For ten years she has been carrying on a program destined to prepare men for what they must be and for what they must do here below in or- der to attain the end for which they were created. It is, therefore, essentially a Christian education that is imparted at Fenwick, and the Model held up before all is none other than He Who is the way, the truth and the life. In Him alone can man see all that he must be and all that he must do here below. Consequently the product of such a Christian Education should be a supernatural man who thinks, judges and acts constantly and consistently in accordance with right reason illumined by the supernatural light of the example and teaching of Christ. Conscious of the idea that it is the whole man that must be educated, Fenwick has built up a program that takes into consider- ation all the faculties of man. Her courses of study are so arranged that they, supplemented by instruction, supernatural truths, and the means of grace, will enlighten the intellect, strengthen the will, correct the many disorderly inclinations consequent upon fallen na- ture, and above all encourage and regulate the good tendencies in her students.

Such a section has been deliberately omitted because Religion and morals are not distinct phases in the educa- tional program at Fenwick. Religious and moral instruction is giv- en by word and example at all times whether in the classroom, in the chapel, at social functions, or on the athletic field. It is the ear- nest endeavor of the Fathers to train men to be not intermittent but consistant Christian gentlemen. Consequently in preparing this book as a memento of the school activities of 1939 we have found it convenient to divide it into the above mentioned phases. 4 q2 Ten Years at Fenwick It is with pride and satisfaction that We reflect upon the brief, though glorious, history of Fenwick. Ten short years compass the span of her existence yet she has risen to a fully accredited school with a rating justly to be proud of. Many of her students have gone forth, in the fields of letters and of ath- letics, as comets leaving a trail of glory behind them for the oncoming students to follow. TTTTT INTELLECTUAL Phase . Fenwick, with her well trained faculty and docile pupils, con- tinuing in the best scholastic traditions, uses the method of intel- lectual training best designed to develop habits of deep thought and sound character based upon solid principles, so as to equip her students to solve the fundamental problems of life and to discharge their duties as men of God and citizens of the World. W . X R 1, fi N , A!! L2 REV. W. A. FINCEL, O.P., M.A Principal EDUCATI G THE WHOLE MA Father Fincel, as Principal, has directed the educa- tional system of Fenwick for the past two years. As a member of the Science Department for seven years he was able to acquaint himself not only with the aptitudes and needs of the boys but also with methods of instruc- tion and equipment helpful in the school. This year, on the removal of Father Graham, he assumed the added duties of Moderator of the Fathers' Club, and as such has proven himself not only a scientific and educational lead- er but a leader of social activities as well. 5 I l'!IIlll-I l I I I 'VIIIIIIH Ti' a as iniiiiiii Rev. D. B. Myers, UP Q'l'lr Director of Studies, Vocations ..,L..4. . J Rev. P. J. Conaty, O.P., B.A. Director of Discipline Assistant Athletic Director English Father Myers, a member of the faculty for seven years, has for the last five held the key position between stu- dents and their studies. The importance of this position as Director of Studies can hardly be over-estimated since the course of studies pursued by a student in high school often determines the success or failure of the activities of his whole life. Father Conaty, succeeding Father Morrison, took active charge of the office of Dean of Discipline on Jan- uary 31, 1939. He is to be congratulated on his success in this difficult position which he has laudably filled without slighting or relinquishing any of the obligations he already had as teacher of English and Assistant Ath- letic Director. In keeping With the admonition of Christ: Suf- fer the little children to come unto Me, the Domin- ican Order has placed at the disposal of west Chica- go and suburb residents a staff of teachers Well equipped to fulfill the mission of our Divine Lord. The Faculty, composed almost entirely of Dominican priests, repeats the tender invitation of Christ, and uses all its time and energies improving the children of the community. In doing this it is carrying out also the Wish of the late Holy Father Pope Pius XI. who expressed his ardent Wish in an encyclical letter that the Church would continue her rightful place in the scheme of education, and of the present Pope Pius XII., one of the greatest scholars of this day, who revealed his great interest in education both by his devotion to it and by choosing, on his reception into the Third Order of Saint Dominic, the name Brother Albert Thomas, thus selecting as patrons two of the greatest scholars of all time.

It re- gards the development of the whole man as of prime importance, a development that is possible only when moral training is added to secular learning. Mere secular training is not sufficient for the for- mation of true character, for it gives no considera- tion to the things really important and Worth while. It leaves out God, the immortal soul, eternity, man's real mission on earth, consequently it leaves man but imperfectly prepared to solve life's problems. The Catholic High School exists for the pur- pose of giving this moral development. It approach- es the study of the arts and sciences with the proper mental attitudeg that is, recognizing the existence of God, our duties to Him, and our obligations to our fellow-men. It is this background that is so essen- tial and makes for true character formation. The formal teaching of religion occupies only a small portion of the daily schedule without interfering with or encroaching upon the time required for the other studies.

The Dominicans have always been outstanding in the field of Catholic education. Saint Dominic gathered his first few followers and after sending them to school dispatched them to the University cities of the day to establish courses of instruction there. It was in these schools that the great Saint Albert and Saint Thomas laid the foundations and taught those doctrines which have become the bul- warks of learning that still confound the enemies of the Church. It is the descendants of these great masters and saints, who carry on the unbroken line of tradition of those schools and devote their time and energies to educate the youths of this vicinity. The system of education inaugurated by those ear- ly defenders of the faith is still carried on at Fen- wick minus none of the methods but aided by the improved means and knowledges gathered and ap- proved by experienced teachers throughout the cen- turies.

I . ominicans of the United States. As early as 1806, when the Dominicans first establish d th . e emselves in this country, Father Wilson opened a school for secondary education in a little log cabin in th h'll e 1 s of Kentucky. This .little school which began with amer h df ' ' e an ul of pupils, s1X to be exact, grew in the course of few years into Saint Thomas' C ll o ege under the leadership of Father, later Bishop Fen ' k wic the patron of our own school. Father Mazzuchelli, another pioneering Domin' ican, the Apostle of the Northwest, also began a school at S. . insenawa Mound in the southwestern corner of Wisconsin before the middle of the century. In 1851 the Dom' ' inicans of Ohio opened Saint Joseph's College in Perry county, Ohio. This latter school grew steadily until it was forced to close its doors at the time of the Civil War. For the next four decades the Dom' ' inicans of this country devoted most of their energy to mission Rev. C. A. Carosella, OP., M.Ed. Mathematics Rev. M. A. Kavanaugh, O.P., B.A. Director of Music American History i Rev. J. A. Siinones, O.P., B.A. 1 It i Religion and Latin Work in the frontier states but they never forgot the ideas of the early founders. When high schools came into prominence in this country the Dominican Fathers again took up the idea of education and opened Saint Patrick's High School in Columbus. Ohio, in 1905. This same school soon grew into a combined high school and college and Went under the name of Aquinas College, a name which it still possesses although operating only as a high school. The next step in education was the founding of Providence College in Rhode Island in 1920 which has been prospering and expanding rapidly. The Rev. G. C. McGregor, O.P., M.A. General Science Rev. C.

It has always been characteristic of Dominican education to lay stress upon moral and intellectual development, but this does not mean that it neg- lected the other phases of activity necessary for a well rounded education. The idea of extra-curric- ular activities to develop the whole man always played its part in the scheme of Dominican educa- tion. Sports had not yet become a part of school life in the middle of the last century, the hardships of the pioneer sufficed to build up the body, but from records we do learn that such activities as debating, music, and dramatic productions together with the publication of a monthly paper were part of the training of the active student at St. Joseph's school as early as 1851. There is no need to expand upon the activities offered and engaged in at Fenwick today for the present volume will amply show by word and picture the various educational, moral, physical, cultural, and recreational activities engaged in by the stu- dents at Fenwick. A brief persual of this book will suffice to show how Fenwick and her religious teachers fulfill their duty to God and Catholic secondary education in the United States by training young men in the knowledge of Christian principles of right living so that they may bring to the com- munities in which they shall spend their adult lives the advantages of a Christian heritage twenty centuries old, the great moral training and guidance of the Catholic Church.

