In addition to this, we are commemorating the 50th Anniversary of his canoni- zation. For this reason the year 1951 has been dedicated to him and called the La Sallian year. Here at Central, we take pride in acknowledging him as the forerunner and founder of our own Christian Brothers. We can be sure that St. La Salle's most ardent desire was to see Catholic young men aspire for a place of high esteem in this world, while constantly progressing in the path to their eternal goal. The cherished hope of this dedication is to pro- claim to the world the admirable attainments brought about by the earnest endeavors of this Godly man. The educational world thinks of him merely as in Glory the founder of the Christian Brothers. However, this is but one of his many accomplishments. Too few realize that, but for St. de La Salle and his many followers, education would still be in its dark- est stages. During the early years of his life, St. La Salle saw that the schooling of young men was in an extremely sorry state. He determined that with the help of God, he would set about to remedy this. And remedy it he did. Today the fruits of his labors are manifold throughout the civilized world. We of Central can be certain that we are re- ceiving an education in which we are learning to seek out the soul. The more one learns in science, crafts, and letters-or anything for that matter- the closer one gets to God, who is the fountain of all knowledge. St. La Sallels righteous influence has motivated every phase of our school life. St. La Salle distributing food to the hungry. Christian Brothers and St. La Salle taking vows. The early Brothers and their founder before the Shrine of Our Lady. The humility of St. John Baptist de La Salle is easily seen in this portrait. The humble saint gave away his vast patrimony to the poor so as to set an example for his followers. X 3- .., a fx My Q The glory of St. La Salle in heaven is probably above conception of the human mind. After the vast amount of good work he did here on earth, we are sure he has a high seat in heaven. it L,.,,,. , News 17575. t . .33 ,Tip 7 ,,hV 1 wmmmn Recently, Pope Pius XII in his Papal Brief, pro- claimed St. John Baptist de La Salle, Patron Saint of All Teachers. In his life span of about sixty years, he accomplished more in the iield of Chistian education than anyiotherrman. This saintly person was the first to inaugurate the idea of visual aid in the instruction of students. Another novel idea of Sty de LaSalle wasjthe segregation of boys into classes of equal ability and to provide the same textbooks for all boys. His educational principles of the seventeenth century are the educational prin- ciples of today. The criteria of modern education owes its existence to this saintly man of Rheims, the Father of Modern Pedagogy.

God has given the Christian world few men of his caliber. Among those few St. de La Salle stands out in virtue. Because of the saintly devotion of his life to God, young boys, and education, this year is set aside in his memory. Throughout the La Sallian Year, all the students of Central Catholic should make a special effort to show their devotion to him. Even after graduation, the esteem of St. John Baptist de La Salle should remain in the hearts of these students. St. Paulls Cathedral, which is the episcopal seat of the dio- cese, is one of the most magni- hcent ediflces in the country. Its Gothic structure serves to delineate the beauty and cul- ture of our city. St. Paul's is truly a manifestation of the homage that men owe their creator. En ironment Two blocks from the school -these familiar words will ring in Central graduates' ears long after graduation. Beyond these two blocks are the homes of some 1600 students who daily pass in and out of the great dividing line, never noticing the build- ings they pass, and the street they are on. Streets that contain some of the greatest educa- tional institutions established. Carnegie Institute of Technology is one of the highest engineering schools in the country. The University of Pitts- burgh and Duquesne are respected highly in the fields of medicine and pharmacy. Pittsburgh's steel mills and factories have made it internationally known as the workshop of the worldf' Our own great St. Paul's Cathedral, illustrates the cities attitude toward the spiritual aspects of life. These religious, industrial, and educational at- tributes make Pittsburgh the great Metropolis it is today. An unusual winter view of a familiar scene in Oakland that illustrates the prominent role this active center plays in the athletic, civic, and educational program of Pittsburgh. the campus. Daily after lunch, with the exception of inclement weather, this familiar scene is depicted. This stroll helps to take the strain and tension from the serious business of our tedious academic schedule. In addition, it gives the fellows a chance to visit the Chapel and tell God their troubles and ask His aid. Here, the students are heard 'discussing what's what in and out of school. Many of the friendships which continue throughout life are formed while walking around C HROUGH TWELVE MONTHS of the year the Chris- ian Brothers are motivated by the objectives of their inspired founder, St. John Baptist de la Salle. The fruit of their labor is men, such as those who will be graduated this June. During four years at Central the Brothers have instilled into the minds of these students certain principles and ideals which will be used again and again in their spiritual and temporal life. Many times they will think back and remember the Brothers and the invaluable know- ledge they gained from them. We are more than fortunate to have as teachers the Christian Brothers. wuffy .... ...gm ' wi I ll-4 L 1. 5 ff. W Qu W mm 2, ' ' 3 QW M ima ' 9, V5 ,:.:. . 'US QQ!-1 V -f'k 1253 f A . ,,.

