W . , A tr The Senior Class ot nineteen hundred forty-eight respectfully dedicates its volume of the SHAMROCK to Father D. L. Dillon, C. S. B. Founder and first Principal one whose Irish blood has from the beginning introduced the Gaelic note into Catholic Central Lite weniy yeam of Catlnofic fentraf LEO BRODERICK The eminent and Celtic-tinged institution, which today is Catholic Central, had its beginnings twenty years ago when Msgr. Van Antwerp, Pastor of Holy Rosary Church, invited the Basilians to take over his High School. The invitation was accepted, and Frs, D. L. Dillon, Principal, W. C. Sharpe, C. P. Donovan, E. L. Rush, and F. S. Ruth were sent to the Harper Avenue school along with the Scholas- tics, Messrs. S. Murphy, 1. Embser and F. Burns. The first enrollment was two hundred-sixty boys. The staff resided at Saint Anne's Rectory at the foot of the Ambassador Bridge for the first year and drove back and forth in a 1920 Buick, driven alter- nately by Frs. Sharpe and Rush. This situation was remedied when the residence was changed to 79 Medbury Avenue the following year. During the first years, Frank Mcllhargey was the coach. Although good, he didn't seem to have much material, and the football team didn't win a game the first year. ln 1931 Fr. Forestell replaced Fr. Dillon as principal, in which year the total enrollment was two hundred-ninety-two. ln Au- gust, l932 three Catholic Central graduates, Fran- cis Kelly, Ralph Koehler, and Florian Pacher, the first to do so, entered Saint Basil's Novitiate and each has since returned to take a position on the present staff. Detroit's first glimpse of Catholic Central at its present site came in 1932 when Father Connolly, Pastor of Blessed Sacrament Parish, asked the Basilians to take charge of his Holy Name lnstitute, Whose direction had changed hands many times during the previous ten years. Frs. E. L. Rush, I. H. Whelan, and 1. W. Embser were assigned with two Scholastics, Messrs. Diemer and French. At first, Catholic Central and Holy Name lnstitute were The original Catholic Central High School at E0 Harper Avenue 1928-1934 separate schools, but in 1934 the two united and became Catholic Central High School. A third story was then added fthe present senior roomsl. Father Whelan was the next principal and was assisted by Frs. Lowrey, I. C. Mclntyre, Embser, Martin, F. Burns, and three Scholastics, Messrs. Sheehy, Doherty and Petrey. The football team first gained great prominence in 1936 when it won the Catholic League Cham- pionship under the expert guidance of Mr. Iohn Hackett. They went on from there to take many more through the years under Hackett, Mr. Alex Chesney and Mr. Hal Shields. All during this period Father Martin held the Athletic Directorship, besides coaching the baseball teams, which won twelve straight championships. A few firsts: The Spectrum. official publication of the students of Catholic Central was inaugurated in 1936, after a contest was held among the stu- dents to select an original name. ln 1937, the first Yearbook, the Shamrock, was published, and in 1942 the Bulletin Board had its beginnings. lt was necessary in 1937 to make rooms from the then existing gymnasium. These are now the tenth grade classrooms, Nine-four, and the Physics Laboratory. ln September, 1940, work on the con- struction of the gymnasium building was begun, and the dedication held in Ianuary, 1941. On lune 5, 1940, Fr. Whelan died suddenly after six years at the helm. He was succeeded by Father Embser who held office until 1946. The original staff of 1928 are now occupying the following positions: Fr. Dillon is the Assistant Su- perior General of the Basilian Order, Fr. Sharpe is Master of Novices at Rochester, N. Y., Fr. Rush is Superior of Holy Rosary Seminary, Toronto, Fr. Donovan is at Aquinas lnstitute in Rochester, Fr. Ruth, at Assumption, is Supervisor of Scientific Research and Statistics , Fr. Murphy is well known for the Christian Culture Series at Assumption, Fr. Burns is Professor of Economics at Assumption, and Fr. Embser is principal of St. Thomas High School in Houston, Texas. The Basilians who have labored at Catholic Central and have since died are: Fr. S. Nicholson, Fr. 1. B. Flanagan, Fr. Cornelius Sheehan, Fr. 1. Whelan, Fr. lohn Mclntyre, and Fr. Harvey Wilbur. Mr. Charles Roe, a Catholic Central graduate, who entered the Basilians, died in 1938 in Toronto. Catholic Central was started between the two wars. Many of her sons gave their lives in the Second World War. We sincerely hope that these have not died in vain. For two decades the Basilians have endeavored to teach Goodness, Discipline and Knowledge. Always at Catholic Central there has been an esprit de corps existing between the faculty and student body. lt is our hope that this will always continue to be so. .- 1 .,-x V' .1 -pg' gf' . ,, ,-., :gm . , -, 1,,wL.,,- ' , 1 ,-,ge,, ,.