Beginning in October we spent our Sunday afternoons in Mills Stadium watching the Fenwick Football team. ln Decem- ber the basketball season captivated our interest, and soon after- ward we ran into those tedious semester exams. The rest of the year was well occupied with the Midnight Show, the Boxing Tournament, the Annual Carnival, and the final exams. SEPTEMBER 1936 As Sophomores we were more mature, and quite frequently attended the Fenwick dances. The football team became City Co-Champs, and the basketball team, not to be outdone, walked off the courts at Loyola as National Catholic Champions. In April the only play at Fenwick in four years, Joan of Arkansas, was pre- sented in the gym. June again brought the final exams and the end of another school year. ll il ll l l l l 'MIIIIIII Mii CLASS OFFICERS V S FELTROP, O.P. REV. . ..

Looking back over the past year we, the Class of '40, can say that We have really set an enviable record for other Junior classes to equal or surpass. Our activities as Juniors have embraced all phases of school life: scholastic, athletic, and social. Early in September, 1938, our Moderator, Father Kavanaugh, held the class election. William Riley was re-elected for the office of Presid t ' en , whereas Paul Gas- kill, George Frederick, and Charles Van Zeveren, were elected to the offices of Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively. These boys have been the able leaders of the class for this past year and merit thanks. Olll' The scholastic record of the Junior Class has been very gratifying. Such boys as Paul Springer, Roger Denne and Bernard Frett have honored the class by be- ing among those listed on the honor roll, while hosts of others have taken places on the Honorable Mention Roll. In the realm of sports lies the hope for our success during the coming year. With George Elder, captain of the Fenwick squad for 1939-1940, and .such boys as R. Curran, G. Frederick, E. Dunigan, B. Frett, C. Rogers, C. Van Zeveren, J. Campagna, M. Zanoni, P. Pro t D. Carrah ' vos , er, R. Denne, A. Fisher, M. Flyke, J. Larkin, ANDID We love our 1nodc1'utor.

Korda leading the Fenwick Friars may con- fidently look forward to victory. The basketball team this year was made up chiefly of Juniors. Jack Giroux, George Elder, Dix Carraher, and Jack Lewis played regularly and received their major awards. George Fred- erick, Frank McNichols, and Frank Doonan were repre- sentatives of the class on the lightweight squad, while many others played on the flyweight, bantam weight and in the intramurals. To the junior class goes the distinction of running the first Roller Derby. The affair was a huge success, both socially and financially. The party was under the chair- manship of Edward Dunigan, who was ably assisted by Paul Gaskill, Roger Denne, Joseph Duffy and Philip Pro- vost. The Junior Prom, always a social success at Fenwick reached a new high this year. It has been said by the stu- dents and alumni that it was the best attended and most enjoyable dance ever given by Fenwick. It was held at the Medinah Grand Ball Room and the music was furnished by the Diminutive Maestro, Jack Russell. The success of the Prom must be attributed to the zeal of the Junior class, the support of the students, and the good work of Roger Denne, Chairman, and his committee, consisting of Edward Dunigan, Frank McNichols, Frank Schnell, Philip Provost, Gene Morris, Thomas Brown, John J. Walsh, Frank Doonan, and Robert Curran. As this scholastic year ends, we, the Class of '40, look forward with fondest hopes to our Senior year. We will strive to make use of all the helps our school offers to make us better students now, and better Catholic gentle- men in later life. We realize and appreciate what th e School and faculty are doing for us and in return we will ever keep before us the standard of Fenwick. 'J J J. Kern T. O'Connor D Wilkin l P. Sheridan C.

Almost forgotten, too, at the end of their second year is the triumphant feeling experienced last September, their sensation of importance as the youngsters of the new and green class of '42 made their appearance and were thrown into the tried and tested hands of the new Sophomores to be broken in. Now the loig and manly J uniors-to-be wonder that they had so much enjoyment in initiating the poor little Freshmen into the secrets, difficulties, and amenities of high school life.

All through the year their members were in preparation, and many have already dis- tinguished themselves in various activities. Among those who were outstanding in football are Ned Maloney, Joseph Kennelly, Joseph Giunta, Fred Olsen, and Charles Brady-all of them men who look very promising for next year. In basket- ball John Payette was outstanding-the most valu- able player on the lightweight quintet. William Doherty, Joseph O'Keefe, and Charles Brady are good material for the basketeers of next year. William Brown earned a major letter in swimming. Possible stars or next year are Richard Bucking- ham, John McGowan, and Raymond Collins. The Sophomores led in b ox i ng, placing Gz'r'! Illllllid you do H? C. Alessio, Thomas Harrison, and George Brennan in the championship list. Sophomorcs turned out, too, for track and golf. The second year men have not lost sight of the important fact that studies come first. They have proved that by consistently placing a notable num- ber of students on the honor roll and honorable mention. William McGah and George Keller appear to take the lead. In public speaking and debating the Sopho- mores are represented by such leaders as Paul Sikorski, John Twomey, and John Kelly-the last named having won second place in the Fenwick Speech Night contest.

The class is well represented in the Band, and its musicians are helping to make that organization the vital part of school activity that it should be. The second year men are not allowed to have social activities of their own, but they did show exceptional spirit and interest in the dances and parties sponsored by other classes. They held the record for attendance at the Confraternity dance. The Sophomores officers wish to acknowledge here, publicly, in the name of the class the interest, patience, and devotion which their teachers, the priests, have shown them during this year. The class thanks the teachers wholeheartedly. up ill FRESHME TELL ALL . September of 1938 once more saw an increase in the Freshman enrollment at Fenwick as 170 boys became members of the Class of '42, Included were 10 brothers of Alumni and 8 brothers of upperclass- men. But such kinship saved none from the oppres- sion of the new-born Sophomores. Each Freshman Wore bow tie and sang the school song or faced the judgement of the Soph Court. The sentences of that tribunal were not soon forgotten by those who scrubbed walls in punishment for disobedience to Soph instructions. In early October the Class elected a Frosh Council to aid Father Carosella in organizing the Class and in boosting school activities. Those elected were Boehlar, Conlon, Dillon, Duggan, Harris, Bill Hosty, Kilgallon, Lingle, Bob Murphy, Organ, Provenzano and Riley. The appeal of the Moderator at the first Class meeting, for individual participation in extracurric- ular activities, was answered nobly. Over twenty volunteered for the Band, '75 tried for Football, While others signed up for aid to the athletic managers and for camera work. ln Football, the Frosh won three games and tied one while they ran CLASS OFFICERS REV.

The inter- est of non-players was manifested not only during the football season when the Class attained 100W representation at four games, but also throughout the year by attendance at the basketball games and swimming meet. Over sixty Frosh tried for places on the Senior, Junior, Bantam, or Flyweight team. The Frosh members of the Band practiced regularly and played with the Band at Football and Basketball games. Intramural athletics offered many Freshmen opportunities for participation. Frank Bruno was the best Frosh forward passer, while Doody was winner of the Class contests in free throwing and also in Golf. Willie Walsh won over all other Frosh pingpong players. Almost 105 Freshmen entered the school boxing tournament but Dick Bennett was Get away from the wi1zdow. ' Turn u1'ou1zd. ' Father works on A Freshman's heaven.

Meanwhile the intellectual achievements of the Class of '42 were noticed in each publication of the Honor Roll and Honorable Mention listings. They surpassed the Sophomores and Juniors and tied the Seniors in the number of occasions when Class members achieved listing on the Honor Roll.

