Letters come from every direction from Central boys all over the world— boys who have very recently left these classrooms. From China a man of ' 42 writes: I am half way around the world and have a big job to do. I never appreciated the Mass as I do now. From a transport ship in the Pacific; My greatest thrill on this trip was a Military Mass on the open deck and myself in the role of altar boy. From Tarawa: That battle has changed my life; I do not think as I used to think. Three of my best friends went ' Home ' that day. From England: I have made 24 visits over the heart of Germany and you can guess how near to Heaven I have been and I would like to add I am ready for that trip any day. From North Africa: It is pleasant walking those streets where St. Augustine used to walk. I never expected to visit his old home a year ago when we used to talk about him in class. And these letters continue to come from every land under the sun and all bear witness to the fact that from the rising of the sun to the going down, there is offered in every land a clean Oblation and our Central boys have learned to love that Oblation and they are using it to strengthen their souls— to make them brave and to keep their souls traveling in the proper direction. There ore 155 boys in the Class of ' 44 and already 32 are in the armed forces. They are dispersed in every direction: some are at Navy and Marine Bases, others in flying fields, and many others in Army camps: all are preparing for some special work in some far flung corner of the world. For the 123 who remain, the paramount question is: What direction? What branch of service? Where should I go? What should I do? The answer is a simple one. You will follow those who have gone before you. You will go with the Air Corps over Germany and the Islands of the Pacific. You will sail the seven seas with the Navy and may play an important part in the invasion of Europe. You have learned many things during your years in our school and you may have forgotten much and you will forget more. But 1 pray that you have learned well those sign posts which mark out the road Home . I pray that you have learned how to pray well— that you have learned to value the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and that you will continue to grow in appreciation of it. If you have learned just this, you have done well; and wherever you may be, your soul will be making your way to God, and your life will be a real success. -J. W.

Social life and sports figured prom- inently in his after-school hours and his affability and winning personality assure him success in a business career. JOHN VICTOR BARNES— S . Agnes— A versatile ond attrac- tive personality has kept John riding the crest of the social wave ever since we can remember, and with no small amount of cosmopolitan fame. An honor student and an inherent sense of determination and resolve have mode as great a success of his high school years as they will of his future life. DONALD GEORGE ANUSZKIEWICZ - St. Ladislaus - Don ' s record of four years on the Honor Roll and basketball team are fair proof to anyone that he is one of the most capable and aggressive men in the world today; and as such, we all know that his combined virtues and merits will prove more than sufficient to breast the perils of the Mortuary career he is about to enter. JOHN FRANCIS BATTLE-B essed Socramenf-EfTicient, loyal manager of our Band, and hard-working staff member of the Shamrock, John ' s energy and pertinacity are surpassed only by his cheerfulness and popularity. A long period of sum- mer school permitted him to graduate in January. We feel that he is merely passing on to greater success; and we wish him lots of luck. JOHN CLANCY BARNES-Epiphony-Philotelist and biblio- phile, John refused to allow summer vacation to interrupt his research. When fatigued by fingering proof sheets or browsing through book stalls, he relaxes at the movies. After graduation he intends to keep right on studying in on A.S.T.P. course. JAMES RICHARD BEALE— Visitation— A key man in every sense of the word, Jim was the pivot man of the great Catholic Central line this year, as well as center on our championship basketball team. A smart player as well as a good student, the keen brain that lies behind his modest countenance will spark him to great things in the future. 12 JAMES TOOMEY BECK-Sf. Matthew— Never out of step, never out of tune, Jim has olwoys been the model member of the band and the backbone of its trombone section. His years at Central, to say the least, have been harmonious, and though the ever-growing sounds of battle throw dis- cordant notes over the cadence of his career here, his am- bitions for a higher education will only be temporarily side- tracked. ARTHUR OTTO BEYER-V sifofion-Art is a great seaman and adventurer in as much as he spends his summers cruising the Great Lakes to test the perils of the not-so-brlney deep. Moreover, his voyages seem to allow quite some time for study, as his scholastic record seems to attest; and he will apply his boundless energies to the completion of a college course after the war. SYLVAN JOHN BIELAK Sf. Andrew-Syl has been one of the sustaining backbones of both the baseball and football teams for three and two years respectively. Physical participation has not dulled the normal activity of his efFicient mentality in the least; for he ranks high among the graduates, as he will among the aeronautical engineers in the years to come. RICHARD EDWARD BINGEN-S . Agnes-Quiet, handsome, and likeable, all people are Instantly attracted by his friendly smile and pleasant greeting. He is on honor student and on accredited distributor of the Religious Bulletin, helping in this way to keep the morale of the Institute at a moral peak.

