Cathedral Square Ia full block bordering Wabasha Street between Sixth and Seventhl lay like an island in a sea of sound. The shouting, clanging, bawling of business traffic all around-cries of a city being born-vied with the tired voice of the teacher seeking to calm the rest- less, whispering mass of assorted young males that crowded the benches before him. One of the first teachers, a young cleric, wrote despairingly of the dirty little ragged Canadian and Irish boys who were his charges. Morning and afternoon I practice patience with these wild little fellows-try to teach them who God is, and then to instruct them in the mysteries of A. B. C. I left New York to go among the Indians and I was hoping for strength to undergo the hardships of a savage life, or to meet a martyr's death . . . !,,h'ULY M, an 'annum tuning!-ng lihil iii UNIEUUQQHEXU ' uv-sl-alma. tehiuqahnn locus-ua...nw..f an-un.f'nnn..f-va...-I 'vnu-'na-.n. ul 9101 U in nm Lzzzuoqhngnva nu. lmnghavu-hung Mllgiiih nnvlugwvun-n1.an,nq, Utnnhquarmduunw' 7i1Ull'U9Q0 ill- 5141 ew KICK TIN' NT Pl!!

A religious order of teachers would supply the unity of common spirit, common ideals, and common methods that his school needed. He wrote to the superiors. He wrote several times, begging, entreating, caioling. And he also prayed. His prayers were answered, even at the cost of burning half the city of Chicago. The great Chicago fire of l87l burned homes, churches and schools impartially lamong the latter, several in which the Christian Brothers taughtl and thus generously provided St. Paul with the teachers it so badly needed. Years later when Father Ireland had become Archbishop Ireland he reflected happily, lf there is one thing in my life that l am proud of, it is the fact that l brought the Christian Brothers to St. Paul. Brother Jucondian, the Director, and Brother Diogenius John arrived on All Soul's Day, 1871, to take charge of the two classes that then made up the Cathedral school. However heavy may have been the new ruling hand, the school thrived. Next year there were four classes, five Brothers. By 1875 Brothers were teaching in the Assumption and St. Mary's parish schools as well, and for more than ten years to follow, growth in the number of pupils and in the quality of the work is the main thread of the story. ln the eighties it became evident that not only was the old Cathedral school too small to care for the number of boys seeking admission, but that the building itself, hastily erected thirty-five years back, was no longer suitable. A new school solid and imposing, was constructed not far away on Sixth and Main, and tittingly named Cretin after its real founder. ln 1888 the boys left the old building, perhaps not without regrets, and marched proudly to their new quarters. They carried with them a brick from the crumbling old red school and placed it on the Director's desk in the new school-a solitary link with the wild but glamorous past. St. Paul had noticeably matured since l85l when fur trading was practically its only business. Now the city was taking shape as a commercial and industrial center of the northwest. ln answer to these changed conditions and the demands of the students, a three year commercial high school department was added to the regular eight grades in l889. Yet despite changes in location and the expansion of its facilities, Cretin retained much of the old spirit engendered by the Brothers in the Cathedral School. Thoroughness more than brilliance characterized the methods of instructionp discipline was maintained through strictness tempered with kindly understanding. When the 25th anniversary of the arrival of the Brothers in St. Paul was observed in l896, Brother Emery, the director, gathered together the former students who had returned to show their appreciation and esteem and formed an alumni association. The new organization held its first banquet that year in connection with the celebration. Further progress in the educational scope ot the school was made during the directorship of Brother Edmund who, in l9l4, inaugurated the full four-year high school program that is now an established part of the school. And again in l9l7, with an eye towards strengthening discipline and courtesy in the school, Brother J. Elzear introduced military training. Since l93O, the R. O. T. C. unit of the school has attained each year the coveted national honor rating. The ever increasing number of pupils clamoring for entrance forced the Brothers to move to their present site in l927. This new building was designed in English Gothic style. lt has a chapel and Brothers' resi- dence connected to the school by a cloistered walk. The school has a monastic air in its architecture which reminds one of the abbies and the universities on the European continent in the thirteenth century. There is a striking contrast between it and lBishop Cretin's brick building of l85l. Classes had been conducted by the Brothers in the old Webster School building pending the completion of the present edifice. ln their more spacious quarters, with better accommodations and facilities, nothing has been left undone to bring Cretin to the front rank of the educational institutions of the city.

