MAGAZINE Published annually by the students of Maur Hill School Volume XI, 1950 Atchison - - Kansas Administration Building Entrance Walk Foreword In our portrayal of the pilgrimage that is their life on earth, Men must choose The road that will take them to a successful conclusion Of their journey. Various teachers and loaders promise men this success if they will Follow their road. The Communist offers material happiness and answers to all the Problems of humanity. The Militarist offers glory and power to those who aspire after This world's might. The Capitalist promises to place in the hands of every man Riches and pleasures. St. Joseph offers a strange formula for a successful journey, Penance and prayer. Beyond man's present vision appear our pilgrims on the paths that Men do choose. Communism's road of material happiness becomes for its travelers A dreadful slavery. Militarism's trail of glory and power leads its followers To ruthless brutality. Capitalism's highway of riches and pleasure finds men struggling in Selfishness and greed. And all these roads inevitably lead the hapless wayfarers To chaos and destruction. St. Joseph's road of penance and prayer leads its journeyers to Grace and peace; For this is the stumbling block, the foolishness, the paradox of The Christian tale, He who saves his life for this world Will lose it; He who loses his life for Christ Will save it. There would be no doubt about the road that Men would choose If they could see their pilgrimage here with the Vision of Faith. May the Father and Guide of Jesus Christ in the ways of His earthly pilgrimage Guide men during this Holy Year out of the desert of Their present distress, And make all men pilgrims on the road to Grace and Peace. Dedication IN THIS YEAR OF PILGRIMAGE, THE HOLY YEAR, WE DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO THE FIRST PILGRIM, SAINT JOSEPH, WHO AT THE WILL OF GOD LEFT THE QUIET AND SAFETY OF HIS HOME AND GUIDED THE BLESSED MOTHER AND THE CHRIST CHILD SAFELY THROUGH THE DESERT INTO EGYPT. NO LIFE COULD OFFER A BETTER EXAMPLE OF HOLINESS THAN THAT OF THE FOSTER-FATHER OF OUR LORD. IT WILL SERVE AS OUR MODEL WHEN WE LEAVE THE SAFETY OF HOME AND SCHOOL TO SET FORTH ON THE PILGRIMAGE OF LIFE. j0Mmm St. Joseph, Father and Guide of Jesus Christ in His childhood and youth Staff Editor Eugene Sullivan Associate Editors John Hovorlca, Thomas Killeen Business Manager Richard Arensberg Advertising Manager John Burns Advertising Richard Arensberg, Michael Boyce, Terrance Devlin, Michael Flynn John Hovorka, Lawrence Kelly, Donald Lampe, John Lane, Bobby Lopez, John Meier, William Morley, Donald Ruhlman Robert Sauer, Eugene Sullivan, LeRoy Sutlief Circulation Manager Michael Boyce Circulation John Lane, John Meier Artist Eugene Sullivan Contents ADMINISTRATION CLASSES SPIRITUAL LIFE ARTS AND HUMANITIES SOCIAL SPORTS “It must never be forgotten that the subject of Christian education is man whole and entire, soul united to body in unity of nature, with all his faculties natural and supernatural. ”—Pius XL A D M I N I S T R A T I O N What Is Education? That conception of education which makes the sole object of learning the mere aquisition of inform- ation and facts on a large number of topics by means of some activity program doesn't quite add up. Of what value is the acquiring of a large number of facts and figures if you cannot think about them intelli- gently? A true education must consist primarily of a training of the mind to think, and with this solid foundation the student can intelligently acquire the various facts and figures which he needs. In preparing the young man for setting out on the Pilgrimage of Life the Benedictine Fathers en- courage and assist the student in the adoption of the moral habits which give him a sound foundation for the future. Cardinal Newman lists these habits as diligence, assiduity, regularity, dispatch, and per- severing application. He goes on to state that these are the direct conditions for the acquisition of a true education. At Maur Hill those qualities are instilled in the student not only by the guiding influ- ence of the faculty but by the example of their Christ-like lives. If the student co-operates with the faculty the result is the creation of a good, stalwart, Catholic man. Father Anthony Reilman, O. S. B. Principal Handing out advice Keeping things going F A C REV.

