I 6 THOMAS PENN UST as our forefathers founded the City of Reading two hundred years ago upon the ideals of Christian Democracy and Religious Freedom, so Monsignor Bome- mann Central Catholic High School fulfills their dreams by educating future citizens in this light. To make youth appreciative of and responsive to its Christian heritage, the proper worship and service of God is emphasized in every phase of school life. Dating back to the travels of Reverend Theodore Schneider, S. J., and the little Catholic Mission estab- lished in 1756, the spiritual stimulus is evident in its educational, physical, and extracurricular activities. What he has sown, Central Catholic now reaps. By stressing Christian virtue and morality in the myriad events of everyday living, it prepares its citizenry to fill their varied places in the world that they will assist in building. Genuine democracy, as understood by the Founding Fathers and the first settlers, lies deep in man's rational nature and in the social principles of Christianity. To make certain that those passing through its portals carry away this real democratic concept and link its principles to personal liberty, social responsibility, and the com- mon good, Central Catholic High School plans its cur- ricula carefully and wisely. 1.94 Centralma Published by THE SENIOR CLASS CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHCCL READING PENNSYLVANIA X L .H . x .ali f?

Readin is Pride WITH the illustrious names of Thomas Penn and Conrad Weiser, to whom we are indebted for the founding of Reading and without whom our city would never have been recognized as a leader in the educational, political, economic, and social fields, we must associate the names of Reverend W'illiam A. Hammeke, Reverend john N. Wachter, and Reverend Charles L. Allwein, who have given one of the finest contributions to our fair city in the founding of Central Catholic High School. Foreseeing the need for a central Catholic high school in Reading, Father Hammeke, now retired, founded the school in September, 19393 Father Wachter, administrator, is fur- thering the work so admirably begun, and Father Allwein, principal, is at the cost of personal sacrifice guiding its des- tinies from the day of its inception. They have made the school the line institution it is today. The citizens of Reading as well as the students passing through the portals of Central Catholic High School give grate- ful thought to the men who founded the city and this institu- tion of learning.

Continuing in the work so ably begun by Father Hammeke, he performs his duties as administrator of St. Paul Parish. His presence at all activities of the school is proof that he is greatly interested in each student. . . .furthered THE REVEREND JOHN N. WACHTER Administrator . .and completed THE REVEREND CHARLES L. ALLWEIN Principal ATHER ALLWEIN, our leader, is ever kind, vigilant, and lovable. A friend of youth, our interests are his interests, as he shares our joys and sor- rows. As a leader in education, he has devoted the past nine years towards providing education that is complete, sound, and Catholic.

CLARENCE LEVAN Custodian Q SINCE religion and morality are the indis- pensable supports of the democracy we cherish, the major labor of the faculty is to inscribe the principles of each on the hearts of all who wish a more thorough understanding of our great freedom. Social studies furnish valuable knowledge of our government, past and present, not only to future lawyers and politicians, but also to the real rulers of a country-the professional and working classes. To make the world a better place to live in is a perfect motto, especially for the science classes, whose members are taught to use what they have learned to accomplish just that. Even athletics, whether this subject is pur- sued lightly as recreation or seriously as a career, must respect the rights of the individual. The God-given right of free speech, the insurance of which was one of the main pur- poses of Penn's founding of this colony, is em- phasized in the English courses offered by Central Catholic High School. Rightly believing that this precious heritage should not be abused, the seekers of knowledge here learn to express thought properly and clearly. CLASS S If the future is to belong to democracy, an essential part of that achievement will have to be given to the religion of Christ and to the Church. That this goal be attained, the entire teaching staff, more in particular the instructors of religion, devote their time, their energy, and their lives to making students God-conscious. Like the designers of the bicentennial anni- versary seal, they are fully cognizant of the role of religion in this community's history, past and present. In its symbolism the seal is expressive of the piety of the founding fathers-that piety which the great founder Penn expressed in his memorable dictum, To be like Christ, then, is to be a Christian. For them the tulip in the seal is more than a mere emblem of the hope that God's kingdom be established upon earth, that which it sym- bolizes has become the great motivating force of their lives. God, as the seal indicates, has been infinitely generous to this community. They would repay His love with loyal service. They would mould Christians with only one end in view, namely, that through them and posterity His glory be augmented. 1 -X . f Q ' 'FR-ig ipxi Mg V, .KAL wh, .