In the course of these past two years, Brother Damian has striven to overcome this barrier of being a stranger at Cretin, and this he has accomplished with not a little success. He has contacted almost every cadet in the school and has established his friendship in every group. Regardless of the situation, he can always find time to stop in the hall for a chat. BROTHER LAWRENCE EDWARD ASSISTANT DIRECTOR As Prefect of Discipline, Brother Lawrence Edward has performed his duties in an un- selfish manner. His obiectives have been to help us develop our characters and to ac- quaint himself with each cadet individually. He has learned to know us and our problems and he attempts to help us solve them. Endeavoring to help us to perfect our char- acters, Brother Lawrence Edward has sought every possible means of discipline. In his work he has achieved much, and has raised Cretin standards. We are very fortunate to have been acquainted with a Brother of such versatile ability as that of Brother Lawrence Edward. BROTHER JOHN BERCHMANS PRINCIPAL The Class of I947 is grateful to have had such a fatherly principal as Brother John Berchmans. During his years at Cretin, every cadet has found himself welcome at the administration office, if only to have a friendly chat with the principal. Brother John is not only an outstanding figure to the cadet corps, but also a well-known and prominent member of our community. We wish to express our thanks and appre- ciation for his marvelous guidance throughout our four years at Cretin. Although we are leaving Cretin, we shall forget neither Brother John nor his splendid moral training. BROTHER LAWRENCE WALTER ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Almost every student of Cretin has come into contact with Brother Lawrence Walter. He has taken many boys into his confidence and fostered them in the pursuit of their vocations. He has taught them not only how to achieve a worthy position on earth, but also how to earn a favorable place in the eyes of God. Brother Lawrence Walter is well equipped for his position as assistant principal and has well fulfilled his duties. One of the maior tasks which he undertakes every year is that of making out schedules for the entire school. Fill! On the eve of the close of the Diamond Jubilee Anniversary of the arrival of the Christian Brothers in St. Paul, the Class of 1947 reverently pauses to commemorate the accomplishments recorded in the past seventy five years of the work done by the Brothers and the lay professors of the Cretin faculty. Awesome and timorous were we when first we entered Cretin. Guided by our teachers, however, the faltering steps we took were gradually established on solid ground. Our ultimate purposes may have been very hazy, but the type of education given us soon molded our ideas and strengthened our opinions. At every opportunity the Brothers and professors nurtured our creative ideas and encouraged our searching questions. Well- versed in their respective fields of learning, they enlightened us with patient and effective instruction. Advancing from our primary years to the higher phases of learning we l experienced new vistas of cul- tural and mental horizons. UllY Development of mind and character became more and more evident as the labors of the classroom bore rich and abun- dant fruit. Our teachers witnessed much of our youthful astonishment and bewilderment evaporate with an increase of initiative, industry, and application. lt was a pleasant experience for us. It must have been for the faculty. By no means were the effects of the influence of their personality and interest restricted to the classroom. The athletic field, after-school activities, and casual discussions provided frequent opportunities of cementing an under- standing bond between teacher and student. Showing their solicitude about our problems and ambitions, especially during our final year, they established a lasting sense of respect and appreciation for our stay at Cretin. lf our parting is attended with sentiments of grateful appre- ciation and sincere admiration for our guides during the past four years, we know their anxiety for our welfare, their l hope for our success, and their trust in our perseverance in virtue will accompany us throughout the years to come. issi Q A i 1 6 f 5' ff' J , ,:v ltfl f .