Known for his enthusiastic work in the education of Catholic youths, the Bishop has made Catholic education in Pittsburgh, one of his personal assignments. The Guiding Light For In Memoriam MOST REVEREND HUGH C. BOYLE The late Bishop, our beloved Bishop Boyle, was head of the Pittsburgh Diocese for over one quarter of a century Coming here many years ago as a young man, he devoted his lifetime to service and building his cherished Community and diocese. He became nationally famous for his great deeds or charity, vision for enterprise, and ingenuity of action and accomplishment. He was loved by all creeds for his wonderful character, goodness of mind and great humility. Our Scholastic Achievement Father Quigley is constantly on the alert to bring to his Diocesan schools new progressive programs. His revision of courses and methods has won for him outstanding recogni- tion among school superintendents. REV. FATHER THOMAS J. QUIGLEY Superintendent of Diocesan Schools Being Superintendent of the Schools of the Diocese of Pittsburgh is in itself no small job. But Father Thomas J. Quigley has not let his many duties push his interest in the academic extra- curricula activities of the students of the diocese into the shadows. We are deeply indebted to Father Quigley for helping us to prepare for the uncertain future. The programs which he has been conducting throughout the diocese Certainly show his enthusiasm in making our days in school more beneiicial to us. No one is more concerned about the ultimate success of Central students than our principal. Brother Anthony's energy and enthusiasm for scholastic accomplishment are traits that all recognize and strive to imitate. Our' new vice-principal, Brother John, has already won the admiration and praise of every Centralite. Every student has benefitted from his calm deliberation in helping us with our problems.

Such an education is possible only because the teachers are Christian Brothers. This organization of select men was founded in 1684 by Saint John Baptist de la Salle, and to this day, the rules that he laid down are followed. The Brothers instruct the students under them in both spiritual and temporal needs. Their principal desire is that every young man who gradu- ates from Central be a fine example of a Christian gentleman. With this in mind, we, as students of -Central, should do our best to follow the high ideals and splendid example of these Christian Brothers. Proving the fact that teacher's work is never done, these Brothers are devoting some of their time in preparation of the following days lessons. We all appreciate their work.

These Catholic men are most capable teachers and also set a fine example to us of the Catholic man in the world. These men and women have been graduated from some of the foremost colleges and universities. They are well trained in the field of education, which can be proved by their promising students. In the cycles of sports, science, education, busi- ness training and social interests, we, as the gradu- ates before us, recognize the important role which the faculty plays. Although they join in with the boys and work with them side by side, they are always respected. There is a sincere relationship between the lay teacher and the student. These teachers are to be commended on their line job of making men out of boys. Brother Austin, a well known personage at Central, is caught in the act of administering his many guidance duties. His assistance to seniors is both spiritual and temporal. 'flat -E fi, ,.

As freshman we were gently but firmly led through the transitional period. In our sophomore year, we began to enjoy being educated. As juniors, We chose the course which suited our future. At the start of our senior year, we were amazed to dis- cover that the polish which the Brothers had tried so hard to coat us With had finally taken hold. The four years add up to a solid preparation for life. just one question remains unanswered: just how do the Brothers do it? 675 5555 Q Z2 i S X E...- i' 4 X ' Q f x ' S W . f -M my i S W5 Cx Qi Year Men Sth 4th CLASS SF Row: J.

The clubs and organizations do a hne job in relieving the tension of the classroom. The many students who take advantage of this remarkable activity program will attest to its bene- iits. There is nothing like it to develop the hidden talent of Central students. Many friendships are made through the participation in activities. Long after graduation, one may forget the knowledge he has accumulated at Central, but one will always remember the happy times he has had in his special activity. H if lil?

