Its emphasis on intellectual and physical development alone arises front the contention that human reason by its own effort is sufficient to attain for man his sulwlinte enfl'-nalrnely, Heaven. The heresy of this belief is at once seU-evident. The true llulmanists, who emulated Christ, had the in- fallible eoncept. Not two, but three basic rneansforml the nucleus rj the perfection for -which man must strive. True pelfeetion is not sornething material, but something spiritual that seeks its fulfillment in the soul., Thus it is, that spiritual development rnust actuate all endeavors for eternal happiness. The body and mind cease to function at death, the soul continues to survive. 'Were this false, then death, the termina- tion of m,an's earthly pleasure, would also delete his hope of eternal happiness. From the time of the true Hlurnanists, though Constantly assailed and 66revolutionized'' by the wwolves in sheep's cloth- ingf' these three elernents have persevered as one. Furtherrnore, unless deprived of their very life, the Supernatural., an action that is contrary to the Wisdom the Creator, then it is with our renewed hope that CC these things endurew . il Hs i q li - Liu his ll il lluring, smiling Katie listens intently as Rocky pleads for her love in song in the musical - Corn on the Cob hreaktast at Sardi's pro- vides a novel entertainment program at the Easter Mon- day party ot the Mothers' Club lionterences of Father Foran, C.S.C. with the student body constitute a major part of our annual Retreat ff 1 a 5.1 bf ga fl: er FATHER J. W. EMBSER, C.S.B. Principal Father Embser chatting with a group of students and an alumnus on furlough. I Cmbaer 'J Jileuage .... For twelve years, most of you have been in Catholic schools and already many of your number are in the armed forces and you will follow them very soon. There you will find boys, great numbers of whose training is not what yours has been, they think differently than you think, they value but little some of those truths which you value highly. They seek other things than what you seek. They are different-or shall we say that you are different, because of your home and your training. Now there are two courses open to you. You can let them change you or you can exercise an infiuence on them. They can pull you down or you can lift them up. You can take the lead or will you permit them to lead you? I think I can say that many of us are afraid to take the lead. We are afraid that some one will scol? at us, will laugh at us and will make sport of us. We are timid. We have our convictions, we have been well instructed, but we do not have the courage of these convictions and we do not have the moral strength to lead the way. True, it is difticult to lead, but does not the Master give us the example, was He not derided, made sport of, laughed at and scorned? He knew what was true and what was right. He never hesitated, He never compromised. He led the way and you must follow. You cannot expect any different treat- ment at the hands of godless men than He received. And now how can you lead the way? It is not too difficult. You scarcely have to say a word. Your life, the way you live it, the way you speak and act, the way you pray and attend Mass, all this will speak so eloquently and much more effectively than anything you may say. Others will notice you and admire, some will follow you. There is an idea which is so false. It is the principle of the man who lacks character, we must do this because everybody else is doing it, because we won't be one of the gang unless we do. They will laugh at us if we do not. My dear boys, you have your principles engraven deep down into your souls, you have your ideals. They are not the product of any human mind. They are divine, they are those things which endure. A man of character will never do what is wrong because others are doing it. I challenge you to take the lead, have others honor and love God because you do, have others say their prayers and go to Holy Mass because you attend, have others keep their souls pure and beautiful be- cause you are making an effort to keep your soul full of grace. These things endure. If you do this, you will be a man of character, a Christian man of character. We shall ever be proud of you. May God bless you. J. W. EMBSER, C.S.B. eniow . . . If 3 . i I JOHN PETER BABCOCK-Blessed Sacrament- Bala come to Central with the sole purpose of acquiring knowledge. How well he has accomplished this end is evident after a glance ut his record. ln his leisure moments he peruses the virile art of coquetry. The results may be substantiated by the many damsels who have fallen under his spell. Perhaps, in the near future he will rank proudly among the Boyers and Barrymores. FRANCIS ASCENSION BADALAMENTE-Gate of Heaven-It is very seldom that such an all-around athlete as Frank can be found among 800 boys: for he is truly a versatile student. Besides having played intramural basketball for four years and baseball for two, he has associated himself with several social groups. With the rudiments of Spanish and engineer- ing ot his fingertips he plans to help build a better South America after the war. ROBERT ANDREW BEACH-St. Matthew-An honor student since his arrival at Catholic Central, Bob has successfully finished a brilliant high school education. Although he main- tained a fine scholastic record, he did not confine his interests wholly to intellectual pursuits. He found time to play reserve football and to donate his talents to intramural basketball. With chemistry as his favorite subiect, Bob intends to gradu- ate from college as a Doctor of Medicine. CARL GENE BECKER-St. Agnes-Treading his way leisurely down the path of his high school career, smiling and un- perturbed, Carl has managed to make o name for himself as one of the leading chemical minds in the school. ln spite of his carefree manner, he has graduated high in his class, since he is well fitted both in temperament and training for his career as one of our better physicians. THADDEUS ANTHONY BELKOWSKI-St. Augustine-Reticent but sedulous, Ted overflows with the qualities and zeal that connote an unwavering student of the arts and sciences. Throughout the post four years he has led his class with an A average. While he does spend a great deal of time studying, bowling and roller-skating suffice for recreation. Along with his amiability they will surely teach him bonitatem et disciplinam et scientiam, DONALD GERARD BERNER-Visitation-A competent scholar as well as an accomplished athlete, Don is one of the out- standing graduates of his class. His casual wit and winsome smile have transformed many social embarrassments into entertaining encounters. The fact that he is the tallest in the class does not prompt him to look down on his fellow students, for Don considers one true friendship worth a thousand fickle ones. From such a philosophy felicity must result. . . . eniow i 5, l I -M: wt. JOHN HAROLD BOHRER-St. Agnes-St. Agnes can boast of no more quick-witted youth than Jack. Luckily enough, his love of any sport, whether it be football, baseball or ice- skating, overshadows his yearning for feminine companion- ship. Mathematics, especially trigonometry and algebra, hold nc terrors for him, even chemistry and physics whet his scientific appetite. The alluring environments of the Uni- versity of Notre Dame constitute his intellectual Utopia. THEODORE EDWARD BOUCHER-Epiphany-Comely, amiable, Ted is a leading figure at most social functions in Detroit. His generosity and ready smile have won for him many friends on the gridiron and in the classroom. When he is not recreating himself at bowling or skating, he may be found in his room zealously preparing himself for an engin- eering career. How can a person of his caliber fail? GEORGE JOSEPH BRADLEY-St. Brigid-For-famed as a mas- ter of protons and electrons, and a fond devotee of philately, George astounds his fellow classmates with the priceless knowledge that he has acquired through his hobby of elec- tricity. While he enjoys swimming, and skating, the greater part of his time is spent in divulging the amazing secrets of radio, so that in years to come he may lead the world in electronic research. WILLIAM GEORGE BRANIECKI-St. Louis the King-Silent, alert, modest, and dynamic, these are the qualities reiterated daily in Bill's habits and in his scholastic efforts. He casts a shadow of immunity to the prevalent wits in the world of today, his character influencing his most casual as well as his most intimate acquaintances. The completion of the war will find a radio and electronics course beckoning Bill. JOHN CHARLES BREZNAU-St. Margaret Mary-John has found for himself a welcomed position in the annals of Catholic Central history. His scholastic endeavors have secured for him a repetitive seat on the honor roll. He was a guard on the intramural basketball team while enioying such activities as golf and bowling. With a background in chemistry, John intends to initiate a medical career following the armistice. JAMES ORVILLE BROGAN-Epiphany-Typical of the fight- ing Irish of Central is iovial Jim. On the football field, in the classroom, or while at his task as advertising manager for the Shamrock, his adhesive personality has won for him innumerable friends. When the lights go on again in this war-torn world, we are likely to find Jim pondering over the mental problems of politics and iournalism at Michigan State. eniow . . . PETER IOHN BRYK-St. Lacfislaus-One of the greatest tributes which can be paid to a student is one of scholastic nature, this honor belongs to Pete. ln each of his four years at Central he has reserved a place on the honor roll. A prom- inent member of the Science Club, Pete was quite active in intramural basketball. After graduation he hopes to initiate o scientific education. THOMAS MAURICE BUSHEY--Holy Rosary--Quiet, popular, Tom is the favorite of students and teachers alike. His ready smile and effervescent personality have won for him a host of friends. Never out of step, he has sparkled for four years in the drum section of our band. Though the Marines have first claim, Tom plans to return to a college education and to make his Catholic training felt in a saddened world. JAMES O'8RlEN BYRNES-Gesufjim came to us from Gesu Parish with the intention of making his four years of high school ones that could be proudly related to his grand- children in future generations. His favorite hobbies are swimming and horseback-riding in the summer and skating in the winter. A loathing for languages is supplanted by a craving for the cold facts of science which offer a brilliant outlet for his facultates. GEORGE THOMAS CALEEL-St. Patrick-George, with his fluent oratorical powers, has been in many spirited discus- sions dealing with everything from the aftermath of the Revolutionary War to contemporary politics. A prominent figure in the Beta Sigma Phi, he uses this fraternity as a medium for most of his social iaunts. After completing a course in engineering at Wayne, a trip around the globe will broaden his knowledge of the vast universe in which we live. GENO ROMANO CAPPELLAZZO-St. Francis De Sales-This iovial, bustling fellow is no stranger to Catholic Central athletics. His achievements on the basketball court have been supplemented by those in the boxing ring, on the gride iron and in the band. The favorite of students and teachers alike, big Geno has participated in every maior sport. We feel sure that only success can characterize his chosen career as a designing engineer. FRANCIS MICHAEL CARAM-St. James-Because of his reticent and humble ways, Frank is not always noticed in the hustle and bustle of scholastic life. Yet the simple fact that he has a multiplicity of devoted friends is proof enough of his character. He plays the accordion in such a professional manner that you would think he was Phil Baker. Frank's ambition is to travel through South America and Europe on a concert tour. rp . . . L-Seniou JOHN ARAL CHURCH-Visitation-A genial mannerism and a zeal for study are qualities that predominate in John. A veritable success in classroom mental forays, his proficiency in Latin can well be attested to by Father Embser. Were we able to surmise the future of this adept young man, we would see his sharp linguistic accumen devoted to a continued study of the classics. GEORGE JOHN CIPA-Sts. Cyril 6 Methodius-When the process of reconversion in the automotive industry is com- pleted, you may be sure that George will have had a hand in it. Just as he has helped to good the band on tc its most successful year, he likewise will set the pace for the luxury liners of tomorrow. The hum of machinery replaces the martial notes of the band as the Circe of industry inveigles him. ROGER LOUIS CLANCEY-Visitation-Composed and com- petent, Clance has become one of Epicurus' favorite sons. Yet at all times this idiosyncracy has been subiugated