We, the class of 1952, are leaving lJeVeaux. For the past four years and more we have looked for- ward to this momentg but now we wish we could stay a little longer. Some will say it, others won't, but even the hardest hearted of us has the deep- down feeling that he will miss l3eVeaux. When we reflect on all the joys and sorrows we've had, all the friends we've made and will miss, the chances that the least of us has had in sports, and the type of life we've been taught to lead, well, then we see why the saying goes, Once a DeVeaux boy, always a DeVeaux boy. lt may be a year or five years but we'll be back to see the masters who are still around, the dignified build- ings, and the spacious campus. We'll alwayslive up to that which DeVeaux has taught us- 'Be agentle- man at all timesf We have to depart but we are leaving behind something to bind us to l3eVeaux and DeVeaux to us, It is the CHEVRON of 1952-a collection of the faces we've seen this year, the things we've done, and the sports we've played. lt is a book that we, the Senior class, have compiled, each of us having contributed his share of writing as well as securing advertisements without which this book could not have possibly been published. So turn the page, plunge into the life of DeVeaux, and judge ye not harshly, as we the Seniors offer you the CHEVRON of 1952. THE E IOR CLASS DEVEAUX SCHO0L IAGARA FALLS I DEDICATIU T0 H.

She not only fills tour stomach, but takes care of the arduous task of hiring employees and directing them in keeping the buildings clean. lt has been said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, Mrs, Carr has found many hearts this way. Mrs. May, the nurse, is another person whom the boys could not do with- out. Nobody has ever heard Mrs. May refuse anyone 's needs. She is always willing to harbor some poor germ possessor in her infirmary for a few nights. Everyone in DeVeaux knows Dutch, the Superintendent of Grounds and the omniscient fixer of anything on the campus. From foundations to roof, Dutch knows how to fix it. Few realize the tremendous part Dutch plays in keeping the old building and grounds in running order. Thus when any- one needs anything fixed, Dutch can always be depended on to do the job with a little humor, opinion, and tobacco juice added. BU INESS STAFF The Business Staff, which constitutes one of the indispensable pillars supporting the functioning of DeVeaux, deserves commendable recognition in efforts behind the scenes. The Business Manager, Mr. R. E. Fisher, should be remembered for his diligence and for the many times he burned the midnight oil. Mrs. Moje, the Headmaster's secretary is efficient and accommodating. Mrs. Kryder and Mrs. Stables, the two remaining secretaries and assets to our mainten- ance, are ever willing to satisfy our needs either in the Book Store or with individual requisits. We will all remember Mrs. Stables for her humorous and affable disposition. lt should be expresed that the DeVeaux student body appreciates their accomplishments and dependability. s. .. 'Q 1 liz.

W neu' 9 - ' THE E IOR CLASS ln the fall of 1946 the first members of the pre- sent Senior Class were enrolled. From an obscure beginning we quickly took the situation in hand until it wasn't long before we had made a firm impression upon the school as to our capacity to uphold the tradition of the school, As we grew up it was quickly noted that each of us was distinctly an individualist. Each seemed to have his own special opinion and perhaps our main fault was our strong adherence to our be- liefs. Together we excelled mostly scholastically, although we made ourselves felt in other fields, both athletic and social. During our stay we witnessed the gradual de- preciation and finally the extinction of the mili- tary systemg so our hopes for officerships were ended. With the ending ofthe military, an honor system, guided by an active Student Council, arose. We helped to get this new student government started on the right track with that difficult task of or- ganizing a new system. Thus with the closing of our high school life, we leave with the fruits and happineszses of some of the best years of our lives.

