The first annual in the history of C. B., is respectfully dedicated to all the Brothers, past and present, who have devoted their time and energy in doing the work of God among the men of St. Joseph. O St. John Baptist de Ia Salle Founder of the Brothers of of Z gl the Christian Schools The Christian Brothers came to St. Jo- seph in 1859, not long after the first ar- rival of the Brothers in America. St. Joseph, at this time was a frontier town, whose one contact with western civilization was the Pony Express. The gold rush had made the business here flourish, and the need for education in St. Joseph, was a tang- 'ible example in the city's expansion. The original school building was built at 13th and Henry streets, but the Brothers were unable to commence classes until 1867, since during the Civil War, the build- ing was used to quarter, alternately, both Union and Confederate troops. The first commencement was in 1869. As a sup- plement to the College department, the Brothers opened a grade school at 11th and Monterey. It was known as the Patee town school, and although closed at the turn of the century, the structure still stands, having served as a stable, garage, and at present, it is being converted into an apartment house. The following years were years of ex- pansion. In compliance with the wishes of Bishop Hogan, a boarding department was opened and in 1886, a new building was built to meet with the increasing en- rollment. The building was very impos- ing, and stood well until 1926. Then, the wear and tear of the years made it far from its original splendor, so far as being nicknamed by the students, The Shack. At about the time Jesse James and his gang were making their daring and no- torious exploits, Christian Brothers College was making quite a name for itself. The number of boarders increased yearly, coming from as far as Mexico. Often the Help Wanted advertisements St. Joseph, Home of the Pony Express of St. Joseph business houses and banks bore the note Brothers' College graduates preferred. Similarly, many local business- men remarked that a Brothers' graduate could be recognized by his excellent pen- manship. In 1883, a new administration en- deavored to introduce a liberal arts course, and made new courses in Latin and Greek compulsory. However, these subjects could not be mastered by the students, and resulted in no graduating class in 1884. This established C.B.C. more strong- ly than ever as a commercial college. The graduating classes of these times were quite small, not because there were few students, but because the students went to school with the prime purpose of securing a position, and when they received em- Above is the Shack and below its Chapel. fu 'ul' '.'

The turn of the century marked a new era for the school. The annual alumni banquet attracted much public interest, as well as the pompous graduation ceremon- ies. As public speaking was in its heyday at this time, a typical commencement pro- gram included vocal selections from the school Glee Club, an essay read by a stu- dent, some violin solos, another pair of essays giving the pro and con on some current issue, another essay, the valedic- tory, the awarding of the medals and diplomas, and finally the address of the graduation speaker. St. Joseph, whose population had ex- ceeded 80,000, was now a thriving mu- nicipality. Many industries, which had established here, now became important producers for the country, especially the 6 meat-packing, cereal and brewing indus- tries. The city's boulevard system, one of the most beautiful in the country, was built as well as parks, public buildings, and other civic improvements. As the city was making timely improve- ments, likewise it became apparent in the early twenties, that the Shack was in no condition to continue due to its run- down condition. There were large cracks in the walls, and strange noises seemed to be heard at off hours around the prem- q-774g Part of the Brothers' Centennial Mass Choir: U. to r.j Brother Paul forganist at Glencoe, Missouril, Brother Roger, Brother John, Brother George, Brother Anthony, and Brother Oliver. ' 11th: v W This present school building was ready for occupancy in 1927 100 Zemaqwawmzde ' mm ises. Rumors of these ghosts, usually in Civil War garm, were attributed to the hoof marks in the basement and other re- minders of Civil War days. Then too a cor- responding need for a Catholic boys' high school in the city arose. After a vigorous subscription campaign, spearheaded by Bishop Gilfillan, funds were raised for the erection of a new edifice. A site was bought at Noyes Boulevard and Union Street, formerly a park proiect of the Klu Klux Klan. The cornerstone was laid on May ll, 1927, and the school opened the following September. His Excellency, C. H. LeBlond, the pres- ent bishop of the St. Joseph diocese, has worked wholeheartedly in co-ordination with the administrations of the school. Since the school's erection, its progress has been symbolized by expansion. Today, Christian Brothers of St. Joseph is a mod- ern high school in all respects. lt stands as a living testimony to the fruitful labors of the Brothers, who have molded the young men of the city into ideal and Chris- tian gentlemen.

An outstanding ex- ample of a brilliant high school student, his memory lies in his quiet and char- itable life, which tends to serve as a model for the rest of us now that he has passed on. The tasks required of him in his short life he fulfilled to the letter as evidenced by his ardent devotion both to his lessons and to his God. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. At the right is the C. B. cafeteria at lunch time.