to his moral principles. He has loomed into the sports picture as an inimitable athlete during his four year period here, devoting his services to reserve football and intramural bas' ketball. A thorough appreciation of physics and mathematics reveals a cherished desire to become an engineer. DONALD EDWIN COOK-St. Matthew- Clark is the welle attired fellow with the enchanting smile, minus the mustache, who is the nucleus of the female atoms at any social affair. He has proven that man is not essentially o land animal, since he has churned up the waters of many a lalle with the celerity of a porpoise. After the school books and zoot suits have been tucked away, Don will operate his own business. BYRON PATRICK CRANE-Visitation-With a calm underlying his tremendous energy Pat has proceeded on his merry way at Central, and has managed to gain the reputation of being the school's leading socialite and docket-hustler . An honor student and a stellar member of the Spectrum staff, he plans to delve into the realm of international business someday after a course in finance and business administra- tion at Notre Dame. ROBERT MARCUS CULVER-St. Theresa--Bob bears, unmis- takably, the stamp of a gentleman. A witty and amiable disposition, coupled with his sociability, make him an asset to any class. Of his hobbies: philately, photography, ce- skating and music, the latter is his favorite. As a senior he was a member of the elite cafeteria corps. He prefers the Navy to any other branch of the servicep after that a law career beckons. Qseniow . . . PLACIDO ANTHONY D'ANGELO - Nativity - Popular, easy- going Placido came to us in the tenth grade, liked it, and has since left on indelible mark on Catholic Central athletics. His flailing fists won for him two boxing crowns, he spear- headed the basketball team to two consecutive house league championships. The boundless energy which won for him so many friends, can only assure Placido of an exciting ad- venture with the Marines. RICHARD JOHN DANKO-St. Margaret Mary-Athletics at- tract Dick's attention at all times. It is highly probable that in later life he will ultimately turn toward a career in sports as a participant or a coach. He prefers fraternity dances to iam sessions . A scholar as well as a sportsman, his fight- ing spirit and drive will carry him to the top in any field. THOMAS JOSEPH DANKO-Sis. Cyril 8 Methodius-ln intra' mural basketball he was superb, in his studies he was out- standing, in our estimation Tom will go far in whatever career he chooses. Collecting records, building model air- planes, dancing and roller-skating are only a few of his pastimes. His favorites on the curriculum are algebra and religion. It is his contention that since he has had experience with planes, he would be sapient to undertake aeronautical engineering. A ROBERT JOHN DEVINE--Visitation-Cum laude is a phrase that can hardly be omitted from Bob's diploma on cam- mencement day. If it is one thing the world covets above all others, it is a man of virtues and ideals. A friend in need is o friend indeed. How can Bob fail with these sound precepts and a host of friends? ROBERT EDWARD Dll.LON-Precious Blood-When the Z-'lopy begins to act up, patient Bob crawls underneath and in a few minutes it is sputtering as well as ever. Active in all school affairs, he has been a staunch member of the Stomp Club and has made an undying name for himself in the boxing ring. His keen, composed mind will serve him in good stead amid a world of impulses. JAMES PATRICK DOHERTY-St. Cecilia-The roaring of the sea dashing about the reefs and thundering upon the shore in gigantic breakers draws Jim inevitably toward the vortex ot marine life. Even on the football field or while out dancing, the coll of the sea constantly pulsates in his ear. As a result, upon graduating he will enter the Coast Guard so that he may satisfy his impulse and simultaneously aid his country. 0 0 0 el'li0'lJ RALPH WALTER DOWNEY-Visitation-Ralph, who left us last fall at the call of his country, should be familiar to everyone who followed the fortunes of Cen'tral's gridiron greats. He was a vital cog in the team that defeated Cooley in the i943 Goodfellow Game and he played in the breath-taking game against Boystown. We may be sure that his mechanical genius will be adhibited to good advantage, for the Armed Forces need men of his aptitude. JAMES HENRY DRENNAN - si. Gregory - The embryonic Cicero of Central and a Thespian of city-wide renown, Red has probably enraptured more audiences than any student here. Along with his participation in dramatics and oratory he finds time to indulge in sports, iournalism, and the in- tricacies of science. The world can look forward to unim- aginable luxuries once Red completes his college course in chemical engineering. EDMUND JOHN ESSER-St. Mary of Redford- Once more, Ted , Take it again, Ted , are phrases that reecho in the rehearsals of every Catholic Central musical success. The backbone of many spectacular musicals, his versatility with the twinkling ivory key-board has spread his fame far and wide. However, his love for the beauties of nature will, after a college education, lead Ted to the contented life of a forest ranger. KENNETH FRANCIS FERMOYLE-Visitation-An ardent ad- mirer of the great American novelist, Mark Twain, curly- headed, amiable Ken puts the composition of a best-selling novel as a must on his list for future reference. ln the melodic moments his warp for the music of Teagarden and Shaw brand him as a connoisseur at tiner arts. With the study of literature as CI paragon he hopes to continue in iournalism at college. WILLIAM JOHN FLANNERY -- St. Matthew - Sedate, yet obounding in the rectitude and benevolence of every genuine Catholic, Bill is a good example of humility in action. Because of this he has gained the undying respect of all his friends, for he has no enemies. He has chosen chemistry as his life work, not because it pays high wages, but rather, through it, he can best alleviate the suHerings of mankind. CHARLES WILLIAM FOBARE-St. Elizabeth-Charlie has spent tour resplendent years at Catholic Central, winning for him- self the respect and friendship of the student body. For two years he showed great promise as a boxer, finishing as the champion of his division. Away from the campus he enioys participating in any sport, but acquires a certain satisfaction from high bowling scores. After graduation Charlie intends to enter the field of mechanics. JOHN MARON FODELL-Sts. Peter 8. Paul-Popular, genial, ond a natural comedian, Johnny has become a legend at Catholic Central. Uncle Sam must have heard about him, for last October he was inducted into the Army. His suc- cesses on the stage are known throughout our city. When the fray is over, he will put aside his Chewing Gum Sere- node to pursue a medical career. ROBERT JOHN FRECKELTON-Assumption Grotto-A person unacquainted with Bob's chosen profession would say he was tops in any man's language. But those who know what he intends to be seem to feel uneasy in his presence. Since he has written a splendid record in all activities, the answer must lie in the fact that he will join the eternal triumvirate of doctor, druggist and embalmer, as the latter, upon graduation. JOSEPH JOHN FREDALfSt. Paul-We of the Senior Class shall always remember Joe as the Gershwin of Central. For it hos been his original fanfares and sundry musical rendi' tions that have transformed possible dull sports events into high-spirited ones. His ardent school spirit can be attested to by teachers as well as students, for he is ever willing to cooperate in all activities. These virtues will go far to insure his success in a pharmaceutical career at Notre Dame. STEPHEN JOSEPH GALLA-Epiphany-A teacher's dream and the students' student, brilliant, sagacious, Steve has compiled a most enviable record and is certainly to be classed with our school's great scholars. The Demosthenes, scientist and poet of the Senior Class, Steve will graduate the top man by virtue of a phenomenal average. He demonstrated his ability for organization as the editor of the 1945 Shamrock. To study medicine at Notre Dame, and perhaps in Europe, is his cherished ambition. NORMAN WILLIAM GAYNOR-Blessed SacramentAThose who consider wood carving an antiquated hobby should consult Norm on the subject. During the many years which he has labored with the chisel and mallet countless wooden obiects have taken on pseudo-personalities, and now decorate his workshop. It is Norm's contention that working with his hands will develop him for the tremedous task that lies ahead, first as a sailor, and then as a mechanical engineer. NEIL ROBERT GEARY-St. Leo-A conglomeration of every- thing that symbolizes Catholic Central, Neil has used his copious talents to the amplest advantage. Yet his scholastic endeavors have not suffered as a result of his numerous extra-curicular activities, for he is rated among the leaders. The title of The Best-Dressed Man at Central emulates from his weakness for fine attire. JOHN COLLINS GEMPEL-St. Benedict -A very eminem figure in scholastic organizations within our hallowed walls of learn- ing, John has been a staunch supporter of the Camera Club since ioining. The basketball court has served as an outlet for his many physical talents. ln his spare time he enjoys dancing, ice-skating and takes especial pride in the produc- tion of art masterpieces. Amid test tubes and retorts we vision his future employment. THOMAS MARTIN GOLDEN-St. Rita-lt is a rather odd coincidence that Tom's surname should be a most appropriate adiective to describe the opportunities that have been of- fered to him at Central, and which he has meritoriously capitalized upon. He has truly developed himself in the manner which Catholic education advocates: spiritually, mentally and physically. By employing his God-given talents thus, he has laid the foundation for his formal education and the greater one to come. JOSEPH RAYMOND GRABOWSKI - St. Augustine - Joe is Central's exponent of altruism. His constant willingness to help everyone brands him as a gentleman. As student mana- ger the glory and glamour of football were not always his. Yet, unrelentless toil at his studies and athletics have only served to increase his devotion to all that is Catholic Central, this is positive assurance of Joe's success in a cynical world. RAYMOND ALPHONSUS GUMBLETON - Epiphany - If you have ever experienced the sensation of conversing with a person who so captured your attention that you were left in rather a daze, then you felt the same as the host of acquaintances who admire Ray. A bow-tie that will out- sparkle the brightest of iewels, a constant smile, and the ability to remain at perfect ease anywhere, insure this hand- some cosmopolite of a blissful career. EARL JOHN GURNACK-Assumption Grotto-Earl and his sax are certainly not strangers ta the many U.S.O. shows and other benefit musicals. The smooth, golden notes of his saxophone have carried him into the most promising young band in the city. However, Earl has found time to make the St. Basil's Club and to establish himself as an avid Latin scholar. lf the past is any indication of the future, we can only vision success for him. GERALD JOSEPH GUY-St. Agnes-The buying and selling of aged automobiles attract Jerry whose business eye is always searching for an exceptional bargain. This profitable hobby along with dancing, skating and on engaging personality have established him firmly among the elite circles at Central. It is certain that with his knowledge of physics and chemistry he will continue to advance toward greater heights in the promising field of aeronautical engineering. . . . .Seniou Q l I in I N .., .,,.. tr ,fir at -vi my .K b .it Seniou . . . JOHN DOUGLAS HENDERSHOTAPrecious Blood-Lack of dis- cretion and tact can very easily ruin one socially, but Doug has never committed that faux pas. A brilliant, prolific mind fused with a refreshing personality iustify his propriety as an actor. Although he does not particularly like mathematics, languages do appeal to him. And so to a person of his philological genius we say cura ut valeas. JOHN JOSEPH HILTZ -Epiphany-When it comes to boxing or photography, Jack is definitely in the ken . His first attempt to win honors in the annual Camera Club contest brought him second prize, although against more experienced competion. A four year honor student, and a bona fide member of the Science Club, he plans to present the Navy with his talents upon graduating. GEORGE FLOYD HISSONG-Precious Blood-Of the many hobbies that serve to delight men in their leisure hours George considers eating as his favorite. There are few parties you can attend that he will not be the proverbial life of . An ingenious wit and a naive disposition are his keys to the lock of popularity. A fond believer in the principles of Einstein and Newton, he will graduate from college os an