O.K. fellows, the deadline is next Friday, posi- tively! And so ended another Chevron meeting in which we tried to decide how, why, with what, or when the '52 Chevron would be published. The deadlines would be regularly advanced until the next Friday so as to give the ad-getters' a few more precious hours in which to solicit from all the friends and associates of DeVeaux, most of who said No in tones ranging from scomful to sympa- thetic. We did have fun and when we look back we see that it wasn't so bad, in spite of everything. We did get it out and that's what counts. They said that last year's 'Chevron' was a departure from custom. Well, this year's Chevron is a departure.. .We leave the rest of the sentence to be completed as you wish, but we all hope the '52 Chevron gave you some good reading. THE DEVEAUXNIAN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, Norman Creighton, MANAGING EDITOR, Larry Steeleg NEWS EDITOR, jim Lacyg COLUMN REPORTERS, Clint Daggett, Gordon Struble, Richard Folta, David Smithg SPORTS EDITOR, Don Barker, SPORTS REPORTERS, Bill Van Loan, Doug Hostermang PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR, Peter Van Duserg ADVISOR, Mr. Werner. This year saw a radical change in the policy of the DeVeauxnian organization. The newpolicy advocated that the DeVeauxnian be open for the whole school to contribute to and participate in. There are many ad- vantages in this, and, although some students made re- marks about the junior class passing the buck, the idea should prove a success when it gets rolling. The proposed new policy gives the paper more scope for news and the opportunity to print more articles written by other students instead of the juniors solely. Also if the Freshmen and Sophomores can be allowed to work on the paper, it will -prepare them for the journalistic life in their junior and Senior years. WOOD HOP With the arrival of Mr. Brig- ham and his tools at DeVeaux, there arose a lot of enthusiasm for a woodworking shop. Mr, Brigham obtained an allowance from the school, numerous lum- ber uonations, and within a month the woodshop was organ- ized, having twenty eager car- penters to learn the trade. Mr. Kenneth Anthony is ad- visor and overseer when Mr. Brigham is absent. After seeing the useful prod- ucts that have come out of the woodshop, we hope that it will continue to carry on its con- structive work. DRAMATIC The Uramatics Club's purpose is to give to the boys who are interested in the stage a chance to further their histrionic edu- cation and to expose the dra- matic art to the remaining stu- dent body. It is in charge of the Little Theatre productions and it spon- sors several dances andthe Ama- teur Night, which offers an op- portunity for the boys to exhibit their talents. The members are privileged to attend one play a month, either in Niagara Falls ART Under the guidance of Mr. Kallas, the Art Club has become a haven for those who have the art bug. Here in two well equip- ped rooms one can paint, or draw to satisfy his artistic whims. The club itself is one of the more recent on the campus, having been founded only a year ago, However it has become one of the most popular of the extra- curricular activities. or Buffalo. ELECTRIC HCP But l've got some extra parts left over, was a familiar state- mentthat issued out of the Elec- trical Club's work shops. This club, under the direction of Mr. Spoor, endeavored to correct the ailments of anything from radios to lamps and, with the use of some testing equip- ment donated or purchased, sur- prisingly enough in most cases they succeeded. The club, in its first year, had to start from scratch, but with the help of the school and some friends it has been adequately equipped. MUSIC Every Thursday afternoon there has been a solitary and outstanding announcement on the Study Hall blackboard. It read: Music Appreciation To- day , this simply meant that Mr. Bamman's club met that day. Held in his apartment, its purpose was to instruct us on how to appreciate, or what to do in case we had to listen to a concert. The meetings, usually carried out with the help of our instruc- tor's peculiar sense of humor, gave us a wide view of subjects other than music. , -Y: , l 'n,!.' ,--y ' 6 PHCTCGRAPHY Upon entering this club room one might suspect he 'd entered a dark tomb. But on second look he can see it's only the dark room of the DeVeaux camera bugs. This club, one of lJeVeaux's oldest, is under the direction, this year, of Mr. Donald Loker. In the last two years the club has purchased a good deal ofnew equipment including an enlarger and a new print dryer. The club's officers are llugh Pierce and Ronald Wille. . if ,, 4 ff C' af! ff f?f'i:1! , t 4 r'. , 'I r+- Q.,-,W Zi --177. 3 - - r 7.3.3 , l-4' .1 ,yafmi-' enola inf? 3 As years pass on, those who were once 51: Q' members of the Choir will recall the good ' 31 times had and the benefitsobtained from --r'1- .1 this organization while a part of it. lt ,M .

CHIMER Since the school changed from the military to its present system, the chimes are one of the few traditions that have remained. They still call everyone to chapel with the same tunes familiar to all DeVeaux boys. The tower contributes greatly to the beauty of our ivied walls. The chimers, Ronald Wille, Larry Steele, Howard Penny, jack Fritzinger, and Gordon Struble, carry out the tradi- tions, each being assigned a day of the week when he takes his turn pushing the old wooden bars which ring the chimes. ,. 'K 3 T . AMBRO E G l The acolytes of the St. Ambrose Guild represent the congregation who are unable to take an active part in the service. The acolytes volunteer their services as aids to the Chaplain during the Sunday Chapel services. A responsibility of the Guild is the decorating of the chapel for the annual Candlelight Service. They spend long hours making wreaths, placing the can- dles, and locating the trees for the service, The Guild members do not ask for any reward for their services, because they give them to the service of God.

I TERCLASS BA KETBALL Much of the rivalry that naturally exists betweenthe upper classes usually comes to a head at the time of the mterclass games Because of the prevailing atmospheric cond1t1ons that left a foot of snow upon the ground, interclass football was postponed Therefore the emphasis of athletlc distinction between the uppermost classes would have to be decided by basketball As the proprtious moment arrived it was found that the number of class meetings called increased proportionally to the tnterest between the classes The schedule called for three doubleheaders on three different afternoons From the start ll looked l1ke a two team race with a limited amount of trouble expected from the sophomores and next to nothing from the Frosh The very first game enabled the juniors to limber up their muscles as they scored at ease and inflicted the f1rst loss upon the Frosh The latter claw consisted of only five members Though they fought gamely all they have to boast about is the dubious distinction that everyone who played against them dented the scoring column considerably In that day s aftermath those juniors who were feverishly taking notes as to how the Semors were handling themselves were certainly tickled to see the Sophomore defense an early 1m pedtment to the Semors A change rn tactics was all that they needed however to overcome the Sophs early lead and finally prevail by 18 pomts The next day the Semors were given the opportunity to warm up against the Freshmen while the Sophomores though full of fight fell behmd early and were beaten by the juniors by a margin of 25 pomts The final day was featured by a battle for not only the championship but also for the con solatron third place spot The Sophs after twice tasting defeat gave the scorer headaches as they piled up an 1mpress1ve 70 18 score over the Frosh Thts was the highest score compiled by any team during the campalgn Now for the game that was to decide the championship between the top two classes who interim was dominated for the most part by the Seniors After a slow and tense f1rst half that ended in a 12 12 deadlock the Semors began to break open the juniors man to man defense while their zone remarned effective and finally wound up w1th the game and championship by a close 34 28 count The junior strategy in bottling up the big men might have been effective if they had managed to keep control of the ball and had guarded the other three men who did most of the scoring lf this game d1dn t settle the disputes about athletic distinction it at least showed that the Senior Class could do something b6S1d6S domrnate the Honor Roll JOSEF F MASSER Photographer IRMA D E MASSER Stylzst Photographers for the Chevron were undefeated.
