On that day, john Mark Cannon was ordained a priest and began his work of bringing Christ to the souls entrusted to his care. He was consecrated a Bishop on February 6, 1918 and installed as Ordinary of the Diocese of Erie on December 16, 1920. From then till now, His Excellency has been recognized as an outstanding spiritual and civic leader of the city. The Bishop can point with pride and a sense of satisfaction to the many institu- tions he has founded, be they educational or charitable. His personal example and encouragement has been the strong motivating force behind the large number of vocations to the priesthood and sisterhood. Thus 1951 is a golden jubilee year for our Bishop, the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination. Reflection on his work quickly shows that these years have been golden indeed. As a tribute for the outstanding period of service to Cod and to souls, we of the Class of '51 proudly and gratefully dedicate the 1951 Literulae to His Excellency, Bishop John Mark Cannon. n 5 Y W Y x lx .

FRIENDS ARE GOD'S GREATEST GIFT Bishop McManaman, Auxiliary Bishop of the Dio- cese of Erie, has always been a familiar figure to all Prep boys. He has spoken to us occasionally on Friday mornings during the past year. A member of the Executive Board of the school and donor of the annual oratorical medal, His Excellency continues to show great interest in us and the school, even though his allegiance must. be a divided one be- tween Prep and St. Ioseph's in Oil City where the Bis- hop is Pastor. The Literulae, in tribute to His Excellency, extends a warm thank you for his friendship and kindly guidance. Most Reverend EDWARD P. MCMANAMAN, D.D., S.T.D.

Erie can well be proud of many beautiful landmarks. The Prep school must certainly be one of the most outstanding in a city noted for its cleanliness and culture. ' The old Downing building housed the offices and some of the classrooms of the old Prep school. The house was razed in 1940 to make way for the con- struction of the new school. The entrance to the Youth Activities Department opens on a world which appeals to boys of every age. The youths of this community spend many happy hours in good clean recreation. The school's athletic program is only part of a general plan of youth activity for all the Catholic boys of the city. i l .li The graduate of 1951 moves into a life where his decisions must be reached on the basis of an international order. The world is his concern, as it is for the millions who now combat the forces of aggression and error.. Young Americans are con- cerned for the survival of their way of life. We, who claim youth and confidence as our indispensible tools for bringing peace and unity among all nations, realize that international, discord stems from individual inadequacies. The panacea of universal education has failed to right the wrong in many instances, largely .because the so-called universal education was a numerical rather than a total or complete training of the student. The result has been a half-educated person, as incapable of grasping the significance behind the current struggle of free peoples for survival against numerically superior forces, as he was of learning that love of God antedates and overshadows even the most enlightening scientific advances of recent years. Today's youth seeks a sense of values which can help him to act in accordance with the demands of the moral order. Skills will never equip a man with the necessary means for right living. Know howf' while it most certainly 'must be acquired for any complete education, can never take the place of i'know why. The latter gives fullness and meaning to education, the former remains either a means to' an end or an unsatisfactory end in itself. The two together, however, constitute acomplete or total education. - The Prep .Education places Religion as the crown of scholastic training. All other 'subjects and activities are subordinate. The complete Prep education may be said to embrace those subjects and activities which aid in the acquisition of knowl- edge, skills, and attitudes for good Christian living here and eternal happiness hereafter. With Prep as a background, the theme of a Catholic X education is symbolized in Our Lady of Prep, the entrance f to the Church, and the stately spires of the Cathedral Devotion to Mary, prayer directed heavenward to God and angopen heart for good are the main qualifications fof ' the real Prep student.

If there is one pleasant point in the youthful life, it is that moment when the last bell sounds. The picture of the Wednesday night dance at St. Mary's reflects the light-hearted spirit of the Prepsters. Social grace and ease are learned through recreational opportunities such as this one and the many others under Catholic auspices. The Boston Store Cafeteria seems to be a favorite after-school convention hall for the high school youths of the city. Time is taken to exchange stories and accounts of the day's trials just ended. College Inn is always a popular after-the-dance spot for Prep boys and their dates. The time spent here always spells a fitting climax to the many hours and miles danced away in four years. To the left is an aerial view of Erie-the town which has shel- tered Prep since its beginningsg a community which benefits from its schools and the service they give in training youth for adult- hood.

Proper care and guidance make the difference between adjust- ment and failure. True Christian charity finds no greater expression than in Christ's words, whatsoever you do to one of these, My least brethren, you do to Me. St. Ioseph's Home for Children rests on a solid base of love for the homeless who need every opportunity for a good start in society. :gwwN,4sE,f,f' 5'.'ffi1M ,.tlv'i'1E.5,1V31f. r,i4Yl.l,1V I .