aeronautical engineer. JAMES JOSEPH HOLLAND-VisitafianhGive him a pair of swimming trunks and a spring-board on the banks of a cool, azure lake, and Jim will consider himself living in an aquatic Utopia. The physique acquired as a swimmer has aided him in the boxing ring where he has fared rather successfully. There is a bit of wanderlust in his blood, and so, should he receive his chance, he will ioin the Merchant Marine to see the world. JAMES FRANCIS HOLLIS-Annunciation-Serious, analyzing, Jim has been one of the most active elements which has graced the halls of Central during the last four years. A potent member of the Camera Club, he also collects stamps, specializing in first-day covers. Owing to o fancy for the sea he delights in the tremor of cat-boat racing. A com' pelling love of science prompts us to portend far Jim a career in the field of medicine. JOHN JOSEPH HORVATH-St. Gregory-Mid the twang of bow-strings and the singing of arrows one may invariably find Jack. The accuracy and cool nerves he displays as an archer are subiected to his perusal of the sciences. The glamour and uncertainty of politics appeals to his inquisitive nature along with the hobby of model building. One cannot help but see the bright promises that are ahead for him. 5 ARTHUR JOSEPH HOUTTEMAN-Assumption Grotto-Gentle- man, scholar, athlete, and undoubtedly the greatest pitcher in Central baseball history, Art has hurled the Blue and White to three consecutive Catholic Championships. Our only regret was that Art could not complete his last year with us. Prematurely grasping at his chance for success, he had signed a contract to play with the Detroit Tigers and left us in the spring. ALAN DAVID HUBBELL-Epiphany-Cheerful, serious, AI has built a pedestal of friendliness at Catholic Central since his freshmen year. An advocate of every school enterprise, he stands forth as an ideal of school spirit. He has taken a resolute interest in school activities as a boxer and a guard on the intramural basketball squad. As for the future Al has decided in favor of a course in forestry at Michigan State. CHARLES HENRY HUEBNER-St. Clare de Monfefalco-The many courageous foreign correspondents, who have braved the dangers of battle to bring us first hand accounts of the war, are the ideals to whom Chuck looks. A very graceful exponent of the Terpsichorean arts, he may be found at all the popular dances. Although he expects to serve with the Marines for a time, Chuck eventually will tackle chemical engineering. . . . eniow t K Y. F HENRY DAVID JANIK-St. Hyacinth-Since he finds immense pleasure in hunting and fishing, Hank has selected scientific agriculture and conservation as the life work that will bring him fame and fortune. It will be an enioyable task for him owing to the fact that he takes a fancy to science and mathematics. His reluctance to engage the company of females prompts us to predict a carefree existence for him. ROBERT ADAM JENKINS-St. Mary of Royal Oak-Although Bob has not yet astounded the scientific world with his ex- periments in photography and electricity, he has caused many a Science Club member to gape in astonishment. He gladly donated his knowledge, time and equipment to the Spectrum in an effort to embellish it with pictures. Should this world need a mathematical genius or a brilliant physio-chemist in the post-war era, Bob will surely have the iob. FREDERICK DALY JEROY-Gesu-Socially prominent in the Class of 1945, Fred can look back over his years at Central with complete satisfaction. He finds typical delight in his hobby of accumulating antiquated musical recordings, many of which are unusually valuable. The scandalous crimes perpetrated by the malefactors of the past have so incensed Fred that his fervor will be turned ultimately toward criminology. 1 el'li0'l.'J 0 0 0 JOHN RICHARD JOSAlTlS--Epiphany-The science af me- chanics and flight have always been a source at curiosity to Jacky yet, this conundrum has only spurred him on to ferret out the secrets ol aviation. He has entered his models into sundry airplane meets, and several times has captured inter- national as well as national honors. lt is our earnest wish that someday he shall, as did the daring Siegrid, soar to the heights of Valhalla. GEORGE JOACHIM KRYMOW-St. Scholastica-Prima facie, silent, tactful, George seems to possess the traits familiar only to a good student, but underneath he has at his com- mand exceptional agility, mentally as well as physically. His experience with radio and electricity have made him swift and alert in his decisons. Were we to prognosticate his future, we would see for him unlimited success in college engineering and a career that would parallel Marconi's. ROBERT LAWRENCE KUKLER-Holy Rosary-Philately, the king of hobbies, has opened for Bob a vast repertory of knowledge and has engendered in him the germ of philanthropy. Through his discovery of the customs, ideals and traditions of the world, he has established a clearer understanding of his fellow-man, Postewar security will hinge on the adoption of Charity. lt is certain that Bob will be one of its out- standing proponents. PAUL CHARLES LA MARREfSt. Mary of Redford-Attention, Tiger scouts! There is an individual in our midst whose baseball ability is well worth noting. A stellar hurler on our varsity for the last two years, this handsome, talented gradu- ate has succeeded in maintaining a four year honor average. With an eye to the future, Paul hopes that upon termination of his service with the Marine Corps, he may return to secure a college education. JOHN RICHARD LANDRY-Epiphany-Laconic, but expressive, small in stature, yet tall in virtue, Jack can always be found among informal discussions, giving either his advice or con- structive criticisms. ln his spare time the novelty of philately lascinates him. His attraction toward Latin and English are a sure sign that next fall will find him in attendance at the Notre Dame College of Arts and Letters. BRIAN JEROME LEAVYV- Gesu-A high scorer in the Blood and Thunder intramural basketball league and one of the glamour boys ot the Senior Class, Promoter holds three perfectly cast keys to success: intelligence, personality, and physical stamina. His accomplishments in the classroom and on the basketball court promise to be dwarfed in the years to come, when the title of M.D. will grace the name of so afloble and capable a graduate. . :S VS. - :Q t ftefhis r ESE RS 's . XWN. X XE A . . . Q-Seniow JOHN ROBERT LEE-St. Edward-Brilliant, taciturn, Jack is typical of the principles upon which our school is founded. His iourneys into the realm of philafely have won for him the knowledge of a vast, new world. His zeal for all activities underlies the great loyalty he has for his school. A tenacious, prodding nature and a strong Catholic character, can only present him with a happy, useful and exciting life. JOHN EDWARD LERCHEN-Visitation-When Samuel F. B. Morse first invented the telegraph he had no idea that his discovery would someday cause Jack to aspire toward the field of electricity. Yet, his hobbies do not end with this. His skill at photography is surpassed only by his proficiency as a business man. We feel that this training will aid him immensely when he becomes president of the Detroit Edison Company. JOHN JOSEPH LYNETT-St. Theresa-When they strike up the band and the couples sweep out upon the floor, one will inevitably find John, either creeping into a fancy jitterbug step, or gliding smoothly across the floor to the tune of n rhythmic waltz. His gay, nonchalant outlook on life seems to immunize him against all vicissitudes. The colorful en- chanting atmosphere of Broadway attracts him to the theatre, upon cessation of hostilities. JOHN PATRICK MALONEY-St. Agnes-Admittedly a social butterfiy, domineering Pat may be seen at all the prominent dances, especially in connection with the Ex-cent-trix fraternity. Comely and popular, his profound fondness for physics under- lies his membership in the Science Club. Discounting the fact that he may don the raiment of a Marine, Pat intends to master the ologies of medicine at the University of Notre Dame. PETER DAVID MANNING-St. Charles Borromeo-Reserved, scholarly, Pete is well known to all his classmates. Though an ardent sports fan, the enigmas of philosophy and the ethereal strains of classical music have claimed him as their own. Thus, as we scan the horizon, we see Peter Manning, Ph.D., or will the name Manning become synonomous with those of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms? MYLES DANIEL MARKEY-St. Matthew-Notable performances in football games and in practice led the coach to award Myles o coveted berth on our Shamrock eleven. His play during the season was excellent and consistent. Although he will never again don the blue and gold of Catholic Central, it is his desire to play football at the University of Detroit while finishing an engineering course. CSel'll:0'lJ 0 0 0 sie 'G-' CLARENCE JOSEPH MARSHALI.fAssumption Grotto- Bubs ' personality emanates from his confessed love for people. The fact that he is so willing and anxious to assist his fellow students has promulgated his name and accomplishments throughout the school. In his free time Bubs takes delight in scoring strikes and spares . Filial pride prompts him to undertake a business education, so that when the time comes, he will be prepared to manage his father's retail concern. EUGENE ARTHUR MARTZ-St. Brigid-The superb products of Father French's Freshmen Boxing Club are due in no small degree to the efforts of Gene, whose sage, encouraging ad- vice has helped many a contestant to attain the height of pugilistic power. Not only in boxing, but in all activities, he lends his talents for their success. This alone is sufficient foundation for our trust in him. ANTHONY CHARLES MASCARI--Patronage of St. .losephf With that certain finesse that almost every amateur hobbyist must possess Tony has shot action pictures of everything from sunsets to basketball players at the climax of a game. Included among them are many detailed pictures of model airplanes which he has meticulously constructed. If he should be called into the service of his country, he will express a preference for aerial photography in the Navy. JOSEPH NICHOLAS MAZUR-St. Dominic-Patience, courage, study and prayer-this is Joe's recipe for success. Moreover, it is not only preached, but also practiced in his life on the gridiron, in the classroom and at home. Like many of his friends he enjoys swimming, bowling and ice-skating. His renown as a speed skater will be surpassed only by the fame that will one day be his, as Joseph N. Mazur, B.S., M.S., Sc.D. RICHARD HAROLD McASKlN-St. Brigid-After a hectic cam- paign in which the proximity of the outcome gave both candidates and voters an unforgetable thrill, Dick succeeded in capturing the Senior Class presidency. He won the sup- port of his loyal football admirers along with that of the students who saw in him the ideal qualities of a leader. With his experience as a class executive he might someday attain national prominence. PATRICK JAMES MCCAFFERY-St. Brigid-A fond believer in the philosophy that life is what you make it, Pat has skillfully employed his talents in improving his intellect and making a name for himself at Central. Caught in the whirlpool of society, he finds little time to pursue his favorite hobbies of hunting and fishing. To Notre Dame for a degree of LL.D. is his ultimate destination. . . . fbeniow HOWARD IGNATIUS MCDOUGALL - Gesu - Like an unre- strained comet shooting out of space, Mac glides across the silvery ice with the poise of a stag ond the complacence of an acrobat. The pride of Central and the envy of lmmaculata, he has established himself among skating circles as The Wizard on Winged Feet . Perhaps when the Ice Follies of T949 perform at the Olympia, the symetric figure with Sonia Henie may be our own Mac. ROBERT JOSEPH MCKEON-St. Francis de Sales-The gurgling of a woodland stream, the song of the casting rod and the general enchantment of outdoor life sound a responsive note in a sportsman's heart. No truer one than Bob can be found. On his father's farm he has distinguished himself as a marksman and an angler. Moreover, with his spirit of fair play and profuse knowledge he can do much to oust selfishness from human relations. GERARD CLEMENT MCLAUGHLIN--Precious Blood-Prominent, physically as well as socially, at any event that requires the zest of youth to enliven it, Mac is the Mister Five-by-tive of Central . His robust figure is an asset to him, for it generally results that such a person is iolly and iocose. Should he be able to overcome the tremendous force of universal gravita- tion, his services will be welcomed as an airlines pilot. WILLIAM BERNARD McNANNEY-St. Anthony-An ardent od- mirer of the famous Greek orator, Demosthenes, Bernard, our own silver-tongued rhetorician very