widefeyed and almost uncomprehending. But gradullly sheer delight takes hold of them for here all the goodffeeling, all the spirit of comradeship in a boy is enkindled and brought into flame. It is here that they get to know Bishop Gannon as no other group of boys can. He talks their language, encourages them in their school work, holds forth glowingly the possibilif ties of success and distinction in professional and business life, thrills and inspires them with a pride in their schoolftells good jokes and makes them prove their claims to the traditional free day. A bright interlude in the steady routine of school life, Quarter Sessions provides one of our most eagerlyfawaited 'breaksf No Prepster from incoming Freshman to grad' uating Senior ever becomes too sophisticated to enjoy the program. Examinations are scarcely over before teachers are beseiged with the question: When's Quarter Sessions? and there is no real tranquillity or peace about the halls of Prep until it is held. It is one of the Hnest memories we take with us from Prep, that it will always be a feature of Prep goes without saying. 1945 Litevulae when Q32 Oykre Soplzomores M Sep- iember 1942 W' .Much gfappenezp . . . gjearf gfarborf . . . jafaanf . . . file Cgmflre Gian of '42 60 Qyar , . . .Bai mar Seemeg gm gram Us . . . ggeshmen jfo .Eorzqerf . . . .gnifiafionf . . . file fnlaffs Clze yfew School Began 60 TRIM . . . gzze Gorzzersfone Was Baia . . .

Miller, M. A., Litt. D., would no longer guide the destinies of Cathedral Prep. Professor of English at Prep in the days of its founding, Father Miller returned as Headmaster imbued with the Prep spirit, sympaf thetic to its traditions and gifted with an understanding of students and their ways. Headf master during a critical period of transition Father Miller directed Prep safely through its expanding years, increased its faculty and student body threefold, supervised the erection of the new structure and gently managed at the same time to preserve the lovef able cherished features of the old Prep in the strange surroundings of the new.

A., Superintendent of Schools in the Diocese of Erie. As grade school students in the parochial schools of the city we recalled his frequent visits to our classrooms and thus he comes to Prep as no stranger to us. Father McDonald becomes Headmaster of Cathedral Prep at the most promising period in its history. The new building, now fully completed is one of the finest structures in the United States and atnthis writing its student body is the largest it has ever been. Wl1ile maintaining the high scholastic standards for which the institution has always been noted, Prep now embarks upon athletic and cultural activities its limited facilities hitherto prohibited. To Father McDonald the departing senior class extends its conf gratulations and good wishes in the important work that lies before him and pledges to him its loyal support as Alumni of the best school in America. 1945 Litevulae file Qyeeks gyew .By . . . ana ine gfurn ant, .Trane of Gfassroom anfj Siuay- lza!! was Bosf gn flze Sfeaay Qounainq of Qusneg Workman . . .

A class that once Cin Freshman daysj numbered over one hundred and ten now has eightyfthree members. During the present school year, ours was the privilege of sponsoring the first dance to be held in our spacious new gymnasium. A benefit affair, to secure funds for the publication of the Rambler, it was a complete success both Hnancially and socially and served to introduce the high school people of the city to the rnagnihcent new Prep setfup. subsequently, we staged two more dances and a party in addition to encouraging and participating in many intrafmural sports. The traditional activity of the Junior class, the editing and publishing of the Prep Rambler, has been carried on this year under the guidance of Father Sperry and we have had the satisfaction of learning that Prep's school paper has been like a letter from home to scores of our alumni now in the service in all parts of the earth. This year, too, we inauguarated a tradition which we hope will die only with Prep: the sponsoring of a dance and party in honor of the departing senior class. I Successful as our undertakings have uniformly been, we realize very well that in every project we have received support of all the classes and we thank them all. It's that sort of spirit that makes Prep a pretty Hne school. P Charles Colvin, '46 Class President. ..- 1... mga? gi: . www, -3925 f A' ,G ' . ,A ,W g N.