MCDONALD, M.A. Headmaster of Cathedral Prep Everyone agrees that the reputation of Cathedral Prep as a school redounds to the credit of its able Headmaster, Monsignor Robert B. McDonald, who supervises the education of 800 boys. The Headmasteris work embraces the endless chain of detail which is removed from and unnoticed by the casual visitor at Prep. It is his primary duty to determine school policy, formulate effec- tive rules, facilitate the orderly functioning of the school. Besides these primary duties, there are many others which con- sume an equal amount of the Monsignor's time. His is the final word on the acceptance of students, he must be present at all school functions, and he is always on hand to consult with in- terested parents. Monsignor McDonald's Irish wit and pleasant smile aid immensely in helping him maintain the balance required for every good school administrator. His administrative ability makes him a very capable Headmaster. The Headmaster must End time for many activities during a day at Prep. In the first picture he glances up from a desk well covered with the paper work which requires careful study. The affairs of student government necessitates his meeting with members of the Student Council. At faculty meetings he must direct the policy and provide the spark which keeps his teachers working at full capacity. At pep rallies, he gives encouragement to the boys on the team. LL L WFUL UTHORITY. Father Daniel J. Martin, Faculty Advisor to the Senior class, is better known as Dean of Studies and Director of Student Guidance. Attaining a Master's Degree in Education last summer at Notre Dame, Fr. Martin returned to Prep this year with a more complete knowledge of the intri- cacies of school administration. As advisor to the Senior class, Fr. Martin also directs the Senior Play and the Yearbook, along with other numerous duties which fall upon the shoulders of an Assistant Headmaster. Making the students toe the markv is just one of Father Francis D. Gallaghefs many tasks as Dean of Discipline. Always a stern but just individual, which is one of the requirements of a person holding this position, he is also the genial faculty advisor for the Student Council and capable Coach of the cross country team. Fr. Gallagher regularly evi- dences keen interest in the many varied. activities which are part of the Prep day. The Assistant Headmasters keep busy at their desks, at least for part of the day. Student discipline and guidance offer little opportunity for Fathers Gallagher or Martin to com- plain about its being too quiet at Prep. Schedules, attendance, regulations, and inter- views are their main concern. Rev. Robert T. Dempsey Rev. Vincent L. Enright A.B. M.A. V Rev. Richard F. Fitzgerald Rev. Francis D. ,Gallagher I M.A. A.B. Rev. Thomas M. Plunkett Rev. Robert J. Reilly M.A. ' M.A. RELIGIIIN AND OCIAL SCIENCE When we consider the one essential subject in our daily sched- ule, the first one our mind falls upon is Religion and its ally, Social Studies. The things we learn in these classes, to be put into prac- tice at all times, will be carried with us until death. If a man remembers nothing of his Math, Science, or English, he will still achieve his eternal reward if he only remembers and puts into practice his religious training.. You may wonder how Social Studies-History and Social Prob- lems, to be exact-fit into this religious picture. Buthistory is a study of events of the past, and there is no greater series of events than Christ's birth and public life. Thus in conjunction with our history course, we learn the history of the Church down through the ages. Senior Social Problems gives us an insight into our present and future moral and social life. In this way, as we leave Prep's corridors, we take with us sound teachings in the most important subject we shall ever encounter. Fifteen professors, headed by Father Fitzgerald, who teaches junior History and Senior Social Problems, .ably staff the Religion and Social Studies departments. The following teachers instruct the remainder of the students: Fathers Daniszewski, Dempsey, DeWalt, Enright, Gallagher, Geddes, Konstanzer, Martin, Mc- Kone, Plunkett, Reilly, and Sperry, Sr. Ramona, and Mr. Strosser. It is the job of these professors to guide and advise all students under their charge. Always bear in mind that the only complete education is a religious education and that an education without Religion may be compared to a car without a motor. In other words, without God we have nothing. However, on the basis of what we have been taught at Prep, we should be fully prepared to go into the World when the time comes. Father Sperry holds an informal discussion with a few of his students in Social Problems. Current affairs receive great attention in this class. At- the right, Father Dempsey explains erosion to his Freshman class in Economic Problems. The social sciences equip the student with the necessary back- ground for a complete understanding of today's world.. v- Qs smmwAmwsmmawes.-. -s..r,,s.:.auaw.mmmsa., M . -1-: W - Excluding the religious courses at Prep, Mathematics is the most important subject in the curriculum. Of course, the other departments have justified arguments, but from a neutral stand- point, Math has a commanding lead in the Held of importance. Math teaches us to think, and a person who can think will succeed in anything he attempts. Then of course, while we won't use everything We learn, there are countless formulae and short- cuts that we use every day. Here at Prep, we have courses in Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, and Advanced- Math. All these are taught by well-trained -teachers. Heading the list is Sister Ade- laide, who taught third year Algebra and Advanced Math this year. The remainder of the department consists of Father Konstanzer, and Sisters Bonaventure, Camilla, -Gertrude, Margaret Mary, and Mary Elaine. ' Sr. Adelaide points out an equation to her class in Advanced Algebra. At right, Sr. Gertrude moves through her Freshman group and checks their Algebra problems. Teachers of Mathematics at Prep labor conscientiously to give their students the proper grasp of fundamentals. Sister M. Adelaide p O.S.B., M.A. - Rev. George J. Konstanzer O.S.F.S., A.B. Sister M.

In any type of business or profession, if a man canit put into words what he wants to say, he assuredly will have rough sledding. On the other hand, the man who can put across his thoughts and ideas in a clear and interesting manner 'is worth his weight in gold to his employer. To develop men such as this is the aim of the Prep English Department. Grammar rules, vocabulary words, models, poetry, essays, speeches-they all play a part in this process. For if we master all these things and combine them with a little intelligence, we will have no trouble securing a good job. In charge of the four year English course at Prep is Father Daniszewski, who has Senior English. Instruct- ing the underclassmen are Father McKone and Sisters Bonaventure, DePaul, Dulcia, Stanislaus, and Virginia. Sister Dulcia, professor of Sophomore English, listens attentively as one of her students gives his recitation. The English teacher at Prep gears his course to the demands of professional life and must place equal emphasis on oral as well as written English. The newspaper and yearbook offer excellent avenues for practical experience in journalism. AND MODERN LANGUAGE Under the somewhat misleading classification of modern languages, come such subjects as 'Greek and Latin, in addition to Spanish, German, and French. Normally the first two are considered dead languages, but to a boy with the priesthood in mind they are the keys to realms of knowledge. Latin- is not altogether restricted to future priests, but it is studied by' many students primarily for its aids in other studies. Most teachers regard Latin as the subject most bene- ficial to a good vocabulary since more words found in our English are 'derived from this language than from any other. Sister Patricia, teaching Freshmen neo- phytes, is the Dean of the Latin department. Also in- structing Freshmen is Sister Bonaventure, while Sister Ramona teaches all second year students. Father Sperry has the pleasure of guiding Iuniors and Seniors through Cicero and Vergil. Greek, which is a required subject for all seminarians, is in the hands of ,Father Geddes. This course has the distinction of comprising the least number of students, usually less than two dozen scholars. The fine German course is taught by Sister Adelaide and Sister Virginia, both of whom are highly capable of teaching this difficult language. It is a help to prospec- tive college students, who will find many reference books Written in German. The language which will prove very helpful to students is Spanish because of the proximity of the Spanish-speaking Pan-American countries. Sister Mary Brigid and Sister Dulcia direct this two-year course. Last, but not least of the modern languages taught at Prep, is French. Sister Cherubim patiently strives to inculcate a proficient knowledge of the French lan- guage in her pupils. With such efficient teachers as these, Prep's language courses can hold their own with those found in any other school. Sister Cherubim utilizes the chart as a means of testing vocabulary. Visual aid plus memory serve to combine and give the word fuller meaning in the learning of French. The two-year language course is an absolute requirement for graduation from Cathedral Prep.

