With these questions on their lips, the Junior Class of 1946-47 gathered around the main bulletin board which was to decide for them their destiny in the next term. There were loud shouts of joy as old friends were reunited again in the same home room, also there were lamentations as pals of two years' standing were separated to begin a new year among almost-strangers. The separation, however, did not lessen their enthusiasm, for they have made a record for themselves of which anyone would be proud. Always among the first to back the several activities around the school, they are recognized as true leaders. In military they have shown their ability to give and receive orders, par- ticularly on the day of Government Inspection. Athletics highlighted the activity part of school life to most of the junior students. They have proved themselves outstanding in both interclass and inter- school competition, whether it is football, basketball, or baseball. Both in school work and spiritual affairs the boys have found peace of mind. We can, without doubt, be assured that the Senior Class of next year will be one of the best the school has ever had as shown by the record attained by this year's junior Division.

The Class nf 19119 With the reorganization of the Freshmen classes of old and the organization of new Sophomore classes, new faces appeared and old ones were missing. Class officers were elected for each class and after a few brief days things again began to run smoothly. The call for football brought out a large part of the Sophomore Department, each trying for a position on the B squad. It was the same with the other sports offered at C. B. C. In basketball not only did they compose the B squad, but also had representation on the varsity. In the intra-mural basketball competition some of the best teams were from the Sophomore Department. During the Homecoming Drive particular zeal was shown. Room 309 cap- tured second place. In the Auxiliary there was also a good showing in all of the department classes. New subjects greeted the Forty-Niners : geometry, history, mechanical draw- ing, and the like. Some members of the class obtained fame for themselves and the school by competing in speech tournaments, writing for the Turret and shoot- ing among the high on the Rifle Team. With the drawing to a close of the current school year, classes are again being broken up, some to go to the commercial while others continue on with the academic courses. However, come what may, there will always be a fond remembrance of the good times had during the school year as a proud and loyal sophomore of the Class of '49.

The Class nf 1950 Clang! and the Freshman Class of 1946 was declared in session. Thus began the high school career of 195 new cadets. After a few weeks of getting acquainted they elected class officers. A few weeks of study passed before the matter of athletics and other extra- curricular activities was taken up. Sixty-six candidates responded to the call for freshman football. About forty-four faithful freshmen toiled through the season and many promising players were developed. The first social event of the season for the freshmen came on October 31, when the annual l lallowe'en party for the freshmen was given. It was a big success and the highlight of their first year of high school. Many cadets were amazed at the energetic work of this class which led the school in the Homecoming given annually by the Fathers' Club. With the first chilly rains and snow flurries, these one hundred ninety-five new cadets received their first taste of high school basketball. This vigorous sport was a source of enjoyment for players and spectators alike. Although this was their first attempt at organized basketball, the Freshmen C and D teams achieved a record of which they can truly be proud. An intra-mural team was organized in each freshman class and competition waxed keen as the schedule progressed. At the end of the semester the freshmen held their own. In scholastics they ranked high, placing the largest number of men on the honor roll-seventy-three. Front Row: Neal Ganly, Charles Dattilo.

The Christian Brothers tennis team, under the capable leadership of Brother Ambrose, F.S.C., finished one of the more successful seasons any Purple and Gold squad has compiled in recent years. They finished the season with three wins and one loss, and were runners-up to St. Louis in the Prep League. Victories were scored over St. lVlary's High School fSouth Sidej 5-05 over Cen- tral Catholic 4-lg and over McBride 4-1. The Outstanding singles players on the Hi-Pointers squad were Ed Mahr and Jack Moore with Felix Jabczenslci and Ray Graves ranlcing high. The doubles were well taken care of by Moore and Mahr. Outstanding feat performed by the Cadets this year was their shut-out of the Dragons, and the 3-2 loss to St. Louis was an upset as the Blue and White was supposed to whitewash the soldiers.

