MEMORIES e m o r i e s TWO MEMORIES--- NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY PUBLISHED BY The Senior Class Johnstown Catholic High School Johnstown, Pennsylvania Volume Fifteen FOREWORD Once again are our “Memories” made concrete; therefore, if we so desire, our tomorrow may become to- day. By leafing through pages on which are shrined people and scenes dear to our hearts, may cherished memories glow with an increase in warmth and affection. MEMORIES DEDICATION It is to the revered memory of Father Demetrius Gallitzin, prince, priest and pioneer, that we dedicate this fifteenth volume of “Memories”. By doing this, we hope to further the effort that is suggested by the diocesan slogan: Make Gallitzin, Prince, Priest. Better Known. We also wish to give grateful recognition to that heroic spirit of sacrifice which, in some measure, paid the price for our precious heritage, the Catholic Faith—that spirit which caused him to live and die a devoted Catholic missionary in the wilds of the Alleghan- ies in Pennsylvania. Although a century has passed since his feet walked these mountains preaching the gospel of peace, we may say of Father Gallitzin : He being dead, yet speaketh. Is it not to Father Gallit- zin that our first thanks should go for the blessing of a true Catholic FOUR MEMORIES' Education? For when Johns- town was but a small village, Kickanapolin, the Indians call- ed it, the great-great-grand- fathers and the great-great- grandmothers of some of us did not find it too much of a hardship to walk to Loretto to be present for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the church erected by this no- ble priest, for a number of years the only house of God from Lancaster to St. Louis. Thus, through the generosity of this unworldly prince, our forefathers were able to practice their relig- ion and to hand down to us the blessings which are the sequence of holding fast the faith. In the practice of our religion which demands the virtues of the motto chosen by the class of ’40: Courage, Truth, Loyalty, may we fulfill the prayer of the Apostle of the Alleghanies: With God’s help, let us keep the moral atmosphere as fresh and as invigorating as the air of our mountains.

LOYALTY-------------The noblest word in the category of social virtues is Loyalty. SEVEN MEMORIES REV. THOMAS CAWLEY Principal PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE There is something impressive in loyalty. There is something inspiring in zeal. There is something divine in martyrdom . In the history of the Church, many pages are illuminated by shining ex- amples of zeal, of loyalty, of martyrdom. Martyrdom, as you know, is dying for the Faith. Martyrs go firth to death because they believe, not necessarily because they understand. If complete understanding were necessary at all times, there is none of us that would be saved. Understanding often strengthens faith, it is true, but it is also true that the highest type of faith is that which stands firm when understanding is missing. And this applies, not only to our relationship with God, but also to human relationships. This is the lesson that 1 would commend to your earnest consideration_____ the lesson of faith and trust and loyalty. Be loyal, first of all, to God. But be loyal also to your faith. And be loyal to your Alma Mater. Down through the years Catholic High will need you. Her welfare will depend upon youi interest and' loyalty and zeal. Do not wait until she calls you. Anticipate her needs, and seek out ways of satisfying them. And please bear this in mind always: If you are really grateful for what Catholic High has done for you, you will be zealous and loyal and generous, not only when you understand or approve her decisions and decrees, but also, and chiefly, in a sense, when you do not un- derstand, and when you may be inclined to disapprove. “Because thou hast seen Me, Thomas, thou hast believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and have believed.” eigi ■ MEMORIES REVEREND JAMES FITZGIBBOX Professor of French and Dramatics REVEREND JOHN O’LEARY Professor of Religion OUR PRIESTS What shall we ask for them who bring us Thee? Lord, it is this: that always they may be More gracious than the dusk, which to be shriven Kneels to the evening star; more peaceful still Than any austere dawn to which is given The passing of a soul. Be World and Will And Hope to them,—lest they be comfortless, Seeing Thy splendor, blind to their own light; Grant to them echoes of her loveliness Who clasps them as a shield against the night. This we do pray, through them ve have adored The glory of Thy dwelling place, O Lord.

With true paren- tal instinct you have guided us always toward greater good. By your unceasing efforts, our steps have advanced upward until now we have attained the desired plane of Seniorhood and await eagerly the adventures which lie in the world before us. We shall always remember the kindness, self-sacrifice and zeal of you, our preceptors.

