JAMES FRANCIS DUJARIE A Centenary A centenary marks a consider- able length of time. Many things can happen in a hundred years. Kings live and die and are forgot- ten. Empires rise and pass into oblivion. Great authors strive for fame and when they are gone their Works are held in the memory of but a few. It is only a really great event that lives through the ages and holds a place in the minds and hearts of many. Such an event was commemor- ated at Notre Dame this year, when on August 12th representa- tives of the Congregation of Holy Cross from all climes and parts of the World assembled at the Uni versity to do honor to the memory and works of the saintly founder of the Brothers of the Congregation of Holy Cross. On this day Was celebrated the centenary anniver- sary of the founding of the Broth- ers of St. Joseph by the Very Reverend James Francis Dujarie. This chosen child of the Church was born of pious, humble parents December 9, 1767, at Sainte-Marie- des-Bois, Mayenne, and from his tenderest years the grace of God hovered over him. During his boyhood We find no distinctive marks other than a blameless life and a deep-rooted piety, for in his early childhood he had heard the 2 U THE ECHO Divine whisperf 'Come follow Me , and the vision of the Chalice and the Altar was ever before him. He studied hard and diligently at a time when it was difficult to pre- serve the life of the body to say nothing of that of the soul. The tide of the French Revolution at this time had reached its crest. It was a period of misguided mobs, dreadful persecution, and wide- spread execution. Throughout these dark days the undaunted youth suffered untold hardships and privations. He was forced to practice his religion in secret and to work at whatever trade might fur- nish the scanty means for his existence. In 1795 he was ordained priest and celebrated his first Mass in a cellar, Until a brighter day dawn- ed he passed unknown through the multitude, stealthily ministering to the sick in body and soul. Very often his feet were without shoes, and his only shelter was a stable or a barn. The dawn of the nineteenth century restored many legal rights to the Catholics of F rance, but the Revolution had materially weak- ened the saving influence of the Church, and whole generations had grown up ignorant alike of Catholic doctrine and moral re- sponsibility. To reclaim success- fully this neglected portion of the Lord's once fruitful vineyard, it was necessary above all to gather together the little ones-as yet untainted with the poison of er- ror-and to instruct them i11 the truths of Holy Faith. To aid him in this grand work Father Dujarie in 1805 founded the Sisters of Providence whose most prominent establishment in this country is Saint Mary's-of-the-Woods, and in 1820 he founded the Brothers of Saint Joseph, now the Brothers of Holy Cross whose motherhouse is at the University of Notre Dame. At the Centennial Celebration at Notre Dame the founding of the Brothers was described thus: Just one hundred years have passed since the pious pastor of Ruille, Father James Francis Dujarie, gathered in his presbytery a band of devout young men, who without aspiring to the priesthood, yet animated by a true zeal for God's glory and the salvation of souls, had formed themselves into a religious community under the title of the Brothers of Saint Joseph, having no other aim than to imi- tate the humble and hidden life of their holy patron. Toward the end of the year 1820 the community numbered four persons. A little more than a year later one is sur- prised to find there were eight schools under the care of the Brothers. The Bishop of Mans seeing that the novitiate could not be suitably maintained in the country took measures to have the Brothers transferred to the episcopal city, where in 1835, Father Dujarie, broken in health and feeling the burden and responsibility too heavy for his declining years, resigned the care of the rapidly growing community to the Bishop who in turn placed it under the guidance of Father Antony Moreau. After Father Moreau was ap- pointed superior of the Brothers of Saint Joseph he took upon himself the task of uniting them to the Auxiliary Priests, a society formed by himself but a short while before. The new organization received the THE ECHO 3 name of the Congregation of Holy Cross from the title of the parish church near which the mother- house was located. The associa- tion of two distinct but not sepa- rate societies into one congregation as brought about byFather Moreau was declared by Pope Leo XIII to be unique in the Church? Fath- er Moreau's work did not end here for besides directing the Fathers and Brothers, he founded and di- rected the Sisters of Holy Cross as well. Three years after the union of the two societies, the community numbered fifteen priests and eighty- five Brothers. It was at this time that the first foreign establishment was made in Algeria, Africa. Soon after at the urgent requests of missionary Bishops, the Brothers led by devoted Fathers were sent to the United States in 18413 to Canada in 1847 5 to India in 1852, and then followed successively the establishments of the congregation in Poland, Guadoloupe, Italy, and Dalmatia. Such in brief was the origin and development of the spiritual sons of Father Dujarie. To perpetuate the memory of this Apostle of Education, a few years ago a normal school for the Brothers was erected at Notre Dame, and this year the Dujarie Burse for the training of Catechists for the Bengal Mission commemor- ates the Centenary of the Brothers of Holy Cross, and honors the memory of the saintly founder whose spirit lives in the missionar- ies of Holy Cross laboring for the conversion of 20,000,000 unbe- lievers in Bengal. Perhaps the greatest testimony that can be presented of the zeal and apostolic spirit of the Dujarie foundations is that six self-sacri- ficing Sisters of Providence have but recently departed from their native shores to carry the spirit of their holy founder to Pagan China , while six Brothers accom- panied by two priests of Holy Cross are soon to set sail for their ar- duous mission in Bengal. The Catholics of Fort Wayne have every reason to rejoice with the sons of Father Dujarie over this happy centenary. This city has for many years felt the abiding spirit and influence of their founder. Next June the Sisters of Providence will celebrate the diamond jubilee of their labors in the city. In 1852 three Brothers opened a primary school here, and since then the total number of those who completed, their studies in 'fThe Old Brothers, School exceeds three thousand. In 1909 the Central Catholic High School as we know it today was opened to the Catholic youth of Fort Wayne, and all this was made possible by the prudent foresight of Father Dujarie a century ago. It seems Htting, therefore, that in this city where the spiritual chil- dren of that glorious apostle have labored so long and so earnestly, the Echo should give some recog- nition to the memory and the works of that venerable priest whose zeal and piety added a new cohort to God's army. -J. Luley, '21. Our faults seem small in us until we detect them in other people. Vanity is a blight that injures many reputations. All success in life depends upon continuous personal effort. 4 THE ECHO A New England Christmas Out upon the harbor Ice-clad vessels lie, Flakes of snow fall thickly From a burdened sky, Carpeting the meadows VVith a glittering floor, Heaping in great snow banks By each cabin door. All within are cheerful, Hearts are light and gay. Each small voice cries joyously, This is Christmas Day. -R. Neeb, '21. The Return I. Far away in the arid, wind-swept desert of Arizona stands a small, prospector's cabin. As far as the eye can see there is no other sign of human habitation. The cabin stands alone except for the sage brush and cactus, the wolves that howl around it, and the lizards that bask on the threshhold. A little distance from the sagging door is a hitching post, at its foot, the skeleton of what was once a horse. The interior of the cabin is as drab looking as the exterior. Here a curtain, there a piece of lace give mute evidence that at some time a woman had made this her home. Perhaps these same bleak walls had once looked down upon a happy romance. Now, however, the scene is one of desolation. Everything is in disorder and con- fusion. Upon a dust covered table lies a large revolver, one bullet fired. Near by is a piece of time- stained paper, and if you bend close you can make out the message there. Good-bye, Harry, I've gone back to God's country. Don't follow me. I'm through for good. This loneliness was killing me. I still love you but I cannot stay. Evelyn. 1 II. As we gaze on this dismal scene a speck appears on the horizon. As it approaches it is seen to be a speeding auto driven by a woman. She stops the car about a hundred feet from the shack and alights. She stands, hesitating a moment as though waiting for a welcome. As none is forthcoming she advances. She stops suddenly as she sees the skeleton of the horse and seems to notice for the first time the gloomy appearance of her surroundings. One hand flies to her heart, she darts to the door and disappears within. As her eyes become accustomed to the semi-darkness she sees the revolver and the paper on the table. She advances slowly, exam- ines the weapon and reads the note. A shudder passes over her,and with a moan of agony she throws herself on the table, her shoulders heaving with the intensity of her emotion, calling again and again to him who she thinks has been the victim of her treachery. At last seeming to realize the futility of this she arises, and with one last look at the dreary room bows her head and leaves. III. A few months later in a far away city, a well dressed gentleman stepped into his private car, gave an order to his chauffeur, and the powerful machine started forward. In passing a cross street the ma- chine swerved in an attempt to avoid collision with another, and THE ECHO 5 struck a woman knocking her to the ground. With a grinding of brakes the engine stopped. In an instant the gentleman had the woman in the car. He rushed her to his own home and summoned a doctor. While waiting he paced the room like a caged lion, pausing now and then to gaze at the wan face of the sufferer. Vlfhen the physician arrived he was astonish- ed at the behavior of the man, W was as insistent and careful though the woman were his motn- er. After a hasty examination the doctor announced, 4'The woman is starved. If I am not mistaken sne has not tasted food for at least two days. That, with the shock of the auto striking her, has placed her in a critical condition. Rest and good food for a week will see her well. IV. VVhen the woman opened her eyes she could scarcely believe her senses. There by her side was the husband she had thought dead and buried miles away in a lonely desert. She reached out an in- vestigating arm. No, he was there 5 this was really Harry. In a few moments she was explaining: 'fWhen I left you I secured work, and for awhile was content. After a few months I began to long for you. At last I could stand it no longer and I determined to go back. I hired a car and drove out to our old home, and here she told him what she had seen. The shock was terrible. Since then I have wandered around not heeding or caring where I went. But what of the revolver with the one bullet missing beside my note on the cabin table, and what are you doing here? ho as f'When you left I felt there was nothing to live for. In a rage I crumpled up your note and de- parted from the cabin. For a long time I was a wanderer. Then I reached this place and took a new grip on life, and I made good. I cannot say what has taken place at the cabin since I left there, but some day I intend to return and straighten things up in remem- brance of old times,', he explained, and a deep silence fell between them. Harry, can you forgive? , she shyly inquired. Forgive? Yes. Not only forgive but also forget. We will close that chapter of our lives and on this Christmas night begin to live only for the future. -J. Haley, '21. The Pledge of '23 A score plus ten and five are we, To leave the school in twenty-three With every member to a man A-doing all the work he can. We're proud of this old school of ours, We love its dear old battered towers. f We know it doesn't look like much, But we care not for looks, as such. We're here to drink-as morning dew- Our learning with religion too. For faith we'd fight, for faith we'd die, We'd do the same for Catholic High. -P. McEvoy, '23. 6 THE ECHO The Hidden Grave E It is midnight. A soft breeze rustles the pine needles, as the moon looks down on the dormant earth. Suddenly the silence is broken by the sound of footsteps plodding slowly through the brush. A grotesque form emerges from the woods, and starts to climb slowly up Murder Hill. It is a man. On his shoulder he carries a burden. Now and then he stops to look back down the hill. Evidently he has eluded his pursuers for his haggard features are dimly lighted by a sneering smile. Animals scurry from his path as though he were tainted. But he pays no heed. He stops to wipe the perspiration from his face, and one hears his labored breathing. As he again proceeds up the hill his step is more careful, for he is rapidly approach- ing the chosen spot. Several min- utes later he reaches the summit. For the first time he lowers the bundle to the ground. From his shoulder he unslings a shovel. Carefully selecting a suitable rest- ing place for the remains, he digs frantically. He hurries, for he has a feeling of impending danger. At last the grave is finished. As he raises the burden to deposit it in the yearning hole, he cannot re- strain a few tears as a token to his only friend. Each shovelful of earth seems to pain him, but he proceeds in spite of this. Having finished he marks the place so that he alone will know it, and with one last look he turns homeward. But, alas! he dies of sorrow on the way, and with him is buried the key to the resting place of the last keg of Old Kentucky. -J . Striefus, '21. One-Man Street Cars Oh, yes, we have a few speci- mens, you couldn't tell it by look- ing at them, and it would be a hard task to convince a stranger in Fort Wayne that those little yellow match-cases which run about the streets are street cars. Of course they aren't, theyre just samples. Here I am ridiculing a little, de- fenseless street car instead of de- scribing it, but I rode in one once, and if you ever do the same it's a safe bet that the descriptive adjec- tives with which you'll adorn your candid opinion will be censured be- fore they reach polite society, al- though everyone feels the same way about it. After carefully scrutinizing one through a telescope, we find that it has four wheels, one as a rule flat, a front and a back door, not used very much except for entering, the windows being much handier and less difficult for exit. Why? I'll explain later. On the front is a large number which is illuminated at night, probably an identification number to enable the company to recognize the little thing in case someone should forget to bid Satan to get behind him, and take one home for a souvenir pocket-piece or watch charm. A person has to follow the rules for stalking deer to catch one-man street cars, because they are as scarce as hen's teeth when needed, a trait they copied from policemen' Once I waited for what seemed hours before finally catching one, and after depositing the usual jit Cat present a seven-cent slug is in order? I took a seat, but as I never had much experience in one of Henryls shufHe buggies, I THE ECHO 7 couldn't hold it for more than thirty seconds at a time, the inter- vals between having been spent in floating uncertainly about a foot above it. There are seven such seats on either side, each having a capacity for two thin persons, or one fat person. Then there are two boards hinged at the back, that is, the north end when going south, and vice versa. You see, there are controls at either end, and when the car is going one direction, those at the other end are not used, so four more individ- uals can be seated, making the seat- ing capacity just thirty-two. As a rule, the count is forgotten, and by the time the Transfer Corner is reached the passenger list has climbed to sixty-four and some- times even seventy, as there are straps on which an athlete can hang, giving the space otherwise occupied by his feet to some other victim. And there is a bar separat- ing the entrance from the exit upon which a tight-rope artist can perch. Besides, the conductor-motorman has learned from experience that by starting and stopping suddenly he can pack the passengers closer, bale them as it were, thereby enab- ling him to take on several more fares. Now you see why the door is used so little for exit, or rather was used so little, because recently someone devised a system of bars on the windows, cutting off this mode of escape. Since the introduction of these small imitations of the real thing the two rival routes known as the C. Y. B. 85 W. Ccarry your baggage and walkj and the L. E. 85 W. Cleave early and walkj have be- come more popular, because they are more reliable and not so crowd- ed. Then, they are not a sure death to a perfectly good shine, or a nicely pressed suit. The name one-man street car is derived from the fact that the crew consists of one man. He wears a blue suit with brass buttons, and gives you twenty nickles in eX- change for a dollar bill. He is called a conductor-motorman be- cause he does his best to conduct one somewhere with the facilities he has, and motorman because- Oh, well, he's called it. But let us be thankful for small favors, and remember what the sage says about small beginnings and great endings, and big oaks and little hickory nuts. -E. J. B., '21. Christmas The time is come The time of bells And they are ringing O'er hills and dells, To spread the tidings O'er the whole earth, To tell the faithful Of the Infant's birth. The snow is falling And cloaks the land In a coat of white. And a joyous band Of angles sing, In happy flight, Their Glorias This Christmas night. -E. Kramer, '21. The secret of success is to do as well as one possibly can. 8 THE ECHO A Christmas Present for Father The giving of presents as tokens of love, esteem, friendship, or as a matter of policy is very, very old. In the Old Testament many ex- amples are given. The one which comes to my mind now is the Queen of Sheba's gift to Solomon. But you may ask how the custom of giving presents at Christmas time came about. Who gave the first Christmas gifts and who re- ceived them? If you will recall, this is answered in the New Testa- ment. The Infant Jesus in the stable of Bethlehem was the first one to receive Christmas gifts. The three kings were the givers. - The gifts they gave were suitable to their station in life and for the occasion. Their offerings were princely, and were for the King of Princes. Presents need not neces- sarily cost a great deal to be useful, for sometimes the most common- place article is most acceptable. So a present for father, what will it be? He has mufflers, gloves, a watch fob, lodge pins, and a cane. I must get something useful. Oh, yes, every night he comes home tired after being on his feet all day. His old house slippers are gone-the dog chewed the tops off the two of them. So a pair of house slippers it will be. They are not very expensive, but still some- one has said: Think not of the gift, but of the love of the giver. In this I think father will be pleased though the gift is to be used only in the house. wk 14 FIC ill Father was very much pleased with his gifts from mother, sister, and brother Joe. He did not say much to me, but I think he liked my gift most of all. Why? Well, he called me out into the dining room and gave me a ten dollar bill. Is not that pretty good proof? Of course mother got a present as did sister and Joe, but mine was the best, I know it. -Eugene Luley, '23. The Church on Judgment Day The hills roll back to hide their eyes, The snow-clad mountains droop away, The dread seas kiss the blood-red skies, And man bemoans his judgment day. Beside the Great White Throne, behold A bride assumes the reign of Heaven, Her mantles sheltered and con- soled The saints. Her mantles number seven. Beautiful, stately, she with-stood The demon in an earthly fight, Clothed in her mantles and her hood Now more than morning she is bright. To those upon His left Christ turned, One look, they swiftly fled away, Rightward His eyes of longing burned And God found mighty words to say: Arise, make haste, my spouse, my love, For time at last brooks no delay, The winter's past, my love, my dove, This is our final nuptial day. -J. H. THE ECHO 9 Breaking the Spell It was fast turning dusk, and as I stood on the station platform wondering at the grandeur of the scenes about me, I felt that at last I had obtained the correct setting for resuming my literary work. For the past eight years I had been writing for various magazines and periodicals, and at last, devoid of ideas, I undertook to find some spot where the beauty of the scenery and the magnificence of the sur- roundings would give inspiration to my sluggish imagination. Fi- nally hearing of a little town called M-L near the banks of the Hudson River, I determined to go there at once. I acted on my reso- lution, and in an incredibly short time I found myself standing alone on the deserted platform, while the train vanished around the hills in the distance. It was a quaint little town which I now beheld, a typical Dutch vil- lage with small tile-roofed houses and carefully kept little yards. It immediately gave an impression of simplicity and tranquillity, and yet a strange, dim suspicion of mystery and unreality overhung all. It was in just such a village as this, I thought, that Rip Van Winkle pursued his shiftless course, and the outlines of the distant mountains emphasized the possibility for the unreal and mys- tic. My first thought was to take a room in the picturesque inn, and when this was accomplished I en- gaged in conversation with the old inn-keeper, determined to ascer- tain the nature of my surround- ings. To all my questions he answered affably, but when I men- tioned to him that I was desirous of experiencing some of the mys- teries which are always connected with the Catskill Mountains he shook his head and said, Myster- ies! we have but one. A short dis- tance, perhaps a mile or two, down the south road stands what remains of the beautiful mansion of a wealthy London merchant. One night about six years ago, he, his wife, and their one child strangely disappeared, and nothing has been heard or seen of them since. At times strange sounds issue from the walls of the house, sounds inde- scribable in their blood-curdling horribleness, and on such occasions a thin, opalescent stream of light envelopes the entire upper story of the house. No one in the village save my son Hans is brave enough to go near the place, but if you should wish to do so, he will no doubt accompany you. Try as I might I could not keep a slight smile of incredulity from my lips, a smile which the aged man saw and readily understood. He, however, said nothing. Late that evening as I was pre- paring to retire the son approached me and offered to guide me to the deserted house. Gladly I accepted the invitation and soon we were plodding along the dusty dirt road. We had walked briskly for ten minutes when I saw looming up be- fore us the outlines of a once mag- nificent home. We approached within about a hundred feet of the house when things occurred which fairly made my blood freeze in my veins. A pale glow illuminated the windows, a light which I can only describe as appearing like the rays of the moon filtering through a 10 THE rainbow, if such a comparison can be imagined. Along with this was a distinct though incomprehen- sible murmur like the sighing of the night winds rustling through the treetops. Increasing in volume for a short time, it suddenly ceased, and then I beheld the strangest sight that man had ever witnessed. The huge door of the mansion flew open, and out trooped the wierdest assembly that the highest Hight of imagination can fancy. Strange personages, human inas- much as they walked, or seemed to walk, living in that they appeared tangible-they yet presented so ghostly and mystical an appearnce as to be beyond description. Over them the strange light hovered, enabling us to witness their ac- tions. Forming in a great circle, they began to dance about three of their number whom we could clearly see to be a man, a woman, and a child. Slowly at first, then faster and faster they whirled ac- companied by a chant which seem- ed too soft and distant to proceed from the dancers, but which gath- ered in volume as the seconds passed. Suddenly the dancing ceased, the forms re-entered the building, the door closed, the pale glowing light lingered for a mo- ment, and then vanished as though hidden by an enveloping cloud, leaving us alone, alone with the ghostly and silent inhabitants of the night, alone with the dreadful silence and our terror.

