From the time Saint Benedict of Monte Cassino, Italy, wrote the Holy Rule for the Order, Benedictine monks have taught the young, and used their influence and persuasion to draw them into manhood. It must have been thought of this that prompted Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to write in the guest book of Monte Cassino Abbey this stanza from The Psalm of life : Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. ilk if Il The life of a student at Saint Leo is filled with sig- nificance. Each day brings more work and additional goals to be met and achieved. It is, therefore, the purpose of this book to recreate memories of those days, that they may live always with the Saint Leo student and graduate. l Q :O IQ CONTENTS In the years far hence, when you pick up the 1949 lion to show to your grandchildren, you will see pic- tures of the graduating class in the first part. These were the under-cIassmen's idols. Then you will come to the Personalities , the Seniors, most athletic, most studious, and so on. These are not picked, but voted so by their fellow students. Activities is the next section, headed by classroom work depicted by photographs of class work, honor roll students, and boys working in science labs. Then we come to physical education, with the four maior sports in the leading role and showing action photographs of team play. Intramural tournaments between classes and contests between St. leo and other schools are held, but whatever phase of the game it be, the varsity vs. Centerville high, or Seniors vs. .lun- iors, it is the motive of every boy to show fair play with the will to win. Feature section presents snapshots of students in informal manner, and photographs of events through- out the year. The chronicle of the year, and Senior class prophecy and last will, or testament, are also contained in this section.

Then if, in the afternoon during study period, you were to walk about the campus, you would again see this man supervising the construction of the Saint Leo football bowl, and doing a great deal of the labor himself. During the recreational period, around three-thirty when students are exercising their brawn against one another on the gridiron, you would hear a familiar voice coming from the B squad field, and to your amazement, it is again this man whom you had en- countered so many times during the day. Yes, we are dedicating the Lion of 49 to Father Marion who is always, whether in the training of stu- dents mentally or physically, or in the betterment of the campus, working for us, the student body. :O IQ .. ffm' fnslrllvlors 253, vi V Y V . 4. 4' . 4 'I A B f.s'H'5T ef 11, Q N ' wT4 A'f?

Our Instructors When the student thinks of St. l.eo and recalls all the wonderful times he has had here, it is impossible to overlook his debt to the faculty. The faculty, the Benedictine Monks of St. Leo, are the religious who manage through work and prayer to give us our greatest gift in life, our Catholic education. When Saint Benedict founded his order and wrote his rule, he gave to the world a masterpiece of humility, obedience, and devotion, by which we profit. Our teachers give us a perfect example by following this rule. Besides their regular duties, many of them, through outside activities, make it possible for us to have our football, basketball, track, and baseball games, our rifle range, tennis courts and movies. Father Marion is the athletic director, while, with Mr. Donald Kreusch, Father Raphael is the band director and director of the choir. We, the student body, express to the nineteen active members of the faculty and oth- ers connected with the students' program our deepest gratitude for the wonderful Catholic ed- ucation that we have received here at St. Leo.

The class was born September 7, 1943, when seven boys started in the seventh grade. As to drop out, so out of the original seven only three are left. They are: John Dion, John Ware, and Eoghan Kelley. This class has twice defeated the other classes of the school in competition for the Brown Jug , an intramural basketball award, succeeding in its sophomore and senior years. Scholastic trophies, class pins, athletic trophies, awards in swimming, football, tennis, track, riflery, baseball, and band have been won by members of this Senior class. Last year's prom, believed one of the greatest ever held here, was produced by the Seniors of this year. The backbone and driving force of this year's varsity football team was the eleven seniors on the squad. It was their will to win that carried the 49 football squad to one of its greatest sea- the years flew by more boys came and a few had sons. WILLIAM F. BUCKLER Lebanon, Kentucky L Club l2l, Football l2l, Basketball ll lp Track lll, Baseball lll, Football Trophy lll, Intramural Basketball lil, Class Of- ficer l2lp Honor Court l2l, Honor Roll l3l, Choir ll l. Voted the most popular senior was Billy B , who in three years at St. Leo has distinguished himself in every way. On the gridiron he was captain of the football team for two years. He was a member of the first five in basketball. Although he was of the quiet sort, his words are always wel- comed, because of their wisdom. He was chosen president of both the Senior class and the L Club for that reason. As the leader of the class, Bill always seemed to find time to be of assistance to anyone. Many a chem problem has been solved by Bill's magic touch. Our appreciation for him both as a friend and an organizer, can't be shown enough in these few words. His scholastic record is one of which to be proud, as he always was in the running for honors. In future years we expect to see Bill making a name for himself. With his determination and ability to do things, it shouldn't be hard for him. NINETEEN THE LION 'I949 BRICE D. BERRY Nassau, BHIIHHIOS Choir l2l,Waiter l2l, Chronicle ll l. Brice has given the class something we won't forget. His God save the king! saying has made us remember that there are other people living in the world besides those in the United States. His gentlemanly ways made his presence always a pleas- ure Due to his cultured diplomacy he is considered the diplomat to be of the class. Although the tallest member, he has always seemed to be where he should be at the right time. Being the oldest member of the class hasn't hindered his pop- ularity. In fact, because of his age, his wisdom is sought and ap- preciated by all. Berry gave a lot of his time in helping Brother Albert in the infirmary, that is, when you were sick Brice usually saw to it that you were fed. So as Brice leaves for the fair islands of the Bahamas, we send our best wishes with him. HUGH I. CANNY, Ill Miami. Fla. L Club lily Football Manager lil, lntramural Basketball ll lg Sodality lllg Choir l I lg Track lil, Chronicle ll l. If being an egregious lawyer is any measure of success then Hugh can't help being a topnotcher. Whenever the boys are holding a gab session Hugh can be depended upon to enliven the proceedings with his witticisms. Hugh has been a member of the L Club, his lab as football manager entitling him to it. He played intramural basketball this past year and has cavorted on the cinder path. As business manager of the Chronicle, Hugh is well known in surrounding towns. His friendly attitude makes him a valuable ad- dition to any lab ln pursuing a law course Hugh presently plans to enter Flori- da, where we envision him as a high ranking student. Hugh has all the prerequisites of becoming an outstanding alumnus. Here's our wishes to you, Hugh, for a brilliant future. PAUL li. CANOVA Slarlec, Florida Intramural Basketball l2l, Honor Roll l2l, Band l2l, Baseball l2l . One of the bigger boys of the class, yet Paul has certainly shown a real example of a friendly disposition. When a dispute arose it was Paul who always was the mediator. While he was here never was he known to have spoken a harsh word against anyone. lt is little things like that which made us respect him so much. Paul has participated in intramurals, and was an asset to his class winning the class basketball tournament. He did not play a varsity sport because of ineligibility. lt's people like Paul that we expect to go somewhere. Our faith in him has been shown by his popularity among the students. ln his two years here he has shown that he intends to make good. The best of luck to you, Paul, and may you be as successful in after life as you were at Saint Leo. TWENTY 1949 .., .- 1. 1. 1, THE LION IOSEPII W.

