The spectacular manner in which Kathleen and Kenneth were united and found their happiness rose to a gripping climax: Moonyeen had come Smilin' Through, as she promised. As the curtain fell, the burst of applause proved that the dra- matic ability of the east under the able direction of Miss Mary Dowd had brought another success to The Catholic High School.

HE football training started out this year with a line turnout of sixty boys for early squad work. With his ability to recognize outstanding qualities and with his watchful, experienced eye, Coach Ralph Farina made the best use of this material, as the seasonis record proved. This year's team was powerful in every respect. The line, under the guidance of its reliable captain, Frank Sinkovitz, was flawless in coordination and teamwork. The backheld, a speedy crew with one hundred percent drive and spirit, proved their worth tremendously as the season progressed. It was with this set of fellows that Ralph Farina started and continued through the schedule which charted only one loss. The boys opened the season on McDevitt Field with a victory over Mauch Chunk Catholic High by the score of 25fO. Although our team was superior, especially in aerial work, nevertheless the Mauch Chunk eleven gave the locals a battle in scrimmaging. At last!!! For the first time in the eight years of competition between the two schools, the Crusaders, on September 20, hnally reduced the mighty Penn Tiger to a kitten. It was in the very last play of the game that Johnny Russ snagged a pass over the goal and chalked up the Crusaders' only victory over them with a score of 6fO. Displaying unusual power, the Crusaders marched on to an 18eO win over Hershey lndustrial School, September 26, for the third consecutive victory. Russ, Easton, and Tezak took all scoring honors in this game, with a touchdown apiece. Hershey was a light team and not quite strong enough. On October 4, Hve thousand people saw C. H. S.'s goal invaded for the first time this season when Lewistown managed to sneak over for a score, but Catholic held them for the rest of the game. Brilliant playing, led by Ben Russ and Eddie Trees, accounted for our touchdowns and a 1947 victory. Here's the fly in the soup. . . On October 12, the .lohn Harris Crimson Tide absolutely drowned the Crusaders. Nine thousand fans saw Pletz of Harris prowl all over the place to score touchdown PAGE 66
