Ile little knew the sorrow that was in his vacant chair: Ile never guessed they'd miss him, or he'd surely have been there: Ile couldn't see his mother or the lump that filled her throat, Or the tears that started falling as she read his hasty noteg And he couldn't see his father, sitting sorrowful and dumb, Or he never would have written that he thought he couldn't come. He little knew the gladness that his presence would have made, And the joy it would have given or he never would have stayed. He didn't know how hungry had the little mother grown, Once again to see her baby and to claim him for her own. i He didn't guess the meaning of his visit Christ- mas Day - Or he never would have written that he couldn't get away. He couldn't see the fading of the cheeks that once were pink, And the silver in the tressesg and he didn't stop N to think How the years are passing swiftly, and next Christmas it might be There would be no home to visit and no Mother dear to see. He didn't think about it-I'll not say he didn't care, He was heedless and forgetful or he'd surely have been there. Are you going home for Christmas? Have you H written you'll be there? Going home to kiss the mother and to show her that you care? Going home to greet the father in a way to make him glad? If you're not I hope there never comes a time you'll wish you had. just sit down and write a letter-it will make their heart strings hum VVitl1 a tune of perfect gladness-if you'll tell them that you'll come. . -Submitted by'NoRBERT NYELCH.

Thoughts . In every village, regardless of its size, there always is some simple home which has a halo of respect encircling it. Such a home is reverenced by the most hard- hearted of the community. Burton had several such homes but there was one poor but cozy cottage noted for the kind widow that lived there. Her name was Mrs. McGinity, nevertheless she did not pos- sess that rigidity of will which character- ized the people of her ancestry. Her only son, john, was lead astray while young because his mother allowed him his own way too often. john soon wandered away from the narrow path of virtue and took the easier highway of vice. After forging many checks in his own town, he was detected and sent to spend a term in jail. He jumped his bond and went to the slums of a near-by city, where he was shelteredfrom the search of de- tectives. Mrs. McGinity, in her grief for the loss of her beloved boy, felt conscience bound to repay the men who had given the money for her boy's bond. Her kind husband left only their residence, as he was on the bot- tom oft the ladder when he died. The widow mortgaged her home and for almost twenty long years she worked in almost servitude to pay off her debt. It was at the end of the score of years, and the day before Christmas, when the kind old lady sat meditating of happier days, before the fireplace. She recalled to memory the mornings she used to wake john, so that he could serve early mass in the village church. Especiallylon Christ- mas she would accompany him and kneel before the altar. When the small family gathered around the crib of jesus and there lay gifts before Him, and pray that their happiness should ever last thus. In the' midst of her meditation she uttered aloud, John, john, come to your broken-hearted mother, you cannot realize the torture and .ECHO pain you are causing me, lest you would not return. ' ' john had never written to his mother, on account of the fact that he always tried to make one more robbery and then return with the amount of his bond to his mother. But ere he could escape he was traced and had to serve another term in prison. When he completed his years of servitude for his last forgery, he determined to return home, even though he might not own the clothes that he wore on his back. Accordingly, John boarded an under- slung chair car for his home town. Ar- riving at the railroad yards of his village, he accidentally slipped in his hurry to get away from the watchman. His right leg was completely severed from his body. He was picked up by his own mother, who was gathering stray bits of coal which had fallen from the passing engines. Not rec- ognizing her son because of his long growth of beard, she opened his coat to find some means of identification. She found a photograph of herself, which she had given to her son when he was but a child. She embraced him and exclaimed: My boy, my prayer has been answered. but you have paid dearly for your wild lifefl john was rushed to the hospital, and the mother and son spent Christmas Day in the convalescent ward, relating to each other reminiscences of happier days. Mother, your countenance portrays still that beauty of my childhood days,,that I cherish, and it is beauty grown old with the wrinkles of my thoughtlessnessf' We all err, Johnfg' replied the mother in a sweet voice. What more heavenly simplicity is im- plied in that sentence, when a mother for- gives in a second the wrongs that the prod- igal son took years to do! Yet this forgiveness cannot be compared with the forgiveness of Our Divine Lord, who was born on Christmas Day for our redemption. at ' ' ' I CLARENCE KALIKER, '24. 0 1000 IVHIQQ QQAR THE Christmas 'Twas when the world peace attention tore, The Christ Child in swaddling garments did ' lay, And there his Virgin Mother in a manger bore, The rebukes of the people uttered on Ilis birthday. The shepherds tending their flock at night Ilecame startled when heavenly voices they i heard, And saw in the sky a star shining so bright, ' When the angel told them to part and leave ' their herd. Peace on earth to men of good will greeting The angels to the shepherds at His birth they said, Be this our salutation to men when meeting Ere naught the angel's voice avail us in our 4 stead. J - ALFRED GARDNER, '24, ' 4, ,f,K' . , V , ,-.faq-, A Real Christmas It waspthe eve of.C.hristmas, but this did not hold any great enjoyment for Jim- mie Clark, who sold corner and about the to support his mother, newspapers on the near neighborhood, his only friend. Paper, paper, cried Jimmie to the passers-by. Of course Jimmie had a few regular customers and on any great feast or holiday like Christmas, New Year's or Easter, they would give him quarters and dollar bills and tell him to keep the change. The night grew colder and the paper dispenser felt it too. The snow began to fall faster and faster, and it seemed like each flake tried to beat each other to the ground. About a half hour afterwards. while walking along the boy discovered a black object lying in the snow. lYonder- ing what it was he stopped and picked it up. Brushing the snow off of it he opened it. Neatly folded inside he saw a check from a trust companyffor S1.000.00 and also two ten-dollar bills. Lapping a fold ECHO 1 1 of the pocketook he saw the name of James Hronson. Uh, that's the nice man that always gives me tips. Jimmie, prompted by his conscience, and being an honest boy turned to give and place the money in the owners hands. Running as fast as he could, Jlllllllif: at last arrived before a very large resirlenffe. He was admitted by a maid. and asked to see Mr. lironson. The maid called him and in a few seconds he appeared. Hello, boy, what can I do for you Mr. Bronson said in a cheery voice. Did you miss anything quizzed Jim. Not that I know of-wait. he said, searching his pocket. Oh, I lost my pock- etbook with a thousand-dollar check in it. Don't be alarmed, for I have a present foryou. I guess this is your pocketbookf' Jimmie informed him. Bless ye, boy. such luck. and as a re- turn gift you and your mother must spend Christmas Day with me as it is lonely here. said Mr. Bronson. Hurray! Thanks, I'1l go and tell mother. Jimmie hurried home to break the good tidings to his mother. who lived in a tenement house in the slum district. Mother, we're going to have a great Christmas this year. Here both invited out to Mr. Bronson's for the day. Oh. it will be great. The next morning found the ground white with two feet of snow. Jimmie and his mother went to church with their hearts Iilled with happiness. About ten o'clock they went to the house of Mr. Bronson. Here they were received with the greatest hospitality and welcome. There were all sorts of fruit. nuts and candies to eat. and to make everything cheery there was a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Sit down and tell me of your troubles and experiences. said Mr. Bronson. Mrs. Clark began: lYell. shortly after we were married my husband was kid- 12 THE E650 naped on his way home from his work. At this Mr. Bronson started. A nation-wide hunt was made for him, but to no avail. I then was forced to work and earn my own living and the boy's. When the boy was old enough he started out to sell papers to assist me in the up- keep of our little home. Well, this is indeed a surprise for me. What was your husband's name ? ques- tioned Mr. Bronson. Harry, the mother answered. Isn't your name Lucille ? asked Mr. Bronson. Yes Well, I am your husband who has been kidnapedf' Thanks be to God, they exclaimed as they embraced each other. Harry, tell me about yourself. After I was abducted I was carried to Alaska, where I was put to work in a gold mine, and guarded all the time very closely. But I managed after a while to escape to a point farther north in Alaska, where I secured a thousand acres of land to work. It was rich in gold and coal so that is the reason why I am living here in luxury. I, upon my return, looked for you, but as it was tive years hence, I didn't have any luck until I had the luck of hav- ing Jimmie find my pocketbook and return it to me, with you later. This is surely a real Christmasj' said Jimmie, as he started an attack on another box of candy.-NORBERT SUELZER, '26. The Beautiful Christmas Surprise The snow had fallen all day, as it al- ways seems to do before Christmas. The roofs of the village were snow-capped, the chimneys were pouring forth black smoke, and lights were beginning to appear in the windows. The inhabitants were going home-all were happy, their faces iiushed with excitement, all were carrying bundles. In one lonely cabin at the edge of the town, four children pressed their faces to the window. Darkness set inland Santa Claus began operations. After the supper dishes were cleared away, they huddled around a small wood fire. They were discussing the probabilities of a visit from Santa. The snow and the fact that they had been good children-why shouldn't he come? The loving mother gave but a sigh, she had nothing to give them and their tiny poor hearts would be broken. The mother told them the story of Him who lay in the manger of old in Bethlehem, on a Christmas Day. She led them softly off to bed and dropped a tear on their cheeks as she bade them good night. She knelt at her bed and prayed that the Holy Child of Bethlehem would send the Santa, not as the kind benefactor of the story-books but in the form of her hus- band, who had not been home for the last live years. On the fast express, annihilating space, was a care-worn man, deep in thought, mindful of the occasion but thinking only of his wife and children. He was a victim of a miscarriage of justice. The wheels of justice move on the honor and truth of wit- nesses, but sometimes they perjure, as in his case. He told his wife nothing of his pardon from prison. The train came to a sudden stop and the man gathered up his numerous packages and boxes. The conductor said Merry Christmas to him as he disappeared in the darkness. Silently he entered the humble cottage, his home. He decorated the Christmas tree and placed about presents for all. I will not attempt to describe the joy of the meeting of this father and his happy family. ' They attended three masses Christmas as a token of thanksgiving to the new-born Babe of Bethlehem for his kindness. The spirit of the yule-tide in the family pre- vailed not only for the day but for the entire year. So it is with any home that has so devout a mother. FRANCIS CORBETT, '26. THE ECHO 13 The Value of a Dollar Jimmie and I were hard workers. We ran errands, helped in the fields, sold pa- pers, etc. But we were doing all this for an ultimate end. john Barns owned a horse. Although its bones stuck out of its sides in conglom- erated bumps, we thought it to be one of the finest horses in the city. Best of all, the horse was for sale, but john refused to talk business with us, because we were not big enough. He wanted people who had money for his prospective buyers, not kids. Although our business did not flourish, we kept plugging along. One night, after we had earned the great sum of ten cents, we met John in the store. He looked at us with a sneer on his face and said: Do you still desire to be mas- ters of that horse ? We-.answered-him -by saying, Do fish like water ? i . , When you get some capital, I will talk business with you. With this remark he left us. We kept on with the good work and finally had enough to talk business with John. The next night we arrayed ourselves in the best attire and departed with joyful feelings. W'e rapped rather timidly on the door and waited expectantly. john appeared and looked at us with a grin. We are ready to come to terms, said I. Hes looked dumfounded, but asked us to come into the house. Shoot, he said as he hunched himself into a chair. Mr: Barnes, we want to buy the horse. but you must throw in the harness and a rig. - How much do you intend to pay me for this horse ? One dollar, I replied with some pride. All that could be heard from John was a groan and he fell from his chair. B EUGENE HUSSELMAN. 'Z-1. Cathedral School lllistorical Sketchp 'l'he Cathedral School of l-'ort Wayne was founded in the year 1846 by the Very Reverend julian Benoit. Being a zealous advocate of Christian education and ani- mated by his characteristic zeal for relig- ion, he resolved to establish a school for the younger portion of his flock in which the science of a secular education should be blended with religious and moral train- ing. He accordingly erected a small frame building Z0 by 30 feet. As the pecuniary resources of the parish were very limited he defrayed the expenses of building and maintaining the school largely from his personal revenues. A competent instructor was procured who conducted the school till june. 1852. ' It became apparent that the existing fa- cilities were inadequate for the rapidly in- creasing number of scholars and that a larger corps of teachers was necessary. . To supply this demand. Father Benoit procured three Brothers of Holy Cross from Notre Dame. the members of whose community have ever since retained charge of the school. The frail frame building soon gave way to more commodious quarters when the present spacious structure tThe Old Broth- ers' Schooli was erected in 1858. A commercial department was added to the primary grades with the view of aiding young men in preparing themselves for the mercantile profession. Scores of suc- cessful business men have received their coznmercial training in this department. The total number of those who completed their studies in this institution exceeds two thousand. tThis was nearly thirty years ago.l There are at present seven teachers em- ployed in the school. tive in the primary grades and two in the commercial depart- ment. The school is well equipped with such 14 THE aids and appurtenances. as are deemed req- uisite by modern educators for successful teaching. No pains are spared to develop those tal- ents of which a pupil may give evidence. The maintenance of discipline receives particular attention, all scholars arere- quired to observe the regulations of the school. ' These regulations are calculated to ren- der the pupils courteous, honorable and respectful. The chief aim of the discipline in force is to habituate them to manners that will distinguish them as upright and virtuous young men who will reflect credit upon their parents and their school. The pupils have access to Library Hall, which was erected at a cost of about 580,000 by the Very Reverend Joseph Brammer, the present Administrator of the Diocese of Fort VVayne. This imposing edifice contains a large library well stocked with the choicest literature, a reading room, gymnasium, a beautiful chapel for the ex- clusive use of the children, also an exhi- bition and lecture hall with a seating ca- pacity of about one thousand. There are about three hundred and twenty pupils enrolled whose ages range from six to seventeen years.-Quoted from Brothers of Holy Cross C1895b. CEditor's Note :-The book, Brothers of' Holy Cross, was prepared in connection with the celebration of Fort Wayne's Cen- tennial Year in November, 1895. Its his- torical pages are highly illuminated in four colors.