It brings us word of what is going on in the outside world, it serves as a who's who, and gives us the local sports coverage. The staff of this proud institution at Central worked many long days and nights to bring the students the news of different interests. The paper was handled very capably under the guidance of Brother Bernardine, the moderator, and Richard Ford, the Editor-in-Chief. The ' home office of this publication is located on the third floor. It is really a place of peace and quiet. The staff is Central Catholic's monthly publication, the Viking, is a sounding board for the likes and dislikes, the puns and wise- cracks, and above all, the genial attitude of the student body toward faculty, studies, and their fellow classmates. On thc staff of the Viking we find a mixture of every type usually running around trying to meet a deadline. Most of them will be dreaming a year from now of layout sheets, deadlines to be met, lost excuse slips, and misplaced articles. The Viking of 1950 was acclaimed by all as one that could never be equaled, but the 1951 edition proved to be just as good, maybe even better. All of us will remember, and reserve a little spot in our memory for 'ITHE VIKINGV of student. In the picture below, you will be able to pick out those that are serious, the happy-go-lucky guy, and, of course, the fellow who leans to the clownish side of life.

TOWERS Realizing the necessity for an early start, Mr. Einloth, Towersl' moderator, appointed his staff early in Gctober. The responsibilities and duties were equally distributed among the staff to prevent undue burdens on the editors. During these first few months, the preliminary plans were made, and the editors selected their assistants. They began working vigorously toward the publication of the HTowers.'l Hundreds of photographs were taken and articles on every phase of Central activity were recorded. The La Sallian Year, in honor of Saint john Bap- tist de la Salle, was chosen as the theme for the 4'Towers. Its cover was decided upon with much deliberation, and the book was dedicated to the founder of the Christian Brothers. Dick Croft and Al Reid Art Editors Mr. Andrew F.

Ranked as one of the leading choruses in the tri-state area, they have performed at such social functions as the Lower Pittsburgh Ping-Pong Play- cffs and the Allegheny River Skiff Meets. Seriously, we will remember the glee club for their bril- liant work in our operettas, minstrels and assemblies.

In a year or two these boys will be the senior members of the Glee Club. , One of the most popular extra-curricular activities is our Glee Club. It is under the capable direction of Mr. Robert Angel and Brother F. Benedict. Our choral group has been made known to the students by their appearances at assemblies. In the annual school operetta, the Glee Club plays an important role. From its ranks the chorus is formed, and most of the soloists are selected. Our operetta could not be so successful unless the Glee Club supplied such excellent star performers. This achievement is brought about only by the many hours of practice spent twice weekly in room 412. Central is indeed fortunate to have representing it on many occasions these fine talented songsters. They have done different types of shows and have always rendered an excellent account of themselves. Rhapsoclians BLUE KNIGHTS The Blue Knights is one of the most popular groups that make up the musical department here at Central Catholic. During the past year, they have contributed to the entertainment of the Menls Club, the Mothers' Guild and the student assemblies. Besides these appearances, they also made a public appearance at Duquesne University. There they presented a program of popular music on Duquesne's comparatively new radio station WDUQ. The Blue Knights were founded several years ago by its present director, Mr. Ted Lamb. Com- posed of students possessing outstanding musical ability, there are added improvements and talent discovered each year. The latest is the accordion section, comprised of six accomplished accordionists. From the popularity it has gained in recent years, we can predict a still greater future for this excep- tional group of musicians. Ted Lamb's be-bop beaters are caught by the birdie man during one of their more serious sessions. The Blue Knights, under the direction of the able Mr. Lamb, never fail to thrill the student body with their mellow rhapsodies. This selected group from Lamb's Hock, make up Central's secular musicians. These Whitman style warblers, who play in a manner much reminiscent of the Great Paul, are Central Catholic's pride and joy. Take a bow fellows! Bob Diciero, a well-liked Blue Knights veteran, coaches Russ Grosso and Ed Dettling as they try a duet, while Don Guyker, a hopeful Sophomore, looks on. Piano: Edwin Dettling.