Falling into the science category are general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Since the completion of at least one science course is required for graduation, Prep makes a special effort to provide the students with a capable teacher and up-to-date equipment. Father DeWalt has the interesting General Science course, which is available to all Freshmen. It deals with elementary stages of all phases of science. I Heading a group of three Oblate science teachers is Father Stout, who is in charge of the Biology depart- ment. This subject is taken by many Sophomores and Rev. Daniel I. Martin S.T.B., M.S.Ed. Rev. Robert M. McNally O.S.F.S., A.B., S.T.L. Rev. Edmond B. Stout O.S.F.S., A.B. any other students who have the medical profession in mind. The Chemistry course is taught by Father Hartlove, who had first-hand experience in that field. All except classical students are required to take Chemistry. Father McNally, genial Dean of Physics, has all Seniors and a portion of the Juniors under his instruc- tion. The students learn all about 'the intricacies of weight, pulleys, air, water, electricity, and many other things. The greatest delight for any boy is to tinker. The science courses build upon that desire through planned lecture-laboratory techniques. Here Father McNally explains one of the gadgets in Physics class to two interested students. ' mammax:l The most enjoyable and yet exceedingly helpful course in the Prep curriculum is manual arts, which teaches while the students are not weighted down by books and homework. Art, Mechanical Drawing, Typ- ing, Music, and Physical Education comprise this de- partment. Sister Assumpcia, the Hrst Felician to come to Prep, teaches Art to those who are talented in that field and Mechanical Drawing which is an asset to prospective architects. Although Typing has been offered to Prep- sters for only three years, Sister Alexia has firmly estab- lished it as a necessary subject. In college or in busi- MANUAL ARTS ness, students will have use for the dexterity acquired here. The Music Department, consisting of the Band and Chorus, has made rapid strides since its beginning. Mr. Gerzina has directed the band in its excellent marching formations and the chorus in the operetta to highlight activities of these two groups. Under the supervision of Mr. Detzel and Mr. Hobie, Prep offers excellent facilities for the finest Physical Education course in the city. Also under Athletics comes Father Cannon, who, as Athletic Director, has the task of guiding the overall sports program at Prep. Typing is offered at Prep for the student's personal use. College students iind this ability extremely helpful in preparing assignments. Sr. Alexia teaches the sublect at Prep. She is pictured above at work with her class. Rev. James I. Cannon Sister M.

STANLEY MICHAEL AUGUSTYNIAK Holy Trinity - Mickey Behind the wheel of his trusty '84 Chevie, Mickey was always the re- liable one who saw to it that The Rambler was rushed to its readers.

GERALD JAMES BOVA St. Patrick? - Jerry Jerry's captivating smile is as much a part of him as his array of clothes. His sport life consists of a fast game of basketball, and in the social field, Jerry was tops. His plans for the future are to own JAMES AUGUST BALDAUF St. Petefs - Baldi Besides possessing a happy-go lucky personality, Baldi has been one of Prep's better students.

CHARLES EDWARD BURGER Holy Rosary - Chuck A man of few words, Chuck's in- fluence on our class spirit was nevertheless great. Besides, we have no doubt that the energy saved in silence was put to good use, for he was a letterman on both the cross-country and wres- tling teams. Chances are the future will ana' him behind the counter. in your neighborhood drug store. JOHN WARD CAMPBELL St. Petefs - lack No, Jack was not born with that cue in his hand, and his talents aren't limited to the billiard parlor. He possesses the rare ability to make lifetime friends, and Jack employed his cooperative spirit to support every type of Prep activity. Although undecided about his fu- ture, Jack's resourcefulness will carry him through. JOHN MICHAEL BURICK St. Mark's - John An honor student, Denny also helped to spark our very success- ful cross-country and intramural basketball teams. Never given to shouting his own praises, 'John worked quietly and diligently, thus contributing to the improvement of his class and of Prep as a whole. No need to worry about this lad's futurel PATRICK THOMAS CAGNOLI St. Pamckk - Pat Pat has made many an unofficial record sprinting for the moming bus. The fact that it is usually loaded with, St. Benedict's lassies seems to bring out the best in him. A constant patron of St. Mary's dances, Pat is never at a loss on the dance floor.

His winning smile and Eve o'clock shadow have been a familiarsight in the halls of Prep. If Uncle Sam beckons, his recent and rueful brushes with reveille will stand him in good stead. JOSEPH CLAIR COCHRAN St. Anrfs - Corky Although quiet and retiring at times, Corky's all-round good na- ture won him a host of friends in his days at Prep.

Al- though his future plans are unde- cided, Tom will probably attend Gannon College. JAMES CHRISTOPHER DAHLKEMPER Sacred Heart - Jim This young man of the Texas strut and hearty smile has proven the friendliest of fellows. He was an outstanding 'guard on this year's championship club. Iim was in- jured in the Academy game, but it was not until he had sparked the line with his great defensive play. He intends to study land- scape gardening. Q LEONARD JOSEPH CYTERSKI Holy Trinity - Cy Cy is Prep's proud boast of a real man. Definitely a man of action, Silent Cy was an all-city athlete in football, basketball, track, and baseball, and to round out his list of accomplishments, he was a con- sistent honor student, class officer, member of Student Council and the Yearbook staff, and an ideal Catholic.

Irish has not yet decided upon a career, he feels that Uncle Sam may soon settle his future. We know that, whether serviceman or civilian, Bob will do well. Tommy's popularity was evidenced by the loud cheering whenever he dropped his famous set shot through the nets. Possibly his basketball ability stems from his favorite subject, mathematics, which no doubt aids him in calculating the distance and angles from hand to hoop.

A consistent honor student, he has boasted an average of nine- ty or better more than ten times since his freshman year.

THOMAS FRANCIS FORTSCH Sts. Cosmas and Damian, Punxsutawney - Hessy Coming to Prep in our Senior year for post-graduate work, Tom proved himself a loyal Prepster and a hard-working student.

THOMAS JAMES FORDHAM St. Petefs - Tom Whenever a joke was told, Tom was there. T holds Prep and YMCA swimming records, was a lifeguard, and gave a concert with the Erie Philharmonic.

In either case, jovial Bob should have little trouble in his chosen field. DONALD JAMES FROMKNECHT . Saint Mary's - Don Don is a true Prepster with an abundance of school spirit.

ROBERT EDWARD KURTZ St. Ioseplfs Home - Bob Boys should be seen and not heard is probably the motto that Bob follows. Although a reticent .Rambler in the classroom, he re- versed his policy long enough to represent the class in the 1949 Oratorical Contestq He was a ca- pable basketball player and track man. Certainly, Bob will bring honor to his school in later life. t 55 ?

We're all sure Bill will do well in the bus- iness field. ANTHONY CHARLES LITTLE St. Michaefs - Boots Boots has a passport that will gain him admittance anywhere- his smile. There is always a cer- tain gayety in the air when Boots is around.

GEORGE RONALD LA FOREST St. Julia's - Ronnie Although he came to us from Warsaw, Indiana, Ronnie quickly nested himself into the Prep pat- tern. He attended almost every social affair and was a leading contender in the jalopy fad.

Rich planned to raise thoroughbreds in Michigan, but more mature consideration prompts him to study business at Notre Dame, JAMES ANTHONY MEANS Blessed Sacrament - Barney'i Unlike the jet planes, Ji.m's car could be heard long before it was seen.

STEPHEN CHARLES NEMERGUT St. Patrickfs' - Son Steve makes his presence felt in a classroom, not by noise or dis- order, but by his quiet studious- ness. For recreation, Steve takes to the fields and streams to in- dulge in his favorite sports of hunt- ing and fishing. His future plans aren't complete, but his persever- ance should help him attain that goal. JOSEPH ANTHONY MRAZ St. Ann's - Ice Joe is proud of being one of Fa- ther Geddes' Boys.

KENNETH CARL SCHMITT St. Andrew's - Ken When Ken leaves, we'll miss the sight of his small, black pick-up truck almost as much as Ken him- self, for the two were inseparable.

MARIO PETER SCIBETTA St. Petefs - Mar A truer Prepster would be diffi- cult to find. In Mar we have an excellent wrestler, capable col- umnist, talented pianist, faithful class oliicer, and consistent honor student.

Besides, he was very active on behalf of the Sea Scouts, and his interest in sports prompted his superb performances in intra- mural basketball. With his pleas- ant nature, and a helping hand for all, Jerry should become a noted physician in Erie. PAUL ALFRED SLATER Holy Redeemer, Warren, Pa. Cfsleepn Four years ago, Sleep came to us from Warren in quest of his vocation. In spite of his nick- name, he proved very wide awake, and excelled as a distance runner. Unable to participate in regular competition, he became a manager. When Paul iinally dons the cas- sock and the Roman collar, we'll have a fine example of a gentle- man and a scholar.

The poem, and his favorite hobby, is Fishing. With his personality for bait, A good-natured Merle should make a splendid catch while wad- ing through life's troubled streams. Such, at least, is our wish for him. THOMAS JOSEPH WEIDEMAN St. Iuliafs' 1- Gigi Tom's high-school career was di- vided between Prep and Saint Paul's High School in Saint Peters- burg, Florida.

RICHARD SPENCER WEISER St. I0hn's - Dick When bigger and better projects are undertaken, Dick will be in there helping to plot them. His forceful phrases and polished po- ems enhanced the quality of the Rambler and Literulae. When not playing his French horn in the band, or receiving honors, Dick could be seen dashing about the countryside in his Chrysler. He will study Business at Gannon. JAMES EUGENE TRAPP St. Iohn's - Jim If Silence is golden, then jim is rich. He believed that actions speak louder than words, and Jim always had a helping hand for any- one.

One might say that it is the real religious activity which deepens faith as it trains the student to acquire good habits of life. We pray the Rosary every Tuesday, because Mary, the Queen of Heaven, has requested us to do so. We visit the Blessed Sacrament every day at noon, because the Sacramental King Welcomes our call.

The confessionals are crowded on Thursday and the Communion rail completely filled on Friday, because an abiding faith requires continual sacramental nourish- ment. We lift our voices in song at Mass on Friday morning, because he who sings, prays twice. We know that all of these-Mass, Sacraments, prayer, and good example-are not just school activitiesg they are our duties throughout our lives. i 5 I fx, M. www':www-.vmmwmw-X-fw::w..x wfxwwxv--mmf-S0 w-X W f - V - - - : kwvwwwwxrw-Qv-Q A - -fp-wwwmwm-em vwmmmw ww -x f Tim McCormick makes an appearance before the Council Court to state his reasons for some rules violation.