To be frank, we don't know what we would have done this year without Joe. Always around when there is work to be done, he seems to be the first to pitch in and help. Even after he has done his share he keeps plugging. Working with him the past three years has been a pleasure. Joe has shown by his good work that he has all it takes to be a success in whatever he undertakes. With his friendly personality and Jacksonville good nature, he is a double help to others. This year Joe was very active in cheerleading and as a mem- ber of the Science Club. Nothing ever seemed to disturb him or get him upset. lt is going to be hard to forget a guy like Joe. I I. ROY DEE St. Petersburg, Florida Waiter l3l, Choir ll lg Honor Roll l2l, Annual Staff lll, Drama- tics ll l, Sodality ll l,Track ll l. lt's once in a lifetime you encounter as pleasant a guy as J. Roy . ln three years at St. Leo, J. Roy has displayed such good naturedness, that we doubt he is able to get angry. Honor roll lists are never complete here at St. Leo without J. Roy being mentioned. His quick mind, especially in the sciences, has made him a much sought after student when a physics or chemistry problem confronts his associates. J. Roy took part in track in no small measure, as he was a consistent scorer in the track meets. His tall figure could frequently be seen on the basketball court too, for long, lean Roy always gave his all for the class sake. He's a real classman, with a fine spirit that should carry him on through Notre Dame. Our prediction for J. Roy is success and more success in his post-college days. IOSEPH A. DEVLIN Clearwater, Florida Band l4l, Waiter l3l, Choir l4l, Annual Staff l2lp Rifle Team ll l, Dramatics l l lg Sodality Officer ll lg Head Waiter l l l. Joe, with his friendly smile, has always been considered the Chamber of Commerce for Saint Leo. Many a fearful lad has stepped upon the premises for the first time to find Joey , willing to give a helping hand. Never failing to-be on the iob, Joe with his ambitious nature has been admired. Nothing, no matter how big or small, ever went neglected by Joe when it had to be done. His personality is not to be found everywhere! The sin- cerity with which he did things is not to be forgotten. Whenever a dance or other important events came along, to him fell the iob of using his exceptional ability in art. For Joe we give these few words of advice: continue to show the same good spirit in life. There is a big future awaiting ahead.

Where there's activity, there's John Soupy Dion. No other student can boast the filled activity list Soup shows in his six years at St. Leo. As the editor of the annual, and its chief driving force, Soup deserves plaudits for his zealous labor. Longest in attendance, yet shortest in size, Soupy typifies the ideal student, for he holds honors in the classroom, in the student governing body, and on the athletic field. Soupy's sports schedule is one to be envied for he has been a first stringer in basketball and baseball for two years. Soupy has gained eight L's , having participated also in track and foot- ball. ln the classroom John also was out front, for he gained the scholastic trophy twice and the coveted class pin once.

His smallish stature has made him the butt of many iokes which he takes graciously, but with a prompt good natured retort. John has played in all four maior sports, besides being an active participant in swimming, and tennis, his outstanding game. The monitors were bestowed with a worthy member to their illustrious ranks when he became Monitor John in his iunior year. In this position John, or Red as we know him, has done a com- mendable iob in leading the youth of the school. Here's to Red , with our best wishes for the future! IOHN I. EGAN. IR.

Having the title of the most stu- dious senior hasn't seemed to bother Jack in the least. He has kept right on plugging, and who knows: he might win the class pin yet. From his Newport accent he is considered straight off Beacon Hill. But, really, Jack has made himself a regular guy among his classmates. Jack is always ready to tell you of his pastimes in the hub of the old society, Newport. 1 949 1' THE LION ALAN B. FIELDS Daytona Beach. Fla.

AIan's three years at St. Leo were truly eventful. His friendly smile was a common sight on the every day campus. His droll sayings got many a hearty laugh. A sports enthusiast, he played all sports, was sports editor of our annual, and, in general, might even have figured outa trig problem by football signals. Another of the men about town, Alan is said to have spent his time: one-third in bed, one-third in Dade City, and one-third at H. N. A., cheering up the Blue Birds . On the serious side, Alan's departure will leave many a brok- en heart lH. N. A.l, and his daily presence will be missed here. To him we say: Good luck, and happy hunting at F. S. U. IOSEPH FUERST San Antonio, Florida Honor Roll l l l. Joe is another day hop from San Antonio, and St. Leo's ver- sion of the Thin Man. But this slim figure in no way impedes Joe's slate of activities. Joe finds plenty to do in his spare time. He is a strong addict of the baseball games not only as a spectator, but as a member of San Ann independent organizations. As friendly as they come, .loe is popular among his classmates. Quiet and unassuming in the classroom, yet Joe takes a front seat in studies. No matter what position you assume in later life, Joe, we see a prosperous future there for you! CARL GUDE San Antonio, Florida Honor Court l2l . Carl is a day student who possesses an industrious mind. He does a variety of things well. He has attained excellent marks in his four years here and his nimble mind should carry him a long way in future years. Baseball occupies much of his extra time. ln his tenure at St. Leo, Carl has exhibited a forte in science studies, and it's a mat- ter of time until Carl reaches the pinnacle of success, with that scientific interest of his!

