Published by THE SENIOR CLASS Catholic Central High School Springfield, Ohio Volume Vlll l948 OP8 WUI' As we begin the work of our yearbook, we take a backward glance in the hope that the things which helped us through grade school and high school might be a source of strength for the tasks which lie ahead. We would be un- thinking Catholics if we failed to realize the part which the Blessed Trinity has played in our daily lives. We recognized a true and gentle Father in the Almighty. Into His outstretched arms, we fled from the cares of the world. How many timeswe besought His mercy! We looked with adoring eyes on Christ and we remembered His words: Suffer the little children to come unto Me. What a haven from chaos! We found calm in the Wound of His Sacred Heart. Come, O Holy Ghost were the Words uttered by us in our supplications to the Divine Spirit. In Him, we placed our hope for enlightenment. We were con- fident in the light of His guidance. Thanking God for the blessings and strengths received, We place these memories in a book which we will always treasure, which We will refer to from time to time. Our yearbook then, should be a constant reminder of our secret of success, since our yearbook theme is: Our Gilpin me Z?L55ea, jinifg Are anal Areaher QlfLf8l'Lf5 f Another Volume of events at Catholic Central is almost completed. It has been the pleasant task of the senior class to collect cmd to select the happenings of the year. Knowing their responsibility, they have watched each day's hap- penings and with Shakespeare they conclude: I hold the world as a world . . . A stage where every man must play a part. And so we divide our yearbook as he divided his immortal plays. Prologue. We present to you our Archbishop, Our Clergy, Our Faculty, guiding factors in the play, School Life. Act I. Dramatis Personae. We introduce to you the characters in the order of their appearance into high school. Act II. The Classes. We show the obstacles, the ioys and the achievements which make up the Argument of our play. ' Intermission. Missa Cantata! We introduce the Band and the choral groups of Central. Act III. Activities. The seniors try out for future roles of leading others. Act IV. Sports. We tell the encounters of the Tornado teams and present Parts from the Physical Education program. Act V. We name our Advertisers, Patrons and Friends, spectators and patrons of our play. Epilogue. We try to catch an echo from the Heavenly Choirs which we hope to hear when the Mortal Drop is lifted and we make our Eternal Entrance. ibeckcafion jr Qui Ma .gamer Who created the World the Land, the Sea the Vast Firmament and All Mankind ja Gag fha .gm Who came into the World To redeem Mankind To teach Mankind how to live To Suffer and to Die 51, gi fr., 44,4 gn, Who Sanctifies Mankind Enliqhtens Mankind Strengthens Mankind in Grace The Senior Class of 1948 humbly dedicate their yearbook with the earnest hope and prayer that Men and Nations may heed the voice of Inspiration that we may have a true and lasting Peace. we pfan O! lflie jfinilg The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity became man to show His love for us by redeeming us, by founding His Church, and by re- maining with us in the Blessed Sacrament.

As we begin this section of our Senior Drama we find, as true to every drama, that parts need to be explained. We chose for our theme, Our Life in the Blessed Trinity, Here and Here- after . Throughout the pages, we have placed symbols which should remind us of the Blessed Trinity. These need no explaining. In dividing our book into Acts, we have selected symbols which should typify the purpose of that Act. These are the symbols which need explaining. The symbols of the Three Divine Persons in the Blessed Trinity are enclosed in an equilateral triangle symbolizing the equality of the Three Divine Persons in one God. The hand coming from the cloud is a symbol of God the Father Holy Scripture often mentions the right hand of the Lord. The dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove when Christ was baptized. These are the symbols used for God the Father and God the Holy Ghost on every division page. God the Son is variously represented. In the introduction to our spiritual directors, God the Son is represented as the Infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, symbolizing the Incarnation In the picture of the Mass, the figure of the crucified Christ represents our Saviour laden with our sins pleading for pardon from the Father The symbolic figures at the foot of the Cross represent humanity crying for mercy The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity both God and Man is shown as Mediator between us and the Father. In the picture of the chalice and the Host, the Host represents the consecrated Bread. Here Christ is represented with God the Father,symbol1zed by the hand and with God the Holy Ghost, symbolized by the dove. This reminds us that the Three Persons of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity are present in the Consecrated Species. The chalice is here represented as containing the conse- crated Wine. The figure of Christ crucified, extending from the Host deep into the chalice, symbolizes the presence of the Body and Blood of Christ under the forms of bread and wine after the Consecration. As the Blessed Virgin was the Mother of the Word made flesh so is she our Mother. As Mary, in obedience to the Mosaic Law presented her Son in the Temple so we ask her to present our lives and our works to her Son and our God In the last picture, the symbol of Christ is the Chi Rho formed by the first two letters of the Greek word meaning Christ. The Greek Chi X 1S Ch in English, and the Greek, Rho, P is R in English. The angel represents one of the whole hosts of the heavenly army with whom We Join our voices to sing the Scmctus at the close of the Preface of the Mass and with whom we hope to Join our voices in the Eternal Tomorrow. mf f0r,,..,,.... ...J fm... ....