GRADUATES As the day of graduation draws near and we are faced with the thought of leaving Maur Hill, our thoughts constantly rove back over the years we have spent as students here. We remember our first days as small, bewildered freshmen when we gazed in awe at the upperclassmen and listened in terror to their prophecies as to the horrible end we would meet when May Day finally arrived. We took them as ideals and imitated their every trait and manner- ism. Next came those happy, carefree days of our sophomore year when we had at last reached the dignified status of upperclassmen. As juniors we assumed some of the responsibilities of upperclass- men as well as the privileges. Now when we have reached the climax of our high school education we come to the realization that all of the headaches and heartaches that we underwent in sweating out those tests were really not as bad as they seemed at the time. Moreover, we suddenly realize that not only have the fundamentals of the various types of schol- astic endeavor been mastered, but our teachers and prefects have instilled within us a sound knowledge of Catholic doctrine to prepare us for the Pilgrim- age of Life . As we prepare to set out into the world we pray to the first pilgrim, St. Joseph, to guide our steps in the future as our faculty has done during the last four years. 19 John M.

Whenever our shoes needed a little added lustre, or our laundry needed to be mailed, there was always some obliging freshman who was ready to help. Sophomores and juniors were always being petitioned for that clean white shirt or that flashy necktie. Whenever we needed a cigarette or a nickel there was always an underclassman handy, uncomplainingly giving us what we desired. Sometimes we were refused when our requests were exorbitant, and though we may not have shown it by our actions or words, we never really expected the underclassmen to comply with our de- mands. It was truly grand the way we lived in harmony with one another. True, we did have our little dis- putes and quarrels, but what can be expected from a group of healthy young boys? All in all we work- ed and played together as one happy family. Whenever an underclassman wanted a date, help with his classes, or any of the small things that come up in daily life it was with great pleasure that we tried to assist them. We may have groaned, complained or put it off, but it really gave us a feel- ing of pleasure to know that they in some small way looked up to us. As we look back on our days at Maur Hill we will not think of the underclassmen as our servants, but as our younger brothers. 27 JUNIORS The junior class consisted of forty students this year, eleven day scholars and twenty-nine boarders. They were very active in every campus activity. The class was led by the class officers, Joseph Lard- ner, president; Bob Buhler, vice-president; and Jos- eph Haegelin, secretary-treasurer; from Topeka, Kansas; Maryville, Missouri; and Atchison, Kansas, respectively. The junior class was well represented in athletics and the Tatler staff. On the Tatler , Francis Fanning was editor-in- chief, while Kenneth Schultz was news editor. Law- rence Riehemann was sports editor and was assisted by Francis Herfkens. Maurice Tobin was feature editor, while Buzzy Lardner was business manager. Other juniors holding various positions on the staff were: Leo Stueve, Bill Roth, and Robert Broderick. Scholastically, Kenneth Schultz held top honors in the class making straight A grades the entire year. In athletics, Buzzy Lardner and Tom Brungart from Topeka, Kansas, and Morland, Kansas, respect- ively, were honored by being chosen co-captains for the 1950 football season by the team. Bill Roth, Bob Buhler and Leo Stueve from Victoria, Kansas; Maryville, Missouri; and Wymore, Nebraska, were chosen president, vice-president, and secretary- Class officers Lardner, Haegelin, and Buhler JUNIORS: Back row; (left to right)—Vernon F.

Other juniors who saw action on the gridiron during the last season were: Anders, Beeby, Harrington, Tobin, DeBauge, Giller, and Tucker. In basketball, Baron Johnson and Bob Buhler were the only juniors to make the varsity, but the fast moving, hard driving, sharp shooting B team was well represented with juniors. This year the juniors had seven men on the base- ball team. They are as follows: Domann, Montgom- ery, Mooney, Herfkens, Buhler, Bindel, and Roth. In the field of entertainment, the juniors spon- sored a Junior Drag , a Dog Patch Dance , the second in the history of Maur Hill, and the annual Junior-Senior Prom. These were well organized and very well liked by the Hilltoppers. The Glee Club, the Band, the Dramatics Club, and the St. John Berchmans Society were well sup- ported by this class. Leo Stueve was elected trea- surer of the St. John Berchmans society. There are four scholastics among the juniors who are study- ing for religious orders and for the secular priest- hood. They are as follows: Leo Stueve, Francis Herfkens, Kenneth Schultz, and Francis Fanning. The juniors copped the A league intramural football championship, and came out champs in the Big Ten intramural basketball league.

