October 5, 1956 CARDINAL AND WH ITE Page Seven Flyers On Sunday afternoon, at 2:00 p. m., the Flyers will tangle with DeAndreis High School at Mercy's field. Back in the days when D.A. was still Northside High, Chami- nade slipped by with a 7-6 victory in one of the two encounters - let's see the Flyers do it again. CC vs. Cadasco On September 15, Chaminade opened its 1956 gridiron season against Country Day. Despite the 90 degree temperature and a slightly muddy field, both teams fought hard. Throughout the first half it was a yard for yard battle. In the sec- ond quarter the Flyers retaliated Codasco's early T. D. with a series of smashing drives deep in-to Co- dasco territory - spear-headed by Dardas, Hughes, and Satterthwaite. Hughes capped the drive by power- ing over from the five. The con- version failed and the score re- mained 7-6. Near the end of t-he first half another Codasco touch- down, with conversion, left the score 14-6, and the scoring for the day was done. In the second half, yards were hard fought, in the fourth quarter a Flyer drive was only a few yards from a score, when time ran out. CC vs. Valle On September 23, Chaminade's early iired touchdown eventually bowed to the brilliant runs of the Valle backmen in a 25-14 defeat. The opening minutes of the lst quarter were sparked by Chami- nade's recovery of a fumble and then a lengthy drive, climaxed by Steve Satterthwaite's line plunge. Neverthle-ss, Valle's scatbacks left a half score of 12-7. Again, in the second half, CC capitalized on Valle's fumble and with the pass-receive combination of Brown-Boyer scored the second touchdown. With Willey Garza's second conversion, the score stood at 14 to 12, favor of Chaminade. However, in the 4th quarter, Val1e's backfield explode-d any Cha- minade hopes of victory wit-h a quick touchdown in the last min- utes, and the game ended, Valle 25, 'Chaminade 14.

Julie yi C q N Wrox 6+ QQ CHAMINADE COLLEGE 3 f A CLAYTON, MISSOURI J L C' +0 CHAMINADE COLLEGE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1956 'No. 2 etreat loses Tod The world, the flesh and the devil took a trouncing the first three days of this week, when Chaminade men abandoned their textbooks for prayer books and proceeded to the serious business of their annual retreat. Chaminade became a literal powerhouse of prayer as the stu- dent body was seen throughout the days contemplating their spir- itual welfare and observing an admirable silence. The reading program established in many of the holnerooins was, most cer- tainly, a tremendous source of inspiration. Father Kramer, this year's re- treatmaster, is a well-known fig- ure around Chaminade. From du- ties as a junior religion and sophomore Latin teacher here, Father went on to assume respon- sibilities as assistant pastor of Our Lady of the Pillar Parish. lt was in this year of transition, 1952, that Father Kramer preached his first Chaminade retreat. Chaminade students wish to ex- press their gratitude to Father for an informative, inspirational retreat and to welcome him back as their retreat master. C. C. Honor Guard Chaminade students joined with Christian Brothers' College stu- dents o11 the eve of Catholic Youth Week, Oct. 28-Nov. 4, to aid Archbishop Ritter in the form of Catholic Honor Guards. Schools from the entire St. Louis area were in attendance. Both Bishop Helmsing and Archbishop Ritter spoke on youth and the effect they will wrought on the future of the world. BANQUET A SUCCESS Among the social highlights of the Chaminade year, the annual Father's and Sons' Banquet is one of the most cherished. This year the banquet was the largest ever recorded with 525 in attendance. The fathers and sons enjoyed a delectable Steak Francisco supplemented by other choice courses and eaten to the delightful strains of dinner music. Following the dinner, Dr. Russel G. Smith heartily welcomed all present at this 19th annual banquet. The toastmaster, John P. Ossenfort, was very wittingly disposed to act as such and einceed a very success- ful program. Father Blume was then introduced and expressed his appreciation for the fine Chaminade spirit displayed in the large at- tendance. Honorable .lohn K. Regan, the guest speaker, delivered a most eloquent and interesting address concerning the individual's responsibi- lity, as a citizen of our country and more specifically of our state and city, to serve devotedly on jury duty if ever requested to do so. Then came the entertainment, consisting of three novelty acts. The first act featured the art of prestidigitation. Next, a talented ventrilo- quist portrayed two not untypical characters, Clem and Soldier Boy. Finally a magical fountain act was enacted till the younger boys were saturated with fountain drinks, topped with the Atomic Soda. The evening was climaxed with the distribution of two dozen base- balls as attendance prizes. Father J. Willis Langlinais concluded the banquet and festivities with the Thanksgiving after meals.