Class rings and hats, while the anxious seek not only their picture in Cenlralnm, but also a partner for the Prom. Their last year brings a wide and varied curriculum, Apologetics, English grammar and literature, problems of democracy are the required subjects. Many seniors persevere in at least one language-Latin, French, German, or Spanish. They may also choose either trigonometry, solid geometry, physics, advanced biology, mechanical drawing, stenography, typewriting, secretarial ofhce practice, or homemaking. The artistically or musically inclined may select either art or music as their last major subject. At the completion of their senior year, whether they choose business, college, or a profession, their service will be a better one because of their Catholic education in a high school which for the past nine years has been turning out graduates ready to take their place in civic life. Future citizens of America, M. Falter, J. Franey, F. Stofko, R. Loeper, P. Daly, G. Brizek, A. Wentzel, L. Kline, D. Spaeth, j. Breedy, and R. Kubeck gather first-hand information con- cerning the problems they will have to face when they leave Central. Interest in P. A. D. classes is stimulated by these reviews of the American Observer. These senior lztssies add an extra touch of charm to a campus already overflowing with beauty. T. Essig, G. Nagle, C. Elbert, V. Tetlak, M. Kane, M. Essig, D. Metivier, and M. Pettit complete this spring circle. C. Leach and G. Meshinsky are probably dreaming of the evening when they will waltz over the floor in these gowns of their own creation. Here, P. Daly and A. Kern are putting the ' 'hile H. Hildebrand, T. Essig, and j. Schwank continue progress finishing touches on them, W on parts of their ensembles.

YE Eiga K 1.3 ' H M Pioneers alon the Wa O longer the babies of the school, the sophomores, though somewhat sophisticated, are now very much at home and have the true Central Catholic spirit about them. In- itiation, as understood by the freshmen, is not necessary. lt is now that they are initiated into science courses. Religion, English, biology, and United States history are required subjects. Added to their privileges is the right to choose two subjects from art, music, French, Latin, Spanish, algebra II, general math, homemaking I, and junior business training. Sophomores may participate in extraecurricular activities in which their athletic, musical, and other talents are revealed. The Sophomore Hop is the highlight of the year. J. Maurer and M. Nawrocki, students of Latin ll, concentrate on the trans- lation of the day while E. Elbert and E. Buser point out places of enjoyment in Roman life. At the same time J. Morris, W. Bennis, P. C. 0'Brien, and J. Bettler study pictures of Roman architecture. In Miss llluzzi's gym classes the girls engage in a wide variety of activities.

Wlmether it be the study of religion, English, algebra, world history, a modern or a foreign language, art, music, or the par- ticipation in physical exercises-the newness of it all brings with it the vitality, enthusi- asm, and determination to make their school rank the hnest in the land. In sport activities and social life the freshies are not found lacking in ability to participate in basketball, football, track, and baseball, and also to attend the clubs and school dances. In music, the freshmen form the nucleus of the school band. It is during this tirst year at school that most freshmen lay the foundation of a happy high school career. Leaving their troubles behind them, this smiling group of freshmen pause to hear j. Walter relate an amusing incident that happened in the gym class. By the expression of D. Sweeney, S. Faust, L. Keeney, M. Morganti, IVI. Conway, H. Fries, J. Reusing, D. Frock, M. Bonk, M. Sarvas, J. Nelson, J. XVinterhalter, and J. Tarves they must be enjoying it. L vu.

I n years. john Ermentrout and Madeleine Beresford have received Frrst Honors for four years re they have merited 90 per cent in re ligion and in four mayor sub jects. The others, I Bukovsskx M.