Under the leadership of their class offic- ers they took part in all phases of Maur Hill life. The class officers were: Jack McCarthy, Taos, New Mex- ico, president: Henry Keeley, East St. Louis, Illinois, vice-president; and Pete Arensberg, Atchison, Kan- sas, secretary-treasurer. In the intellectual field the sophomores were tops by having four on the straight A Honor Roll. They were: Dean Diederich, Greenleaf, Kan- sas; Richard Phayer, Topeka, Kansas; Paul Devlin, Hale, Colorado; and Jack McCarthy, Taos, New Mexico. Eleven more made the Honor Roll. Six sophs were reporters for the Tatler . They were; Richard Phayer, Richard O Dowd, Thomas Trompet- er, Gerald Fahey, George Hornick, and Robert Riley. Athletically, the sophomores showed that in the next few years Maur Hill is going to have grade A football, basketball, and baseball teams. On the football field they were represented by eleven men who will help provide the backbone for a winning team next year. They are: Hank Keeley, Donald Pitts, George Hornick, Lawrence Wagener, Thomas Trompeter, Robert Sueper, Pete Arensberg, Class officers McCarthy, Keeley, and Arensberg SOPHOMORES: Back row: (left to right)—Peter Arensbprg, John Coupe, Dean Diederich, John Come Roy Giller, Paul Devlin, Donald Bachofer.

Front row: Gerald Fahey, Richard Clark, Maurice Clin Thomas Baker, Jose Barquin, Zeno Brune. 30 SOPHOMORES Richard Phayer, Kenneth Sihtenauer, John Coupe, and Michael Cronin. On the basketball court the sophomores furn- ished two men for the varsity and three on the B team. Hank Keeley and Bill Bradshaw performed very ably for the varsity. Keeley won himself the coveted M for his labors on the court. For ihe B” team Donald Pitts, Pete Arensberg, and Richard Phayer were steady and stalwart performers. Down on the diamond Hank Keeley, Bill Fleming, Donald Pitts, and George Hornick represented the sophomore class. Keeley, Fleming, and Pitts played last year and Keeley and Fleming earned letters. The sophomores are the mainstay of the Band having twelve members of their class in that organiz- ation. These boys by the time they are seniors will probably be the finest band in the history of Maur Hill. They were aiso well represented in the Glee Club, Dramatics Club and the St. John Berchmans Society. There are eight sophomores studying for the priesthood. The sophs are a very able class, full of spirit and always ready and willing to work. It has been re- marked that the sophomores are, in the fields of Sophs hitting the books SOPHOMORES: Back row: (left to right)—Rodney Mense, Jerry Hagen, Joseph Mahan, John McCarthy, Robert HegarVy, Louis Niemann.

Having completed their sophomore year, they can no longer be regarded as children in any sense of that word. Now they are truly men; maybe not in the strict sense of the word, but in the sense that they are more on their own and starting to strive for a position in life. They are going to be kind masters for their treatment of the freshmen was exemplary in every way. They will be leaders and scholars. This can be seen from the number that makes the Honor Roll and from their active participation in the extra-curricular activities. From the number of sophomores in the St. John Berchmans Serving Society one can see that they have already learned the true meaning of life, that is, to know, love, and serve God. Their religious principles are taught them every day to make them men of character and principle. They have learned their lessons well and in their future years will be guards and crusaders for their faith against the god- lessness that prevails in the world today.