Jos. PEPE, '25, .ECHO Music Music is a kind of optimistic harmonizer which, the more we listen to, the more it attracts us. It is the 'fsoothing syrupu of our everyday life. It is the one thing which steps in between our mental and physical occupations. Many people will con- sider baseball and such games as the real harmonic , but that is because they have- n't tried music. In school life music is a necessity. Since our last year's seniors have been so suc- cessful several of the classes are endeav- oring to replace them. The attempt has been entirely satisfactory for now we can boast of tivo glee clubs instead of one, the sophomores and the seniors. The former showed their wares at the commencement last year and so have a lead on the seniors. However, that means nothing. Here is where the three P's can become useful. In music, like anything else, practice is probably the most necessary. Sometimes a boy has an idea how music should be sung. Let us take something new, he says. And when he gets up to sing, the idea' is lost through nervousness. fore, fellow members of the glee clubs, let us never forget that when we There- sing' and wish for success and wish to be one of those optimistic harmonizers we must practice, practice, practice. A just a few words about the orchestra. There are certain years when this school is gifted with many musicians. So at such times of plenty the future years are neglected. Now music is an art that is worth more than dollars. Dollars can be earned from music. But letting the pe- cuniary idea drop a knowledge of music has comforted many lonely hours when books were unavailable. So it is hoped the freshman particularly, but of course anyone else, should get an instrument and practice. He'll never be sorry for doing so. For Real Basket Ball, see the Alumnz Game.