Ryan, have had First Honors and Second Honors for which is required not less than 65 per cent in religion and four major subjects, over a period of four Evaluators Agree Un up eriorit Father Allwein and Father Leichner scrutinize with satis- faction the results of the evalu- ation conducted by the Middle States Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. he ENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL received superior rating and is now on t accredited list of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools as a result of a three-day evaluation conducted by the association. Because of the illness of the chairman of the visiting committee, Reverend joseph A. Gorham of the Catholic University of America, the report on the evaluation conducted in November, 1946, was not received until November, 1947. Evaluation of the school was made on the basis of the educational program, staff, plant, and administration. Very superior was the rating accorded the staff after scrutinization of personal gualitications, adequacy of preparation, and experience. Instruction, including such etails as classroom activities, text books, and methods of appraisal, rated very superior. Also at the top of the list were the outcomes in English, ancient and modern languages, mathematics, sciences, social studies, music, art, homemaking, business, and physical education. Health and safety conditions as well as the economy and efliciency of the plant, administration of the school, curriculum, phases of guidance, and library facilities earned superior rating. ACTIVITIE IN the development and expansion of Central Catholic High School, as well as that of Reading, the pleasures that accompany the growth of any institution or locality are evident. Included among these experiences are the newspaper, the yearbook, clubs, proms, and the band. The press, the main means of communication in the first years of the settlement, has its counterpart in Hillride Echoes and Centmlma, the former a record of monthly news, the latter a summary or memory book of the highlights of the year. The material for both these publications is amply provided for by the projects of the art, language, science, Catholic action and other clubsg but whatever these activities may be, they all aid in producing a four-square edu- cation that makes for the development of ideal manhood and womanhood. The junior and Senior Proms with their elaborate preparations furnish excitement before, during, and after the appointed date. Then the young Penn- sylvania Dutch artists vie to outdo their forbears in artistic talent. All through the year the band is appreciated for its vibrating marches or smooth waltzes which furnish a musical atmosphere for assemblies and other activities. There's music in the air, indeed, when Central's musicians, their blood a-tingle with the old-world heritage of harmony and sweet sound, get together. In short, the social and extra-curricular activities of the school provide the students with many opportunities for social and cultural pleasure and en- joyment. -vw' fq '-s ff' X Yes, it is Hillside Efboesf that is, before it goes to print.

E. Ryan and M. Loomis put the final touches to their features for the present issue of the school paper, while C. Steffen finishes a straight news story, and M. Haage with M. Beresford put into effect what they have been taught about editorials in the news writing class. Attainin All-American Honors nose for news is the prime requisite for staff members on Hillfide Erboer, although at least 85 per cent in English and willingness to devote free time to this extra-curricular subject are other essentials. Headlines, which require from two minutes to two hoursg page plansg columnsg sportsg news and cartoons, which must be finished to perfection, are what create so many heartaches for these journalists. After the publication date has been set, the familiar bustle found in the little room on the first floor begins and only ends when all heads are interestedly bent over the monthly. Searching for new ideas for Hillside Echoes, art editors N. Sweeney and j. Geiger look over other papers with A. Klein and J. Nelson, business man- agers.

N February 8, the cast of Central Catholic Hih School Seniors not only sustained but actually added to the laurels won by the laugh-provoking story of the home front during the stirring days of World War II, Dear Ruth. The audience, who filled the Plaza Theatre to capacity, howled with laughter at the dilemma created by a 'teen- age tyke who eased the burdens of a war-torn soldier by writing him letters in the name of her older and frankly attractive sister. The complications arise when Lieutenant Bill returns to give the matter his personal attention. CAST Dora ............... ....... .,....... E l izabeth Ertel Mrs. Edith Wilkins .. ,...