ALWAYS EXPRESSIVE Closely following the pattern established by Dr. Samuel Johnson in the first Rambler, our Cathedral Prep version adds a note of timeliness to literary excel- lence. Depending entirely upon the literary productions of the students, the paper uncovers potential Poes, Bryants, and Stevensons who might otherwise remain unheralded. Under the guidance of Father Daniszewski, the Ramblefs advisor during the last four years, the paper has continued a policy of putting the English classes in print. The Litterathon contest, first introduced three years ago, encourages students to submit articles of literary merit and to utilize the artistic ability they may possess. Cash prizes, offered by Bishop Gannon, present an added incentive to the students. The regular meetings of the staff are as much a part of Prep as any other activity in the school. These young journalists, all members of the Junior Class, have added new laurels to the already numerous credits which make our Rambler a truly literary newspaper. ' J. Toohey, J. Bosemond.

THEI At three times during every school year, the Prep boy who has maintained a scholastic average of 85 or better receives his just reward from the Bishop. This boy, intelligent, alert, and eager, is the backbone of the school. His ability serves as a driving force in maintain- R ing the standards of scholastic excellence at Prep. His achievements oiler incentive to others in his group who admire him and wish to be like him. The Quarter Sessions, then, is Prep-the time when Bishop Gannon makes his appearance at the regular .Quarter Sessions. It is a matter of pride and satisfaction for the Founder of Prep to be able to reward those students who have merited scholastic honors during the scholastic quarter. The winners of first honors at the Quarter Ses- sions terminating the first semester of this year pose with the Headmaster, Msgr. McDonald, and the Assistant Headmasters, Fathers Martin and Gallagher. These students received above 9096 in all subjects. 4 Scholastic sweater-winners Susa, Gamble, and Yochim inspect the new scholastic letter to be awarded to the student with the highest average each quarter of the school year. The letter was designed especially by the Headmaster. the founder, our Bishop, can see that his school is the real educational institution he wishes it to be. IOOT ARE I THE P T . . THEIR ELOWEHING I THE PRE E T The effectiveness of our educational training is put to the test when we compete nationally or locally with students from other schools. Here we find that Prep too does its work well. Our students put to the test of competition hours of study and work they have ex- pended in learning and acquiring a well-balanced edu- cation. Thanks to a competent Staff of teachers, our average student rates above average in national testing. It is reassuring to know that our background will bolster us in the real test on a later day-the test of good living as a loyal Catholic American. Varied talents found among eight hundred boys must not go unrecognized, however. So the school welcomes national and community scholastic or literary competi- tion which can afford the student an opportunity to utilize his ability. This page ofthe Literulae salutes the many Prepsters who keep the scholastic reputation on a high level. I They contribute an invaluable service to a world where real knowledge and truth are so sorely lacking. The roots are in the past, their flowering in the present. Sisters Cherubim, Bonaventure, Stanislaus, and Dulcia, along with Fathers DeWalt and McNally, make up the committee of judges for the Lit- terathon contest, Prepis annual drive to single out literary ability among the students. Seniors Townley, Singer, Baldauf, LaCour, Kear- ney, and Cochran won honorable mention in the annual National Poetry and Essay Contest. Their works were selected for publication in special an- thologies. - - .- The Class of '51 boasts of ten members who won -Dnnn-nitinn in flap annual r-nrnnptii-ive mmminn- mmwnm1 Q F XS 5 X ..,, S, .-.N W . ..X .- .

Recent conferences and statements by Pope Pius point out the fact that priests in a modern world must be able to move among the people, to bring the faithful to a realizationof the priest's role as one chosen by God from among men to work for men in the things that pertain to God. Bishop Gannon long ago sensed the spirit of the times and established a preparatory seminary, St. Markfs, where young students might grow in spiritual depth while still maintaining definite contact with the world in which they will one day work. As Rector and Vice- Hector respectively, Fathers Richard F. Fitzgerald and E. James Caldwell are entrusted with the responsibility of guiding these young men to their goal. The pictures on these pages show these young seminarians in actionf, The realities of life reveal that seminarians are human. They also need physical nourishment and rest. At table in the refectory, we see them poised to strikef' just waiting the signal for dinner to commence. The waiter is one of the students, for every seminarian takes a turn at waiting on his brethern. The devotional life at St. Mark's brings the seminarian a deep appreciation of the Liturgy of the Church. Here we see Father Fitzgerald at Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament with Leskoske, Borowski, Coogan, and McFadden Cin the backgroundj as servers. Among other things the student learns proper decorum and respect for things divine. ' . .E . x .. . J N' gf, XX -- .sw-. . + . Q S. in ms - , fsamw X Q Z.