Rifa—A cameraman of profes- sional skill, Fred con be seen at almost any school event, recording its thrills and big moments in a glossy-papered memory.

A universal favorite, his student and fraternal ability seems to insure an extraordinary future in the field of aviation which he Is obout to enter. EDWARD BROWN BURGESS-Sf. Agnes- ' Mr. Shamrock is one of the greatest heroes of the gridiron that Michigan Prep competition has ever seen.

Manifesting this same spirit in the future, his success is assured. DONALD FRANCIS BURNS-Gesu— Besides his unusual attain- ments in both football and intramural basketball, Don has been more than well liked by his fellow students and the faculty. With a combination of brains and brown that is hard to match, he will aspire to the tough, exacting job of Airlines Pilot, after completing his term of service with the U. S. Army Air Corps. JEROME MONAHAN BURNS-Sf. Agnes-Although Jerry came to Central only during the past year, he has found a worm place deep in the hearts of his classmates. No mean hand at the books, he was high point man and captain of a great Champion Basketball team and a fiery second-baseman on the school Nine. A man who has enough spunk to take almost complete honors in sports and still keep a high average in his first year at a new school, cannot help but succeed in later life. 14 JAMES THOMAS CARNEY-Prec ous B ood-A quiet philo- sophical chap, Jim has pursued the even tenor of his way unruffled by the cores and demands of everyday life. He has studied hard in preparation for a vocation as an engineer, but fears that the Army will temporarily cause a delay in his plans. JOHN JOSEPH CARRIVEAU-Sf. Gregory-John is typical of the all-around athlete. His many and varied sports interests embrace the fields of boxing, football, basketba ll and swimming.

Enlisted in the V-12 Naval Program, he will study engineering when the war is won. LEONARD JOHN CHURCHES-St. Sc io ostica-Len is a great social figurehead, not only at Central, but also in the elite circle of the St. Mary ' s of Redford social set. His studies hove varied directly as his cosmopolitan popularity, since the records show that he Is an honor student. Len will wear a pair of silver wings until his efforts have smashed the Axis, after which he will embrace the world of engineer- ing with his magnetic personality. JOSEPH WILLIAM CLARK-Sts. Peter Pau -Far-famed for his mastery of digits and integers, Joe is an expert statisti- cian. His bright and curious mind is ever seeking new horizons and the far-off vistas of unexplored lands. He will satisfy his wanderlust as a Cadet in the Merchant Marines and then settle down to the study of law. 15 SENIORS RICHARD EDWIN COOK-Sf. Matthew-A lithe, adept athlete, whose prowess needs no introduction to his fellow students, Dick likes oil sports and is indeed a versatile man of muscles and brains. This is the combination which will rank him high in both the Naval Air Corps and College, while such a sportsmanlike fellow cannot help but succeed in later life. WILLIAM ALPHONSUS CRONBERGER-Gesu-The essence of a gentleman, Bill is also very handy at the art of self defense OS all who have either seen or heard of his skill con well testify. A short term in the Navy where we feel certain that he will give his very best will prepare him for the hard grind of college later in life. THOMAS MAURICE COTTER - Gesu - Gifted with a glib tongue and on unerring sense of justice, Tom ' s future as Corporation Counsel will undoubtedly prove him to be one of the greatest names in political history.