PORT H PORT, properly directed, remarked our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, in an audience to an All-Sports Group, develops character, makes a man cour- ageous, a generous loser, and a gracious victorg it refines the senses, gives us intellectual penetration, steels the will to endurance. With these ends in view, the authorities of the school have endeavored to make it possible for the athletic-minded students to find the epitome of all sports-desires at Central Catholic. A full program of indoor and outdoor activi- ties is offered to boys and girls. Latest in addition to the athletic side of school- life, the extensive stadium affords an excellent gridiron for the brisk autumn and winter days. The beautiful school gymnasium is the scene of friendly strife for the sharpshooters. The thinclads, too, resort to the stadium for friendly competition. And last, but not least, the American game, baseball, is also part of the sports program. These sports provide not only pleasure and relaxation, but also healthful exercise that makes for physical development-a step toward happiness. They, moreover, instill into the minds of the students the importance of discipline- not merely external discipline, but the discipline of rigorous self-control, which, as recommended by our present Holy Father, is as momentous in the realm of sports as it is in that of the intellectual or moral order. They Are Responsible for MSports, Properbf Directed 'D First Row: Asst. Coach J. Schaaf, Trainer J. Donaldson. Second Row: Asst. Coach S. Hydock, Head Coach L. Tierney, Asst. Coach J. Buckley. courageous, aggressive, and never-say-die Cardinal eleven coached by L. Tierney and his assistants, S. Hydock, J. Buckley, and Donaldson, completed another successful season, compiling a record of live wins, three losses, and a tie. Tierney's '47 gridders were outweighed in every game. The Irish of Camden along with Delone and the Cru- saders of Harrisburg Catholic had too much on the ball for the Cards. The tie game saw Mt. Carmel and Central clash in a 0-0 duel. This was the last season that Coach Tierney master- minded the Cardinals. A successor will be named by next fall to fill the vacancy created by the coach's resignation. Cardinals - 30 .......... Shenandoah Catholic - 14 Scoring in every period, Central opened its 1947 football season by crushing Shenandoah Catholic 30-14. Babe Tulley and Frank Heim shared the scoring honors by each crossing the payoff stripe twice. Great promise was shown by the brilliant aerial attack put on by the Cards. Cardinals- 0 .................. Mt. Carmel- 0 Outweighed but never outplayed, the Red Birds grappled with a strong Mt. Carmel team to a O-0 stalemate. Leading in the statistical battle, the Cards were unable to get passed the Carmelites' six-yard line in their offensive drive. Cardinals - 6 ..,........... Camden Catholic - 25 The powerful jersey Irish proved to be more than a match for the Tierneymen, handing them their first defeat of the season to the tune of 25-6. Held at bay by the Cam- denites, the Cards were able to put on a prolonged-offem sive drive into enemy territory only twice during the game. Cardinals- 15 Phila. Mastbaum Vocational- 0 Conquering Mastbaum 13-0, Central registered its sec- ond victory of the season. Gus Morganti, a kicking spe- cialist, showed his prowess when he booted the first point after the touchdown scored by a placement in twelve games. Central found little difhculty in downing this mighty Phil- adelphia foe. Cardinals- 13 ....... St. Patrick, Norristown - 0 Taking their cue from Lady Luck, the Red Birds turned two block kicks into touchdowns, defeating the Patsies 13-0. Unwilling to concede defeat, the scrappy Irish pro- ceeded to invade Central's territory only to be repulsed by the Cardinals' forward wall. Courageous Monarchs of the Gridiron Cardinals- 6 ............... Panther Valley- 0 A much underestimated Panther Valley team nearly proved to be the downfall of the Tierneymen who eked out a 6-0 victory. The passing combination of Rocktashel to Heim clicked again to set the stage for Heim's 62-yard run for the game's lone touchdown. Cardinals - 7 ........... Harrisburg Catholic - 3-i Breaking their winning streak of three games, a formid- able Harrisburg foe handed the Cards a bitter defeat 34-7. Central proved to be no match for the powerful Crusaders who scored at will. Victim of many bad breaks which were turned into touchdowns by the Harrisburg men, Central fought valiantly and gained 8 first downs to Harris- burg's 9. Cardinals - 39 .............