OUR GARDEN OK MEMORIES' OUR GARDEN OF MEMORIES PART I 1936-1937 A distant clock chimed nine times as we entered the portals of the school which was destined to provide us with so many beautiful memor- ies—memories which resembled exquisite flowers that would shed the:r fragrance at any time to those who jv'shed to recapture it. Little did we eager “Freshies” realize, as we timidly stepped into Johnstown Cath- olic High School, that our school life would be a garden of the choicest blooms of knowledge and social activities. Neither did we know that we would be led through this garden by the kindest of guides wisely telling us which flowers we should merely admire and which we should pluck and make our own. All this we were soon to learn. Scarcely had we entered our garden when we spied a huge patch of select flowers growing in the center. Full of awe we gathered a few of those abundant flowers. How strange was their scent! This one was called Latin; that one mysterious Ancient History. Here was puzzling Algebra; there, enriching English. Strangely each bloom whose aroma was a source of delight made us more intellectual. A glorious different feeling swept over us. More than ever we Fresh- men were determined to learn everything possible about them. Meanwhile our searching minds were relieved by a bit of gaiety. Following the sounds of merriment we took part in the Annual Sodality Hallowe’en Party. Soon we witnessed a hilarious production, “Noth- ing But the Truth’’, presented by the Alumni players. Later, we en- joyed them in “This Just Man” and the Seniors in “Three Strikes, You’re Out”. Soon, clearly and sweetly came our Almighty Gardener’s request: “Come and pray with Me awhile”. We willingly obeyed and found our souls made as spotlessly white as lilies by His cleansing grace. Saintly Father Delaney was our capable guide as we enjoyed our first retreat in our newly erected auditorium chapel. All too soon we saw the first phase of our exploring end. Sadlv each bid his adieu and went forth to enjoy his vacation days. But al' looked forward to returning soon. OUR GARDEN OF MEMORIES' PART II 1937-1938 As our Almighty Gardener was painting the leaves with golden brown tints we again entered the gates to continue our studies and our fun. Once more we returned to renew our friendships with teachers and students. Amusingly we saw the new faces of timid Freshmen hesitantly following us through our magic garden. We were now Sophomores but still as eager and anxious as before. Now even more interested we proudly saw our football and bas- ketball teams being crowned with laurels of victory. Particularly did we glow with reasonable pride as our basketball team won the State Championship. We were glad to call it “our team”. Not only in the world of sports did we gain renown, but also in the world of drama. For the Alumni scored unsurpassable successes in “The Bat”, “Smilin’ Through” and “Behold the Man”. Our own stu- dents chimed in with a delightful cantata “Christmas Through the Ages” and an operetta “All At Sea”. Again we heard our Almighty Gardener's voice bidding us: “Come, follow Me”. Gratefully we did so. Led by pious Father Hart, S. C., we made our second holy retreat. The second part of our journeying ended abruptly. Once more we set out to enjoy a vacation after having gathered the more luxuriant flowers of Caesar’s Gallic Wars, Geometry and French. Each prom- ised to return. PART III 1938-1939 The sun shone brilliantly as we started the third phase of wander- ing through our garden of magic flowers. Finally we were those long- desired Juniors. As such we were given special privileges never be- fore enjoyed. Being wiser now we were permitted to choose between an academic and a commercial course. Now also we were permitted to join in the school dancing, a permission we enjoyed ever so much. With such privileges we looked forward to one of the best parts of our journey. OUR GARDEN OF MEMORIES' The flower of knowledge offered even more delicious fragrance to us now. We examined Cicero’s Orations, the Sciences, Typing and Shorthand. Each one contributed to our higher learning. We began studying much but again refreshing alleviations were offered to our minds. As usual the Alumni came forth with superb triumphs, which that time were “The Big Pond” and “Howdy Stranger.” Following them were the singing students with their “Heart of Christmas’ and “Swords and Scissors”, and the Seniors with their “Very Untruly Yours”. A very unique program was also presented. That program was titled “Talent Night” for it gave to the students who had talent their opportunity to show it. Then we all joined together in an effort to make the Annual Sodality Bazaar the great success that it was. Opportunity again called us forth to follow our Divine Gardener’s invitation to unburden our “thorn-pricked” hearts and to cure our “poison-ivied” souls. Virtuous Father Gerard, O. S. B. helped us make our third retreat. Having fulfilled all the necessary requirements we were promoted to the glorious rank of Seniors. Vacation days, you cannot pass toe swiftly! PART IV 1939-1940 Spring departed long before we returned but still we had “spring in our hearts” for now we were Seniors. Filled with great joy we proudly stepped through the welcoming gates. It was not because being Seniors meant the end of our high school life—oh, no— but rather because it meant the accomplishment of a hard-worked-for goal. We stood prepared to make this final year our best. Our garden of knowledge has increased its variety of flowers. Each flower was so infinitely profitable to us that we know not which ones to pick. There was the enchanting Aeneid of Virgil, Physics, and Bookkeeping. Each gathered his choice and started on his way. In his goodness the Almighty Gardener decided to give us His great gift of grace early that year to help us on our way. Consequently we made our fourth retreat before Thanksgiving with delightful Father McDermott as our guide. THIRTY-ONE OUR GARDEN OF MEMORIES' Ever welcome the Alumni again honored us with one of their many successful comedies, “The Nervous Wreck”. Soon afterwards they presented the most dramatic and inspiring production in their ex- istence, “The First Legion”. “The Spirit of Christmas”, a cantata, was then presented by the student chorus, with a delightful operetta, “Top o’ the World”, soon afterwards. We Seniors, too, showed our dramatic ability by presenting our class play. And every once in a while the sweet strains of music could be heard which told one that the students were enjoying one of their five annual dances. A new patch of flowers of opportunity sprung up in our Senior year. All with ability in art, composition work, and oratory were in- vited to “make Prince Gallitzin better known” by celebrating the hun- dredth anniversary of his death. Those with dramatic ability took part in the Gallitzin Pageant. Many coveted prizes were won by de- serving students. Laurel wreaths of victory again were placed on the heads of our basketball players. We again won the State Championship! Ah, vic- tory is, indeed, sweet. May a future Class Historian be privileged to record that the Bishop Hafey Trophy is the permanent possession of Catholic High School. Reluctantly we were forced to close the gates on our high school career. But never will our Garden of Memories wither. Each flower will always be fresh and green in our minds. And as we are standing at the brink of our future in the great world we are sincerely hoping that we will grow as God meant us to grow—until He gathers us into His garden,for; The garden of God is a radiant place. Where every flower has a holy face; And Our Lady like a lily bends above the cloudy sod, And Saint Michael is the thorn on the rose bush of God; When David is the song upon God’s lips, And Our Lady, the goblet that He sips; Where Gabriel’s the breath of His command. And Saint Michael, the sword in God’s right hand. THIRTY TilUKK MEMORIES CANDID SNAPS MEMORIES THE HERALD VOL.