His ElHill9llC0 EIIWAIRID IIAHIIINAL MUUNEY Archbishop of H0lroH l Very Rev. I. D. Sheehy. C.S.B. Principal ol Catholic Central High School aa! .feuon After Saint Paul preached the Gospel to the people of the island of Crete, and had ordained his close companion, Titus, to carry on his work there, he left the island. But, as was his custom, he used to send back instructions to the people he had helped to convert. ln one of these written instructions, Saint Paul wrote to Titus to exhort the young men lof Cretel that they be sober. Sober can be applied to young men in the narrow sense ol its meaning or in a wider sense, ln the latter case it is the mark of the young man who is well-balanced, even tempered, under control. ln a word, it is the distinctive mark of the young man who realizes the importance and seriousness of life. For the past four years you have grown out of the intoxication of the present, so characteristic of Freshmen. And if there was one mark which distinguished you as Seniors this past year, it was sobriety. Things were not quite the same after the Angel of Death paid his fourth visit in a year to the Class of '48, True, you continued to work, to play, and to pray, but all these actions were marked by a seriousness that was absent last September. Overnight you seemed to have grasped the truth that here we have no lasting abode. As school life was but the preparation for alter school living, so temporal life is but the preparation for eternal living. As a Class you have distinguished yourself with high honors in learning this very important Christian lesson, and within a few days Catholic Central will be happy and proud to present her diploma to each of you in her twentieth Graduating Class. , And now on the eve of Commencement, if you would accept one last lesson from your Principal, he would tell you in the words of Saint Paul: Exhort young men that they be sober. ln the years to come as you exercise one of the prerogatives of old age and dream dreams of the past, don't forget the lesson that Bob, lack, Larry and Ron taught you in your Senior Year as they preceeded you into the Eternal Commencement. May you always realize that life is but the preparation for Life. God be with you. IOHN D. SHEEHY, C.S.B. a4r!mini4 Ira iian Father W. P. McGee. C.S.B., Director ol Studies: Father I. D. Sheehy, C.S.B., Principal: Father G. French, Councilor The local Governing Board, pictured above, is commissioned, with the approval of the Archbishop ot Detroit, to operate Catholic Central High School by the General Council ot the Basilian Fathers headed by Very Reverend E. I. lVlcCorkell, C.S.B. Power to grant high school diplomas is conferred by the State Board ot Education. A share of school government is passed on to elected members ot the student body called the Student Council, for in a democratic country it is necessary that the citizens learn to govern themselves as soon as they are able. lt was Father l-lartmann's task to guide this practical exercise in democracy. lt is hoped that future Student Councils will profit by this year's experience and example. Student ounci Officers: G. Dietz, Vice-President, Frank Schlachter, President, P. Houle, Secretary-Troarsur The airplane has its pilot, the ship its captain, and so, in the directive sense, Catholic Central has its Student Council. This Student Administration, elected early in the year from a host of qualified candidates, rose to the responsibilties placed upon it. As a medium between the Faculty and student body, it did much to increase mutual understanding and consequent harmony. lt was under the supervision of the Faculty Moderator, Father Hartmann, and led by President Frank Schlachter. A few activities we can thank our representatives for are: the excellent manage ment of two school dances, the purchase and distribution of school pins, the success of our roller' skating party, and the formation and ratification of a Student Council Constitution. We have indeed had proficient leaders, and our gratitude and congratulations are extended 'O them- IAMES coYLE Council: G. Mills, R. Hamlin, R Ioliat, I. Coyle, D. Szczezzniak, IU. Kazmierczuk, G.

Each year, as the penitential season of Lent draws to a close, our student body sinks into the tranquil meditation and prayer of our Annual Retreat. This year the tragedy that took the lives of three of our seniors three days before the opening of retreat served as an incentive for solemnity on the part of the student body. Ronnie Plecas who lived long enough to voice the plea to the students of CC., Get to the Sacraments every week-Y it's the greatest feeling in the world, must be smiling obligingly as he is counting the lives of boys that were amended during this retreat by his intense suffering and unfaltering faith. Our Retreat Master, Father Frank Gartland CSC., through his inspiring conferences left us with the unforgettable conviction ot the dignity of our human bodies as the l'Temples of the Holy Ghost.