He has made quite a scholastic record, not once failing to make the honor roll during his stay. Also, he did his part when athletics came around, whether varsity football or intramural sports.

Voted the wittiest person of the class was our boy, Ray-Ray. No person could have lived up to this title better than he. Because of his devilish pranks he gave many a student a wholesome laugh. With his iolly attitude on life, he isn't expected to encounter many hardships which he can't overcome by his gift of gab and bluff. On the serious side, there was nothing too big or too small for him to handle. With his fine scholastic record he proved an outstanding student. He showed the same results on the track team and in the intramural sports. In his three years at St. Leo he always had a good word for everyone, one of the many reasons for his popularity among the students. His ability to be the life of the party is only one of his many fine traits. Ray is indeed a credit to St. Leo. IAMES T.

Tiny is an exceptional person. His name suggests someone rather small. In this case he doesn't live up to his nickname. He is the biggest member of the class, and one of the most popular. As a monitor, Tiny has certain duties which he must per- form, one of these being, waking up sleepy Senior Alley at 6:30 in the morning. At that time he is probably the most unpopular person in the school. lt's a wonder his big body hasn't been the obiect of a few alarm clocks. But seriously, Tiny's efforts have been really appreciated. Way up there in Senior Alley nobody ever seemed to hear the bells in the morning, so Tiny was a human alarm clock. In sports he stood out in basketball, as he played center on this year's team. Because of his always friendly attitude and good sportsmanship, he won't be forgotten for a long time.

Just ask the trig class or the physics students about it. While here, Eoghan developed his extraordinary ability in music by his performance back in soprano days and during the last three years, as a featured trombone and trumpet soloist with the St. Leo Stardusters .

BiII's rare attitude on life explains how a person can possess the good qualities he does. He has proven worthy of all the credit given him. From him we have learned that patience pays. He hardly ever makes a decision before deliberating on it. Bill, we say, Thanks 5 you have given us a good example to follow. Bill has been a prominent member of all activities during his four year term at St. Leo, especially in undertaking the position as head cheerleader. He was voted by his schoolmates the most likely senior to succeed, showing that he has the ability to excel. For the past two years he was the treasurer of the class, in which he did a fine iob. No need to worry about Bill, he has 1 shown that he has the know how and the ability to handle 1 problems. TWENTY-FIVE THE LION - L..

Although John is one of the quieter members of the class, this has never interfered with his popularity among the students. It is a common belief that John follows the old saying, Speech is silver, silence is golden . Always the ambitious type, he has played all athletics, among them varsity football. Since he has been such an important part of the class for the past five years, it is generally agreed that he and his vivid imagination will surely be missed.

Alan, with his unnoticed way of getting things done and al- ways being helpful, will be remembered by everyone as a true friend. His three years here have shown that a person of his na- ture can get along anytime with anyone. Active in athletics, he played on this year's football team as a lineman, and proved a very valuable player. With his Kentucky constitution and his school spirit, he was admired for both sincerity and initiative. And, we'll all remember those tales about his gal, Joan . Alan's ambition is to be head man of some big construction company, and if he continues to show the same zeal that he has at St. Leo, he should someday get there. Good luck, Alan, you can i be sure that you will always be remembered by all of us. IAMES O'NlfAL l Clearwater.

In foot- ball, Jas was selected a Little All-stater, in basketball he scored well over lO0 points and has been an outstanding member of the track and baseball teams. Jim was voted the school's outstanding athlete, and rightly so. Jim's been attending St. Leo for five years, during which he's been a student leader of high caliber, holding a monitor's position and an Honor Court membership. Choir and band have occupied much of Jim's time, and he avidly adds his voice to group singing. He plays a sweet trumpet which is only natural, since Jim is gifted with musical rhythm. His musical sense is with him on the dance floor, where he is a nifty f stepper. TWENTY-SIX I 949 Honor Roll l315 Intramural Basketball ll15 Cheerleader ll1.

Under his management the business has grown prosperous. Aside from the fact that his hair- cuts were unequalled on the campus, his sincere trust in people was a big asset in promoting his venture. Nor did he neglect his other duties. On this year's varsity football team, he played guard, and he proved active in class work during the year.

Johnny is the type of person that books could be written about. Six years here, a monitor two years, he has led one of the most eventful lives on the campus. His cheerful attitude on life and his optimistic personality makes him excelled by few. Although Johnny is leaving this year, his spirit won't be for- gotten. Admired and respected for his patience and humility, he is considered one of the more distinguished members of the class. This is due also to the active social life which he led here.

Remember those debates in sociology and problems of democracy, to learn more about our American government, social living and econo- mics?

This year, as before, the St. leo boys' choir hos further pushed its reputation throughout the state. Just before the Christmas holidays the choir, under the ioint direction of Father Raphael, O. S. B. and Donald Kreusch, music director, made recordings of Christmas carols. These recordings were then aired over nearby radio stations. The choir undertook in the spring the production of the light opera, The Pirates of Penzance performed on the campus. The girls' chorus and leads were enacted by Holy Nome Academy girls. The choir, consisting of approximately sixty boys has repertoire of about fifty songs. Originally the choir was started for the purpose of singing in accompaniment to the Sunday mass. Soon, however, under the able tutelage of Father Raphael and Mr. Kreusch, the choir was singing other pieces. Top. Christmas concert in abbey church. Bottom: Choir bays pose.

