It lives, first of all, on every altar of the world where Christ offers Himself for us as truly as He did on Calvary: and it lives in the lives of those who, assisting at Holy Mass, offer themselves, body and soul, in union with Christ, and thus seek to live that offering in their daily lives. Living the Mass means offering all our work, our play, our joys and sorrows, even the least, to God, in union with Iesus offering Himself for us. We wish to show you in our Annual, glimpses of the everyday happenings of our school life which we have tried to sublimate by this offering. Our theme, therefore, is .7Ae orJin,ary of our gum an! Me Ordinary of flue Wax CONTENTS 1 - - Administration Students -Classes Athletics Dedication 'Life is changed, not taken away' As we look forward to graduation with pride in our achievements of these last four years, we remember with sadness that one of us will not be walking up the aisle that night. Yet we know that he had his Commencement October 17, 1952 when he met his Creator, and we are sure he received a diploma for a life well lived and time well spent. For this reason, and in memory of him, the Class of '53 dedicates its Spires to Carl Ulliman, seventeen-year-old senior, killed in an automobile accident enroute to a school dance. We won't soon forget your quiet thouqhtfulness, Carl, and your happy spirit, always willing to give. The inspiration of your example is one of the loveliest memories of the Class of '53.

New Friends, New Horizons! FROM LEFT: Richard Steele, Karl Dell, lean Schmitt, Sister Marie William, and loyce Krumholtz. Catholic Central welcomed many newcomers this year. The most important of these was our new principal, Sister Marie William, who resigned her duties at Holy Trinity High School, Trinidad, Colorado, to assume her position at Catholic Central. Sister has won our respect and gratitude by her untiring and unselfish devotion in our interests and those oi our school. Centralites also greeted several new students this year. Among them were Richard Steele, sophomore, and Karl Dell, senior, who are shown here register- ing in the office. lean Schmitt is consulting the file for their transcripts, while Ioyce Krumholtz types the registration data.

For God and atholic Central As he nears the end of his eleventh year as superintendent of Catholic Central High School and St. Raphael Grade School, we see the Right Reverend Monsignor Martin M. Varley presenting report cards to sophomores Mary Elmer and Philip lohnson. Giving out report cards, however, is only one of Monsignor's many duties. He also gives counsel to each senior individually near the time of commencement, and supervises the finances of both the grade and high school, and at the same time must fulfill his obligations as pastor of St. Raphael Parish. He is personally interested in the Welfare of each student of Catholic Central. The Consecration of the Chalice .... This is My Blood. Consecration, the changing of bread and wine into Christ's holy Body and Blood, is the most sacred moment of the Mass. As we bow low in adoration before God comes down on our altars, we beg Him to con- secrate our every thought, word, and deed of the coming day, to change them from acts purely natural to acts that are meritorious because offered in union with His great Sacrifice. ln this way, even the smallest job, the briefest joy, or the greatest sorrow is consecrated too. Our classes, games, activities, take on an added zest, hallowed by contact with Christ at Mass. in ' '55 m4,, U A .,,, V A' IM, A J in ' 's I fgiia gs. in ml 0 CLASSES THIS IS MY BODY Which oblation do Thou, O God, vouchsafe in all things to bless, approve, ratity, make worthy and acceptable: that it may become for us the Body and Blood ot Thy most beloved Son our Lord Iesus Christ, Who the day before He suffered, took bread into His holy and venerable hands, and with His eyes lifted up to heaven, unto Thee, God, His almighty Father, giving thanks to Thee, He blessed, broke, and gave it to His disciples, saying: 'Take and eat ye all of this, FOR THIS IS MY BODY.' I Practice Makes Perfect A study ot the magniiicence ol God the Father is the theme oi the freshman religion course. During their entire high school career, students will be encour- aged to increase their prayers and devotions to the Blessed Virgin. All students learn to apply their religious instructions to everything about them-a love oi God and a Christian attitude is not limited to this one class, but permeates the study oi every subject taught at Catholic Central. Strong religious habits are instilled in the pupils by the school practice of attendance at daily Mass during October and May and on Fridays duning the other months, and the reception oi Holy Communion in a body on the iirst Friday oi every month.