Anderson, Herdcr. l Since the day that a C.B.C. cinderman first toted a bamboo stick around the oval until the present day, there have been established records by these Hi-Pointers which any school would be proud to harvest. It has been the cadets' tradition down through the years to not only be champions in their own league, in which they are consistent winners, but to meet all comers who fall in their category. Oftentimes going above her class in track, C.B.C. still comes out on top. Our first squad took the field in 1928-though there is evidence that at the old college, track made its appearance as an organized sport in 1882 when the first field day west of the Mississippi was staged in early Spring-and since then has dom- inated its class, particularly in the last decade. It has won seven track titles in Prep League compe- titiong four Clayton Invitational Meets, and holds two State Titles outdoors, and one Indoor Cham- pionship. In addition, 1939 saw a cadet relay team capture the State Medley title, and in 1940 when the Hi-Pointers took both Indoor and Outdoor State Titles, they also won the 880-yard relays and repeated in the medley relays. Such records as those related are not to be sneezed at, since each taken by itself shows the stamina and attachment of super-quality injected into it by the individual Hi-Pointe athlete to bring his Alma Mater out on top, and there have been very few occasions when C.B.C. was not in just that position.

Hass Lancers Organized in 1940, the Ross Lancers is a unit which is lilce unto the Grenadiers. Their specific purpose has been to encourage, preserve, and develop the highest ideals of the military profession. As a unit they are instructed in the impressive drills used by the Army at formal ceremonies. They have been called on many times to represent the school at various ceremonies, and have gained a high and enviable reputation for themselves. The Lancers are made up of cadets under five feet seven inches, who have proved themselves worthy, both as drillers and as cadets, to exemplify the highest ideals of the Corps. The unit is dedicated to Col. Glenn A. Ross, the first Professor of Military Science and Tactics at C.B.C. Cadet Major Richard Shank is captain of the unit. He is ably assisted by Sgt. james Hogan, lst Lieutenant of the Lancers. nv l ..fv-A TRW' U71 Heqimental Headquarters Cadet Colonel Thomas E. Lewis Regimental Commander Cadet Captain William E.

Reis THE MARCHING BAND One of the most widely known organizations of the Cadet Corps is our Band. After appearances in the Armistice Day and Community Chest Drive parades, their services have been in demand for many civic activities. Under the leadership of Cadet Major Frank Kulla, the Band has stepped forward not only as a musical organization, but also as a drill unit. The Band showed this art of drill especially well during the football season, when they displayed their ability at half time. Credit for the success of the Band is due chiefly to the efforts of its conductor, Capt, John Sauter, and Brother H, Richard, moderator. Y 4 Thomas Niemann. John Barnerd.

Crganized in 1937, the Elzear Grenadiers is a crack drill team under the supervision of the Sarge Many mornings we ordinary students hear the sharp crack of his cultured voice instill new life and vitality into their movements. Still later we hear commands. that are all but above imagination and as they are obeyed a wild gleam comes into the eyes of the officers of the Grena- diers, Colonel Tom Lewis, Captain, Lt. Colonel Vince Kommer, lst Lieutenantg and Captain Jim Phelan, 2d Lieutenant. The unit is dedicated jointly to Brother Elzear and Brother Elzear Stephen, both former teachers at C.B.C. Appearing at many public affairs, the Grena- diers always reap new honor and applause by their intriguing drill work. This honor is evident not only outside of school, but in school as well. When one notices a round shiny brass button on the right side of the blouse that signifies Grenadiers, he is suddenly humbled. To be a Grenadier, is to be one of the elite. The special drills of the Grenadiers are ac- complished only through diligent practice. A11 of which adds up to one of the best organizations in the entire school. Sharpshnnlers Bang!! Another rifle team victory is charged to the credit of C.B.C., and.. Sergeant Viera is still making emphatic gestures because the oppo- sition lost by only fifty or sixty points. Maybe it is because of the Sarge,s forceful manner that the team has acquired the record they have. Credit is due also the Colonel Thom,' Lewis and Sergeant Ralph Newman, captain and man- ager respectively, and to all the members of the team as well. Our team has been up against some pretty tough competition and have always come out on top. Cleveland is the only team in the district that has given us anything resembling trouble. The team has won the coveted Hearst Trophy on more than one occasion. Without a doubt we have one of the best teams in the district.