Culture? St. Leo has it, in music as well as in the classroom. On April 29, the combined choruses of St. Leo and Holy Name Academy presented the famous Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Pirates of Penzance , under the direction of Father Raphael, O. S. B., with the assistance of Mr. Donald Kreusch, and Sister Mary Grace, O. S. B. Mr. Kreusch furnished the accompaniment in his fine style on the organ. He also trained the individual male soloists in their work. Sister Mary Grace trained the girl chorus and leads. This light opera was staged in its original form, which required much more work than the usual high school version. There were fifty voices in the combined choruses. Twenty-tive boys made up the pirate and police choruses and twenty-five voices the chorus ot girls. The stage, built in only eight hours, is fifty feet long, twenty-seven feet wide and three feet high, and was built by Mr. Kreusch, John Donworth, Joseph Cothron, and other students, in the school gym. Mr. Richard Hecht, registrar and secretary, painted the scenery, which was well done. His assistant was Joe Devlin. Miss Bunny Bloodworth of Holy Name Academy played the part of Mabel. Miss Bloodworth has one of the finest soprano voices in this area. Miss Sylvia Matausch, who played the part of Ruth, sang beautifully her entire part. Jacqueline Fischesser, Mary Beaumont and Josephine Martin played the parts of Edith, Kate, and Isabel, respectively. Pat Murray thrilled the audience with his tenor voice in the lead role of Frederick. James Fitzgerald did equal iustice to the part of the pirate king with his fine baritone voice. No one will forget the splendid iob of comedy rendered by Joe Thomas in the humorous role of the maior- general. Jim Joyner played Samuel.

Informal dances play an important part in social life at St. Leo. Our own Stardusters , one of the more popular dance bands in the state, provide fine music for these entertainments. There is a good natured rivalry between the two upper classes, and this can readily be noticed in their dances. If the juniors happen to give an exceptionally successful dance the seniors imme- diately plan a bigger and better one. This al- ways provides the best in social events for St. Leo. The first dance of the year was held in early October. This was the first attempt for the iun- iors, and a good try it was, for this was one of the outstanding dances of the year. The senior class sponsored the next dance two weeks later, and it, too, was a great success, thanks to the hard work of all the class members. The athletic club, made up of those students who have earned a maior letter in any of the four maior sports, took the spot-light for the following dance. The traditional Christmas dance was or- ganized and put over by the wearers of the The iuniors, always on the lookout for a novel idea, gave a Shipwreck dance in mid-February, which turned outa huge success.

Practicing several hours every day the St. l.eo Stardusters have developed an orchestra which is one of the most popular within a lOO-mile ra- dius of the campus. Sporting one of the finest drummers in the state, Willie Pinder, the dance band in the past year booked almost twenty-five dances, including five iunior-senior proms in dif- ferent cities. A dance orchestra is a valuable addition to any school and this is how it started here: three years ago, Don Kreusch, the band master, a pro- fessional musfcian, decided to get a group to- gether and form a small orchestra out of the out- standing members of the band. lnvesting a few dollars in orchestrations the boys began practic- ing and soon were going out to prove themselves. Prove themselves they did! Their reputation was assured. Adding bit by bit to their orches- trations they have reached a repertoire of well over 200 arrangements. The Stardusters have a fine record behind them and boast repeat per- formances everywhere they have played. The orchestra's outstanding men are John Willie Pinder, drums, Eoghan Kelley, trumpet, Dan Hellman, alto saxophone, and Jim Joyner, tenor saxophone. Other members are: Larry Au- bry, alto saxophone, Robert Smith, John Meyer, and David Cady, trumpets, Jerry Jenkins, trom- bone, and Albert Robarge, bass. Starduslers climb aboard at shipwreck dance.

FlFlYfFOUR 1949 ' - '- THE LION REVIEWING TODAY St. Leo prides itself in the fine movies shown in the gymnasium on Saturday and Sunday nights. These pictures were shown in recent months by Kenneth Kincaid, Stanley McPhail, John Meyer and Raul Beruff, student operators. This year, the students were privileged to have the great screen attraction, Joan of Arc, featur- ing lngrid Bergman, on February eleventh. The equipment was originally given to the school by the Florida State Theatres, Inc., when the gymnasium was erected in l945. The St. Leo theatre provides opportunity for any boy who is interested in motion picture proiection. The pro- iectionists may have their troubles with film breaks and the lights going out, but the students are grateful, nevertheless, for their tireless efforts. Movies are not the only relaxation of its kind on the campus. Each afternoon the 5:3O club comes on the air over W. L. E. O. It is really a public address system with loudspeakers through- out the campus. On the 5:3O club can be heard the bands of Tommy Dorsey, Sammy Kaye and many others. The boys get great enioyment out of this half hour of musical entertainment. The boys have learned quite a bit about public ad- dress from the 5:30 club work.

The Honor Court, a student government organ- ization, was begun in October, I947, to act as a iury on matters of violations of rules in the student body. This body of representative students consists of the monitors, and presidents, vice presidents, and secretaries of each of the upper classes. In addition, each class elects one other representa- tive to serve. The Honor Court is the most talent laden or- ganization of the school. lt is a combination of students participating in sports, extra curricular activities of all types, and honor roll students. Each member leads in some field, whether it be swimming, baseball, journalism, football, class ad- ministration or honor roll. The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary was reorganized this year by Father Benedict. ln the latter part of October, the sodality be- came known as an active group when delegates were chosen to attend the West Coast deanery meeting in Tampa. ln early November the sodality sent delegates to Jacksonville to attend the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine Convention. Here on our campus, meetings are arranged every two weeks for religious discussions. Food and clothing drives are encouraged through the sodality, while members are urged to attend Holy Communion often. FIFTY-SIX The Sodality. Kneeling, left to right: W. Meyer, L. Link, A. Fields, J.