Our first activity, strictly informal, was the initiation of the Freshmen. In this important matter we didn't wait. The first day of school the Freshmen were as red as Indians. In gym and classrooms, in halls and on the street, wherever Freshmen were to bg found they were promptly stopped and properly introduced to Prep ways and Prep li e. A few months later a dancing class was in the making and after the details were worked out, regular classes under expert instruction were held weekly. About fifty boys enrolled and with the Sophomores of Villa Maria Academy we met every Monday night for sixteen weeks at the Erie Dance Academy. The gracious Villa Sophomores by their cofoperation-indeed by their very presence !-insured the success of the project from the very beginning. After the Christmas vacation, plans were launched for the Sophomore social event of the year, 'The Snow Shoe Shuiilef Chairmen were selected for each section of the class and each chairman was to circulate the tickets in his own group while other classmen could buy tickets from any Sophomore. On Friday evening, January 26th, one of the largest crowds ever to attend a Prep function gathered in our new gym. As a gesture of welcome to the students of other city high schools, decorations in the colors of all Erie's schools were used. The music that evening was furnished by Jim Modica and his orchestra. After the dance things calmed down and soon a library science course was held. We spent one day in the library while the rest of the instruction on library use was given in the regular English classes. Sister Ellen Francis,the school librarian assisted Father Daniszewski in the course and as a result we are now prepared to make more intelligent use of our Bishop's beautiful library. In the making now is a Sophomore dancing party and a Sophomore intrafmural basketball league. The party, a joint project of the Villa and Prep Sophomore classes will be held at the Villa and we are anticipating a good time as guests of our dancing partf ners! james White, '47 Class President. fsmm fswglvghgsgwegf I -1-:,'sivi2'ffX E912 55522412 Wie! 11 F-VT Wig 292 sie!-:mix-,L Q5g9g1m' - If-19,Y,x,f,f,,:f,,-,, sf w M- Wvsff ML gf '94 ww, . ,,. r1?i9i . s . .., ., :i .i'2 '-,,': : .- ,ay W1 4 - .

In the fall of '44 they entered Cathedral Prep little knowing what the Sophomores might do to them. Some courageous Freshmen learned to fight back but they soon learned better. School work has not been too hard but the Latin students wished they had taken science. For a while the homework seemed to be a laughing matter to some but they learned differently. Many of our number did well in the J. V. tryfouts. Ray Droney played first string halffback and was a good one too, while a lot of others showed they had the stuff to put them on the varsity in another year. During the dedication we were granted about four free days which broke the strain of school work. Then when we came back we found the pool and gym opened for the first time and that eased the strain considerably too. In November we had out first taste of exams and quarter sessions. The latter wound up with a free afternoon and we decided that was line but the exams could have been left out. In November Class elections were also held and john Hubbard was elected Presif dentg James Hausman, VicefPresidentg Paul Speice, Secretary and Mike Palmisano, Treaf surer. Then in December we had the greatest snowstorm ever. School closed for about a week. The Christmas vacation was followed by more exams but this time we were free when we did'nt have a test and we likedfthat. 3They were pretty tough, as many found out-woe to them! In February the boys got together and laid plans for the hrst class function, a dance to be held on April 6th. We decided to name it 'Spring Swingf On the afternoon of April 6th jerry Tann and his committee invaded the gym with decorations and when we returned that night it really looked swell. Red, white and blue streamers were strung from basket to basket and an American flag hung at the far end of the gym made the whole thing look very patriotic. And here we should record our thanks to the senior class for their wonderful support. They really got behind us almost one hundred per cent. Nine to midnight went too darn fast and before we knew it the best dance of the year was over. And now here we are, crawling to the end of the third quarter and more exams. Guess we'd better put this imitation of a class history away and study. So long! john Hubbard, '48 Class President. 1945 Litefrulae imquiescat in Race ibrep Zfannur Svtuhent Burn Qugust 30th 1929 Qlintereh iBrep beptemher lst 1943 151271 March 28th, 1945 laugh Jfrannis ilaipp fy gsm DM , , - 3 W, W f, ,4 ' 'M ' .sf is 1 iz- . 1.,Q',.1, 5 ,xfsss-5 4?--352' W: H- --2 ,W ta, 1, N Ww.,,.........mm-W ,W Q si: - U if ai ,az Q 3- ' v Q, , , .4,,.