Sister Marie Amadea explains to Senior Class President Gene Burk the beauties of the Chinese carvings and paintings, treasures indeed, from Cathay. When young Marco Polo traveled to China, during the Middle Ages, he soon learned the language and became a favorite of the Great Khan. Today, the Sisters of Charity have journeyed to 'old Cathay'. They have learned the language and have been commended by General Chiang Kai-Shek. It was while he was in prison, during a war against Genoa, that Marco Polo wrote his book describing the Asiatic people and their customs to a dis- believing Europe. While in prison, in China, during the Iapanese War, the Sisters prayed and Wrote a few letters to their loved ones at home. Afterwards, some returned, as Sister Marie Amadea, to tell what young Americans found hard to believe or even imagine: the ravages of War, the horrors of the concentration camps, the serious condition of Post-War China.

Now with the spring winds hinting that qraduation is near, we wonder where the time has gone. We at Central know where the time has gone, for since the motto of the Senior Class is To Iesus Through Mary. we know that our deeds have been written in heaven . Monsignor Varley takes an active interest in all the school functions. He discusses student plans and gives advice and assistance. lt is to Monsignor we go for permission for those dances after the game, the bonfire rally, and those informal parties at the Club House. Monsignor gives his hearty support and approval whenever it is possible. Class officers have a great responsibility. They are the guiding hand in all the activities that are so much a part of Catholic C. Everything is done under the influence of the class motto. Before the big game, you can see the players, cheer leaders, and many of the students going to Mass and receiving Holy Communion. During the halves, Whether defeat or victory is in the offing, the students, to themselves, say a fervent prayer of petition or thanksgiving. Our Blessed Lady's title of Mother is so meaningful at Catholic Central. It is to their Blessed Mother that the pupils come with their troubles, unburdening their hearts at her feet, or bringing to her their pleasures that she, too, may share in their happiness. Activities of the senior class are those which are remem- bered longest. Therefore, we at Central tried to make worth- while memories. The seniors were feeling their wings and there was a thrill in doing things for the first time. There is always a thrill in doing things well. On Navy Day, Catholic Cen- tral was presented with a flag by the Springfield Navy Club during a program given by the senior boys. City Manager Fleckner and Ierome Williams, senior, are the speakers repre- sented. Recruiting Officer Phelps, also spoke. On November 12, nine senior boys held a symposium on Peace for the parents who at- tended Open House. During this function of Education Week, each student introduced his parents to the members of the Faculty. Initiation of the Freshmen is another fond memory. The sen- iors entertained the Class of '51 in the Auditorium and both classes found new friends among the hosts and the guests. Sister Mary Mildred and sen- iors Rita Corcoran and Patricia Halloran attended the Catholic Scholastic Press Association Convention in Milwaukee. Here they heard such prominent speakers as Father Gerald Vann, O.P., Mrs. Anna M. Brady and Mr. Frank I. Sheed. Everytime a senior of '48 looks at his class ring, he will remember the day Monsignor Varley blessed the rings and gave them to the seniors in the study hall. f Christmas is to many the best season ot the year. One of the best of the many good times which the seniors enjoyed was at the Christmas party which they gave for the Faculty and the underclassmen. Clare Mc- Guire, Paul Huebnerf Rita Cor- coran and Gene Burk were the principal speakers. amend of Me 98806 These are the six colleens elected by the senior class to cheer the lrish on to victory. Win or lose, football or basketball, these lassies were always boosting the team with a cheer and a prayer. Their captain, Ioan Burk, led the girls during their many hours of practice. Tow headed, blue eyed Ioy Hammond was the tiny mascot of the six colleens. As a result of the careful coaching of her cheerleader aunt, Alice Mae Grout, she got every cheer and went right along with her six colleagues. As in previous years, the cheerleaders headed the boosters' club. This year, they divided the student body into two groups: The Big Greens for the seniors and Iuniors, the Little Greens for the sophomores and freshmen. The mixed voices and the friendly rivalry between the two groups aided much in the cheering. The Queens of the Greens led the fans and followers of the Tomadoes through a successful cheering season. The Tomadoes could not lose with such a backing. ,quqfh 15 1 mx' LEFT TO RIGHT: Alice Mae Grout, Iacqueline Grim, Marilyn RileY. loan Burk, Mary Margaret Hecht, Marianne Griffin, and mascot Ioyce Hammond.