To every Junior—girl and boy. It may be a virtue—perhaps a pretty face, It maybe curly hair to be kept in place, Then, too, you may get generosity or skills, Or youi-s may be health, but never ills. Whatever it is that we give to you, Remember we mean it for our love is true; We want you to try as we earnestly did To come through smiling with nary a skid. Dick Martin has decided to give Frank Zupon his curly hair. May Janey Griffith’s love of pickles be eagerly eaten up by Betty Hankinson. To Gordon Adams, Mick Minahan gives his hearty “five and ten-cent” laugh. Jack Burke bequeaths his untiring manage- ment of the basketball and football squads to Jack Pfeister. Cherry Schry’s unsurpassed neatness is given to lovely Dorothy Gradwohl. Charles Mullen gives his daily one-block journ- ey home for dinner to Jim Weakland.

The initiative and reliability of our Vice- President, Dot Kirchner, is handed down to her successor. To Gig Bishop, Moose Marshall wills that nice German haircut of his. Kathleen McGuirk leaves her funloving mis- chief to happy Helene Ruth. Catholic High will not be the same without the cheery smile and charming personality of “Petite” Little, but the task to “carry on” as best she can is given to Eleanor Kleman.

Jim McMuilen just won’t give up his farming and trapping ability because he intends to pursue these occupations. That lady-like voice of John Sagerson goes to Pat Murton. Tinky Kamler’s size 12 football shoes will probably go to the young fellow who could not play last year because there was only one pair of shoes that size. Dot Mabon leaves her post as “chief librarian” to any Junior whom Sister may appoint. The perpetual friendship of Jo Cernuto and Janie Hoover will be seen next year by the inseparable Leona F.arabaugh and Dot Bar- clay.

