'I'o our parents. for their devotion and sell'-sacrifice ol' time and energy, with the hope that we may some day realize their fondest dreams. 'l'o the priests ol' our respective parishes who brought us into the fold through Baptism, who have been our guides and counsellors through youth, and who. by their unsellish and unsung support, have made our diocesan high school possible. 'l'o the saintly nuns, for their patient teaching in our grade school days where, by word and example, they gave us the foundation upon which our higher education rests. 'l'o these, our parents, our priests and sisters, and to our high school teachers, the Christian Brothers and the lay professors, we dedicate this year book, although only a small measure of return, yet all our own, and composed with a sincere and thankful heart to you, our benefactors. It shall be our earnest endeavor to so live that your work will not have been in vain. w 1 l V 3, elif L1 A6 l THE Mosi' REVEREND HUGH C.

I regret that I have had only one year to spend with the Brothers and the gllllll-Ill?llI'Il'lI lay teachers, lzerause within the walls of that rnagnifieenl building I have spent many interesting dass hours. My days at Central, I ran truthfully say, are not gone with the wind. To those Brothers and men of learning, I owe what I am. German Club '40 Clee Club '40 Aviation Club '40 Art Club '40 Chess Club '40 In my opinion and in the opinion of the entire class, I atn sure I am safe in saying that C. V. is as good a friend as a boy can lind. I have only known C.V. for about a year, but in that year, he is one boy I will never forget. M A'r'rHr1w I.. Suymik Arts--IS 3408 Beechwood Boulevard St. Philomena MU'I'SY What I will always remenzlier about Central are the friend- ship and good will of the fellows, and the times I was late in my junior year. German Club '40 Dramatic Club '40 Senior Play '40 Mutsy's popularity may be measured by the fact that he has been class president the past two years. His hutnorous personal- ity' is enjoyed by all his friends-especially his numerous fem- inine acquaintanees. His ability to win friends is unlimited. This is due to the fact that one just can't resist his amiabilitv. RICHARD SNYDER Commercial-68 '323 Olivmll Street tzorpus Christi DICK I will always remember the four years spent at Central, years that I really enjoyed.