AND SELFHRELIANT The monitor staff came into effect in '43, and has since been picked each year by Father Raph- ael, headmaster. The monitors are picked for their leadership, and it is their duty to aid the prefects in disciplinary matters as well as to set a good example for the other students. The monitors have various duties, such as wak- ing up the student body in the morning, checking rooms, running study hall, keeping order in the building at all times, and other duties. Above all, theirs is a iob of leadership and good example. There are eight monitors rooming throughout St. Edwards Hall, five are seniors and three are from the iunior class. The seniors are James Johns, John Duane, John Ware, John Dion and James O'Neal. The iuniors are Bill Meyer, George Woodall and Jack Collins. Left panel: monitors pose for the cameraman.

As an extra-curricular organization it has afforded an outlet for the energy of its members, all athletes who hold maior L emblems. This year's L group has accomplished more work than any of its predecessors. Under Father Marion as its chief adviser, the L-ers staged dances, sold hundreds of greeting cards, and op- erated the concession stands at all locally staged athletic events. Full realization of their energetic endeavor was acknowledged recently as the mem- bers received originally designed L Club iackets from the proceeds of their finances. Gold foot- FIFTY-EIGHT balls were also provided to the members of the football squad. To consummate their fine record, the lion men are aiding in the construction of the new St. Leo bowl. With Father Marion's assistance, they have composed a booklet which summarizes the aims and results thus far in the bowl's building pro- gram. Club officers Bill Buckler, president, John Dion, vice-president, George Woodall, treasurer, and Jack Collins, secretary, are in line for accolades. Their work will give L a strong base upon which to build in future years. 1949 .,..,.. ,, - ,,,, THE LION fm Left, candy store clerks Jack Collins, Jack Meyer and .lack Sellsp right, Father Gregory and Robt.

The store is open each after- noon from 3:30 to 4:00 and at night before lights out. The money obtained through the store is used for benefit of the student body.

This library has ap- proximately 5,000 volumes and many monthly, weekly, and daily publications of great value to the student in every field of work. Father Bede, the head librarian, has done wonderful work in collecting these volumes and periodicals from all over the country.

The cadets scored their only tally early in the first quarter, on a long spiral from Williams to Crosby. They held the lead through the first half. Trailing 6-0 at the beginning of the third quarter, the Lions opened their attack. After the Lions drove to the 20 yard line, Jim O'Neal broke off tackle to paydirt. The surging cadets drove to the St. Leo 30, where Jim Fitzgerald intercepted a Bolles pass. O'Neal again took scoring honors as he romped 60 yards to the orange and black goal, behind the excellent blocking of tackles Bill Buckler and Jim Mallory. LOCALS SHOW POWER IN SECOND WIN Again paced by halfback Jim O'Neal, who turned in his best performance of the season by scoring five of the six Lion tallies, the blue and gold smashed the Okeechobee Catfish 37-14. JIM O'NEAL Stste's Leading Scorer SIXTY-THREE THE LION : .... -1 1949 FOOTBALL . . Following a Catfish fumble recovered by guard Alan Meder, the locals rarely lost possession of the pigskin to score I9 points before the second quarter ended. Opening the second half the St. Leo gridders took to the air lanes. Quarterback Fitzgerald connected with a long touchdown pass to Johnny Sosin who snagged it in the end zone. Receiving the following kickoff on his own 40, Raulerson of Okeechobee scored on a 60 yard power iaunt along the right sidelines. After this T. D. both teams scored once, but the Lions held on to their lead and squelched the visitors. LIONS DOWN TRADITIONAL RIVALS The cadets from Florida Military Academy again bowed to the Lion iinx of I9 years. The first quarter showed O'Neal scoring in the opening minutes of play on a line plunge. The cadets retaliated on a sleeper pass from Tyndall to Willingham. In the second quarter the Cadet forward wall faltered and O'Neal scampered to two tallies behind guard John Visconti and end Joe Mason. The second half showed a reiuvenated green and gold team take the field to menace the St. Leo iinx. But in retaliation to their lone score in the third quarter, O'Neal dashed for two, and Fitzgerald plunged over from the six yard stripe. The victory bolstered the lion record over the cadets by the highest score a St. Leo eleven has inflicted upon the cadets. VAUNTED LIONS SINK SAILORS, 40-7 Another visiting team entered Massey field in Dade City to try to cage the Lions, but Ad- miral Farragut's command had to abandon ship. With the visitors concentrating on the Lions' stellar halfback, Jim O'NeaI, the local team took to the air, completing seven out of ten tries, three going for touchdowns and one for a conversion. Both teams scored in the first period, St. Leo scor- ing O'Neal from the seven behind center Bud Duane, and the visitors placing McKenna over from the two. Fitzgerald paced the second quar- ter attack, connecting with two touchdown spirals, one to Dion and the other to Johnny Sosin, putting the blue and gold ahead by a wide margin. Connecting again with a long heave to left half Diez, Fitzgerald set the Lions on another touchdown march, Storch reversing to O'Neal for the score. Still not satisfied, the Lions smashed the resistance when O'Neal stomped through one of his well known routines, the 60-yard dash. LIONS ROAR OVER FLASHES, 35-7 Journeying to St. Augustine the local eleven matched tricks with the St. Joseph Flashes of the ancient city. The Lions again took scoring honors, with O'Neal plunging off tackle from the eight. The St. Joe men staged a comeback on a lateral pass from Pellicer to Stone for their lone tally. O'Neal again scored late in the second stanza, thanks to a hard hitting blue and gold forward wall. Retaining the fighting strength displayed in earlier games, the local eleven ran roughshod over the Flashes, O'Neal breaking into the clear for two, and Diez smashing the line for another touchdown. The Lions were again in scoring posi- tion as reserve center Ed Galloway intercepted a St. Joe pass on the 40, but he was stopped on the one foot line as the contest ended. IN THE FLUSH OF VICTORY.