These six Seniors—Dot Burns, Eleanor Utecall, Norma Schmidt, Marion Sunseri, Evelyn Trexler, Marion Getz, wish the fu- ture Seniors the best of success in every line. May the orchestra duties of Betty Marshall be faithfully carried on by Dolores Frick. May the cracking of Anna M. Burkardt’s gum resound in more moderate tones in that of Dot Gradwohl. Leona Farabaugh will inherit Leona Snyder’s skill in basketball. Thunder Churella’s unfailing accent falls to the diction of John Petruska. Helen Revaj leaves her chewing gum to some energetic Junior. Rain or shine, the daily walk at noon-time taken by Madeleine McCabe and Eileen McMillen will be cheerfully taken up by- Betty Hankinson and Leanor Cortez. Joe Istvan, Bill Webb, Bob Weiner, and Tinky Kamler’s daily practice of playing pinochle during lunch time will go to any four Jun- iors capable of holding down the job.

Earl Griffith and Bernard Berkebile leave their perpetual companionship to Jim Ka- tensky and Mike Mitrus. Pauline Bartos leaves her witty jokes and her dancing feet to Frances Murton. Irma Griacs leaves her few inches of her height to Betty Crossen.

FORTY THKKK THE CLASS WILL Mary Louise Dailey’s initiative is bestowed upon Helen Venglarchik. Mary Klug’s sunny disposition is given to Elizabeth Murton. lhat beautiful blond hair of Jim Hyland will be twice as beautiful when he inherits that of John Cullis.

What liberty , A loosened spirit brings. —Emily Dickinson The habit of reading is a foolproof insurance policy, making possible continuous and assured pleasure, notwithstanding what the circumstances of one’s life may be. Many of our students have possessed them- selves of this policy and are already reaping precious dividends. Because of the interest and generosity of mnnv friends throughout the city, likewise of our faculty and student body, the library had this year a notable expansion. Floral decorations and plate glass for the tables have enhanced somewhat its external appearance. We are grateful for the services of a faithful alumna. Julia Connelly, who made it possible for the students to use the library at times when they could not otherwise have had the privilege. The following seniors were happy in their service to the students for the past three years: Josephine Cernuto Dorothy Mabon Martha Vance Irma Griacs Mary K. Schonhardt Dorothy White Mary Klug Ella Marie Sweeney Virginia Zuby Hortanse Reektenwald The following Junior Class members also have been willing helpers for the past two years: Mary G.

We, of Johnstown Catholic High School, entered into the celebration with great enthusiasm. Dur- ing this week two contests held the interest of the students. One was a poster contest, the other a crossword puzzle contest. The posters of the students were hung artistically in the halls. On the last day of the celebration the posters were transferred to the auditorium for public recognition. Here, a display of new books and pamphlets was arranged for everyone to examine. Many Scrap Kooks were added to the exhibtion. Very prominent among these were Father Cawley’s “Gem Books”. These represent a harvest of twenty years of the best in literature. The program given in the auditorium was in the form of a radio pro- gram. It was given as follows: Radio Broadcast from Station J. C. H. S.

MEMORIES SODALITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN “My soul doth magnify the Lord And my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my Savior” Softly these words came from the stainless and immaculate heart of Mary. This pure heart was the spotless Tabernacle of the Holy Ghost, the earthly resting place of the sacred and divine Heart of Jesus. It is comforting and inspiring to us, the girls of the Sodality, to pay tribute to our Immaculate Mother. She is the perfect model for girls. Each year, since its affiliation in 1934, we have endeavored to make the Sodal- ity more perfect. For the third time in its history it can boast of one hundred per cent membership. In accordance with rules set forth in 1934 by the Prima Primaria in Rome. 1. The Sodalist is bound to imitate, love and serve Our Blessed Lady. 2. The Sodalist is bound to be loyal to Christ, especially in the Blessed Sacrament. 3. The Sodalist is bound to be faithful to her Church and to work, according to her ability, for the spread of that Church. 4. The Sodalist is bound to work, according to her abilities and her opportunities, for the salvation of others. We have the spiritual activities of former years, namely, the monthly meeting, Holy Communion, Masses, the Eucharistic Committee and Our Lady’s Committee. Our subscriptions to the Queen’s Work and the Pamphlet Guild have increased Through the efforts of Mary Boes, Prefect of the 1938-1939 Sodality, and to the perse- verance of this year’s Prefect, Martha Vance, we have gained publicity in the Queen’s Work. “The Sodalite” also has advanced since its establishment last year. May Day was, as always, the day of days for the Sodality, because on that day, Mary, our pat- roness, was crowned Queen. We have many social events for which the Sodality is noted. Previous experi- ence in the functions of the Sodality helped to promote perfect harmony. Our Hal- lowe’en Party, our monthly programs, and last, but not least, the annual bazaar were memorable events. Each year, it seems, this bazaar is bigger and better. This is only possible by cooperation from all participants. The officers elected for the year were: PREFECT, Martha Vance VICE-PREFECT, Mary Kathryn Schonhardt SECRETARY-TREASURER, Kathryn Ludwig MEMORIES - THE SODALITE Each forthcoming year brings new crowns and glories to the Sodality of Catholic High. One of its many out- standing achievements this year is the publication of its new and better So- dalite. This paper published month- ly inspires its readers to become bet- ter children of Mary, and to come clos- er to Christ through the work of Our Lady. It also keeps them informed about the principal Sodality activities. All this is accomplished through the able support of our three ace report- ers, Anna Marie Burkardt, Kathryn Ludwig and Irene Shopp. Our poet and prefect, Martha Vance, also gave worthy contributions. Worthwhile and lasting impressions are left on our mind after reading such gems as: Keep Christ in your hearts! Keep Christ before your eyes! Keep Christlike in your daily actions. Love the good things of life. The only way to conquer the world is to be kinder to people than they ex- pect.