Brother Gregory, moderator of the Science Honor Society, gives with one of his famous jovial sayings, as he comments on the society emblem. Smiles Ziolkowski is President of the honorary group. The Path To Honor SCIENCE HONOR SOCIETY Under the competent guidance of Brother Gregory Nazianzen, the Science Honor Society has become one of the better known clubs here at Central. Com- posed of honor students from the Catholic high schools of Pittsburgh, it has two aims: to arouse scientific interest in its members, and to promote social programs. Interesting lectures are given by prominent scientific men, invited to speak at the meetings which are held bi-monthly. Occasionally, dances are held afterwards at the high school se- lected by the moderator. Every year, a large dance is held at Duquesne Universityis gym. HISTORY HONOR SOCIETY To some Central Students, the History' Period fmuch to the dismay of some Brothersj, is the favorite time to catch up on lost sleep. However, most boys find History a means oi obtaining a good foundation in American Principles, and spend their periods in a more profitable manner. From this group are chosen those boys who have shown exceptional interest in history, and are in- vited to join the History Honor Society. Through many social gatherings and meetings, this group is kept well informed on current events and the demo- cratic way of life. Members of one of Central's select activities, the History Honor Society, pose for the 1951 'tTowers photographer. Under the guidance of Mr. M. Trichtinger, these historically minded boys, with an elevated standard of American prin- ciples flowing through their proud veins, represent Central to a high degree in the district's various historical and social functions.

Brother Austin, moderator of the Benilde Club, goes over the club's records with several of his more active members, Paul Dishart, James Colligan, and James Summa. The Future THE BENILDE CLUB The Benilde Club was formed here at Central by Brother Austin about three years ago. Its main objective is to give to boys, here at Central, the opportunity of investigating the nature of the re- ligious life and the priesthood. Many have the idea that to be a member, you must have a vocation to the religious life. However, this is not true, for the club is also for the purpose of guidance. It gives its members an intelligent outlook on the religious life, independently of joining one. Meet- ings are held throughout the year, during which, dis- cussions are given concerning subjects of interest to all. There is no publicity for the club, and no offices, awards or letters are given. During the past year, the club aided the Diocesan Vocation Conference and was called upon to make various exhibits. The fine spirit shown by the members of the Benilde Club is an excellent example to all Catholic youth, for every boy who is graduated from a Catholic school should have the correct outlook concerning the various aspects of the religious life. Hammer! Nails! Saw! Yes, these are familiar words as the Stage Crew goes to work. Under the fine direction of Brother Felician John, these backstage handymen have done much to produce fine props for many a good show. Behind the Scenes The men behind the scenes. Seldom do these students re- ceive the reward and glory due to them. Some outstanding crewmen are: Jimmy Shea, Richard Mountel, Burke Iurges, and Paul O'Donnell. Their only reward is the delight of viewing the success of a stage production. These talented boys are among those responsible for the colorful displays seen around the school.

The Art Club prepares a display on the wall around the bookstore. This display is intended to heighten the Viking spirit among the students. The Art Club, under the cap- able direction of Brother G. Edward, has posted many dis- plays on this wall during the year Central Catholic's stage crew is one of the school's more productive activities. This group supplies all the scenery and lighting for Central's many dra- matic productions. - Members of the stage crew gain a knowledge of electrical wiring and scenery as- sembly that is many times a stepping stone to a 1ife's work. Working in close union with the stage crew, the art club, another of Central's highly active groups, spends its time designing and painting backgrounds for Central's plays, operettas, and minstrels. The many hall displays, which plug the various booster drives throughout the year, are other ex- amples of their work. It's queen for queen and pawn for pawn as members of the Chess Club match wits while Brother G. William looks on. This same familiar scene is depicted daily in the school cafeteria at 2:45, where practice sessions are held. As de- depicted above, Larry Geisler, matched with John Johnny- cake Perri, While Max Mueller takes on William Stephens. i The Chesty Chess -todians CHESS CLUB This year Central did not sponsor a Chess Club until after the league had started. Brother William, Moderator of the club, was concentrating on the Chess Team, which has belonged to the Western Pennsylvania Scholastic League since the organiza- tion of that group. Instead of remaining in the Iohnnycake Perri calmly awaits as his opponent, Bill same local section as in preceding years, Central has been given new opponents as the schedule shows. Central placed second this year in their section. The Viking Chessmen are: Max Mueller SIS, Wil- liam Stephens 1-IC, John Johnny Cake Perri ZSS, Roger Mulvihill 7F, Larry Geisler 3S, and John Haut 7F . Members of this year's Chess Club discuss plans and work out strategic battle movements as they prepare for a vig'- orous clash of wits with their fellow teammates. Stevens, innocently walks into a trap. All the boys in the Chess Club learn patience, as shown by Perri. its Always Be Prepared THE SCOUTING CLUB Under Brother Gedeon Charles, its founder and moderator, the Scouting Club outlines a very active program. They divide their club time between swimming, bowling, and various camping trips. The spiritual side is also observed. On a specified Sun- day, they hold their Communion Breakfast. After the breakfast, a complete schedule of activities in- cluding basketball, swimming, bowling, movies and lunch takes place. CENTRAL CATHOLIC MEN ,S CLUB Although this organization is the newest club in our school's history, their program is replete with outstanding accomplishments. In September, the official Central Catholic Hand Book which we re- ceived, was printed and distributed by them. Cen- tral will be the beneficiary of other far-reaching projects that interest the Men's Club. The Central Catholic Mens' Club was recently formed as a counterpart to the Mother's Guild. The Mens' Club plans to sponsor many projects for the bene- iit of Central students. A group of the scouts studying camp lore.