Here we see one half of the cheerleading squad-John Roberts, Jack McGinnis, Red Toohey, and Tom Siegel-taking a well- deserved breather from their diilicult contortions on the gym floor or football field. Caught while in flight, Cheerleaders Gene Rougeux, Ed Han- ley, Gord McMichael, and Howie Ring practice those tremendous leaps that made our Prep cheerleaders the bounciest in the city. Never content with noise alone, the squad was always on the alert for new routines to inject further spirit into a game. Whenever the Orange and Black come out on top in an athletic contest, the Band and cheerleaders may also claim some of the credit. At all rallies, these two groups pep up the student body with lively music and cheers. Then at game time, an excited, vociferous cheering section backs the team all the Way. Although the Prep Band is known to most people only as a marching unit, the men of Gerzina can switch from Yankee Doodlei' to something more serious in a matter of seconds. This versatility makes them a hit at every rally and assembly. Working under the handicap of training many new members each year, Mr. Gerzina nevertheless molds them into one of the finest musical groups in the city. The task of uniting hundreds of voices into a resounding cheer is gigantic indeed, Prep's never-say-die spirit has been acclaimed the best in the city, due mainly to the hard Work of the cheerleaders. Their acrobatic gyrations at football games are hard to match, in fact, these generals of the team behind the team are among the best. but the Rambler cheerleaders have distinguished themselves as masters of this art. PREP' Voc L CHORD Prep's Clee Club compensates for its small numbers by the quality of voice. In 1950, the second year under Mr. Gerzina's direction, the Chorus presented the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera Pinaforef' This year Mr. Gerzina presented his young Carusos and McCormicks at the second Quarter Sessions, at the meetings of the Prep Mothers and Prep Dads clubs, and at the commencement exercises. Not only is the Chorus a fine extracurricular activityl but it is also a period well-spent in musical education. As a result of this training, many members qualify for places in their Church choirs. Besides the enjoyment an average person obtains from music, the members of the Chorus, through a daily music appreciation course, learn a great deal about the famous composers and their works . . . a truly beneiicial activity. Below, Mr. Gerzina leads the Chorus, as they give out in dulcet tones. No work is more exacting than choral training. The members of the Prep Chorus meet at the sixth period every day and spend many hours in the preparation of each selection. At least for this picture, the Director rejoices in the fact that he has perfect attention. -. ,Q-i ,.,,.,..,.,,.,,.,..,..,, THE GLEE CLUB-fFirst Rowj: J. Yochim, R. Schaaf, L. Lucas, F. Anthony, R.

The combined choruses of Prep and St. Benedict's Academy presented the comic opera last May, at a time when the publication date of the Literulae made it impossible for the book to give ample space to this splendid school production.

F or this reason, the Prepster finds a variety of clubs at school. If his hobby be photography, radio, chemistry, speech, or any one of several other avoca- tional areas, the student can find a club to match his interests. While one group may gather to learn the value of effective speaking, another will delve into the secret chemical formulae, while still another will bridge the nation via radio's short wave. All of these activities, plus the countless others which make up the schedule at Prep, add a finishing touch to the education of an American youth. They are important adjuncts to the educational plan of each pupil. He is encouraged to join a club, if only to bring him into close association with boys who are interested in wholesome recreation. The presence of a faculty member as moderator or advisor insures the purposeful activity of each group and an invaluable educational motive behind each club. LET'S START CLUB! Shutterbugs Unlimited gives all boys who have an interest in photography the chance to improve and to learn new, simpler methods at the same time. Here, the officers of the club are busy con- ducting an experiment. Father McNally assists two members of the Radio Club in their attempt to reach Mars or some other place in the vicinity. This club, which operates from the Physics Lab, is open to any ham bitten by the Radio bug. Any after-school explosions heard in the neigh- borhood of the Chemistry Lab may be attributed to the efforts of these seven members of the Chemistry Club or to their cohorts, all of whom work under the supervision of Father Hartlove.

Yet it was really the Youngstown East game, when the vaunted attack of the Ohioans was hobbled, that the team came into its own. East provided some anxious moments, but the team proved master of unexpected situa- tions. Smoothly, Coach Strosser brought the team 'to peak per- formance, appropriately enough against Vincent and Academy. Those games provided us with our greatest thrills and fondest memories. It was an exciting team to watch. You never knew when Zymo or Caesar would pick out Len or Tony or Al, and that vicious downfield blocking would begin to mow down the opposition, and a thrilling run would unfold before your eyes. As an alternative to this Strosser-wizardry, it was so nice to see Terrible Torrelli .terrorize the countryside, or at least provide free transportation to four or five rivals for eight or ten yards. It was a team well versed in fundamentals, it still hurts to think of one block that Jerry Donatucci threw. Beyond that it was a smart team, a team with plenty of spirit and fight. When Dick Deeds, jerry Donatucci, Len Cyterski, Al Hatkevich, and Mike Torrelli received All-Scholastic honors, it was their just due, but there were many others pressing them. So, if you think we really liked this team, youire right! Mike Torrelli and Dick Deeds put the ol' shoulder to a Tech ball Leap frog? . . .

D0 IT AGAIN With the chant Let's Go, Ramblers! resounding in their ears, our Prepsters went in search of their third consecutive basketball championship, and returned, as last year, with a one-third interest. With Cyterski and Hatkevich as mainstays, and with the able assistance of Tomczak, Wolf, Zymslinski, Malina, and Eberlein, Prep rolled up an impressive record of fourteen wins in eighteen starts. Len and Al were also All-Scholastic selections. Well drilled in fundamentals by Coach Dick Detzel, the team boasted a lighting heart that permitted only Cathedral Latin and East to win decisively. And the East game came amid examinations, when the boys were justifiably distracted. Evidence of the great fighting spirit came in the first Tech game. Trailing 19-32 at halftime, a torrid pace in the third quarter, featured by Zymslinskifs long shots and the roaring approval of a Prep crowd, cut the lead to 43-47. Hacker then stepped into the breach and tossed in eight of his twenty-three points for the hair- raising finale. The 61-60 score was easily the game of the year. X Climax of the season came, however, in the playoif against Johnstown Central Catholic. Our down-state rivals came loaded with talent and boasting an un- blemished record. Apparently in control, they failed to reckon with the lighting spirit and explosive power of the Ramblers and barely squeezed out a 53-50 victorv H ': ' Y -,-1,5-mitlF'mFf:1i1V W' a'W Captain Len Cyterski takes on the whole East team as he drives in for a shot. In regular season play, Len drOPPe.d in 173 points, but even that suggests only a part of his real value to the team- as an aggressive leader, an alert playmaker, a steadying influence.

