a CENTRAL CATHOLC HIGH SCHOOL ECHO 13 The football team has not yet been picked, and itis' doubtful if football will be included in the High School athletics this year,'as many of the students do not favor the game as a High School' sport. - The attendance for September has been most gratifying. The Saturday session begun last spring for the Skiving Club has hal the desired eifect. Anthony Trapp has been appointed assistant in the school book store. Anthony comes all the way from Garrett every day, and we are told that he reads Charles O' Malley while on the car going and coming. He is sure some student. The members of the Faculty ofhlast year who have returned are: Brother Daniel, C. S. C., Su- perior, Brother Exupere, C. S. C., Brother Ephrem, C. S. C., Brother Gregory, C. S. C., Brother Anth- ony, C. S., C. , ' . Brother Edmund, C. S. C., who replaces Brother Nicholas, C. S. C., is a new member of the High School Faculty. He comes to us after a pre- paration of eight years at Notre Dame University. Jerome Miller, Adrian Hayes, and Dawson Hayes of the 1913 Class, are attending Notre Dame 'Uni- versity. Jerry and Dawson dropped in to see the teachers and students before going back to school. We presume that Adrian must have had a date somewhere. About the middle of September, John Reuss, Louis Centlivre and Emmet Rohyans came in to see how things are going at C. C. H. S. rAll three are of the 1914 Class. They have returned to Notre Dame to continue their studies. . Leon Baker, of the 1914. Class, has entered on his second year at Wisconsin University. Gerald Pierre and Don Weber, of the same Class, are at Purdue. They came in to encourage their old Prep chums before joining the Boiler-makers. Bill Mull'er, another -1914 man, has returned to Michigan University. We wonder if he still has the art of making friends. - r Bill Brennan, 1915 Class, has gone to Michigan to keep Muller company, and as a matter of course strike out for a degree in Engineering. , Steve , Weber, 1913 Class, has recently been elected Chancellor of the ,Fort Wayne Knights of Columbus. Charlie Girardot, 1913 Class, has returned to St. Meinrad's Seminary to continue his studies for the priesthood. ' , Brother Nicholas, C. S. C., a member of the High School Faculty of last year is now at Sacred Heart College, 'Watertown, Wisconsin. Brother Bernard, C. S. C., a former teacher here, is su- perior there. Sacred iieart College is used ex- clusively for postulants who intend to become members of the Holy Cross Brotherhood. Rev. John McCarthy, of the Cathedral, has charge of the Christian Dostrine classes of the High School. The High School Orchestra, under the direc- tion of Brother Edmund, C. S. C., has passed the first stage of formation. All things promise for a great orchestra this year, and it is hoped that such a necessary factor in school life will have the encouragement of whole student body.. Every student who has had some practice in instrument- al music is asked to report to the Director. Orchestra practice is held twice a week-YVed- nesdays at 8:30 a. m., and Fridays at 7:00 p. m. Among those who have reported for practice are the following: Piano-Aaron Huguenard, William Fry, Charles Harkenrider, Frank Rogers, Frank Doriot, Robert Kramer. Violin-Joseph Brennan, Lawrence Kelly, Ed- ward Bushman, Edward Duffy, Paul Foohey, Al- phonse Centlivre, Herman Centlivre, Louis Beck, James Huntine. 1 Clarinet-Joseph Zuber. Drums-George Hamilton. Mandolin-Corley Herber. . .T.i SOPHONIORE -CLASS No'rEs. John Till is the only one ofour class who did not return. The others are marching shoulder to shoulder,' and there is much reason to believe that none of them willllag behind. We certainly feel proud of our bunch because we have the best class spirit in school, notwithstanding any- thing said to the contrary by the Seniors or Juniors-and as for Freshies -who are they anyway? You watch our class when Roy and Huguenard and Conway and Wyss start a sprint for the class medal. And we have a lot of dark horses, too. McLaughlin and Derck are pound- ing away at the typewriters, getting in shape to handle the i'Echo stuff at Christmas.-A. H.