To make a sad story short, we lost all our games. For a more lengthy discussion of this matter we refer you to Ray Fetzner's article 'On Losing Football Games' elsewhere in this book. Although it was not what could be called a successful season it was a good one. For two reasons: first of all, none of the fellows lost their spirit or confidence, and secondly, even though we didn't win, we did produce some outstanding athletes. Jim Mahoney, our star guard, was given a firstfstring berth on the allfstate teamg Ray Oldach and jim both made first honors on Erie's allfcity team and others received second place and honor' able mention. And our jVs learned lessons that will help to put Prep in the winning column next time. Prep's future in football now lies with these fellows and every member of last year's Varsity is wishing them luck!

Miiigled in with these games were independent contests with St. Mriryls, Lackawanna and Corry. In Mrirch we entered the Catholic finals, representing the Erie Diocese. Cur first game was with Johnstown of the Altoona Diocese, whom we trimmed 37 to 22.

During the season our quintet had real support behind them and even at outfoff town games the traditional Prep loyalty to its teams was evidenced by large crowds of rooters. Prepsters and nonfPrepsters who attended the games were glad they did. All realized that the past season marked the beginning of Prep's longfpromised bright future in athletics. Under Mr. Yezerski basketball at Prep has many golden years ahead.

Upon completion of the gym and pool, however, every student at Prep had incorporated into his regular scholastic schedule four periods per week in the physical education departf ment. Under Reverend William R. Hastings, Director of Athletics at Prep, Mr. Florian 'LSam Yezerski, and Mr. Regis Sox Harrison were named instructors. Mr. Yezerski, a graduate of Notre Dame and former basketball star at the South Bend institution, came to Prep after several years experience in New York schools where he was particularly successful as a basketball coach. Mr. Harrison, after studies at Niagara, completed his preparation at Battle Creek Physical Education School at Battle Creek, Michigaii. For a score of years he has been in charge of physical education at Edinboro State Teachers College and is widely famed in this section for his summer camps for boys on Edinboro Lake. Thus with two experienced instructors Prep's Physical Ed program got away to a fine start. Those who expected to Hnd gym and pool periods all play soon learned that like classroom activities, this was work too, that certain standards were demanded and must be met. Drill, calisthenics, awimming and diving and skillful direction in all indoor sports found their place in the setfup. By the organization of intrafmural sports, compef tition between various class groups was encouraged and at last Prep students felt that they were in the swim athletically with all the schools in town. Peter Schaaf '45 1945 Litevulae Sox warms Kham up Samn Goofs Kham 1945 Litefrulae 41911 losing Jfuuthall ames Most schools are proud of their winning teams. Not us. We haVen't any. In fact we don't want any. There are thousands of schools throughout the land boasting of their victories-and practically none boasting of their losses. This alone is something to be proud of. Aside from that, we have other reasons for losing our games. We beamingly look upon other schools as our close friends and we like to encourage them by allowing them to beat us,-imagine how awful they'd feel if we beat them! This disposition makes us wellfliked by the other schools, and after all, popularity is important. We'd rather be wellfliked losers than hated winners. Of course, we have our victories too. Moral ones-our games always end in them. And morality is higher than mere sports isnlt it? A sufficiently weighty concentration of brawn can, and I might say does, push us all over the field. But a moral victory! Ah! That's a different matter! Not that you have to be moral to gain a moral victory, of course. On the other hand it isn't necessary to be immoral to lose one either. But that's neither here nor there and not wishing to be either place, let's return to the subject: why the world is becoming more immoral.. Oops! I mean, why we like to lose our games. Well, most schools like to win games. Seems it makes them feel their team is a good one. That's not nesessary for us. We know we have a good team. No need for paltry victories to prove it. Our gallant boys could beat any team they wish, but they choose not to. Occasionally, I must admit, one of our teams forgets itself and wins a game. But it really doesnlt happen often and the fellows feel bad about it and they almost always get back in form the very next game. Ah! Yes! Our teams are indeed remarkable and though dark hints are abroad that all this might be changed, up to now anyways, no one can say that Prep has been just an ordinary school!