Brother .klillilllh the yice-principal, inlortned us that one out ol' eyery lour ol' us would probably not be a graduate. .-Xlter puuling oyer an intelligence test, we climbed to our classes. the eleyen IJ's which were located on the top lloor ol' the building. lo help us in dexeloping new friendships. the Brothers scattered the boys lrom each parish throughout tht eleven lreslunan rooms. 'l'he primary interest ol tlltlsl ol the lirst year boys was the lootball team. XXX lreshies spent lnany Friday afternoons in the rain-soaked bleachers ol' Greenlec Field. liach ol the home games this year was played during a rainstorm. llt'SIDlll the adverse weather conditions, we helped cheer the Vikings on to yictory in sis out ol' their nine scheduled games. Most ol' the lreshtnan classes sported lootball teams ol' their own. lhese teams played inter-class games. either on llillman's lol . 1 or at lechs soccer held. lhe smaller boys in the lower Us won many moral yictories. i ltarly in November. alter the lirst quarter tests were oyer. we began to practice t lor the lreshman basketball league. liach gym period was spent in serious prac- t 1 f , . . ticc lot the competition which was to lollow. Once again the stle ol the boys in the higher lJ's proyed to be too great a handicap lor the smaller ones to oxercome On Tuesday and Friday nights. we lreshies crowded into the gym to watch tht varsity squad play. lhe team showed lots ol light. and turned tn an enyiablc record. 'lhroughout the year. we were entertained once each week by either the lfederal Syphony. the school orchestra. or the dramatic club. No lreshmen had as yet become members ol' the orchestra or dramatic club. but these line productions excited in many ol' us the desire to join in the school actitities. by the end ol. May. there was a noticeable change in the general conduct ol the lreslunen. luyen we. the lreshmen. had to adnnt that the Brothers had tamed us down a little. lVhen we turned our backs to the lowers on june lil, lflfl7, wt lelt that our year's time had been well and enjoyably spent. 0 l937-l938 'r Slfl'ilXIlill good to get back to the grind in September. Maybe it was because we could now look down our noses at those inlants called l-l'1'SlIlllCll.u lVe eyen laughed at the queer antics ol' the silly lrosh, lorgetliul that we must have looked like a three-ring circus ourselyes just one year beliore. lVe sophomores were as- signed to the G's. which, to our delight. were on the second lloor. Our princi- pal. Brother .-Xloysius. had been transferred during the sunnuer. and had been replaced by Brother Pius. whom we haye grown to admire greatly. Towards the end ol' September. the lirst edition ol' the Viking was presented to the students. This monthly publication is equal to any other high school paper in the country. Many members ol' the Class ol' '-Ill haye been the ntainstays ol' the Viking Stall' since its inception. QHWQJD The Viking brought news of the coming gridiron battles. The football squad was not so successful as it had been in previous years, winning only two out of nine games. Many sophomores bowed in as substitutes and showed that Central could look for better teams in the future. All of the home games this year were moved to Peabody High Athletic Field. This change was welcomed by every one of Central's rooters. The 1937 basketball schedule was the largest ever contracted by a Central floor team. Considering the number of games and the rapid succession in which they were played, the Viking quintet did itself proud by winning twenty-two out of thirty-five games. The junior varsity team, which was made up of members of our class, won about three-fourths of their games. During the basketball season a call was sounded for all boxing enthusiasts. These boys staged exhibition matches during the basketball intermissions. The bouts proved to be real slugfests, and were responsible for the large increase in the attendance at the basketball games. The hrst week of March was dedicated to the choosing of vocations. The labora- tories on the first floor were converted into exhibit rooms. Speakers from all walks of life told of the qualifications necessary for the various lines of endeavor. It was evident that the students were duly impressed by the discourses concern- ing the religious life. Some members of our sophomore class left for Ammen- dale very soon. After receiving their marks in the third quarter tests, a few others left-for destinations unknown. Late in our second year, the students were treated to another pleasant surprise. Someone reached into somebody's hat and presto out came a new school band. This smartly-uniformed and fully-equipped group of youngsters promised to bring new life to the football games next season. 1938- 1939 WHEN we returned to Central in the fall, we felt much superior to the sopho- mores and freshmen. We, the juniors, could choose the courses we desired to study. After our regular assembly, we were divided into three groups: those who had chosen the Arts Course were put into Class l-A, those who had selected the Science Course went to the four B's, and those who had picked the Com- mercial Course were directed to the BC's. This choice of courses brought about the breaking up of many friendly gangs which had been formed in the first two years. The candidates for the football team had spent the two weeks previous to the opening of school in a brief training period at a camp in Maryland. This extra practice certainly had a fine effect on the team. Central won eight out of nine games, losing only to the powerful Donora team. The Thanksgiving Day game with Johnstown Catholic will long be remembered because of the initial out- door appearance of our Band. Their classy uniforms, snappy music, and fine maneuvers, which were carried on in three inches of snow, drew rounds of a - plause from the eskimos in the stands. The day before each game, a pep ralljy was held in the auditorium. These rallies featured music by the school band, cheers led by the cheering squad, and speeches by our coaches, the Brothers, members of the football team, and members of other local football teams.

All the seniors were really interested in their future work now. and the coming years will show how these talks have helped us. Rehearsals for the Senior Play began in February, and Whistling in the Dark, a comedy, proved to be even more entertaining than had been expectedg we had some real actors in our class. l.ate in lfebruary the staff of the Year Book was selected and worked hard to put out a book which would surpass all that went before. Ours is the tenth gradu- ating class: our edition of the Towers should commemorate the anniversary. The support given by the seniors to the Towers and to the Senior Play surpassed all previous records. One thing we all enjoyed this year was being photographed. As the Towers goes to press, we are still expecting the talent scouts from Hollywood to be look- ing us up almost any day. One senior complained because they had cast Gable as Rhett Butler before he had a chance to apply for the job. Throughout the four years at Central, we, the Class of '40, have participated in many other activities in addition to those already mentioned. The German Club taught the German students about German culture and customs. Future law- vers, judges, and G men were members of the Law and Crime Club. The cam- era fiends, who could be seen snapping at every important school event were members of the Camera Club. The boys who took part in the program on KQV were members of the Radio Club. The hunters and sharp-shooters of the school were enrolled in the Rifle Club. Those boys who have to get a shave and a hair cut between moves are members of the Chess Club. The Aeroplane Club was backed by all the high-minded boys in the school. Organizations for the students' parents included 'the Mothers' Guild which backed each school enterprise and undertook the making of new uniforms for the Band. The Father and Son's Club helped many a father to understand his son's problems. This club has provided the boys with a summer camp site. The track team has already established a name for itself. but the baseball team has not as yet progressecl beyond the practice stage. The Class of '40 saw the beginning of hockey. tennis, and golf teams. These teams have broken the trail for future Centralites, and. we hope, will soon be heard from in their respective fields. .-Xs we seniors prepare now to leave the towers of Central, many are planning college courses, others are planning to go to work. As we go into Senior Retreat, with four happy years behind and a life-time of who-knows-what ahead of us, we will all hope and pray that many generations of boys to come will enjoy Cen- tral and the Brothers as much as we have and that we, in our own way, will be able to make Central proud to number us among its altunni.