Beck Harold Kramer A. Huguenard For many years the Catholic people of Fort Wayne felt the need of a Catholic high school where their sons might obtain a higher education without neglecting those principles which teach man that his iirst obligation is to God. The Rt. , Rev. Bishop Alerding, ever watchful OUR for the interests of his flock, say this SCHOOL need, too, and in the face of many difficulties-particularly financial ones -established a high school for the Catholic boys of every parish in the city. His undertaking has been wonderfully successful under such adverse conditions. Already there are graduates of the C'ntral Catholic High School in four universitiesg and others have taken their places right here in Fort Wayne to fight life's battle under the banner of God and Country. VVe who are still preparing for that battle have just now undertaken the task of bringing a reflection of our preparatory work into the homes of our Catholic brethren and all other friends of education in our city. We believe in a school paper whetheriit be of CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ECHO V . lllll I lllllll llllllllllll-Ill-Illllllllllllllllllillq ' spirit we offer the first number of the Ti-IE Echo to the public. We have tried ECHO as far as possible to deliniate the char-- acter which the future issues of the Echo are to assume. It is our purpose to deal more with the serious aspects of school life rather than with the frivolous or ephemeral, to write something that may be instructive as well as en- tertaining, for we realize that the iirst object of a school is character development. The educational benefits we may derive from the Writing of such a paper cannot be measured by what we write, but by the obstacles we have to overcome in learning to think and to write correctly. Wfith boyish hearts we offer this little work of ours as a token of gratitude to our founder, the Rt. Rev. Bishop, whose continued effort makes our school possible-to our teachers, the Brothers of Holy Cross, under whose influence we have learned to value education-to the pastors of the different Catholic parishes who have cos OUR operated in sustaining a Central BENEFACTORS Catholic High schooi- to the many citizens of Fort .Wayne who have encouraged our school during the sik years of its existence-and above all, to our par- ents, by whose daily sacrinces we are enabled to acquire a Catholic Higher Education. LOCAL AND PERSONAL All the desks in the study hall got a once over with oak varnish during the summer. Imprints of the twelve gold medals for certain branches of study have been added to thecollec- tion of pictures in the back of the study hall. They were made by Juergens Sa Anderson Co., Jewelers, Chicago. The Seniors have taken up quarters in the Physics Room, as the study hall is packed with? Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. At the first meeting of the Senior Class, J os'eph Brennan 'was elected presidentg Paul Foohey, sec- retaryg Leo Weber, treasurer.

We learned who is to teach us but we did not discuss the matter. We got off at 2:26. Paul Foohey did not show up in the afternoon. He is beginning the year well. Wednesday, September 8.-It was very hot in class to-day, but hot days may come, and hot days may go, but school goes on forever. Great class spirit was shown at the election of officers in the afternoon. Election results-Mr. Brennan, presi- dentg Mr. Foohey, secretary, Mr. Weber, treasurer. Out of humility the president tendered his resigna- tion, but the class would not accept it. Thursday, September 9.-School work began in earnest to-day. Brennan got sick in the forenoon and went home. We hope you enjoyed your little vacation, Joe. First football practice was held at Lawton Park. Sixteen candidates reported. 1 Friday, September 10.-Brennan has again re- ported for duty. Bob Beuret worked over time for being inattentive to our friend Orlo's recita- tion.

CNO this is not the Harkenrider that runs away from the Penal farm, but our own Charlie who runs a restaurant on Main street.J John Paul Jones Foohey reported for class at 9:10 this morning. We think that anyone who had to bring such a burdensome name all the way from Creighton Avenue couldn't get here in, time. Tuesday, September 21.-Classmate Haley an- nounced to the class today that he gets his plots for his famous stories from his observation of Charlie Chaplin.-The Face on the Bar-room Floor didn't pass the censor that afternoon.

Thursday, September 23.-Sad news for the pen- wielders. Only one story from a bushel-basket- ful selected for the Echo And still the Seniors think they are some story-writers. Who was offended when he was told that he did not have experience enough to write a love story? Friday, September 24.-Football practice at Lawton did not amount to much as Brother Ephrem gave all the-Seniors an extra dose of Physics after 3.30. J oe Brennan was the Iirst to recover his buoyancy, but he didn't thank Archi- medes. I Monday, September 27.-Strange things will happen. Though nobody, dared to mount a street car this morning because the two thousand city caremen are on strike, 'every member of the Senior class was on time. This may be due to the fact that Leo Weber had proposed taking up