Co-Editors Geraldine Schry Jane Griffith The Son of Mary never forgot that the first and great influence in His life was the influence of His mother, and He brought to every woman that tenderness and gentle- ness which every good son of every good mother feels toward womanhood. His treatment of them is part payment of His debt to His mother. Daniel A. Lord, S. J. Domina Angelorum Michael no more leads the heavenly hosts, (strong silver warrior armed with the lightning’s sword) Michael no more leads the forces of God; Not Michael now but Mary. Star-crowned, Moon-shod, Brilliant with legions of light massed behind her, Mary comes forth with no weapon but a single Word, and the hordes of hell swarm up for the last battle. 'FIFTY TIIHKK' MEMORIES Now with sweet song and festive celebration Call we to mind the joys of God’s great Mother; Now may that Maiden aid us, that we Reach the joys of pure living. Poets of every age have honored Mary as the Queen of Joy, for “joyousness of heart is a never failing source of holiness.” And it was with this “joyousness of heart” that the Sodalists of Catholic High School paid a significant tribute to Mary, “Cause of Our Joy,” on May seventeenth, only, for it was on this day that the annual May Crowning took place. This year Marcella Bremer received the distinctive honor of being chosen the May Queen. Her attendants were Eleanor Krueger and Helen Tomkosky. The Crown-bearers were Agnes Burns and Irene Little; Train-bearer, Margaret Vigna ; Marshall, Martha Vance. After the May Queen was crowned by Father Cawley, she offered the “third crown” to Mary, already crowned by the Almighty—once with her queenly diadem of stars, again with the woeful corona of her desolation: Thou wert crowned, O Queen, with stars From eternity In the Almighty’s thought! Crowned, O stricken Queen, with woe ’Neath the bloodstained Tree Which our ransom bought Weave we now with prayers and flowers Culled from heart’s white-blossomed bowers, A crown for thee in courts above— A coronal, O Queen, of love! In an address, which brought the pictorial ceremony to a close, Father Cawley re- quested the Sodalists to remember always that Mary is the universal Mother; that her chil- dren can glory in nothing, can suffer nothing that does not find its parallel in her life; that she has a joy for our every joy; that she knows sorrow as none of us ever becomes acquaint- ed with it: that serenely on the heights, sympathetically in the depths there falls her quiet voice, I have been, my child, over all the way.” KIKTY-KOCK MEMORIES THE LITTLE FLOWER MISSION UNIT That the preservation and promotion of Christianity in the foreign mission countries is largely the responsibility of the Catholic People in the United States is clearly seen by the fact that everywhere missionaries are appealing to the Catholic American for prayers and funds to keep their work from being suspended. To this appeal the members of the Mission Society have responded generously. Each month a list of prayers and good works was submitted and sent to the foreign missions. Special sacrifices were assumed during Lent as students voluntarily gave up sweets and amusements that they might fill the miteboxes with coins to support the missions. Our Mission Society was honored by the following visitors: Nov. 17. Reverend Charles Dudine, O. S. B„ from New York, addressed the student body in behalf of “The Grail”—a magazine edited by the Benedictines at St. Meinrad, Indiana. Almost one hundred subscriptions were solicited in order to further Catholic Action by placing Catholic literature in the homes. Feb. 20. Reverend Father Powers, a Missionary from St. Columban, Silver Creek, New York, who spent years in active service in China, addressed and enter- tained the students with his stories and moving pictures. The picture of Father Damien was particularly interesting. We are most grateful to all who cooperated in making this a happy and successful Mission Year.