Assisting Frank in this organization were: Ed Totin, Jim Guttendorf, Rees james and the rest of the school class presidents. They help to run the school in an orderly, system- atic way. The newly acquired armbands gave the members an official look even though the S.C. on them was humorously referred to as t'Senior Com- mandoesf' Besides planning assemblies and keep- ing order, the Student Council brings a closer union between the faculty and the students. Our Council was, this year as in other years, one of the notes in the harmony of everyday school life. President Frank DeCarlo is surrounded by the members of his cabinet: Rees James, Treasurer, Jim Gutterdorf, Secretaryg and Ed Totin, Vice-President. These stern looking, able-bodied fellows have proven themselves as more than satisfactory middlemen between the faculty and the student body. Artful Arbitrators DEBATING CLUB Under the able direction of Broth-er Joseph, Senior English teacher, the Debating Club does an admir- able job of preparing its members for future life. To succeed in practically every branch of society, a person must be able to express himself fluently. Debating furnishes the best training in this line. A debator not only has to speak clearly and intelli- gently, but he must also be on the alert to pick out any fault in his opponent's reasoning. Almost everyone, at one time or another, finds himself in a position, where he must present his opinion in such a way, that anybody who is listening will be convinced. For many people, this is difficult. and the only way to overcome the difficulty is to practice. Here at Central, the Debating Club gives every student a chance to acquire this self-conii- dence and practice in public speaking. The effective thinking demanded in public speaking and debating is made pos- sible through study, exchange of thought and research. These boys will attest to that fact: Michael Nee, Robert Hill, Daniel McGrath, Gerry Haluck. Howard Obman, James McGuire, Robert Martzo. Orators in the making? Could be. For these members of the Debating Club, through the guidance of Brother Joseph and the experience gained from inter-scholastic debates, master tactful oration, The Central Catholic's Mother's Guild is to be commended on the excellent work they have done for the benefit of the school. By participating in activities to raise money, these women have helped to defray expenses not only here but also at Ammendale. A boy's best friend is his mother.

It is for that reason that all schools, large and small, provide an athletic program of some degree. At Central Catholic, although it must bow to scholastic mandates, sports have always been stressed. In 1950-51 the school iielded varsity squads in football, basketball, track, cross-country, swimming, bowling and tennis. A heavy intramural schedule was also arranged for basketball, softball, bowling, and rifle. Sports is an immortal American custom. We-wif 'UW 95 1? 1- , X fav si 9 3-f .