FRANKLIN Opening their season at Franklin September 12, the Tornadoes fought hard and ran off to a 13-O lead by halftime. Bill Cherry caught two of Mil1er's passes for the scores. As the second half began, Franklin acquired new life, stunned Central, over- came the Irish lead, and went on to win 20-13. LIMA ST. ROSE Central made its first home stand against Lima St. Rose on Sunday, September 21. The game was scoreless until Central shoved across two quick scores in the second quarter. The Dragons bounced back to knot the score at 13 all at halftime. The Tornadoes returned to the field in the second half with a parade of touchdowns while holding their victims scoreless, giving the Irish a 41-13 victory. AKRON ST. MARY Nursing many injuries, Central traveled to Akron on September 28, and was not up to par enough to stop the constant driving of the powerful Akron Crusaders. Scoring in every period, Akron held Central to one touchdown, that in the fourth quarter by Bob Rankin who raced 70 yards to pay dirt. This set the final score at 46-6, Akron. BELLAIRE ST. IOHN The fourth game of the season was played on a dismal rain-soaked athletic field October 5. Although Central was greatly outweighed, it was a see-saw battle for the first quarter. In the second quarter, Bellaire capitalizing on a Central fumble, scored on a quick pass play. Again in the third period Bellaire slipped over from the five to hand Central its third loss in four games by a score of 12-U. OAK HILL The Tornadoes traveled to Oak Hill on October 11, looking for their second win of the '52 campaign. The Irish got off to a fast start when Cherry intercepted a pass and raced 82 yards for Central's only score. The Oaks scored in the second quarter, and again in the third, while holding Central scoreless, winning by a 13-6 count. 'T-0-R- -A-D-O-E-S' . . . . HAMILTON CATHOLIC Central played host to Hamilton Catholic on Sunday, November 9. This was homecoming for the Irish and spirits were high. From the sounding gun, how- ever, the Tornadoes were outplayed by the powerful Rams, Hamilton scoring in every quarter. During halftime the homecoming festivities took place with much pomp and splendor. The Tornadoes returned to the field to score twice but this was far from enough to overcome Hamilton's lead. The Rams went home with a 40-12 victory. This made Centra1's sixth loss in eight outings. TOLEDO CATHOLIC CENTRAL Toledo invaded Springfield on Sunday, October 19, to hand the Tornadoes a sound thumping 46-13. The Irish were outclassed from the start as Toledo scored in every period to build up a lead that Central cou1dn't overcome. Kramer and G-roeber scored for the Irish to prevent a shutout. CINCINNATI DE PORRES State-rated Cincinnati De Porres visited Springfield to play Central on Sunday, October 26. From the starting whistle a battle royal raged between the Hawks and the Irish. The lead changed hands six times throughout the game. While Central stopped the offensive power of the Hawks, led by Kilgore and Thomas, they themselves scored on runs by Miller and Nuss and pass plays to Cherry and Kramer to give the Fighting Irish a victory by a score of 27-25. COLUMBUS ST. MARY With the curtain descending on the 1952 football caper for another year, the Fighting Irish were entertained by Columbus St. Mary at Columbus. The Tornado grid men shoved the capital city crew into their own territory time after time, while they themselves chalked up enough points to discourage the St. Mary eleven. Leading the attack, last game participants rallied in true fighting Irish fash- ion to outrun, pass, and kick the opposition to a 39-5 finale. 4 a the Court Ladies 6 9 nd Happ We Being royalty, even for the space of a homecoming football game and the open house that follows it, is exciting business, as these girls will tell you.

These three members of the Central quintet, tin white uniformsl are, from left, Snook lohnson, Ioe Paxson, and lohn Gonce. The Bellefontaine Chieftain at- tempting to score in this shot is in for a bit of trouble in the form of Snook Iohnson, Tornado forward. Although Snoolc came down with the rebound, Center loe Paxson was waiting to back him up and help get the ball started toward Central's goal at the other end of the floor. Together with the rest of the Tor- nado's lron Men, Ken Miller, lohn Gonce and Bill Cherry, Snook and loe started tournament play by win- ning out in an exciting contest with the Bellefontaine Chieftains. Men of Iron Central's team created quite a iuror this year. The iron men earned their name because, after our first four losses, they were sent in to play entire games without being relieved. They seemed to be a winning combination for they won the Central Catholic League Championship. The team progressed to the semi- finals in the district tournament, finally being defeated by Tecumseh. lohn Gonce has played guard for two years and his lean, compact build en- ables him to handle the ball with ease and speed. l-le shows increasing promise of being one of the main sparkplugs on next year's team. lohn Cherry really came into his own during the tournaments. Called on to replace lohn Falkenbach, Bill Cherry capably handled his post with reserved ability, and became one of Central's leading scorers. loe Paxson is the six-foot-four center who delights the team both by his basketball ability and good-natured humor. This is his fourth year of playing for Central and his second year on the varsity. A conscientious performer, Ioe was one of the top scorers for the entire season. William Shook Iohnson emerged this year as one of our outstanding players. Only a sophomore, Snook was named to the tournament all-star team, thus becoming the first sophomore to receive this honor. Kenny Miller has received numerous honors and awards throughout his high school career for his athletic ability. This season he was named to the tournament all-star team, to the Central Catholic League team and given hon- orable mention on the All-State Basketball Team. lohn Falkenbach, junior forward, began the season as one of the iron men and his eagle eye and ability to drive made him an essential part of the Tornado lineup. Unfortunately, near the season's end, lohn was injured and unable to take part in the tourney play. 6Wh0 D0 We Appreciatew 'Phe Teamn' Poised for action are, from left: Iohn Gonce, Dave Groeber, Bob Rizer, and Kenny Miller.