S. opened its 1923 foot- ball season. For almost two weeks after the opening of school, the team was without a coach. and uncertainty as to whether there would be a coach prevailed. At last. on Septem- ber l8th. the school hailed with rejoicings and renewed enthusiasm the news that Frank Doriot, an alumnus. and one who has been under the mentorship of K. R. Rockne for four years at Notre Dame. had oiiered his services as coach. XYith discouraging obstacles facing him from all sides the coach started on his up- hill work. The success of the football team. the new school spirit. the new enthusiasm of the alumni for their alma mater. the spirit of clean and manly sportsmanship. and many other good etiects of the season are largely. if not entirely. due to lfrank. our coach. Frank has little to say in the matter-he attributes it all to the boys . After less than two weeks of practice under our coach a team was placed on the gridiron to meet our first opponents. 16 THE That game showed up the weaknesses and the inexperience of many of our players. Many left at the end of the game saying that C. C. would not have a team this year to uphold the old standard. If the first game of the season showed up the ignorance of many of the players as to the tactics and knowledge of the game, the last game showed and proved what can be accomplished with ardent and continuous practice and study of the game. The team that represented the school in the last game has been acknowledged by sports writers and followers of the game to be one of the cleanest, fightiest, and brainiest football organizations in high school circles. The followers of our team have watched with price and increasing confidence the continual improvement in the method. styQe anc. spirit of our team, which was disolayec. the field. s Though we must attribute very much of the success to our coach . yet we can- not overlook the members of the team that every time the team walked on made possible the success. The boys dis- played at all times a line spirit of will- ingness to be advised by the coach and put in practice what he taught them. Very few have, if any, missed without a very good excuse the regular practices and lec- tures. Their spirit of co-operation with the coach, and their readiness to yield to the training offered were two of the great factors in the success of the season. Remember the Alumni-Varsity Game. Bushman Bushman is a player brave and boldg In scrimmage he does what he is told. In the game he takes the ball, Making sure he doesn't fall, Then scores for the purple and gold. -LUKE BELOT, '24, Read what the local papers say about the Alumni Game. -u , ECHO Our Coach ' All the honors that have come to us have been made possible by the earnest and fruitful efforts of our coach, Frank Dofiot. 'Rather than see his Alma Mater, where he was a star during his high school days, sink beneath the waves of football oblivion due' to the need of a coach, Frank, as he is known to his boys, took over the job and together with his natural ability and spirit to succeed, turned out the most successful team that Central Catholic has ever had. To him we extend our sincerest thanks. The fighting spirit and bulldog tenacity displayed by the team was the wonder and delight of all who saw them play. Every man ,gave his best while he was in. It was this fighting spirit, the embodiment of Doriot's personality, that brought suc- cess and glory to Central Catholic in a greater measure than did C. C.'s superb team of 1922. JAMES KELKER, '24. THE ECHO 17 Summary of the Games Sr:if'i'iciviisi-:ie 28 C. C. H. S., 56. Decatur Catholic lligh, fl. After only two weeks of gruelling prac- tice under our new coach, lfrank Doriot, C. C. H. opened its football season on September 28th with a game with Decatur Catholic High School. Doubts as to the final result of the con- test were soon quelled when Graf oh the kick-off received the ball on his own thir- ty-yard line and fought his way through his opponents for the first touchdown. The Decatur boys proved weak on the defensive, which resulted in our boys pil- ing up a score of 56-0. Only one time during the game, when C. C. was playing its third-string men, did their opponents come within striking distance of the goal, only to lose the ball on downs on the five- yard line. Though it was seemingly an easy victory it showed that C. C. was yet weak in many places. OCTOBER 6 C. C. H. S., 12g Payne Public High, 12. Immediately after the Decatur game Coach Doriot set about in strengthening his team in preparation for the Payne con- test. The Payne team had played together for the past three years and was under the mentorship of Bob Brady, a former Notre Dame football star. On Saturday, October 6th, C.. C. met their worthy opponents from Ohio on the Lincoln Life field. Both teams displayed the same style of football throughout the game, which ,resulted in a 12-12 score. Copenhaver of Payne in the second quar- ter skirted our end for twenty yards and the first touchdown. Pequignot scored the first touchdown for C. C., also in the second quarter. by carry- ing the ball over his opponents' goal line after the C. C. backs, by line plunges and timely forward passes. brought the oval from their own twenty-yard line. Bushman, our star half-back. in the third quarter made a spectacular catch of a seem- . ' . , ' ingiy inipossilhe forward pass from firaf. Reaching up, on zt de-:ul run and mal-:ing .l complete turn in the air, he pifkv-fl the ball out of spare. .Xfter rf-gaining his bal- ance he fought his way through thi- opp,- nents' secondary defense and frossefl the coveted goal line. liirkhold, l'ayne's brilliant fpiztrterharl-1. scored the last touchdown when he inter- cepted a forward pass of liushman's and raced down the field for seventy yards across our goal line. Or 'romzk 13 C. C. H. S.. 25: Toledo C. C. H. S.. 6. Un October 13th Toledo Central Cath- olic High School gridmen were our guests on Lincoln Life field. The Toledo aggre- gation came to lfort XX'ayne with full de- termination to revenge the defeat admin- istered to them by Bushman the previous year. Wfhen the initial whistle blew there were two evenly matched teams ready' for the fray. It was Bushmans game. XYith contin- uous grinding and cooperation of his team- mates he once more administered the bitter medicine of defeat . Sweeping around the ends, piercing the line. passing the ball over their heads. catching the oval in their midst, Bushman registered the four touch- downs which tolled the death of the Toledo- lites. Only when Bushman. due to injuries. was removed from the game in the last quarter were the powerful opponents able to carry the ball over the goal line for their lonely six points. QTCTOBER .25 C. C. H. S.. 15 Payne Public High. 0. The Payne High School. desirous of proving their superiority over the Purple and Gold on the football tield. invited us to a return game. On October 25th we were their guests on their own home grounds. It was an ideal football day. The air was crisp with a slight breeze stirring. Both teams were ready for the combat. The 18 THE ECHO initial whist'e found the vqarrlors of both camps on their tces pranclng' about eager to grasp their opp ineits in a death strug- gle, for neither had yet known defeat. The first half was a battle for life, neither team yielding their opponents a point. Early in the second half it was evident tnat the Paynites were no longer able to bear up under the continuous onslaught of the Purple and Gold. C. C., taking the ball deep in their own territory, slashed and cnopped the forward wall of their oppo- nents to pieces, and drove the Paynites to their own ten-yard line. where Volz, our heady little quarterback, emerged from the struggling mass and tossed a pass to Waite, Who was waiting behind the goal line. Not an opponent was within five yards of the receiver. Graf failed to tally the extra point. In the third quarter C. C. took advan- tage of their opponents' weakened condi- tion and drove them again to their ten-yard line, where Bushman made one of his fa- mous end hikes for the second and final touchdown. Waite dropped back to regis- ter the final tally. NOVEMBER 2 C. C. H. S., 24, Decatur Catholic H. S., 7. On November 2nd our gridmen jour- neyed to Decatur to meet again the much improved Decaturites. Though the hosts proved to be stronger than when we first met them, they fell an easy prey to our fleet-footed backfield men. When the final whistle blew the score stood Decatur 7, C. C. H. S., 24. NOVEMBER 9 C. C. H. S., 32, Huntington H. S., 12. On November 9th Huntington High School football aggregation visited Fort VVayne with one of the manliest and most sportsmanlike teams that ever placed foot on the Lincoln Life gridiron. Brilliant open field running marked the game. It was a battle between the fleet- footed backfields, with Bushman and Peq- uignizt taking turns in showing their heels to their opponents. Berghoff, who until this game had shown a mediocre style of f obali, tore through the Huntington line and dropped the opposing backs in their tracks, many times before they even took a step. , Bucher, Huntington's quarterback, re- vea'ed speed that at times surpassed that of Bushman. His brilliant runs often paced the ball within reach of the goal and twice he carried it over. Huntington's gains were made almost entirely on tricky mixed plays that were bewildering because of the speed and accu- racy with which they were executed. They made their nrst touchdown in the latter part of the second quarter. Gur iirst touchdown came soon after the game was started. Graf kicked the ball over Huntington's goal line and Hunting- ton punted from their twenty-yard line. Bushman returned the kick for thirty-five yards, then went through the line for sixf teen more. On the next play Pequignot followed Bushman to the one-yard line. From here Bushman skirted the end for a touchdown. At the opening of the second half Hunt- ington stzpped a series of long end runs and held us for downs. After a series of their mystifying plays they scored their second touchdown. Un the kick-off which followed Huntington's onslaught C. C. re- ceived the ball. Bushman and Pequignot took turns in skirting around the ends for gains which netted fifty-tive yards and a touchdown. Bushman made the final score when he flashed through his opponent's iirst and sec- ondary defense for a sixty-five yard run and a touchdown. A NOVEMBER 11 C. C. H. S., 403 Montpelier Public High, 6. After a two-day. rest C. C. H. S. grid- warriors Hbussedi' over to Montpelier to assist in the celebration of Armistice Day, THE ECHO 2 l by playing the Montpelier Public High School team. Montpelier surprised our boys in the first two minutes of the game by their fierce defensive tactics. On our first attempt at the aerial game one of their halfbacks speared the oval as it floated over the scrimmage line. He fought his way through the entangled mass of struggling players and raced down the field for fifty yards and a touchdown. C. C. H. S. went to Montpelier to give the spectators an exhibition of classical football, so Bushman, Pequignot and Kel- ker set about to accomplish their intentions. Montpelier's touchdown only proved to be an incentive to goad on our fleety trio of backs. Bushman had the opponents tag- ging after him for the remainder of the game. Every now and then he would spurt around the ends like a streak of lightning for forty, fifty, sixty or eighty yards. When he tired, Pequignot would take the ball and would try to imitate his team-mate by going around the ends for long gains. When he tired, he tossed the ball over the line to Bushman, who seemed to be every- where that his opponents were not. Kelker helped both by his splendid interference, passes and line plunges. The Montpelier boys fought constantly and fiercely to stave off the evident defeat. Their splendid fighting and determination throughout the entire contest was the most spectacular feature of the game. NOVEMBER 17 C. C. H. S., Og Indianapolis, 6 f?l. NOVEINTIBER 22 C. C. H. S., 313 Alumni, 6. On our gala day, November 22nd, our football team found itself face to face with the toughest opponents of the season. The stars of former years were in battle array against their successors who wore the C. C. H. S. uniforms. Both teams determined to show their superiority in the sport. The Alumni had the advantage over the undergrads in several points. First, every- one had been playing every season since he left the school, some with the best infle- pentlent teams of the fity. Sefonfl. they outweighed the youngsters at i4'2lSl ten pvunrls to the matt. 'lhird. they had tit- experience of years, and were physifztlly in a harder condition. lint with all the-e advantages in their favor and with their desperate fighting they still were unable to stave off the onslaughts of the well-or- ganized undergrads. 'lhe youngsters proved superior in those fine points of the game which give a victory. The alumni were the first to score. 'lhey intercepted a forward pass and brought the ball to the undergrads' fifteen-yard line from where they fought their way to the two-yard line and were held for three downs. On the fourth down Koehl car- ried the oval over the line for the first touchdown. The next score was made just before the close of the second period when Loney. the undergrads' right half, speared Bush- man's pass and ran fifty yards for a touch- down. The first half of the battle was evenly fought and the prospects of defeating the youngsters looked bright for the alumni. The alumni had their signal system work- ing perfectly and their line was practically impenetrable. At the opening of the second half the undergrads launched an attack of forward passes which brought them to their oppo- nents' thirty-yard line. A pass from Graf to Bushman. who carried the ball over the line. netted them another six points. Logan. quarterback for the alumni. was unsuccessful in getting the ball away quickly enough for a forward pass and he fumbled. Berghoff. recovering the ball. raced forty yards for an additional six points. The Alumni received the kick-off but on the next play a pass was intercepted. The youngsters could not gain their ten yards and were forced to punt. The un- dergrads again intercepted a forward pass of the elders. but this time on a series of sweeping end runs carried the ball to the 22 THE 25-yard line. Bushman again received a pass from Graf and tallied another touch- down. From this point of the game the under- grads showed their superiority over the Alumni, whose forward wall was begin- ning to weaken. Continually the young- sters' backfield slashed through their line for substantial gains. After another touch- down the undergrads received a kick-off on their own live-yard line. Volz called for a forward pass. Graf after fumbling the ball for a time hurled the pigskin fifty yards into the ever waiting arms of Bush- man, who ran the rest of the way for the final touchdown of the game.