It was just one o'clock when a well dressed man of medium height stopped in front of a large and prosperous looking house on the avenue. As he stopped a light on the lower floor was extinguished, and taking advantage of the now dark front yard, he stepped into the shadow of a large tree which effectually shielded him from the dim illumination of a street lamp. Here he sat down on the lawn, leaned back against a tree, all the while keeping an eye on the house and especially on a light which still was burning in a front room on the second floor. He sat there for nearly an hour until the light was extinguished. Then he rose from his place of concealment, cautious- ly ascended the steps to the front porch, and noiselessly tried the door. It was evidently fastened for he did not open it, but walked down quietly from the porch and quickly moved around to the side of the house. He made his way to the rear and there tried another door with no more success than had attended his first effort. He seemed to be taken back a little with this turn of affairs, and he stood for several moments scanning the back of the house. Then he tried a window that stood a little way above the ground but success was not yet in his grasp. Another window and then another on the opposite side were tried, but to no avail. He now turned his attention to what was seemingly a cellar Window, and under his efforts it swung open. He soon disappeared inside, where all was dark and quiet. The first sound to greet him was the sharp bark of a dog which he quickly silenced with the words nice dog- gie. He proceeded cautiously through the darkness and only stopped when, as he climbed the cellar stairs, he kicked against a broom which the maid had left standing there, and sent it clatter- ing down to the floor. He stood breathless for several minutes, but evidently the noise had awakened no member of the household, and once more he moved until he reached the kitchen. Here he groped in the dark until he found a chair, and then he sat down and removed his shoes. After this he moved more freely, making quick- ly through the house until he came to the front stairway. Here he stopped and rubbed his shins, which he had bruised when he col- lided with a wagon one of the children had left standing in the library. Then he went up the stairs, step by step, slowly and deliber- ately. One step creaked, he shift- ed his weight to another. Another squeaked, and he slackened his steps. Finally he reached the top and turned, feeling his way in the darkness. He turned the knob of a door, quietly entered, and as quietly closed the door. Noiselessly he turned on the light, and sighed. The sigh was that of a man who has been re- lieved of a heavy burden. Mr. Jones had for once evaded the blockade of his wife, and was now safely entrenched in his own cham- ber after a nightly visit to his favorite club. He put his hand into his pocket, removed a roll of bills, and after slowly counting them, smiled broadly. '4Lucky at poker and every- thing, he muttered. F.A.,'21. THE ECHO Vol. VI. DECEMBER, 1920.

Every heart is light and gay striv- ing to make the Yuletide a happy one for friends and acquaintances. Presents are exchanged, old-time quarrels are forgotten, and friend- ships are renewed. But for Christ- ians Christmas means more than good cheer and the exchanging of gifts. It is the celebration of the greatest Gift ever bestowed upon the world, the birth of the Infant, King. On this day it is the reli- gious idea that predominates, and the Vhureh with the same senti- ments that inspired the angels' song centuries ago sings her Peace on earth to men of good Will. With feelings of this same joyous- ness we Wish all out readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.-P. M. Our Calling-All high School students, or at least those in the upper classes, should have some idea of the calling that they are to pursue in life. After all, time here is but a short period of probation given us to fit ourselves for the life to come. All of us are destined for some particular calling in which we can the more easily Work out our future destiny. If we bear this in mind we shall be careful what pro- fession we take up. If we are in THE ECHO 13 doubt about our vocation we should seek advice and direction, for almost all ill-chosen professions are the cause of much suffering and moral agony in this world. When we select our life-work let us choose the profession for which we are best fitted, for by so doing we can best fulfill our duty to God and man. -P. B. Second Year of Quarterly.- This number marks the appearance of the first issue of the school quarterly for its second year. Last year the publishing of a quarterly was a new undertaking and we spared no efforts to make our Echo appealing and interesting to our readers. With a year's experience before us we are determined to keep our paper up to its former literary standard, and to improve, if possible, each successive issue. With this in mind the first number was prepared and we are sure that our subscribers will receive it with the same favorable enthusiasm which they conceded to our last year's publication.-F. A. Our Advertisers-We take this means of expressing our apprecia- tion and thanks to the merchants and business men of Fort Wayne for the kindly interest manifested, and for the support given us in preparing the Echo. The cordial manner in which they received us and their willingness to advertise has been to us an incentive in our work. Their words of encourage- ment and advice we mean to fol- low that success may one day come to us as it has already come to them.-J. M. Activity Association-Last year an endeavor was made to form an organization to promote greater interest in school life, but the project was undertaken late and much could not be accom- plished. This year the Activity Association was reorganized, and it was decided to combine athletic and literary activities, and to give a literary program or entertain- ment each month. Nearly every student is enrolled, and if every member gives his support and lends his aid to whatever work is undertaken the Association will be a success and will accomplish the end for which it was organized.- S. M. Our Last Year-Three years have passed. Out of a freshman class of sixty only one-half have have survived. Still we shall have the largest graduating class in the history of the school. Under the influence of teachers and the higher classes we have, during our fresh- man, sophomore, and junior years, gathered some knowledge of the importance of school life, and what is more, we have formulated ideals which, if we let them guide us in our future years, can lead us only to what is best. In our senior year let us leave an example of success both in scholastic and athletic lines, that the following classes may profit thereby and do their part in turn.-R. N. Ridicule is the argument to which the dishonest and the ignorant gen- erally have recourse. 14 THE In Memoriam It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of Mr. Felix Logan, father of Kenneth of the Senior Class. Mr. Logan died at his home on October eighth after a six months' illness Which he bore With Christian fortitude and resigna- tion. The large attendance at his funeral evidenced the regard in Which he Was held by his acquaint- ances. To the bereaved family We extend our sincere and prayerful sympathy. On October twenty-sixth the Angel of Death came to summon Mrs. H. Miller, mother of Paul, a member of the Senior Class. Al- though her passing Was rather sud- den she had no cause to fear for she was ever a model Christian Wife and mother. We assure the family that she will receive a liberal share in the prayers of both faculty and students. May her precious soul rest in peace. Mrs. Clarence Olds, sister of Eugene Lulcy of the Sophomore Class, died on November seventh at hcl' home in Indianapolis. Al- though an invalid for a number of years, Mrs. Olds accepted hcr cross in a truly Christian spirit never complaining during her long illness. It may be a consolation to the family to know that she will re- ceive a frequent remembrance in the prayers of faculty and students. ECHO First Monthly Entertainment The C. C. H. S. Activity Asso- ciation has a very bright future be- fore it if We may judge by the en- thusiasm shown after the first monthly entertainment. The pro- gram consisted of selections by the School Orchestra and by the Man- dolin Club, which Were Well rend- ered 5 songs by the Glee Club, which were gotten off nicely, and recitations by Joe Mungovan, Pat- rick Donahue, and Everett Storey, each rendering his piece in a Way to do credit to old timers. Donald McDonald, chairman of the meet- ing and president of the Senior Class, read a paper on the purpose of the association and what it is expected to accomplish. At the end Brother Owen made a few remarks concerning the program, and complimented the performers upon the results.-A. B. Program .

Father Bolger, Dean of the Department of Economics at the University of Notre Dame, gave a short talk to the students of the school. He took as his subject the choosing of an ideal or an end, and how everyone should strive with all his power to the attainment of that end. Father Bolger is an ex- cellent speaker and drove home his points with emphasis. He cited several examples, making his talk interesting and convincing. We thank Father Bolger for his kindly interest in the school and we sin- cerely hope that we will be given the opportunity of hearing more talks of this nature in the future. -F. A. Right Reverend Bishop Le- grand's Visit Our school was very much hon- ored November 24th by a visit of the Right Reverend Bishop Le- grand, C.S.C., Bishop of Dacca, Bengal, East India, and Reverend Timothy Crowley, CSC., his Vicar General. His lordship gave a very interesting talk on the people under his care, describing their characteristics and manner of living. He thanked the school for what it has done in the past to help in his arduous labors. The point was emphasized that while all cannot go to Bengal, they can help in the work by their prayers and by being active in the under- takings of the school for the benefit of the Bengal Mission. As a testi- monial of appreciation the stu- dents presented the Bishop with a check for fifty dollars. St. Andrew's Day Program As gram noon, November 30th, in honor of Right Reverend Bishop Alerding, who observed the twentieth anni- versary of his consecration as bishop of the diocese of Fort Wayne. From D. McDonald's Da Greata Basaball to f'Santa Lucia, a four-part piece sung by twelve quaking seniors, everything went off nicely. Aloysius Becker and Ralph Neeb recited their parts in a very polished way, and the or- chestra played two pieces very cred- itably. But perhaps the musical selections of our two young vir- tuosos, Harry Swift and Johnny Burke, were the most pleasing parts of the program. Swift rend- ered a very difficult piano selec- tion and responding to an encore, gave another that required his fingers everywhere on the key- board at about the same time. Burke proved himself an adept with the violin by his rendition of Whispering, is the yearly custom, a pro- was given Tuesday after- Program The Nest Love .,,i Louis Hirsch Orchestra Address of Welcome-Ralph Neeb Piano Solo-f'Syncopated Sym- phony .............

Schwariz Orchestra Welcome Address Right Reverend Bishop: We are gathered here today to commemorate the twentieth anni- versary of your consecration as Bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne. It is a pleasure to have you with us, and we welcome you to our school, the school whose existence was made possible only through your untiring endeavor and zealous labors. Twenty years ago Divine Provi- dence appointed you to be the she- herd of an important flock, and from the day when the sacred oils of consecration were placed upon you, you have guarded your fold with a tender and solicitous care. Ever mindful of the welfare of your people, you have devoted your earnest efforts to their spiritual and temporal well-being. Among the many noble works accom- plished by your lordship as head of this diocese,-we would dwell upon but one, the founding of our high school, a result of your interest in Catholic Education. The fore- sight which inspired you to found this school, and the determination which completed that plan so suc- cessfully, could come only from one who is keenly interested in higher scholastic work. Desirous of giving the boys of Fort VVayne a better C'hristian training you established this f'entral Catholic High School, for in your wisdom, born of years of experience, you realized the necessity of such an ECHO ' undertaking. Where there is no constant reminder of God, it is man's nature to follow the lines of least resistance, and to give vent to those inclinations which lead ultimately to mental and moral ruin. It requires constant reli- gious influence, the influence of those who have at heart not only our mental welfare, but also our spiritual well-being, to lead us along the path of true Christian manhood. You secured for our teachers the Brothers of Holy Cross whose deeds, more than any words we can utter, bespeak their zeal. Due to their efforts in Fort Wayne, hundreds of young men have entered upon life's journey better fitted to succeed, because of a godly education. Whatever success this school has attained, the glory in the first place redounds to you, for it is due to you that so many young men have left here equipped with a Catholic training and fortified with such ideals as could come only from one who has their best interests at heart. We know you love not praise, but, Right Reverend Bishop, we have no means of showing our gratitude other than expressing our thanks and appreciation in words, words that are but the echo of the sentiments of those who have preceded us. You are to us an inspiration, and your memory shall ever be a light, guid- ing us on our pathway through life. Our hope and prayer is that God may spare you to us for many years, and may the great Saint Andrew on this, the anniversary of your consecration day place our petition before the throne of Him you serve so well. ' THE ECHO . 17 In his response, Bishop Alerding thanked the faculty and students for their hearty congratulations and for their pleasant program. He recounted the difficulties that Were surmounted in the experi- mental days of the school, and expressed his sincere pleasure that the school is and has been so bene- ficial to so many young men. As for me, he declared, it is a mat- ter of gratification, for one is not human if he does not feel the-ef- fects of the success of an under- taking. Locals and Personals We wish to thank Father Quin- lan for the use of Library Hall this year again for our basketball games. ' In order to show our sympathy for the Irish cause we assisted in a body at the services at the Cathe- dral for Lord Mayor MacSwiney. As usual, the ring and pin sales- men stormed the school during the first few weeks of the year. As a result of the frequent visits of the best talker, the Seniors are now sporting a display of gold. Leslie Logan and Frank Doriot, star forwards on the basketball teams of '18 and '19, are making strong bids for positions on the Notre Dame varsity quintet. Herels wishing them success. The sphere of C. C. H. S. influ- ence is widening with time. This year Besancon, Hesse Cassel, Ar- cola, New Haven, Monroeville, Waterloo, Buffalo, N. Y., and hfifexico City, Mexico are represent- e . The latest addition to our li- brary is a thirty-volume set of that complete, up-to-date encyclopedia, The Americana. We Wish to extend our sincere thanks to our Right Reverend Bishop for the same. Robert Kelty, a junior of last year, is attending the high school at Hartford City where he now lives. While, Bob was with us his chief diversion was drawing car- toons. Most of those in the Echo are his ideas. By a happy coincidence, the first mass assisted at by the student body this year was celebrated by the Reverend Charles Girardot, '13, who received the first diploma given by the Central Catholic High School. Father Girardot is doing parish work in Michigan City. J. Stephan Weber, '13, was re- cently elected Cfrand Knight of the Fort Wayne K. of C's. The Knights are contemplating an extensive building program,-and Steve is the right man to see it through. Eugene Cull and Edmund Bres- nahan of the sophomores showed the way to the rest of the school in getting Echo subscribers. The two working in partnership got one hundred and twenty-five. Two of the C. C. H. S. men hon- ored at Notre Dame are Leslie Logan, ,19, who was elected presi- dent of the Sophomore Class, num- bering four hundred, and Clifford Ward, '19,who was made a mem- ber of the Students' Activity Com- mittee. The basketball court was made up-to-date by moving the back- boards out two feet from the sup- porting standards. Leo Suelzer, ,19,and George DeWald engineered the job. We wish to thank Leo Weber, '16, and the Knights of Columbus THE ECHO 19 for the interest they have taken in C. C. H. S. athletics. Recently Leo made a raid on his Brother Knights and collected a very ma- terial sum of money to help defray expenses on the school football uniforms. Five of the fourteen graduates in the Class of 1920 are now doing university work. Jerome Arnold, Richard Deininger, Emmett Mil- ler, and Gordon Conway are at Notre Dame, and William Gocke is at Purdue. Herman,Centlivre and Robert Blee also registered at Notre Dame, but crowded condi- tions there made it advisable for them to wait until next year. Twenty-five of the thirty mem- bers of the Senior Class went to Notre Dame to see the Purdue- Notre Dame football game. George DeWald and Bruff Cleary journey- ed also to Indianapolis to see N. D. beat Indiana. DeWald became so enthusiastic that he went to Chi- cago to see the Notre Dame-North- western game. We want to take this occasion to thank the young ladies of St. Aug- ustinels and St. Catherine's acad- emies for the enthusiastic support they showed the football team. In former years this support was al- ways in evidence, but never so prominently as this year. As a result, a large number of fellows in school have learned what en- couragement and support really is. Among the recent guests of the faculty and students we are happy to record the Right Reve end Bishop Legrand, C.S.C., Bishdp of the Diocese of Dacca, Bengal, East India, and Reverend Timothy Crowley, C. S. C., his Vicar Gbif- eralg Very Reverend Charles L. O'Donnell, C.S.C., Provincial of the United States Province of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Rev- erend Joseph Boyle, C.S.C., Super- ior of the Holy Cross Mission Band, Reverend William Bolger, C.S.C., Dean of the Economics Depart- ment of the University of Notre Dame, and Reverend John Mc- Carthy, our former professor of religion. Old students returning to school in September found several changes in the faculty. Brother Daniel, the genial principal who directed the work here for the past six years, was relieved of his responsibilities, and returned to us as professor of Latin and Spanish. He is succeed- ed by Brother Owen who has been teaching here for the past two years. Brother Edmund is now teaching at Holy Cross College, New Orleans, where he succeeded Brother Gilbert, who spent three years in the South before coming to Fort Wayne. Brother Augustus was transferred to the Cathedral High School, Indianapolis, Brother Killian taking his place here. Just when we thought all was settled, Father McCarthy was appointed to do parish work at Lafayette, and Father Dillon took his place as professor of religion. The depar- ture of Father McCarthy who had been with us for eight years was deeply felt by both faculty and students. All unite in wishing him success in his new work. A wise man is always ready to learn, an ignorant man imagines he is already well-informed. The wise are silent when fools ventilate their notions. 20 THE ECHO FHJ dl GI V JPJ53, SENIORS VVhen school started we were ushered into a room all by our- selves, and in that room we now hold full sway. We were told that as soon as we held a class election we could have free, whereupon Joe Mungovan, president of the class in our freshman year, ascended the platform and told us as only Joe can, whom to vote for and why. A majority succumbed to his un- resisting arguments, but nothing less than a unanimous vote would satisfy him, so a unanimous vote it was, and Don McDonald was made our president, Sub Miller, sec- retary, and George DeWald, treas- urer. After a week or so we decided that we ought to have rings and pins. lVe believed in patronizing home dealers, so we placed our order with a local jeweler, and we are very well satisfied with the results. Space will not permit a full record of our activities, but suffice it to say that we are backing all school doings. We are sponsoring the newly-formed Activity Asso- ciation, bearing the brunt of the Echo work, contributing more than half the members of the school football and basketball teams, while the Glee Club is composed entirely of members from our class. A thing we feel proud of is the fact that we are the largest Senior Class in the history of the school. That we are not satisfied merely with quantity may be gathered from this harangue of Haley: By all the laws and institutions we should now be stately seniors, as solemn and serene as the proverbial owl. To the contrary, however, we are the same bunch of happy-go- luckies that we were as freshmen. The mantle of our responsibility has neither deadened our spirits nor discouraged our endeavors. Nei- ther has it fallen on heedless shoulders, for back of all our seemingly heedless fun there is a different spirit from that devil- may-care one that pervaded us in past years. We realize our re- sponsibilities,and to the best of our ability are endeavoring to do them just-ice. There is a practical, clever gift here for anyone you desire to remember ....