RAYMOND ROMAN COYLE-B essec Sacrameni-A natural business man and a very shrewd Manager, Roy monipuloted the financial end of the Shamrock, piling up all-time profit records.

EDWARD CHARLES DAHL-Gesu-Tall, laconic, Jim is a hard worker, burning the midnight oil night after night to make the most of his every course. Now in the service of his country, if he works half as hard at anything as he did here, nothing can stand in his way to fame and fortune. CHARLES ALBERT DAMM-Gesu-Charley has in four years, become a legend at Catholic Central. Club meetings ring with the sound of his gavel; for Charley is the boy most elected president in 1944. In addition, his great success in dramatics together with the fact that he ranks third highest in intellectual achievement in the senior class, mark him out OS the really outstanding graduate of 1944. His great love of outdoor life prompts him to aim at a place in the forestry corps. 16 JOHN RICHARD DEAN-Sf. Anne-Dick is one of the prime punsters of Catholic Central. His reputation for a timely comment on current events is exceeded only by that of his amazing ability to cope with the toughest of mental prob- lems. A fellow as sapient and yet as humorous as he, could not help but moke a success of anything he turned his hand to. JAMES ARTHUR DECKER-St. arfin-Dapper, debonair, Jim is the last of the Decker clan that has for so long been repre- sented in our hallowed halls.

DONALD JOSEPH DENEWETH-Assump ion Grof o-Outstand- ing in all fields, Don ' s qualities of leadership were early recognized by his election as Secretary of the Senior Class.

JAMES JOSEPH DERMODY-Precjous B ood-Smooth, suave, moving with an athletic glide, Jim may be seen quietly going about his school work with a determined and resolute atti- tude of persistence.

Father Martin immediately recognized his worth and gave him the all- important, but little-praised job of student manager of the football team.

Abby and Martha are highly indignant when Mortimer objects to their misguided charities . Dr. Harper enjoys an afternoon cup cf tea with Abby while Teddy pon- ders some remote problem of state. ;4t €Hic Md OCcC ace Jonathan listens intently as Father Clemens aptly demonstrates some timely pointers. BELIEVING that the play ' s the thing Father Clemens selected as this year ' s production a refreshingly orig- inal farce entitled krienic And Old Lace which has become almost a legend for its national and international success. It has been played before audiences from Memphis to Mobile, from London to Lisbon; it has always been a hit— a smash hit. Here is the author ' s simple but foolproof formula for an evening of hilarious entertainment. Throw in two charming old spinsters who have passed their declining years murder- ing old men; grate well upon the nerves of their beastly rival in crime, their brother; entangle two young lovers in this mess; season with on amiable old moron who is happy as long as he can play Teddy Roosevelt; add an excitable German-Jewish doctor; flavor with liberal doses of elder- berry wine; stir furiously; and then let it boil over in a startling climox. Fortunate enough to have a large group of veteran actors, Father Clemens ' careful casting resulted in an almost perfect company. All merit praise for their talent and hard work, but George Weiler, as the sadistic Jonathan Brewster, Dick MacDonald as one of the sweet old ladies responsible for thirteen murders, and Dick Golden as a would-be Teddy Roosevelt, were especially efFective. The technical work was very well executed, and the absence of the technical errors which usually brand a high school oloy as amateurish, was notable. Playing to packed houses for three nights in a row, the combination of a great script, a fine cast, and a hard- working director was bound to click; for it was a natural. -RICHARD ROHR 54 Elaine pleads with Mortimer not to allow the eccentricities of his family to stand in the way of their marriage. Jonathan KarlofF exchanges trade talk with Jonathan Weiler backstage at the Cass. The Brewster sisters gloat over Jonathan ' s evident chagrin at being trapped by the police. Teddy gazes impas sively at the consternation of Mortimer and his aunts over the plight of Mr. Gibbs. Business Manager Ray Meiers, electrician Jim Edwards and Property Monager Art Dysarz ponder a difficult problem. Charley Damm, Roy Trevison and Hal Casagrand create the awesome creak of the window-sect. 55 Three pleasure-seeking officers caught at the doorway of the enlisted man ' s paradise.