Whenever the subject of basketball comes up at Prep, We must not forget our fine junior squads-the Iayvees and the Freshmen. Coach Walt Strosser did it again as he turned out a dangerous, aggressive, hard-fighting squad headed by jim Lynch, Red Fahey, Al Wedzik, and jimmy Dailey. The second Vincent game was the highlight of the sea- son. After losing 41-50, the Little Ramblers proved it could be done by smashing the champs 49-23. The Freshman quintet fashioned by Fr. Reilly around Dillon, Bardroff, Cuzzola, Hassett, and Patterson, ran up an awesome record of 11-3 against' tough competi- tion. So observe these faces Well, they are our future.

THE E RE HMENM i BURNING COOL POOL Though losing seven key men from last year's swim team, Coach Joe Robie wasted no time in molding to- gether as determined a squad as ever sported the Ram- bler colors, and the resulting combination bodes ill for future antagonists. The Prep mermen improved every time they entered the pool, and finished the season in third place. They lost a heartbreaker to Sampsonized Academy by live points, but bounced back to submerge Tech twice. The high point of the year was our hair-raising victory over East-the upset of the season! Backstroker George Garinther was a consistent win- ner in his first year of competition, While Steve Stasenko and Pat Burke were big threats in the breaststroke and free style respectively. John Henry, the only Senior on the team, performed well on the diving board. Bud Engle sparked the squad with 41 points, while Walt Edelen was second with 86. Jim Babbitt was next with 35. Teamwork, perseverance, cooperation, long hours of practice, the pre-game prayers, all were prime factors in an outstanding season. Add. to these the inspired direction of joe Robie's coaching-there's the combina- tion that will force Vincent and Academy to look to their laurels. Their season ended with a rousing victory over Tech, the squad seeks sweet revenge on Manager Tom Ehrman. With proper impartiality, coach, captain, and managers were treated alike to this novel form of dunking. Iim Rabbitt, Bud Engle, George Garinther, and Walt Edelen get set for the take-oifl It's just for practice, but long hours of training are necessary for the success of any swimming team.

Know- ing Walt as we do, this can be the tip-off of a very determined effort to improve the record. It can be done, of course. The loss of Guerrein, Konkol, Tinti, and Flanagan has hurtg but for the stars of yesterday we have Captain Kenny Schmitt in the mile, Don Wolf in the discus, Grignol and Montevec- chio in the pole vault, Len Cyterski in the sprints and broad jump, and Norm Zymslinski in the hurdles. Besides these a willing squad has worked hard to give us strength in depth. With Walt at the Throttle, the Prep Flyer is bound to go places. V Gui Woon GA BOLERI ,- Kenny Schmitt, King of Cross Country in Erie, loosens up before venturing outside for more mileston-es to conquer. Undefeated in city competition, he twice edged Academy's best. The award for greatest progress in any one sport must go to the cross-country team, which fought its way to second place in City Series competition under the able direction of Fr. Gallagher. ' Only Academy barred the way to greated achieve- ments, and even then Kenny Schmitt proved he could top theirbest. Fr. Gallagher attributes much of the team,s success to the fact that the Freshmen came out, and stayed outl- If they keep up the good Work, look out for things to come. Let's go, Kirk! One of the mainstays of the cross-country team, Bill Kirk, completes the second leg of his journey in the East meet as Fr. Gallagher waves the others on. Prep's mercury-men won handily.

The greatest achievement a team can lay claim to is that of constant improvement, and our wrestling team has accomplished this mostnotably. With the termina- tion of their fourth season, Fr. Geddes and his boys have fought-and won-a consistent uphill battle. It was the last sport initiated into our athletic program, yet in a few short years it has developed literally from nothing into a flourishing school of champions. The vital ex- perience we needed has now been attained, and Prep is deiinitely in the running. We finished in a close third position, and produced three of the eleven city champions, namely, Bill Strub at 112 pounds, Bob Holtz at 133, and Ken Schmitt at 145. Though we dropped two matches to Academy C15-28, 17-227, we split with Vincent Q8-27, 16-26? and East C20-23, 28-141, and toppled Tech twice Q24-22, 36-61. Proud are we of our city champions--Bob Holtz, Bill Strub, and Ken Schmitt, pictured here with their coach, Fr. Geddes. No other team boasts a better record in the city finals. Running true to form, Bob Holtz applies pressure with a chancery hold on Young of Vincent. Wrestling has come a long way at Prep, thanks to the untiring efforts of Father Geddes. WATER POLOISTS . . . PO0L H HKS! The referee cries, Jump ball! so Baker of Academy and Mc- Michael of Prep swing into action. Against Tech, Gordon set a new scholastic record with ten goals in one game. Under the completely competent coaching of joe Hobie, our water poloists splashed their way to an en- viable 5-3 record, and to third place in the City stand- ings. We boasted Wins over Tech Q15-3, 11-lj and Vincent Q5-4, 8-2 J, split with East C 9-6, 2-61, but found Academy uncompromising Q2-8, 2-5 Captain Cordon McMichael, a Senior, earned addi- tional honors by posting the highest individual scoring mark for the season among the city schools. He had 27 goals. It was McMichael, too, who established a new all-time individual scoring 'record for one game by shooting in ten of our eleven goals in the second Tech match. , Francis Budny deserves much credit for his fine de- fensive work. These two Won berths on the All-Scholas- tic first team. Bob' Farmer, a newcomer to the squad, made some of our better strategic shots with his decep- tive left-handers. Richard Helsley, our impenetrable goalie, replaced his brother Dave, who had graduated. All of these laurels and statistics point up Joe Bobie's superb coaching achievement. Even the combined efforts of the Academy goalie on the left and of Sampson on the right couldn't prevent the steady McMichael, seen in the background, from 'slipping the ball into the net for a score.

