Page Six CARDINAL AND WHITE Marih 2, l959 Viragh lakes a shot FLYERS HIGH CBC Defeated On January 16, the Chaminade Flyers gained a 54-43 victory over the Cadets from C.B.C. After a sloppy Iirst quarter, in which both teams lost the ball on several occasions, the Cadets had a 11-7 edge. But then Bob Bitter sparked the Flyers to a 23-22 half-time lead. Bob Van Num showed his hall handling ability in the second half as he and Juan Perez liter- ally ran circles around the Cadets. It was Perez who iced the game with a driving layup after the determined Cadets came within two points with three minutes left in the game. Cathedral Does lt Again The Cathedral gym in Belleville was packed on January 23 as the Flyers bowed to their traditional Catholic League rival, Cathedral. The Belleville team hit a torrid percent of their shots as they gained the 90-76 victory. The score at the end of the half was 54-43 Cthis is the same score of the entire C.B.C. gameb. Skip Viragh fouled out of the game in the opening minutes of the second half and Ronnie Meier was ham- pered with four fouls. The Flyers racked up their season high of 76, but they couldn't catch up with the hot-shooting Cathedral team. McBride The Flyers proved the old say- ing, Revenge is sweet, as they defeated McBride 67-56 after los- ing to the Micks only one week earlier in the iinals of the ILA. tournament. The first eight min- utes placed both teams on almost equal terms, as the score was tied quite often. In the second quarter the Flyers slowly crept away to a 36-26 lead at intermis- sion. In the beginning of the third quarter the Flyers hit a cold spot as McBride cut the lead to two points. Then the Flyers engineered their fast break as they scored the 67-56 decisive victory. Don Carmody, playing one of his best games of the season, tallied 20 points, as did Skip Viragh. Bob Bitter put in 15 markers. B-Team Priesmeyer up. The B-team shows a brighter prospect for the future than their 9-6 record would indicate. The Jr. Flyers are under the capable direction of Bro. John Hang. The iirst string is composed of Tom Hovland, Joe Priesmeyer, Jim Korak, John Virant, Fritz Heil and John Vatterott. In the first game the B-team lost a close one to Marquette 43-39, as Bob Viragh with 14 and Jim Korak with 11 points were high for the night. The Junior Flyers then swamped Laboure 47-30 as Heil scored 13 Skip Viraqh and lucm Perez receiv- ing second place trophy in Dellndreis Tournament. points, and then triumped over S.L.U.H. 43-37.

March 2, 1959 - CARDI NAL AND WH ITE Page Five Chess-Meets and Checkmates Did you know Chaminade had a chess team? And did you know it has matched two other schools? Well, it does, and it has. The first meet participated in was against Parkway on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Our players were: L. Carmody, Juan Perez, A. Siniscal, and J. Steger. Each player won both of his games, making the final score 8-0 in favor of Chaminade. In the second meet, which was held against U. City on Dec. 17, there were a few new players on our side, plus the players from the first meet, excepting Perez. The new players were T. Rucinski, Bill Olive, Rich Febuary, and Bob Hennessy. Carmody, Steger, and February each won a game: Siniscal tied one game, securing a half point. Our score was SM, and U. City's was 415. There will be one more game in the near future, a rematch against U. City. Father Langlainais is the chess team coach and Bro. David 0'Hearn arranges the meets. Yearbook Pictures Completed The Chaminade Photography Club, under the able direction of Brother Eugene Meyer, completed the 1959 yearbook pictures several weeks ago. During the last three months, the club's four members, Ted Jan- son, Ray Wander, Ted Mueller and Clancy Klingert, have worked diligently and have contributed much of their time and energy photographing and processing nu- merous pictures for the Cardinal, and Cardinal and White. To make it possible for the Photography Club to carry out these various functions, it has been stocked with some of the most modern equip- ment available, and it is utterly amazing to watch the speed and dexterity with which the members manipulate this equipment. It is After-Game Sock-Hops On the evenings of January 9 and January 16, following the Coyle and C.B.C. basketball games, respectively, the first Sock-Hops of the year were held in the Chaminade gymnasium. The over- whelming victories of both teams supplemented the jubilant evening. Music for dancing was furnished by the records well selected by Bro. Joseph Yasho, head of the Dance Committee. Because the after-game affair was titled a Sock-Hop, a few daring souls braved the chill lit- erally in sox. The sox were salient in many ways. Some had decorative beads on them, others had their ers' names, or that of their mater, Chaminade. own- alma It could easily be noticed that a good deal of time and work had gone into preparation for the de- but of certain sox. In fact, at one of the hops, when it was an- nounced that it would not be nec- essary to remove the shoes for the dancing because of inclement weather, certain ones did so any- way, to show their different foot- wear. The Sock-Hops, like most of the dances here at school, are pri- marily for collecting money for the annual Junior-Senior Prom at the close of the school year. Everyone had an enjoyable time at both affairs and anticipates more of the same. evident that this organization holds a place of high esteem among the many extra-curricular activities at Chaminade as long as there are photographs to be taken and a qualified staff to take them. Artistic Christmas One of the most prominent Christmas decorations at Chami- nade was the painting on the fac- ulty building. It portrayed the Nativity of Our Lord. Robert Rodgers, a member of the art class, painted the scene, using some techniques new at Chami- nade. First of all, a special paint was used so that black light made the picture appear in the dark. Then oil colors were used to heighten the effect of stained glass. At night it was hard to tell that it wasn't a window. SUPPORT MARIANIST SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE
