Page Eight CARDINAL AND WHITE November, l957 SENIORS OF THE MONTH Ioe Ellebrecht. Mike Tueth, Charles Maeder, Iohn DeCosta. Lloyd Klinedinst, Paul Rolier, Frank Blumeyer. Missing: Bill Hamilton, Iohn Mucheca. This new feature of the Cardinal and White has been reintroduced, after being absent from the school paper for the last two years. The purpose of this article is to acquaint the underclassmen with the seniors of our school, the leaders of the various activities, etc., helping to further develop the family spirit which we feel exists here at Chaminade. The first group of Seniors we are featuring are graduates of Our Lady of the Pillar grade school, to which Chaminade is closely affiliated, Frank Blumeyer, as many of you know, is the senior who sat in the speakers' box at the Extra Curriculars Meeting last month, but because of the time element, was never able to publicly introduce himself. He was to speak on the Serv- ers' Club, of which he is a very active member. But this is not all of Frank's activities: his ever- changing collection of Cadillacs is a source of constant kidding by other Seniors. Lloyd Klinedinst, the M.A.C.'s answer to Es- ther Williams, needs little introduction to Chamin- ade students. Besides holding the office of Stu- dent Council president, he is also editor of the year book, and a vice-president of the Senior So- dality. Lloyd is treasurer of the Latin Club, and is very active in the Pillar Parish, having been elected president of the Pillar Youth Club earlier this year. John Macheca, on the other hand, may need quite a bit of introduction to you, because he is seen only in the latter part of the week, when he comes late and leaves early. Seriously though, John is one of the bulwarks of our football team, and is on the track team also. He is an active member of the Knights of the Altar. Joseph Ellebrecht, known chiefly for his party- going personality, is one of the most active mem- bers of the Senior Class. He is engaged in speech activity, and is in the Junior United Nations. He is a member of the Knights of the Altar, and is associate editor of the school paper. Joe is the school representative to the Saint Louis Sodality Union, Along with Lloyd, he is one of the leaders of the Pillar Youth Club, hold- ing the position of Secretary. Bill Hamilton, on the event of his graduation, will effect a pause in the Hamiltonian era at Chaminade. As were his two brothers in the last two years, he is an officer of the Student Council holding office as Secretary. He is one of the school's two Prom reporters. Bill's full round of activities include the membership in the Speech and Debate teams, as well as the Sodality. Last year he was the Junior Dance Committee chair- man, and President of the Junior Sodality. His chief interest this year is his vice-presidency of the Latin Club. Michael Tueth, who spends more time on the campus than any resident student, has become a notable character in many of the school's activities. As Editor-in-Chief of the Cardinal and White, he has been able to organize the staff so that there can be an edition of the paper monthly. Mike is President of the Sodality, and is a blue ribbon man in Speech and Debate. He is student council representative from Senior A, and is also Secretary of the Latin Club, Paul Rotter is practically a boarder at Cham- inade, since he lives approximately 100 feet off the campus. He is a devoted member of the Car- dinal and White staff without whom many of these articles could have never gone to press. Paul is also an active member in the Sodality, and is in the Servers' Club. John DeCosta is probably the most musically minded person in the group, having been a member of the Varsity Band for the past four years. John was a member of the Cardinal and White staff in his Freshman year. Charles Maeder's chief position in the scope of school activities is being president of the Latin Club: but he is also engaged in Speech and Debate, and last year was chief delegate to the Junior United Nations. Charles is also a member of the Cardinal and White staff. However, his interests have waned in these regards recently since his purchase of a new Fiat, which, to the uneducated, is Italy's answer to the Morris. War and Peace fContinuedh Anna Pavolana had been coughing for the last few days, she had an attack of la grippe', as she said-grippe' was the new word only used by a. few people. In the notes she had sent round in the morning, by a footman in red livery, she had written to all indiscriminately: If you have noth- ing better to do, count for princel, and if the prospect of spending an evening with a poor in- valid is not too alarming to you, I shall be charmed to see you at my house between seven and ten. Annette Scherer. Heavens! what a violent outburst! , the prince responded, not at the least disconcerted at such a reception.