JANNACH VALEDICTORIAN With a general average of 96.2 per cent and an uncontested first place in the Senior ' Class, Joseph Jannach was an easy choice for Valedictorian of the Class of '47. ln addition to membership in the National Honor Society during his iunior and senior years and possession of four Merit Medals, the T947 Valedictorian boasts of the unique record of having been first in class standing during each of his four years at Cretin. He was elected to represent the class in the National Pepsi-Cola Scholarship tests and qualified to enter the N. R. O. T. C. by passing the examinations administered by that pro- gram in February. Pending the final outcome of these two scholastic endeavors, Joe plans on a four- year pre-medic course at St. John's Univer- sity, Collegeville, Minnesota, to be followed with four years in the University of Minnesota School of Medicine, specializing in neuro- psychiatry. The Senior Class is sincerely proud of its Valedictorian and tenders him heartiest best wishes for continued success during his college and professional careers. GEORGE C. HOTTINGER PRESIDENT Almost every president of American rail- roads seems to start out as office boy, and by diligence works himself up to the highest position in the concern. Not so George Hottinger, president of the Class of '47. George began his executive career early in high school life with his election to Advisory vice-president in the freshman year. Appar- ently satisfied with his administration, his fellow classmen raised him to president in the sophomore year and kept him on the top rung as a iunior and a senior. It was only natural for the class as a whole to capitalize on his ability and capitalize it did by select- ing him year after year to sit in the Class Executive Council. In T947 George was elected chief executive of the whole de- partment. Quiet, unassuming, and modest, George has commanded respect because of his abilities. For four successive years he has won Merit Medals, sufficient evidence of his scholastic ability. Three years on both the football and 'Z gi si? fi 55 E? 5 is ii if 39. 2? 5? in tl? ii l DONALD J. QUINLAN VICE-PRESIDENT As we reminisce over a span of four years il which scholarship and preciseness have fa vored a loyal Cretin Cadet in winning fou Merit Medals, in gaining a coveted position on the National Honor Society roster for twc years and candidacy in a national scholar ship examination, in securing selection fo the Crack Drill Platoon and membership in the Officers' Club, and in extending to hin repeated honors as Neatest Cadet we arc not surprised to learn that that cadet wa Donald Quinlan, vice-president of the Clas of '47. Indeed, Don merits the praise of those fol whom he worked in a variety of other accom plishments. His inherent exactitude has come to fruition in the excellent presentation o these pages. The recognition of this char acteristic came when the members of hi home room elected him as advisory secre tary in T945 and as president in T946 am 1947. His capacity as treasurer of the .lunio Class and as vice-president of the Senio l l ..i swimming teams attest to his athletic prowess. And his Lieutenant-Colonelcy points to his military competence. The touchstone of George's success is simply this: whatever he set out to do, he did wholeheartedly. l 2 2 Class are but two testimonials of his talen for organization. He further supplementec his otherwise crowded program with basket ball in I946, which he willingly sacrificed ir. favor of the l947 Cretinite . ROBERT F. DONLAN SECRETARY ,embership in the National Honor Society nr two years, a Merit Medal winner for ree years, Advisory President for four Ears, and a four-year participation in most the maior extra-curricular activities, in- uding three years on the Varsity football quad, readily account for Bob Donlan's Leigan to the secretariate of the Class b is one of those cadets upon whose nerosity of time and willingness both the culty and his fellow students continuously posed. The old yarn: lf you want some- iing done, ask the busy man certainly pplied to Bob. His shoulders are broad, ut so is his capacity for multiple assign- ents. He combined the generous munificence f the suave clerk with the dynamic adminis- ation of the calculating executive. llithal, he could act as prayer-reader with IS same fervor with which he participated I discussions about the Catholic Youth Center r the glories of the West Side. His candor 'as refreshing, his sincerity, convincing, his evotion to Cretin and Catholic ideals, nspirational. ob's choice as Secretary of the Class of '47 'as timely. EDWARD M. KOHLER TREASURER To be treasurer of a Senior Class holds no fears for a high school student who has been a iunior executive of a long-established family business and who has been president, secretary, and treasurer of his advisory for four years. That's Ed Kohler, formerly of 105, his cherished Alma Mater. Ed supplemented his executive prominence with a two-year membership in the C. S. M. C. and two years as advisory representative of the Apostleship of Prayer. During his senior year he was the impenetrable, rugged goalie of the Varsity hockey squad. ln addi- tion, he was responsible for the 100 per cent subscription to The Cretinite in Advi- sory 102. lf Ed spends much time in commuting from his beloved exclusive suburb he does not allow distance to intrude on his interest in Cretin affairs and his continued anxiety about the financial status of the Class of '47. The solvent condition of the senior treasury from receipts of 1946 and 1947 is largely due to the pecuniary acuteness of the former treasurer of 105 and the current exchequer of the Class of '47. RICHARD H. SEELER SALUTATORIAN Standing second in a class of 215 seniors with an average of 95.1 per cent is no mean achievement for one who had held respon- sible positions in several extra-curricular activities and who had been chosen to direct the destinies of an R. O. T. C. unit which had to maintain an Honor School Rating. The 1947 Salutatorian was well-equipped to assume such responsibility. Dick was an unquestioned selection for the National Honor Society as a iunior and senior. His four Merit Medals account for his top-rating of seventh place as a freshman, third, as a sophomore and iunior, and second, as a senior. He passed the N. R. O. T. C. tests and is awaiting news of the results of the interview and the physical examination. If that is favorable Dick will elect to attend the University of Minnesota. Add to that his choice of an appointment to West Point or Annapolis and you have a complete picture of the Saluta- torian of the Class of '47. The Class of '47 duly recognizes the ability of its Salutatorian and wishes him an abund- ance of those blessings so deserving to one who has rated the sincere appreciation of his classmates.

He not only starred during his freshman year on the B football team but was the only freshman on the Varsity basketball squad which took second place in the State Cath- olic Tournament. He easily won a berth on the Varsity base- ball team the same year. During his sophomore year Jack was the only sophomore on the Varsity football and basketball teams and at the end of the season was unanimously elected Captain of the l945-46 football squad. On December 'l4, i944 Jack enlisted in the Marine Corps. Having completed his boot training at Parris Island, S. C. and having visited St. Paul on a short furlough, he WGS sent to Camp Leieune, N.