STARKE YIELDS AS LOCALS TAKE SIXTH Behind excellent line play, the St. Leo eleven again overwhelmed a heavier team, by defeating Starke, 20-6. Captain Bill Buckler stopped the visitors' full- back Johns for a five yard loss, putting the home team into scoring position. O'Neal ankled over from the 40, and again in the closing minutes of the half on a hand oft from Fitzgerald, he crossed the stripe from the five. The Tornadoes opened their only scoring bid on the first play of the second half. Fullback Johns hurled a long spiral to Winkler on an age- old sleeper play that caught the Lions napping. In the third quarter the Starke team, eyeing O'Neal, failed to see the rest of the Lion power- house, and Dion, fast half, sped through the amazed Starke line to cross the double stripe from the 20.

Fielding a much lighter team, the Lions were outmanned by the port city eleven. The locals showed their pow- er in the first half of the contest when they pushed to the Ramblers' 20, from where O'Neal crossed the glory stripe, surrounded by his whole forward wall. The St. Paul squad managed to squeeze one touchdown in the second period when Ran- dolph lateraled to Antone, who packed the pig- skin 40 yards to score. Early in the third stanza the Rambler's re- serve strength began to tell. The Lion attack faltered, and the green and white clad St. Paul eleven ran over the hard fighting, but tired visit- ing team. They were paced by Antone, Damato, and Randolph. LIONS CAPTURE GRID FINALE 25-13 Winding up one ofthe most successful seasons in St. Leo history the Lions ran roughshod over the St. Paul eleven of St. Pete. ln the first quarter fullback Ernest Starch smashed off tackle, and be- hind end John Egan scored from the 20. In the same period Jim O'Neal escaped from a flurry of would-be tacklers to cross the double stripe on a 40 yard iaunt. Retaliating from the two scores, the visitors pushed to the locals' 20, where Gerisi scored on a strong side run. At the beginning of the second half, Lion end Joe Mason snagged a 42 yard Fitzgerald spiral to enter the scoring column for the blue and gold. Not to be outdone the eagles came back with another strong side run by Pfeiffenburger. But fighting back to enlarge their lead, the Lions drove to the St. Pete 35, where Fitzgerald hurled to O'Neal who scored his 147th point of the season SIXTY-SIX in eight games-a state record for the year, re- corded not by one man, but an entire St. Leo squad! THE B SQUAD RECORD The Lion iunior varsity turned in almost as im- pressive a record as the varsity eleven, winning five, tying one and losing one. During the season they trampled the Dade City B squad twice, 26-13, and 7-6. The Pirates managed to hold the JV team to a O-O tie in their last engagement. The little Lions defeated the San Antonio Inde- pendents twice, 13-O and 26-13. Their most de- cisive victory was over the Zephyrhills subs, as they ran wild, 32-14.

The St. Anthony's quintet enioyed a season of I8 victories to 2 defeats. St. Leo lumped to a IO to 6 first quarter ad- vantage and led at the half I8 to I3. Jim Johns and Jim Fitzgerald had almost complete control over both backboards, and both played beauti- fully on defense and offense. The Raiders in the third period gave the Lions a close fight, but at the end of this period the Lions had the advantage ofa five point lead, and in the final minutes of play the Lions pulled well ahead to cinch the game. Bill Buckler was high point man for the fast stepping Lions with 2I tal- lies. Johns, with I3, was next. ln the finals the Lions defeated the second seeded St. Joseph's Flashes of Jacksonville, 5I to 42.

Two new courts will be built this sum- mer, but the courts are still expected to be crowd- ed, and three game sets are enforced by the waiting players. Competition is strong, and many matches must be played before the championship match. Fav- ored to take the senior title is John Duane, a sen- ior, winner of the iunior cup in his freshman year and a top contender since then, with Jim Joyner RIFLE The Rifle Club, under the direction of Father James, O.

INTRAMURAL TRACK The intramural track meet is important on the St. Leo campus, as it governs the choosing of the varsity track team. The championship remains va- cant, as the seniors won the title last year. Expected to score points for their classes this year are Bill Buckler, Jim O'Neal, John Duane, John Dion, James Johns, Roy Dee, Jim Mallory, Alan Me- der, Delbert Hoskins and Wayne Puckett for the seniors. Jim Fitz- gerald, John Sosin, Ronnie Mon- tressor, Jack Sells and Bill Diez should score for the juniors. Bud Mason, Charles Pistole are point makers for the sophs. Britt Whit- aker, George Jones, and John Joyner compete for the freshmen, and Frank Sawyer and Bill Mc- Sweeney for the preps. INTRAMURAL BASEBALL Another intramural sport in the infant stage is baseball. Although great effort has been shown to foster the varsity squad, little attention has been paid to individual class participation. With the direction of Father Marion, varsity members of the squad have organized teams and will meet on the diamond on scheduled days. In the two practice games played prior to the end of basketball season, the sophs emerged vic- torious over the iuniors 4-3, while the seniors smashed the iuniors 9-l.

J., of Sacred Heart Church, Tampa, was made by all the students of St. l.eo. The students kept silence during the whole re- treat while in meditation. There were four con- ferences a day in the abbey church, led by the reverend retreat master. Among the other activities were rosary at the grotto, benediction, examination of conscience and, of course, holy mass in the morning. The re- treat, which lasted for two full days, began on February 27, and ended on March l. FATHER JOHN'S GOLDEN JUBILEE Fr. John Schlicht, O. S. B., celebrated his gold- en iubilee of his entry into the Benedictine order on Dec. 8. Fr. John has been a missionary, a prefect, and headmaster of the school. He is now prior ofthe Abbey. Father John was born in Germany and came to St. Leo 50 years ago. He was sent to the Isle of Pines in Cuba where he became the pastor of a church and organized a school. He learned to speak Spanish at the lsle of Pines and has since been popular with the Spanish boys here. Fr. John went from the Isle of Pines to St. Kilian's Church at Farmingdale, long Island, and then back to St. Leo. He was then made prior of St. Leo and has held that position ever since. On his iubilee he was honored at a solemn high mass and a noon day banquet, where he was Top Photo, Left to right: Brother Aloysius, Father John, Brother Paul, Brother Gerard, Brother Leo and Father Lewis All have spent 50 years or more in the religious life.