SOFT lights, enchanting atmosphere and romantic song suffused the exciting air of Broadway which lent a professional touch to the great Central Musical Hit of the year. Stage Door Canteen. The golden voice of Bill Scruggs filled the air with glorious and inspiring song to the accompaniment of a smooth and versatile Central orchestra while a highly talented group of dancers featuring Dick MacDonald and Doug Hendershot amazed an appreciative audience with their grace and symmetry. Act I, which dealt with the beginning of the Canteen brought a flood of fond memories to the minds of the World War I Veterans and engendered a respect and admiration for those times in the hearts of this generation. The second act presented an equally dramatic and realistic portrayal of the Canteens which make our present-day defenders of Freedom feel once again the sense of security and the friendly atmos- phere which they enjoyed before the wcr. George Weiler, as M.C. was an immediate and lasting success as he paid a glorious tribute to the war dead of our country in stirring pearls of oratory, while a touch of satirical comedy was ably supplied by Richard Golden and Dick MacDonald who suc- cessfully released the tension built up by the inspiring saga with gales of laughter. The whole show proved to all that young men, under the skillful, sagacious guidance of such a reknowned director as Fr. Clemens, can turn out as profes- sional and beautiful a perform- ance as anyone could possibly hope to see. Skillful acting and melodious voices, combined with remarkable stage effects and lighting, resulted in an all-time record attendance for three nights. -RICHARD GOLDEN Artist Bob Quintan builds a brick wall with a parnt brush and his consummate skill 56 LIEUTENANT GEORGE WEILER Master of Ceremonies Above— Soldiers and sailors banter with each other in friendly rivalry during a lull in activities at the Stage Door Canteen.

PERHAPS the greatest difficulty encountered by any Yearbook stafF is the task of com- pressing a million memories into a few pages, of telescoping the lives and activities of over 800 students within the confines of the covers of a book. This year, informality has been our goal. We have tried to make each page as human and real as possible, so that in the years to come, it will not be just another relic, but rather a living link between the present and a happier, carefree past. Every member of the stafF has worked hard to achieve this end, and no one harder than our Moderator, Father Fischette. This is the fruit, the culmination of all our efforts. We hope you prize it highly for by that criterion only can we measure our success. -RICHARD ROHR Top Right- Standing: Terry Brennan; Joe Miller; Bill Wolber; Jim O ' Halloran.

This, its eighth successful year, was ore of marked innovation, for wartime shortages cut copy and photographic space to a minimum. However, under the leadership of capable Editor Wolber, and the guidance of Faculty Moderator Rev. Fr. L. Purcell, a versatile and veteran stafF produced a round dozen issues crammed full of timely topics and thought- provocative articles. Besides the difficult task of reporting the news, a host of other activities were sponsored and carried out. The ties of Alma Mater were strengthened by an extensive circulation among the Alumni; a Service-man ' s Letter-Box gave a personal view of this war and how and why it is being fought; ideas were ex- changed with many other high-school periodi- cals; and literary contests for all the students brought forth much hitherto-hidden talent. Book reviews and articles upon current questions written in a popular yet instructive vein gave much food for thought, while the world of sports and the lighter side of school life presented in picture, drawing, and the printed word added just the right amount of seasoning to a mentally nutritional dish. The presence of many underclassmen among the paper ' s leading contributors gives promise of an even better Spectrum next year, breaking up the light of education into its various phases and presenting a clear, undistorted image of things as thev are as well as a prospectus of things as they should be. -RICHARD ROHR Top Right — E.