During the past year the class has had great success in improving its prestige by its participation in h I - -ff - - - - - MODERATOR: sc oo activl ies, and by having social gatherings, among which were two class dances, a roller skating BROTHER JOHN MARK party, and a trip to St. Cloud. All of these memorable events were climaxed on April seventh by the ASSISTANT-MODERATOR: ' d t b the class' greatest and most suc- BROTHER SEBASUAN Junior-Senio r Prom, held at the Prom Ballroom, which prove o e cesstul undertaking. The members of the Junior Class, early in the year, chose the four outstanding leaders of their class to act as their executives. As president they chose George Hiemel, as vice-president, John Eggleston, as secretary, Robert Broenen, and as treasurer, John Maeurer. These four otticers have proved their endeavors by the marked sign of continuous cooperation which has been typical of the class as a whole and shall surely result in another excellent Senior class to follow in the steps of those who have graduated and shall prove worthy of the title of former Cretinites. 64 llllllllll HUVISUHY llfl First row, left to right: J.

F R E S H M 68 N 5llPHUlllllllE HND lRESHlllllll CLHSSES Under the paternal direction of their placid but emphatic moderator, Brother H. Anthony, the Freshmen made a fine showing in all phases of school activities. They have faithfully upheld the traditions of their predecessors. Many of them have taken active part in school athletics, and they show great promise for future years in Cretin sports. A high scholastic record has also been maintained by the class. Through their eagerness to garner Merit Medals and because of the rapid passing of time they were unable to elect class officers this year. One of Cretin's finest cooperative organizations was the Sophomore Class. They can proudly boast of a record hard to equal throughout the entire history of our Alma Mater. ln the early part of the year they held their class elections and from that time to Commencement night they worked as one united group. Last Thanksgiving they held a class party which was attended by over l25 of them. ln spring they sponsored a Father-Son picnic which was a gratifying success. Furthermore, more than fifty members of the class consistently placed on the Honor Roll every six weeks. Nor did they take a second place in athletics. The Sophs composed the backbone of the B squad football team, eleven of them made the A squad basketball team, and several of them made a remarkable showing on the track team. One may wonder how such a large group of cadets could have functioned so efficiently. lt is true they are an excel- lent group of boys, but don't forget their mild-mannered moderator, Brother L. Anselm, whose first concern was the welfare of the Sophomore Class. First row, left to right: G. Carlson, T. Bagan, L. Boog, J. Albers, J. McGarry, J. Blake, J. Bigelbach, E. Barrett, R. Bins.

The organization has carried out its threefold program of prayer, study, and sacrifice to the fullest possible extent. Meetings at which plans were laid for forthcoming projects were held at regular intervals throughout the school year. ln order to insure full co-operation for its activities, each department sponsored a project. Clothes were gathered, games collected, and money raised by means of the weekly mite boxes for the missions. This year the Cretin C. S. M. C. unit sponsored St. Anne's Indian Mission in North Dakota. The officers for the T946-1947 term were Richard Seeler, presi- dent, James Sevenich, vice-president, James Borgstrom, secretary, and Eugene Frey, treasurer.

THE HPUSTLEEHIP lll PRHYER .-,,,,.,m,, M Www' The Apostleship of Prayer, an organization which has for its purpose the spreading of devotion to the Most Sacred Heart, had for its very capable moderator Brother Josephus Bertram and for its very efficient oFFicers Richard Roby, president, Walter Vavrosky, vice-president, Donald Herrick, secretary, and Frank Ostrowski, treasurer. Each advisory supplied a promoter who attended the monthly meetings and had charge of distributing the League leaflets supplied by the Archconfraternity of the Sacred Heart. Through their eftorts monthly Masses have been said for everyone asso- ciated with the school as well as for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. With the aid of the Band, the Choristers and the Camera Club, these talented young men rendered delightful programs for the Little Sisters of the Poor. l'The Apostolate , a promoters' monthly publication, contained instructive information about the great feasts, and was inter- spersed with humor and advice of general interest. :tor Brother Josephus nt Richard Roby d w .l Roonetl Us Gcllqghell' Cosse,E.Kirsch.

THE Clllllllllf The T947 Cretinite went into production in May, 1946, when the Executive Council of the Class of '47 voted to dedicate their yearbook to the Diamond Anniversary of the arrival of the lChristian Brothers in St. Paul and the foundation of Cretin High School in l87l. During the ensuing summer the first'dummy lay-out was planned and an appropriate cover was designed. ln September, a staff of thirty sen- iors undertook the reportorial and departmental assignments. To Don Quinlan and George Hottinger, Editors, eventually fell the actual com- position and lay-out work, to Cy DeCosse, the artistic creations and the original cover design, and to Bill Klett, the job of doing most of the typing. Brother Denis was the faculty moderator. The Staff trusts the Diamond Anniversary Edition of The Cretinite ful- fills the expectations of its subscribers and hopes it has provided an adequate memorial for the Class of '47, Their thanks are due to all who contributed to the completion of the book, especially to Brother Ber- nard and Brother Patrick who so generously volunteered to direct the subscription campaign and financial problems, and to Brother Gerard for his help on the Anniversary section. il l ' F ,Q Moderator Brother E Iitors George Hott! id Donald Quinlan n-W-1, 1. runey, J, J .