The class is com- posed of twenty-nine boarders and thirty day schol- ars. They were very energetic and were always will- ing to run those very important errands for their superiors, the upper classmen. They never whimp- ered or uttered a sound of complaint when it came to shining those dance shoes, mailing laundry for the seniors, and numerous other tasks which were assign- ed them. Now they are prepared to move to a higher position, to act as foster brothers of the on- coming freshmen. They have now completed one year of Maur Hill life and have completed it very well. The freshman class was well and ably led by: Richard Senecal, president; George Sauer, Vice- president; and secretary-treasurer, James Stein. They were from Atwood, Kansas; Atchison, Kansas; and Minneapolis, Kansas respectively. These class officers were well liked and were quick to learn Maur Hill's spirit. Class officers Senecal and Sauer with McDermott FRESHMEN: Back row: (left to right)—Howard Baker, John Brentano, Robert Colgan, Elmer Fangman, Robert Barron, Duane Duffey, Norman Brummel. Second row: Paul Chavez, Gerald Brox, Michael Gibbs, Jack Gardner, Harlan Berland, Thomas Chappie, Kenneth Arensberg. Front row: Elmer Bergman, Richard Baker, Denny Diederich, John Falk, Gerald Denk, Manuel Garcia. 33 FRESHMEN On a quarterly average, sixteen of the freshman class made the honor roll, although none of them made straight A grades, they proved themselves scholastically, bowing only to the sophomore class in total numbers making the honor roll. The ' Tatler staff had some new young members this year who soon acquired the fundamentals in the journalistic field. The boys who made the Cub grade were: Howard Baker, Richard Landis, James Stein, Richard Baker, and Robert Kahler. By the end of the year they were seasoned reporters. In sports, the freshmen fielded a football team and a basketball team. They produced a powerful, well spirited, well trained football team which show- ed many good prospects for coming years. In bas- ketball, they turned in a record of nine wins and five losses, and brought home a trophy when they captur- ed third place honors in the Atchison Junior High Tournment. McDermott, Senecal, Brummel, Haeg- el, and Smart played on the B squad at various times. They will give much support to the Junior Raven team, which is losing some very valuable let- termen this year. Twelve of the freshmen are scholastics, studying for the priesthood. They are: Howard Baker, Elmer Bergman, Harlan Berland, Gerald Denk, Elmer Fang- Getting their physical education FRESHMEN: Back row: (left to right)—Jerome Lutz, Dale Ostmeyer, Frederick Hollowell, Robert He; .Robert McDermott, Richard Landis, Rhilip O'Neill.

In the St. John Berchmans society, our Freshmen were strong in number. These servers of Mass per- formed their work for God very well. They were: Howard Baker, Elmer Bergman, Harlan Berland, Ger- ald Denk, Elmer Fangman, Edward Heiman, Fred Hol- lowed, Don Kessler, Dick Landis, Philip O'Neill, Dale Ostmeyer, James Roths, and Dick Senecal. In the band, only two freshmen made the grade. They are Howard Baker and Dick Senecal. Both boys did an excellent job in helping provide musical entertainment for the Hilltoppers. The Big Six intramural basketball league was captured by an all freshman team, the Saints, cap- tained by Gerald Denk. They won their final game from the Colts, captained by Robert Riley. The Saints were composed of Elmer Fangman, Gerald Denk, Edward Heiman, Fred Hollowed, and Elmer Bergman. The champs received intramural T-shirts, signifying their supremacy, from Father Gerald Mes- mer, O. S. B., the high commissioner of the program.

All literary efforts fail to express the spiritual advantages offered to the student of Maur Hill. Each day is started with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and ended with night prayers said in common in the respective study halls. Every class throughout the day begins and ends with prayer. Every possible effort is made to facilitate the frequent reception of the sacraments by the students. Spiritual counsel can eas- ily be obtained from the Chaplain who is ready and willing at all times to elucidate any problems of the students. All of the classes are taught with the Christian viewpoint in mind. Even in our athletics we are im- bued with correct, Christian, sportsmanlike ideals and objectives. Crucifixes and religious pictures throughout all of the buildings offer us a constant re- minder of the fact that we are working for a higher goal than mere temporal success. The Spiritual aspect of our school life prepares us not only for life here on earth, but also for heaven afterwards. 37 Let Thy Hand Be With Me In times of trouble and distress, it is consoling to have one to whom one can turn for advice. Father Placidus, our chaplain, is that refuge and consolation. Father's advice has kept many on the correct path when difficulties seemed too large to overcome. Now that we are leaving Maur Hill, his advice means more and more to us. Perhaps the full meaning of his ad- vice will come later when our minds have become more mature. We owe a great deal more to you, Father, but please accept our most sincere thanks. Father Placidus is the prefect of the boys study- ing for the priesthood, to give God their lives if it be His Will.

Vincent Hart, C.Ss.R., from Glenview, Illinois, conduct- ed the annual retreat held Nov. 6 to 9. Father Hart has been engaged in missionary work since his ordination and served as a chaplain in an infantry division in Europe during World War II. in his conferences Father told some of his many experiences to prove points. He told of his visit to Theresa Neumann, the stigmatist, at Konnersreuth, Germany, to allow us to enjoy, to some degree, the wonder and power of God. Father showed the wrongs in the world today and pointed out ways by which we can defeat and escape them. For all the spiritual help and guidance given us in this re- treat, we thank Father Hart and pray God's blessing on his work. Rev. Vincent Hart, C. Ss.