Student acutcci SELECTED early in the school year from a host of qualified candidates, the Student Council rose to the responsibilities placed upon it, proving the wisdom of our choice by a capable administration of their duties. Led by President Gordon Keating, Joe Miller as Vice-President, Donald Deneweth as Secretary, and Charles Damm as Treasurer, fulfilled and far sur- passed the expectations of all. The more noteworthy of their activities were the excellent management of the Senior Prom, the purchase and distribution of our Class rings, and the success of the roller-skating party. As a medium between the faculty and the student body, they did much to increase a mutual understanding and consequent harmony. Perhaps the best wov we con exoress our gratitude is to say that if the elections were held again, our choice would still be the same. -RICHARD ROHR On Xcnicai SINCE facility of speech and felicity of diction ore indispensable to the leaders of any age, it has always been a major purpose of the English Department to instill in each student a certain poise and ability to express himself well. The high-light of this program is the school-wide Oratorical Contest held each year to single out those most gifted and award them accordingly. This year ' s contest was most successful for interest was high and competition keen throughout the school. A wide range of topics was handled, and such problems as the racial question, juvenile delinquency and post-war planning were intelligently discussed. A growing tendency to discard impas- sioned oratory for cold logic was evident, histrionic gestures giving way to the more forcible arguments of indisputable facts. -RICHARD ROHR GEORGE V EILER Senior Winner JAMES DRENNAN Junior Winner WILLIAM HERRICK Sophomore Winner 62 7 Sccatce Cu6 Back Row: Dick Toole; L.

WHETHER filling the chill autumn air with stirring tunes, or playing concert music in a packed auditorium, our bond has always been an integral part of school life. This year, under the direction of a new conductor, Mr. Frank Ryan, it has extended its activities to many social functions outside the school, being in constant demand throughout the city. This increasing popularity is due in no small measure to the musical genius and unremitting labor of Mr. Ryan who has welded over half o hundred inexperienced high school students into the finest marching band in the city. Their large repertoire and variety of original formations were a continual credit to the school and made the half-time of every football game an interesting and all too brief musical pageant. Nor did its progress stop at this. Ever looking for new fields to conquer. Father Regan and Mr. Ryan con- ceived the idea of a concert band. They soon had a top-notch group of concert musicians, whose maiden per- formance was such a success that it was followed up by appearances all over Detroit. In this the band ' s most successful year, its director and moderator, as well as all those responsible for its achievements, can well be proud; for they have added to the pleasure and relaxation of many, as well as giving many talented boys the opportunity to develop their musical abilities. -RICHARD ROHR BARITONES B.

NOT TO BE outdone by the Mothers ' Club of Catholic Central, the fathers of students past and present as well as many other prominent men interested in the school and the great work it is doing, met early in January to form the nucleus of the Catholic Central Guild. This organization had as its primary purpose the moral and financial backing of the Basilian Fathers in their plans for expansion. Indeed, it served as more or less of a Ways and Means Committee to raise additional funds. The officers chosen to take the lead in this its first and therefore its most trying year, were Mr. Arthur Hathaway, President; Mr. Philip Neudeck, Vice-President; Rev. Father B. Regan, C.S.B., Treasurer; Mr. V. J. Byerlein, Secretary A sustained membership drive met with much success, the Guild growing by leaps and bounds, and the year ' s end found it a thriving, active organization with much work accomplished, notable among these enterprises being the overwhelming success of a War Bond Raffle which the Guild sponsored. Never entirely a mundane organization, not the least of the Guild ' s successes is its cementing of the relationships between the earthly and spiritual fathers of the boys; for by frequent contact, a better understanding of the responsi- bilities of each was gained. Created to fulfill a growing need, this society has served its purpose well and will continue to do so in the years to come. -RICHARD ROHR 70 Judge T. Cotter, Mr. J. Man- ning, Mr. J. Babcock, Dr. R.