On November 29th, Thanksgiving, the fast Van Wert High School team formed our opposition. It was the final game of the season. Van Wert had established the reputation of having the best football ag- gregation in western Ohio. At the break of day no one could have wished a better day for football. The crisp morning air suggested a real snappy football perform- ance for the afternoon's entertainment. But ECHO as the hours went by, clouds began to darken the sky, soon a mist, and then a drizzling rain put hopes for a dry field into the glimmering. At noon a steady rain began to fall and when the whistle announced play to start it developed into a downpour. The gridiron was a sea of mud when both teams lined up for battle. f'When the mighty Bushman, appearing for the last time in a C. C. H. S. grid uni- form, took the ball over the line in the first quarter, a wail went up from the large crowd that stood shivering in the mud and heavy rain, for it was the first time this season that the Van Wert line had been crossed. Urged on by the loyal, dripping fans. the Van Wert team fought desper- ately. but Doriot's men were too much for them and the ball lingered near their end of the field a large part of the time. The second touchdown was one of the freakiest of the season. Graf had punted over the goal line and the ball was put in play on the twenty-yard line. Twice the Fort Wayne line broke through and the man with the ball was thrown for a loss. On the next play the Van Wert backfield man fumbled on the five-yard line and the ball rolled a couple of feet toward the goal. Out of the scrambling, slippery stack of players shot the big form of Captain Graf. VVith the ball under his arm and lying on his side, he slid about two yards to the goal line and two feet over for good measure. The field was covered with hard packed clay and in the driving rain it took on the appearance of high grade grease. Both teams had fast open field runners, but the condition of the field made it impossible to get away, for an attempt to turn meant a fall. Fumbles were frequent, one side making about as many as the other. Fort Wayne turned most of the fumbles to their advantage, however. Ever on the alert, they recovered most of their own fumbles and a large part of ,Van Wert's, Wlll WIEGMAN HI, M11 Xl W. 8 G.

Although the second period resolved it- self into a punting duel, Van Wert threat- ened twice during the last half. In the third period they drove the ball to the one-yard line, but Fort VVayne held and threw them back. Again, after Fort Wayne's second touchdown and just before the game ended, the game Ohioans started a desperate and intricate series of plays that netted them thirty yards before they were stopped. The Catholic seniors were given a chance in the game and played brilliantly in their last contest. They were Captain Graf, who played one of the best games of the year, Bushman, Kelker, Waite, Loney, Flick, McGrath, Volz, Ferguson, and Foo- hey. Handicapped by the heavy field, Bushman could not get away for his usual long runs, but he played one of the hard- est games of his career. Kelker, Waite and Loney gave their very best and Flick made a fine showing, for he was pitted against Hines, Van Wert's center, and one of the best men on his team. McGrath showed more than his usual fight and Volz, at quarter, led the team for the last time, but to a most admirable victory. Ferguson and Foohey fought like demons, being especially strong on tack- ling. The Van Wert team seemed to be built around Hines, their fighting center, who was flanked and bolstered by two good guards and the fat tackles . Eckenstein and Siples, in the backfield, did most of the gaining, although a forward pass, Ag- ler to Gunn, helped along. p Van Wert COD C. C. H. S. QIZJ Gunn ............,......... RE ...........

Tlllz' l:'C'll0 37 Election of the Captain A meeting of the football men was held December the third and the election of the grid captain for the year 1924 took place. McCormick, liergholl, Mulligan and l'eq- uignot were nominated. Un the first vote Berghoff and McCormick were eliminatel. 'l'he captaincy then rested between l'eq- uignot and Mulligan. 'I'he final votes were cast and Mulligan was elected by a plu- railty of fifteen votes. Anthony Mulligan has played three years on the varsity and throughout this time has been a steady, consistent player, and a valuable man to his team. Possess- ing these qualities he is well fitted for the position he now holds. His election was met with general acclamation by the stu- dent body as well as by the football squad. The awarding of monogram sweaters was discussed and a sweater of dark navy blue with a gold monogram was decided upon. Coach Doriot announced that only fifteen men would receive sweaters this year. Their names are to be disclosed at a banquet given the 11th of December at the Anthony Hotel by the K. of C. in honor of the team. C ORVAL XVAITE, '24. Honors Are Extended Catholic High Team With one hundred guests in attendance. the banquet given Dec. 11, at the An- thony hotel in honor of the Central Cath- olic High School football squad of thirty- six members proved a most enjoyable so- cial function. It was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and other local busi- ness men, Harry G. Hogan presiding as toastmaster. Formal announcement was made at the banquet by Athletic Director Frank S. Doriot of the fifteen members of the team awarded monograms by the C. C. H. S. Athletic Association. Rev. Thomas M. Conroy. rector of the Immaculate Conception. gave an eloquent address in which he reviewed the history of the Central Catholic High School under the direction of the Brothers of lloly tjross. He declared that the interest being mani- fe1ted in the school and its activities au- gurs well for the success of the institution and voiced the hope that the erection of a new high school building be realized in the future. Coach Frank S. lloriot stressed the im- portance of taking advantage of oppirtu- nities and urged the young men to stI'i'vc for success in their games. 'lille players were congratulated on their work during the season and friends present thanked for their kindly interest in the C C H. S. and the boys. Toastmaster Hogan spoke brietiy and in a retrospective vein of his student days at the old Brothers' School. also conducted by the Brothers of Holy Cross. lauding the spirit that has always prevailed among the students.

While explaining that there had been material improvements in the building and development in the scholastic work there was the same loyal, generous spirit that has always characterized the C. C. H. S. C. Byron Hayes dwelt on the recognition of the work of the high school and his brother, James Dawson Hayes, who is here on a visit from Washington, D.

A A Remember the Alumni Game. The Importance of Character November 22nd our Right Reverend Bishop encouraged all students of the Cen- tral Catholic High School to cultivate char- acter. This seems to us timely advice which each student ought to take to heart. No matter how powerful outside circum- stances act upon us, we must admit that our life proceeds from within, from our feelings, from our will, and from our pas- sions, which are love, hate, desire, aversion, joy, sadness, hope, despondency, courage, fear and anger. It is our will which controls our passions. It is our freedom which is a power belong- ing to man's will. justice which perfects the will, is a habit belonging to the will, disposing it to choose such things as are for our true good and for the securing our happiness. Therefore, justice is a gen- eralvirtue and includes all other virtues. A man whose intellect is perfected by prudence, whose appetites are governed by temperance, and who attempts with forti- THE ECHO 31 tude that which is lofty, and even perilous, has in himself the product of an ideal char- acter. The success of one man and the failure of another are due to character. Our daily little faults, which are nothing but the outcome of our character, spoil a life more surely than great and accidental mis- takes. On the other hand daily efforts, the persistence of which is due to character, will unfailingly lead to success. Hence character plays a leading part in life. It brings to you things to which men most aspire-happiness and power, joy of soul and social iniiuence. Don't Get Discouraged Don't let discouragement enter your heart. It is the worm that eats the rose of life in the bud. It is the water that wears away-the stone. It is the rust that crumbles the toughest iron. It is the dis- ease germ that poisons your blood and wrecks your life. Opportunities The world is full of opportunities for the man who dares. It was never richer in rewards than it is now. It never offered so many golden chances as it presents to- day. Whatever you do, inxwhatever di- rection your path leads you, always look forward. If today the skies are overcast, if the road is rough and hard, if the pros- pects seem dismally remote, harness the staunch little horse, Faith. ahead of Imag- ination and Common Sense, and it will help you pull your load out of the rut of despondency and discouragement. Punctuaiity Realizing that punctuality is a necessity as well as a virtue, the school' authorities have announced that they are going to take drastic action against the chronic offenders. It is a pity that this action is necessary. but there are some boys who persist in lie- ing tardy for the eight o'clofgl:. mass on XiVednesday morning and some also who are tardy for eight-thirty class on other morn- ings. Surely, when a boy is olfl enough to be in high school he is old enough to realize that it is important that he he on time. Latin lVhile some students rebel very forcibly against Latin and would thrust it aside if they could, its importance has been men- tioned too many times to repeat. Some of us study it with the sole idea of gaining a credit, others that they may go to col- lege and still others for the literary value that is gained from it. The latter, if pursued by the student. will be the gainer. In attaining this goal. he will incidentally accomplish all three purposes for by the study of Latin. he will secure all the art that is contained in it. By mastering the Latin vocabulary he will in this way comprehend the mean- ing of very many English words. on ac- count of the fact that the American lan- guage has a majority of words of Latin origin. Its importance is further demonstratezl by the coznmand of Holy Klothel' tile Church has decreed. that the Blass should be said in its tongue. In doing this she ob- literates any change that may come in the nieaning of the words of the other lan- guages. She keeps pace with the fact that Latin never changes. The mightiest empire of all time sp ike the Latin tongue and the textbooks give a vivid description of the Roman race. its customs. habits and the government. Thus the student avails himself more by pursuing the harder task of accomplish- ment. He DOI only gains a more complete knowledge of his mother tongue and the history of the Roman race. but also it helps him to concentrate. which is the secret of all study. CL.-xnizxcia IQALIKER. 'Z-L 32 THE ECHO Success in Study Aim for your 1nark, whether in busi- ness, athletics, studies, or any other form of human activities. There must first be formed in the mind a vision of what one desires to accomplish, the thing one wishes to perform, the heights one aspires to reach, before any notable success is attained. In other words, you must strike at something in order to gain anything worth while. Too many of us flounder around seeking to get somewhere, without, in a great many cases, knowing what it is all about. VVe are like a ship without a rudder, and our chances of making any given point are comparatively small, but, if our vision is clear, we will and must as long as we go along in our studies be thorough and painstaking, difficult as it seems at times, building a firm foundation for what we are sure is to follow. Step by step as we go along our vision becomes more clear to our view, making the task less trying and our results more tangible until our goal is within reach and our vision is a reality. JAMES Rov, '25. Politeness In all the walks of life, whether in a well-to-do gathering or in poor people's houses, politeness is to do and say the kindest things in the kindest way. It costs nothing to be polite. Most people are judged according to their manners, which come from being polite. Recommendations are given to men in general as to manners and the dignity with which they conduct themselves. The other sex always admires a man who possesses manners. Pleasing deportment goes a long way with people who appreciate politeness and good con- duct. We all have good teaching, i. e., teaching that has taught politeness to the young and old . By our politeness we advertise ourselves as being gentlemen. GEORGE FLICK, '24.