THE COMMENT serves a twofold purpose: first to report the news of interest which happens within the confines of the school and second, to provide an outlet for the literary talents of students so inclined. The readers of THE COMMENT are not only those who are actual stud- ents, but also former students and many prominent local civic and reli- gious leaders. Students on the staff work on a purely voluntary basis. At the end of a year those who have completed all their assignments are presented with a ribbon which may be worn as part of the uniform. The staff of l946-47, which published six issues of THE COMMENT, was composed of Brother H. Bernard, faculty adviser, Patrick Fitzgerald, editor-in-chief, Richard Kaiser, assistant editor, William Chevalier, associate editor, and Richard Seeler, John Volkenant, James Walsh, and Thomas Fahey, the editorial staff.

Under the continuous leadership and guidance of Brother l. Anthony the club has advanced greatly since it was founded. lt has transferred its headquarters from the modest storeroom opposite advisory 204 to a spacious room on the third floor of the school. ln addition, it boasts of a fully equipped dark room with six modern enlargers and six printing QRN QV. QQ? X596 boxes. The club's members are divided into four groups according to their abil- ity. They are first assigned to the picture-taking group, in which they learn the structure of a camera and how to take good pictures. They are then promoted to the developing and printing group. As soon as they have perfected the art of developing and printing, they are in- structed in the technique of enlarging. They are then members of the enlarging group. After long and continuous work they become members of the advanced or tinting and research group, the successful members of which receive a half unit of academic credit. The club officers were James McNary, president, Gerald Brings, vice- president, Donald Herrick, treasurer, and .lohn Berry, secretary. First row' yef, , . Ahmmm, ll WH? QW, R.

THE lIHElllISlllY CLUB Last October the Chemistry Club was again organized. At the first meet- ing the following officers were elected: J. Saam, president, C. Germain, vice-president, J. Schneeman, secretary, C. Goswitz, treasurer. Under the capable and etqicient guidance of Brother Pius the club progres- sed rapidly. The membership of the club was restricted to those cadets who main- tained honor grades and who displayed special interest in the study of chemistry. Because many members desired to gain experience in lab- oratory work, a large amount of the time at each meeting was espec- ially devoted to interesting experiments. A number of educational talks about distinguished scientists and new advancements in science were also given at the meetings. Participants in the Fifth Annual Westinghouse Science Scholarships were John Saam, Clarence Germain, Gilbert Reiling, Richard Roby, and John Schneeman. 3. mov-fi ' - 3?

Meeting every Tuesday and Friday morning the eighty- six Choristers prepared a lengthy reportoire of modern and classical songs as well as a special Mass in honor of St. Francis written by Miss Downey. On April l8 the Choristers appeared with the Cretin Concert Band at the Spring Concert in the St. Paul Auditorium to present a varied program of songs and hymns. Singing the Mass in honor of St. Francis, the Choris- ters sang at the Solemn Pontitical Mass at the Cathedral on May 23 to commemorate the feast of Saint John Baptist de la Salle, founder ofthe Brothers of the Christian School. l div ad. ell. all- L. mu Alb rs, L. no-V- .

THE CUITIITTTT Bllllll One of the most outstanding organizations of our school is the Cretin Band. lt has always maintained a splendid reputation for perform- ance. This year its presentations were most successful and even surpassed those of previous years. The First Band or Concert Band annually plays two concerts: the Christmas and Spring Concerts. This year, the Christmas Concert, which was presented at Cretin High School was extraordinary. The Spring Concert, presented at the St. Paul Auditorium, received favorable comments from competent music critics. The Concert Band also added color to many other events such as basketball games, football games, and school assemblies. The Military Band or Marching Band, under the outstanding leader- ship of Cadet Major George Rabuse, participated in the regimental parades, various civic military events, and the T947 St. Paul Winter Carnival. Since T933 the Cretin Band has been very fortunate in having such an accomplished musician as Mr. Francis N. Mayer for its director. The Band also owes much to the Band Auxiliary which was founded to assist the Band financially and to provide it with necessary instruments. The officers of the Concert Band were L. Brabec, president, E. Ehlenz, vice-president, W. Braun, secreta ry, H. Dols, treasurer. Cyrille DeCosse was librarian, assisted by Terrance O'Neill. The property manager was Edward Silk.