Aware that a Well ordered man must be sound both in mind and body, Fenwick has built up a system of athletics of which she is justly proud. In so doing she has not only built up the physical man by her Varied program of com- petitive and intramural sports but has also developed a spirit of good sportsmanship both Within and without her walls. ' REV. J. P. MCDERMOTT, O.P. REV. P. J. CONATY, O.P. PHY ICAL ED CATIO MR. TONY LANVLESS at Fenwick Fenwick's embryo football team for 1938 opened the fall practice sessions earlier than usual. Some one hundred candidates reported by invitation on August 21, but the squad was augmented considerably when school opened in September. Coach Lawless found himself with veterans .loc Burch, a tackle, YVill Drolet, a guard, .lack Barry, an end, and Captain Johnny Barrett, a back. Besides these four, Lawless also had obtained a good perspective of several seniors who had seen but little, if any, action during the previous season. Such was the team that must be molded in three weeks to face the reputedly powerful' Austin squad, defending city champion. Practice began in the sweltering August heat which subsequently proved helpful every game was played in what is most accurately described as baseball weather. The early sessions were devoted mainly to conditioning, which prog- ressed rapidly in the heat. Contact work was started the next week. Fundamentals were stressed and the simpler maneuvers polished, so that, instead of executing a jumble of half-prac- ticed plays. the squad might be able to do a few things well. The week before the game rain washed out all contact work, and the squad had to rely on a certain amount of luck because their opponents outweighed them approximately twen- tv pounds to the man. However, luck and fight did it and the final score read: FENWICK 19 3 AVSTIN 13 after Bob Maloney took a pass from Barrett to score standing up, and Tom Hunter added the extra point from placement. Approximately one and a half minutes of playing time remained after the score, during which the Black and YVhite succeeded in staving off a wild passing attack by their opponents. Coach Lawless had started an all-senior eleven composed of Jim Mullen at center, Will Drolet and Ed DeStefano at guard, Joe Burch and Tom Hunter at tackle, John lielly and Jack Barry at end, .lack Bailey at quarter, Maloney and Wally Stock at halfback, and Barrett at fullback. The game remained scoreless until the second quarter when Austin scored on a long pass, Peifer to Skoran. Bell passed to Viehman for the extra point. The Friars bounced back and chalked up a score on Barrett's pass to Jack Barry, but the attempt at conversion was blocked. Early in the third period Austin was the recipient of a break and capitalized on it. Peifer's punt was fumbled on the Friar nine-yard marker, from which point Peifer took it over in one try. Conversion was unsuccessful. A blocked punt by Joe Burch paved the way for the second Fenwick tally. Running plays moved the ball to the one-yard stripe where Bai- ley took it, and scored. A placement attempt failed and the game seemed destined to end in defeat for the Friars, until an Austin fumble was recovered on their twenty-yard line and the win- ning play consummated. FENNVICK 13 - ST. MEL 6 ln the second game of the season, a non-league affair on Sunday, September 25, the Friars van- quished their traditional rivals, St. Mel. The same lineup that opened with Austin, with the exception of Joe Solon, who replaced Kelly at end, started this game. The Melites scored first, in the second period, when they completed a long pass, DeSylvester to Stottman, but the try for the extra point failed. Rex J. P. McDermott, 0. P.. Director of Athletics: T L 'l ss C- h' OIW BNN 9 , OAC . Maixe Adams, Assistant Coach: Rex P. J, Conaty, O. P., Assistant Athletic Director. The half ended with a much under-estimated St. Mel team leading 6-tl. The Friars came back strong in the second half and struck hard and frequent, but it was an in- tercepted pass and subsequent return that gave the Black and White the ball on the Mel twenty- yard marker. Barrett passed to Bob Dillon on the nine-yard line, and Stock plowed through to the two. Barrett smashed inside tackle for the score and Tom Hunter kicked the extra point. Shortly thereafter Barrett intercepted a Mel pass and carried it back to the five. Elder, at halfback for Stock, turned the Gaels' left end to score and the game ended with the Friars on St. Mel's three-yard line. L! The S AS N OPENS fin FENWICK 6 - ST. GEORGE 0 For the seventh consecutive season Fenwick won its opening league football game without being scored upon. This year St. George was the opponent to go down in defeat, 6-0. Early in the third quarter Captain Johnny Barrett ran forty yards off tackle for a touchdown. This game also settled the matter of the two ties and coin toss of the 1937 season. Numerous penalties stopped the efforts of both teams. The main part of the game was a kicking duel, Jack Bailey easily demonstrated his ability in this department. The shifting of Johnny Barrett to the safety position when the other team was kicking proved a very valuable move. Johnny ran back every punt that came his way. The advances of the Dragons were repeatedly stopped by a strong defense. Again Johnny Barrett proved his ability as a ballplayer, and was helped considerably by Solon, End Captain Barrett, Full Back Drolet, Guard Hunter, Tackle Burch, Tackle Jim Mullen. After Fenwick had scored, the Dragons re- sorted to their passing attack to a great extent, but was successfully stopped by the numerous interceptions of Barrett and Maloney. Two promising sophomores, Joe Kennelly and Ned Maloney, displayed their talent to the satisfaction of all.

FENNVICK 6 - DE PAUL 0 On October 9, the Friars handed De Paul a 6-0 setback. lt was Fenwick's second straight league victory. The Friars displayed a great defensive team, time and time again stopping the thrusts of the De Paulians. The line stood like a stalwart wall, it was impregnable. Joe Solon and Joe Burch displayed fine defensive ability during this game, Johnny Barrett and Jim Mullen contributing much to the great defensive play. Early in the second quarter Johnny Barrett took the ball from Jim Mullen and smashed through the opposi- tion's right tackle for six yards and a touchdown. The extra point was a little too wide, and Fenwick led 6-0, Although several offensive drives netted the Friars much ground the De Paul line always held its ground whenever the Friars threatened seriously. Johnny Barrett and Bob Maloney were the keylnen in these drives. Maloney man- aged to get around the De Paul boys several times for substantial gains. The displayrof power both offensively and defensively showed the making of a great team. Both teams were continually digging in. Jakubowski and Kudlacz, the fullback and center of the losers, played good games for De Paul. tlozzo, Guard Kelly, End Mullen, Center FE WICK Sweeps On ! FENWICK 19 - ST. IGNATIIIS 0 On Tony Lawless day, before a capacity Homecoming crowd, Fenwick trounced Ignatius, 19-0. This was the Friars' first real test, and they came through with flying colors. The Friars scored twice in the second quarter. The first touchdown came when an Ignatius back had his kick blocked by Johnny Kelly. .lack Barry coming in from his right end position scooped up the ball and sped across the goal line. Barry then made it complete by kicking the extra point. The next score was set up when Fenwick was given the ball on the fifteen-yard line. Igna- tius was penalized for clipping an end covering one of Bailey's punts. The score was made on a pass from Barrett to Bob Maloney. In the fourth quarter Barry downed Bailey's kick on the one-yard line and Ignatius had to kick from the end zone. Fenwick then took the ball on the forty-yard line and commenced an onslaught that ended only when Maloney had scored from the eleven-yard stripe. Throughout the game much of Fenwick's suc- cess was due to .lack Bailey's superb kicking. This was the Friars' third straight victory in league competition and it placed them in a tie for first in the North Section. rs, A. Elder, Half Back Ortenzi, Tackle Bailey, Quarterback Stock, Half Back McMahon, End FENYVICK 13 - XVEBER 0 In one of the best games of the season, Fenwick's Friars met and conquered the highly publicized Weber team. The Black and White defeated the red horde of Pilney- men, 13-0. The victory was Fenwick's fourth in the league, and it placed them at the top of the heap in the North Section. The Friars gained possession of the ball on their own twenty-five-yard line early in the game and marched straight down the field with a succession of running plays. Captain Barrett plunged over from the four- yard line. Barry dropped back from end to kick the extra point. At the beginning of the second quarter it was the Black and Whitets ball on their thirty-yard line. Again they started their offense rolling and marched on down the field using only running plays. To climax the drive Barrett again hit the line for two yards and a touchdown. The kick from placement was wide. This concluded the scoring for the after- noon. Although Fenwick threatened sev- eral more times, they were always checked by penalties. The VVeber running attack certainly didnit live up to its advertised reputation, but it is suspected in some cir- cles that Fenwickts line was more than a little responsible. The closest the Red attack came to scor- ing was Fenwick's thirty-yard line and, be- fore they lost the ball on downs, they were pushed back to the thirty-five-yard line. The rest of the game whiled away until to- ward the end of the game when Weber took to the air in a desperate effort to score. The ball was still in midfield when the gun went off. FENWICK 26 we ST. PHILIP 6 Victory came easy and the Friars walked from the field the virtual champions of the North Section when their game with St. Philip's was over. The Purple gained but one distinction from the game, that of being the first of five league opponents to cross the Friar goal line. The score was made late in the fourth quarter against Friar substitutes by Fowler who caught a pass in the clear and ran forty yards for the points. The Friars counted four times during the afternoon. The first was made by Joe Solon on a run from the Philip twenty-six yard lineg Barrett scored from the two yard line in the second quarter and Barry added the point from placement. Just before the end of the second half Fenwick counted again on a pass from Barrett on the twenty-five yard line to Barry in the end zone. The final score came in the third quarter when Barry carried the ball on an end-around for the final fifty-three yardsg Hunter put the cap on the game with the extra point from placement. FENVVICK 28 - LOYOLA 0 Fenwick Friars took with ease the last hurdle in the long race for the North Section Championship with a 28-0 victory over Loyola. It was the Friars' sixth league conquest, and it gave them undisputed reign over the North Section. Barrett and Company were a bit tardy in scoring and it was not until late in the second quarter that Johnny threaded the needle when he hurled a thirty-yard pass to .lack Barry who scampered the remaining twenty yards for the first score. Barry came back from his right end post to boot the extra point. After the half the Friars again took up their scoring ways on receipt of the kickoff with a march straight down the field for a touchdown. Jack Bailey made the score on a quarterback sneak from the one-foot line. Barrett made it 14-0 by making good his attempt from placement. A few minutes later Bailey brought the crowd to its feet with a forty- five-yard return of a Loyola punt. .lack took the pigskin, outmaneuvered two would-be tacklers, picked up a foursome of blockers and sprinted untouched along the sideline for a score. The remainder of the scoring for Fenwick came when John Kelly, Friar end, tossed Boughton, a Loyola back, into the end-zone for a safety and when .lohn Barrett wiggled his way through the Loyola defense for fifteen yards and the final score. The game progressed slowly in the last half, because time-outs were called repeatedly to enable Loyola to carry their players off the field. All in all, the Black and XVhite had a ltoman holiday.