NOTHER step in the progress of sports at Central was taken this year when freshman football was introduced. joseph Buckley, one of the assistant varsity coaches, was named to coach the squad. When the initial call for candidates was issued, thirty- five eager and very green freshies reported to Coach Buck- ley who began the slow process of teaching fundamentals. The squad became known as the Fighting Irish and Coach Buckley as Leahy. After a month of practice and play learning, the squad scrimmaged such teams as Southern junior High, Wilson jayvees, Wyomissing's sec- ond team, and Hill School of Pottstown. George Rocktashel, Co-captain and fullback. To secure experience and plays needed for varsity com- petition is the main purpose faced by Buckley's cohorts, who will be a decided improvement to the football elevens of coming seasons. This freshman competition will continue to be a regular sport at Central and will aid both the players and the team. The team will be strengthened because of the instructions given the players in their first season as this will leave more time for play-making once they reach the varsity. Players also will benefit by the extra practice which will give them a better chance to secure a varsity position. I ,jg is-.n -A e-- 1-all ----V 1- ii. . LETS' K Sharpshooting Hoopsters LAYING the toughest schedule ever tackled by Central, the Red and White dribblers gave a commendable show- ing with a record of sixteen wins and ten losses. Allen- town again stopped the Birds who also lost out in the qualifying round of the Williamsport Tournament. Coach Schaaf tried every possible combination of players and plays in an effort to'find a winning team. Cardinals -- 26 ............., Madonna House - 16 Successfully opening the 1947-48 hardwood season, Central rolled to an easy 26-16 triumph over the Madonna House passers.

Cardinals - 53 ....... Weatherly High School - Z5 The Cardinals registered their second victory at the ex- pense of Weatherly High, one of the most formidable teams ever to be conquered by Central. After having had a little trouble finding the range in the first quarter, Babe Tulley and Bill Snider opened up a scoring attack that paced the team to a 33-25 victory. A great defense by the Schaafmen was again the deciding factor. Cardinals - 47 ............. Lansford Catholic - 27 Lansford Catholic gave our boys a real scare in the first half of this contest which saw the Hill Road hoopsters leading only 16-14 at intermission. The second half gave the spectators their first look at Central's offensive tricks of the year when Babe Tulley, Charlie Neiman, and Bill Snider hammered the hoops to give the Red and White a 47-27 victory. Cardinals - 26 ....... Coatesville High School - 24 Playing a brand of ball that makes games thrillers, Central downed a high-flying Coatesville team by the score of 26-24. Bud Faller proved that he was ready for varsity competition when he racked up four successive points in the waning seconds of play to give Central its fourth win. Scoring was close throughout the game and ties were posted three times in the final four minutes. Cardinals - 31 .....

Benjamin Franklin, Phila. - 20 Turning in the best offensive show of the season, the Red Birds made the Poor Richards of Philadelphia look entirely destitute as they humbled them 58-20. Leading 42-8 at halftime, the team as well as the fans were surprised at the feeble efforts of the visitors. Babe Tulley sparked the attack, scoring 19 points, while jimmy Rocktashel amassed 10 counters. Cardinals - 30 ............ St. james, Chester - 31 The Bull Dog's bite was a little too much for the Cards, despite a last ditch rally that brought them within two points of a victory. Again Central's downfall came at the foul line, which was responsible for the disappointing digits-St. james 51-Central 30. Tulley and Faller spearheaded the offensive attack, dividing 21 points between them. Cardinals - 37 ........

West Catholic, Phila. - 37 Although holding an early 11-1 first-quarter lead, the Red Birds were almost over- powered by a sudden Burr barrage that lasted for the next two frames. However, the Hill Roaders emerged the victors over West Catholic by a meager margin of two points, 59-37. Bud Fal1er's twin-pointer and Bob Banco's charity chuck gave Central win number seven. Babe Tulley was the big gun with 12 tallies. Cardinals - 42 ....... Coatesville High School - 41 Having more than their share of close games this season, the Cards managed to salvage another near wreck by defeating Coatesville 42-41. Neither team could boast of more than a four-point advantage at any time during the contest. Bud Faller iced the verdict for the Red and White when he dropped three straight fouls through the hoop in the final ninety seconds for the second triumph of the year over the Coats. Cardinals - 28 ........... Harrisburg Catholic - 38 Harrisburg Catholic's Crusaders put on a 20-point barrage in the last half to whip Central's basketeers 38-28. Tulley, Rocktashel, and Neiman led the way with 9, 5, 5. Cardinals - 27 ...... St. Joseph College Frosh - 35 Forging into a 13-7 halftime lead after trailing 4-2 at the end of the first quarter, M. McQuaite R. Bowers R, Bmw Versatile Player Agile Guard Speedy Forward the St. joseph College Frosh reversed the Cards 35-27. Leading the Red Birds' offense, Babe Tulley netted 11 points. Cardinals - 28 ............. Lebanon Catholic - 24 Rebounding to the winning path, the Red Birds edged Lebanon Catholic 28-24. Paul Gehringer was a spearhead of the Cardinals' attack with 11 points. His defensive and olfensive showing in the last quarter was a factor in the Cardinals' registering their ninth win. Cardinals - 34 ............. Reading Catholic -- 32 In one of the closest battles waged in the eight year-old hardwood history of Central Catholic, the Cards emerged the victor of a 34-32 decision. Putting on a comparatively poor showing against Reading Catholic, the Cards pulled the game out of the fire in the last few seconds of the game. Cardinals - 35 ...........,.