We spent the morning cheating the sophomores on second-hand books and getting cheated by the seniors. Most of our former sophomore celebrities are back with us but we miss J auch, Deininger, Gerard, and Belot. Fitzgerald and Schif- fli are the only newcomers. A few days after school opened we organized for elections, and Clifford after a successful cam- paign became president and Kin- stle, secretary-treasurer. A short time ago Clifford resigned the presidential chair and since then the president's duties have fallen on Kinstle who is now overburd- ened with the three ofhces. At the first class meeting called we de- cided to get monograms in the shape of octagons just to remind us that we took geometry last year. We have been dispossessed of the room that we have occupied the last two years. It has been given to the seniors and we have been put in the former Senior Room. The old Sophomore Daily Squeek was reorganized and pub- lished under the new name of the Junior'S Jazzy J ournal' 'which was later replaced by the Junior VVorld . Some look down on us because we are the smallest class in the school, but we believe in quality, not quantity. SOPHOMORES Biff! Bang! Crash! Hurrah for the Sophomore Class! Twenty-nine of us returned in September, but we got several new ECHO . , additions making our total thirty- five. As for the new members, Mutt Rhinehart blew into C. C. H. S. with the September storm and bumped his head on the electric lights the first thing. Jeff Ryan hails from Lagro and is the midget of the class. Eugene Luley came from St. Mary's to yell for Cox butwesoonconvertedhim. Schiffli, commonly known as Goggles, .comes to us from Cleveland and gives silent speeches for Debs. MacCarthy and Clifford, seeing the pepperino!' of the class of '23, decided to stall a year to be with us. - A few days after school started we held class elections. There was not much campaigning, so at the primaries every member voted for himself for president. As a result when a count was taken thirty-five had tied for the office. The next best thing to do was to hold a con- vention, the outcome of which was that we had three candidates for each office. Buckshot Donahue, president of last year's class, was re-elected by a Harding majority. Cy Fitzgerald was elected secre- tary, and Windy McKiernan is our Croesus. Besides our basketball activities which will be recorded later, we organized a football team and after several hard try-outs we played the pick of the Freshmen Class. As they had Graf and Bushman -both semiprofessionals-we did not want to discourage the freshies and still we did not want to be wal- loped ourselves, we let the game go at a tie score of 13 to 13 in favor of both. Our class has five repre- sentatives on the school football team.

Last April Donahue, McKier- nan, and Perry organized a weekly paper called The Bull. Pro- fessor Wilkinson, our social lion, was later taken in on the staff as society reporter, and very few items of interest escape his eye and pad. Besides the class news, the Bull has a science section, a history column, a weekly poem, a story or two, and several jokes. Cartoons are added when space permits. We started something when we got our monograms. Six other classes on the Cathedral square followed suit. We needed luck and something with a kick in it. We got both in the form of a purple horse shoe with C. C. H. S., '23 in gold on a background of green. Purple and Gold are the school colors, and the antithetical green is our class color. As for pep, we are in the super- lative degree of it comparison. Pep, pepperino, peppisimo. We are the first in class spirit, Echo subscriptions, Echo ads, football, basketball, monograms, and school boosters. We contribute the school cheer leader, and have representa- tives in the orchestra and glee club. Anything in our hands is sure to succeed. We've got the kick and we've got the pep as is shown by the bill boards we are sporting. il? FRESHMEN VVhen the school year opened last September fifty grinning, care- free, yet nevertheless shivering ECHO freshmen came to C. C. H.. S. in quest of knowledge. ,We gathered on the broad, Calhoun Street en- trance, waiting for an encouraging invitation, but as none was forth- coming, we trooped around to the Lewis Street side and went, -in where everybody else did. Judg- ing from our capabilities, it is only reasonable to predict a successful four years' course for the freshmen of 1921. There are among us artists, musicians, and athletes. Although our attempts at art find expression only in cartoons and drawings in science class, still we think them worthy of recognition. No one, however, will dispute our ability as musicians and ath- letes. Charles Graf and Wayne Bushman are stars on the varsity football team, and John Burke, Harry Swift, Alfred Junk, John Martin, Emmett Holsinger, Clar- ence Kaliker and Raymond Herber are contributors to the instru- mental music. We have many other celebrities, but space .will not permit us to mention all of them. According to long standing cus- tom we chose class officers: Charles Graf was voted president, Eugene Shea, secretary, and Michael Ho- gan, treasurer. So far the burdens of their offices have caused no wrinkles in their brows. Someone hinted on the quiet that we are a little cheeky, but it didn't cause us a bit of worry. We consider ourselves the peppy little freshmen-and some of us are so very small-and we are quickly acquiring the old C. C. H. S. spirit. If we keep it up, we will bid fair to rival any preceding class. INSURE IN SURE INSURANCE 4 Eiaia :X E I I I wxlffymm f fgjlf CARL J.

The team played four games and lost every one of them. ln justice to the squad, however, it must be mentioned that this was our first year of football on a large scale, and we played teams with state championship aspirations. A late start in practice told against our athletes too. But the one great drawback of the varsity was the lack of a competent and heady field general. In spite of defeat, however, we think that the team stands favorable comparison with any that ever represented the school. In Tom Mungovan, Bush- man, and N eeb, we had ends who were fast, and sure tacklers. Rine- hart joined the squad towards the end of the season, and his work showed that he will be a valuable end next year. Sub Miller and Stephan were our tackles, and we consider it enough said when we mention that a rival coach pro- nounced them the best pair of tackles for their size that he had I rat, seen in a long time. Unfortunately Miller sustained an injury in the first game that put him out of play for the rest of the season, and as a result our line was greatly weak- ened. Suelzer also played a steady game at tackle when called upon. Graf, Gordon, Becker and in the first part of the season, Mills, were our guards, and during the season few gains were made by opponents through these positions. McDon- ald proved a whirlwind at center. His passing was always reliable, and on defense he was a veritable brick wall. Captain Koehl and Kramer at halves, and Clifford at full were our line plungers. Kramer was injured in the first contest of the season, and between games he hardly had time to get into fit con- dition, but he played in every game except the one with Decatur. Clif- ford also played tackle part of the time. Centlivre took Kramer's place at half, and judging by his speed and low hitting it is safe to venture that few lines will be able to stop him next year. Paul Miller also played half where his speed made him a valuable man.

Salesroom 124-132 West Washington Blvd. Phone 505 28 THE Donahue and Haley were our quarter-backs, and they did as Well as could be expected with the experience they had. Our one regret is that ten mem- bers of the team will not be with us next year. Stephan, S. Miller, Kramer, Haley, Mungovan, Mc- Donald, Gordon, Becker, N eeb, and P. Miller will graduate in June. The last six mentioned never play- ed football until this year, but their work was a feature of the season. The team had the support of the school throughout the year. The student body realized that any team can show fight when it is winning but to do the same in de- feat is something worthy of admi- ration. That the team played as good a brand of ball as it did is due largely to Mr. Robert Connelly, Dean of the K. of C. night school, who is a Wisconsin letter man in football and baseball, and who came out to coach the squad whenever his many duties permitted, and to Leslie Logan, ,19, who spent a week home from Notre Dame, and during that time devoted every afternoon to teaching the team something about the science of the game. Our peppy manager, Joe Mungovan, also deserves mention. Joe was back of the team every minute, and he took care that the season was a success financially. Games Our first game was with Fort Wayne High on October 28th. We lost by a score of 13 to 0. VVe met them so early only on condition that another game be played later on. After hearing various reports that we should expect a bad drub- ECHO - bing we weren't very much dis- appointed with the outcome. The game was played on a mud- dy field, partly covered with water. Fort Wayne High made its first score when Waterfield scooped in a pass and ran fifty yards for a touch- down. The second score was the result of an on-side kick, Richey falling on the ball while several C. C. men stood by looking at it. In the first quarter it looked like sure victory for us. The backfield made first downs time after time through big holes opened by our linemen, but we couldn't push across a marker. Our trip to Indianapolis where we played the Cathedral High will be remembered for some time. Royal describes the kind of treat- ment we received. In fact had we been shown less' consideration we might have played a better brand of ball. On our way back to Fort Wayne Brother William broke the news gently to us that while we showed plenty of fight, we put up a rather lifeless exhibition, and we gave ourselves away by describing the various places which we had vis- ited the preceding night, and all that we had eaten for dinner two hours before the game. We must say, however, that Cathedral High had a well-drilled, shifty team. The score was 18 to 2. In the last quarter we Hnally woke up, but the best we could do was to score a touch-back. ' Hartnett, who scored the three touchdowns for Indianapolis was the star performer of the day, while Koehl played a great game for us. We had the game with Decatur High School won until darkness interfered, and we lost 13 to 6.

The try at goal failed. In the growing dusk of the fourth quarter, Beel, the Decatur left end, crept unseen to the far side of the field, and receiving a long pass, carried the ball to our one-yard line. Cn the third at- tempt it was pushed across. The goal was kicked, making the score 7 to 6. The large search lights at one end of the field were then turned on, and with the glare in our eyes, it was hard to distinguish any- thing. Decatur had the advantage and succeeded in scoring another touchdown. The long punts of Graf ,kept us out of danger on several occasions. Bushman played a pretty game at end, nailing the receiver of Graf's punts before he had time to get started. Fort Wayne High defeated us again in our final game of the season, 7 to 0. The contest was, perhaps, the most bitterly fought game played on a Fort Wayne gridiron during the year, most of the play being in the middle of the field. In the last three minutes our opponents recovered the ball on our twenty-yard line when Centlivre fumbled, and following up this advantage pushed across a touchdown before the game ended.

Wanted: Someone in Physics class to figure out how much Cleary would weigh at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Joe Luley still plays the saxo- phone as well as he did last year. Do you remember the time when Eddie Kramer insisted on going riding instead of attending the party given to the basketball team last year at Lima? NVell, he at- tends Trier's three times a week now. It can't be in preparation for the Senior Dance which is still seven months away, but then Ed- die always was fast. The sophomores are such big fellows that people sometimes mis- take them for seniors. They have, however, labeled themselves with '23 monograms to avoid confusion. We noticed at a recent football game that C. C. H. S. yells were pretty popular with both Decatur H. S. and F. W. H. S. A tryout of the new boilers near- ly smoked out the seniors. Sub Miller slipped on a banana peel the other day and cut his finger on the crease of his trousers. Dickerson will donate a loving cup to the student who succeeds in getting Spanish abolished from the curriculum. The class of '24 were duly ini- tiated into the L. O. P. B. when school opened. The L.

Joe Striefus dines daily at the Summit City Restaurant. While there he does not drop a plate or miss a tip. Haley is regretting the fact that his boils deserted him. Never mind, Bill, they offered a con- venient excuse while they lasted. Gordon and Haley practiced the forward pass in the Senior Room, and that night they got their first experience in fitting in windows. Joe Mungovan stillthinks that he has a record for a beard. Pete Becker is giving him a close shave for honors. The seniors are insured sufficient heat this year. The boilers are just a few feet below them. Crops must have been good down on the farm during the sum- mer. Anyhow, Herber came back to us with a very prominent waist- line. There's many slip 'twixt the cup and the lip, and the same also ap- plies to the hand and the diploma. We'1'e hoping, however, for the best. Somebody's always takin' the joy out o' life. Now they've put in a perfectly good heating system, thereby cutting out all the free Mondays of the good ol' days. Becker is back with his old line, but it doesn't seem to have much effect. The catching of fish de- mands besides a line, a hook and once in a while a change of bait. Much depends on the skill of the fisherman, too. Much can happen in four months. The last time we heard of our old class-mate, P. N. Grime, who occupied so much space in this ECHO column last year, he was in Mexico. We are anxiously watching the papers for news of new revolu- tions. Fine place for Paulg he can start anything, he pleases down there. The seniors are supposed to be examples to the juniors, the juniors to the sophs, the sophs to the fresh- men, but to what class are the freshies an example? To the whole school, they say. If the Democrats would have had Aeneas on the platform for them they surely would have won the election. The seniors think so, anyway. Why, he spoke for a week one time. Ask Haley about his flying tackle at Indianapolis, and McDonald about finger bowls. Bruff Cleary is pretty good at learning the rules of football, bask- etball, and baseball, but it is just about impossible for him to learn the rules of Spanish. Gordon has ambitions of becom- ing a doctor, hence he takes Vergil very seriously. Neeb and Becker had a debate at Schulte's some time ago. Neither of them was very boastful about it so it must have been a draw. Jack Fox didn't take to the Sophomore Room at all when the seniors took up quarters there. The desks don't make sleeping as comfortable as those in the study hall did. Herber leaves out this scheme for getting rabbits: paint the side of the stump like the hole of a rabbits nest. Scare the rabbit so he will run to said counterfeit hole and crush his skull. Some fellows think Sub Miller and Jake Miller are brothers the way they act toward each other.