Rennagel resumed his post as Commandant of the Cretin R. O. T. C. unit which he had relinquished in January, 1942, to enter active duty. Joining the United States Army in 1912, Colonel Rennagel served for five years when he was commissioned Second Lieutenant from the ranks. During World War I he participated in three major en- gagements in France. On his return he was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant and then to Captain. After serving several years in the States, he was transferred to McKinley High School, Honolulu, Hawaii, as Professor of Military Science and Tactics. In addition to his duties as P. M. S. 8. T., he was the instructor in physical education and coach of boxing and gym- nastics. In May, 1939, he was assigned to Cretin where he remained until January, 1942, when he was accepted for active duty in World War. II. Colonel Rennagel served at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, until Decem- ber, 1945, as Commanding OfTicer of the First Infantry Heavy Weapon Training Regiment. From there he went to Camp Leavenworth, Kansas, and then to Fort Snelling where he acted as Executive O'Fficer of the Fort. In August, 1946, Colonel Rennagel was placed on inactive duty and assigned to Cretin as Commandant.

The end of World War ll released many officers capable of teaching military science in R. O. T. C. schools. The success of a military school depends chiefly on the ability of the officers and non-commisioned officers in charge to teach the material. This iob was carried out very efficiently by Maior J. C. White. Maior White is not only well qualified as a military instructor, but also possesses a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Northeastern State Teachers' College at Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The Maior's active military career began in March of 1941. After extensive training he was sent to the Asiatic-Pacific theater of war where he served two years as a battalion commander. During that time he participated in the Solomon Island, the New Guinea, the Moluccas and the Philippine Islands campaigns. He was decorated with the Bronze Star Medal and the Combat Infantry Badge. Maior White returned to the United States in 1946 and was stationed at Fort McClellan, Alabama, before coming to Cretin in October, 1946. 92 CADET COLONEL RIUHHRD H SEELER REGIMENTAL COMMANDER lt certainly was a very happy and appropriate climax to Dick Seeler's career at Cretin High School when he was raised to the rank of Cadet Colonel. For during his four years at Cretin he has consistently proven him- self worthv of this highest reward which the school can bestow. ln his freshman year Dick began winning a series of Neatest Cadet medals which continued on through his iunior year. Besides being a member of the Physical Drill Platoon, he attained the rank of Rifle Expert. Dick kept up steady A plus grades in all military tests and in his iunior year was promoted to the rank of First Sergeant and later was named the Outstanding Non- Commissioned Officer for the year l945-46. One of the three iuniors selected for the Crack Drill Platoon, Dick was the Commanding Officer for that organization during the past year. Truly, the Class of '47 has in Dick Seeler with his tall build, his handsome appearance, and his military bear- ing, the ideal Cadet Colonel. CADET LIEUTENANT-COLONEL GEURGE U HUTTIHGER REGIMENTAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER A very close second choice in the selection of the two top- ranking cadet officers of the Cretin R. O. T. C. unit was George Hottinger who was named Cadet Regimental Executive Officer. ' Membership in the Physical Drill Platoon and the N. R, A. was followed with an advance to sergeant during his sophomore year. Promotions to Maior in November, l946, as Period Commanding Officer were culminated the following month when he attained his present rank and was appointed second in command of the entire corps. George's superiority in rifle markmanship was exceeded only by excellence in his military tests which never dropped below the high nineties. He qualified for the Crack Drill Platoon and was a member of the' Executive Committee of the Officers' Club. Gifted with a quiet but effective influence over the cadets, George has endeared himself to the whole corps which heartily endorsed his appointment and are proud to have had him as their Cadet Regimental Executive Officer. l mg sg 'Aff Ii!

White, the Officers' Club strove to prepare each cadet officer to fulfill his duties of instructing and leading more efficiently the cadets under his command. ln September each o'Fficer was assigned definite subiects pertaining to military science in which he had to give instruction during the school year. Any information or help needed by any of the officers in preparing his instruc- tion was gladly given by the military depart- ment. The Officers' Ball, one of the top social events in the school, was sponsored by the club. Cadet Colonel Richard Seeler presided over all the meetings with the assistance of Lieutenant Colonels G. Hottinger, R. Donlan, J. O'Toole, E. Harrington, and D. Kimmel. 96 CHIJET OFFICERS' CLUB Mac inspects His Boys Officers' Ball Committee PHYSICHL llRlll Pltllllll Y Log Rollers in Action One . .

The platoon, which featured a rifle calisthenics drill in cadence to music played by the band, won acclaim at every performance, in spite of the disadvantage of having to start the drill practice with only a few cadets who had been in the platoon previously. Through the careful guidance of Cadet Maior Oliver Courtemanche and Sergeant Raymond Dunn, the freshmen busied themselves this year shaping the physical drill company into an organization that was a credit to the school. The company was composed of two platoons having four squads each, and the performances consisted of starting positions, co-ordination exercises, and disciplinary exercises. 97 First row, left to right: J.

At first the men made many mistakes and many of them could be counted on to reproduce the same errors, l HPPEHRHNIIES . but under the direction of Cadet Colonel Richard Seeler these ruffles were smoothed under the iron of practice. Preliminary drills were executed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons following school. Vacation practices were also held to insure satisfactory performance. Extensive use was made of the diamond formation, squads to the rear march, to the winds march, and the silent manual. Judging from the number of spectators at the practice sessions the platoon was one of the most popular extracurricular activities to watch. The Crack Drill Platoon enioyed an extremely successful year. The grand climax to the drills of the i947 organization was that on Com- mencement night, when all the seniors of the platoon gave their best as a farewell salute to their high school career.

