24 THE livre the half-back, Donahue the quarter-back, with Suelzer and Rhinehart as subs on the line, show the peppisimo of the sophs in athletics. 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.

26 THE ECHO Ag 8139.1 Wfff I iii Football Our football history for this year is much like an obituary column. 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. Pat