Ten days of hard training at Cambridge Springs preceded the rugged season which had seven WPIAL Class AA op- ponents. The Blue and Gold won the opener from Turtle Creek, edging the Creekers 14-13. Franny Bvrnes scored the first TD of the year on a 51 yard pass from Don Schaefer. Don Bailey made the season's largest run with the second half kickoff, gaining 85 yards. As the season progressed, the Vikings improved. Losses to McKeesport C25-61 and Har- Brack C13-61 were games which the Skorichmen could have won if a few breaks had been available. The first victory since 1936 was scored over New Kensington by a 7-6 score. Canonsburg and Central battled to a 0-O tie although scoring opportunities were afforded both squads. The Clairton Bears were next to feel the scourge of the Viking grid machine. Bailey scored fifteen points in leading Central to a 21-6 triumph. The bottom dropped out of the Viking defense against the Aliquippa Indians and a 35-O drubbing resulted. The Duquesne game was rained out and had to be postponed to a week after the North contest. The Vikings pounded out a 21-6 victory. Byrnes tallied twice. 3rd row: Nick Skorich, Ccoachjg B. Gorman, B. Kaminski F. Szymanski, R. Cassidy, P. Sigmore, I. Stokes, J. Sweeney E. Malinowski, P.

The game was played at 12:45 on Armistice Day. It was the first time the contest was not held at Forbes Field under the lights. The Trojans received and drove deep into Cen- tral territory before losing possession on a fumble. A few plays later the Vikings were forced to punt. The Trojans moved into Central territory again, Richie McCabe, Trojan star, finally romped six- teen yards into the end zone for a score. The con- version attempt was unsuccessful. Early in the second period the weirdest scoring play in the history of the Viking-Trojan series took 7 place. Don Bailey, Central quarterback, attempting to skirt the end, juggled the ball and Winghart, a North end, snared the pigskin in mid-air and raced sixty-three yards for a touchdown. Franny Byrnes was the only gold-shirted gridder who had even a remote chance of catching Winghart, and Franny just didn't have the speed. The conversion was good and the Trojans had a lead of 13 to O, which they never relinquished. The Vikings battled furiously to try to overcome this advantage, but fumbles and other incidents thwarted all scoring opportunities. It was the first time a Central team was shutout by their Northside rivals.

Tony Carrado was one of the outstanding weight men on the cinder-squad. Tony throws the javelin, shotput and dis- cus. It is difficult for hurdlers to develop grace and timing. These boys are Centralls tops in the hurdling department. The distance events are the specialties of this group. En- durance is stressed in the 880, and 'one mile races. Under the able guidance of Brother Emery, coach and moderator, the Central Catholic track con- tingents of the past four years have compiled a remarkable record which can be equaled by few schools in the area. Exclusive of the '51 campaign, the Viking cindermen have been victorious in thirty- two consecutive meets. These wins were recorded over some of the districts better squads, including, Ambridge, Canonsburg, Brentwood, Carrick, New Kensington, Carnegie Tech Frosh, Jeanette Harriers, Turtle Creek, Allderdice, Schenley, Fifth Avenue, Penn and several others. The Blue and Gold thinclads have also performed with considerable success at the Little Washington Relays, he-ld at Washington, Pa. and the Wheeling Relays, and annual event at Martin's Ferry, Ohio. The cindermen annually make a bid for the Cath- olic State Championship at the state-wide meet in Reading, Pa., in early June. Brother Emery and his boys usually return from these gigantic meets laden with team and individual awards ranging from a small shiny button to an oversized gold trophy. This phenominal winning, habit is no accident. Those, who expect to be regular track men for a coming campaign, must begin the training grind in early Februray, in an effort to be in the peak of condition and to have developed top form prior to the initial engagement. Track has become Centralls most successful sport with regards to wins and losses. l O Cmdermen Always Hard To Beat On your mark! Get set! Go!

However, if one will consider the handicaps under which the mermen labored, the season does not seem too bad. The swimming team had no training facilities, save the waters of distant Oliver pool. A swimming team without a pool is as handicapped as a fish out of water. The Vikings dropped their first meet to Du quense 51-15. The Little Dukes are a perennian power of the water ways.

The sport has grown rapidly at Central since Brother began the activity only a couple oi years ago. Outstanding keglers have been produced by the truckloads, and many of them have won medals and trophies. Don Bechtold was Central's outstanding kegler. His consistent high scoring gained him much recognition in district circles. Bowling is not a skill gained overnight, long hours of practice are necessary. Team One always was high in the league standings. It is no wonder when such accurate bowlers as, Standing: Frank DeCarlo, Don Bechtold, Nick Landolina, Mike Messina.