A member of the St. John Berchmans Society gains special graces for his faithful serving at the Holy Sacrifice which will aid him in later years. New members entering the society must meet certain requirements. They must learn the prayers and ceremonies of the Mass perfectly and possess the qualities of a good character. When the require- ments are met they are enrolled in the Society of St. John Berchmans in a public ceremony. The officers of the St. John Berchmans Society during the 1949-1950 school year were: Jack Burns, senior scholastic, president; Tom Killeen, senior schol- astic, secretary; Leo Stueve, junior scholastic, treas- urer; Ken Schultz, junior scholastic, master of cere- monies; and Maurice Cline and Jerry Fahey, sopho- more scholastics, sacristans.

O. | The Catholic Youth Organization of St. Ba diet's parish, otherwise known as the C.Y.O., waj vital part of every Maurites life. Practically evj day scholar belonged to the organization, and great number of the boarders became associ members during the school year. The C.Y.O. Co munion Breakfast was held March 19 in St. Benedif parish school hall, and was attended by a large de gation of hungry Maurites. In the same building the Youth Center where many boys and girls ent themselves on Friday nights and Sunday afternoa The Youth Center contains many recreational fat ities and has a juke-box which has the finest in rj ordings. The Youth Center is opened to the membt four days a week, but Maurite boarders are freei only two of these days. It provides an ideal pla for the Maurites to meet and get acquainted w! the Mounties. Activities included in the year's enfi tainment were the semi-formal Anniversary Bi which was held on February 16, and various oti dances and parties. The Center was opened aft every basketball game that was held in St. Benedic gym. It is regarded as one of the very best; its fj ilities are modern and there is always some formi entertainment for everyone. Above: Two scenes in the Youth Center Below: The C. Y. O. Communion Breakfast 42 43 siH our refuge in adversity, our support in temptation, our solace in affliction Student Representatives Putting democracy into practice, the students of Maur Hill elected their Student Council early in September. It was the duty of these individuals to represent the student body to the faculty, and to direct student activities. Throughout the year they did their utmost to make the school year more suc- cessful by trying to promote a spirit of co-operation between the students and the faculty. Numerous dances were sponsored throughout the year to pro- vide adequate social activities for the general stud- ents. The play, Boarding House Reach , was spon- sored in order to raise funds to sponsor future activ- ities. Athletic Night gave the students an opportun- ity to exhibit their prowess in various athletic com- petitions. Trips were sponsored to a few of the out- standing athletic events of the year. Student Council officers confer with Father Anthony Gene Sullivan, senior boarder from Massena, Iowa acted as president throughout the year with Micky Flynn, senior from Atchison, Kansas serving as vice-president, and Jack Burns, senior scholastic from Topeka, Kansas, as secretary-treasurer.

There were moments of the grea- est despair, but also moments which were full of happiness wk the rest of the students evinced signs of pleasure at reading r, news, the spiritual, and the humerous articles. The entire staff is grateful to Father James Downey, O.Sil for his excellent advice in teaching them the art of writing. Tt,. gave the students the opportunity to obtain invaluable experie ce in the field of journalistic endeavor. They have received recognition for their efforts in the fort of the All Catholic award given by the Catholic School Pret Association, and the International First Place award granted bi the Quill and Scroll Society. The students who composed the head of this year's staH have been Francis Fanning as editor-in-chief, and Kennefl Schultz as news editor, Gene Sullivan, and Maurice Tobin, wf succeeded him as feature editor. Other important positions wets held by Lawrence Riehemann, who was sports editor. Franc Herfkens assisted him by writing intramural articles. Buzzy Late ner was the business manager for the year.

A remembrance of a year full of fun, studies, sports and friends. The pictures in this book will remind us of faces of those whom some of us will never see again and of the happy and carefree times which might never be seen by us again. Naturally, the Maurite will mean more to the seniors but everyone will enjoy it for the seniors by no means hold a monopoly on the fun at Maur Hill. Those who are leaving will have in the Maurite the friendships and some of the pleasures they had at Maur Hill. If only a little of the life of a Maurite pictured here gives to some a happy recollection of their days at Maur Hill, the work that has been put into this book will have achieved its purpose. The editors and staff wish to thank Father James Downey, O. S. B., for his guidance and untiring labor in helping us produce this book. We also wish to thank all our patrons and advertisers whose aid in publishing it was invaluable.