President Walsh The II B 12 Dads Under the able leadership and guidance of its president, Mr. Robert A. Walsh, the Dads' Club has surpassed all of our ex- pectations. Its Homecoming and Father's and Son's Banquet have broken the previous records in cooperation and achievement. It might be added that the primary purpose of these events is to secure a better understanding between Father and Son. As a secondary motive, they have in mind improving the school facili- ties and keeping school spirit high. The full credit for these, however, does not go to the Dads' Club. Some of it belongs to its past presidents and officers. It goes in part to Ed Schulte and his successors. When Ed took over the club in 1926, there was only a handful of members. Nevertheless, he worked diligently, increasing its membership and bettering the club in many ways. In 1931 when Brian Burnes took over the president-ship, the club was pros- pering and growing tremendously. In 1'932, when Burnes turned the club over to James Dowd, the club boasted of a membership of over 100 members. These men laid a foundation, without which the club could never have succeeded. We of C.B.C. can truly be proud of our Dads and their club. The Dads' Club is working and planning all the time and de- serves a great deal of credit for giving the time and efforts to its many worthwhile causes. Presidents from the foundation of the Club to the present, with the dates of the beginning of their terms, have been: Edward Schulte, 19265 Brian Burnes, 19315 James Dowd, 1932, Thomas Leonard fdeceasedl, 19345 John Suntrup, 19353 James Morrell, 1936, Thomas Lynch, 19375 Harry Meyers, 1938, john Barada fdeceasedj, 19395 William Donley, 19403 John Tenge, 1941, Anthony Cejka, 19423 Edgar O'Heron, 19435 Leo Rick- hoff, 19443 William Kisling, 1945, Robert Walsh, 1946. and Mathers No history of C.B.C. could be written without mentioning the Mothers, ' f wonderful women, Club, for it has been the motivating interest o so many I that we must not fail in our praise of their noteworthy accomplishments. E ' e this group was assembled it has proven itself worthy of the txtle, V - xy ver sinc One of the most outstanding organizations at school. n . ' ' l b h t onl lived up to its During the past year, the Mothers C u as no y A remarkable reputation, but went even further in attempting to make social life at C.B.C. more pleasant. t I h hers took upon themselves many varied activities and This year t e mot were even more successful than usual. Annually, the mothers sponsor two ' ' B h hu e suc card parties, one in the fall and one in the spring. ot were g - cesses, proving to everybody that when better card parties are held, the C.B.C. Mothers' Club will hold them. The Mothers' Club received Holy Communion in a body in our chapel on Oct. 15. The Holy Sacrifice was celebrated by Father Clohessy, assistant pastor at St. Gabriel's. Following these services, the mothers gathered at Town Hall for their annual Communion-Breakfast. Holding book reviews is another social function conducted by the club. At the beginning of the year the library was the scene of these reviews. As the year progressed, however, the seating capacity of the library b 'nsufficient to cope with the increasing attendance. Among the rjiiinwi clonducted by the mentor, Brother Theodore, F.S.C., was the much- l b R ll Janne discussed current novel, The Miracle of the Bel s y usse y. All reviews throughout the year were thoroughly enjoyed and in theater parlance, played to packed houses. Club Caprice of the Hotel Coronado was the scene of the annual Senior Cadets, Mothers, and Faculty Banquet. Attended by a goodly crowd, the dinner was followed by after-dinner speeches. During the speeches, the history of the seniors was recalled to mind from the viewpoints of sports and military achievements and tribute was paid to those who have shown the greatest interest in all of our activities-Our Mothers. Concluding the evening's events the mothers proved to their sons that they can still trip the light fantastic. Taking time out for a little enjoyment among themselves, the mothers held their annual Christmas and Valentine Day parties. At both of these a good portion of the club was represented .... To get away from the cares and worries of the world for at least a day, the mothers retired to the Cenacle for a Day of Recollection .... In order to help defray the expenses of this yearbook, the club annually contributes to the success of the Guidon in a financial manner. As can be seen by its many accomplishments the Mothers' C1ub's varied chain of activities is one huge success after another. Many factors have contributed to the good fortune that our Mothers' Club has experienced: The careful tutelage of its wonderful moderator, Brother Theodore: the capable management of its presidentg the never-ending labors of the other officersg and last but not least, the splendid cooperation of all the mothers who have the privilege of being members of this organization. Truly, to omit the Mothers' Club when penning an account of C.B.C. would be like forgetting the salutation of a prayer. And, so the Cadet Corps wishes to express its sincere appreciation and deepest thanks to that grand group of women who are such a necessary part of our school life -The Mothers' Club. Past presidents of the Mother's Club include: Mrs. C. W. Casey, 1925, Mrs. H. J. Goessling, 19263 Mrs. P. R. Gunn, 19283 Mrs. L. J. Cullinane, l929g Mrs. P. Q. Trenn, 1930, Mrs. M.