Preliminary Roustabouts OMPLETING the season with a total of seventeen wins and five defeats, the junior varsity proved what effects freshman basketball games did for them. Since nearly every player of last year's squad moved up to the varsity, Rev. Charles Dombay, coach of the Baby Cards, had to develop an entirely new combine. This he did by choos- ing the outstanding, players from the previous year's freshman array plus a few extra first-year performers. Despite the loss of Charles Gehringer and james Kase, who moved up to the varsity during mid-season, the jayvees continued to defeat the best of the high school junior varsities and independent teams in the area. Cardinals - 55 ............. Reading Catholic - 41 Really turning on the heat, the Cards snowed under their archrivals 55-41, in the last quarter. Fighting in a nip and tuck battle, Reading Catholic's lack of reserves proved to be their downfall. Bob Banco took over the scoring honors with 11 markers. Cardinals - 68 ............ Lansford Catholic - 37 Having their hottest hands of the campaign against Lansford, the Cardinals romped to an easy victory with the highest score of the season 68-37.

St. james, Chester - 31 Avenging an earlier setback of one point, the Cards put the game on ice in the last quarter, winning 55-31. Having set the pace by six points at the end of halftime, 20-14, the Cards saw their advantage shaved to one marker, 24-25, at the end of the third quarter.

Several of the freshman team performers were playing with the junior varsity before the court campaign commenced. Nextlyear the fledglings should be welll able to fill the positions vacated by Father Dombay's men who move up to varsity ball. Cardinals - 37 .............. Perkiomen Prep - 42 Rolling up 11-2 and 28-9 leads at the end of the first two periods, the Cards went into a tailspin in the last half. Managing to score but one point in the third stanza, the Schaafmen bowed 42-37 in defeat at the hands of Perkiomen Prep's higher experience. Charles Gehringer and Bud Faller topped the scorers by gathering 8 points apiece. Cardinals - 37 . . . Central Catholic, Allentown - 53 A 4-0 Cardinal lead was short-lived as the Vikings continued the jinx over the Red Birds in the first round of P.C.I.A.A. playoffs. The first time the Cards had Allentown bewildered by their defense, but the offensive efforts found the Birds unable to hit the hoop. Babe Tulley lead the Readingites with 18 points as the Cards lost 53-37. Cardinals- 35 .......... St. Joseph, Oil City -45 For the second consecutive year Central was defeated in the qualifying round of the Williamsport K. of C. Tournament. This time St. Joseph of Oil City turned the trick by trouncing Central 45-35. Dave Blum, high scorer of the tournament, was the opposition's siege gun with 18 points, while Bud Faller lead the Cards with 14. VARSITY TEAM-First Row: H. Trompetter, B. Loeper, G. Boaman, M. Essig, D. Blatt, C. Bender, J. Kase. Second Row: NDER the capable and enthusiastic coaching of Miss Virginia Illuzzi, the Cardettes romped through their court season with eleven victories, nine defeats, and one tie. Losing only two games in the Class B League to the Frank- lins, the Lassies took the runner-up spot. Only after hard- fought battles the Cardettes suffered defeats at the hands of such teams as Robesonia, Notre Dame of Moylan, and Kutztown. Coach Virginia llluzzi, Manager J. Karli, R. Giamotri, P. Gan- tert, A. Adams, C. Klosowski, M. Dolan, M. Brungard, Man- ager D. Kreisher. The best offensive campaign was aimed against the Blue and Gold of Reading Catholic. when the Cardettes racked up 45 counters to their opponents' 7. The first meeting with the Franklins was one of the toughest battles that confronted the Lassies. Holding their adversaries to 23 points, the Cardettes managed to come within 3 markers of tying the Franklins. Bernadette Loeper took high scoring honors, pocket- ing 516 tallies to top Doris Ganter's previous record of 300 points. Mary Essig, Dolores Blatt, and Hilda Trompetter accounted for the rest of the scoring, nabbing 251 counters among them. Many of the season's victories can be at- tributed to the capable guards who kept the opponents' scores comparatively low. The Lassies scored 567 markers for the hardwood season to their opponents' 514. Coach V. llluzzi giving last-minute instructions before a game to G. Boaman, B. Loeper, D. Blart, C. Bender, H.

Track Stars Who Performed ln Central is ew tadium ENTRAIJS pride and joy, its own sta- dium, was put into use for the first time in the spring of '48 by the track team which held all its home meets on the new turf. The present site, composed of a football field and track, occupies only a portion of the property belonging to the school. The portion to the left of the improved ground will furnish ample space for a gigantic base- ball diamond. Ofhcially opened with a bang on Sunday, May 30, the stadium was graced by many local and national celebrities, among whom was Frank Leahy, the present coach and former star of Notre Dame Football. The State Catholic Track and Field Meet pro- vided the sports entertainment for the oc- casion. In the future the stadium will be used for all Central football and track events.

These nine senior track members, J. Bruno, J. Gallen, R. Borst, H. Bush, D. Buser, R. Feicht, G. Humma, W. Mackay, and E. Stoc- benau, are very much interested in the advice Coach Dr. Ralph Mulligan has to offer to aid in that winning form. Dr. Ralph Mulligan looks over his new record-breaking relay team, J. Rocktashel, J. Adam, R. Borst, J. Gallen, R. Flannery, j. Ciabattoni, and R. Banco, and seems to find them in perfect shape for another vic- tory. GROUP of forty-six cindermen responded to Dr. Mulligan's call for track can- didates this spring. This was quite a drop in the number of turnouts compared to last year's response. One of the toughest cards ever drawn up faces the Red and White thin- clads, who are small in number, because of the new athletic rule which prohibits an athlete from participating in more than one sport at a time. The '48 squad will hold the distinction of being the first to use the new stadium.

Seaman, before one of the big games. OE MCLAUGHLIN, starting his second year as head baseball coach, has the mak- ings of another winning team, one that may match, or even better, last season's record of seven and one. Indications point to a hard hitting team with such returning vets as George Brizek who hit .440 last yearg Dom Rapino, .-428, and Babe Tulley, .407. New talent has been found in jack McGlinn, jim Roland, and Joe Seaman. Back on the mound will be Paul Gehringer, an outstanding hold-over from last year. Ready to prove their ability of finding the plate with sharp curves and whizzing fast balls will be johnny janiszewski, jack Breedy, Joe Rahs, and Jack Connor. Handling their slants will be Charles Tulley and Gerry Didyoung, while the infield posts will be taken care of by jim Roland at lirst, Dom Rapino at second, George Brizek at short, and Charlie Neiman at third. In ready reserve will be Bernie Seaman, Tom Franey, Mike DePaul, and Al Gattone. The outer pasture will be patrolled by jack McGlinn, Bill Ludwikowski, and George Rocktashel. In reserve will be jim Goss, joe Seaman, and Dick Bowers. With a thirteen-game schedule, Central looks to another successful year. -E With the purchase of the new school bus, the problem of transporting athletes to and from the new stadium has been solved. Sporting a bright orange color, the bus, with ' its Reading Central Catholic High School on either side in bold black letters, defies mistaking. f .I Money to purchase the bus was obtained prin- cipally through the efforts of Mr. Ollie Ruoff and his co-workers, who staged two minstrels-one in 1946 and the other last year. To these staunch friends of Central we extend appreciation and gratitude. Diamond Players E e a Good Year in the National Pastime Front: Mascot J. McLaughlin, jr. First Row: P. Gehringer, J.