To whom it may concern: Mc- Donald wants it plainly under- stood that his name is not Mug- Donald. G. DeWald says that the auto- mobile he intends to make will go so fast that when he leaves California for New York he will have to put on the brakes at Chicago to stop at Broadway and Fifth Avenue. Bruff Cleary had his tonsils re- moved, but evidently he lost none of his bulk from the effects of the operation. Berning has all the neighbors on Madison Street in a state of ner- vous excitement since he got a mandolin. Haley is with us almost every day, and he says that he has a new hat coming if he doesn't miss too much. But he did not say what he considers too much. Pete Becker, a native of New Haven, who sits with Gob Boland tells us some funny things about his childhood days. In fact, quite a few of the things that Pete tells us sound sort of funny. Creigh, App, and Boland are going to be bookkeepers judging by the way they soak up the knowledge in the class. DeWald thought very hard when someone told him that they didn't use elevators in New York, but safety razors Craisersl. A certain senior in bookkeeping class defined f'property as any- thing that may be bought or ex- posed of, whether material or im- material. ECHO Someone said that the freshmen were cheeky. They may be fresh, but they have the school spirit be- sides. Gordon says that he caught such a big fish at the lake this summer that the water went down four inches after the fish was landed. I'll bet that the fellow who de- signed the sophomore monograms got a headache over the idea. It looks as if there is at least one genius in the school. Rest easy, Seniors 5 Micky al- ways can console you with his pleasant They're coming. Passino says that the dogs bark so much when Conway plays -his mandolin not for the purpose of accompanying him, but because they hear better than men. Gordon wants his hair to grow. He puts something on it every day. It's his hat. Becker is as hard as ever, getting harder right along in fact. In a football uniform he looks like a brick. Most fellows wish they had taken bookkeeping a long time ago so they could blow in as Ed Baker is accustomed to do. The pictures of the graduates have recently been removed to the Senior Room. No doubt this was done in order to inspire us to strive harder when we look on the benign countenances of those who have already realized their ambition. When it comes to self-sacrifice, the palm goes to J oe Striefus. Joe missed one school activity, and that was the day he worked for Kramer so that Eddie could be on hand to play in the F. W. H. S.- C. C H. S. football game. .

Father Pierre Gibault There was much confusion and consternation in the little town of Kaskaskia on July 4th, 1778, when General George R o g e r s Clark with his small company of Ameri- can soldiers entered it. So terri- fied was the handful of French Catholics who composed the pop- ulation of the town, that they im- mediately began to pack their be- departure. Due to the intrigues of the British, these settlers were prejudiced against the American cause, and Clark meant no more to them th an an inevitable tyrant, whose soldiers had come to oc- cupy their h o m e s and break up their families. But there was one p e r s o n, Father Pierre Gibault, in the vil- lage who understood the Ameri- can situation. It was because of the tender ties that had sprung up between this parish priest of Kas- kaskia and the settlers that he was able to persuade them to abandon their preparations for departure, and to send a committee to Mr. Clark in order to ascertain his at- titude towards them. The general realized that unless the villagers could in some way be made to un- derstand his reason for being there serious trouble might arise which would h a m p e r his plans. He thought of the possibility of lind- ing one or two influential citizens who could calm the riotous pop- ulace. While interviewing the committee which the settlers had sent the morning following his ar- rival, Clark found his man. He was no other than Father Gibault, a French missionary, and at that time, parish priest of Kaskaskia. When Father Gibault met the conqueror, he inquired whether 4 THE the Catholic c h u r c h could be opened. General Clark replied that an American commander had nothing to do with any church save to defend it from insult, and that by the laws of Virginia his QFather C1ibault'sj religion had as great privileges as any otherf' From that time, writes Theodore Roosevelt in his The Winning of the West, Father Cvibault 'fwas a devoted and effective champion of the American cause. From that time, too, the priest and the general worked hand in hand, and, after the inhabitants of the French village had been made aware of the t r e a t y between France and the colonies, finally won the people to the support of the United States. This was the first ste p in the winning of the VVest. Father Cvibault went so far as to sell his property in Kaskas- kia for American currency in or- der to establish the credit of the invaders in that part of the coun- try. These bills afterwards proved worthless as fa r as purchasing power was concerned, but they did much to help the colonies in their noble struggle. A short time late r Clark de- cided to send troops to Vincennes to convert that place to the Ameri- can cause. And here again, the powerful influence of Father Gi- bault triumphed when he obtained Clark's consent for himself and Father La Font to go to Vincennes to accomplish that end. Before two months were over the ener- getic priest completely won the citizens to the s u p p o rt of the United States, revived religious practices in the community, and converted a Presbyterian family to ECHO the Catholic Faith. But Father Cvibault, who was man who did things thoroughly was not satisfied with having th settlers merely passive onlooker or silent supporters. With the ai: of the young ladies of Vincenne he began to do expert work at re cruiting. He persuaded many dar ing young Frenchmen to enlist ii Clark's c o m p a n y, the ranks o which had been sadly depleted be cause many of the soldiers had re turned to their homes when thei term of enlistment had expired Thus it was that the zealous mis sionary labored unceasingly in thi interest of church and Sta t e, ac complishing great things, until thi people Hnally came to know hin as the Upatriot priestf, Father Gibault reached the Illi nois country in 1769, at the age o thirty-two, and until his death ii ISO4, he traveled extensively ove. the Western states, influencing tht inhabitants to recognize the au thority of the colonies, and to be lieve in the true religion. Afteg a life of many hardships, he re tired to the Spanish territory be yond the Mississippi, since his pei tition to the government for z grant of five a c r e s of land hat been disregarded. There he livet peacefully the few remaining years of his life. To him, next to Cla rk and Vigof' says Judge John Law, thc United States are more indebteo for the accession of the states com prised in wh a t was the origina Northwestern Terr'to th t any other man. Blutfistranagle t say there was never a man in al history who accomplished work sa great and so effective as Fathe THE ECHO 5 Gibault had, and who yet received so little recognition of it. No county, town or post office bears his name, no monument has been erected to his m e m o r y, no headstone marks the grave fthe lo- cation of which is unfortunately not knownj of that zealous mis- sionary, the effects of whose work We are enjoying to d ay. At the present time, however, there is a movement on foot in this state that will preserve the memory of the patriot priest. The State Coun- cil of the Knights of Columbus in- tends to establish in the near fu- ture the Gibault Home, an in- stitution for wayward Catholic boys. It will be but a Htting tri- bute to him who was always ready to make the most of opportunities for greater s e r vi c e of God and Country. -Herbert Conway, 321. My Pony I had a little pony once, His name was Ima Helpg He helped to prove that I'm a dunce So now I call him Whelp. He stalled into my pocket last Examination day, One look into the feed-box cast And then I turned away. I tried to use him only once And then the crisis came. The teacher said he spied a dunce, And called out Kinderls name. The strong hand of the teacher Led pony from exam, I cannot tell what Brother said-, Ch, what a fool I am. -M. Kinder, '23. A Near Tragedy The wind howled. The snow fell furiously. A flake landed in his eye. He instinctively raised a hand, and immediately dropped th r e e packages. He muttered something under his breath. He trampled on something under his foot. He gazed down. There lay three parcels. One of them was smashed flat. He grumbled some- thing. It sounded like, Now, whatlll she say? He picked up the three packages, tried to repair the broken on e and at the same time dropped a n o t h e r. There came a faint tinkle of broken glass. He cast his eyes downward, mut- tered something indistinct, and kicked the package into the street. Done with that one, he said. With both arms embracing the numerous bundles he struggled across the street. There was an ugly look on his ,face that boded ill to someone. He leaned against a lamp post and clutched the pack- ages fiercely. The street car that he was wait- ing for came along. With great difficulty he boarded it. With greater difficulty together with dropping a few parcels, he paid his fare. A small boy deposited the dropped portions of his bur- den in his arms, and he beamed a look of thanks over the top of his load. Slowly he made his way to a seat and very s lowly sat down. Carefully he held on to the mass of things and waited with an air of resignation for his stop. It came. He clambered off success- fully, was narrowly missed by an automobile, and then yelled to an urchin, A dime if you help me 6 THE ECHO . V home. The lad was willing, even eager, and H n al ly they reached their goal. The man opened the door of his home, the small boy followed, and together they drop- ped the purchases on the floo r. The manls wife entered the room and said beamingly, Oh, Henry, I've just sent John after you with the car. -F. A. On Making Excuses You've h e a rd and given all kinds of excuses during your life. Some were go o dg others not so good. Some you have believed, others you couldn't credit unless you were brainless. A good ex- cuse is admired, but it takes a per- son with a great deal of wit and imagination to put it over. Orig- inality is as essential to the excuse- m a ke r as it is to the comedian. Both are in the same class. Some- times much depends on an excuse, as in the case of a sailor who re- turned to his ship some minutes over-leave. When brought before the 'fSkipper and asked the rea- son for his delay, he replied in a most dignified m a n n e r: USir, while I was hurrying back to the ship, a parade passed by, and the band commenced p l a y i n g The Star Spangled Banner. While I stood at attention the car pulled out for the Navy Yard and I had to wait an hour for the next one. The Old lX4an reflected a few moments, and then replied, Well, I've heard better o n e s, but that excuse will save you a few days on white wine and angel food. -M. B. The Return The water was becoming rough along the rocky coast line. The threatening clouds were scurrying faster and faster. A strong wind was sweeping off the sea, carrying with it the promise of rough weather. The Hshermen were coming in, for it was apparent to their trained senses that a storm was brewing. One of them slowly approached a rocky cave, carefully steered his dory through the maze of ,rocks projecting from the shallow water until the boat was grounded. He jumped out, splashed through the surf, and dragged the skiff high on shore, fastening it to a large rock evidently used for th at purpose. It could now be seen that he was a man along in years. He removed the nets and other Hshing paraphernalia fro m the boat, and tramped o ve r the wet sand of the beach to a shack shel- tered in the lee of a rocky ledge. As he drew near, his wife opened the door and greeted him with the words, Any news of John, Lem P f'Not m u c h, was his answer. Met Amos out beyond the reef. He said he was over to the harbor day 'fore yesterday and that the Niles was overdue then Hve days. He heard there'd been quite a blow, so I s'pose thatls what held it up. With these words the two went inside. Within it was cosy and warm. Outside the win d was stiffening and blowing in cold from the sea. It was becoming d a rk, and the storm was growing in violence. A cold rain was falling and freezing to sleet. The dull roaring of the surf increased, and now and then - THE ie Waves would rush up on the lore and throw a chill mist over ie little cabin. They lighted the lamp, illumi- lting the interior. A stove stood . the center of the room. At one id was a rough, wooden table, at .e other were three rude chairs. long one side was a wide shelf ld a small cupboard containing meagre stock of dishes. On the her side was built a small exten- Jn to the building, containing ro bunks. The woman was now preparing pper. The lisherman had taken 3 a torn net and was deftly re- tiring its broken meshes. Not a Jrd was spoken by either, and e silence was unbroken save for e rattle of the sleet as it struck e solitary window, and the rieking of the wind as it swept ound the corner of their home. When the supper was ready the 'o drew chairs up to the table, d the fisherman offered a pray- . Nothing els e was said, and e two ate for a while in silence. was evident that something was :ighing on their minds. Finally e woman spoke. Gur son sure- didn't dock yesterday, Lem, for would have been home by now.

Fhe storm was now at the height its fury. The driving rain and ECHO 7 sleet lashed the building, the wind moaned mournfully, accompanied all the while by the booming of the waves as they rushed up the shore and broke into spray at the foot of the ledge. Y Now and then the woman would lay her work aside and go to the window and peer through the icy coating into the darkness beyond. Usually she returned to her chair with a sigh, but this time she did not. HLem, I believe that I just saw a rocket, she said. The man excitedly arose from his place, W e nt to the shelf and took down a telescope. He donned his oilskins, and opening the door, strode out into the elements with the glass under his arm. Raising it to his eye he g a Z e d long and steadily, and then apparently sat- isfied, returned to the warm inter- ior. Yes, he said brieliy, it's on the reef. I s'pose the life crew from Pokeshaven will try to. reach them. But it'll be a miracle if they make it,l' he added quickly, 'feverything's against themfl He returned to his task but his wife remained at the window for nearly an hour. Then she spoke. I haven't seen a rocket for a long time now. M a yb e they went down. p Mebbe, was his terse reply. She began to cry. That might be John's ship, she remarked. Several hours later both were aroused from their slumbers by a vigorous knocking on the door. The man a rose and opened it. There burst in upon him the full force of the storm and with it two members of the life guard. Be- tween them they supported a drip- ping Hgure which they carried in 8 TH '17 ECHO s . and laid on the floor. The woman appeared and she fell on her knees beside the body. She turned over the head, and as she saw the fea- tures she uttered a shrill cry of f'My boy. The two members of the life crew left to revisit their post and, to render aid to whom- ever they could. Meanwhile the two Hsher-folk worked furiously to revive their son. At last his regular breath- ing showed that he was coming to, and soon he opened his eyes. UI knew that John would come home for his birthday, the mother said to her husband. -Florian Arnold, 721. A Mountain Cold and still, bound in snow Where gaunt trees rise in endless row, And the wind at the peak sings a lasting psalm' T While ove r all hangs a strange, strange calm. Far removed from the haunts of man It stands and has stood since the world began, Hidden and cloaked by the whirl- ing snow Falling to drift in the valley be- low.

He glanced at his .ckle-plated time-piece, adjusted is last summer's panama hat, and arted walking. 'fLate again,'l he iused. Why was it that there was .ways this h u r r y, this invisible and pushing men like himself on- 'ard, onward through the daily Jutine, only to find at dusk that ley not only had not gained any- iing, but that they had slid back 1 the race of life? Now he must D.to.that infernal office to slave fer huge books, and all for what?

At the club he would s h o ot a few games of pool, play a few hands of rhum, and then at exactly eleven olclock he would open the door of his apartment, enter, lock the door a gain and retire. He gritted his teeth as he thought of the monotony of it all. If he could only break away from it. Each summer he took his wife with him and stayed at the beach for a week. But he had gone there so m a n y consecutive sum- mers that the roa r of the surf waves sounded lik e distant rum- bling jargon in his ears. He was a failure-in life. He labored not for his own profit, or even with in- terest. He worked to live, to main- tain a dreary existence. He found no way to better his condition. In shore, he was in a rut, without a th o u g h t, an idea, an ambition which would change his position. lXlrs. Lawless embodied all the at- tributes of a good wife. She was consistent, she taught him to save, she was a cheerful companion-in short she took care of him. But he did not want that. He wanted to be thrown into the world with no cares, but with many ambitions. Curse it all! Why wasn't his wife capable of firing him with ambi- tions, with inspirations that would help him to b rin g into use the qualities that he possessed? That evening at Hve-thirty he boarded an e x p r e s s bound for home. Soon he was turning the knob on his apartment door. He called for his wife. The usual Yes, dear,'l was not forthcoming. He wondered. Then his glance 10 THE fell on the small telephone stand. Propped a g a i n s t the telephone was a sheet of white note paper. Eagerly he picked it up. 'fDear Bill, it read, Please forgive me, but I can't continue as we have been doing. I have left for the good of us both. Elsa. With a shout of delight he tossed the paper into the air, and jumped from the floor. Immedi- ately his brain, formerly so inac- tive, began to formulate plans for the future. The first step, he de- cided, would be to enjoy the even- ing. But where? He went down to the club, as a matter of course, picked up a friend, and together they took in The Follies. With a light heart he slept that night, and when the rays of light silently stole through the windows he awoke to what he thought was the beginning of a new era in his life. After dressing hurriedly he picked up the receiver of the telephone and made his firm aware of the fact that he had quit his job. The next thing in order was to see the landlord to cancel his lease on the apartment. He found out, how- ever, that this could not be done until the end of the month. He then went to the bank and drew out the paltry sum that represent- ed five years' savings. His warped mentality c a l le d for a change. The Beach! As a starting point, he would take a week's rest at the seashore. That evening he registered at the Seaside Inn,'l the most fash- ionable resort of the season. This he confidently hoped was the be- ginning of one of the wildest vaca- tions he had ever spent. But as the end of the week drew near he ECHO found that he was tiring of it 2 The hum of social life was 1 much for him. He woke up the mornings with splitting hez aches, results of night spent in ra elry. When his room engagem4 had run out he was glad to take car for the city. As he turned the key in the dc of his apartment, he was surpris to smell the odor of cooking for stuffs. As he opened the door, was greeted by his wife, who I tween sobs of joy and sorrow tc him how glad she was to see h back, and entreated him to live 1 old life over again. I'm willing,'l he answered. -Herbert Conway, ' - Success If one wishes to succeed he m be well acquainted with the S1 cess Family.