Mount Carmel, capitalizing on a break midway in the fourth quarter, was able to ring down the curtain on Fenwickfs hopes for the Catholic Championship by eking out a one-point victory. After showing their defensive caliber in the first quarter, the Fighting Friars came to life late in the second period and gar- nered the first score of the game. Fenwick took possession of the hall when Tony Ortenzi recovered John Andretich's fumble on the Caravan's fifteen-yard line. Three plays gained a first down and finally Barrett completed a pass to Johnny Kelly, in the end-zone. The try for the extra point was wide. Up until the fourth quarter of the game, as play see-sawed back and forth, it seemed as if the Friars' sterling defense would hold the Caravan at bay. But such was not to be the case. The Caravan scored midway in the fourth quarter. The Friars took the ball on their own fifteen-yard line after stopping a Car- mel scoring threat. Mixed signals on the first play resulted in a had pass from center. The ball rolled into the end-zone, and the Friar backs, stunned, hesitated, and Norm Hall, Carmel end, fell on the ball.

Throughout the game, the Caravan held the upper hand. It out-gained the Friars by some forty yards and more than doubled the yardage on passes. But the stubborn Black and White defense, led by Barrett, Burch, and Bailey, once deep in their own terri- tory, refused to give an inch. It was the last game in the high school football careers of such Fenwick stalwarts as Barrett, Solon, Barry, Stock, Kelly, McMa- hon, Dillon, Burch, Hunter, Ortenzi, DeStefano, Cozzo, and Ma loney. LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL LIGHTS ck 7 Prov ck 27 St. Mcls ck 19 Lane Tech ck 6 Prov ck 44 Ignati ck 26 Loyola ck 13 St. Geo FOOTBALL Fenwick's lightweight football team again went through a successful season under the guidance of Bob Held and Dan O'Brien. Although they suffered the first defeat handed to Fenwick's lightweight team in three years, they did display p.lenty of good football. The Junior Friars succeeded in beating St. Ignatius, Lane Tech, St. Mel, Proviso, St. George and Loyola. The one defeat was handed to the lightweights in their return game with Proviso, when they lost 7-6. Lightweight football unveiled surprising talent during the season. Several good offensive and defensive backs were developed. In the St. Ignatius game seven backs registered touchdowns alone. This parade included Joe Kennelly, George Fredericks, Bob Curran, Eddie Dunigan, Tom Moore, Barney Frett, Chuck Rogers and Chuck Van Zeveren. Bob Curran was by far the outstanding star among these. In the line, which stood like a stalwart wall against all opposition, we have Mario Zanoni, Ned Maloney, Bud Olson, Bud Korda, Dixi Carraher, Phil Provost, Mike Larkin, Happy Lewis, Joe Guinta, Milt Flyke, Art Fisher and Rog Denne. All consistent performers. Coach Lawless can expect much from these boys next year and he will get it.

The chief obstacle for Coach Tony Lawless to overcome was dreaded inexperience. The arrangement of the schedule added to the obstacle for in the first season game they had as their opponent the pre-season favorite, St. Philip. The Black and White fought gamely, but in vain, and they were defeated, 30-23. Signs of improvement were shown in the Loyola game as the Friars were the victors in a thrilling 23-22 contest. The next week, however, the powerful St. Ignatius team proved to be too much for the unseasoned Fenwick quintet and they won, 36-25. The Black and W'hite traveled North for the next two weeks and were beaten in two very similar heart-breaking engagements. First VVeber won, 33-31. Then it surely seemed though the Fates had taken sides against the Black and White for St. George conquered them by the same margin, 28-26. Nevertheless, there was some joy in the two games, for great signs of improvement were exhibited by the green squad. The great- est improvement seemed to be shown by George Elder, Dixie Carraher, and Jack Lewis. For the last game of the first round of Catholic League play, Dc Paul came to Fenwick and was defeated, 31-28, in a very exciting contest. Be- sides the aforementioned improvement of the green squad two other points stood out in this first round of play. First was the great scoring ability illustrated by the veterans Captain Barrett and .lack Giroux, and second was the defensive action of Jack Bailey, graduate from last year's lightweight team.

The opening game of the season was with the Shamrocks of St. Pat and found the team on the long end of a 32-30 score, the result of a last-minute rebound shot by .lack Lewis. The shot Climaxed a thrill-packed evening, and showed a Friar quintet of unforeseen possibili- ties. Captain Barrett led the scoring with thir teen points. ln a home and home series the Friars took the measure of the De La Salle Meteors twice, the first time in the absence of Barrett, 23-20, and in the return match.

' of Catholic The Black and White Quintet began the second hall League play against the high-riding St. l'hilip's team. Despite many tough breaks, Fenwick's fine showing in the last part of the first round was most encouraging. With justified hopes, the Fenwick stalwarts played host to their former conquerors, yet in the first half it seemed that these hopes were too high. Although the Friars held them to an even score, it appeared that St. Philip had dominated the play. The second half, how- ever, was a different story. Carraher must have thought of the days spent at St. Philip's and decided to show them that they could not defeat Fen- wick twice in one year, for soon after the period started, Dixie was ap- parently inspired as he sank six haskets in rapid succession from the same spot of the side court. This sparked the other members of the team especially George Elder. St. Philip lost, 40-33. Fa 15 Action ! Fenwick then traveled to the North Side to play the Loyola team. llere Barrett, Giroux, and Elder saw to it that their winning streak was continued, and Fenwick was the victor, 34-27. From there the Friars journeyed to lgnatius to encounter this unbeaten quintet. The game was close and, until the last minutes, it looked as if the Northsiders had finally met their match. Something seemed to crack after a desperate, futile argument with the referees, and Fenwick was defeated, 36-23. Following the aforesaid disappointment the Fenwick five met Weber and again were repelled in their attempt to vanquish the Red Raiders. Bailey and Lewis were the main threats to VVeber's supremacy as Fenwick bowed to defeat, 28-24. N Even in her own gynmasium Fenwick was no match for the power- ful St. George five, fighting furiously for the bid to the Loyola Tourna- ment. Although trying hard to win, Fenwick fell before the crushing force of St. George's attack, 36-19. For the last game of the season Fenwick visited De Paul and were victors, 30-25, in a very thrilling game. This was the final game under Fenwick's colors for Captain Barrett, Bailey, and Bill lfliebock and in it they displayed the fine type of play that was characteristic of them all year. Praise must also be given to .lack Giroux, Lewis, Carraher, and Iilder for the great basketball ability they exhibited during the colorful season. ,ff K V , A A V Y gb V, wi Nw i ,N A , I .