The Byzantine and Spanish Courts and the French Court particularly under the rule of Louis XIV and Louis XV were noted for the strictness with which they observed the laws and rules of etiquette. The Duchess de Noailles was nicknamed t'Madame Etiquette because of her rigid adherence to the formalities for the various ceremonies of the Court in the time of Ma- rie Antoinette. Social etiquette consists in so many mi- nute observances that a tolerable familiar- ity withit can be acquired only by a con- siderable intercourse with polite society. Quickness of sympathy and a certain fineness of observation are more needed for proficiency in this sphere than mere power of intellect. The term is derived from the French word f'etiquette , originally a slip of paper affixed to a packet to indicate its contents. This term has come to mean the various decorums to be observed in the ordinary intercourse of life and especially the com- portment on state occasions perhaps from the custom formerly of distributing tickets or slips of paper to each person containing the rules to be observed by him or her at the ceremony. The word is also used by members of certain professions to designate the rules to be followed by the members, known as legal etiquette , business etiquette . Civic Creed for the Boys of This Great Republic God hath made one blood all nations of men, and we are his children, brothers and sisters all. We are citizens of these United States and we believe our Flag stands for self-sacrifice for the good of all the people. We want, therefore, to be true citizens of ECHO our great country and will show our love for her by our works. Our country does not ask us to die for her welfafe only- she asks us to live for her, and so to live and so to act that her government may be pure, her officers honest, and every corner of her territory a place fit to grow the best men and women, who shall rule over her. -A zzoziymous. C Plans to Release Napoleon From St. Helena 1-1.- ., More than a hundred years ago imper- fect submarines were in use. It was well known that shallow vessel of metal or any other substance could be made to float under water. The only requisite was that such a ves- sel be hermetically sealed, it would float under water a certain distance without sinking to the bottom. Scientists knew that a cubic foot of copper and certain other metals which are more than nine times as heavy as water, if made into a shallow, tight vessel nine or more cubic feet in capacity would just float. By making it somewhat smaller it would float at a cer- tain depth below the surface. Careful measurements and exact calcul- ations would be necessary to float such a vessel at a required depth. A torpedo boat capable of carrying six persons and re- maining under water a certain number of hours was constructed during the late war. It is said that one of the plans to re- lease Napoleon from St. Helena contem- plated the use of such a vessel that could be employed close to the island under the water. We may be sure that a number of attempts would have been made by the admirers of Napoleon, if that noble exile had lived long enough. .

The Bishop's Feast Day is an occasion eagerly looked for- ward to by all the students at the Central Catholic High School, but especially so by the Senior Class, who are given the great privilege of doing the honors on this occasion. Besides the Right Reverend Bishop, those present were the Reverend A. E. La- Fontaine, diocesan superintendent of schools: the Reverend Thomas M. Conroy, pastor of the Cathedral, and the faculty and students of the Central Catholic High School. The orchestra opened the entertainment with a good selection of pieces. Arthur Volz then gave the address of welcome, which is always the product of the student that gives it. Of the recitations, it would be impossible to select a peer. The Senior Glee Club rendering a number of popular pieces was enthusiastically received. The Sophomore Glee Club also gave a good account of itself. Winding up the program Francis Cor- bett gave a very humorous recitation, Confessions of a Bashful Man, and was thunderously applauded. After the singing of the Victory Song, the Right Reverend Bishop gave a very lt-airrg do f spirited talk and declared the rest of the day free. The program ended by Red Foohey leading the school in giving nine hearty cheers for the Bishop. The complete program follows: tl. Selections ........ C. C. H. S. Orchestra 2.

'A ' 'M We salute' you, 'Right Reverend Bishop, with the greatest -love-and-profound rev- erence. The studentsof this school owe to you their most sincere thanks for being able to attend a Catholic High School' and ob- tain a thorough Christian education. Pos- sibly they do notirecognize or fully value the benefits derived from such a training -a training which tends to produce a high character, because by it we are taught to uphold and practice the Avery principles of ethics and morality which characterize the entire life of Jesus Christ, the Perfect Model of men. Now is the time for such an education to work to its greatest advantage, an era when the schools of the church are har- assed by enemies, actuated by political and religious reasons seeking to abolish the parochial schools and to take away from parents the right-to provide for the edu- cation of their children,'giving to the State a monopoly of their education. Now is thegtime wheniwe need Catholic leaders among the people-men and wom- en who are. able' to destroy unfavorable bias, spread 'a clear ,perception of the truth and to secure justice. But Catholic lead- ers can be obtained only through Catholic education. Therefore, we must have Cath- olic high schools wheree those persons may receive a large part of their education. It is owing to your remarkable foresight in matters such as these that made your vision of a Catholic high school in the diocese a possibility. W . Words are not sufficient to thank you for the 'many blessings bestowed' through your tireless efforts in establishing this Central Cgaieiie High sehoei. Not satisfied with the building as it was you have been the instigator of the many im- provements whichhave been made. The old brick walls have been covered with sham- rook, the 'old windows replaced with new ones. Where once were old desks are now new ones of the latest type. .The interior has been repainted, and redecorated. 'Be- sides these numerous other improvements have been made, both within and without theiibuilding. R . Primarily the object of your originating this high school was to provide good Cath- olic young men for leadership among the laity who would be strong 'defenders of the faith, obtained and developed in the school. ' T Certainly this school has proven itse'f a success, for its graduates can be found everywhere-men of intelligence who are able to compete favorably with the grad- uates of any high school in the country and can enter any of the best universities of the country. But whatever success the school has brought upon itself, the honor, I may say, is all your own. T Right Reverend Bishop, we understand your repugnance for praise, but that is the only waywelhave of expressing our appre- ciation and 'gratitude forhall you have done for us. e . I again take the liberty of thanking you for all you have done, and we fervently pray that your patron, St. Andrew, may obtain for you from God long life in this world and eternal happiness in the world to come. THE ECHO 39 Bishop Alerding's Address The feature of the mornings celebration was the splendid address given by the prel- ate who evidenced his pleasure in address- ing-the students. After thanking them for their annual program given in observance of his festal day, he humbly disclaimed the tribute bestowed on him in the opening address of Arthur Volz, in which he was extolled as the founder of the high school. He declared that he was simply the in- strument or the moving spirit of the entire undertaking. He compared himself to the man who sows the seed and indicated that though there may be some credit due inso- far as he put the seed into the ground. it is the Lord who gives the increase and makes that seed reproduce a hundredfold. Bishop Alerding affirmed that the greatest amount of credit for establishing the C. C. H. S. is due to the Rev. A. E. Lafontaine, diocesan school superintendent. a learned and devoted friend of the insti- tution. To the faculty. that is. the Broth- ers ofthe Holy Crossf' said Bishop Aler- ding, 'His due in a generous measure the success and progress of the school. The-sf ttcarhers are not only fonternf-rl with tn- hoys who are at sthool, hut keep in toufi. likewise with the lla grarluatf-s nov. out of school.