Words Does anyone realize the value and significance of th o s e little parts of speech which we encoun- ter in speaking, reading and writ- ing? The ordinary person takes them as a matter of course, merely as a means of making himself un- derstood, and d o es not compre- hend their true value. If one would stop to consider their worth he would treasure th em, for in theirqwide significance they are, in the h a n d s of a word-lover, a mightier weapon than the sword. In the great orator words be- come lasting testimonials of his eloquence. In the lawyer they be- come either convincing proof of innocence, or degrading evidence of guilt. In the judge they are either a fountain of hope or a source of despair. In the national oflicials they affect the rise or the fall of national prosperity. In the minister of God th e y become a bulwark of Christianity. In the hands of anyone who realizes their worth and uses them to their best advantage and strongest meaning they are s o u r c e s of strength on every occasion. -R. N. Abraham Lincoln Looking down the ages, we find written on the pages of the history of every nation n ames of great men raised up to guide their coun- try or their people through dis- tressing times. In our land, when things looked darkest for the Re- public, wh e n the clouds of war were hanging over the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf to the Great Lakes, when one-half of the states was ready to destroy the o t h e r half, there was held in waiting Abra- ham Lincoln to guide us through the greatest crisis since the Revo- lution. A simple, unaffected, self- educated man, Lincoln rose to the highest position in the land, and can deservedly be set up as a true example of noble American man- hood. During the years that he steered our ship t h r o u g h the roughest storm of its national eX- istence, the nobility of his charac- ter was manifested in every deed. He was a man quick in forgiving, but long in chastising. Many a poor wretch owed his life to the mercy of Lincoln, and m any a mother's heart was gladdened by his sympathetic words. Well is he called The Second Christ of the Negroes, s i n c e he sacrificed all for his principles, and resolutely adhered to the right, though event- ually it cost him his life.

PVaslzington---February twenty- second recalls to our minds the name of the immortal Washing- ton.. Every true American is fa- miliar with the life, the endeavors, and the achievements of the great general ofthe Revolution, and it is but Fitting that the nation show its appreciation for his efforts by pay- ing him tribute and keeping sacred his memory. The name of Washingtoii should be an inspira- tion to every loyal American. From his life we can learn lessons of sacrifice, courage and patri- otism, a few of the virtues that were moulded in the moral prin- ciples that went to make up the character of him who Was, First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. -H. C. Higlzer Education ---- The eXist- ing aversion among many gram- mar school students to further ed- ucation is one of the greatest evils of the country. The prevalent idea is that as long as a boy or girl, as the case may be, has a Working knowledge of the elementary sub- jects no further progress is neces- sary. Years ago when a high school student was a ram anis, and a col- lege education was undreamed of, THE ECHO 13 save by a chosen few, such a con- dition of affairs was reasonable. But now when e v e r y profession and every business is dominated by keen, university-trained minds, it is a rare thing for one who is not so well educated to forge far ahead in any endeavor. An outcome of these conditions is that many yo u n g men gifted with natural talents and ability are lost forever, buried in some work shop, forced to be content with crumbs, when with an educa- tion the best positions in the land would not have been too good for them. Too late do they see their mistake, and having natural think- ing ability they turn to socialism as an outlet for their discontent. They see about th e m boys, per- haps th ei r former companions, who, though of mediocre ability, have forged to the front because of an education. Ultimately car- ried away by their discontent, they ally themselves with Bolshevistic organizations and d e v o t e their lives to outrageous proceedings. , HR. N. Procrastination---Progress in our studies is our chief object in com- ing to school. We like to think that we are advancing, going for- ward in our work, that our stock of knowledge is greater now than it was a yea r ago, that we are more capable, and better adapted to make our own way in life after this last year of study. We know, all of us, that study, hard, self-sacrificing study is the only way we have of learning our lessons. To have knowledge, like all other things, we must work for it. Yet few of us are willing to devote to study the time that we should. We put it off to a future time, an easier time, the vague to- morrow. There are some who are study- ing, who are fo r g i n g forward, climbing toward the summit, the goal of knowledge. To know, to be sure-that is their aim, and to attain it they study. The world is going on. Those who study are keeping up with it, those who pro- crastinate are falling behind. -J. L. Rabid Religious Radicals ---- A short time ago nearly all the newspapers w e r e Hlled with re- ports concerning a movement to force the adoption of a Federal Constitutional Amendment com- pelling nation-wide Sabbath ob- servance. Many of t h o s e who were active in the movement were listed as well known Prohibition- ists. Others were only profession- al reformers of no standing. The Lord's Day Alliance which took the leadership in the movement stated that it was not its object to enact a law compelling one to at- tend church, but it was its belief that should theatres, s p o r t s, to- gether with the driving of cars be stopped on Sunday, and a strict censorship be placed on the news- papers the p eo p le as a result would go to church. Naturally anything of this sort helps to drive out religion rather than instil it into the hearts of the people. Sunday is a day of rest and should be spent as determined by the individual and the religion to which he belongs, and not by persons who have nothing better to do than endeavor to reform their neighbors to the neglect of their 14 THE own spiritual advancement. No doubt many newspapers ex- aggerated their reports of the ac- tivities of this collusion of narrow- minded individuals whose efforts may be summed up as a well meant but misguided ambition to rise to prominence. -J. S. Drifting ---- Gne of the tenden- cies of the present day is to move about from one thing to another. Those who are addicted to this no- madic spirit drift from place to place, from one occupation to an- other, never satisfied, never happy. Some of the nomads of this new order may have a definite goal in sight when they start, but this is soon lost in their wanderings, and they flounder about s til l discon- tented. Let us not imbibe of this drifting spirit. Some of us, when our four years of high school are over may wish to get away for a while from school and studies. We may not have our minds definitely made up as to what pursuit' we shall follow, we may be uncertain of our calling. If these sentiments dominate us there is a strong prob- ability that we will join the class that drifts and that in the end ac- complishes nothing. Now in our high school days is the time to lay the foundation upon which our future is to be built, and to become certain of our life's work, for in uncertainty there is doubt and in doubt there is ruin. -P. B. The pessimist can see nothing but the mist, while the optimist can see through it. ECHO ROBERT CRANSTON Faculty and s t u d e n t s were shocked on Thursday, December Q, at the sad news of the death of Robert Cranston, a member of the Junior class, who died suddenly on that morning of neuralgia of the heart. Robert had been ill for a few weeks, but his illness was not considered serious and it was thought that he had fully recov- ered, in fact he intended to return to school the day before his death, but he was advised to wait a few days longer. During the two years that Rob- ert attended the High School he was one of the most studious and best-liked boys in the school. Though of a quiet and retired dis- position, he was, nevertheless, the most r e a d y and foremost in all school activities. His calm and unassuming nature endeared him l 1 V THE ECHO 15 to everyone, and though his death was a blow to all, we feel sure that he has received the reward prom- ised to the faithful servant. The funeral, which was 'held from the Church of the Precious Blood, was attended by theustudent body, who will frequently remem- ber in prayer the soul of their de- parted companion. Faculty and students e x t e n d to the bereaved relatives their sincere and prayer- ful sympathy. ' Monogram Sweaters just before the holidays the Ac- tivity Association held its regular monthly meeting. The entertain- ment was postponed, but during the meeting monogram sweaters were given to the members of the football team, and the basketball suits Were distributed to those who made the basketball team. Those who received their letters are the following: Koehl, J. Mungo- Van, D. B4cDonald, R. Gordon, T. Mungovan, R. Stephan, E. Kram- er, S. lWiller, P. lX1iller, R. Neeb, A. Becker, P. Donahue, A. Cent- livre, R. Rinehart, R. Suelzer, J. Clifford, C. Graf, and W. Bush- man. . - Alumni Support It has often been said that the Alumni of the school are a rather lifeless organization, but we had ample proof during the holidays that there are many live wires among you. Leo Suelzer, 719, took the business end of the Alumni game into his own h ands, and mailed tickets to every alumnus in town. As a general rule, all re- sponded. In many cases the old boys didn't sell the tickets, but they brought the price. As a re- sult of their efforts a check of sev- enty-five dollars was presented to the athletic fund as a starting point for football activities next fall. ' A Word of Thanks From the opening of the school year there was talk of installing shower baths for the use of the various athletic teams, but it was not until the Christmas vacation that something definite was done. The showers were put in at a cost of more than two hundred dollars, and in order that the athletic fund might not be completely exhaust- ed the following friends of the school contributed generously to- wards the cause: Miss Sadie Fleming, Messrs. joseph Miller, Timothy Foohey, Harry Hogan, William O'Rourke, A. C. Aur- entz, F r a n k Gilmartin, Byron Hayes, Wm. P. Breen, P. J. lX1c- Donald, lXlaurice Niezer, Charles Niezer, William Noll and Charles Nolan. Students? Entertainment It is indubitable that we owe a monument, if not of b r o n z e or onyx, then at least of gratitude and praise to President Patrick Dono- hue, who, with his cordon of effi- cient co-laborers of the Sopho- more class, is responsible for the first under-graduate play. f'The hlillionaire Janitorf' a comedy in two acts, by Seymour S. Tibbals, is especially a d a p t e d to high school pupils. By a careful selec- tion of characters, the play proved a great success with the audience. As usual, the orchestra furnished the music. The selections which 16 THE were most popular were The Japanese Sandman and 'fMargie. ' The Students' Activity Associ- ation, under w h o s e auspices the January program was given, is grateful to the young entertainers, and h av e expressed a desire for more such hours in the future. VVe haven't s p a c e to mention anything save the grace and dig- nity of Pat Donahue, and the Dutch h i g h n e s s of Norbert Koehl. Of course there was Ed- mund Bresnahan with bells on in the noise and punching scene, and Eugene Wilkinson showed him- self a perfect doll. All in all it was a memorable success, even if Cull and lN1cEvoy were unavoid- ably restrained fro m telling the joke about Koehl's make-up.

Many of them spoke about h av i n g a real live Alumni meeting this june. How about it? Brother Leonard, C. S. C., who is none other than the genial Joe Zuber, '19, is now in Dujarie In- stitute, the House of Studies of the B r oth e r s of Holy Cross. Brother Leonard is anxious for his four years of study to be over to begin his life work. Gordon Kelly, '18, is very im- portant these days. According to reports, he's running the Ross Col- lege of Chiropractic Wh i l e Dr. Ross is attending the State Legis- lature. Myron Parrott, student in ,IO- 11-12, is now in England doing journalistic work in the fiction de- partment of the L o n d o n Daily News. Recently the N ew s and Sentinel under the heading Fort Wayne Boys Who H ave blade Good Away From Home, ran a column about his work. Besides th e Sophomores, the team had at least one rooter when it played at Indianapolis. Rich- ard App was there, and we bet that Dick made himself heard. Jerry Miller, '13, has charge of the printing of the Echo. jerry as secretary-t r e a s u r e r of the Superior Typesetting Co., is the whole works of that establishment. and sees to it that the job is .done right.

Brother E X u p e r e, C. S. C., whom so m an y old students re- member as an ideal teacher, writes from France that he is still at his favorite work. Brother Exupere is teaching in a n o r m al school, preparing Catholic teachers to take government degrees. Rev. John lWcCarthy, our form- er professor of religion, recently paid the faculty a visit to talk over old times. Father lNdcCarthy, who is now pastor of St. Ann's Church, Lafayette, reported th at he had the happiness of receiving Ralph Blume, '18, into the C h u r c h. Ralph is a sophomore at Purdue University. Bruff Cleary is getting a great deal of publicity th r o u g h the sporting c o l u m n s these days. Bruff's name is among the list of certified referees in Spalding's Basketball Guide. One paper in a nearby town went so far as to compare him while in action on a basketball court, to Billy Sunday. Emmett Rohyans, '14, is one of the most enthusiastic and devoted supporters that the C. C. H. S. athletic teams have. Emmett is on hand for eve ry game, and his words of advice and encourage- ment mean much to the team. The Rector of th e Cathedral, Rev. John R. Quinlan, helped us along in our Mission basketball game by making an announcement at all of the masses on the Sunday before the game, urging the peo- ple of the Cathedral Parish to buy tickets. We wish to thank Father Quinlan for his interest in our an- nual contest for the benefit of the ECHO I Holy Cross Mission in Bengal. At l e a s t one of our graduates will witness the inaugural celebra- tion next month. Frank Wyss, C. S. C., '14, is now pursuing his theological studies at the Catholic University, Washington, D. C. Among the many supporters that the basketball team has, Fathers Dillon, Fitzgerald and Fallon de- serve special mention. They, to- gether with Brother William and Leo Suelzer, ,IQ, got together on two occasions to play the varsity. The Clerical team, as they called themselves won both games by the narrow margin of three points. Ensign Leon J. Baker, '14, now stationed at Port Key Washington, the Pacific Torpedo Station, is the latest C. C. H. S. graduate to join the benedicts. Leon was married to hfiss Martha Berghoff of this city, in S e a t t l e, February 5th. Congratulations and best wishes. According to rep o rts from Notre Dame, Aaron Hugunard, '18, is as studious and industrious as ever. Recently Aaron was ap- pointed to be a reporter on the Notre D a m e University L a W Quarterly. We wish to thank Leo Suelzer, '19, for his interest in the basket- ball team. Leo is around at all the games and his presence adds a lot of Hght to the team. He had charge of the squad when it trav- eled to Qssian and Indianapolis, and on bo th occasions the team was victorious. VVhen the manuscript of the Echo was sent to the printer we were not in a position to give a full a c c o u nt of the proceeds of the Mission game, as all tickets were not in at that time. 1 4 TOD'S TWO STQRES For Srnart Hats, Caps, and lVlen's Furnishings 1921 STYLES 1914 PRICES So go to TOD'S 814 and 1009 Calhoun St. More Than Thirty Years Successful me A Q W f Business College 120 West Jefferson St., Fort Wayne, Ind. has specialized in preparing young people for Business oppor- tunity-anct then, in giving them THE Opportunity!

Well, the last time you heard of us, 'o'n'e.of our classmates tried to ruin our reputation by giving you our history, but it is needless to say that he gave you only a shal- low idea of us. We can't tell too much now because we intend to give a full account of ourselves in the graduation number. Right now we are in a quan- daryg nothing happens, nothing seems to h a p p e n, and nothing seems to be going to happen. Cf course there was the walk-out a month ago that was a fa i l u r e Cthose who remember the Fo rt Wayne High game know the rea- son for the threatened walk-outl, but it caused a good bit of excite- ment. Thanks to Logic Class, we saw our mistake before it was too late. Only a few-not to mention any n a m e s-who come late for class r a t h e 1' frequently couldn't reason as well as the rest of us, and consequently were at a loss what to do. Just now we are a little uneasy about one thing, and that is the annual banquet t h a t the Juniors give to the Seniors. Someone said that judging by the size, we won't say ambitions, of the Junior Class, we can e X p e c t our f'feed at a Wiener stand. Our class now numbers twenty- seven. Bill Haley and Ken Logan couldn't hold on any longer, and consequently fell by the wayside.

Cicero has a strong hold on us, as we are infected by his first two orations, and we are wondering that if the writing of them affected him as much as the translation did us how he ever sur- vived to write more than two. We are sorry he did. Our room has been Hooded with class papers, since Fields' greatest ambition is to be a noted editor. We have our doubts as to whether or not he will succeed, as he has already tried to publish four pa- pers, each one of wh i ch was a failure. We wish to correct the statement made in the last num- ber of the Echo that the 'fjunior's Jazzy Journal had given way to the Junior VVorld. The Junior World n e v e r was published but the jazzy Journal makes its ap- pearance e a c h VVednesday with its regular news features. Some of our members are be- coming famous. Schiffli has de- veloped a mania for S p a n i s hg Koehl and lXIills for Commercial Arithmetic, while Dickerson stars in all classes. Mills as the new class president adds much weight to his arguments. Foohey's month- ly oration is, UFriends, Juniors, Classmates, pay me your coin. SOPHOMORES Sophomore n o t e s don't mean music, but there are charms about us all the same. We are the only class in school that has suffered no detections so far. VVe must not toot our horn too loud for we nearly lost Burt Rossington when he started a riot by wearing his new s we a t e r to school. The ECHO prompt action of certain members of the faculty luckily saved poor Burt's life. ' When Brother William made it known that he would like to in- stall s h o w e r s, Mcliiernan and Donahue hustled about and fou-nd a good number of lo y al friends who gladly helped defray part of the expenses. Speaking of getting around, Eugene Cull has worn out a couple pair of shoes doing Echo work, while the whole class tried to do its level best to sell tickets for the Bengal lN4ission game. Although our basketball activi- ties are recorded elsewhere, we must remark here that we have one of the fastest c'l a s s aggrega- tions in the city-if not in the whole state. Of our victories, we are especially proud of our put- ting it all over the local Senior class, the Indianapolis C. H. S. Juniors, the F. W. H. S. Sec- onds and the C. C. noisy Fresh- men. Rinehart represents our class on the Varsity team, and if dope works out, all we'll have to do is join C a p t a i n Koehl and change our name to that of var- sity next year.