Led by Captain George Singer, the .luniors played a courageous game, but were defeated, 24-22. The Friars then traveled to their home grounds to meet Loyola. The team showed a fast scoring offense and won, 44-33. Frankie Doonan led the scorers, but Captain Singer and Payette also contributed much to the successful engagement. The effectiveness of the Black and White was not dulled for their galne with St. Ignatius. Payette and Singer were the main factors in their 37-20 victory. After this encounter, the Fenwick .luniors traveled to Weber and found the lied Raiders to be their betters, 31-22. Fenwick went north again, this time to face the highly-touted St. George five. Frankie McNichols and Payette inspired the Friars to overcome a lead and carry the game into an overtime. bt. George managed to score, however. and became the victors, 27-25. Dunigan, Doherty, Giroux. Returning home, Doonan and Frederick were the main stal- warts in Fenwick's 42-15 victory. Dooley and McNichols also were important factors in the high-scoring game. The Fenwick quintet remained at home to avenge their first defeat, adminis- tered by St. Philip's, but this time the situation was ably handled by scrapping Frederick, McNichols, and Doherty, who saved the day with a 21-10 victory, Again the team journeyed to Loyola and made them their vic- tim, this time, 35-25, with Frederick, Doonan, and Doherty the scoring leaders. Still away from home Fenwick defeated St. Ignatius for the second time. Doonan and Payette were the lead- ers in the 40-20 victory. The .lunior five then played Weber in the Oak Park gymna- sium. Fenwick achieved their vengeance and defeated the league- leading Weber quintet, 33-24. Frederick, Doonan, and Doherty led the Friars in the victorious encounter. An inspired St. George team came to Fenwick's gymnasium and beat Fenwick, 29-18, in a very exciting game. The Fenwick .luniors then traveled to De Paul for the final game of the season and were surpassed in a fast overtime game, 28-25. This game marked the close of the most successful season for a Fenwick .lunior Quintet. Captain Singer and Doolev are the only members graduating this June and they deserve inuch credit for the victorious season. Payette, Doonan, Frederick. and Doherty, returning veterans, were high scorers throughout the season, while the floor play of Frank McNichols was the spirit of the .lunior attack. Our Bantams and Flies ended the past season with records superior to any made by former teams. With sixteen wins to only five defeats, the Flies rounded out a very successful season. The Bantams, on the other hand, playing against opposition which exceeded them both in size and experience, finished their sched- ule with nine wins against eight defeats. For many years Father Feltrop has coached these teams, giving athletes who have not played much basketball prior to entering Fenwick a chance to develop. ln so doing Father has not only helped these boys personally, but has also given a great deal of material to the Heavies and Lights. This year the offense of the Flies was centered around .loe Jares, an excellent ball-handler and pivot man, while most of the feeding was taken care of by guards Tom Harvey and Bill McGre- gor. The above combination was balanced by the able forwards Bert Aamodt, ltay O'Connell, and Vern Collins, who with .larcs controlled the rebounds. But with the Bantams the offense usually went from the guard to the forward instead of to the cen- ter. Bccause of the size of their opponents, they had to over- come a major handicap in following rebounds. Their team con- sisted of .Iohn Cox and .loe Moysey at forward, Ken Pinns at center, and .loe Ryan and .lack Mariner at guards. Although these players saw most of the action, there were freshmen and sophomores on both squads who played a ffreat ' v 6 deal and will he ready to work for an even more successful season Flyweights and Bantamweights REV.

During the course of the season the mermen defeated Loyola, Austin, Steinmetz, and St. Leo's and lost only to Loyola and Maine. They closed the season by swim- ming away with the Catholic League Championship. With the return of Captain Bob O'Brien, Bill Thomas and Ed DeStefano as nucleus, Coach Bill Thomson built up his team. Around these men were George McClellan, George Marchev, Bob Weller, Bill Brown, Bob Selingo, Mike Mooney, Matt Keane, Wally Gunlfel, Joe Duffy and Joe Elwood. Bob O'Brien, DeStefano, Keane, and Elwood made up the 200yard relay team. These boys won all but one of the events which they entered, the two former swimmers carried on the battle in the 100 yard lanes. Bob Selingo was the best distance man on the squad, McClellan and Marchev split honors in the backstroke, while Thomas and Elwood carried on in the 50 yard free style. Thomas was by far the out- standing individual on the squad. When opportunity offered itself Brown, Weller, Gunkel and Mooney stepped out in front with the backstroke. Brown, like the great medley team- Thomas, McClellan and Brown, came out victor in every contest of the season. The diving was represented by Joe Elwood, Dick Buckingham and R. Collins who show promise for next season. 4 ff C! 'VI V V , . , 4, .- aa E, .4 .., ,Z :X 'f . 45 'V . CATHOLIC LEAGUE SWIMMING MEET On Sunday afternoon, April 2, in the Loyola University swimming pool, Fenwick's swimming team won the Catholic League swimming championship for the second consecutive timeg thus making it six out of a possible seven champion- ships in the aquatic sport. During the preliminaries, held the previous evening, Fenwick's mermen made it very evident that they intended to retain their championship when fifteen Friars qualified. Fenwick won every event except the diving. First places were taken Captain Bob O'Brien, George Marchev, Bill Thomas, Bill Brown, the 200 yard relay, O'Brien, DeStefano, Cullerton, and McCarthy, and the medley relay, Brown, Marchev, and Thomas. Fenwick scored 5215 points to win, while Loyola finished second with 26 points, St. Leo and St. Philip-finished third and fourth respectively. Two Catholic League records were broken. During the preliminaries George McClellan set a new record by swim- ming the 50 yard breaststroke in 31.8, one tenth of a second faster than the previous record. J. Hayes of Loyola scored 216.8 points to displace Jim Meany's 1938 record. -12 SYVIMMING SENIORS 21 Austin 14 Skeinmet 5 34 St. Leo 42 Loyola 11 40 Steinmetz ll 40 Austin I 45 Loyola Z1 Maine 4 021.2 I oyolu fChZ1I'llDl0hShi1Ji GRAMMAR SCHOOL SWIMMING TOURNAMENT On Friday evening, May 12, Fenwick's Seventh Annual Grammar School swimming meet was held. This year's entry list was the largest in the history of the event, seventeen schools and some two hundred youngsters participating. St. Paul of the Cross, Park Ridge, was the victor by a very small margin over St. Joseph's of LaGrange, St. Lucy's finished third. All the individual races were exciting and close, but the outstanding event of the e ' vening was the 75 yard free style which was won by Thorne of St. Joseph's in the fast time of 53.5. This annual meet usually draws many outstanding swim- mers to Fenwick. As far back as the first event, won by an excellent team from St. Thomas', Fenwick has benefited much, having been able to draw upon entrants as likely material once th h ey ad entered high school. Such swimmers as George Spehn and George McClellan in the breast stroke: F. Quinn and J. Manaca in the back strok E . eg bby Maran and Bill Thomas, free style, Chuck Fahrner and Jim Meanv in diving, all have come on to Fenwick from this meet, and all have held records either in our own pool or in the Catholic League May this ' . years entrants do as well when they reach Fenwick! JUNIOR TOP RONV: Coach Thompson, O'Leary, Brown. McGowan, Buckingham BOTTOM: ay C llerton, J. Collins, Iflcillinlg. Fenwick's junior swimming team finished one of its most successful seasons with a record of six victories and one defeat. In the last meet on the schedule, Fenwick dropped a close decision to the Maine Township team, 36-33. Previously the little Friar.s had taken double decisions over Loyola, Steinmetz, and Austin. The latter was the first victim of the Friars, succumbing, 27-19. Steinmetz was the Black and White next opponent, and sulosequent victim, falling 34-26. Loyola visited the Fenwick pool and went home chastened to the tune of 42-27. In a return match at their home pool, Steinmetz lost a 40-20 decision to our swimmers. Loyola suffered a similar fate in their pool, the score reading, 48-21. The return meet with Austin was a very close one, lout when the final score was read, the juniors were on the long end of a 31-29 count. Several very promising swimmers were uncovered in the course of the year, among them Tom Brown, Harry McCarthy, Jim Collins, Ray Collins, a diver, Joe Elwood, also a diver, th lic League senior meet and Bill who participated in the Ca o C, , ' 'ded minor Collins and Joe Elwood were awar Buckingham.