eloquently expounds the foremost problems of the land. It logically follows that his dramatic ability varies directly as his powers of oratory. In his leisure hours, since he has his pilot's license, the sound of throbbing motors and the secure feeling of the stick in his grasp lure him to the heavens. RALPH BENEDICT MEISTER-St. John the Evangelist-Ralph has spent four fruitful years of study under the direction of the Basilian Fathers. Rarely has Central produced anything for which he has not done his utmost to assure success. He enioys sports and has a fondness for Spanish and religion. After graduation Ralph will ioin the Maritime Service with the intention of continuing on even after the war, making it his career. GABRIEL PETER MIGALA-St. Joachim-Be it athletics, school- work, or music, Gabe is always hovering near the top. Books, books and more books line the shelves of his room, far he prizes literary gems above all things in the realm of culture. Using this as a standard, we can only vision success for this popular, hard-working fellow. We feel sure that he will realize his fondest hope as Gabriel Migala, M.D. beniow . . . Fw l x 1 x , f NEIL JOSEPH MlGANvSt. Matthew-Neil is a man about town. His little black book abounds with the names of maidens from East Detroit to Ecorse. If we were to say that his handsome features alone were responsible for his popu- larity, we would do him a grave iniustice, since most of his friends are won over by his ingenuous nature. His desire to study engineering will be temporarily interrupted by the call of the Navy. JOSEPH ANTHONY MlGI.lO-St. Brigid-lt is un fait accompli that when Joe steps far behind the line of scrimmage and draws back his arm, the crowd is about to witness a spec- tacular pass play. For Joe almost unfailingly carries out his part of the Miglia-Wightkin clique. The transition to his life's work will not be difficult, since he will turn from throwing aerials ta making them in a college radio course. PETER DAVID MILLS-Visitation-The daring young man an the flying trapeze had nothing on Pete. A member of the Civil Air Patrol, he has oftentimes tried his hand at flying. A consistent member of the Camera Club in his first two years, his iob with a drug company prevented him from continuing. Having this experience at his fingertips a course in pharmacy will be merely a matter of review. EMMET JOHN MORRISSEY-St. Luke-Almost as well known as Mr. Ford himself, any mention of Mr. Morrissey would be incomplete without a word about the various automobiles of which he has been the owner during his life at Central. He has yet to arrive here in a car retaining all of its fenders, running boards, windows and other accessories. Even with his redundant mechanical talents, to be an accountant is his aim. THOMAS JOHN MULLIGAN-St. Gregory-With a keen, in- quisitive personality Tom finds it no trouble at all to ferret out the amazing secrets of science. Whether in class or out, he carries on a constant search for those facts which will aid him in his career as a chemical engineer. If all goes well, next tall should find him on his way to Annapolis, armed with an A average. RICHARD JAMES MURPHY-Precious Blood-A softball player of great repute and an avid amateur photographer, Dick demurely describes himself as a wolf. His ability to derive a certain aesthetic pleasure from the sciences and that vague intangible stuff called mathematics is demonstrated by his record as a pillar of the Science Club. The Murphy-Petrini free medical clinic, now in the planning, will hold to the loftiest possible standards with this embryonic Mayo at the controls. MICHAEL EDWARD NADER-St. Dominic-Petit Mike has been adopted by his older brothers . In classes, however, even though he is the youngest graduate, he has put many of these older brothers to shame as an actor, writer and bibliophile. Armed with a ready smile, a genial personality and his experience as business manager of the Shamrock, he hopes to tackle a promising career in commerce. RICHARD FREER NOWAK-Epiphanyv Miss Nowak was one of the five gorgeous maidens who melted the hearts of our soldiers, sailors and marines in Stage Door Canteen. Perhaps the best reason for his adaptation to the part is his iovial, frivolous nature. In the serious moments, however, Dick's bent for the sciences place him high on the list of Central students who will someday teach all nations . HOWARD ANDREW NOWLAN-Epiphany-By no means a petty pugilist, Howard has for two years trodden the canvas of Father French's gym with unfaltering courage. Although his valiant attempts were unrewarded with huge success, nevertheless, he has developed a spirit of sportsmanship and perseverance that surpasses by far all material gain. An honor student of four years, the future will find him pursuing the stork to many American homes. MICHAEL LEO O'CONNOR-Precious Blood-Laboring under the principle that school is a medium for success, Mike was a member of the Camera Club and played the clarinet in the band. Being a sportsman, he has spent ci great deal of time away from school hunting, fishing and hiking. Since chemistry is his favorite subiect, Mike intends to adopt medi- cine as his key to unlimited success. RlCHARD PHILLIPS O'CONNOR-St. Matthew-A subtle wit and a perpetual smile, that are characteristic of any true Irishman, are qualities possessed by Dick which most of his friends take for granted. Bowling, swimming and dancing all have their desired effect of providing him with recreation. His penchant for chemistry and mathematics cause him to aspire to a career that will rank him with such scientific greats as Archimedes and Lavoisier. JOHN JOSEPH O'DONNELL-Christ the King-If we can con- sider popularity as a norm for success, then we can honestly say that Jack will rise to unrestrained heights. Besides, having played freshmen football and intramural basketball, he indulges in two advantageous hobbies, photography and radio. When he is not experimenting with a radio set, he is consulting technical books on the subiect. Any way that you look at it, Jack will find a foolproof plan for success. . . beniou '. s-. x V. . :fi 'fi' :ia -sf :val 85.2.1 Q V.. ff . . .,... V AR! . .rg-K - Seniou . . . JOHN ROBERT ODOR-St. John Berchman-Behold, we have in our midst a trumpet player whose musical feats have carried him to the studios of WWJ and to many concert halls. Jack is extremely popular in his parish Youth Club where he entertains at the weekly iam-sessions with smooth renditions of the current tunes. Undecided whether to become a his- torian or an electrician, he will first sample the training of the Marines. ROLAND LAWRENCE OLZARK-Assumption Grotto-Dramatics, athletics and studies all come under the title of A Day's Work to Olly , Although he is small in stature, he ranks high in his class, having been an honor student for four years. He has a particular liking for English, but the semen of baseball, which has grown in him ever since he first began to walk, spurs him on to an adventure with the Detroit Tigers. MICHAEL GERARD O'MARA-St. Rita--Dynamic, docile, Red is truly typical of Catholic Central's Irish. This popular mem- ber of the Ward-Bushey-O'Mara triumvirate has sparkled in the cornet section of the band for four years. Though the haunts of Michigan's great north woods call enticingly, Red will pursue a dentlst's career after he appeases his desire to study Latin and the sciences. GENO ANGELO PERINI-St. Clemens-Unanimously named on the All-City basketball team and the proud possessor of on A average through four years, Geno may well look back with pride upon his blissful days at Central. His superior ability won for us the divisional basketball title. An erudite nature emanating from persistent study, coupled with a vivacious intellect, spell sure success for this eventual patron of the arts and sciences. JOSEPH JOHN PETERS-Precious Blood-Since he experienced his first toothache, Joe has promised himself that someday, when he becomes o dentist, he will alleviate the pain that accompanies such an illness. ln the meantime he has sought to intermingle his studies with basketball and social activities, thereby balancing his training. His favorite radio show is the Pepsodent program, as you might guess. Who knows, someday he might find a substitute for irium ? MARIO ANTHONY PETRINI-Santa Maria-A philatelist of some note ond one of the foremost Thespians ever to tread before Central's footlights, Mario, with his salient wit and timely philosophy, has elevated the standards of scholastic propriety. If his medical career in any way follows the glittering panorama of his accomplishments in the classroom, behind the speaker's platform, and as vice-president of the Senior Class, the world may soon welcome another Pasteur or Reed. sq ! C l at P' 13 . . . Seniow 1 grzxas it CHARLES ANTHONY PORRETTA--St. Luke-Docile but tena- cious, laconic but voluble, Charlie's achievements in his four years at Central have been a colorful checkerboard of suc- cesses. ln spite of his myriad activities on the Shamrock and Spectrum staffs, he has found time to become an honor student and a socialite without peer. A host of friends will serve him in good stead when he follows in his father's footsteps to become one of the truly great surgeons of America. GERALD SYLVESTER REDOUTEY--St. Mary of Redford-Did you ever wonder what makes Father Clemens' musical ex- travaganzas such great successes? A brief talk with Jerry will answer this question for you immediately. He was one of the many little noticed but invaluable members of the chorus in both Stage Door Canteen and Corn on the Cob. When not worshipping at the altar of Thespes, he enjoys the study of civics. He plans to attend U. of D. after dropping his quota of block-busters on the Berchtesgarden. JOSEPH BERNARD REGAN-Our Lady of Sorrows-A paragon of sagacity and physical prowess, Joe is the Gentleman Jim of the Farmington social circle. He makes the long trek in from that distant outpost every morning, blazing the trail with his C card in a manner reminiscent of the heyday of Barney Oldfield. Beneath his almost perfect physique is a heart of gold and a mind of hair-trigger accuracy. JOHN ALVIN RIORDAN-Precious Blood-Realizing that if one is going to be called upon to serve in the Armed Forces when he becomes of age, and must therefore be physically fit, Jack has allied himself with a youth boxing club. He is exceptionally fond of tinkering with old machinery. With a preparation such as his, the task of adiusting himself to Navy life will entail only the application of his abilities. JAMES FRANCIS SAGE-Blessed Sacrament-Whether it be booklet panes , commemoratives , gutter-blocks , or cachets you are sure to find them all in Jim's stamp col- lection. Without a doubt his is perhaps the most complete assortment of philatelic gems at school. He estimates its value at approximately one thousand dollars. For this reason more than any other, it is likely that he will enter the retail stamp mart this summer. EDWARD VINCENT SCHINDLER-St. Theresa-Ed, like the Troian hero, Aeneas, is somewhat of an accomplished sailor. He spent all last summer sailing on the Great Lakes, and plans to do so again this summer. He is very interested in radio and collects old newspapers for their historic content. His latent business acumen was discovered by the Shamrock advertising staH for whom he labored unceasingly during the past year. CSel'li0'lJ 0 0 0 PETER ARTHUR SCHULTZ-Holy Name-Somewhat of a big brother to Catholic Central athletics is tacit, good-hearted Pete. Although he has not taken active part in varsity competition, nevertheless, his omnipresence and helpful ad- vice have established him as a legend among Central sports. Perhaps he is bert known for his daily reception at the Com- munion rail, a criterion by which we can perceive a fervent propagator of Catholic Action in this unprincipled world. ERVIN JOHN SEASER-St. Margaret Mary-The day is not far off when Erv will realize his life's ambition: to study engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ln order to prepare himself for this laborious enterprise, he intermingles science, mathematics, sports and dancing so as to develop his moral, mental, and physical faculties to the ut- most. There is little more we can say except 'Good luck, Erv . JAMES ALFRED SHAUGHNESSY-St. Brigid-Beloved by both student body and faculty, suave, debonair Shaughn divides his time between dramatics, the Spectrum staff, the student council and the Sigma Omega Chi. His leadership ability is apparent, for whenever a leader is needed, Jim is in- variably chosen. A St. Basil Club member throughout his four years, he eagerly anticipates the day that the command of iournalism will be his. JAMES FRANKLIN SHEA+Gesu-Coming to Central in his sophomore year from Chicago, where he starred in football, Jim, in hardly any time at all, established himself as an integral part of our