C. H. S. basketball team. Eddie Kramer and f'Sub lX1iller were out of the game indefinitely d u e to injuries received in football, but there was plenty of material on hand to fill their places. The one thing, how- ever that made the outlook bright- est was the fact that Brother Wil- liam secured Ralph Miller, third baseman on the Philadelphia Na- tional League baseball team, and forward on the K. of C. world- beating quintet, for our coach. Under his e X p e rt tutelage the team learned more basketball than any former C. C. H. S. squad ever dreamed of. The team started out in whirlwind fashion, winning four straight games. Then came the Alumni game, and as a result of it the varsity seemed to become totally disorganized. Not until the latter part of January did it hit its old stride. By that time, however, some of the best games on the schedule were lost. ll The members of the team are: J. Koehl QCaptainj, G. DeWa1d, P. Miller, R. Neeb, M. Boland, S. Miller, T. Mungovan, A. Beck- er and R. Rinehart. Games The first game of the season was played December 3rd with the Alumni five. DeWald and T. Mungovan were b a r r e d from playing, but despite this the var- sity maintained precedent and de- feated the grads 18 to 14. The game was fast and well played throughout. The old boys led at the rest period, 9 to 8, and kept thesadvantage until near the end of the second half when Paul Mil- ler sent the C. C. H. S. to the front with two long shots in rapid succession. All of the Alumni played a good game, while Bush- man with four Held goals led in the scoring. Lineup and summary: C. C. H. S. U85 Alumni fI4.J P. Miller ......................

December 17th the varsity trav- eled to Lima, Ohio, to play the St. Rose High Quintet. The slippery floor and the net which enclosed the entire court proved handicaps, but the C. C. DH. S. boys put up a splendid passing game, time after time working the ball down to the basket. Both teams played a fast game, but the accurate shooting of Miller's charges won 26 to 12. The first half ended I5 to II in our favor. The expert guarding of DeWald and Boland in the second half kept the Lima boys from reg- istering a single field goal. December 22nd the C. C. H. S. played its second home game, win- ning from Garrett H. S. 36 to 25. The game was hard fought and fast throughout but the accurate shoot- ing and the Hue passing of the C. C.'s m ade the outcome certain. Beeber was high s c o r'e r of the evening, getting eight field goals. Paul Miller was the leading point- getter for the varsity with six Held goals, while DeWald at running guard gathered in five. During the Christmas vacation all the members of the ,I8-,IQ team were back from college, and as is the custom, played the var- sity. Mi1ler's proteges entered the contest W ith small hopes of winning, but they put up a good exhibition, even though they were ECHO defeated 33 to 12. The advantage in weight, r e a c h and experience was with the old boys, and every- one of them was in tip-top condi- tion after a month of c o l l e g e training. In the second half the C. C. H. S. put up a ine passing game, but had hard luck in shoot- ing. Everyone of the Alumni put up a s t ell a r exhibition, while Koehl played the best game for us. The C. C.'s not only lost the game, but also th e services of Boland, star back guard, who injured his arm. i Lineup and summary: C. C. H.

It was a bruised and battered team that to o k the floor against Decatur H. S. the night following the Alumni game. Weakened by the loss of Boland at back guard, the C. C. H. S. was forced to ac- knowledge a IQ to I5 defeat. The game developed into a regular rough and tumble contest, and the football g a m e s last fall amply proved th at the C. C.'s werenlt there when it came to winning a football game. January 7th, Monroe H. S. in- vaded the C. C. camp. Reports forewarned us to expect a real bat- tle, and the game proved the re- ports to be true, for Monroe had the best high s c h o ol team that played on our c o u rt so far this season. Luck seemed to go against the team, for before the first half was well under way, DeWald was forced out of the game with in- juries and Koehl soon followed .

With both regular guards and the center out of the lineup, the C. C. H. S. was defeated 28 to 13. A week later the entire squad with the exception of Boland went to Decatur for a return game. After the most exciting contest seen on the home team's court in several years, the C. C. H. S. lost out 22 to 20 after battling ten min- utes overtime. In the first over- time period neither team scored, but in the second Decatur scored two field goals to our one. For the first time in the history of the C. C. H. S. regular season games w e r e scheduled with the Fort Wa yn e High. The Hrst game was played on ou r court. January 18th, and after a fast and hard fought contest the F. W. H. S. won, 23 to 15. The varsity took the lead and held it the greater part of the first half until the ex- pert free shooting of Morse, the visitors' forward, gave his team the lead. The score at the half- way mark was I2 to 9. The sec- ond half was as fast as the first, but C. C. H. S. hopes of victory went dwindling when Koehl was retired because of fo u r personal fouls. The g a m e was rough in spots, but this was due to the in- tense rivalry of the two te a m s. Morse and Adams played a stel- lar game for the winners, while Koehl and P. Miller were the best bets of the C. C. H. S. Sub Miller played his Hrst game of the season, working at his old position. running guard. Lineup and summary: C. c. H. s. C155 F. W. H. s. 623, P.

Koehl was high scorer of the even- ing with five field goals. The night following the Ossian game, january 22, the team play- ed the Cathedral High of Indian- apolis in the Capitol City. Dis- playing a brand of team work that was a revelation to their followers and outplaying their opponents in all departments, the C. C. H. S. triumphed 26 to 17. During the first half, which ended I3 to 2 in our favor, the home quintet failed to make a single field goal. While every member of both teams dis- played a good brand of ball, the wonderful guarding of Boland, the all-around playing of Koehl, and the speed of Paul Miller at- tracted much comment.

Sophomore Games Our plucky five has won thir- teen games so far and have lost but four. We opened the season on December Ist, with a defeat at the hands of the St. John's Lu- theran Society, by a score of 24 to 22. We redeemed ourselves a few nights later by a score of 26 to 16. We then met the local Freshmen and walloped th em. While we were in a winning streak, we took on the Cagers and won by a score of 40 to 4. On December o, we du- plicated the same on the Cavaliers by a score of 42 to 8. After wi n n i n g four straight games, we met the St. John's team to play the rubber of our series with them and lost by a score of 18 to 16. Our next great victory was o v e r the South Side Cagers when we piled up 40 points to their 6. On January 7, we had what we consider the best game of the sea- son so far. The strong E. A. C.'s played us a hard game, but as the playing progressed, our opponents lost ground and we won by a dou- ble score of 24 to 12. Ten days later the same team returned and handed us a defeat by a score of 20 to 16. Our First out of town game was with the Cathedral High Juniors of Indianapolis. It was a clean, sportsmanlike game in which we proved ourselves the victors by a score of I3 to II.

Quinlan In the death of Reverend John R. Quinlan, Rector of the Cathe- dral, the Fort Wayne Diocese lost one of its most zealous priests, and the Cathedral Parish one of its ablest pastors. Father Quinlan's work in Fort Wayne at the Cathe- dral covered a period of nearly nineteen years 5 as assistant pastor, from 1890 to 1897, and then as rector from 1910 until his death. When he became pastor of the Cathedral its total indebtedness was almost 360,000 Before very many years this was liquidated. Then he built the Cathedral Boy's School, sham-rocked the church, and recently installed a new heat- ing plant-all at a cost of more than one hundred thousand dollars, and yet the last annual report showed that the Cathedral Parish is entirely free from debt. And the large amounts necessary to defray these expenses were collected by Father Quinlan in his own inimi- table way, without too great in- sistance on his part. Successful in his parish work from a business standpoint, he was equally success- ful in the spiritual guidance of the large congregation confided to him. But in the small world of our school life, the Central Catholic High School lost one of its inter- ested friends and constant sup- porters. Altho the C. C. H. S. is not a parish school Father Quinlan was always deeply interested in its welfare. He was one of us at our entertainments, oratorical contests, and commencements. Always in- terested in public speaking, he was the donor of the gold medal award- ed annually to the winner of the Junior elocution contest. But as boys of the C. C. H. S. we shall remember Father Quinlan for the interest he has taken in our ath- letics. Every year he had given us the use of Library Hall for our basketball games. His zeal in behalf of the school was manifest in many other ways-ways which will make his loss keenly felt. Faculty and students mourn his death. 4 THE ECHO The Birds God keeps the angels, But seeing our dearth He became compassionate And sent birds to earth. And now in the woodlands Their singing abounds, Grand peons of joy, Wondrous sounds. No doubt the angels With their songs of love Sing far more sweetly In heaven above. But for the present I rest content To list to these minstrels By Heaven sent. R. Neeb, '21. Father Badin I When a man devotes his entire life to the interests and welfare of his fellow beings he is deserving of praise, and should be held in grateful memory. More so should this be true when he overcomes many and great obstacles in the performance of his charitable la- bors. A man of this kind was the Reverend Stephen Theodore Bad- in. He is of especial interest to us, however, not because of his mis- sionary enterprises merely, ard- uous as they were, but because they often benefitted the early inhabitants of our city. To quote from Father Benoit: The few Catholics that resided here QFort Waynel were visited for the first time on record on the first of June, 1830 by Very Reverend Stephen Theodore Badin, the first ordained priest in the United States. ' Born in Orleans, France on July 17th, 1768, Father Badin was given the saintly name Stephen Theo- dore. Because of his early extra- ordinary mental faculties, it was decided that his should be a class- ical education. When he was of the proper age he entered Mon- taigu College, Paris, where he remained three years. Then feel- ing the call to the sacred ministry he. took up his studies in the Sul- pician Seminary at Orleans. Two years later the seminary was dis- solved as a result of the French Revolution. Because of the fact that the Bishop of Orleans had taken the odious Constitutional Oath, the youth decided not to receive ordination at the hands of such a man, and consequently in March, 1792, he sailed for Amer- ica in the company of two priests. This incident shows the strength of his moral principles, for Amer- ica at that time was little more than a wilderness. Shortly after his arrival in this country he was ordained on May 25th, 1793, in St. Peter's Cathe- dral, Baltimore by Bishop Carroll. His was the first ordination in the United States. As at that time there was no priest in the Kentuc- ky missions, the bishop appointed him to attend to the spiritual wants of the Catholics in that district. With the vicar general, Father Barrieres, for a companion the young priest started for the field of his missionary activities. Trav- elling on foot and by flat boat for three months, they finally arrived at Lexington where on the first Sunday of Advent Father Badin said his first mass in Kentucky. The two priests were on the mis- sion but two years, when for the sake of the sheperdless flock of Louisiana, Father Badin sacri- ficed his only helper, and took entire charge of the Kentucky missionary field. Although Father THE Badin did not feel called to the mission labors of this section, he never complained because as he said, Nothing that is done for God is done in vain. It would be difficult to conceive the hardships, anxieties, and pri- vations he was forced to endure. In all seasons, by day and by night, his task led him through forests, over flooded rivers, and amid the tomahawks of Indians, where he was constantly exposing his life. It was necessary for him to contend single-handed with ig- norance, prejudices, and the bitter hostility of sectarians. The three hundred Catholic families of his mission were scattered over an area of more than one hundred and twenty miles. Hence he spent much of his time in the saddle. It is estimated that he traveled more than 100,000 miles by this method alone. After some years of intense labor, two fellow-missionaries were sent to aid him, but shortly after- ward one died as a result of an accident. Better times, however, were at hand. One by one mis- sionaries came to Kentucky until in 1808 Bardstown became an episcopal city. In 1819 Father Badin visited his native France where he re- mained until 1828. During a few years of his stay there, he was in charge of parish work. While abroad he published a 'Statement of the Missions in Kentucky with a view of arousing interest in the work that was so dear to him. He secured the Trappists for Geth- semane, and several secular priests for the missions. On his return he went back to Kentucky, remaining there until, ECHO , 5 in the autumn of 1830, he went to Cincinnati. This trip seemed pro- vidential, for at that very time the Pottawatomie Chief, Pokagon, in- duced the Very Reverend Gabriel Richard, Vicar General of the Diocese of Cincinnati, to secure Father Badin for the neglected Indian mission on the St. Joseph River, near South Bend, where the University of Notre Dame now stands. When the veteran priest took up his work among the Pottawat- omies the Baptists abandoned the mission attempted by them, and he was encouraged in his efforts to revive the teachings of the early missionaries. He was aided in his teaching office by a Miss Campou, a skilled linguist, and by Eliza Jackson, both de- voted and fervent co-workers, who are styled by early historians as Charity Sisters. Here he pur- chased a section of land from the Government and built a log chapel as early as 1831. This was the first church in the diocese of Fort Wayne. From this center the proto-priest of America attended not only the Indians, but also the French people in the villages of South Bend, Huntington, Wabash, Peru, Logansport, and the present sees of Chicago and Fort Wayne. His recorded visits to our own city bear the dates from June 1st, 1830 to September 5th, 1834. In a letter written at Huntington on September 23rd, 1834 he mentions having procured a town lot in Fort Wayne on which to build a church for the needs of about one hundred Catholic families in and about the village. In 1836, his health, weakened by strenuous labors, broke down, and 6 THE ECHO he was relieved of the mission. He then returned to Cincinnati, where he devoted much of his time to literary work. The most prom- inent of his writings are his Let- ters , to an Episcopalian Friend, which were published in the Cath- olic Telegraph in the same year. In 1837 he went to Bardstown where he acted as vicar general, at the same time attending several mis- sions. This was no small task for a man in his seventies, but Father Badin performed his work cheer- fully, knowing that he was working not for men but for God. A missionary's life is one of hardship, and from the time that Father Badin followed the Divine call the cross was his portion. As a young man he had been driven out of France by the Revolution. As a young priest he was sent to a mis- sion which was not only against his natural preferences, but which was so extensive and inconvenient that it was, from a human standpoint, discouraging and impossible. As a man, venerable with age, he found his companions to be men of another generation, whose views, though often more enlightended, were contrary to those of the aged and experienced missionary priest. Father Badin would never quarrel, but would change his residence when he met with any difficulty with his fellow priests or his super- iors in the hierarchy. On May 25th, 1843, the ven- erable priest celebrated the golden jubilee of his ordination in far away Baltimore. Three years later he became pastor of Bourbonnais Grove, Illinois. He spent the years of 1848-49 with his old friend, Bishop Flaget, in Kentucky. Thence he made his way to Cin- cinnati where he went about help- ing overburdened priests. During the last eleven years of his life he made frequent visits to Notre Dame, the place he loved so well. Five months before his death he took up his abode at the residence of Archbishop Purcell of Cincin- nati. Feeble from his life-long labor, he steadily declined in strength. On the morning of April 21st, 1853, it was evident that his end was near. Archbishop Purcell and the priests of the household hastened to the sick chamber, and while they were there a thunderstorm passed over the city. VVhen the skies had cleared the venerable priest had passed away. And thus after he had spent sixty-one years in mis- sionary activity death came to give him the reward which he so rightly deserved. Though he was buried in the crypt of the Cathedral of Cincin- nati, his body was moved fifty years later to Notre Dame that it might rest in the spot where he had offered so many Masses, where he had baptized so many children and converts, where he had united so many young people in the bonds of holy wedlock, where he had spent so many hours in silent prayer, and where before he left his mission he donated his land as a site for the University of Notre Dame. And there rests his body in a log chapel, the exact reproduction of the first chapel built by the zealous missionary on the bank of St. Mary's Lake. A simple marble slab covers the grave of this proto- priest of America, Father Stephen Theodore Badin. Florian Arnold, '21. THE ECHO 7 Sunbeams Just some tiny beams of sunlight Through my window hangings creep Ere I yet am roused from slumber, And my lids are veiled in sleep. Like some tiny threads of copper In a fold of bleakest gray, Or a dimly lighted schooner On a murky watered bay. Faltering they pause a moment, Then they speed upon their way, Leaving me no consolation For a cold and cheerless day. A. E. Trav'lin' Some One wintry afternoon the Rod and Gun Club had gathered in Bill Sloane's general store, and as usual Bill was trying his best to spring one of his fish stories on us, but was not enjoying the best of suc- cess, when suddenly Pop Nelson showed symptoms of story telling. Of course we all shut up, because whenever Pop told a yarn it was a good one. Our suspicions were verified, for after a few perfunctory preparations, he launched forth. I jes' sort'a thought of somethin' that happened when I was about twelve years old. Me and my brother and Jim Bowers had gone out campin' in an old cabin near a pond. It was late fall, and the last week of the duck season. We hadn't had any cold weather yet and the pond wasn't froze. It was dark when we got there. After settlin' down we went to bed so we would be ready for an early start. I had a brand new gun, and was awful anxious to try it out, so jes' as the east begin to grey, I rolled out without wakin' the rest and started for the pond, all primed for action, so to speak. It turned cold and froze over night, and I'm stumblin' along across a small pond which I notice has considerable hillocks of grass sticking through the ice, though I can't distinguish clearly, when I see one of these hillocks move right in front of me, and now it looks like a duck. I lay right down and points the old gun at what I rea- sons must be its head, and pulls the trigger. After my head sort 'a clears up from the kick I got, I hear a squakin' and flappin' of wings all around me, but I lay still. The flappin' keeps on and don't get any farther away, and I begin to get a sick'nin' sensation in the stomach. Inf- a little while I raise my head to look around, and I notice that all them things that I thought was hillocks was really ducks that was sleepin' with their heads under their wings. I think they must be froze in and can't fly, so I get up to kill a few when I suddenly notice that I don't see any trees or bushes,-jes' nothin' but horizon, and what's more, I seem to be movin'. Then I begin to think, and I see how the ducks was froze in the ice in the night, and when I shot they tried to fly away, and there bein' so many of them, they jes' naturally flew away with the sheet of ice with me on it. After this I don't do much thinkin' but jes' holdin' on, and hopin' that the sun don't come up and melt the ice before I land. By this time Bill had got his breath back, and he asked Pop how he got down. Well, I jes' crawled around and choked them to death, one at a time, until there was only enough left to keep from fallin' right down, and I landed fine-sort 'a like a balloon lettin' out a little gas at a time when they want to land.

