Zfafteltfell Bro. Joseph E. Konitzer, former cafeteria and study hall super- visor, has left Chaminade to re- sume his teaching activities at Assumption High School in East St. Louis, Illinois. Sent here to recuperate from a six month ill- ness, Brother Joseph took on the responsibilities of cafeteria super- intendent and study period moder- ator while awaiting further in- structions in regard to his teach- ing career. Likewise, Brother Frank Lange, who returned to Ohaminade after a year's absence, again departed to assume the post of librarian at Don Bosco High. Former 'Span- ish teacher, Brother Fra.nk's job this year consisted in maintenance and the alleviation of the trans- portation situation. Bro. Pinckert has replaced Bro. Lange. lhsiega .- hscln I Another milestone for half a milestonej has been reached in the cigarette industry. For years now, people in all walks of life have been trudging along with the same old weed. This year, this month, today, a earth-shaking rev- elation has startled the smoking world. New Furd, with the king- size flip-tip filter, and the marvel- ous flop-top box, has finally ar- rived in the resoundingly new stu- dent size. This new student size has been dedicated directly to the young scholars of America. Im- agine their plight for years before this announcement... Just think, they had to waste a whole cig- arette for a minute and a half's pleasure. What a waste!!! But now. the Fig-Newton Corp., Inc., makers of many other famous products for students, has ended this dilemma for all eternity. They have come out with a boon to all students... Useful without a doubt! Take, for instance, the new flip- tip filter. It in itself is the prod- uct of years of intensive research. This revolutionary development contains a hollow space large enough to carry a small poison dart which may be used on any- one who doesn't belong in the place where you are smoking. It kills instantly, and evaporates the body. Like I said, useful! Oh, yes,- in case you're an atomic spy, you carry microfilm or a small atom bomb. fHa-ha on you, De- fense Dept.j This filter comes op- tional at extra cost. The micro-nut filter comes equipped with two million filter traps. fThat ought to do it.j It's been tested by doctors all over the country. It has been proved abso- lutely unsafe for human use. And the flop-top box has been proved absolutely indestructible. You can't even get the -butts out! All this useful equipment has been checked by inaccu-ray and found to be absolutely inaccurate. But don't sit around all day reading trash like this, go out and buy some. fFor money you can buy them, although gold and rubies will be accepted if accompanied by some useful trinket such as a chocolate mothball.j They're on sale now at every tobacco counter Congratulations Bob Vescovo, elected vice-presi- dent of the Student Council last May, this year represented Cham- inade in the American Legion Contest. American Legion Speech work at Chaminade is looked upon very highly and it is a true honor for the man who takes part in this contest. In November, Bob received a first place medal in the group meet in fthe American Legion con- test. On Jan. 7, 1957. Bob went to Maplewood-Richmond Heights High School for the second Amer- ican Legion contest, the County District. Here, Bob gave a speech en- titled A Refuge From Insecurity, plus a five and one-half minute extemporaneous talk on some ar- ticle in the Constitution. He took second place, two percentage points behind the winner. He has represented the school very well both in C.I.S.L. and American Legion work. Good luck in years to come, Bob. Dance Tonight The Junior Class will be dis- playing unsurpassed artistry un- paralleled ingenuity and unrelent- ing hard work in the Cherry Blos- som Dance, to be held Thursday night, Feb. 21. Attendance at the dance is hoped to be one of the largest for any such event in the history of t-he school. The decora- tions are of two-fold purpose since the Father's Club requested that they be left up for their Smorgas- bord D-inner the following Satur- day. Accompanied music will be presented by the Denny Long or- chesitra. around. Of course, if' you go to a square tobacco counter, don't ea:- pect to buy fbow lowl Furds fyou may risej.

Page Four CARDINAL AND WHITE February 21, 1957 Senior Enjoy Student Council Project l'i1-turecl above are some activities enjoyed. vw Ihe tlhaminade Student Council recently sponsored an extremely successful Class Nite for the seniors. lleld on the ninth ot' this month, its success was immeasurable to the outsider, but definitely felt by those who participated. Many of the class geniuses were in a mental l'rustrat,ion, since there were so many things to do and enjoy: basket- ball, volleyball, ping-pong, cards, pool, TV, dancing, as well as other -'reshment consisted in ham sandwiches, sodas, cookies. activitus lttt and all the trimmings. A large number of the senior class was present at this function, a faet indicative of the spirit and eo-operation prevalent in this year's senior class. 'l'he informal party was held in the tirst and second division club rooms as well as the gym, The seniors were able to meet, much to the dismay of some and pleasure of others, the girl-friends of their fellow classmates. Perhaps a direet result of the Class Nite was the very worth- while and mueh appreciated senior lounge, where the seniors may recuperate from a strenuous morning ot' studies and gatlier strength tor the afternoon siege.