Edwards, planned an ambitious, well-filled program for the year. The officers selected to head the various committees this year were Mrs. Raymond Coyle, 1st Vice-President, Mrs. E. J. Chevalier, 2nd Vice-President, Mrs. F. S. Porretta, 3rd Vice-President, and Mrs. Thomas Ryan, 4th Vice- President. Interest was high at all times this year due to the lively, entertaining meetings which combined a little business with a lot of sociability and lectures by eminent figures in the fields of the cultural progress of our times. A series of bridge-teas and a raffle met with much success, and the season culminated in a huge bridge-tea on Easter Monday which jammed the school auditorium. Besides its social and financial success, the Mothers ' Club achieved its greatest end in the close co-operation between the home and the school which means so much in the proper education of youth. niruAorv A VIEW Of= THE EASTER MONDAY BRIDGE-TEA Mrs. Leo Joliat, Assistant Chairman; Father J.

Delaunay, C.S.C, Reireaf Master CAUGHT in the swiftly flowing stream of life, tossed and buf- feted to and fro by the eddying cur- rents of environment and worldly cares, we are borne surely and in- evitably toward a thundering water- fall, greater than a thousand Niag- aras, which will hurl us out into boundless space forever and ever and ever. There is no turning back; we can- not retrace our erring trail; we cannot escape the hand of the Lord. Our only hope is to travel down life ' s common way in such a manner as to reach the brink of that bottomless chasm in a state of preparedness. For this reason, each year at Cath- olic Central, we draw momentarily towards a sheltered cove, there to refit our battered souls, and rechart our wandering course. These brief three days of Retreat are a God-send, the worth of which we will never fully realize. 7 Re icaf Held as usual during the first three days of Holy Week, this year ' s Retreat was conducted by a brilliant, nation- ally known Holy Cross Father, the Rev- erend John B. Delaunay. His forceful oratory and wealth of good sense were a tremendous help to everyone; for who can guide as well as one who has traveled ahead and knows all the pitfalls and snares that there are for youth? The daily routine of classes gave way to rigorous, spiritual exercises; the silence which pervaded the school spoke loudly of the spiritual industry of each student. But this period of quiet meditation, like all good things, had to come to an end. After a last stirring confer- ence, we received the Blessing of our Lord in Benediction, and the Blessing of His Vicar, the Pope, and then re- entered the world buoyed up by Father Delaunay ' s inspiring words, confident of our mastery over the pow- ers of darkness, and ever mindful that since each one of us is the captain of our fate, we must rule with an iron hand until the storm is over and we are safe in port. -RICHARD ROHR. A general view of the audi- torium-chapel during fhe Holy Hour which closed the Re- treat. f Father Delaunay ' s smile in this picture indicates the be- ginning of one of those hu- morous stories which we shall never forget. 75 e A MORTAL storm arose in the East and West, lashing into blind fury a sea of godless nnen, threatening to engulf the world in its swirling flood and immerse all humanity in a sea of lust and hatred and wrong. But other men were called from every home, from every walk of life- big, hard, God-fearing men— good men. They went— not gladly— but they went, willing to lay down their lives and personal ambitions so that all mankind might walk upright across the face of the earth, slaves only to their passion for freedom. That tide in full flow dashed against this human bulwark, and broke, and now is sullenly receding— its fortunes ebbing day by day. But it took its toll of that wall; and to you. Catholic Central war dead, we can only say: Vour mighty coniribu- tions towards a cause that will never be lost will be remembered by an ever grateful nation, community, and school.