Where'er they pass, A triple grass Thomas Moore And cries. Oh! do not sever A type that blends Three godlike friends, Love, Valor, Wit, forever! Oh the Shamrock, the green, immortal Shamrock! Chosen leaf Of Bard and Chief, Old Erinis native Shamrock! u Shoots up, with dew-drops streaming. As softly green As emeralds seen Thro' purest crystal gleaming. So firmly fond May last the bond, A They wove that morn together, And ne'er may fall Oh the Shamrock, the green, immortal Shamrock! Chosen leaf, Of Bard and Chief, Old Erin's native Shamrock! Says Valor, See, They spring for me, Those leafy gems of morning Says Love, No, no, For me they grow, l - My fragrant path adorning. But Wit perceives The triple leaves, One drop of goll On Wit's celesticll feather. May Love, as twine His flowers divine, Of thorny falsehood wee 'emi May Valor ne'er His standard rear Against the cause of Freedom! Oh the Shamrock, the green, immortal Shamrock! Chosen leaf Of Bard and Chief, Old Erin's native Shamrock! 1 1,3 When Irish eyes are smiling, Sure it's like the morn in Spring, In the lilt of Irish laughter, You can hear the angels sing.

Erin, oh Erin, thus bright thro' the tears Of a long night of bondage, thy spirit appears. The nations have fallen, and thou still art young, Thy sun is but rising, when others are set, And tho' slavery's cloud o'er thy morning hath hung, The lull noon of freedom shall beam round thee yet. Erin, oh Erin, tho' long in the shade, Thy star will shine out when the proudest shall fade. Unchilled by the rain, and unwaked by the wind, The lily lies sleeping thro' winter's cold hour, Till Spring's light touch her fetters unbind, And daylight and liberty bless the young flower. Thus Erin, oh Erin, thy winter is past, And the hope that lived thro' it shall blossom at last.

GAS SERVICE Our Gas service brings greater ease, convenience, comfort, and economy to hundreds of thousands of homes. In them, Gas cooks the food, heats water automatically, refrigerates food, inciner- ates garbage and trash, dries laundry automatically. Housekeeping drudgery has decreased tremendously because of modern Gas service. The industrial use of Gas has increased, too, in the communities we serve. So many things can be done better with Gas! However, Gas service means more than just selling Gas for use in homes and factories. lt means the investment of millions of dollars, maintenance of hun- dreds of miles of mains and services, constant planning to increase and safe- guard supply, constant eftort to render greater service with greater economy.

I. Flanagan Bom ...........,........... Roscommon, Eire, 1886 Ordained .......... ..,. Inns bruck, Austria, 1912 Founded Boystown .... . . .Omaha, Nebraska, 1917 Died .............. .... B erlin, Germany, 1948 For generations unnumbered the Land of Saint Patrick has sent missionary priests to the four cor- ners of the earth to preach, to anoint, to build, to bless, to console, to offer sacrifice. America has been blessed to have received from the Emerald Isle one who loved its underprivileged boys, who believed in their native goodness, who took these neglected products of broken homes and economic distress-fifty-five hundred over a thirty year period-and molded them into children of God and exemplary citizens. Last Fall in connection with the Boystown-Catholic Central football game Father Flanagan said, It is always a pleasure for me to bring my Boys Town football eleven to meet Catholic Central High School of Detroit. There is real satisfaction in watching these two great teams representing two fine schools compete in this most popular scholastic sport. lt is reassuring to see the spirit to win mani- fested in the efforts of the players, but manifested in a truly American way, according to the rules of the game and with the consciousness that it is character that counts on the playing field as well as in every worthwhile endeavor. We can do nothing but concur with these excellent sentiments. To the citizens of Boys Town and those who work with them we at Catholic Central express our sincere sorrow for the death of Father Flanagan. We know that his spirit and ideals will continue in you. Come fuck fo gtin Come back to Erin