Then came a distinct honor-Fifth Army Headquarters elected the Cretin team as the Area representative in the National Inter- Collegiate Matches, the results of which have not thus far been published. With a score of 190 out of a possible 200 points, Garry Meyer, captain, captured the highest Area individual scoring honors in the Hearst Matches and turned in the best targets in the Inter-Collegiate com- petition. The first team included G. Meyer, F. Murray, W. Casanova, R. Eischens, and M. Celany, while the second team was composed of R. Membrez, D. Sitzman, Q. Holes, R. VanderWyst, and L. Close.

Cadets who have spent several hours polishing their brass, shoes, and leather, as well as cleaning and pressing their uniform, appear at each Friday Inspection for the coveted honor points. Following the inspection by the Cadet Company Commander, Sergeant Tittle adds his and usually reduces the field of twenty-five to five. Major White then critically surveys the finalists to make the final selec- tion of the two winners. lt frequently happens, however, that the close scrutiny of Colonel Rennagel is necessary to make the choice when the competition is very acute. Winner of first place is credited with ten honor points, of second place with six. The cadets having the largest number of points at the end of each semester are named Neatest Cadets.

The official iob of this organization was to assist in all school activities in which their services were required. The Military Police acted as a guard during Regimental Parades, regulated traffic in the cafeteria and corridors during lunch periods, ushered at social affairs, and helped maintain order at the football and basketball games. Awarded a service ribbon last year, the Detachment merited a service star in i947 for their increased service and efficiency. Cadet Captains Arthur Koch and Walter Vavrosky headed the Detachment, assisted by Cadet Lieutenants Robert Kubiak and Daniel Nedoroski. Officers of the Day were Cadet Lieutenants Richard Kotarek, Herbert Cook, Joseph Jannach, James Happe, and Robert Dunst. Don't look now! The Big Three.

Bill Boland scored all three Cretin touchdowns and turned in a brilliant performance. ln the second game against Harding, Cretin, again sparked by Boland, was finallyldefeated 24-20 in thellast three minutes when Bob Vogel threw a 37-yard touchdown pass. Weakened by the loss of two linemen, Pat Sampair and Bob Donlan, the Raiders bowed be- fore Blake, 13-7. Cretin was unable to score until the fourth quarter. ln their first conference game, the Raiders, snapped an eight-year streak, which, by'itself, wouldfmakeuthefseason a success, by drubbing St. Thomas 27-7. Bill Boland shared honors with Gene Harrington, Earl Gramling, and Jim Padden. ln their most crucial game, Cretin suffered its only conference loss at the hands of,DewLaSalle. Weakened by iniuries to Mike Bird and Jean McCarthy, Cretin was plaguedxby fumbles which eventually cost them thefgame. Again plagued by fumbles and penalties the Raiders barely edged out St. Agnes, 7-O, in a hard-fought game. Dick Pothen was the only scorer and Bill Boland converted. we x 1 GC' .

In Non-Conference games they won three and lost four. The Raiders defeated White Bear 36-26, Johnson: 39-29, and Central 44-42, and were beaten by Stillwater 3l-4l, South St. Paul 2l-32, Harding 26-28, and Minneapolis South 24-34. ln the Catholic Conference Cretin showed its most power by gaining the first place berth in the region by winning 9 games and losing to three revengeful teams, St. Thomas, De LaSalle, and St. Cloud Cathedral. Cretin won a tie for first place with De LaSalle by flipping a coin. .,.,. . . . .gif '. 11: - ,V E J- .xx . i 53' Pat McCarthy, Forward Captain, All-State Coach Wee Walsh and Brother Albert put T947 trophy in lOl. The cagers defeated St. Boniface in the initial bout of fhe State Catholic Tournament only to lose to Cotter of Winona 34-43 in the semi-finals. This was the second year in a row that a taller Cotter team has edged Cretin out in the second round. The Raiders went on fighting to beat Lourdes 29-I8 and win the third place trophy. The starters for this year's team were Pat McCarthy and Jake Mauer, forwards, Jim Padden, center, and Chuck Goswitz and Jim Lawler, guards. Cretin placed twoplayerson the Catholicall- state team, Pat McCarthy, forward, and Chuck Cvoswitz, guard.