' NNE OF THE greatest factors in education at Catholic Central has always been the training, discipline and knowledge which must necessarily in- fluence the future life of a young Catholic man. Not only are the theories of Catholicism taught to the student, but he is also encouraged to put them into active practice by fulfilling the word of God and exhibiting the highly laudable and indispensable virtue of charity. The best and ever-present oppor- 7 ' TfCc Mati funity for personal sacrifice and good will lies in Catholic Central ' s yearly contributions to both Home and Foreign Mission societies. The collection of the amazing sum of $3,000 for the year of 1943-44 bears mute and powerful testi- mony not only to the success of the religious instruc- ox% and the generosity of the students themselves, but also to the zeal and industry of the Mission Moderator, Father Killoran and his handful of home- room representatives. Many missives and personal tokens of appreciation hove arrived from grateful missionaries in India, China, Mexico, Africa and our own United States. Eternal as the Church itself is this Apostolic devo- tion to the Propagation of the Faith; and nowhere is it stronger than it is within the hearts of our student body. -RICHARD GOLDEN 1943-44 MISSION RESULTS TO M AY 19TH Home Room Position Average Room Total Home Room Position Average Room Total 9-5 1 $10.39 $353.14 10-2 10 $3.28 $150.92 10-5 2 8.83 300.22 9-3 11 3.17 151.93 10-3 3 7.66 329.52 10-1 12 3.14 138.19 10-4 4 6.88 309.39 9-1 13 2.95 138.43 9-4 5 6.53 215.55 11-4 14 2.70 102.65 11-2 6 5.38 204.61 11-3 15 2.49 104.50 9-2 7 5.14 246.91 11-1 16 2.07 99.12 9-6 8 3.70 1 40.69 12-1 17 1.92 94.15 12-3 9 3.33 156.68 12-2 18 1.25 58.77 The Grand Total to date $3,295.37 78 ATHLETICS ALL-STATES E.

It isn ' t always the biggest team; it isn ' t always the best; but it is always the team thot goes out on the field and plays its heart out for every second of the gome. This year, emerging victorious from a hard - fought contest with St. Anthony ' s for the Catholic Title, we faced Cooley High School for the Metropolitan Crown. On that chill day in early December, the thought running through 25,000 fans packed into U. of D. Stadium was how long the inexperienced and com- paratively light Central squad could stem the Crimson Tide and keep the game from turning into a debacle. Yes, we were the under-dogs! Managers C. Damm, J. Grabowski Mr, Alex. Chesney, Coach Father J. E. Martin, C.S.B., Athletic Director r ft a But by the first few minutes of the game, the crowd was made to realize that numbers, size and skill don ' t mean a thing against a team imbued with a fighting spirit such as ours. In a close, clean and bitterly-contested game, our Shamrocks out-fought and out-played the Redbirds in every department for on 8-0 victory. Of course we played over our heads! Sure, Cooley should have won! But when the chips are down and the tides of battle are running against them, the fighting Irish never worry about the odds. That ' s why we ' re champions!

Marfin, C.S.B., at the Catholic Central Victory Banquet The Season WITH a new coach and a small, inexper- ienced squad, it seemed at the start of the year as though the highly-touted Catholic Central football machine would finally fall upon a lean year. Opening the season against a weak Lansing Resurrection Eleven, we trounced them 44-0; but in our next game, we barely managed to eke out a victory over our traditional rivals, Hamtramck, by a last minute touchdown which broke a scoreless tie. River Rouge, Kalamazoo, and St. Joseph ' s Commercial fell in rapid succession before our constantly improving team. However, our first defeat soon followed at the hands of a big, fast Toledo Catholic Central by a close score of 18-14. Another heart-breaking loss came when Fordson pushed over a touchdown in the closing seconds of the gcme to down cur doughty warriors. Stung by these two unmerited defeats, a vengeful Shamrock Eleven met on overrated St. Anthony ' s squad at U. of D. and soundly whipped them by a decisive score of 19-6, thus winning the Catholic League Title and the con- sequent chance to play the Metropolitan Champions in the traditional Goodfellow Game. Everyone knows the story of that game— a game long to be remembered in the annals of our football history. Entering the game as a doomed under-dog, we turned the tables by a rare combination of luck, brains and sheer stamina. Thus ended in a final blaze of glory another successful season— one in which we suffered minor defeats, but came back strong to wrest the title from a truly great team. -JAMES LAIDLAW uiiisiiiRvii; ' ' c Eber,.