Mavourneen, Mavourneen, Come back, Aroon, to the land of my birth: Come with the shamrocks and Springtime, Mavourneen, And its Killarney shall ring with our mirth. Sure, when we lent ye to beautiful England, Little we thought of the lone winter days, Little we thought of the hush of the star shine Over the mountain, the bluffs and the brays! Then come back to Erin Mavourneen, Mavourneen, Come back again to the land of my birth. Come back to Erin, Mavourneen, Mavourneen, And its Killarney shall ring with our mirth. Over the green sea Mavourneen, Mavourneen, Long shone the white sail that bore thee away, Riding the white waves that fair Summer mornin lust like a Mayflow'r afloat on the bay. O, but my heart sank when clouds came between Like a grey curtain the rain falling clown, Hid from my sad eyes the path o'er the ocean Far, far away where my Colleen had flown. O may the angels, O wakin' and sleepin', Watch o'er my bird in the land far away, And it's my pray'rs will consign to their keepin', Care o' my jewel by night and by day. When by the fireside I watch the bright embers, Then all my heart flies to England and thee, Cravin' to know if my darlin' remembers Or if her thoughts may be crossin' to me. a 4 I Abler Adams Allal Allen Altorlnatt Althol Alvaro Angel Arnold , Ashcratt lassett lattle laumdnn leach l locker ledard lednarskl lehrend lenavldes len lees lornya lendy lonkowskl lorluck lradley lrady lrandes lranleckl lrusatorl lrzezlnskl luckley ' lullnskl lure: lurger lurke lurress - lurton luscl Caram Carnoy Carrler Carroll Casey Chamberlin Chandler Chernlslde Chesney Cole Conley Cook Corby ' Corey Cosgrove Covoyou Coyle Cronln Croteau Davey A Dovls Dean Do Champlain Decker De Clalre Delaney Del Gludlce De M1 Do Wltt Dlaz DI lella Dl Cesare Dlcker Illetz lllllon Dllworth Dlttux Drewltt Duane Dube llubes Duggan Dunne Dunalgan Durack Dwyer lngler lahrenkopl Farrell Iaxekas lerrnoyle letterman llnn lltxgerald lrassrand lreckelton Iredal Frlol lrlose Funke lunnl Furlong Gable Galney Gllrnore Glrardot Glogoss Glowackl Golernblewskl Gonter Grant Graton Grenkowskl Harmon Harper Harrlngton Harrlty Hausner Haver Hawthorne Hayes Hazen He Hllber Hlldebrandt Hoelel A Holland Horvath Houle Howard Huebner lean lelrey Johnson lollat lordan Joyce Kahoun Karas Kazrnlerczak Keals Klnsora Klttle Kleln Knox Konen A Kopas Koslnskl Koss Kowalskl Koxma Lachowicz laelnmerrnan I.agroa I.aldlaw lake I.akIn lalonde lamparskl Landry lavorty Lawler Lee lemleux Lenard E lerchon Llckner Llndow llpunla Lockwood McCool McCoy Mcllonnell Mcllhese Mclvoy Mcllllllvar Mc6ulln Mclaughlln Mclean Malyslek Manalgo Manos Marentette Marshall Marshke Marsollno , Mason Masserang Mlller Mllls Mlner Mlnor Mlshko Mlssel Mltchell Mlthen Mlxer Mlnl Mlynal Mueller Mulavey Mulllgan Mullln Mulvllle Murphy Murray Myers Hadeau I Horrls Hovak Howak Howlan 0'lrlen 0'ConneIl 0'Connor 0'Donnell 0'Donohue 0'Have1 Partlow Pasternak Patrlck Pavllscak Pawcxuk Peacock Pellegrlnl Pelxer Perenchle I Plro Plecas Plotzke Popls Posler Power Pratt Puwal ladomskl lallerty lu Renaud lengers llenkowskl llchards llordan lloux llxner Robb Roberts logoll luslell 1 M lyal lyan lychllnskl Samberg lanner Scarlett lduaetter lchaler ldlonlbrl lclly Senke lhea lhellerly llegman llelall lllaghl Slrnpson llnger lkrzyckl I Sprlng ltarllng Starrett Staub ltelntrager ltelrnaslek Stevens ltlnson ltocklng lxclechewlcx lzczepanlak lxczesnlak lzllnls Szwabowlkl farbrake 'l'attI Taylor Troy 'lrybus 'lwlggs 'Iyranskl llreel Vachon Valentln Valln Van Atta Walker Waller Walls Walsh Wanket Ward Watt ' Wavrlck Welsh Wlnler Wlnterhaltor Wood Woodley Wroblewskl Wysockl Yeager Yeung Irnakls Athos Ayolle lalacock Iago! lall lallsoll larden larnes larry larlen Borg lergln lerllnger lorry E lexny llrch llrg llelch lohlck loddy lreaull lrecelnlk lreed lreen lrock lroderlck lrolhers Drown lruckner X lruen luller ' lullanonl lulwlll Cahlll Callahan Canlleld Cannlnaro Carraher vrna Chomlcx Choryan Chrlslopher Cleslelskl Cleslak Clelo Clark Colbert Collly Crowe Cullen Cumming Curley Currle Cuslck Culdler Cylwlckl Cyrewskl Daley De liarllnl Delnlaek Dempsey Denlres Denning Denornrne Deredslnskl Desser Dollranskl Doherty Donovan Doollng Dole Deuce!