beloved institution. His proficiency in all phases of education brand him as a scholar and a gentle' man. Because of his bent for winter sports, he hopes to obtain a commission in the Army ski troops. JOHN JOSEPH SIMPSON-Precious Blood--Wavy locks and an infectious smile are immaterial in themselves, but when employed by Jack to amass his sundry acquaintances, they prove themselves truly an asset. To segregate him from teen-age social life would be the some as destroying a tree's root, for his cheerful presence transforms apathy into anxiety. Foresight and perseverance will characterize the engineer of tomorrow, and who can deny Jack's capability for mechanics? BEDE JOSEPH SLOMINSKI-Holy Name-lnheriting to a great extent the spiritual sperm of his patron saint, Bede is ex- tremely fascinated by the holy grandeur and sublimity of Gregorian Chant. It is no wonder then that religion and music are his favorite subjects. Should God instill in him a further desire for a vocation, he is ready and willing to renounce the iollity of the world for the satiety of the priesthood. VA-self' Lx an., 0 0 O ROBERT EDWIN SMITH-St. Gregory-Possessing ornate side- burns and a hospitable smile, Bob, one of the oft mentioned Smith boys , efficiently conducts the affairs of the Missions in his homeroom. Assiduity in this work has developed in him a keen sense of responsibility and an appreciation of the task undertaken by our mission Fathers. By these criterions can we best iudge Bob's success at Michigan State College. WILLIAM JEROME SOBKOWIAK-St. Brigid-A pleasing man- ner and a heart of gold have caused Bill to be caught up in a veritable whirlpool of social activity both in school and at his own parish, gaining for him a host of friends. He hopes to glean enough knowledge from his Spanish classes to help him should he be called south of the border during his career as one of our better Certified Public Accountants. ALBERT JEROME SONNENBERG-St. Mary of Redford-Debom air, effervescent, Big Al has found fame, good fortune and o host of friends at Catholic Central. A favorite before the footlights and at every social function, he is certainly no stranger to the lassies of our fair city, especially those up Redford way. However, after he sinks the .lap Navy, Al will mend his Bohemian ways to undertake an advertising course at Notre Dame. THOMAS MICHAEL STANNERS-Epiphany-Flaming red hair and a genius for argument, Tom nonchalantly indulges in bowling, swimming and an occasional iitterbug session. At the same time he is preparing himself mentally for a position as a prosecuting attorney. However, his ambitions do not end herey for after he has mastered the principles of iustice, the United States Congress may receive into their ranks a zealous humanitarian. FREDERIC PAUL STOCKING-Guardian Angel-Another in the famous line of Stockings, Fred's delight lies in anything mechanical. Consequently, he is quite contented when he can tinker with the intricate parts of any complex mechanism. If on some future date you are cruising along the open highway on your post-war vacation, it is probable that you may spend the night at one of Stocking's Super Summer Resorts. i DANIEL WILLIAM SULLIVAN-St. Charles-This gay young blade has done much to enliven the iolly atmosphere of Central society. Dan has played football since his sophomore year and intramural basketball all four years. In his second year he burned up the league carrying off high scoring honors. Being a confirmed bachelor, his pet aversion is women, which explains why he is so anxious to enlist and be sent to some remote battlefield. Q Q Q DONALD JEROME THEISEN-St, of every scientific debate looms to say that he is an outstanding it would take hours to mention of chemistry and physics hold T Matthews-In the foreground quiet, brilliant Don. Simply graduate would suffice, since all his deeds. The enigmas no terrors for this affable member of the Theisen-Becker axis. After a brief soiourn with the Navy, he hopes to make chemistry a career. FRANCIS DENNIS THIEL-St. David-Already a master of sines and cosines Frank has climaxed an illustrious high school career, sparked by his exploits in the fields of science and mathematics. Through the study of civics and religion he has increased his knowledge concerning political problems which in the future he hopes to solve. However, should he change his mind, an auditor's position will always be open. EDWARD RAYMOND TOBIN-St. Luke-The classical poets of Greece and Rome believed that tallness was a sign of exceptional beauty. In Ed's case the belief seems to be substantiated. His beauty is not merely skin deep, for one could not hold so many friends by hypocrisy. Before gradua- tion most students plan for the future, yet, Ed has many times mentioned his desire to relive his high school days. ROBERT THOMAS TROZAK-St. Augustine-ln every respect Bob has been a center of gravity at school. His remark- able personality may be attributed to several factors, but especially to his quiet unassuming manner. Bob has dis- played pronounced ingenuity on the basketball court, as a moral inspiration to his loyal team-mates. Graduation will usher him into a trim naval uniform, while the termination of the war will release him for a prominent business position. LEO EDWARD WAGNER-St. Matthew-Leo has always pos- sessed the uncanny ability to spout forth with comparative ease those chemical hieroglyphics which seem to baffle most of his classmates. Moreover, his marks showed that in all the other subiects, as well as chemistry, he was well versed. Another favorite son of the House of Wagner, Leo will live up to the trust placed in him and gain acclaim as a Nobel prize winner. JOHN FREDERICK WARD-St. Rita-Genial, enterprising, .lack has cemented many a friendship here at Central. A prop of the trumpet section of our band, his versatility has carried him into the boxing ring and the basketball court with more than fair success. When he puts aside his Navy wings, Jack hopes to pursue a course in Dentistry at the University of Detroit. 0 0 0 c5el'li0'1.4 W? ROBERT THOMAS WATTS-St. Agnes-W hen meat rationing was inaugurated several years ago, Biff must have pilfered extra red points. Yet, his obesity has socially. Witty, good-natured and on table delicacies, he manages to keep not hampered him ardent amorist of himself under two hundred pounds by skating and bowling. On the serious side Biff , in studying chemistry and Latin, aspires to a medical career so that he may rid the world of disease. FRANK JOSEPH WHITE-St. Agnes-Productive but modest, Frank has found himself welcome among any society at Catholic Central. His friendly disposition and his depend- ability have attracted a variety of friends. An ardent sports- man, he has been a constant supporter of intramural and varsity activities. Possessing an enthusiasm as well as a genius for mathematics, Frank has a proclivity for auditing following his graduation. WILLIAM JOHN WIGHTKIN-Gate of Heaven-Summa Ath- letae can best describe perhaps the most versatile sportsman in the school. This proud but modest possessor of five varsity letters also hold the school's heavyweight boxing crown. Bill is captain of the football team and has regained recognition this year as an All-State end. A violin virtuoso of excep- tional ability, his redundant talents and true Catholic traits will aid him immensely in his adventure at Notre Dame, CLARENCE PETER WILHELM-Sf. John the Evangelistfwhen speaking of unsung heroes, good-natured, generous Kaiser is truly the creature that fate has maligned. ln two years as student manager Clarence was to our championship foot- ball and basketball teams what the infantry is to the Army. His perseverance and keen mind will certainly attain for him his fondest hopeean appointment to Annapolis, followed by a career as a Naval engineer. LEON WILLIAM WILLIAMS-Epiphany-Engendered with a chronic lust for the wide open spaces, every year finds Bill pursuing the barks of the bird dogs in search of wild game. Between seasons his time is consumed on the basketball court, delving into squares and logarithms or making sure that the city is refreshed with Coca'Cola, In future years he hopes to refresh this mechanical age with new ideas in engineering. ROBERT LEO WILLIAMS-Precious Blood--A stellar end on our football squad, Bob is adept at all phases of athletics, especially swimming. His proficiency in mathematics will stand him in good stead when he treks to Notre Dame upon his graduation from Central to maior in radio engineering. The spirit of sportsmanship and competition gained through athletics will be well utilized along with his intellect at Westinghouse Electric. Q-Seniou . . ALVIN JOSEPH WINKEL-St. Gregory-The broad rolling lawns and verdant fairways have always appealed to Al. ln the spring one can, without fail, find him, golf club in hand, following through with a long drive or executing a difficult putt. However, golfing does not take all of his time. He revels in the study of trigonometry and algebra, probably because he hopes to attain a high rating in the Navy. His fine scholastic record will indeed speak loudly for him. ALFRED EMILE YEZBICK-Blessed Sacramentvulights, camera, music, action! These exciting, glamorous words Fred some- day hopes to make a part of his daily vocabulary. Since there have been so many advancements in photography and motion pictures, he feels that there is certainly a place for him. Friendly and elated, he will tind an appropriate train- ing in the Army Air Corps, followed by a course in art and dramatics at Michigan. GUSTAVE GEORGE ZlELKE-Assumption Grotto-When the soothing, melodious notes of the trumpet are heard above the sound of the other brass and the rumbling of drums, we instantly recognize Central's master of the fanfare, Gus Zielke. A fond proponent of jazz music, it is due partly to this fact that he is so extremely popular at social gatherings. Armed with his knowledge of trigonometry and algebra, he hopes to become a government engineer. THOMAS JOSEPH ZWERS-Christ the King-Magnifying glass in one hand, a detective novel in the other, the indomitable Mr. Zwers treads the path of fictitious crime in an effort to acquire the observant qualities of a champion of iustice . His particular fondness for the sciences indicate that upon graduation the F.B,l. will be certain to insert him into their ranks. What fear then will we have of saboteurs with Agent Zwers on the fob? By sacrificing some of the exclusive ioys and celebrations of the senior year, five members of the class of 1945 have entered the St. Basil Novitiate. These fellows, Alan Cumming, Francis Day, Michael Hier, Ronald Pazik and Robert Quinlan, are a step ahead of the other graduates, for they have already begun to progress along their chosen paths of life. Theirs is to be the duty and the task of training the minds of the future Catholic Central students in truth and wisdom, even as they themselves have been trained. We, who were their fellow students for three years, wish them continued success, realizing that the Basilian order has gained five very promising candidates. -Charles A. Porretta 34 gra ualest at Sl. Jb9a.4il,.4 ouitiate um aunt, Iamat JOHN MICHAEL HUGHES BLESSED SACRAMENT CATHOLIC CENTRAL 1941-44 Born: September 9, 7927 On a destined day last fall the wick of a heavenly candle burned low, the flame in the heart of John Michael Hughes quivered for one brief moment, and then went out forever. Many will say that Mike died that day, rather, he had iust begun to live. Only God knows the true story of his life. Yet, those of us who admired him as a daily communicant, a cham- pion of fair play, a disciple of Charity, and an all-around Catholic young man, knew the gen- uine John Michael Hughes. No, he was not perfect, for no one is. Perhaps that is what was unique about Mike. He was cognizant of his faults and endeavored unceasingly to correct them. God's pleasure and subsequent desire to reward him was exemplified prior to his death. Through the reception of the last Died: October 26, 7944 sacraments his soul was consumed in the Fire of Divine Love. Though he had suffered excru- ciating pain, his soul and mind were tranquil, for Mike was fully aware that death was stalk- ing near. But he knew that the God he had worshipped throughout his life would not dis- appoint him now .... Behold, l am with you all days, even unto the consummation of the world .... No matter how great our bereave- ment, it is incomparable with that of his rela- tives and intimate friends. The casual reader of this epitaph may soon forget Mike, but his friends, knowing that God may not have or- dained for him to enter heaven immediately, will, by prayer and petition, intercede for him. . . . We have loved him during life, let us not abandon him, until we have conducted him by our prayers into the house of the Lord. equiescat Ein are FATHER J. SHEEHY, C.S.B. Hisfory FATHER G.