Page Six CARDINAL AND WHITE February 21, 1957 0-TEAM SEASDN SPEGTACIILAR Ifnder the able coaching of llrothers Ray Davenport and Cyril lloschert, the freshman basketball team has racked up a spectacular 18-2 record. Their first loss ot' the season was suffered against a tall Kirk- wood lligh squad. The game was hard fought, but CC bowed in defeat, 47-43. The freshmen then faced Lind- burg who had already beaten Kirkwood. CC showed their true strength by romping them 46-17. Chaniinade next played host to St. Louis U. lligh, It was a close battle all the way, with Bina's foul shots proving the deciding factor. CC managed to squeeze by 28-26. Their next game was played at home. CC suffered its second loss, losing a heartbreaker, 33-325 but in their rematch, CC turned the tables and won 43-42. ln their next two games CC won by their widest margins, beating St. Francis de Sales and .lolm Burroughs, 47-5 and 57-13. The freshmen then played St. Mary's. This resulted in anoth- er CC romp, 43-28. Thus far CC has given an aver- age of 25 points a game, while making 41. A rematch against Kirkwood, a team that had already beaten CC, resulted in a Chaminade win, as they 1'acked up 47 points, giving only 175 thus beating both teams that had beaten them. Many factors are accountable for this record. The freshmen have access to many fine plays both in defense and offense, the fast break and zone press are but a few. llro. llalph lloe lt Again During the past eigl1t years of llro. Ralph Krull's brilliant coach- ing, the Preps of Chaminade have tallied up a record more outstand- ing than any of the Flyers'. Their two hundred and two victories to only twenty-seven losses is an achievement which few teams have the right to boast about. Therefore, it is the express pleas- ure of the CQW to pay tribute to Bro. ltalph's fine teams which are often the concrete foundations upon which our Flyers are built. Not only has the Prep depart- ment been renowned for its vic- tories in general, but moreover for its tremendous record of tournament victories. The Preps have placed first in their own Chaminade Tournament once in '54-'55, second in '49-'50 and third in '55-'56 and '53-'54. In the St. Louis University Tournament they have placed first twice i11 '53-'54 and in '54-'55, and third once in '49-'50. They have taken two first places in the St. Vincent's Tourna- ment in Normandy both in '54-'55 and in '55-'56, The Columbian Squires 'Pournament in Webster has afforded them the opportunity to win a first place in '49-'50. In the St. Charles Junior High Tournament they have won once in '52-'53 and placed third three times, '49-'50, '50-'51, and '53-'54. During their only two years in C.Y.0. tournaments they managed to reach the semi-finals in the city playoffs in '49-'50. Thus the unique review of the Preps under the masterful guide of Bro. Ralph has passed. Bro. Ralph, we tip our hats to you and your Preps, but also wish you more such remarkable success as you have garnered during your past years at Chaminade. For Irzformnlion Concerning CAMP CHAMHNADE See or PVrz'te Bro. Callahan 6 . ...au-N - aa... 1 4 l B-Team In Action B-Team Success On January 11, Chaminade met Coyle at Chaminade. The Cougars from Kirkwood were really given a royal welcome as Chaminade poured in tifteen points in the first quarter of play. For CC, Juan Perez was high with 13 points, followed by Coffelt and Dardas, each of whom had 11 markers. The final score: Cha- minade 46, Coyle 33. Four days later the Junior Var- sity met Duchesne High on their home court. It was a battle royal all the way, but Mike Dardas, always able to score when the chips are down, racked in 10 points and snared just as many rebounds. Despite being hampered by the injured ankle of ace for- ward Kemper Coffelt, CC rolled up an impressive victory. win- ning 39-27. Cathedral of Belleville was the next scheduled game for the Jun- ior Flyers. The stronger Cathe- dral five proved too much for Chaniinade, however, as Cathedral walked away with a 56-42 deci- sion. High man for Chaminadc was Coffelt with 13 markers to his credit.
