'W - .- was 2 v ' ORE WORD On the pages of this book we have tried to portray to our readers the simi- larity of the building of a school to the building of our future lives. From the very beginning blue print until the finished structure that rises triumphantly from the ground, our Catholic education is a tribute to both God and man, if we strive to pattern our lives upon the basic principles that we have learned and practiced in the spiritual, scholastic, athletic and social functions of our school life. Page 3 2? xi ,XX ,W - i 0 , 2? ll is jp V , l x nn vQi.uN'ns 'ruA For making the dream of a new Cotter High School a living reality, for care- fully planning the educational blue prints of the future through which we are spiritually, intellectually and socially prepared to accept the challenges of life, we the students of Cotter, in true recognition of his untiring efforts to provide for the Catholic students of Winona the opportunity of acquiring a firm foundation in the Christian principles of living, gratefully dedicate our annual to His Excel- lency, The Most Reverend Edward A. Fitzgerald, Bishop of Winona. 13 .

Catholic Students' Mission Crusade Officers of the Catholic Students' Mission Cru- sade are: President, David Kotlarz, Vice-president, Jerome Langowski, Treasurer, Barbara Walter and Secretary, Mary June Zyblicki. One of the outstanding spiritual programs which was presented by the C.S.M.C. was the program which had as its theme the universality of the Church. The rosary was said in the var- ious languages of the word. Jerome Langowski said the Hail Mary in Italian, Martha Ochry- mowycz said it in Ukrainian, James Schernecker said it in German. The Hail Mary was sung in English, Polish, Chinese, Spanish, Latin and French. Mr. Ochry- mowycz, Professor of languages at St. Mary's College, said the Hail Mary in Greek and Russian. Sister M. Jamesette is the moderator of the C.S.M.C. The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary On January 29, 1954, Cotter formed a sodal- ity under the direction of Sister M. Thomas a' Kempis. Each Friday is designated as Sodality Day at Cotter. On the first Friday of the month cell meetings are held, on the second Friday parish units gather, on the third Friday cell meetings take place and the fourth Friday is observed as a Day of Recollection. On this day all sodalists assemble at the Cathedral where the cell leaders lead the rosary, one of the priest advisers gives a short sermon on the Blessed Virgin and the ceremony closes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The priest directors for the parish units are: Cathedral, Father Francis Kunz, St. Stanislaus, Father Harold Gavin, St. John's, Father Francis Gallesp St. Mary's, Father Donald Leary and Father Harold Dittman has the sodalists from the neighboring parishes.

Highground P YI 9 Ground on November 29 at the Catho- lic Recreational Center. The plot was centered around a young artist, Sarat Carn, lRosemary Frederick- sonl, who has been tried and convicted for the murder of her brother. While enroute to the place of execution, she, the police officer Melling, fRichard Rol- bieckil, and Miss Pierce, lRoxanne Madesl, are delayed at the Convent of Our Lady of Rheims. The nearby village has been flooded and the convent is the only spot of high ground. At this con- vent hope enters Sarat's life, but she does not suspect what Sister Mary Bona- venture, fMary Pellowskil, has deter- mined to do. Sister Mary makes her attempt to prove Sarat's innocence a test of her own faith in God and in her vocation. Through the help of Sister Josephine, lCarol Bambenekl, and Martha Pentridge, CMary Stewartl, and despite the opposition of Mother Superior, lMary Albelj, and Dr. Jefreys, Uohn Speltzl, Sister Mary's prayers are answered. High Ground is a play of deep emotions interspersed with wit and humor. The emotional tension of the play is relieved by the supporting roles which are played by John Griesgraber, Ceil Lelwica and Barbara Walter.

Cotter High's homecoming began with a gi- gantic bonfire and pep rally at Maxwell practice field on Firday, October 29, at 7:30. There Barbara Gappa of the senior class was crowned Homecoming Queen of l953. Her attendants were Donna Brown, Mary Albel, Catherine Small and Judith Hartert. The Ramblers began the festive Saturday by attending Mass at the Sacred Heart Cathedral and receiving Holy Communion in a body. A colorful parade at 2:30 was led by the American Legion color guard. Following them was the queen and her court riding on a gold and white float. All the homerooms entered their floats with E, D, ancl C winning first, second and third prizes respectively. The homecoming game between Cotter and Lourdes ended in defeat for the home team with the final score I3-O. However the Ramb- lers played one of the most outstanding games of the season. Following the game was the homecoming dance in the Catholic Recreational Center. There the queen received her purple and white robe and a necklace and earings which were gifts of the senior class. The seniors were in charge of all homecoming activities. X Left to Right: John Sheridan, James Dan- ielson, David Skemp move up to help the tackle. Pagc 81 vin1f'WW dke,G09 XQSA.