Achievement, not in the sense that we have produced something infin- itely sublime, but that we have gained some inward satisfaction from our efforts. lt is our earnest desire that the results of these efforts have assimilated for you the essence of the past four years in the finite space of this Senior Annual. What, in the past, has undoubtedly made each yearbook an improvement over the preceding ones can perhaps be attributed to the spirit which exists among all activities at Catholic Central: Any- thing worth doing is worth doing well . Perfection is unattainable, it simply exists as an incentive. We at Central always endeavor to be on top. With this same introspection we of the Shamrock staff, especially Father Fisch- ette, have enthusiastically devoted our- selves to the promulgation of a new, and we hope, improved Shamrock. Your ap- preciation of it will be the sole estimate of our success. -Stephen J. Galla Stephen J. Gallo, Editor Charles A. Porretta, Associate Editor, Father R. M.

The official voice of Catholic Central, the Spectrum, has proven itself a forceful echo in the caverns of school activities. With Editor Mario Petrini directing, a revolution broke the Spectrum standards of previous years. A new heading was drawn, new columns were added and a more vivid pre- sentation of the news was achieved by the use of numerous pictures. The actual size of the edition was more than doubled when a fifth column was added and three inches were unfolded from the bottom. Several undergraduate writers were adopted and trained for future expansion, while the abilities of more accomplished journalists were utilized to the utmost advantage. The policies of the editorial staff, which were typical of the views and ideas of-the average student, have been responsible for the establishment of a basketball Intramural Night and the formation of the Monogram Club. The columnists have done a commend- able iob of presenting both the lighter and the more serious vignettes of school life in fascinating phrases. This was especially noticeable in The Sports Corner, a creation of the present editorial regime, and in the ever colorful Corridor Chat. Special Mention was given by the Cath- olic Press Association for the life-like exam- ples depicted by the staff photographer. Yet, despite the marvelous achievements of this year, we perceive an even more re- splendent future for this constantly improv- ing publication. -Charles A.