For the last nine years this intramural sport has brought forth more contestants, consistently, than any other contest. On an average of two hundred seventy-five boys have turned out annually to try their skill in the art of self-defense. 'Training for this event was carried on in the daily gym peri- ods, and further instructions were given on Saturday mornings by Tuffy,' Griffith. Punching-bags, sand-bags, gloves, jumping- ropes, ring, and other apparatus were provided for necessary training. Preliminary bouts were held in the gym classes where gylll class champions were selected to carry on in the afternoon bouts. The winners of the several classes in the gym periods clashed and the more skillful continued to the top. On the final night of the Tournament eight preliminary bouts preceded the champions. These bouts gave the anxious audience a sample of what was to follow. The preliminary contestants were those who lost out in the semi-finals. The audience was put on edge as the bouts proceeded. Several boys saw at least part of their hopes fulfilled, while others, although disheartened, kept their chins up and played gallantly the role of loser. After the short intermission the lights were dimmed, the band played the Victory March, and out of the darkness marched the finalists. Bathed in the light of the spotlight ray their black and white symbolic robes blended into the scene perfectly. Cheers and screams showed that the audience had reached a high pitch of excitement. Names of favorites and encouragements were shouted to the contestants by the numerous and ardent fans. Sportsmanship and goodfellowship were predominant as well as cunning and skill. Each gave all he had and did his best to come out the champion of his class. After the bouts the champions were gathered on one side, the runner-ups on the other side ol' the ring. llere they were given their well-earned rewards, medals with raised l ':a for the former and plain glove shaped medals for the latter.

In contrast to other years, a very inexperienced squad answered the call, and Coach Lawless had to build the team around the few returning regulars. This inexperience showed up greatly in the first two meets, with St. Leo nad St. George, particularly in the long and middle distance runs. The miler, Zapinskig half-milers, Seery and Clark, and the 660 and 400 men, Bruno and Schuster, and Elwood, Radke, and R. Thomas respectively, would have been much more valuable if they had had more time to develop. The dashes and the 220 were well taken care of by Bill Thomas and Captain Bob Maloney, who ran on the championship relay team last year, and Tom Moore. The hurdlers, Doonan, Cross, and Brady, a soph- omore, ran consistantly well. Giroux, in the high-jump, was the only returning veteran in the field events. Payette, a sophomore, was recruited to broad-jump. New faces on the track team, Carraher, Ned Maloney, Dick Murphy, and Allan, made up the Aweight throwing corps. NV. Thomas R Nlalonex Out of the annual intramural tennis tournament again rose a squad of victorious Friars who stood ready to meet all opponents. The little group of five organized under the leadership of Captain George Singer, the only senior on the squad, and entered the courts. Five times the Friars lived up to the school's expectations and returned home victorious, While they left but one triumph to the opposition. G The tennis season reached its climax at the Cath- olic League Meet held at Loyola. Of the eight teams participating in this event Loyola came out first with a score of 8, Fenwick placed second with 6, and St. Ignatius third with 3. Captain George Singer on this occasion also became the proud possessor of the med- al given to'the champion of the League Singles. The men to receive major letters this year Were: F. McNichols, J.

By April 15, over 77 potential golf champs had signed for competitive play. From the tiniest freshman to the tallest senior in the yearly tournament the eager light of the golfer's eye was seen. So when the day of the playoffs, April 15, came, the parade across the fairway began. Unusual play sparked the entire tour- nament. Several of the underclassmen showed real promise and a bit of practice should place them on top next year. The feature of the tournament was a tie for the championships between Willy Drolet and Lee Berlic, both seniors. The match play between the two gave Berlic the edge and the championship of the school with a low score of 87. Second place of course went to Drolet for his fine playing. Another tie, that for the third, was between Charley Wright, a senior, and Gene Morris, a junior. The class champions received medals for their success. This honor was conferred upon Lee Berlic, who led the Seniors and the school with his 87, Gene enny Pinns, Sophomore Morris, Junior, who shot 89, K , with 91, and to M.

For the growth and well being of the individual and society certain social relations must be developed. Here again Fenwick, by her student, alumni, and parent social functions, teaches the advantages that accrue to the individual and society at large by having all unite and sacrifice time, money, comfort, recreation, and prejudices to promote social fellow- ship and good will. R n the Social Whirl . . . To bring about social contacts and to stim- ulate friendship among students and friends, Fenwick sponsors a number of social activities each year. This year social life was begun well with the Confraternity dance in October. With the success of this dance as an incentive, the Sophomores, for the first time in history, spon- sored a Sweater Gallop in November. Next the Senior class held the Football dance, always a major event of the school year. But not all Fenwick's activities are confined to dances. Early in December the third annual Amateur Night was very successfully staged. Following this the Fenwick Fathers' Club gave a Football Banquet at which the football team was honored, and awards for athletic merits were presented to outstanding members of the team. At Christmas Fenwick students, filled with the spirit of Christ, collected and distributed Christ- mas baskets to needy people of the city. The Alumni, With a joyful spirit, at this time held a dancewvhich proved to be one of the most successful events ever sponsored by the Alumni. After examinations and Lent were over the Junior class opened activities with the Junior Prom, and later in April the Band dance offered a delightful evening to all present. Next the Fathers'-Mothers' Patry and as a climax to the school year, the Senior Dinner Dance was held. Never before in the history of Fenwick was a dance more successful. The excellent music and beautiful surroundings produced a lasting impres- sion on all those present. V. li. IS. CONNOLLY, O.P. Moderulol' The MOTHER Upon looking back over this year one cannot help recollectcing how well and admirably the Mothers' Club has adhered to the statutes on which it was founded eight short years ago. For the cooperation it has given to the various student affairs an un- payable debt of thanks is due to this organization. Likewise the mothers are to be congratulated for remodeling the school chapelg the alteration of which have rendered it a more suitable and fitting place to give honor to Almighty God. Besides the Mothers' Club under its president, Mrs. Thomas P. Collins, and its moderator, Father R. B. Connolly O. P., has provided a program of varied entertainment for the parents, students and friends of Fenwick. As usual they placed their diligent services at the disposal of the Fathers' Club in order to aid in the staging of the Annual Theatre Patry which this year was a decided success.

Ample enjoyment was afforded the parents, friends, and students of Fenwick through this activity which undoubtedly was one of the greatest social and financial successes of the year. Again this year, as a climax to their activities, the Mothers' Club sponsored a Senior Dinner on June 5 for the graduating class of 1939 whom they have helped and encouraged during the past four years. Now, although time has already closed its huge book in which are recorded the activities of the Mothers' Club of the present year, we may assure them that their work full of love and devotion will be ever living in the annals of Fenwick.

One of the chief attractions of the Club is its weekly meetings at which members enjoy the recreational facilities of the school such as boxing, volleyball, soft- ball, shuffleboard, and swimming for the active and card playing for the less energetic members. Among the successful annual events may be mentioned the Annual Retreat, Fathers' and Sons' Night, the Night of Stars at the Paradise Theater, the Fathers' and Moth- ers' Dinner Dance, and their Night of Prizes at the Lake Shore Athletic Club. Not only is the moderator and the officers of the Club to be congratulated for the success of the year but the whole staff of members whose co-operation made a successful year possible.

THOMA CO FRATER ITY Chief among the objectives of the Confraternity of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Catholic Action Society of Fenwick High School, has been the attempt to prepare the students for this leadership in a practical way. During the past year, discussion on such topics as social justice, crime prevention, peace, Communism and the eight beatitudes served to acquaint the mem- bers with the Church's attitude on questions of such vital importance to the world at large today. The Confraternity is also affiliated with Cisca fChicago Inter-Student Catholic Actionl. This year Fenwick relinquished its Chairmanship of the Legion of Decency Committee and was assigned instead to the Catholic NVorker Committee. Mr. Gail Fitch as Chair- man of this committee wrote many articles for the committee bulletins of Cisca, and Fenwick students helped to distribute Catholic Workers at strike meet- ings and on May Day. Among the other activities of the Confraternity were: the distribution of Christmas baskets, the Moth- ers' Day spiritual bouquet, the St. Thomas Day Sym- posium, amateur night, Cisca Holy Hour and the Confraternity Dance for the benefit of the Missions.

It is also hoped that a study club will be established to discuss opportune subjects relative to Catholic Action. The Alulnni is growing slow but sure, and it will continue to grow more rapidly as each graduating student realizes that the Fenwick Alumni is the frater- nal organization of today and the social and business ' t of tomorrow. contact poin REV.