'l'herefore. l entreat all of you young men to consider religion and education as the essential means of build- ing character. I think we all know men of great character. they cannot help being grateful for the benefits received from tiorl. lfurthermore, I may add there is no coun- try on earth where people are noted for more characteristic benevolence and kind- ness than the people of the l'nited States. They are emphatically schoolboys at heart -a people of sympathy who are by nature ardent, by instinct brave and by inherit- ance generous. Besides Bishop Alerding. Rev. A. R. Lafontaine. school superintend- ent. and Rev. Thomas M. Conroy. rector of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Con- ception. were in attendance. 40 THE The Usefulness of a High School Paper Unlike other news publications, the high school paper has one great advantage which the others have not, and that is UTRUTHU. The school paper is one that contains the news, happenings, incidents which occur during the periods of school. It also has its athletic department and of course its humor column. Then there are the other less important columns, such as the one honoring the teachers, past and present, the graduates-what they are do- ing, either their progress in colleges or in business. Then there are stories, which are fiction-they are not true, but they are not untrue, either. In the different parts of a school paper or magazine, the parts are all true or if not, they could at least happen. But this cannot be said about a public newspaper. In it there is some real news -some that isn't false. but a great amount ECHO of it is guess work. You read in a news- paper about a man who committed murder, then pick up another newspaper and read in that one where a different one did the killing. One about a man who was arrested for being intoxicated and the next day the false news is corrected and the man who was accused declares himself and proves that he was the wrong man. Such statements as these, that are untrue and false, appear daily in different magazines and newspapers. There is, however, a drawback to the school magazine-the financing of it. The paper itself costs quite a bit, then there is the mailing of it, the typesetting and all of the engravings needed for the pic- tures to be printed in it. The subscriptions must be solicited before the advertisers will give ads. and the ads are the greatest asset any publication has. The securing of sub- scriptions takes a good deal of time and is hardly worth the money that is taken in for them. Then again, so many have to ART SCHAFl .-.i,.2.zQNr'- 'I H ' are Hart Schaffner 8tMarx Cl hes A Chrzstm Q., t ' xjszwl 1: A ' -Right in Style, Righti CK ' 1 '-.- 1 .

'I'he purpose of the school paper should be to produce the most interesting stibiects and with a View of surpassing all other school papers in general. In school every student has great competition in writing things for the school paper. liach oni- tries to write his best and in doing so, he betters his own knowledge. VVhen each one does his best, there is little chance of not having good articles in the school mag- azine. To accomplish this, time must be spent in selecting and arranging the differ- ent subjects, stories, pictures, etc., into proper order for publication. In order to maintain a high standard throughout the several departments, the editor-in-chief should select for his helpers in his work from among his associates, those who are best fitted to helpg ones who know something about their work. For without good management the paper would soon run down and be a failure.

'5 '-I-I --... nu ll' Rev. Omer Desrochers, C. S. C., mis- sionary of the Congregation of Holy Cross. who has spent 13 years among the natives of Bengal, India, addressed the students of the C. c. H. s. Friday November 23. The general topic of his travel talk is Customs in India . 'At the Central Catholic High School he alluded particularly to the men and boys in India. In the portrayal of a wedding ceremony two of the students appeared in native costume. Paul Frei- burger, of Sheldon, impersonated the groom and Roger Halter the bride. The role of the niissionary's servant was also enacted by Freiburger. Father Desrochers discussed living con- ditions in Dacca, the houses, their construc- tion and the materials employed. Concern- ing climatic conditions he stated that it was not unusual for the temperature to reach 1150 in the shade in April. During the rainy season a considerable section of the country along the rivers and low lands is inundated. The cultivation of rice, which is the principal article of food, is very extensive. Reference was made to the peculiar insects of the country and to the snakes, tigers, leopards and the dense jungles -of India. An interesting survey was presented of the activities of Rt. Rev. joseph LeGrand, C. S. C., bishop of Dacca, India, twenty priests and twelve brothers of Holy Cross, who are engaged in missionary work. He described the high and elementary schools, both public and private. Recalling the habits of the students, he mentioned that many of the small boys and girls used leaves instead of tablets, a reed serving as a pen, and ink being supplied by mix- ing the soot scraped from the bottom of utensils with water. A touching tribute was bestowed on the Bengalese converts and their heroism ex- tolled. The politeness in manner of the natives, particularly toward the mission- aries, was mentioned. Father Desrochers expressed the hope that his visit might inspire some of his auditors to work among the Bengalese. He recalled the activities of the late Brother Gabriel, who taught here several years ago, and of Brothers Ernest, Walter, Joachim, and Celestine. Brother Anthony, C. S. C., who taught in Fort Wfayne for tive years and is a former member of the C. C. H. S. faculty, just arrived in Dacca, India, where he can do much good. Father Desrochers is taking a short leave of his work in India on the advice of phy- sicians, owing to a break in health. While in Fort Wayne he spoke in the Cathedral, St. Augustine's Academy, Sacred Heart Academy and at St. Peter's School. FINE PHOTDS FRAMING Phone Main 541 218 XV, Berry Sr, KODAK FINISHING GIFTS A.

C., who taught in our school from 1914 to 1918, is now laboring in the mission field of the Con- gregation of Holy Cross in Bengal, India. He is the second former Fort VVayne teach- er to devote his life to missionary work. Tae first one was Brother Gabriel, C. S. C., who died in-Bengal in 1914. Brother Anthony came to America as a boy with the expressed purpose of becom- ing a Brother of Holy Cross. Shortly after his arrival from Holland he entered the Novitiate of the Congregation of Holy Cross at Notre Dame, Indiana. Upon the completion of his religious and intellectual training in Dujarie Institute at the Uni- versity of Notre Dame, Brother taught here in Fort VVayne. From here he was assigned to the Cathedral School in In- dianapolis. A year ago he went to Holy Cross College, New Qrleans, where he taught until June of the present year. An ardent mission Worker and a zealous and popular teacher his departure is keenly felt by his co-laborers and former pupils. The keen interest shown by Brother An- thony in backing up the missionaries, while he was a teacher in the United States per- mits us to hope for great things in distant Bengal. C The work of the Brothers of Holy Cross in India, as in the United States, is chiefly educational. XVe Americans can perhaps appreciate better than others the work of educational missionaries. If we deem it so necessary to train in Catholic schools the children of traditionally Catholic fam- ilies, surely we can understand the pressing need of the Catholic village school for transforming little pagans into Christians in a land whose atmosphere is highly charged with age-old pagan superstitions and where false religions rule the minutest details of life from the cradle to the grave. The Brothers of Holy Cross conduct four high schools and supervise Catholic edu- cation in the village schools, which are taught by lay teachers. So important is this supervision and so successful have the Brothers been in their firstattempt at Toomiliah, their largest station, that Father Gavin Duffy, the leading Catholic expert of education in India, said: These are the best village schools I have seen in India, and they are such because the teach- ing is supervised by competent Brothers.

ECHO A Memory Test How many of our readers remember these men? They were all former supe- riors of the Brothers' schools in Fort Wayne: Brother Stanislaus, Brother Ephrem, Brother Bernard, Brother John Chrysos- tum, Brother Simeon, Brother Gabriel, Brother Engelbert, Brother Marcellus, Brother Remigius, Brother Lucian, Brother Marcellinus, Brother Exupere, Brother Daniel and Brother Owen. In Memoriam It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of Mr. Anthony Nordenbrock, father of Gregory Nordenbrock of the Senior Class. Mr. Nordenbrock died at Burkettsville, O., on December 5th after an illness of several months which he bore with Christian forti- tude and resignation. VVe assure the fam- ily that he will receive a liberal share of the prayers of both faculty and students. May his precious soul rest in peace. Raymond Stephan of the class of '21 died during the summer. He was drowned in Cedar Lake while swimming with Eddie Baker. Ray was an energetic student, a trustworthy and reliable boy and a great booster of school activities when with us. His name is linked with the orchestra, glee club, baseball team, and for two years he was the old reliable tackle on the football team. Ray spent two years as a student at Notre Dame and while there gave exter- nal evidence of the faith that was in him by the wholesome practice of Daily Com- munion. May he rest in peace.

Gee. it is good to see the last year juniors back again! No one had to tell us where to park for we were all in our places. Then Brother Dan- iel gave us a talk on How to start the school year right . Yes. we are seniors now and are here to finish the last meas- ure of hard work . As usual during the first week we gath- ered in sacred conclave and held our an- nual class election. John Martin succeed- ed Wayne Bushman as president. Arthur Miller was elected to take care of the books, succeeding Chester Lilly, who later in the season left for breezy California. Michael Hogan again carries our valuables, mak- ing the fourth year in succession. He will be a bank manager some day, no doubt. Although not showing up very well in past entertainments, we are rapidly im- proving. The glee club and our speakers are equal to any of our former leading stars. The glee club has already given several outside entertainments and soon the dramatists will do the same. In the or- chestra we have Arthur Miller. Our class as usual furnishes its full quota of men for the football team. Bush- man, Captain Graf, Kelker, McGrath, Waite, Volz, Flick, Ferguson, Belot, Lo- ney, and Kaliker. just watch these names two years from now when college teams will claim them. Flick still holds the nickname champion- ship of the school. Diek and Kelker have taken a sudden liking for Lakeside. Graf is still champion of the south end. Here is hoping he becomes serious. McGrath is thinking seriously of becoming an editor on the Life magazine. There is much more to tell about our bunch , If you want to recognize a se- nior just look at his clean hands, the ab- sence of gloves, and the class ring lightly reposing on one of the terminals of his hand.