The exercises this year were conducted by Father McDermott, C. F. It was inspiring to see the students at Mass and at prayer in our auditorium which was again converted into a beautiful chapel. A spirit of sincerity reigned during these days, and each student tried his best to be able to say when it was over. “I live now, not I, but Christ liveth in me”. Father McDermott's conferences will long be remembered by all the students. Thus we “went back” and filled our minds with recollections of Christ, and on the last day. when the Papal Blessing was given, we Seniors had but one wish, that we might always be as we were at that moment, pure in soul, joyous in body, and strongly united to Jesus Christ, our Savior. MEMORIES THE BAND To the cheering strains of The Victory March our band marched on leaving behind another successful year of organization. As this year’s football team carries with it the honor of having one of the best records in the annals of the school, the band hopes that it, also shares in the re- flected glory of having done its best to urge them on to victory. The band improved noticeably under the direction of Mr. George Varmecky and Mr. John Varmecky, and the untiring efforts of our musical directors. Although most of our games were played when the weather was termed “decidedly wet,” this did not serve to dampen the spirit of the band, but rather gave added courage and ambition.

Lorditch Saxaphones Betty Grace Horner Kathryn Ludwig Kathleen Rodgers FIFTY-N INK MEMORIES THE THREE WALKING PRIESTS This picture with the accompanying article appeared by surprise in “The Johnstown Democrat” on January thirtieth and two weeks later in “The Register”, the diocesan paper. Three Catholic School Instructors Take Daily Walk Through 8th Ward They’re known as the “walking priests” to residents of the Eighth Ward, some of whom have been known to set their clocks by the three priests who walks their “beat” at the same hour each school day. The practice of taking a brisk walk was inaugurated four or five years ago and has continued without inter- ruption by this trio of priests sta- tioned at Catholic High School. The “itinerary” never varies, but with one exception. Fathers O’Leary Cawley and Fitzgibbon start in Frank- lin Street to the Eighth Ward Trans- fer, proceed out Valley Pike, out Central Avenue to Osborn Street and thence to the school to resume the afternoon session. If they are delayed in starting, the priests “cut” by walking up Lin- ton Street instead of taking what they call “the long way.” The “walking priests” have become such a fixture in the Eighth Ward that certain characteristics are well known to residents of that section. For instance: Father Cawley al- ways is in the middle and Father O’Leary walks on the “inside,” with Father Fitzgibbon on the curb side. I Another: If there are any papers or books to be carried. Father Caw- lev does the carrying, at least that’s what the neighbors have noticed. ••Observers” report a rather odd procedure when the trio meets with a “traffic situation” when approach- ing other pedestrians. In permitting others to pass on the sidewalk, the report goes. Father Cawley drops out of his middle position, Father Fitz- gibbon moves in and when the pedes- trians have passed,. Father Fitzgib- bon moves out and Father Cawley takes one or two strides and regains his position. What occurs when one of the “walking priests” is absent? The other two make the trip as usual. On rainy days they don raincoats for the walk. The severe cold of the last two weeks caused no interrup- tion. Two of the priests-—Fathers O’Leary and Cawley—are six-footers and Father Fitzgibbon is also of com- manding appearance. Together the “walking priests” are striking and familiar figures as they take their daily trip down Franklin, to Valley Pike, to Central Avenue, to Osborn, to school.

MEMORIES THE MONOGRAM CLUB The Monogram Club, which extends membership to football and basketball lettermen, managers and cheerleaders, enjoyed great success during the 1939-40 season. The first week of December was marked by much hilarity and enjoyment for most of the students, but not for the select few who withstood the torments of the older members and were received into the Club. On February 5, the Monogram Club held its sixth annual dance, which was again a huge success. Johnnie Mac’s Commanders furnished delightful music for the occasion.