It is our determination that each succeed- ing Literulae will have a similar picture. In an outstanding display of brotherhood, Jerry Cohen, represent- ing the Jewish War Veterans, presents, the Player of the Year trophy to Mike Torrelli. The football banquet produced a well-deserved bonanza of awards for Mike. Bishop Cannon poses with Norman Zymslinski and Richard Quadri, captains of next year's football team. His Excellency, our No. 1 fan, is only beginning to be rewarded for his years of loving sacrifices for Prep. Bishop Gannon, Coaches Strosser, Robie, and Detzel, and Fr. Gannon relax after a delicious turkey dinner at the football banquet and await the presentation of the championship trophies. Ted Kierzek and Jim Fahey leap into action as George Palmer and jim Toohey get caught in the machinery. Swivel-Hips Strosser and Scibetta await developments-and most anything mayl Since Fr. Gallagher coached the Student Council five for was it eight?J, Fahey received a temporary appointment to the Faculty. The fashion plates of 1951- Nature Boy' Speice, Madman Malina, Hips Scibetta, Happy De Sante, Dreamboat Tor- relli, Tarzan Zymslinski, Hedda Palmer, Red Toohey, and Stripes Kierzek pose after the hard-fought game with the Faculty. FACULTY FLASHES -BOWLERS BLAST On February 28, a black da in the memory of every Prepster, the Faculty, sparked, by Swivel-Hips Stros- ser, Dead-Eyei' Dick Detzel, and Professor,' Fahey, and aided and abetted by Fr. Enright's aggressiveness, Fr. DeWalt,s and Fr. Sperry's height, and Fr. Dempsey's Eye-hath-not-seen foul shooting, defeated Shoe1ess', jim Speiceis Student Council basketball team. Detzel's thirty 'points were alittle too much for the Councilmen. Important in Prep's intramural life is its bowling league, with officers Frank Mozdy, Boots Little, Don F romknecht, Steve Nemergut, and Bill Patterson. The Hot Shots, Gutter Dusters, Alley Cats, and others, do their striking and sparing each Tuesday at the Com- modore alleys. The seasonis highlight is the inspiring match with St. Benedict's. Is it a ballet? No, not quite. It's only Boots Little and Frank Mozdy in their typical Tuesday pose at the Commodore. They have just released their secret weapons and a strike is in the making! Frank Mozdy, Boots Little, Red Toohey, Dick Chiapazzi, and Moe Gross just take it easy for a few moments, as Don From- knecht puts another of LaCour,s high scores down in black and white. 1. wig, XX, K X . .

One Gun Henry makes certain that Lucas and McMichael stay on the beam. There is nothing so traditionally a part of high-school life as the Senior Class Prom, and the Class of '51 made their effort no exception. Because of his great success in his iirst Prep appearance, Teddy Phillips was recalled for a repeat performance at Dream Tirnef, Versatile Ray Miller served both as general chairman and, fit- tingly, as King of the Royal Court. Everything about the Prom was superlative. And while the shades are drawn on one of our fondest memories, the reminiscent light still manages to steal through to our unforgettable Dream Time. DREAM TIME MEA T As the decorating night draws to a close, a little horseplay is injected into the busy proceedings. Stretch Herzog and Slim Steinbacher pause for a second to swish through the hoop held up by Sampson Kern. Almost as adroit as a tight-rope walker, Ray Miller, complete with be-bop hat, perches atop the basket as an accomplice passes him crepe paper streamers. Wonder if he wound the paper around his feet? D CETIE The highlight of any Prom is the coronation of the King and Queen. At the right is the picture of the Royal Court for Dream Time. In the first row are Leonard Cyterski, Edith Fracassi, Sally Schnatter, and Paul DeSante. In the second row, Pat LeVesque, Brian Kearney, Don Matts, King Ray Miller, Queen Mary Hee Theuerkauf, Barb Sauer, Veronica Kabasinski, and Ed Milewski. l One of the many couples enjoying themselves at Dream Time turning to the smooth enjoyable music of Teddy Phillips and stops for a picture .... During the mad rush for cokes at inter his Band As they leave all but the memories of the Prom mission time, Henry poses while Nolan and Obert laugh This behind two tired couples end a wonderful evening is the time when the couples rest their dancing feet before re y XX ve. .

This year was no exception to the rule. Sixteen members of the Class of '51 presented Gerald Murray's clever comedy, Career Angel, and were enthusiastically applauded for their fine work. Heading the cast of characters were Dave McNelis, Bill Patterson, Ray Steinbacher, Roy Lucas, and Frank Wyckoff. Ken Schmitt, Dick Weiser, Ray Wolfe, Mario Scibetta, Gene Williams, jack Campbell, Tom Crotty, Frank Mozdy, Ron Dalton, Ed Harmle, and Fred Schaefer all managed to keep the action lively and interesting in this story of an impish Guardian Angel who finds a career solving the financial problems of a little orphanage. 'The result was a highly entertaining production-the reward for long hours of toil and practice.

Brother Gregory lntroduces his prize pupil Kurt Rheinhold to a neighbor Mr Barr while little Willie Garvey looks on. Willie proves his sus- picions to be right in the course of the play. The Angel has a happy time as he confuses, reproves, and solves the many problems con- fronting the Brothers. Here he mimics as Brother Seraphim points out something to Brother Ubaldus. Bruno Chevoslci prepares to go out the window as Joe Hurdles and Walter Glinsky give him a few directions and Donnie McAdams keeps an alert watch for any Brother who might come upon the scene. Three of the boys are caught in the act by Brother Fidelis. While Johnnie Rinn holds the lighter for A1 Fuller, Duval Devoise tries to hide the cigarettes from the piercing eyes of the Prefect of, Discipline. EACH DATE SEPTEMBER 5-School opens.