Through it, self-confidence is establishedp and the power to converse intelligently is cultivated. This year, the most distinguished orators of the school lined up in competition and while the outcome was close, it was not surprising. The senior champion was James Drennan, who earned the award for the second straight year with his intelligent discussion of Compulsory Military Training. Albert Lapshan outspoke his opponents as his Enemy Atrocities led him to the junior crown. It was Thomas Brennan's When the Soldier Comes Home that placed him on the sophomore throne and Francis Lacey, in a talk on Your Neighbor , defeated all Freshman talent. Charles A. Porretta.

Immediately, a determination to accomplish their purpose was exemplified by the wise choice of officers. A capable president was found in Bill Wight- kin Roland Olzark was chosen vice- president and Don Berner, secre- tary In addition a committee of ix was formed to act as an advisory body to the officers.

Only too often dire consequences result from incompetent leadership. With these thoughts in mind council was chosen which would, and has, con ducted the affairs of the Senior Class faithfully and proficiently. The arrangements for the Senior Prom and the purchase of the Class rings were only a few of the numerous details that succumbed to their hard work and persever ance. Undoubtedly the most important accom plishment, however, was the attainment of a perfect unison between the faculty and the stu dent body-a factor that we will not fully ap preciate for years to come.

Its eventual formation, however, was attended by an overwhelming number of prospective members who were eager to learn the fundamentals and functions of amateur photograph.

To him, therefore, the club owes a debt of gratitude for a maior portion of its activity. -Stephen J.

FRANK RYAN Band Moderator Director Catholic Cen tra an From a mediocre marching band several years ago to one of the foremost in the city today, this vastly improved group of musicians has well established the name of Catholic Central among music circles. A unique reper- toire of selections and formations at football games in addition to the popularity which they have enioyed at extramural social functions is a satisfactory norm for estimating their progress. As a concert band, the com- parative ease of their transformation displayed definite versatility. In the background of all this renown, watching with a paternal eye, stand Father Regan, the Faculty Moder- ator, and Mr. Ryan, the Director. The acting interest shown by both has assured, and shall continue to assure, these young men of improvement, individually as well as cllectively. Such competent leadership and surging am- bition are intrinsic factors that will surely enable them to forge an unending chain of deeds throughout the pass- ing years. -Stephen J.

We were indeed for- tunate to procure for the occasion Bob Baker and his orchestra. Along with the myriad of pleasurable moments we have experienced during high school, that evening of May 4 in the Crystal Ballroom-Italian Gardens of the Book-Cadillac Hotel shall remain indelibly impressed upon our minds-a fitting climax to four years of fraternity. -Stephen J.

During the intermission, Father Embser chats with several students and their dates.

It is very doubtful that the Boystown-Catholic Central Football Game could have been promoted without the diligent, unrelenting eFforts of our parents and friends. This pronounced interest on behalf of our scholastic life is analogous to that which they have always shown for our personal welfare.

Only by achieving successfspiritual as well as tem- poral-can we repay their faith in us. Always an integral part in the yearly cycle of school activities is the Mothers' Club. The termination of Mrs. C. H. Edwards' two-year period as president left a va- cancy which hos been ably filled by Mrs. E. J. Chevalier, the new president. The other executive officers elected were Mrs. J. Cronin, 'lst vice-president, Mrs. G. Lynch, 2nd vice-president, Mrs, F. S. Porretta, 3rd vice-president, and Mrs. T. Ryan, 4th vice-president. The Mothers' Club climaxed what proved to be one of their most auspicious years with the annual Easter Mon- day Bridge Tea. Its huge success was due in a great part to the entertainment committee who procured for the occasion the services of the Breakfast at Sardi's variety show. The novel program of entertainment, which John Slagel, as master of ceremonies, presented, was acclaimed by all as a truly interesting one. As long as we shall have memories of our self-sacri- ficing, sympathetic mothers, we shall never forget the indispensable role they have played in our past training and our formal education at Catholic Central, as well as the one they shall play in that all too uncertain future which we must inevitably surmount. --Stephen J, Gallo Scenes from the Breakfast at Sardi's Program TOP TO BOTTOM The Prize-Committee makes preparations for the winners.

FORAN, C.S.C.