The WICK In ten brief years The Wick has grown from a mere idea to a monthly publication with national recogni- tion. Under its first moderator Rev. J, L. Mclienny, O.P., and his successors Rev. J. N. XValsh, OP., and Rev. B. B. Myers, 0.P., and their student staffs The VVick has climbed to the coveted position of All- American awarded it this year by the National Scho- lastic Press Association. Distribution of the Catholic Scholastic Press Association honors is still pending. Well merited congratulation is offered to all mem- bers of the staff for their splendid work which places The Wick among the Champions of Fenwick. We are also proud to record that The Wick was ably repre- sented at the Catholic Press Association convention in Milwaukee by George Marchev, Robert VViltgen, James Farrell and Raymond Cross, all members of the staff. NVe wish continued success to Rev. G. D. Van Rooy, O.P., who assumed the duties of moderator of The Wick in March and to his new staff. WICK STAFF Editor-in-Chief .............. Associate .. ...

The purpose of this Society is to encourage and reward those who have put forth their best ef- forts and become outstanding students during their high school days. Not only must a student have a high scholastic rating for the four years of high school work but he must also have proven himself a real leader in class and extra-curricular activities. Likewise he must be a student with an irreproachable character. In his dealings with his fellowmen, whether they be his supe- riors, equals, or inferiors, he must always be an example to those about him in honesty, polite- ness and all other qualities possessed by a Chris- tian gentleman. Fenwick is proud to enroll six students as charter members in this newly established So- ciety. Membership awards and medals were conferred by the Principal Rev. Wm. A. Fincel, 0.P., in the presence of the Mothers' Club and assembled student body on the following Senior Honor Students: John M. Collins, VVilliam H. Griffith, John Kelly, George B. Marchev, John J. McHugh, and Robert Zimmermann. John M. Collins, '39 VVilliam H. Griffith, '39 John S. Kelly, '39 George B. Marchev, '39 John J. McHugh, '39 Robert Zimmermann, '39 This year one of the most progressive institu- tions in Fenwick was the Debating Union. Under the directorship of Rev. George G. Conway, O.P., it set a new high in competition by having over fifty debates with teams from five different States. Traveling to Minnesota for the St. Mary's College Tournament and to Wisconsin on an extended tour, the team carried the name of Fenwick to a wide area. The mainstays of the organization were .lohn Kelly and John Schroe- der for the affirmative and John Cook and Robert Selingo on the negative side. These men, all Seniors, ably upheld the honor of Fenwick in the newly created Catholic League which was formed early last fall with Father Conway in charge. The topic generally discussed this year was formally worded: Resolved: That the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain? This particular question, with an al- most unlimited scope, produced discussions both spirited and interesting. As the season progressed the younger members gained valuable experience in a number of non-decision debates both with the Seniors and with neighboring schools. The Debating Union, now in its fourth year, is rapidly growing in importance, for it gives par- ticipants an excellent opportunity for self ex- pression whieh will prove valuable in later life. Ever increasing numbers of Juniors, Sopholnores, and Freshmen are entering, and a bright, if not brilliant, future is promised for the energetic organization.

FENCING CLUB To develop speed, alertness, and skill in thought and action Fenwick students join the Fencing Club which was introduced into Fenwick two years ago as an activity of the German Club under the guidance of The Club's moderator Father V. S. Feltrop, O. P. Only junior and senior stu- dents of German were then eligible for membership as the main purpose of the organization was to promote interest in German sport and customs. During the first year Mr. J. H. Kraft, a winner of many national titles, coached the team with remarkable success. He was succeeded this year by Mr. Jack McAuliff, former Notre Dame captain, who has con- siderably developed the squad in the art of foil fencing. Besides competing with neighboring athletic associations, it is the custom of the Club to send representatives to the annual A. A. U. meet to be held this year at the University of Chicago. There Fenwick's fencers meet the best opposition of the city and are given a chance to show the skill they have acquired during the season. New life and spirit was introduced into Fen- wick activities this year by the reorganization of the band under the direction of its moderator Rev. J. A. Simones, O.P., and the baton of Mr. Ernest Potzmann. Decked in new uniforms the band, composed chiefly of underclassmen, made its first appearance at the Homecoming football game and continued with spirited renditions at the games following. It also added much color at the basketball games, the St. Thomas Sympo- sium, and at the boxing finals. At the election of officers in January James Farrell, senior clarinetist, was elected presidentg George Nicklas, Bill Doherty, and Edwin Motto were elected to the offices of vice-president, secretary, and librarian respectively. Other activities of the band were a dance sponsored by it in the school gym late in April and a color- ful and impressive spring concert given May 26 before an enthusiastic audience.

Half of man's enjoyment in this World is brought about by reminis- cing and reliving the past, Fenwick too has a memory and as she cele- brates her Tenth Birthday is it only fitting that she should look into the annals of her History and recounting enjoy the pleasant memories that her progress, victories, and triumphs recall to mind.