B. captured the American Legion Junior Baseball title of 1947 with five victories and one defeat. The one mar on the record was a close 2-1 upset by the Lafayette team. Leading 1-0, C. B. committed an error to place a man on first. Then Duke, Lafayette's pitcher, promptly knocked a home run over the right field fence. The wins of the Coca-Cola sponsored team included two victories over second place Benton, one over third place Lafayette, and two over Central. Because it was necessary to come from behind in each Benton game, both were exciting en- counters. The team also disposed of a post season all-star team composed of Lafayette and Central players. The St. Joseph city champs did not go far in the state tournament held this year in St. Joseph. ln a double ellmlnatlon manner, C. B. was pitted against St. Louis, who overwhelmed the Coca-Cola nine, 22-2. The St Louis team, however pro- ceeded to win the tournament and advance to the regional. In the second game, C. B. lost to Joplin, 10-1, thus being ellm- inated from the tournament by the team which also reached the finals with St. Louis. During season play, home runs were hlt by Frank DeMar, Rick Barbosa, Dick Poolman, Jim Glenskl, and two by George Scott. Scott pitched two league victories and lost one decision. Carmona won two and suffered one defeat: and Wln- ston won one and lost none. Four Benton players accompanied C. B. to the state tournament. They were J. C. Wood, a pitcher: M. Lytle, an lnflelder: Ken Carter, a catcher, and Bill Sherman, an infielder. Sherman received a wrlst watch from Emerson Jewelry Company for making the first St. Joseph hit in the St. Louis-St. Joseph game. The C.

This was our second victory over the lndians1n city grid history, the first win being last year. Next, the team travelled to Jefferson City to dump the St. Peter's Saint, 26-0 in another lop-sided contest. In the season's homecoming game, we edged Benton by a 14-13 squeeze.

As part of the homecoming festivities, the football varsity chose Miss Con- nie Cates of the Sacred Heart Convent as the homecoming queen and presented her with a trophy. Her attendants were!

In 1946, the Eagles were runner-ups for the City7 Championship, while in 1947 they secured the un- disputed championship, the first since 1936. lt is fitting to note that these successful seasons were highlighted by victories over our arch-rival, Central, the first times in C. B. grid history. The Optimist Club of St. Joseph honored the C. B. gridders with a banquet at the Pennant Cafeteria. The Optimist football trophy, as well as the Optimist basket- ball trophy was presented to the Eagles. The players were awarded gold footballs.

Coach Kessinger's basketball team this season saw many obstacles to overcome. Our team encountered many iniuries while playing some of the best teams in the state. We saw our team take the De LaSalle tournament, come in first at the Sub-Regional and at Pickett's tournament. The outlook was favorable n the city league only to see us lose two close games and end up with a tie for second place. Johnny Rocha was placed on the all-city team, a distinc- tion he well deserved. A. J. Waitkoss and Ray Evans were honored by second team places. Next year's team looks favorable with the reserves un- defeated in their city league race and the freshmen handing in a strong record. On the following pages you will find some things of in- terest which will tell further the story of this year's basketball. l 1947-48 Cheerleaders of C. B.

KP ' TRH CH In the last two years track at Christian Brothers has become a major sport. It wasn't until last year that the Eagles gained success. They took the City Lea ue Championship and Tarkio Tri-State Championship. There were, however, two main factors in achieving such success The first credit should be given to our coach, Mr. Dale Kessinger, whose love of track has formulated an interest in the boys. Secondly, credit goes to the boys themselves whose spirit of competition proved a link in making track a major sport. The cinder squad of Christian Brothers placed in every competitive meet last year. With the official opening of the track season for 1948 at North Kansas City, Christian Brothers has again proved to be a threat for the City League crown. With an experienced and fresh squad the Eagles have shown balanced power in all events. lt is now up to them to better this showing against local high school contenders.

Every season when the Eagles group together they perform difficult feats in the air for one-another: so too each season do the Golden EagIes present a dramatic produc- tion at the home of the Eagles, C. B. ln 1945 the Dramatic Club of C. B. was revived and play production started once again. Since then four memorable productions have been added to the history of C. B.'s stage, namely: Almost Summer, '45, Moonlight for Herbert, '46, Ten Little lndians, '47, and Charley's Aunt, '48. These plays have been a great success in the past and now they are handed down to the Future Golden Eagles to carry on this suc- cessful tradition.

The subject for debate was Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Require Compulsory Arbitration in All Basic Amer- ican Industries. Christian 'Brothers was one of thirteen schools represented in a three-state area. In a six-round compe- tition the C. B. team took one affirmative and one negative round. ln a period around Dec. 1, 1947, the drive for tuberculosis began. The services of C. B. boys was solicited in appealing for the wholehearted support of the Christmas seal campaign. The boys were Gene Drag, John Mansbarger, and Bob Slater.

The local chapter of the National Honor Society is known as the Bishop Gilfillan Chapter. The object of this chapter is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of Christian Brothers High School. Candidates eligible to election to the Chapter must have a scholarship equivalent to the standard of teh High Honor Roll. Their eligibility shall then be considered on their service, leadership and character. The boys who have merited membership in this society deserve the highest praise. They gained the ranks of the organization by hard work and perserverance. They have made the most of their high school educations, and the majority of them will go to seek higher learning at colleges and universities. ,-fifaxildauf Zia!

In other words, these are the guys that make all that noise at noon hour - - -the members of the Glee Club. This group was originally organized to participate in the singing in celebration of the Amercan Centennial of the arrival of the Christian Brothers in the United States. But their able director, Brother Roger, visioned greater things for the boys, and since then they have sung on a local radio station. The boys are divided into two groups: first tenor and second tenor. The second tenors sing bass when necessary, and the first tenors have been known to switch to soprano. The Glee Club is in the height of its glory when singing Kentucky Babe. Their ren- dition of Memory Lane was especially appropriate at the Alumni Banquet. Mun dm!