B., abbot of St. Anselm's Abbey. He was the guest of honor at the showing of the movie, Joan of Arc , here on the campus. Another distinguished guest was the Most Rev. Ignatius Glennie, S. J., bishop of Trin- comalee, Ceylon, and the only alumnus of St. Leo to become a bishop. Arriving here for one day Bishop Glennie, a mis- sionary, addressed the student body in the dining hall, telling them that in that very room, Abbot Primate Bernard greeted by the abbey's oldest member, Brother Gerard llett centeri.

B., second abbot of St. Leo, presided over a solemn high mass offered in the St. Leo abbey church. The occasion was the first anniversary of the solemn consecration of the church. The church is the only conse- crated one in Florida, and was consecrated by the Most Rever- end Thomas J. McDonough, auxiliary bishop of St. Augus- tine. Candles placed around the interior of the church burned symbolically on the eve of the anniversary.

'I949 ,,, ............1 -,. - THE LION Construction on the Saint Leo bowl has been one of this year's most important achievements. The bowl looks now almost as it will next year with its completion. Paramount of the additional improvements are the erection of the lights and the construction of a small building which is to house a refresh- ment stand, supply and equipment room, and the press box. At the present time grass is flourishing on the field in time to be played upon in September. Below left: THE Immediately after the completion of the bowl another capital proiect is expected to begin, the construction of the auditorium. The school is lack- ing an auditorium since the fire in 1945. Because of the absence of an auditorium a stage had to be built in the gymnasium for the production of an opera in April. The school is not only in need of an auditorium for stage productions, but also for motion pic- tures. For the past four years the movies have been shown in the gym. With an auditorium of our own it will be pos- sible to have many more plays and oratorical contests. One of the huge mechanical monsters giving the future Bowl a facelifting.

CHRISTMAS CHEER With the approach of the holy yuletide sea- son, signs of the religious spirit of the students be- gan to appear around the campus. On the right side of the lobby in St. Edward's Hall, the crib, erected annually and a tradition at St. Leo, was displayed. The electric train, given to Father Raphael on his feast day, as a gift of the student body, was beautifully arranged in the middle of the lobby. Centered around a mirror lake the train set was a miniature masterpiece. A large cedar tree near the flagpole was transformed into a giant Christmas tree with the help of colored lights. In the center of the dining hall another Christmas tree was located and along with more decorations gave the dining hall a gen- uine air of Christmas. The climax was the annual Christmas candle light banquet, a turkey dinner with all the trim- mings. The Christmas of l948 was one of the merriest for all of the boys.

AND THE PROM The traditional iunior-senior prom which is the gala event of the social cal- endar, was held on May 21 in the St. Leo gymnasium. This dance, the only formal dance of the year, is attended only by members of the iunior and senior classes, and others provided with special invita- tions. The motif for the prom featured a western atmosphere in keeping with the graduating 49ers . The student waiters were costumed as prospectors of the gold rush era. True to tradition the tables were covered with red checked tablecloths. Dancing to the music of the St. Leo Star- dusters was enjoyed by all. Refreshments were served by the underclassmen waiters. The success of this dance stands as a tribute to the hard work and ingenuity of the class of l950. The 49ers will al- ways remember the send-off they received from you, Juniors!

I hear Joey DevIin's going to be your star mail carrier, you lucky man, Coach! I5-Classes have been going on for a week. l heard a rumor yesterday, that the Bene- dictine Fathers want to be transferred to Siberia. It seems they'd rather squish in the snow than teach us. Are we that bad? 23-Fr. Raphael can hold off no longer, he had to bring back the demerit system to- day. He gave Hollahan a one year scholarship to the University of J. U. G. 30-Muscles Michael today retaliated against his roommate, Martin.