The Order accepted. The grounds of the old Cusack estate and the adjoining property were purchased. Wilfred E. Anthony, a New York architect, was engaged, and work on Fenwick, the superior high school of the west side, was begun, with the breaking of ground on November 23, 1928. Gradually a Gothic structure rose from the ground, reached to a height of four stories, and expanded to a three hundred foot frontage on Washington Boulevard. Strange as it may seem, on the first day of school, September 9, 1929, there existed a school spirit, a spirit aroused in the hearts of the students by the mere sight of the architectural gem which was now theirs. How proud they were of its Gothic beauty, of its splendid facilities, of its shining newness! The spirit thus begun was theirs to destroy or exhalt. For ten years we have seen each incoming class add something to that spirit, and today it exists, a part of the school as essential as the stones and mortar. Eighteen months after the ground had been broken and nine months after classes had begun, His Eminence George Cardinal Mundelein dedi- cated our school to God. This momentous event took place on May 18, 1930, before a distinguished gathering of clergy, religious, and laity. September, 1930, saw the first Parent-Teacher meeting at Fenwick, and the adoption of the first school song, the Alma Mater. In October the Master General of the Dominican Order, the Most Reverend M. S. Gillet, O.P., S.T.M., visited here. Since he was a Frenchman, honor and respect were shown him when the entire student body joined in the singing of the Marseillaise While the French tri-color and the gold and white of the Papal State were paraded before him. This, truly, was a most fitting ceremony due to a distinguished man. December came and passed, leaving behind a new chapel donated by a woman who wished her name to be left unknown, and a library which was made possible by generous contributors and the spirited work of Father Morrison. During February Fenwick was visited by the Dominican Provincial, and a few months later, in June, it closed its doors for the Summer vacation. Thus ended the second glorious year of Fenwick's existence. Once more, upon the departure of summer, classes were resumed, and the first semester of the school year 1931-32 was begun. A hundred and forty freshmen entered to complete the ranks of the newly inaugu- rated four year course. It was during the beginning of this year that the Mothers' Club under the guidance of Father Connolly, had its first meeting. It was also during this first semester that Fenwick was saddened by the death of Coach Tony Lawless's son. The second semester saw the forming of the Saint Thomas' Confra- ternity, with Art Wise as its first president. The first Junior Prom took place during February, and was followed closely by the first Retreat, conducted by Father Shea. Near the end of the year the Mothers' Club presented the school with an American and school flag. Five days before graduation the first Senior Prom was held. This year likewise saw the birth of Blackfriars with John McGleary, Jr., as the first Editor-in- Chief. Tempus fugit. Summer quickly passed and Fenwick opened her doors to the scholastic year of 1932-33 with an increased enrollment and eight new priests added to the faculty. The first annual football dance, sponsored by the senior class and their moderator, Father Kavanah, was held at the Knickerbocker Hotel. Later on in the year the newly organized Fathers' Club, under the direction of their president, Mr. Thomas Meany, promoted Fenwick's first Father and Son banquet. This, being followed closely by the inauguration of the Hi-Fen Club, climaxed the high points of the year. And so we fade into the next year, 1933, and the second semester. The most important happenings of all were the accrediting of Fenwick by the University of Illinois and the re-appointment of Father Leo Gainor, O.P., as principal of our school. But, amid the joyous events, tragedy struck once more, when on March 31, Wally Congdon was called to his final reward. Early in June the first four year class gathered to receive their diplomas, proud and eager for a new life, but sad at that last meeting. Another summer, another vacation, and then came fall and another school year 1933-34. The World's Fair was in full swing at this time and probably was responsible, in part, for the great enthusiasm and school spirit which was then prevailing. The band broadcasted from the Fair Grounds. The winning football team was in the limelight, and the fame of Fenwick's Fighting Friars became city-wide. The second semester was about the same as the preceding year, with proms and minor dances dominating the social life. There were, however, a few new innovations, the first of which was the Fenwick Forum, a group of students who entertained the student body with speeches, music, and short skits. The second was Col.lege Day, the day on which college representatives come to Fenwick and point out their qualifications to the junior and senior classes. Another class departed, but a much larger one entered to take its place. The Wick started the new year off by receiving its membership in the C.S.P.A., the Catholic School Press Association. Then the Religion Department took the lead by having the students march in the Legion of Decency parade and by inaugurating the Religious Bulletin under the guidance of Father L. Nugent, O.P. The first Alumni dance was held that year shortly before Fenwick graduated the largest class in its history to date. The next school year, that of 1935-36, was for the greater part uneventful. The Wick, which was steadily gaining prominence, was awarded first class honor rating. Late in the first semester a New Zealand Bishop, Bishop Liston, honored Fenwick by a visit while on a tour of the United States. lt was not until the second semester, however, that the students of Fenwick received their greatest surprise, the Reverend Leo Gainor, their beloved principal and founder, was to leave. He was succeeded as head of Fenwick by the Reverend Jordan Baeszler, O. P. lt was in this year, also that a Dramatic Club was formed under the direction of Father E. A. McDermott, O. P., and a Debating Union under the guidance of Father G. G. Conway, O. P. And now began the most successful year in Fenwick's history, a year darkened only by the death of Father Daley, a member of the faculty. The Wick plunged ahead by gaining an exclusive interview with Al Smith. The football team climbed to fame with an undefeated team and finally put away their pigskin after capturing the West Section title, the Catholic League title, and tying Austin for the co-championship of the City of Chicago. Another milestone was passed on the road to success when the Midnight Show surpassed all expectations. The basket- ball team came next and entered the season as just another team, but finished Champions of the United States. The debating team also covered itself with glory by winning the First Annual Tournament held at St. Mary's College, Winona, Minnesota. This year brought also the first student excursion to Washington, D. C., and the beginning of the annual St. Thomas Aquinas Symposium. Once again the three months of vacation rolled byg the doors of Fenwick swung open, and another chapter of history began. The return- ing students found one hundred and eighty-five new freshman faces, many changes in the faculty, a woman librarian, and an extra half hour of school. During the second semester Fenwick again witnessed a change of principals. This time Father Baeszler was succeeded by the Reverend William A. Fincel, O.P., who had served as biology teacher at Fenwick for eight years. But Fenwick was again saddened, for late in the year its hard-working band director, Mr. A. J. Prochaska, died. And so now we come to this, the last year of the glorious decade. We started off minus one member of the senior class, Harold Rempe, who was killed in an automobile accident during the summer. The fresh- man enrollment once again broke all records. The football team captured the North Section title. Father Graham, Fenwick's vocational director, was appointed National Director of the Holy Name Society. Marve Adams left Fenwick to take over the coaching duties at St. Phillip's. The Wick was rated All-American, for the first time in the school's history, and a chapter of the National Honor Society was formed. Thus we close the final chapter of Fenwick's ten year history with a fitting climax to a span of time which has seen Fenwick develop from an empty lot on Washington Boulevard to the great institution of learn- ing it is today. History of Athletics at Fenwick Ten years ago Tony Lawless, a local, professional football player, was secured as coach for our newly founded high school. Since then, the word Athletics has been synonymous with the name Lawless here at Fenwick. Tony, a graduate of Loyola University, where he starred in several sports, was admirably fitted to mold Fenwick boys into Fenwick men. Coach Lawless's task was not an easy one. His call for athletics brought willing, but inexperienced, candidates. He molded these early aspirants into teams which, while they won no championships, commanded respect and admiration for the name of Fenwick. During these, Fenwick's first year, some of her athletes were to carve their names in the Hall of Fame as Fenwick's famous firsts. These men were: RED THOMPSON led the first Fenwick football team KAY WALSH scored the first touchdown and kicked the extra point ED O'BRIEiN made first down JOE GORA made the first free throw for the basketball team JIMMY COLE scored the first basket This same year of 1929 also saw the foundation of Fenwick's noted intramural system. This system has grown through the interest of the students and the guidance of Coach Lawless until it now includes a large variety of sports. For several years Fenwick turned out good teams but never .quite managed to seize a championship until 1933. That year a great football team won the West Section title. They were defeated by an inspired Loyola team led by the famous McCarthy. The Friars demonstrated a master defense but were overcome 13 to 0. In the latter part of the same year the Black and White came up with another championship team. This time it was the Tankmen who swam off with the Catholic title. This victory started an era of success which has made Fenwick's swimming teams famous. Catholic League swimming titles were also won in 1934-'35-'36-'38 and again this year. It would be impossible to select individuals as stars who studded these teams. Much of the credit for these marvelous achievements is due to Dick Thompson, our world-famous coach, who has worked loyally to produce winning teams. In the St. George pre-season basketball tournament of 1935, Fenwick's team gave notice that it was in search of glory. The Friar five took fourth place, being nosed out by St. Mel's the eventual champion. In the latter part of the season the team was invited to participate in the Illinois State Catholic Basketball Tournament at Decatur, Illinois. After a tight first round game against Rout of Jacksonville The Oak Parkers coasted to the title. Not content, the victors sought spoils in the famous Loyola tourna- ment. Disaster overtook them in the first round when Marmion, a team twice beaten in seasonal play, edged out a victory. Undaunted, the Friars went on to win the National Consolation Tournament, defeating Columbia of Dubuque, Iowa, in a breath-taking game in the finals. Ed Norris was named all-tournament center as a tribute to his stirring play. The year 1936 saw Fenwick's star soar higher than ever before in the field of athletics. In the fall a high-scoring football machine, boasting no individual stars but a team of stars, rode through a grueling section schedule without a defeat. The Black and White machine next rolled over a highly regarded St. Leo eleven, 27-O. The Friars were Catholic Champions of Chicago for the first time in their history. The title automatically gave them the honor of meeting Austin, the Public school champions, in Mayor Kelly's Benefit Game. The big Maroon eleven, led by the famous Bill DeCorrevont, were heavy pre-game favorites to smother a lighter Fenwick combination. The underdogs battled so fiercely, however, that Austin barely earned a tie in the closing minutes. The final score was 19-19. Fenwick's basketeers immediately revealed that they were out for their share of honors. Even before the start of the regular season they earned a trophy by taking fourth place in the St. George tournament. They next bowled over the best in their section with play that featured a combination of deadly coolness and accuracy. In the league champion- ship game the Friars were pitted against the formidable Catholic High of Joliet. True to their reputation Catholic High gave the Black and White quite a tussle but were overcome by a second half spurt of 31-26. Following this victory Fenwick received an invitation to participate in the coveted Loyola tournament. Playing the pick of the nation's teams, Fenwick gained the finals, only to meet her old rival, Catholic High. Another great game ensued, the Friars being victorious this time by the narrow margin of 30-27. As a result of the ability they displayed during the tournament, Don Kruger was named all-tournament and Larry Ryan was awarded the trophy as the most valuable man to his team. Still with all these victories the class of '37 was not satisfied. A team composed of Kruger, Ryan, Gustainis, and Marquardt, won the 880 yd. relay in the Catholic League Meet. The time was 1 :33 :4. The following year Fenwick again turned out another of the teams for which she is becoming noted. The Friar eleven defeated all its early opponents to meet a powerful St. George aggregation for the section title. Twice these two teams played bruising tie games. A coin was finally tossed to decide the issue and Fenwick was unlucky. This loss did not, however, deprive the players of the title of North Section Champions. In the spring the trackmen took up where the football team left off. A relay team composed of Kruger, Thomas, Collins, and Maloney took the championship in this event. A little .less than a year ago one of Fenwick's greatest, Frank Gustainis, was given the highest reward possible. Gus was chosen by the Lord to play on His immortal eleven. In keeping with the past Fenwickls fighting Friars again this year marched off the field with the North-side Catholic Championship. A more complete account is given elsewhere in this volume.