BASKiriBALL Losing only three regulars through last year ' s graduation, Coach Al Chesney was able to put on the floor, not one, but two veteran, well-balanced teams. Meeting only one reverse, of the hands of St. Benedict ' s, we fought our way to the finals with a record of two wins over every league team and two non-league victories. But at this point the tide turned, the combination of a bad night for the Shamrocks and a good one for St. Theresa ' s Pirates spelling the doom of our Catholic City Championship aspirations. Paradoxically enough, however, we easily won the State Regional Crown by bowling o ver Lincoln Park, Ford Trade, Fordson and Grosse Pointe in rapid succession. Our trip to Lansing for the semifinals brought us only the dubious honor of being the greatest obstacle Saginaw Arthur Hill had to hurdle in their successful race for the State Title. Thus closed the most successful season in the annals of our school. Paced by high-scorers. Captain Jerry Burns and All-City forward Gene Perini, and the excellent team-play of Scotty MacDonald, Jim Beale and Don Berner, the team exhibited a fighting spirit and brilliant teamwork never before seen on our courts, racking up a record of 15 wins against only 3 losses. To say the least, Mr. Chesney made the most of the excellent material given him, and the team made the most of themselves. -RICHARD ROHR 86 Top Uff— JIM BEALE and JERRY BURNS Top R ghf — DON BERNER Middle Rig ht -lARRY MACDONALD and JACK DILLON Bottom Right — GENB PERINI THE SEASON Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Catholic Central 41 Central 22 Central 37 Central 25 Central 40 Central 39 Central 48 Central 65 Central 69 Central 54 St. Benedict Holy Redeemer St, Gregory St. Ladislaus Visitation St. Catherine St. Benedict St. Gregory St. Ladislaus Visitation 21 19 19 22 7 8 54 22 19 12 Northern Division Title Catholic Central 33 St. Benedict 23 City Semifinals Catholic Central 18 St. Theresa 26 STATE TOURNAMENT Catholic Central 31 Lincoln Park 15 Catholic Central 24 Ford Trade 20 Catholic Central 18 Fordson 15 (Catholic Central Wins Regional Title) Catholic Central 30 Grosse Pointe 20 State Semifinals Catholic Central 24 Saginaw Arthur Hill 30 87 Back Row: W.

Bill Wightkin, the great football All- State, pounded out a three round decision to take the heavyweight Crown, while Dick Hogan ' s lightning jobs and pile-driver right hooks easily captured the light heavyweight honors. Other equally skillful Champions are too numerous to list, but all participants deserve the highest praise for their courage and skill in the fistic art.

BASEBALL Baseball is truly the king of American Sports and Catholic Central is the King of Baseball Champions in the City of Detroit. For nine succes- sive years, the powerfu l Nines of Central have swept over the opposition of the opponents to gain glory and fame for themselves and the school in terrific battles of the diamond. Their superb pitching and deadly hitting has amazed the sports writers and rival teams who strive in vain to defeat the winning combination of Central skill and stamina. We are looking forward to our tenth straight championship! A great deal of the credit for this overwhelming superiority goes to our brilliant strategist, Fr. Martin, who for many years has served as coach and advisor to the young athletes he invariably develops into a winning team. Laurels are also deserving to the hard working, ambitious, keen young players who train from early April with unflagging zeal to uphold the honor of the school and to prove themselves worthy of its colors. Considering the veteran squad which will take to the field against our opponents in June and trusting to the reliable qualities of their pilot, it is quite safe to predict another highly profitable season for our boys. Such all-time Central greats as Art Houtteman, Chester Szumlanski and Jerry Burns will spear-head on experienced team in piling up new records for Detroit Prep schools. Whatever the coming season may hold for the fortunes of Central, we feel that these boys will uphold and better the glorious traditions and precedents which have been set for them by former students. —RICHARD GOLDFN 92 LEARNED POST Boclr Row; Mr. J.