Thoughts of the world are sub- jected to reflection on our maculate souls which have tottered for so many months at the abyss ot sin. As the prisoner in solitary confinement Father Foran gives the Papal Blessing The student body kneels cluring Beneoliction cutter the Retreat. of the Blessed Sacrament. 1 Father Foran addresses an intent audience during one of the conferences searches frantically into the formidable darkness of his cell for a glimpse of light-a faint hope of freedom-we also penetrate the Gates of Heaven for some promise of deliverance from our cell of diabolical imprisonment. We enter the Retreat as suppliants, our cry is a repentant one, as the vox clamantis in deserto . With eight hundred students united in prayer and adoration, how can God in all His infinite goodness refuse His graces? Who would think that the fruits of this Retreat may in themselves be the cause of our salvation? Who knows how many suffering souls may be delivered from Purgatory by our devotion? Who can fathom the depths of Almighty God's mercy and justice? Students kneel to receive the scapular from Father Foran, Our Retreat Master, the Rev. Father Michael J. Foran, C.S.C., believing that those in attend- ance, and not the priest, are responsible for the major success of the Retreat, discarded the trite emotions of oratory for the clear, cold logic of reality. We were presented with the alternative of becoming as little children or facing eternal damnation. So effective were his examples that hardly a student departed from the conferences without contemplating them deeply. The fact that this was Father Foran's second visit in five years offers apparent hope that he might return again in the near future to lead the students in another offensive against the evils of sin. -Stephen J.

From the separated families and the confused prole- tariat, victims of this most infamous of all wars, arises a plea for mercy and consolation in time of suffering and hardship. Of those who escaped death, how many will be embittered and hateful of mankind in their frenzied plight, unless we, the Propagators of the Faith, set their minds aright? Even those who will look to God for spiritual consolation and material aid may not receive an answer directly from Him, but through our missionary Fathers and our alms. Ours is a task that answers the question, And when did we feed You, Lord? Amen, l say to you, when you have done it to the least of my brethren, you have done it also unto Me. This has been the ultimate goal of the Michael Gal- lagher Mission Unit during the past year. Like all other activities at Catholic Central, their incentive has been the best, not the second best. Their efforts have accumu- lated the enormous sum of S2641.18. Though we are able to estimate our material success, it is impossible to account for the many conversions and vocations that un- doubtedly resulted from our prayers and Communions. For you of Catholic Central who have been so generous in your contributions, the reward shall be great in Heaven . -Stephen J.

The year 'I944 witnessed one of the most unfortunate Catholic Central football seasons ever recorded. A total of seven games were played and, of these, only two were credited as victories in the official record, while two others were ties and three ended in crushing defeat. The season opened with the traditional Hamtramck game and an usual all-out struggle characterized the play. There was no score however, until late in the third quarter, when Don Tighe returned a Hamtramck punt 55 yards for a touch- down. Catholic Central protected this 6-O lead vigorously until, with two minutes to go, the Cosmos scored in the personage of Al Dombrowski and the contest ended 6-6. St. Benedict gave the Shamrocks their first victory, falling beneath a 53-6 attack. This was more or less a breather for the Centralites, who were anxiously resting for the Boys- town game. And at last it came, long to be remembered, a Catholic Central team which scored first and last to climax the 'I4-'I4 Boystown thriller. One week later the Shamrocks faced a brutal River Rouge squad and, at the half, led the maroon and white foe, by virtue of a Miglia-Collins pass, 6-0. However an inspired Rouge team defended the west goal in the second half and, paced by a lad named Mazyck, scored three touchdowns.

The Shamrocks came back in traditional fashion seven days later and scored a 32-13 win over Lansing Resurrec- tion. However a vicious Fordson team pulled Catholic Central further down the ladder of fame with a 13-6 triumph. Three passes accounted for the scoring, Central's being a long hurl from Joe Miglio to Bill Wightkin. Seeking to make a come-back, the Centralites faced a spunky Holy Redeemer squad to determine the Catholic Championship. A Miglia-Collins pass scored first for Cen- tral but Bob Kovalcik countered to tie the game for the Redeemer Lions. Before the half was over, Joe Miglio again heaved to Tim Collins and the Shamrocks led, 12-6. Redeemer returned to the field for the third quarter, utilizing Bob Kovalcik who galloped 18 yards to put the Lions in front. Anxious to score again, Catholic Central drove hard against the Redeemer team and in the escaping last minute opened a ferocious passing attack, 7 yards from the goal line. The Fates, however, smiled again upon Bob Kovalcik, who intercepted a pass and scampered 99 yards to ice the game and championship, 20-12. -Charles A. Porretta Running wide around end, Frank Roe is spilled by Don Tighe, halting a possible first down. Boystown begins its tour of Detroit by a visit to the Ford Rotunda after a civic welcome at the Book-Cadillac Hotel. Jbgogaiown .... October 22, 1944! The streets of Detroit were emptied as 43,539 eager football fans crowded the turnstiles at Briggs Stadium. For today Detroit Catholic Central was scheduled to meet Father Flannigan's famous Boystown. A thrilling cheer greeted Boystown as their blue ierseys were welcomed by the Central gold. The captains were in- troduced at mid-field, the defending goals chosen, a clean game advised by the referee, a word of encouragement and the contest was underway. Catholic Central promised a lopsided score as it charged down the field, Joe Miglia scoring first, after only three minutes of competition. On a trick play the same Miglio took the ball around the end for the extra point and the Catholic Central's Coach Alex Chesney and Acting Captain Joe Miglio score was 7-0. Boystown was undaunted however. Late in the first quarter Don Gunnell blocked a Catholic Central kick and Boystown began the second quarter on the Sham- rock seven-yard line. On the first play Johnny Brogan changed the score to 7-6 and Dick Thomas kicked a con- version to tie up the game. Although there was much excitement, there were no more scores during the first half. The third quarter began, both teams making yardage deep in each others territory, but as yet unable to drive across the goal-line. Still it was not very long before a Boystown thrust overran the Central half of Briggs Stadium and Johnny Brogan scampered for his second touchdown. Dick Thomas again kicked the ball between the posts, above the cross-bar and Catholic Central trailed 'I4-7. meet Boystown's Captain Frank Roe and Coach Skip Palrang. Boystown fumbles!

But through the years a steady advance has been recorded until today it is one of the leading championship contenders in the State. In spite of the damaging mid-season losses of Gene Perini and Bill Wightkin, the Central quintet continued, unimpedecl, to snare the North Division title for the second straight year. However, in the playoffs, St. Stanislaus, exhibiting a marvelous comeback, defeated Jgadkeiball us in overtime. This defeat was unable to curb the spirit of a challenging Central team as it entered the State tournament. Fordson and Dearborn fell rapidly in our path and the blue and white were proclaimed the Regional champions. It remained for a tricky Jack- son team to interfere with our ambitions for the district title and a trip to Lansing. This terminated an en- viable season for our Central five, while next year's chances for the championship seem very promising with only one player lost through graduation. --Charles A.

Ream ue Jbaadketball With the appointment this year of Father Sheedy as coach, the Reserve basketball team was elevated to new heights, capturing its first city championship. The unde- feated quintet engaged in a twelve game schedule. Its player combinations were responsible for such overwhelm- ing scores as 44 to 9 and 50 to 15. This highly successful season qualified them for the Reserve championship semi- finals. The excitement and importance ofthe event seemed LIGHT FRESHMEN BASKETBALL nrf Raw: Mr. J. Abencl, C.S.f5., L.

On the following Sunday Lourdes, the defending champion, took the floor only to be crushed almost imme- diately by the score of 35 to 16.

CENTRAL :J N61 EENTFIQIL 89 KEIITFML mmm CENTR4 It has been discovered around Catholic Central that a school of 800 boys thrives on the various interests of its students. And so, in an ettort to accommodate those whose capabilities tend toward pugilistic perfection, Father French has recently organized a varsity boxing squod as well as a Freshman intramural league. The varsity team has engaged in two contests in its first season of organiza- tion, and, in spite of the fact that it was a loser in both, showed outstanding ag- gressiveness and supported the claim that Catholic Central will soon add a boxing team to its increasing list ot champions.

Strong replacements have been drawn from the Learned Post reservoir and these form the prop on which lean the hopes for the batswingers' eleventh straight championship. Fiery Ollie Olzark returns to his shortstop position and Tom McHale, a Junior, is back for his second year at first base. Perhaps one of the chief coaching worries is the development of a pitching staff, which was crippled when Art Houtteman was called to the professional ranks of the Detroit Tigers. Yet, regardless of the handicap of inexperience, we feel certain that the 1946 Shamrocks will boast the eleventh consecutive baseball championship. -Charles A. Porretta. 92 eafznecl foal Back Row: J.

After an absence of four years, the hockey team made its reappearance into Central athletics, once again under the direction of Father Cullen. lt was received with aggregate enthusiasm by those students who revel in that rough and tumble sport. Three wins, two defeats and one tie register the season as a comparatively successful one considering the more experienced opposition they faced. Because of the uncertainty of weather conditions, Father Cullen expressed hopes of obtaining the Windsor Arena for their games next year. -Stephen J.