Murphy and Patterson are veterans of three years. Pepsters Produce Pandemonium An ancient adage reads thusly: A chain is as strong as its weakest link. A modern version of this aged expression may be applied to sports: 'CA team is as strong as its student supportf' It has always been the duty of the cheerleaders to engenerate student enthusiasm and cheering. There are many loyal, staunch and true Central rooters and they certainly had a capable energetic group of cheerleaders leading them this year. Brother E. James was the moderator of this crew, which did such a commendable job. s 'Q t ' M if 'ff' ,f ,,.-Q'5 .

It is an appliance cheerleaders cannot do without-the famous mega- phone. Physical energy and an unquenchable school spirit are requisites for cheerleaders. Upper: Lawrence Langer, Gerald Sanders, and Vincent Walla check over the results of the days rifle activities. The charts are kept so that sharpshooting awards may be given on merit only. Rifiers pause for a moment to view the results of their volley of fire. The targets are checked and careful records are kept of each boy's shooting. THE RIFLE CLUB The rifie club, judging from its large membership, is one of Central's most popular extra-curricular activities. The late Brother Denis of Jesus and Brother E. Leo, the present moderator, have im- proved both the club members and facilities. The club rarely schedules meets outside the school. However, inter-club battles are a frequent occur- ance. Medals and honor awards are given those sharpshooters who merit them. Upper left: Ready, aim, fire! Herman Lienemann, Ray- mond Nardi, and Raymond Giavanneli appear ready to do just that. The ritie club always stress safety first. They haven't lost a member yet. These boys anxiously await their turn on the firing line. Many members of the club own their own rifles. For those who don't the club supplies several .22 caliber guns. Sharpshooters Emphasi e Safety T e Sfwatter's Stor Don Riedel and Bob Charland are Cen- tral's hopes for a good tennis squad next year. This pair of Juniors with the added experience will be hard to beat in '5Z. A sunny day and the 'fszockw of a ball against a racquet can mean only that a tennis match is in progress. Tennis at Central has been a fixture for several springs and 1951 was no exception. At present Brother G. Lewis, the moderator, and Mr. Rauterkus, the coach, have been working together for two seasons and have developed some terrific Left, Left to right: Don Riedel, Dick Dolan, Bob Charland, Rege Cassidy and Dick Beggy, watching Mr. Rauterkus demonstrate the proper stance.

Tennis is a sport which stresses most of the fundamental and outstanding characteristics of all other sports. Power, agility, endurance and accuracy are attributes of all renowned racqueteers. Perhaps a future Bill Tilden or Bobby Riggs will 'claim Cen- tral as his Alma Mater! Hail the Sophomore Champs Intramurals Profvide Exercise And Entertainment The action pictures on these two pages give you an idea of how hard the class teams battle for the honor of becoming champions of their department. This year the Shaughnessy playoff rules were in- voked, which made the games even more hard fought. The intramurals also demonsarate how successful an enterprise can be if there is co-operation. The faculty, students, athletic department and school administration had to work together in order to promote the interclass leagues.

Whether these activities are sponsored by Central or in the parish schools, Central is always well represented. The ambitious features produced at Central indicate the exceptional gift and ability of the producers and performers. Our plays and oper- ettas are invariable Broadway hits, and the proms, each year, feature the best bands available. Success is taken for granted because of the perfect coopera- tion of our high school boys and girls. Any dra- matic event at Central features girls from the parish schools. When the girls produce their shows, Central talent is certain to reciprocate. glddllil ex fl? , , KK MXN R ' u ,L 4 I kv! 3 , ' gm 4 I Q MM? .V fp, c X f sign f Ntugv 7 J f ..: .. In vi, .'V .