These programs are presented to the freshmen only here at Central, who have enjoyed several plays and fine musical programs in honor of the day. The association has many spiritual advantages, as more than thirty plenary indulgences and numerotts partial indttlgences are granted to members on the ordinary conditions. The cettter of the organization is the chapel of the Brothers' community in Bethlehem. At the present titne it is estimated that there are over two httndred thousand enrolled members of the association. The most important condition of membership is to be enrolled therein, and thereby be entitled to share in the litany spiritual advantages of the Archconfraternity. All the students of Central are members and are therefore entitled to these spiritual advantages. The seniors especially should remember this and in the years to come contintte to reap the benefits which can be derived frotn the Archconfraternity.

BROTHER DAVID LEO Moderator of Athletics Brother David Leo has been the Moderator of Athletics during our four happy years at Central Catholic. Arrangements for football and basketball games with the best schools and the physical, mental, and moral responsibility for the young stars under his care are his most important obli ations. All of these and countless others have been cheerfully taken care of. Brother is also Dean of the Freshman Department. May the future Central students be as fortunate as we, in having Brother David Leo to encourage them from their first days at Central. Our words of gratitude would fill a book, our best wishes for his future success empty all volumes of thanks. WILLIAM W. DONOHOE Coach of Football and Basketball Bill Donohoe is a veteran Viking Chief in every sense of the word. For ten years, Centralites have looked up to him with admiration because of the ability he has shown in coaching our athletic teams. Many ofthe boys who have been under his guidance at Central are now outstanding athletes at some of our largest colleges over the country, and a few old timers are now holding coaching positions them- selves. Coach Donohoe's boys seem to assimilate the spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship for which he is noted, and his teams are always applauded by opposing teams and coaches for their outstanding athletic ability. As the students o physics know, Bill is not only an athlete but a scholar as well. While attending the Carnegie Institute of Technology, where he majored in physics, he became nationally known for his prowess on the gridiron. May the faculty of Central long enjoy the presence of this fine Catholic gentleman. Page One Hundvligvlteen .W new 'lv -n 4 'Q I , Q V, . -T ,Q .l Y , It gmt,-,v - A V 'f X- g .

Football According to Coach llonohoe, the lootlball team this season was about the linest aggregation ol' athletes in Viking history, but due to the lack ol' proper lacilities. extremely had conditions. and a very dillicull schedule. we were limited to hut two wins, two ties. and lour losses. 'I'he main dilhculty lay in the lact that a suit- ahle practice lield could not he had.

These. and other hoys who do not go on to college. will exemplily in the - were contest George could be seen all over the field. On the defense he broke up more plays than any other player, and on the offense he was a man with glue fingers on the receiving end of passes. A better captain never lived! The high scorer during the season was jazz Maloney, who had I9 points to his credit. Mecca followed with 14, Itzel came through with 13, Schreibeis accounted for 12, Vincent had 7, Bulger and Schuster followed with 6 apiece, and Clark and Merchant each had l. A total of 79 oints for the season. The Bellaire, Ohio game, during which the team clicked perfectly, was the reason for Ma1oney's high num- ber of points. Mecca and Itzel made their score against the strongest opposition. The Vikings were plrepared for battle by a week's stay at the camp of the Father and Son's Club. T e camp is located on an exceptionally fine spot in Bedford County. About forty boys attended the camp. The boys worked out twice a day, a two-hour drill in the morning and four hours' scrimmage in the afternoon, followed by a swim in the camp's lake. CENTRAL 6-REDSTONE 6 The traditional rivals of the Blue and Gold were tied for the first time in several years. Redstone was always considered the favorite over the Vikings so our boys were overjoyed at their score. The game was a scoreless tie throughout the first two quarters. During the third quarter Redstone started marching on the kickoff. After three successive First downs they were on our Five-yard line and with two plunges they made good their touchdown. Their attempt for the extra point was stopped by our line. Our chances came at the close of the third quarter when we scored our first tally but our extra point was void. The number of first downs was, by far, in our favor, still it was not in the cards for us to win. It was difficult to pick a star from this game. Our outstanding men were Captain Schreibeis and Ralph Angel 3 both were in Redstone's backfield all afternoon. CENTRAL 20-ALTOONA 0 Captain Schreibeis led the bold Vikings, in true warrior fashion, to their Hrst touchdown in the first quarter. Jack ltzel made the first score by plunging over from the four-yard line after a number of first downs had been made by a clicking ground machine. Ralph Mecca accounted for another tally in the second quarter when he ran around end for twenty yards. Bob Mologne crossed the white mark for the third touchdown on a long pass from Ralph Mecca. Two out of three conversions were good, raising our total to 20 points. Mike Basrak's boys were held to a scoreless game but the Altoona gridders showed more fight than we have seen for some time. It was Mike's first season with Altoona Catholic, so the boys weren't in the Basrak groove when we met them.