November, 1957 CARDINAL AND WHITE Page Seven Homecoming A Moral Victory As the final gun sounded the end of our Home- coming game, the score read 14-12 in favor of Marquette. Although the team had lost the Home- coming game, both the playsr and the spectators felt a moral victory, knowing that this had been the hardest fought game of the seasonn. Marquette scored their touchdowns early in the first quarter as they tallied first on a long pass followed by a short plunge. They managed to get the P.A.T. to make it 7-0. Just a few min- utes later an attempted quick kick on third down blocked and Marquette had the ball deep in The second half was strictly defensive play as neither team could get a substantial drive started. Goose Sommers supplied the crowd with a sen- sational 60-yard run to Marquette's 7-yard line but it was called back because of a clipping penalty. In the fourth quarter, the Flyers started a drive from our 16-yard linne to their 8-yard line. An off-sides penalty was a thorn in our side as it took the heart out of our rally. And so the Home- coming battle ended with the opposition victorious 14-12, but with a new revitalized in the hearts of all the students. C-TEAM REMAINS TOPS of the game was uneventful, but as usual, Jim Korak ran most of the yardage. was our own territory. Shortly afterwards they pushed the ball across for a touchdown and they also added the extra point to end the first querter, with the score 14-0. Chaminade scored both their touchdowns in the second quarter. The first touchdown came at the early stages of the second quarter on a short 3-yard plunge. The second one came midway through the quarter on another line plunge. Both kicks after the touchdowns went astray and the first half ended 14-12. Cathedral, Coyle and Assumption Games Played By Chaminade Freshmen The Frosh Team of '57 had a creditable 4-2 recordg only a second best to last year's 6-0 record. Con- grats, Frosh, and Bros. Cyril and Ray. Chaminade freshman team, in their last game, defeated the Saint Louis Priory School team 13-6. The first touchdown was scored by big Jim Korak, and the extra point The second loss of the season was posted at Cathedral, as Cham- inade was pointless against their three touchdowns. The first was scored when Chaminade fumbled the kickoff on the 12 yd. line. A pass and the touchdown was good, and the point, too. In the second quarter, Cathe- dral scored again on a pass. Fum- bles were plentiful during the first half. The third quarter was un- eventful, In the fourth period, Cathedral scored their 3rd touchdown. This wound up the game. Our loss can be partly blamed on loss of players due to the flu. Likewise, in the Assumption game, Chaminade saw defeat 27-7. Assumption scored 4 touchdowns, with 3 extra points. Chaminade's single touchdown was scored by Big Jim Korak, on an eight yard run. The only serious injury was in this game, when John 0'Neil broke his nose. In the Coyle game, the tables turned, and Chaminade defeated them 7-6. This was a very close game. Korak scored the touch- down for the Flyers, and the ex- tra point was good. In the third quarter Coyle gained a touchdown, but failed to get the point. Most was made by J. Vatterott. Our second touchdown was again scored by Big Jim, but the extra point was blocked. The Priory scored during the third period, but the point was blocked by Donald Wolken. John Rafter caught two passes thrown by Tom Weyforth. This con- cluded the 1957 football season. fContinued from Page 3, Col. 35 Michael Grady Eric Moyer Fred Schudel Norman Tantulo 6th Grade Honors Gary Budke Joseph Dirnberger Daniel Green Frank Gruchalla Richard Hedenkamp Douglas Jones Theodore Liebig Larry Lombardo Steven McCormick 5th Grade High Honors Patrick Green Robert Sutemeier Honors David King James 0'Connor Ronald Schaefer 4th Grade High Honors Terrence Murphy Michael Savand Honors Tom Nicholson

Qi' I Q CHAMINADE COLLEGE g X A CLAYTON, MISSOURI J L Q 99 4Vmu CHAMINADE COLLEGE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1957 Number 4 HHHISIMHS IMPHIHHNI HIHH When the highlights of this year are recounted, as they inevitably are at the end of every year, undoubtedly everyone will agree that the major event was the launching of the space satellites into the unknown void that holds the promise of future challenge to our generation. With Sputnik and Muttnik already soaring through our wintry skies, we raise our eyes to new horizons and speculate upon the future and its many problems and promises. What will our children's lives be like? How will their lives be changed? Well, one thing that we hope-and we are rather sure-will never be changed is the holiday soon approaching, the glorious feast of Christmas. Of all the Church's feasts, and the civil holidays, Christmas is without a doubt the most anxiously awaited and most fondly remembered. Christmas throughout the world will always remain, but how will it remain? Will it always have its religious significance. or will it be drowned in the flood- tide of pagan materialism that is engulfing many of the other traditions we once held dear. Examine your own Christmas this year for the answer. Will the glitter of the trees and gifts overwhelm the quiet glow of the crib? Will the Christmas parties be the highlight of the holiday season and not the Christmas Mass? Let's be honest about our answers, and if the outlook isn't so good, let's do something about it. This is the year of experiment. Mankind has struck out a new course of exploration. Whatever man leaves behind, may it never be this spirit of Christmas. We cannot look upon this with dis- interest, for we are the generation that has been epoch. Whatever changes come about, whatever traditions fall by the wayside, this idea of a holy Christmas must remain. Perhaps this year's holi- day will be the acid test of what is to come. Let handed the task of carrying the world into this new Mothers Deck the Halls ln the spirit of the holiday season. several Chaminade families held open house on December 3 as part of the Mothers' Club Holiday House Tour. The tour was conducted through fourteen homes in and about the Chaminade area. These homes were especially decorated for the Christmas sea- son. During the tour there was a bake sale, the sale of advent wreaths, and the selling of hand- made gifts. The proceeds of the tour are to be used for the Chaminade Chapel Fund. We would like to give thanks to Mrs. Kerber, Mrs. Ossenfort, us do our part to keep this kind of Christmas alive. and Mrs. Murphy, who headed the committee which was very instrumental in planning and executing the tour. We also wish to thank all those who so generously contributed gifts to the different sales: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Varney, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard McMahon. Mrs. Gertrude F. Boerger, Mr. and Mrs. William F. James, Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Krewet, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Cecil P. Arnold, Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Blu- meyer, Sr.. Mr. and Mrs. Fred P. Rapp, Mr. and Mrs. Gene L.