E. Bresnahan, '23. Spooks Fred Melwood and I were spend- ing a pleasant week-end at my summer cabin in the mountains. In the course of a day's fishing Fred started to talk about Spirit- ualism, a fad in which he placed credence, and which I thought was all bosh. We often had friendly arguments, on my part more or less bantering, on the subject, but today out talk waxed hotter and hotter, until at last when I thought we had gone a little too far, I said, Oh, come on Fred 5 let's not quarrel about it! At that he closed up like a clam, got sulky, and went on fishing without say- ing another word. Finally, as we picked up our tackle to go back to the cabin he turned abruptly on me and said, Never mind, young man, you'll soon see something that will make you believe. This seemed to relieve his pent-up feel- ings. I laughed off his prophecy, and we went up the path arm in arm, chatting as only real friends can. It was nearly dark when we ar- rived at the cabin, and a light wind had sprung up. Over in the west dark clouds were gathering, and Fred remarked that it looked as though we were in for a storm. We cooked our supper, and afterwards sat around a cheery log fire, smok- ing our pipes. Outside the wind had worked itself into a commo- tion, and the noise that it made as it tore through the pines that stood outside the door was not very pleasant to listen to. Nice night for spooks, isn't it? I ventured innocently. Now Fred was a man to feel a hurt quickly and afterwards resent it. Well, when I said that he knocked the ashes out of his pipe, and without saying a word went straight to his room, and from the noises I heard I judged that he went to bed. I knew that it was of no use to argue with him- be- cause I had had experience with his queer moods before. I knew that in the morning he would be bright and cheerful, and would have for- gotten all about the incident. I read a magazine for about a half hour and then prepared for bed. I put a log on the fire, nearly stepping on our cat CTom we called himj in doing so. I then turned out the lamp, went to my room, and tumbled into my cot. I don't know how long I had been sleeping, but all of a sudden I awoke with a start. First I heard the moaning and whining of the wind, and then a tapping noise- tap, tap, tap. Cold chills chased themselves up and down my spine. I recalled F red's prophecy, and after a moment's reflection I thought that he was trying to fool me. Then I heard another noise- fit, fit, fit-whir-r, whir-r-r. In the dim light from the dying em- bers in the other room I could see the chairs moving around. I pulled out the gun that I always kept under my pillow. No human being could have made those noises. I quickly banished any THE ECHO p 9 thought of Fred's being connected with them. The three taps, and the same fit, fit, fit-whir-r, whir-r-r were repeated. I started out of bed, but a chair by the side of it began to jump around. Right there I stopped. Right then and there I almost became a spiritualist. I called to Fred, and I admit that my voice was rather trembling and squeaky. Either he was too fast asleep, or the tempest outside drowned my voice, because he never responded. The same noises continued. By gathering my wits about me and by difficult maneu- vering I managed to stumble into the room where the log fire was. I lighted the lamp, and summon- ing enough courage to find the cause of all the disturbance, I returned to my bed-room. As I entered the door, the cat came bounding out. In its mouth was an artificial bait that I had used during the day. The bait was fastened to my line and reel. It all dawned on me when Tom paused long enough to give his fit sound to get loose from the bait, and finding them ineffectual bounded off again to the whir of the reel. My line was hopelessly tangled around the legs of the chairs that the cat in its despera- tion jostled around the room. On investigation I found that the tap- ping noise was caused by a branch that struck against the window with each violent gust of wind. Fred never heard about my ex- perience. You wonder why? Well, I wanted to cheat him out of a good laugh on me, that's why. Paul Miller, '21. Our Hero Dead The fleeting years are passing by, But though forgetful time has sped Let not in us the memory die Of those brave souls, our hero dead. From every Walk and path of life, They fought and bled in Freedom's name. May we with never faltering voice Proclaim their everlasting fame. L. E. Springtime It was a cool and fresh morning. The trees were in leaf and the grass everywhere was green. The dew sparkled in the sun. The rob- ins were chirping in a maple tree near the door, and as Annabel looked up from the steaming tub she saw two bright orioles alight on a little twig and begin to show great fondness for each other. The songs of the birds came in through the window as she paused over the washboard. The sight of so joyful a morning brought tears to Anna- bel's eyes, and bending over the tub to shut out the view, she started at the task before her. As the sun rose higher and higher the air became warmer until at last there seemed to be no breeze what- ever. All was quiet save the noise made by the steady rub of the clothes over the washboard, and the buzz of a lazy fly that flew over the girl's head. Annabel was a generous girl. How she wished to bring more comforts to the sad home of which she and little cripple Jim were the only occupants. The thought of him on his bed of pain and of that terrible hump on his back again brought tears to her already swollen eyes. They cours- ed down her cheeks and fell into the soapy water. How she wished there was no such thing as washing clothes. Her arms were already 10 THE aching, and her lingers, drawn and wrinkled by the water, were with- out strength to wring the garments. Still she toiled on, and her brave heart, driven by its generous im- pulses, seemed to give her new strength. Then again the girl stopped as she heard the happy songs of the birds, which seemed to mock her unhappy state. She thought of the Song of the Shirt, and her sup- pressed grief seemed to tear her heart. The air where she worked as hot and sultry. How cool and inviting the shade of the trees seemed. Annabel's arms ached, her head ached, her whole body ached, and dropping the wet shirt back into the tub, she staggered to a chair. The peach trees were in bloom. The perfume of the apple blossoms came in through the open window. The robins and the orioles sang louder and sweeter. A cool breeze began to move, and blew loose ringlets of hair across Annabel's sweet but care-worn face. The tired eyes closed, her head dropped on her breast, and she slept. She dreamed of the future, when she and Jim no longer lived cooped up in so small a house, and where all was happiness. The perfume of the apple blos- soms came in through the open window. The peach trees were pink in bloom. The robins and the orioles continued singing. A little wren hopped in and out a box that Annabel had placed in a tree near the house. Still the girl slept and dreamed-dreamed of a fairy- land. Edmund Bresnahan, l23.

The hot rays of an August sun fell on the over-crowded bleachers. Two spectators were especially noticeable because of their ani- mated conversation, which caused the nearby fans to crane their necks in order that they might not miss a word of the conversation. The one who was doing most of the talking was a young fellow with a super- cilious air about him, and with a knack of handling mouth-Hlling words that completely awed his companion. Psychology, he was saying, is one of the most useful studies we have. The powers of the psychologist are unlimited. Hu- man events are as evident to him long before they happen as the date of the new year is to you. Human characters, their powers, and capa- bilities are as transparent to him as the lately washed window is to the housemaid, who stands surveying it, Bon Ami in hand. THE Are you what cha call a psy- chologer? queried his passive com- panion. While I do not in any way de- sire to clothe myself in psychologi- cal laurels, I will say that I con- sider my pursuit of psychology not in the least neglected. Alter deftly rolling a cigarette, the educated person sat mutely on his hundred and forty-four square inches of the pine boards that go to make up the well known fifty-five cent bleacher seats. Batting prac- tice was begun, and the movements of the players on the field seemed automatically to put into action the human phonograph. Psychology, he started out, is used in every-day life. Take, for instance, that batter out there. No, not that one, the one near the end of the bench, standing there swinging his bat. You can tell just from his general carriage that he doesn't know much about base- ball. Look at the way he swings his bat. Why, man, he resembles a gorilla more than a ball player. Notice the way that he bends for- ward when he swings. You never see a real ball player do that. The idea is to step up on the ball. Any- one can see from his carriage and characteristics that he's no ball player. His place is in a black- smith shop, not on the baseball diamond. The object of derision went to take his turn at bat. Mixed shouts of joy and applause welcomed the favorite Babe Ruth to the plate. Herbert Conway, '21, 6 6TuH'7 9 It was a tiresome evening. I was disgusted-in fact I had .not been so much bored since the night ECHO 11 before. The girl that I had escort- ed to the dance, the only one there whom I knew, had inconsiderately, but very systematically given away all her dances with the exception of two, the first and the last. Kind, was it not? Any diversion was naturally welcome to me, and while I sat, rather dejected, on a lounge I saw with much neck-stretching a young fellow nearby, slouched into the cushions. His mental attitude seemed to reflect my own, and I im- mediately arose,went up to him, and did my best to start a conversation. Query Quaryf' Annie Laurie,' and other columns in the daily papers attest to a fact known by both Aristotle and myself, that human beings, especially youthful ones, have a weakness for disclos- ing their troubles to others, and as Aeneas says, after the usual pre- liminary remarks Disconsolate No. 2 spoke thus: I say, I want to put you wise to something. Some of these girls up here take a kind of pleasure in hurting one's feelings. That black haired girl dancing with Pat Brown fleeced the last dance with me. Now I don't mind a girl doing that once, but when she makes a practice- How's that! you don't know Pat Brown? Well, there he is, in be- tween those two couples by the orchestra-no, not there. Here they come, they are passing us. It was my girl. I said so, and he laughed. J. L. Release. Twilight steals upon us unawares, We scarcely note the fading of the light Until the west shorn of the sun's last ray, Is shrouded by the falling cloak of night. Appalling us with all its gloomy depths Yet freeing us f1'o1n work and worldly cares. R. N.

May, the month of flowers, has in mod- ern times been especially dedicated by the Church to the Blessed Vir- gin. Our special devotions of this month are, however, but an echo of the distant past when churches, shrines, images, the very names of streets and squares proclaimed the honor due to Mary,-times when every Christian home and shop boasted of its image of the Ma- donna, with its glimmering lamp of olive oil burning in token of undying love,-times when con- fraternities and societies, with their continual public devotions to the Mother of God, fostered and kept alive and fervent those deeply rooted sentiments of affection for her and of confidence in her inter- cession, for which the Church in the Catacombs was so remarkable. We, as Catholic boys should culti- cate a deep-rooted devotion to our Blessed Lady, and never let a day pass without having recourse to Mary, through whose powerful intercession all graces flow. Let us, during the month of May strengthen this devotion by special practices in her honor, and we may rest assured that if we are her clients in thought, word, and deed, she in return will obtain for us the graces we need in time and for eternity.-M. S., '23, THE ECHO 13 Cardinal Gibbons After read- ing the newspaper accounts and appreciations, the personal glimp- ses and the estimates about Card- dinal Gibbons set forth in divers periodicals and magazines, both Catholic and non-Catholic, one appreciates him more than ever before, not only as an ecclesiastical figure, but also as a national one. His justice, and his unprejudiced views of Church and of national matters is proverbial. So also is his patriotism, not an inactive or sluggish variety, but a patriotism that is an inspiration to all. Al- though his strong and noble char- acter has passed from amongst us, he shall be cherished as an example of a truly great and glorious man. May Providence raise up another leader such as he. J. S., '21. A Time Schedule. ln the World nothing is more evident than the regular Way in which different enterprises are carried on. Trains run by schedule, ships leave on an appointed day, men Work or rather quit Work at an appointed hour,- in fact, the World turns on sched- uled time. The successful business man manages his establishment in a certain order every day. He for- sees his daily tasks, and has a special time for performing each special duty. In other Words, he Works on a schedule. Some people may say that his business is in a rut. But it is not. It's his routine, together With his foresight, that has placed him Where he is. A time schedule brings results since it insures the fulfillment of each task, and prevents a clash of duties. lt is useful in all Walks of life, but it is especially serviceable in schoolwork. How many lessons yvould not be neglected entirely or in part Were a student earnest enough to adopt a time schedule. It begets system, the keynote to a successful life. System is a philos- opher's stone that turns time into gold, and system is best obtained by doing a specific Work at a appointed time. M. B., '21. The Senior Number. Accord- ing to present plans the final num- ber of the Echo for this school year will be devoted entirely to the Seniors. While there are no pre- tensions to call it an annual, no effort will be spared to make it representative of what will very likely be the largest graduating class in the history of the school. As only a limited number of books will be printed, anyone desiring extra copies should make applica- tion to the Echo management not later than June lst. E. B., '21.

On February twenty-first we heard of the sudden demise of Charles M. Harkenrider, 'l6. With abated breath we stood transfixed, unwilling to believe, unable to realize that he had gone to his Maker. Charley, with his jovial smile, his frankness, and a pleasing per- sonality that carried with it the charm of undying friendship, had won a warm spot in the hearts of all who knew him. Even in his days at the Central Catholic High School his natural ability for doing things propelled him upward, and he had no equal as a booster of athletics, of music, and of what- ever pertained to wholesome en- tertainment. His energy caused him to be chosen the first Editor- in-Chief of the Echo. His pro- gressiveness later won him a place on the staff of the Beacon the Fort Wayne K. of C. publication, and made him the publicity man- ager of the famous 4'Casey basket- ball quintet. 'He had the ardor and the enthusiasm that spell success and lead to greater things. Dead! How often we hear it, and with what suddenness a cheer- ful home can be plunged beneath a pall of death. Yet, how much harder, and more sorrowful when it is the young soul of one just blossoming into the golden future of manhood that is called to its eternal reward. Faculty, students, alumni, the Knights of Columbus, the Phi Delta Kappas, and the American Legion, one and all mourn the loss of a very dear friend. L. W. It is our sad duty toechronicle the death of Mr. Edward W. Ehinger, father of Russell of the Freshmen Class, who died on Monday, March twenty-eighth. Although suffering from a linger- ing illness, Mr. Ehinger accepted his cross in a truly Christian spirit never complaining during his long sufferings. The host of friends at his funeral evidenced the regard in which he was held by his ac- quaintances. Brother Gilbert and the members of the Freshmen class represented the faculty and stu- dents at the funeral services held Thursday, March thirty-first, in St. Patrick's Church. To the be- reaved family we extend our sin- cere and prayerful sympathy. The Mission Game The annual basketball games for the benefit of the Holy Cross Mis- sion of Bengal, India, were more successful financially this year than ever before. The spirit of the boys in school and the ardent coopera- tion of many zealous friends brought the total beyond the hopes THE ECHO 15 of even the most sanguine. The expenses of the game were rather large, but the sum of 3156.00 was cleared, and this amount has been forwarded to Rev. Michael Mathis, C. S. C., the editor of The Bengal- ese. Special thanks are due to the members of the Super Six and the M. I. X. sextets, who played the opening game, and who sold many tickets, to Mrs. Quinn, to Mrs. C. Benward, and to the young ladies of the St. Augustine's and the St. Catherine's academies, who also helped in selling tickets, and to Mr. Mart Cleary who annually donates one thousand tickets for the mission game. Every class in school was one hundred percent behind the enter- prise. The Seniors led the other classes in the matter of salesman- ship, turning in 36000. After the game a great many of those who were present repaired to the K. of C. Hall, and rounded out the evening's entertainment with a few hours of dancing. Mr. and Mrs. Clem App, and Mr. and Mrs. George L. DeWald were chaper- ones. The Cathedral High orches- tra of Indianapolis furnished the music. The Day is Over The shades of night are falling, The sun has gone to rest, And the golden sunbeams slowly sink Behind the wooded crest. The proud oaks bend in humble note, The church bell sounds its peal To call the rustic folk to prayer And at His altar kneel. H. C. Locals and Personals Leslie Logan, '19, our old point- getter on the basketball teams of '18 and '19 won his letter this year on the Notre Dame University quintet. Congratulations, Les. Myron Parrott, student in '10- 11-12, who is a member of the fiction staff of the London Daily Times, is now in Fort Wayne visit- ing his mother. The Seniors are very important and business-like these days. Prep- arations for commencement are in full swing, and they are all set for the oratorical contest which is to be held in the near future. Reverend Timothy Crowley, C. S. C., Vicar General of the Diocese of Dacca, India, made a special visit to the school to thank the students for their splendid work in making the basketball game for the benefit of the Bengal Mission such a success. Father Crowley assisted also at the funeral ceremonies of his intimate friend, Father Quinlan. More honors recently came to Aaron Huguenard, '18, at Notre Dame. Besides being a reporter of the University Law Quarterly, Aar- on was added to the board of editors of the Notre Dame Scholas- lic. The account of the Senior Dance is being held over for the Com- mencement Number. The Class of '21 wants that writeup and the one of the annual feed at the expense of the Juniors to occupy one page of space. As yet the banquet exists only in the minds of the Seniors. Brother Gilbert spent a week some time ago in St. Joseph's Hospital with a painful infection of the foot. He is, however, back in 16 THE the class room again, and accord- ing to the Sophomores, making up for the time he spent in the hos- pital. Robert Kelty, a student of '18- 19-20, is now a senior in the Hart- ford City High School. Bob still has his hobby of drawing cartoons. Not less than thirty-six of his draw- ings were accepted for his school annual. The faculty was honored recent- ly with a visit of Very Reverend James Burns, C. S. C., president of the University of Notre Dame. Father Burns represented the Uni- versity at the funeral of Reverend John R. Quinlan. Emmett Sorg, '16, returned to Fort Wayne some time ago after spending a year in California re- gaining his health. We were about to offer Emmett our best wishes on his nuptials when we were informed that the Emmett Sorg who was married was not our own at all. The following item from the Journal-Gazette sport page explains itself: Raymond Young, a member of the R. S. T. team of Fort VVayne, was awarded highest honors for sportmanship and conduct in the junior basketball tournament recently held at Huntington. He was also picked as floor guard on the all-state team. Young was junior tennis champion of Fort VVayne last summer, and is a student at the Central Cath- olic High School. Maurice Zurbuch, student from '16 to '18, is now a freshman at Duquesne University, Pittsburg. Maurice was in Fort Wayne re- cently, and visited his old friends in school. He furnished the news that Stewart Zurbuch, '19 is doing the quarter mile and the mile in great time for the Washington and Jefferson University track team. Through the courtesy of the officials of the Traction Company the Senior Class was shown thru ECHO , the Power Plant. The two men who explained the electrical ap- paratus were kept busy for two hours answering questions put by the interested Seniors. We have heard that one or two of the class were slightly dissatisfied because they weren't allowed to experience what 33,000 volts felt like. Brother Ephrem, C. S. C., a member of the faculty from 1912- 20, and who is now principal of the Catholic High School in Evans- ville, underwent an operation for appendicitis some time ago. We are very pleased to hear that the operation was successful and we wish him a complete and perma- nent restoration to health. The Sunday edition of the Jour- nal-Gazetfe ran a full-page story a few weeks ago about the Fort Wayne Radio Club. The picture of George Gordon of the Sopho- more class occupied a conspicuous place on the page. The following was said about George: One of the youngest wireless operators in the city is George Gordon of 927 Wildwood Avenue. Gordon is only sixteen years old, and has had a wireless receiving set since June of last year. His instrument consists of a home-made regenerative cabinet, with a single audion detector. He has heard stations in nearly all the districts of the country. Among the telephone stations, which he has heard are 9XM, University of Wisconsin, 2XX, De- Forest Telephone Company, Ossining, N. Y., 2XJ, Western Electric Company, Elberon, N. Y., SZL, St. Mary's, Ohio, 2XQ, Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., KDKA, West- inghouse Electric Company, East Pittsburg, Pa., which gives a concert and lecture every night from 7:30 to 8:30 o'clock, and gives United Press news from 10:20 to 11:20. Then and Now He used to come at eight And leave at three. He didn't think that late Nor yet did she. They're married now, and he Leaves home at eight At night and comes at three,- Now is that late?