His demonstration was most unusual. The unlimited power over the muscles of his body and the various feats he performed seemed almost impos- sible. Nothing of the kind was ever seen in our school before with the exception of Scotty's performance of two years ago. The students enjoyed the demonstration very much judging by the applause given Scottv.-EVERETT STOREY, '24, , .

Hip! Hip! This and many other outbursts were heard from the Juniors on September llth. The hearty cheering, however, was soon stopped by a prominent member of the fac- ulty who gave us a soul stirring oration on everything in general. None were hurt in the rush for books, which were sold thick and fast, and none, strange to say, seem to be getting stoop shouldered from carrying them too much. Zuber, because of his wide range of ex- perience was again elected class president by a large majority. Tom McCarthy was up in front fighting for the presidency, but Zuber-H100 percent for the class - would not be denied. Tom took it mighty hard and gave a fiery oration on I would rather be right than president , proving that Henry Clay hasn't a thing on Tom. Nevertheless Tom is our vice-president and has the distinction of being an athlete, social lion, and all around good fellow, in spite of' his charm and beauty. Lib- bing, elected for the third consecutive time to handle the frogskins, and McCormick, secretary, round out the staff of officers. Waltz, Miskel and Smith of our class, are each playing their part of the success our school orchestra is having.. Kennerk entertains hope of entering the gallant band, but his wind is not yet well devel- oped. Ask the Cornet. We are honored by the presence of Dil- lon, Disler, and Murphy, new members who now grace our class. VVhen it comes time for passing out foot- ball sweaters, our class will be lightedup with them like a new hotel. Bergo - but we'll call him Berghoff-our dashing end, has been making the opposing half- backs look like statues. Especially in the Huntington game he was usually on the halfback's 'fframe before he got a chance to get started. McCormick and Patten also work on the wing position. Mulligan, Baltes, the Fooheys, Noll, Libbing and Tom McCarthy have other line positions, while Steinbacher and Gene Shea have backfield positions. Gene Shea had the honor of making the first touchdown of the season and Patten made the second on a forward pass. In other words, activities is our motto, and we are also beginning to show our strength, especially in dramatics and so- cials. Our Halloween dance held at the K. C. hall was a decided success due to the efforts of the officers and the classmen. Mr. Edward Lennon and Mr. Richard App stepped into our classroom and each gave us a very interesting talk. Some facts about journalism and school spirit will al- ways be remembered by us and we sin- cerely hope they return to us again. Parrot says he is going to write a book on Master Minds I Have Conqueredf' Look out, you intellectuals! Gregory Kennerk is going big as a so- cial lion.

Sophomores The class of '26 gave a good account of itself at the opening of school. Practically all the students returned the first day. Among the missing students were Roger Smith and Leo Houser, who are taking business courses, and Gerald Zehendner, who is taking up draftsmanship. Two boys. Robert Stark and Kenneth Klotz, went to the South Side High and their places were filled by Nicholas Jett and Lowell Elliot. from the South Side. When the class elections were held, Francis Corbett was elected president by unanimous vote. The other offices were closely contested. The final count found Herman Beimer treasurer and john Fitz- gerald secretary. ' Wfhen the call for football candidates was sent forth, nine of our number re- sponded. Many made good and most of them will make strong bids for regular varsity berths next year. Carl Pequignot. our star halfback, won a place on the All- City High School second team. Paul Lerch, Edmund Shea, Hugh Kennerk, Al- pheus Baily, John Fitzgerald, Ernest Mil- ler, Francis Corbett, Thomas O'Connell and Robert Kelker practiced with the team andmost of them actually got into quite a few games. Lowell Elliot, ineligible pbe- V Je ,e ! , r l i -1,- cause of his first semester here, practiced consistently and promises to be a valuable ntan on next year's squad. The Sophomore Glee Club, consisting of Richard Bentley, jack Cain, Maurice Clover, Byron Evard, Merlin Ferguson, Leonard Heit, Elmer Lassus. Steve Kelle- her, Carl l'equignot, Ernest Miller and their accompanist, Neil Thompson, have been attracting a great deal of attention. After several appearances in school, they have filled engagements at different places in Fort XVayne and neighboring towns. john Fitzgerald and Neil Thompson rep- resent the Sophomores in school orchestra. XYe have tive teachers in our section. They are Brothers Norbert, Vitus, Neil, Daniel and Gilbert. The later they come the heavier they get. Our classes this year are Geometry, History, Religion, Latin and English. PAUL FREIBURGER, 'Z6.

The first day fifty-four stu- dents registered and within a few days the number was swelled to the present fig- ure of sixty. Fourteen schools have repre- sentatives on our roster. There are eight- een boys from St. Patrick'sg thirteen from the Cathedral: eight from St. Peter's: five from St. Paul'sg and three from the South Side High School. Places out of Fort Wayne represented are: Burkettsville. O., by Rebman: Union City, by Dillon: Ma- rion, by Schrantzg Plymouth, by Ennisg Columbia City. by Gallivang Yoder, by Andorfer and Christman: and Hesse Cas- sel, by Harkenrider. Dn September the tenth, the opening day of school, the student body attended High Mass at the Cathedral, after which the Rev- erend Father Conroy gave a short address. After the mass seats were assigned in the study hall and books were bought, soldor exchanged. Then followed a talk by Brother Daniel and the arrangement of the program for studies. At our first class meeting held after we became acquainted, an election of officers took place. The election resulted in Paul Martin being elected president, Kenneth Alles, vice-president, Robert Tucker, treas- urer, Franklin Bercot, secretary, and Al- fred Lemper, class scribe. A class mono- gram, designed by Edward 'Henry, was adopted at a later meeting. The mono- gram consists of a purple background, dia- mond in shape, the border, C. C. H. S., and the year '27 in gold. Although a class team was organized in football and practiced faithfully, we had no opportunity to show our ability, due to the scarcity of teams of our weight in Fort Wfayne. Martin was the captain of the team. After the coach disbanded our team Martin, VVhite, Blosser and Schrantz re- ported for practice with the varsity. The basketball season will be soon in full swing and we are looking forward to a very successful season. So far the Fresh- man class is represented by the HK. T. jfs, the Ramblers and the Freshman Midgets. During the past few weeks we have had' several talks on school spirit by K. K. Rockne, Notre Dame's coach, Eddie Len- non, N. D. graduate of '23g William Gocke of Purdue, and Frank Doriot, coach of C. C. H. S. Father Desroches, a missionary from In- dia, gave us a very interesting talk on Life in India one afternoon during Sci- ence period. Frequent expressions among the Fresh- men are: Ring the bell, Redmerskif' HMeet you down at the Lyceum tonight. Shut up and say something. Drop around at 3.15 in the study hallf, Stoody to the board.

His name was Julius Feaser O'Connor and he was a salesman for the Didion-Tyler Company of Bendele' on the coast of Bo Bay. XVherever he went he took his son Henry and his daugh- ter Alles along with him. Mr. O'Connor was very free with his Koehl. He bought Alles a Reed QKOD selke, Henry a VVhite saddle horse and him- self an Underwood typewriter. Henry called his horse Blosser and immediately set to work to Trainer. Henry never made any noise for Blosser always Scheid if Henry did not Harkenrider. One evening Mr. G'Connor gave a ban- quet to some of his friends. Andorfer. Bennigan, Christman, Ennis, Eyanson, Lemper, McDonald, Richter. Schrantz, So- senheimer, Zurbuch and Girardot of the Class of '27 were among the guests pres- ent. They had bread, Pollone, Koehl, pick- les and Loganberry punch. A Martin es- caped from its Reed cage and splashed the punch all over. Schaab, the waiter. told the Koch to get some ice cold Berghoff and serve it with XVhite bread and Sorgum. Flick dropped a pickle which was a Dill- on the floor. Alles went into the kitchen and knocked a Potthoff the stove. NVhile she was cleaning up the mess, her father came in- and said, Alles, did you do that? No, replied Alles. L-U-Ley, ex- claimed the father and sent her to her room to Stoody. The next day Alles wheeled the neigh- bor's baby, Gocke, up and down Huhn Street in her CKOD selke. Soon she wandered into De Woods. Here she met a Rebman who Tucker on his horse and rode off. The Rebman was Chief Welling of Red- merski fame who had too much White mule and was out of Koehl. They stopped near a well and drew a Buckheit of water. After quenching their thirst they entered the park and while in the Parquette their lunch. All the while Gocke sounded a Galvanized iron Bell which the Kock used to calliithe guests to dinner. They were trailed by Sheriff, Thompson across the Perrey to Mt. Haefling. Here the sheriff captured the Rebman roasting a Hoog which a Ber-cot and killed. The sheriff returned Alles to her father. The once more happy family returned to their quiet home in the peaceful town of Bendele on Bo-Bay. ALFRED LEMPER, 'Z7. What's in a Name There was an old farmer by the name of Kelker who had a Jett black mule which he used to till the soil where he planted Cain and Clover. One day the mule broke her Halter and was grazing by the road- side when she was hit by a one-hoss Shea driven by a Welchman. This accident knocked out Irwintdi. As Kelker rushed to the scene of the accident, the Welch- man said. f'Give her a dose of Bromo Suel- zer or she's Appttj to die. After first aid was administered, the old mule stood up and ate a green apple with the Corbett out and then went to a nearby hay Stack and started to nibble at the hay. The next morning the farmer wanted to use the mule to press Sorg-um Mo-Lassus. He went out to the barn and found the mule quite sick. He then hollered to Mack, the hired man, and said Mack, hew those logs and use the chips to hurry the fire under the Sorg- um Mo-Lassus kettle. Kelker then said to his son Gerald, The old mule has got Fitz, Gerald, go and tell your mother to send your sister Peggy over to Dr. Thompson's for some Sigl-ed medi- cine for the mule. After a considerable Waite. the farmer went to the house and asked his wife if Peggy went over to Dr. Thompson's and the wife said, Peggy? No. Mary went after it. HOWARD WOLF, 'Z6. !