The wind was brisk, the mornings sharp, and while the possibility of a free day, in honor of St. Raphael, hung like frost nips on the stinging October air, only the ever-exciting prospect of the annual home coming nominees and their pre-election flurry succeeded in whipping Centralads and Centraleens into a foam of activity. omineea .Ae .sizicfeal u FIRST ROW: SECOND ROW: Betty Gibson Florence McPommel1 Dorothy Schmitt Rita Corcoran - Patricia Grim Davidine Moultney Act II Rising Action lwlfefi F8 5 8Cf86!

Bolstered by ten lettermen, Coach Kavanaugh saw his 1947 Tornado football machine open their season with an impressive 33-6 victory over Columbus-Holy Family. The Irish lost no time in breaking the scoring ice. With the game only two minutes old, Bob Scanlon shot a perfect aerial to Tom Carroll good for 45 yards and a touchdown. Scanlon added the first of three extra points. Before the afternoon was over, Buddy Murray. Gene Burk. Russ Ferry- man and Tom Carroll put across four more T.D.'s to com- pletely overturn the game and to outclass the Capital City team. The following Friday, Central traveled to Troy in quest of destroying an eleven-game win streak of the Troians. However. the mighty men of Troy had too much for the Tomadoes and the Irish were- fleeced 20-0. Central had a 10-7 edge in first downs made, but none of their thrusts paid off, despite the fact that time after time the Irish drove deep into Troy territory, and the game ended with the ball on the Troy fourteen yard line. F5 X, ,f ??- Xt In the third game of the season, played before 2,200 fans, the Tornadoes played inspired and aggressive ball to drop a favored Columbus-St. Mary from the ranks of the undefeated with a 19-0 reversal. The Irish put together a devastating aerial attack and a consistent ground game to push across one touchdown in the second quarter and they came hack to score two more quick ones in the third period on passes. The first tally was scored by halfback Dodo Valentie who climaxed a drive from midfield by plowing over from the five-yard line. The final two touchdowns came early in the third quarter when Gene Burk caught passes from Bob Scanlon and from Russ Ferryman. Scanlon added the extra point. On Sunday, October 5, the Tornadoes met and defeated an invading Portsmouth-Catholic team 26-O. Central domi- nated the play throughout the contest and they were seldom threatened by the Titans. Central took the opening kickoff and drove down the field, with Scanlon's 8-yard pass to Ferryrnan climaxing the 65- yard march. A few moments later, the Tornadoes recovered a fumble on the Portsmouth 30-yard line. This time they needed only seven plays to send Russ Ferryman across the pay stripe from the one-yard line. Scanlon converted. In the second quarter, after an exchange of punts, Coach Kava'naugh's boys drove thirty-three yards ln six plays with Bob Scanlon plunging over. Scanlon again made the extra point to run the score to 20. el'e Out Z YMM TOP ROW, left to right: R. Ferryman, I. Thompson, C. Clark, D. Mabra. l BOTTOM ROW: G. Burk, C. Engelmeier, F. Brown, I.