C. H. S. The Crimson Crusher emerged from the toughest cage schedule ever drawn up at Catholic High with eighteen victories in twenty starts, and climaxed this splendid record by winning the State Catholic High School Championship. One of our losses, a two-point set-back at the hands of Conemaugh High, W. P. I. A. L. champion and runner-up for the public school championship of the state, was later avenged in grand fashion when our boys defeated this team by an overwhelming ten-point margin on their own floor. The only other loss was to a bigger and older St. Vincent Prep team. The 1940 Catholic High team was recognized as the outstanding quintet in Western Pennsylvania and was proclaimed equal to any high school team in the state. Besides the victory over Conemaugh, the Crimson registered a double win over Farrell, W. P. I. A. L. runner-up and state semi-finalist; and three times defeated St. Joseph High of Oil City, 1939 Catholic Champs. In the annual State Tournament at Williamsport, Catholic High triumphed over Har- risburg Catholic in the first round, Pittsburgh Central Catholic in the semi-finals, and cap- tured the Championship by defeating Oil Citv in the finals. By winning the title our war- riors acquired the second leg on the Bishop Hafey Trophy, which will be held permanently by the team winning the State Championship three times. Along with the temporary trophy we received a smaller permanent trophy, individual awards for the players and an official invitation to represent Pennsylvania in the National Tournament at Chicago. School officials and the players, however, thought it best to decline this invitation.

SKVKNTY MEMORIES JUNIOR VARSITY INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Under the expert supervision of Coach Randour, the Intramural League enjoyed a very successful season. The League was split into two sections,—the A Section consisting of the Senior and Junior Class teams; and the B Section, composed of the Freshmen and Sophomore teams. The senior team 200-B copped the championship in Section A, by winning both the first and second halves. Senior Room 98 came out second. The members of the 200-B team who received medals were as follows: Ber- kebile, Milazzo, Griffith, Quinn, Shopp. Hoy and Gallagher. Sophomore Division 202-A captured the first half title in Section B, while 201, also a sophomore team was returned the winner of the second half. In the playoff 201 was crowned the Section B Champ. The players of this team were: D. Gradwohl, Barber, Comiskey, Calpin, Boldin, and Deifenbach. JUNIOR HI SKVKNTY-OXE MEMORIES GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ACTiVITY The girls’ basketball team enjoyed a most active season under the able coaching of Miss “Jennie” Vuicic. A schedule of twelve games kept the members of the squad alert and enthusiastic. The first five games were decisive victories for Catholic High,—Junior College and Dale receiving two defeats and the local Night School, one. A reverse of fortune on February 29 gave to the Saint John Baptist High School girls of Pittsburgh a victory in the A encounter, though Johnstown merited the honors in the B struggle. Another visit from a Pittsburgh team, ihe Annunciation, resulted in a loss for our squad, by the close score of 17-15. Mount Aloysius Girls of Cresson found it more difficult to conquer Catholic High, as was evidenced by the home game score of 11-8, and by a 14-13 score in the return game. On April 11, our team journeyed to Pittsburgh to oppose Saint John Baptist. They returned with two victories: Catholic High 27 Saint Joh n Baptist J. V.

The setting is an old deserted mansion which is believed to be haunted. Don Cutter, a playwright, comes to this ancestral home to finish a play away from the bustle of New York. What happens in this mansion on “One Mad Night” convinces him that New York is not so bad after all. His hosts are an insane lot from a previously burned asylum. It is a spine-chilling and blood-curdling story supplemented with hilarious laughing moments from almost every member of the cast. Members of the cast include: Dor, Cutter—George Ludwig Wing—Leo Cole Priscilla—Mildred Piskurich Lady Macbeth—Dorothy White John Alden—Francis Thomas Mr. Hyde—Bernard Berkebile Dr. Bunn—James Rosenbaum Lucille Marcy—Marcella Bremer Mrs. Kluck—Martha Vance Gertrude Finch—Mary Nesbitt Mrs. Finch—Madeline McCabe Depression—Pauline Bartos Artemus Burke—Francis Bowen Danny Siletto—Roy Stammely ALUMNI PRODUCTIONS The Alumni Guild opened their dramatic season on November 5, 7, and 8 by presenting a comedy by Owen Davis, “The Nervous Wreck.” With several noted comedians in the cast, the play was a great success.

A stirring drama of the Society of Jesus, written by Emmet Lavery, the play moved its audience deeply. The all-male cast turned in excellent performances.