Fort Vavne. ind, A Good Education is the Foundation of Success 76 THE That Last Game Bob Statz was a senior at Technical High of Danville, Nevada. He was a very popular fellow and was liked by both teachers and students. As an athlete Bob was considered good. He was a relief pitcher on the varsity nine and had saved the day at critical moments when the reg- ulars had weakened. On the cinder path he was on-e of the speediest in school for the dashes, and on the basketball floor he had shown brilliant iiashes at times. But football--well, that was different. Some- how things did not break right for him in football. As a boy in the grades Bob had dreamed of playing high school football. Four con- secutive years he had tried to Win a back- field position on the team, but had never yet felt the thrill of being called into action and have the quarterback call his number to carry the ball. Through all the import- ant games for four years Bob sat on the bench. Still he always cherished the hope that some day before his high school career came to a close he would have a chance to get into a game and make his childhood dream a reality. Danville's traditional rival, Milton High, was to be met the following Satur- day in the final game of the season to decide the scholastic championship of the city. Bob had little hope of getting into this game, however. Danville's regulars were at the peak of their game and had been pointed by Coach Dray for this en- counter. Saturday afternoon, the day of the big game, proved to be an ideal day for foot- ball. There was the keenest rivalry be- tween the two schools and the interest man- ifested itself on many people who liked the sport besides the large host of students and admirers from each school. The kickoff at two-thirty found Bob on the sidelines, in uniform, nevertheless. ECH0 y Milton High started things off with a rush. A series of line plunges andend runs taking the ball to the Danville twenty-yard line. At this point Danville's line held for downs and getting possession of the ball, they punted out of danger. The period ended without a score and the second one was also devoid of scores thrills. The second half started by Milton returning the kickoff to midfield. A forward pass placed the ball on Dan- vilQe's thirty-yard line. johnson, Milton's half, stepped back to attempt a dropkick. A hush fell upon the large crowd as the ball was snapped and johnson placed the oval squarely between the uprights. The Milton rooters went wild with joy. The quarter ended a moment later with Dan- ville on the short end of a three-to-nothing score. anc- The final period had hardly begun when Stark, Danville's triple threat man, had his leg badly injured and had to be taken from the game. As Danville did not have a great number of backfield subs Bob was the best bet and went in the place left vacant by Stark. Rah! Rah! Rah! Statz! burst from the cheering section and Stark was also cheered as he was assisted off the field. The realization that his wish was at last granted made all the old fighting spirit which he had shown in other sports return to Bob and he played like a veteran. The ball was Milton's on yard line. A criss cross gained ten yards and another play through tackie was good for forty more. Things began to look bad Qield Milton ner twenty- for Danville, but their line for downs. Brown, another dependable kicker, drop- ped back to punt for Danville. With the wind slightly favoring him, Brown got off one of his best kicks of the year, a high floater. Bob picked his way through the Milton interference and was down the field like a flash. The slight wind made it a difficult mat- Al Your Service J. W.

The ball took a lucky bounce right into the path of Bob. Bob grabbed it in an .in- stant. His long start from the other end of the field proved too great an advantage and he was not overtaken by Milton tack- lers. A few seconds more and he raced across the goal line with the winning touch- down. A moment later the gun cracked, ending the game that made Danville High scholastic champions and Bob Statz a hero. THOMAS DOYLE, '25. The Young S teeple jack W'illiam desired to become a steeplej ack. When a youngster of eight he would climb to the very vertex of his father's barn and sit for hours, looking at the surround- ing landscape. Therefore, he thought his experience to be one hundred percent. But this did not appeal to him. He wanted to ascend to higher points of van- tage. So one day he decided on a fixed course. He would climb the standpipe. From here he would be able to see for many miles in every direction. Although the standpipe was old and the ladder had been declared unsafe, he de- cided to go through with his plan. That night he dropped off to sleep in a high ecstacy of mind. On the morrow he would become a hero by climbing the Pipe- i . As he started the upward climb, a vague feeling came over him, but this did not dampen his spirit. His mind was set on ascending the pipe. On he went, up and up. Finally he was on the railing of the tank. He walked around it gleefully. He was the only one of his gang who dared climb so high. As he gazed around, he discovered another ladder, against the inside wall of the pipe. Why could he not put his initials on the inside? If anyone ever came into the tank they then would know that someone had ECHO preceded them. So he stepped down the ladder. Taking out his pocketknife he carved his initials, W, H. B., '23 . He then' crawled up the side of the tank. After taking another look at the country, he started to descend. But as he stepped on the little platform, above the descending ladder, it pulled out from the supports and he fell into space with a thump. William, Williamj' exclaimed his moth- er as she came running into the room. What has happened ? F William found himself on the .floor with the bedclothes on top of him. A ' Whew, he said to himself, I will never do any climbing again. EUGENE HUSSELMAN. Luke's Nonsense Listen, my children, and you shall hear The midnight battle of Bunker Hill.

Poverty and Crime Poverty, the state of being in need, and crime, the state of being in sin, are two of the hardest obstacles to overcome in the world today. These two are joined to- gether in almost every way and keep the world busy remedying these faults. It is hard to keep poverty and crime down be- cause it is the habit of certain people to practice these degredations of life. To some people it is the habit to be in the state of poverty. When they receive money from some charitable institution or good fellow , instead of using it for food, clothing or some other good purpose, they squander it with recklessness. The state of poverty is generally prev- alent, because people get into the habit of spending beyond their means. The rich man has just as good a chance to debase Du Wan Advertising Service CHARLICS l'. lm XVAN, tit-nt-ral Nlnnsigtzr lintirc SUVUIII1 lfloor lll VVtcsl Main Str:-vt POSTER ARTISTS-SIGN WRITERS CARD WRITERS Electric Signs of All Kinds 1 , I 1'lmn1- Nlam 1.431 .f,'.i,'. 1 .X'1'lfl1'f'Q1.S 'xl l,X'wR lzlmoif' lillllflllllf JMC fu 1.1 ' 1,-:',. 1017 Nhflyliv, 1Ii'f:,iI.,1 AUGUST C.

He has ac- quired the habit of spending, he gambles on the races, invests in foolish enterprises, and at last he finds himself bankrupt. His fellow men see that his fortune is gone, and they declare themselves no more his friends. He is then in the state of poverty, and will use every possible means to get himself out of that embarrassment, and will even resort to crime. With some people it is not the habit of spending, but it is because they have large families, or because the father of the family does not make enough money to feed and clothe his children properly, that they are in the state of poverty. Some peo- ple become enraged when they see that they have to live in poverty while other people are enjoying life. Perhaps it is because the poor person did not have the chance to make good in life or else he squandered his opportunity to make good. Some people are content with poverty because they see that they will be rewarded in the after life. As the Socialists say. that every man should be equal in pos- sessions and state of life. But this would be an unwise thing to do because the ener- getic man would be brought down to a level with the lazy man who does not try to accomplish greater things. Crime and poverty go hand in hand in degrading the life of this world. Some but not all poverty can be avoided, but crime is wilfully done. Crime sometimes comes out of poverty. because a man who ECHO that state of living. Crime is generally the means which he uses. He resorts to theft, or trickery, or some other low-down means to regain his former standing. Often crime is a habit, especially with a profes- sional burglar, who, although he does not need the money, makes it a practice to burglarize or stage holdups. Thus we see the hard problem by which the world is confronted today in stamping out poverty and crime. STEPHAN FRANKE, 'Z5.