This is the motto of that extra-curricular activity of which Brother Ambrose is faculty moderator. The student officers of the school's photography organization are Stan Apprill, president, Don Schmidt, vice-presidentg and Jack Organ, secre- tary-treasurer. The Camera Club progressed from a somewhat inactive group into a highly organized club this year to realize some of its keenest ambitions. Many members, desiring to learn proper meth- ods of picture-taking, took shots,' both individually and in groups, with a remote hope that the better ones might be included in the Guidon. A small library of photographic literature was collected by Brother Ambrose and was made available to all desiring additional information and advice. Brother outlined a definite program to follow so that the members would get the most out of club mem- bership. The program followed the three main divisions of photography: Actual picture taking, techniq. e and use of dark- room equipment, and discussion and criticisms of efforts and results. Instruction sessions held by older members of the club or by Brother Ambrose, taught those who did not know much about the art, what was essential in taking, developing and printing good pictures. During the year the club sponsored lectures to which the public was invited. Such topics as night photography and com- position were explained and photographic slides were secured to better show the points that were being discussed.

Realizing that there should be an exclusive organization for the foremost students of each high school, the National Honor So- ciety was established to fulfill this need. To be a member of this or- ganization is a great honor sought after by each and every student. High grades in school work are not the only requirements of this society. Its members must likewise display qualities of leadership and loyalty to their school. This year's members of the C.B.C. Chapter have planned various projects, the most impor- tant being to provide informa- tion on colleges for the graduat- ing seniors. Another activity to which the club members look back with interest is their induc- tion ceremony at which St. Peter's High School in Jefferson City became a member of the world- wide organization.

This project is the Saint De La Salle Auxiliary Drive. Brother Theodore, who is the moderator of the drive, deserves a large amount of credit for the success that C.B.C. has each year in raising funds. But not alone by the efforts of one person can a drive be successful, thus the Senior Classes especially have put forth their best efforts in order to make the Auxiliary a complete success. Traditionally they have led the school,-a record we hope will not be broken. C.B.C. has been a leader throughout all the Brothers' schools of the midwestern province. This in indeed an envious record. Purpose of the drive is to obtain funds to support the young men who are studying to be- come Christian Brothers at the Novitiate at Glencoe. PURPLE CLUB: L.

The Turret One of the numerous major activities at C.B.C. is our school newspaper, The Turret. This name has become practically synonymous with C.B.C. through its many years of publication. Receiving the name from the stone turrets on the front of the school building, The Turret has carved its name on the history of the school by its long and faithful service. Published tri-weekly under Brother Hubert Gerard's able guidance, the paper carries special items of school activity and many articles of general interest to its student readers.

Because the war interfered with previous plans, these momentous events will be flttingly commem- orated during April, 1948.