The next score was made for the Blue and Gold when Schreibeis scored on a forty-yard pass after Vincent took out the safety man in true Viking fashion. In the second quarter, Ralph Mecca plunged over from the four-yard line and then Maloney scored on a beautiful end run. In the last quarter Maloney scored again. All extra points were good but one. CENTRAL 12-DONORA 14 On the kickoff, the Vikings marched straight down the field and scored a touch- down after a number of First downs. Joyce Maloney made the first score by carry- ing the ball on an end run. The kick was blocked, depriving us of the extra point. The Dragons made two touchdowns in the second quarter and succeeded in mak- ing the extra points, leaving the score at the half, 14 to 6. Through the third quarter the score remained the same but in the last quarter we made another tally. Jack Itzel, a sophomore, fplunged over from the three-yard line. The kick was blocked again, leaving the nal score-14 to 12. CENTRAL 0-BROWNSVILLE 38 This game, which was played on the Brownies' home field on Thanksgiving day, was the last game of the '39 season. The Blue and Gold defense was at its best but the terrible weather conditions made it difficult for them to stop the Brownies' powerful backs. Three touchdowns were made by the means of long cpasses, all of which were over forty yards, before the Brownies' had made a first own. A few costly fumbles stymied the Viking's attempts at a touchdown. The bad weather made the pigskin a little heavy for Schuster to make those passes to Schreibeis which were unusually effective. The Centralites came closest to the Brownies' goal during the last half, when we came up to their twenty.

From the outset it was one thrill after another. The first four points were scored by the Vikings, then Halelton scored four points. lt was even all the way. until the last 30 seconds when Meyers scored a goal, making the final tally 24-23 in favor of Central Catholic. The following afternoon, Saturday, the Vikings played Johnstown, but the Red and Cold of .lohnstown were a little too fast for a tired Blue and Gold five. Although our defense was outstanding ottr offense was under par. NVe scored 14 points, while Johnstown was scoring 22. In the finals on Saturday evening, Central won the consolation game front iVil- liamsport, 24-21. This entitled them to the Consolation Trophy. The Vikings' appearance on the floor of the Tournament could not be surpassed for their display of sportstnanship and athletic ability. On returning from XVilliamsport, the team received an invitation to participate in the National Tournament in Chicago. The team left for the Nlindy City by ittlltb, arriving there the afternoon of the opening game of the tournament. Central played the following afternoon, eliminating Loras Academy, Champions of Iowa. E50-28. ln the second round, on the following day, before 4,000 spCt'l2ll0l'S, Central was defeated by St. Leo High, Champions of Chicago, in the most thrilling game of the tournatnent. The lelllll arrived home at I o'clock on Tuesday, bringing with them the cup for the cleverest offensive play. Bill Feeney, a sophomore, won the trophy for all- tournament center. The entire student body assembled in the attditorittnt to welcome the team. A special feature of the rally was a rebroadcasting of the St. l.eo's game through the courtesy of station VVWVSXV. I Track Team The first tneet in which the Vikings competed, was held at the University of Pittsburgh's Track House with Mt. Lebanon and Canonsburg High Schools on March 9, ISI40. Although the nttntber of points scored by the Blue and Gold was not very encouraging, the boys gave a fine display of sportsmanship and according to the opinions of several coaches, a nutnber of potential champions participated for Central Catholic. Central's first track teatn is under the direction of XVilliam Devine. of the University of Pittsburgh, who is at present in charge of Physical Education at Central Catholic.