A cozy scene at Sacred Heart, with dim lights and soft music serenading the gay Lotharios, as Tommy Smith tries in vain, to persuade his partner to accompany him for 51 short snort at the Brass Rail. The dulcet music flowed as a stream of honey at Sacred Heart's gay social, while Rege Cassidy chews the fatu with his fair-haired femme fatale. The mellow fellow and his pert 'tskirt seem to be having a pleasant time. There is a dance this evening at ---- is a familiar phrase which often appears in our daily bulletin. These weekly socials which are held at various girls' high schools, play an important part in the development of our character, spirit, and personality. These gatherings have helped form many friendships, some of which may last a life time. They are also a means of bringing together the City's Catholic youth. As a freshman one wondered why anyone in his right mind would prefer a dance to a good double feature. As sophomores the idea became a little more reasonable. When the junior year came 'round, we were regular UGene Kelly's', at the dance. Then as seniors, we put our 'tbest foot forward to make each occasion a memorable one. A much-heard criticism of C.C.H.S. is that a boy can not acquire a well-rounded personality in an all-boy school, that he will lack facility in con- versing with the opposite sex. All that one must do to dispell this false idea is to look in on a Friday social at one of the diocesan parish lyceums. Here Cas any girl will tell youj, the Centralite is poise personified. Of course the Junior and Senior Proms are the events for really showing our command of social decorum. Such affairs are clinchers to the fact that we are gentlemen as well as scholars. Two Arms, Come spring, a young manis fancy lightly turns to thoughts of you know what, and come spring, Central Catholic conveniently supplies you know what for the boys. To every young rose therels a blossom time, and for every young blooded coyote thereis a time to howl, but to these red blooded American boys who study hard at Central Catholic, the Prom is the favorite means of fulfilling both the inherit needs. Yes indeed, the Prom is a needed form of education at Central, and we know that it will mean as much to students to come as it has to us.

But all those who saw our fourth musical, The Red Millf' will agree that it was an all out performance by a star-studded cast. This superb production was piloted by our able director of operettas and the maestro of the symphony orchestra. MALE CAST CBLOSSOM TIMEJ V. Acierno, W. Barna, F. Barrett, D. Bechtold, J. Boccella, R.

As the scenes unravel, the audience is dazzled by the pageantry and color of the rugged German terrain, inter- mingled with the gaiety and laughter of the com- mon folk of a country burg. As the plot is expanded, the simplest tale of all time, that of love and self-sacrifice, is told. Mitzi, the beautiful young daughter of the jolly Kranz, is wooed by the handsome Schober, in a most unusual way. Because of his shy nature, he is unable to state his love to Mitzi, and as a conse- quence, he hires the talented Schubert, who is secretly in love with Mitzi, to write love songs in her honor. As the beautiful strains of Schubert's Song of Love fill the air, Schober overcomes his shyness and tells Mitzi of his love for her,,and she, her love for him, while Schubert is content to keep his own love secret, and sacrifice himself for his friends' happiness. A highlight of every operetta at Central is the talented dancing of the girls from the Diocesan High Schools. The entertaining variety and the precision of performance combine to delight our audiences year after year. The Red Mill, one of Centralls most successful dramatic productions, was the result of the complete cooperation and unified efforts of the members of the cast and the directors. The outstanding costuming and scenery, as can be seen in the picture below, is a credit to Central Catholic. These young lovelies will do their best to thrill this years operetta patrons, and enchant the heart of their handsome partners in Central's Blossem Time Production. 441 Several handsome Central boys and beautiful girls from neighboring high schools are caught here in the act of posing for a picture, and just at the moment when cur photographer went by. Don't they look cute? Mofve Ofver Men, As we sit here reading this yearbook, we may never consider that if it were not for St john Baptist de la Salle, there would be no Central Catholic High School. If we just paused for a moment in thought, we would realize that the effects of this man's genius have been tremendous on our school life. During the years since he instituted the Christian Brothers, generations have been taught by them. Millions more have felt their influence by association with men who have received their instruction. In years to come, we will especially thank the Founding Father of the Christian Brothers for our religious training which he made possible. Central Catholic is but one of hundreds of institutions which have resulted from the great saint's workg the forty religious who serve us are but a fraction of La Salle's army of teachers. Perhaps a simple equation may best express the importance of his work: Boys as students plus Chris- tian Brothers as teachers equal well-trained Christian men ready to take their place in the world. The Senior Prom Committee confers with the Alumni on last minute details of their forthcoming social, the Alumni Spring Dance. This year, the piece de resistancel' of senior activity will be held in the Hotel Schenley. Q f N? v . ,, H LVLX - 4. ,,... W,.,,,, W 6 A wp NATM I N I I X'-ax.