Among the players returning from last year's State Championship team were three veteran aces: pitcher Jean McCarthy, catcher Scotty Quinn, and third baseman Bill Boland. After several practices the 'I947 starting lineup listed Scotty Quinn, catcher, Dick Nord, first base, Jake Mauer, second base, Bill Boland, third base, Frank Goswitz, shortstop, Dick Busch, left field, Dick Copeland, center field, Ray Fortney, right field, and pitchers, Jean McCarthy and Nubbs Hoffmann. The Raiders won their first conference game by defeating De LaSalle, 5-2, and in quick succession they dropped St. Cloud Cathedral, 7-5, and St. John's of Collegeville, 9-O, to take first place in the Catholic Conference. Other Conference games were scheduled with St. Thomas and St. Agnes, other games were with St. Paul Academy and Blake. The Raiders were favored over all other teams in the Conference and unless unforseen events happen, they should be wearing the crown by the time the T947 season ends. tty Quinn and Bxtl Boland an cu little stops fa high li is it f f I I if Q i I 1? , CRETIN .

Mr. William Kelly, a former star in track and football at the Univer- sity of Iowa, took over the coaching responsibilities from his good friend, Captain Barrows. Mr. Kelly, by the way, was team captain of the Iowa undefeated football aggregation in I92O. The strength of this year's team is Concentrated in the track events. Returning from the I946 squad were dashmen J. Lambert, A. Jelinek, D. Nedoroski, and E. Nash. The middle distances were capably taken care of by co-captain E. Harrington and A. Smith. Up among the best of the milers were co-captain T. Murr, J. Sevenich, Red McCabe, and E. Lunney. When it came to taking life's little hurdles Cretin had a trio of the best in Smiley Eggleston, R. Ernst, and W. Daheim. Both R. Abel and P. Miner were capable of taking off for the upper atmosphere in the pole vault. New strength was added to the squad when L. Pilney, R. Krupich, and K.

HOCKEY Sparked by the zealous captaincy of Tom Garvey and the solid presence of veterans Tom Delaney, Ronnie Walerius, Tom Johnson, and Leo Fierce, the T947 Cretin Hockey Team functioned satisfactorily under the fine coaching of Joe Renner. Although bowing to seven scattered defeats in non-conference encounters, the Cretin sextet won all their Conference tilts and tied one with Blake. Two of their defeats came from Johnson of St. Paul, the State Champions, l-O and 4-2, and one from the powerful Cathedral team from Crookston, Minnesota. Leading scorers were Dick Sack, iunior, and all the senior members of the squad. With the return of all the members of the undefeated B squad and co- captains Dick and Bob Sack, Mark Wild, Pat Scanlan, and Dick Busch, prospects for ci powerful T948 Cretin Hockey squad are more than optimistic.

While the final reckoning-nine wins and eight losses-hardly matched some of the performances of the team in epic days, it was a record less humbling than those of the two previous years when the team was struggling with the problems of reorganization, What started off withall indications of being awhirlwind season-the defeat of five of the first six teams with which the competition opened-ended quietly. Immediately after the holidays the doldrums set in, a period from which the team never fully recovered, evidence that it still lacks the num- bers necessary to replace losses due to illness. Despite these obvious handicaps, the team was always good for a plucky commendable exhibition. Broghef . A - BOB ANDERSON AND USQUEAKN SCANLON Modemfor .

The returning veterans were Chuck Goswitz, a letterman for the past two years and captain of this year's team, Jerry McKoskey, also a two- letter man, Dick Kotarek, a letterman of last year, Jerry McNulty, Bill McGraw, Dan Walsh, and Ed Starr. Matches were played with Central, Washington, Johnson, St. Thomas, Lourdes, Blake, De LaSalle, and Monroe. The team also participated in the annual school tournament and the seniors on the squad played in the annual Cretin Alumni Tournament. The season closed with the Catholic State Tournament. The Highland Park Course was the scene of most of the team's matches and witnessed some high 70 and low 80 scores turned in by Chuck Goswitz and Jerry McKoskey.

Despite such preliminary trouble the entire squad was determined to better last year's second place Conference standing and its record of three wins, two losses, and one tie. Added to the five veterans were several new additions whose past experience on the cement court held high hopes for the team's final standing this season. Conference meets were held with St. Thomas and De LaSalle as well as with Central, Murray, Johnson, and St. Paul Academy. The final appear- ance of the team was held at the end of May in the State Meet at St. John's University. H' llllllBHll First row, left to right: Tom Barrett iCoachl, M. Hubler, R. Nelson, J.

The dance, sponsored by the senior department and held on November 9th, was attended by more than 300 couples. lt was held in the school gym, which underwent a complete and ornate change for the occasion. The daily drill-hall was transformed into a gala ballroom under the supervision of Brother Leonard and his team, which worked hard to score the extra point in the way of decorating. Mother Nature made the night more memorable by contrib- uting the first snowfall of the year to the decoration. The music was excellently presented by Joe Brabec and his band. The Rambling Raiders of '46 and '47 handed over the Torch of Triumph to their successors with a hope for many victories under their co-captains, G. Heimel and W. Manley. 5.