Two plays later, len'y Thompson scored for the Tomadoes. The game ended in a Tornado victory 26-O. In the fifth game of the season, the Tomadoes played Columbus-Holy Rosary under the lights of Evans Stadium and completely snowed under the visitors 24-0. It also marked the third straight game that the opponents had been held scoreless. The first score of the game came midway in the first quarter when Valentie went over from the nine-yard line, following an eighty-yard march. In the second period, the Irish again scored on a thirty-one yard pass from Russ Perryman to Gene Burk. Central went scoreless in the third quarter, but came back strong to score twice in the fourth canto on touch- downs by Dodo Valentie and Buddy Murray on runs of seven and forty-seven yards respectively. The following Friday, the Tomadoes took their second road trip of the season, this time going to Vandalia-Butler where they notched their fifth win of the season and their fourth win in a row, by a 25-U count. The Irish returned home to play,Colurnbus-St. Charles in a night game at Evans Stadium. Here the Tomadoes avenged a last year defeat of 14-7. The Irish unleashed their most vicious scoring attack of the season and com- pletely swamped the visitors, 40-0. In the eighth game of the season, the Tomadoes went down to their first defeat in six games and their second of the season as the Newport-Catholic of Kentucky team won cr thrilling 7-6 -encounter at Newport. It rained before and during the game. The field was turned into a sea of mud. After the first play none of the players were recognizable. Of in .lrnacfo wird Next, the injury-riddled Tornadoes journeyed to Hamilton to play the undefeated 'Hamilton-Catholic Rams. The Irish played hard, but they came out on the short end of a 33-0 score. Central held the Rams scoreless in the first quarter, but the terrific weight advantage that Hamilton had, began to tell in the second Canto. ' The final game against Aquinas saw the Irish drop their fourth game of the season, 6-0. This was a tough one to lose, not only because it was the Home Coming Game, but also because it was the last game played by twelve senior boys. Aquinas opened the game with a bang by scoring a touchdown on the opening kickoff. Halfback Sweeney took the ball deep into his own territory and after being momen- tarily trapped, cut to the middle and was away. Central held the Aquinas team on the one-yard line for four downs. Engelmeir, standing in his own end-zone punted the ball, 65-yards. This ended the scoring- threat for the afternoon. The rest of the game was played ln midfield. The Tomadoes ended their ten-game season with six wins and four losses. N 025 QQ gk? fA0 End jflfy . Ten senior boys played in the last football game of the season. Robert Scanlon and Louis Valentie, also seniors, were not able to play in the final game because of injuries received in previous games. LEFT TO RIGHT: R. Roberts, D. Lee, B. Mehoff, F, Brown, I.

AQU .we joofdaff aggzfwwf I j91,uzfi1z9, cwdirzgf, I ag Ay lay' On August 20, fifty-five eager Centralites reported crt Catholic Athletic Field for the opening drill of the 1947 football season. After receiving their equipment, the boys faced fourteen days of strenuous calisthenics and then they began the essentials of blocking and tackling. They had their daily skull sessions in the evenings at the Field House. The week before the season opened, punting and passing became the high light, with several boys showing exceptional skill. Dummy scrirnmages were held so the boys could practice their plays. On September 9, the annual intra-squad game was held with the G-olds downing the Whites 13-0. FIRST ROW, left to right: L.

Coach Kavanaugh started drills, with approximately sixty boys, on No- vember 20. After a week of these fundamentals he had cut the squad to ct twenty-man crew. Then came one full week of offensive plays, and zone and- man-to-man de- fensive set-ups, out-of-bounds plays and rebounding.