Everyday in every newspaper we read on and on of the events in the field of sports. Some people buy papers and magazines and the first thing they thumb for is the sports' page. Some street- corners have the cold looking chap busily handing out the green sheets, the sports page that is free of charge. Frist come, first served for this informative copy of the latest in sports. There is always a discussion or argue- ment on this player's ability over another's. Paul Giel should have gotten the Heisman Trophy before Lattner. Lattner had a great team behind him, and Giel didn't, goes the argument, on and on. Naturally all of these little arguments are useless, senseless, but seem to keep the conversation going or work from getting too boring. If the sportswriters are going to put Lattner before Giel, Campanella before Roberts, they are going to do it. All the talk from every worker in every fac- tory in the country isn't going to change the decision. Now every- body talks about sports, about the different sports, about the different athletes, but just what makes an athelete. I don't mean the All-American Paul Giels and Johnny Lattners but even the small college players whose teams are not, probably, ever mentioned in the big newspapers in the coun- Pagc 86 try. I don't mean even the stars of the small colleges, but just the kid who came out to practice everyday, everyday, for four straight years and never so much as felt the pigskin, or basket- ball or baseball in a game but is still not willing to give up in a hope that he might get that last chance to make good. To me the thorough athlete is combined into many things yet each athlete is different from the other in so many ways. To me the ideal athlete begins his first training at home. His attitude towards his parents, especially his mother. He must be able to take correction and advice. One who has the correct outlook towards his parents will always have some religion in him, faith in God. Secondly, consider his school life. He must have the right attitude towards his studies, his teachers, his classmates and himself. The best athletes are usually good stu- dents. Thirdly, the athlete must have the correct attitude and feel- ing on the sports field. He must never quit until the contest is over. He must play with his team- mates that the team might be one rather than eleven or five individual players performing. The desire to cooperate will always make a team-player. If a player envies another mate for carrying the ball too much or for shooting too much he doesn't make an athlete. The most important qual- ity of an athlete is his attitude in the game and out of the game. A Letterman Catholic State Meet A strong Duluth Cathedral five ousted the rallying Cotter Ramb- lers 49-48, in the first round of the State Catholic basketball tourna- ment. It was a close game for the first half, but Duluth blew it wide open in the third period and then withstood a blistering Cotter final period rally to snatch the victory. In the first half, Duluth stars John Daly and Nick Minotte trad- ed baskets regularly with Bill Pellowski and Dan Shrake, with Cathedral having a slight 27-23 edge at halftime. The third quar- ter was different, however. A Rambler cold streak coupled with an improved Duluth defence ran up a 42-27 lead towards the end of the third quarter. At' this point the Cathedralites stalled out the last 25 minutes. In the fourth stanza, the Ramb- lers put a three man press which all but completely stymied Duluth. Shrake, Dooney, and Pellowski took the ball away from the Du- luth guards time after time. They didn't score until the quarter was about half over. At the same time Shrake and Pellowski pared the lead down. Pellowski's jump shot made it 48-46, and then Don Doon- ey swished 2 free throws with less than a minute left to tie it up at 48-48. Several seconds later, Duluth's Jack Yollar was fouled under the Cotter basket. He mis- sed the first free throw but made the second to finish the scoring. Final score: Duluth-49, Cotter-48. lf was one mad scramble for the ball as Cotter played St. Felix in the regional tournament at St. Mary's College. The Cotter Ramblers bowed by one point for the sevond time in 2 days as they fell before St. Cloud Cathedral, 52-51. It was a see-saw game, with Cotter lead- ing at the end of the first stanza, Sl., Cloud leading at the half, Cotter leading at the end of the third, and The Crusaders win- ning the game by one point. The game was tied in the late stanza of the contest by srores of 311, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44. Cotter guard Dan Shrake, who was later named to the all-state team swished a long one-hander with 15 sevonds left to boost the Ramblers to a l point. lead, but St. fTloud's Den- ny Zimmer countered with a bucket from his forward position and that was it.