EIGHTY-EIGHT 'I949 THE LION SET YOUR DIALS This is radio station WBULI., located in the heart of downtown Lebanon, Kentucky. Here, amid the Kentucky colonels and old grandads I am going to present you all the news of the world and national unimportance. Tonight, the 27th of May, l959, l'll bring you the highlights of the reunion here and present status of the members of the '49 class of St. Leo Prep. Alan Meder dispenses aid to the forlorn for a slight fee. He is owner, operator, and no doubt a customer of the You Need Meder Love Co. Bill Buckler with his great personality has pro- gressed rapidly in the political field here in Le- banon. His mayoralty term ended, Bill moved into the iob of city hall ianitor. Which way he's progressing we haven't found out. The elite gathering really was honored with the presence of the very distinguished vice-presi- dent of our nation, Raymond O. Howd. But mid- way through the reunion the ailing vice-pres. suf- fered a relapse and had to be treated by Doctor William Maus. Ah yes, the medical profession really took on a skull when they found Bill. Police Commissioner Delbert P. Hoskins is do- ing a fine iob of shutting down gambling in Miami. He's done such a fine iob that he's closed two of his own bookie shops. .lim Mallory, or Gentleman Jim as he is more often called, is the proprietor of the Goony Tunes Song Publishing Co. His latest hit really is repre- sentative of his feelings. lt's entitled, Yankee Be Good . :M FOR TI-IE FUTURE! g f o .-'Q E . 4' G? him Willie Pinder has put Key West in a prominent position on the map by manufacturing fur coats and ear muffs down in Conch land with all its sunshine and warmth. No wonder he was voted most talented classman. No more distinguished a college man than Brice Berry, with his B. A., M. A., Ph. D. and E. E. degrees, attended. Brice is now operating a hot dog stand at a midwest girls' school. What edu- cation won't do! J. Roy Dee is a multimillionaire oil baron as head man of the Tideland Oil Co. He is operat- ing in competition with his father's company so that the family will not monopolize the nation's oil supply. Kenneth Todd, U. S. senator-Yes, Ken is a noted politician and promised the next reunion would be held in the White House with him as host. Hugh Canny, thrice All-American footballer, expressed his views on sports in general. Hugh's EIGHTY-NINE THE uoN SET YOUR DIALS FOR six feet, four inch, 250 pound frame is an im- pressive example of good conditioning. John McGauran is the class thespian. His suave love making makes him a fixture on Broad- way. Jim O'Neal, ex-athlete, decided sports were too rough on him, and has retired to softer fields as operator of a beauty parlor. Johnny Ware displayed his manly torso. He's the most photographed man in the nation with his body beautiful muscles appearing in the comic books. Eoghan Kelley is a professional model. He models for the Cassidy Cuckoo Clock Co. His face is seen every time the cuckoo pops out. John Duane appeared bald headed as ever. John is chief salesman for the Rounder Than Red Billiard Balls Co. His smooth, shiny dome is his best advertisement. Paul Canova operates a fishing and hunting resort at Starke. Business must be good, for John Visconti is employed by Paul in the position of executive clipper. Joe Devlin was accorded honors as the class' best yes man. It seems he's remained at St. Leo all these years, and has stepped into Father Gregory's shoes. Jimmy Johns is steadily climbing in the bank- ing business. He left his iob in the First National Bank to become a director in the 2lst National. NINETY 1 949 THE FUTURE CONTINUED Wayne Puckett has gone a long way since St. Leo days. Wayne is an outstanding botanist, flower fixer, that is. He exhibited his prize pe- tunias at the gathering and promised he'd put a pansy in every reunioner's pot. Alan Fields has really carried out his Casanova reputation. He is the most noted polygamist in the country by virtue of his 13 marriages without even one divorce. But he seems well off as he is owner of a tremendous stable-27 children, that is. All aboard, last trip to Mercury, Venus, and Mars. That's Joe Cothron shouting out his last trips for the night to the planets. Joe.'s keen mind virtually ran him up there as he stands on Times Square nightly renting his telescope for a dime a peek. ' John Dion is the same guy. He was so suc- cessful as a card shark, that he stacked away a tidy sum of greenbacks, which enabled him to get away from it all and become a hermit.- Joe Fuerst, Ernie Starch, and Carl Gude were unable to attend, since they were slated to be received as brothers. lt seems they saw so little of St. Leo while students, they decided to spend the rest of their lives exploring their Alma Mammy. And this concludes our broadcast. This is Jack Egan, your WBULL news commentator, and l have only this to add to the evening's proceed- ings: despite the hilarity, a wet time was had by all-except teetotaler Egan, who proved to be a wet blanket to the reunion.

Nmerv-or-ze THE LION T.. 1949 CHRGNICLE GF THE YEAR CONTINUED April I-Guess what today is. Right, and how the fur flew. All the bad cats in senior alley went crazy. Hoskins broke Maus' bottles, Meder got back at the Colonel by hiding his corn liquor. Yogen K. swiped Berry's western stories and lil' ole Alan Boyd threw the screwdriver door knob out of the window so Egan couldn't study his chemistry, but I guess that was all right because Egan says, I know that stuff . What a bluff. Apr. I3-Don Kreusch asked Coach if Jenkins could play in the dance band. Coach said yes. Later the maestro found a list of boys going to St. Pete and Jenkins' name was there. So into the Krunchmobile and off to catch the bus and Jenkins went Don. Two hours later he returned, no Jenkins, no patience, no hair and no car. He found Jenkins calmly playing Brahm's Lullaby in the band room. You're so has- ty, Mr. Kreusch! Apr. 2I-Today is G. K.'s birthday. Happy birth- day, G. K. Apr. 25-Yes, today comes that familiar scene, like after each vacation. Col. Buckler finally returns. His excuse was there was a Lulu of a snow storm in Ky. You wouldn't try to snow Father, would you Buckler? May I-Only twenty seven more days before we leave, and everyone is very happy. Espec- ially Maus who has been accepted into Toupe College of Tonsorial Arts. You lucky boy, Billy. May 4-Egan celebrates passing chemistry by shooting roman candles at the monitors. O'Neal and Dion are in bed with flash burns. Legal excuse for a change! NINETY-TWO May 6 -I think that our Eoghan has finally grown up. I know this is rather an astounding statement, but l'll give you the facts and let you decide for yourselves. Last night a few boys over heard Eoghan talking about girls instead of Skoof, his Doberman pinscher. May I3-Most of the seniors today are taking their sun baths as usual. I'm not saying that these guys are lazy, but about an hour ago I saw Buckler and Duane flip to see which one would hold the coke bot- tle up while the other one drank. May I9-This morning there came a loud scream as Collins said, Get out mah room. I am trying to study mah physics and you don't care. Robarge's answer, How did you know ? May 2I--Tonight is the Prom and all the boys have been working hard to see if they can get the chains off their ankles, so they can go home and get dates, except Ware, Mal- lory, Duane, Fitzgerald and Woodall, who after all only have to go to Dade City to get their five girls. May 22-OoooooH, how I hate to get up in the- lafternoonl, but it was fun. May 26-It's now almost twelve o'cIock midnight and as much as I hate to do it, I have to make sure that everyone is in condition, that is, to graduate. I hope they don't hold the graduation too early, because I don't think Woodall will be able to get up. May 27-Today, graduation is here, so I will make this short as I can. You've all been swell thru the whole year. Maybe some of us have our faults, but iust try to remem- ber: To err is human, to forgive is divine.