During the last month all sorts of affairs have been crowding upon us. First of all, we or rather Don McDonald and Joe Luley, put across the Senior Dance which set a standard that succeeding classes can only emulate. Then We did a good bit of Work on the Senior play, but it proved to be wasted Work when the play fell through. Preparation for the oratorical con- test came next and we are still at it. Just now, too, the Senior number is occuping all our spare time, and the way Eddie Baker, the editor-in-chief, is going about it, it should prove worthy of the largest graduating class in the history of the school. But it isn't exactly a case of all work and no play. Wie are just in the act of copping the inter-class baseball championship, and we have no fear about annexing the title of the tennis tournament that is under consideration. Mike Young, the city junior tennis champ, Will look after our laurels in that. Just now all We have to say is: Watch for the final number of the Echo. ,IUNIORS As the Seniors insist on patron- izing a Hhot-dog stand instead of going to the Summit City for the annual feed We'll fulfill their wishes and take them to the dogs. Should any difficulties arise before or after the above mentioned Hswellu affair, we'll just turn the matter over to Fields and Foohey and let them scrap it out as they are doing about their rival news- papers. Hedekin says he is going to be a good little boy, and is going to keep up his record and pass in every- thing except Chemistry and his three language classes. John was always a bright chap and this makes Bopp so jealous that he is now using oil on his hair to out- shine J ohn's brightness, but it Will take pretty tall stepping to do so.

The Royal Order of Ally Ska- mooch has been successfully united with the Ancient Order of the Bloody Dagger and everything will run peaceably until the officers are to be elected. Mills and Schneider are campaigning for the Most Royal High Office and Mills seems to be making the bigger hit of the two. Martin's Ford seems to be try- ing to put the south bound street cars out of business at noons of late. But this is but one of the new changes. Schifiii and Fitz- gerald are trying to run the rest of us out of class byawanting all the work for themselves. Roth and Elliott are with us every day. Kinstle moved to town, and seems to be quite settled. Mills spends much of his time trying to convince Lucas that barbers' prices are coming down. Lawrence Roth is now our star in Chemistry. He is the first to reach class and the last to leave. Again we beg to repeat that we'll meet the Seniors at the Weiner stand. SOPHOMORES Yes, sir, after claiming the inter- class football and basketball championship, we are ready to carry off the same honors in base- ball. We certainly have peach of a start and we've never failed in anything we have undertaken. ECHO 1 We suppose you noticed that there were but five members in the picture of our basketball team. We know it is bad form to offer an excuse for the absence of McCarthy and Koehl, but kindly remember that it is easier to patch up mat- ters with the long and the short of the team, than it would be to pay for a broken camera. Just turn back and lamp Little Joe Clif- ford once again. It is a cinch you'd know him if you ever met him, for he's the exception that proves the rule that Nobody loves afat man. We didn't mean to give Clifford so much space, for we wanted to tell you about how our own George Gordon's physiognomy which oc- cupied about twenty-four square inches of space in the local Sunday paper recently. George, who is but sixteen years old, is the young- est radio operator in the city. The Bull, our class weekly, hasn't been very regular of late. Increased demands on Perry's time, Donohue and McKiernan's fight, Clifford and McCarthy's love, Rinehart's broken nose, the trip to New Haven, O'Neil's bi- annual hair cut, McEvoy's raise at the Hope-Methodist, the spring vacation, Smith's election, class prophecies, and Brother Gilbert's sojourn at St. Joseph's Hospital, all worked havoc with our es- teemed weekly. We are still claiming distinc- tions. Our latest boast is that we are the only class in school that has been able to claim the atten- tion of the entire teaching staff. We succeeded in roping in Brother Owen to teach history during the absence of our regular teacher. . . t PHONE 805 I PHONE 805 PUT ON I F IRESTON E TIRES MOST MILES PER DOLLAR Distributors EIGI-IT-O-F IVE TIRE CO.

With this issue of the Echo we bid adieu to our readers until next year, when we hope our perfect thirty-six will be able to intro- duce ourselves as juniors. We are confident that by continued appli- cation both in school and at home, there will be none of the class of '23 to be found lacking when the J une examinations are over. FRESHMEN No doubt the change in the schedule of our classes is conven- ient for the faculty, but it is incon- venient for us. Now that spring has come, and with it the season of baseball, we are looking forward to a practice of the national sport every afternoon, but since our Algebra class is now the last hour, there may be times when an ex- tended period may cut short our afternoon practice. Anyhow, we hope to be able to beat the Fort Wayne professional team, and since Harry Swift has been chosen for pitcher, and Cleston Erb for catcher, there should be no doubt about our success. David Eckert with his usual ambition in regard to athletics, is trying hard for the position of manager. Whether he will get the position or not will be determined by the amount of interest he shows in the organiza- tion of the team. Many of us seem to have lost for our books that special fondness which we showed just before the last examinations. If good scholarship depended on the amount of chewing gum con- sumed. Louis Belot and Howard Pauley would tie for first place. Is it interest alone that has made u 11 ECHO l us work out the prose problems inn Algebra, and to spend two or three hours in the solution of one prob-A lem, or is the fear of a half hour's detention after school? Ask the Freshmen. Has anyone yet fallen a victim to spring fever? If not, there is hope for us now that the first hot spell has passed. The Sophomores tell us that one of the teachers has used the ex- pression. You're almost as bad as the Freshmen. We think that the word good should be sub- stituted for bad Ralph Torres is beginningto use his pencil and paper in class, a proof that he is becoming familiar with English. We think that there are some among us who would wish to be in his shoes, and in order to escape work to give for excuse, HN o understand Engleeshf' Raymond Herber, after sitting immovable for six months, has at last shown signs of life, for the other day he and Herman Brown came near bumping.

The C. C. H. S. never had, perhaps, better basket- ball material than it had this year, but yet in spite of very efficient coaching and steady practice the team could do no better than break even. Ralph Miller, the old reliable forward on the K. of C. quintet, the Central States Champions, taught the varsity the game from every angle, but yet it didn't deliver. We take this opportunity to express our appre- ciation and thanks for his efforts in behalf of the team, and we wish him every success in his role of third baseman on the Philadelphia National League baseball team. The Team In Paul Miller and Ralph Neeb the varsity had two forwards who worked together like veterans. Both were always greatly out- weighed, but they were fast enough to run circles around guards pitted W. against them. Miller especially was a marvel for speed and endur- ance. Paul seemed to be every- where at once. He probably would have been the leading scorer in every game had he not hurried his shots too much. Neeb was the best shot on the team, and in every game he could be counted on for at least four baskets. , Ralph didn't get his chance on the team until the middle of January, but his work has proved that he deserved a regular berth. In the early part of the season Koehl, captain and center, didn't make as impressive a record as his playing last year led us to expect. Towards the middle of the season, however, Pud began hitting his old stride, and from then on he couldn't be stopped. Next year should be his banner year in basketball. DeWald played forward last season, but he was shifted to running guard this year. In the early games George was a regular whirlwind, but after a week's ill- ness he had difficulty in coming back to his early season form. There is a practical, clever gift here for anyone you desire to remember ....

Boland was unable to play bask- etball last year because of albadly broken arm. This year his arm was still weak, but Gob made the team without any trouble. He played a strong game at back guard on every occasion, but he was at his best in the Indianapolis game. According to reports, Mau- rice didn't win the games for us, but he kept the Cathedral High quintet from winning, which comes to about the same thing. Sebastian Miller was regular running guard last year, but injur- ies received in football kept him out of a basketball uniform this season until the middle of January. Sub had all his old time aggres- siveness, but his late start handi- capped him somewhat. Always reliable, he gave a good account of himself in every game that he played. Rinehart came to us after com- pleting the commercial course at St. Peter's. Although he didn't get into many games because of Koehl's work at center, his shoot- ing ability and his working under the basket showed that he will be a valuable man next year. Games Saturday night, February 5th, was the biggest night in C. C. H. S. basketball history when two of the best games ever staged at Li- brary Hall afforded two hours of entertainment. In the opener the Super Six, a sextet composed of alumnae of St. Augustine's Acad- emy, triumphed by a score of 15 to 9 over the M. I. X., composed of ECHO students of St. Augustine's and of St. Catherine's academies. The game was very fast and abounded in fine passing and good shooting. In the second game the Cathed- ral High of Indianapolis won from the varsity, 24 to 20. In order to describe the game appropriately, a new set of sporting adjectives would have to be coined, for the contest was without doubt the best ever played on our floor. Ca- thedral High started the scoring when Hartnett looped one from under the basket. A minute later Trenck added another point on a free throw. ,Then the varsity got going and Neeb rang up two field goals in quick succession, giving the C. C. H. S. a one-point lead. From then on it was an even battle, with the lead switching contin- ually. The first half ended 12 up. In the second half the Indian- apolis quintet started strong, and in a short time was a few points ahead, but the C. Cfs came right back and tied the score at 17 and again at 18. With but a few min- utes to play the visitors started a determined spurt that put the game out of danger. The game was exceedingly fast, but it was slowed up somewhat by too strict an enforcement of rules. The contest was the cleanest ever played here this year, and yet Trench and Ruckelhaus of the Indianapolis quintet, and Paul Miller of the varsity were forced to retire because of so-called per- sonal fouls. Every member of both teams played fine ball, but the work of Hartnett stood out prominently for the visitors, while Boland, Neeb, and P. Miller were our luminaries.

The C. C. H. S. colors were low- ered once more by Fort Wayne High at St. Paul's court on Feb- ruary 11th. The game was hotly contested, but superior team play gave the victors a 30 to 18 deci- sion. Both teams kept the throng of fans on edge by spectacular long distance shooting. Koehl and Neeb each made eight points on shots from the middle of the rectangle, while Morse and Hosey did most of the scoring for Fort Wayne High. The St. Rose High of Lima was unfortunate in playing the C. C. H. S. on a night when all the breaks of the game came our way. Paul Miller and Ralph Neeb, giving an exhibition of shooting such as has seldom been seen on our court, sent the ball through the circle from all angles. The boys from the Buckeye state fought all the way, but the final whistle found them trailing 33 to 7. Cn February 25th the varsity played a return game with Mon- roe H. S., champions in the dis- trict tournament held at Bluffton. The C. C.'s were as well acquainted with a class room as the Monroe boys were, but they never at- tempted to play basketball in one, hence they returned with a 60 to 22 defeat. Boland, DeWald, and Sub Miller were on the sick list, and Graf of the Freshmen team, ECHO ,and.iIhHord of the Sophonunes took their places at guards. . In the final game of the season the members of the '13 varsity came out of their retirement and attempted to show the kids how they used to win games for the C. C. H. S. in their day. The old boys went about it very seriously, and Jerry Miller rounded up his caging artists for several hard workouts. The result was that the grads put up a good exhibition of team work and endurance. The varsity, however, was too fast and won out 24 to 18. C. C. H. S. C241 '13 Varsity C18J 535 D359 fats Q-E32 ' . cp' . -::'.. .NN ' !. . I. . O HH S gr P' SS?

Mr. Martin Cleary visits the hospital so frequently that we are afraid that there is still something wrong with this leg. There are two kinds of pencils popular in the Senior Class: the Eversharp and the Neversharp. Logic is making the Seniors and Juniors hard-headed. It forces them to produce concrete thoughts and ideas. If the professor of Vergil pursues his latest policy some of the Seniors will learn Latin in spite of them- selves. ECHO The reason Joe Mungovan is late for class is because said class begins before he arrives. Rinehart says he spends nine hours every night on Caesar. We knew he was a long sleeper but we did not expect him to admit it. What has become of some of the class rings and pins of the Seniors? Just take one guess and you'll get it right. A sophomore got an idea one day, and wrote this: Here lies what's left Of Ima Few 5 She tried to make Her own home brew. The four lines Knot the labeled articlej furnished inspiration for the active mind of Eddie Baker, and he wrote out this meditaion: Home Brew First introduced in the year 1918, home brew has now become the hobby of about every man who is unable to satiate his thirst with soda pop or coco-cola. Living in that vast region once called the United States, but recently chang- ed into an arid waste by the Vol- stead Act, men had to turn to something to keep up the vivid red glow of the olfactory organ, and consequently resorted to many and divers substitutes for the old time nose paint. Ethyl Alcohol was denied them and treated to a dose of Bichloride of Mercury, thereby making it extremely killing. As an improve- ment, Bay Rum was mixed with Tartar Emetic, but it proved to be a whole lot harder to keep down than the truth, because that par- ticular drug has powerful rising qualities.

YOUNG 1034 Calhoun Street Corner Jefferson Street 36 THE ECHO A those containing not less than fifty per cent alcohol, were tried next, but being a little bad to the taste, are now used only in a-pinch. At this juncture Jamaica Ginger came into its own and flourished for a while, but the Prohi Chronics got wise and Jamaica Ginger Ccalled by its patrons '4Jake for short? received the K. O. Now as a last resort men have turned to home brew, which at the present time is extremely popular. . Home brew is a concoction of anything and almost everything under the sun, that may in any shape, form, or size give a kick to the finished product. This finished product is boiled down to steam, which is eventually bottled, and which is supposed to be the fully equipped thing. Raisins and yeast are indispensible. The process has to be carried on in cellars, because catacombs are very rare in this part of the country, which is less favored by Dame Nature than our sister state, Kentucky, and because the consequences of being caught are not particularly gratifying. As a rule the unlucky one is separated from not a few simoleums, and is bequeathed a sojourn of some months duration in the Federal Jug. Some home brew has a kick like a million dollar cow, and produces the desired jag in two or three in- ternal applications. Again, there are other varieties, one shot of which will knock one clean across the Styx, requiring none of Old Charon's ferrying to do it either. The brand in which Denatured Alcohol is used is hard on the eyes, and rather wearing on the rest of one's anatomy. At its worst, how- ever, home brew has nothing on that one-half of one percent Kill- 'em-quick now served to the pub- lic, disguised as almost beer, nicknamed Prohi Juice. When you see two men sneak off to a secluded corner to compare notebooks, fear not, for they are not detectives 3 they are only two home-brewers comparing their re- cipes in an attempt to imitate that most ambrosial of extinct bever- ages Cremove your hats and say this in a solemn tonej Beer.

Inter-Class Baseball League After many arguments, support- ers of a class baseball league won over those in favor of a school team, and a real live series of games is now in progress. Each class is represented by a team, and each team gets into action once a week. Bernard Roth is president of the league, and his assistants are the captains of the different nines. Two series of contests will be played, and the winner of the first series will play the winner of the second for the championship. Fine Photos Framing VAN DE GRIFT PHONE 543 218 W. BERRY ST. Kodak Finishing Gifts WHO PAYS THE RENT? There is no standard price of furniture-every dealer sets his own price, according to his rent and other overhead expenses-and that's why prices vary. The customer pays all the expenses in any store. LOW RENT-LOW PRICES There is no other way we know of to bring furniture prices down where they belong-and still keep Quality-than to get away from the exorbitantly high rents of the downtown district.