Under the direction of Mr. Earl Juhas the Band has grown to the largest in the history of Maur Hill and from the enthusiasm dis- mayed around the campus, the Band will continue to grow with each succeeding year. The nucleus of the Band this year was the sophomores, which gives promise for an exceptionally fine Band in the next few years. The Band specialized in marches but on occasion branched off on the popular strain. During the year it performed on many occasions. The main performances were the annual spring concert and for commencement exercises. Other performances were dur- ing the intermission of plays, the homecoming bonfire and pep rallies. Maur Hill's Band is becoming larger and the interest is becoming greater as it should, for music is necessary in any school. Music is entertainment but most of all it teaches one to work with others and to appreciate the finer arts of life.

Therefore the Dramatics Club was kept very busy presenting five one-act plays and three three-act plays, all of which were comedies. These plays were under the direction of Father Fabian Harshaw, O. S. B. Father is a veteran at pro- ducing Maur Hill's plays; not only does he direct the plays, but he is also stagecraft manager. In the latter department, Jack O Connell and Francis Beeby assisted him this year. The dramatics entertainment began with three one-act comedies, The Red Lamp, Julius Ceaser,” and Dress Rever- sal,’’ presented on October 31. On November 20, 21, and 22 a three-act play was sponsored by the student council. It was entitled, The Boarding House Reach.” December was supplied with two one-act plays, Jimmy s Little Sister” and Say Uncle, on the 14th. On March 19 and 20, The Calamity Kids was presented. The final production of the year was given on Mother's Day, May 14. It was entitled, Abie’s Irish Rose,” a three-act comedy. The feminine roles in the plays were filled by Mount St. Scholastica Academy students. The plays, which were all comedies, provided relaxing en- tertainment for the students who appreciated plays produced by their fellow students.

Augustine Rottering, O.S.B., (at left) has gained fame as an amateur radio operator. He is the emergency coordinator for the Northeast section of Kansas for the American Radio Relay League, which maintains communications when a disaster or emer- gency occurs. Father's call is also listed in Santa Fe s Radio Station Directory to handle railroad commun- ications in case of a line prostration. Father often contacts people in foreign lands for students and townspeople. Under the direction of Father Augustine some boys (left middle) have set up a ham shack and are preparing for their amateur license. They are: Law- rence Giller, Bill Roth, Bill Elias and Mark McGuire. Father Augustine, the abbey coin collector, is the moderator of the Numismatist’s Club (bottom left). Many Maurites have been attracted to this hobby. They are: John Hagel, Gerald Fahey, Har- lan Berland, Elmer Rottinghaus, Francis O Donoghue, Alfred Zerr, Philip O'Neill, Elmer Bergman, Kenneth Wagner, Richard Senecal, Denny Diederich, Jack McCarthy, Robert Kruse, and Robert Riley. The Camera Club (bottom right) lies dormant most of the year but when the call of the Tatler” and Maurite for pictures is sent out, it springs to life. The members are: Manuel Garcia, Richard Sene- cal, Jose Barquin, Rodney Mense, Jose Casanueva, Robert Riley, Leo Stueve, and William Bradshaw. 53 Homecoming Queen and Co-Captains Where I First Met You Who has an extra white shirt?'' Do you gei the car tonight? How about a ride? Someone loan me some cuff links! What familiar words wher there is a night out or a dance! Throughout the year the Maurites had ample opportunities to meet ana become acquainted with the Mounties. Every Frida) night the C. Y. O. Center was the rendezvous for the Maurites and the Mounties seeking an evening oi entertainment and relaxation. Numerous dances were held ranging from the blue jeans and plow shoes Dogpatch Dance to the semi-formal Junior-Senior Prom. Besides these dances which were sponsored by the Maurites, the girls of Mount St. Scholastica Academy held several very enjoyable social function; namely the Annual Mixer, the Mission Benefit, and their Junior-Senior Prom. It was not only on the dance floor that we ap- preciated the Mounties for they were our best sup- porters at all of our athletic activities. We owe a sincere vote of thanks to them for the spirit of co- operation with which they met our every undertaking. 54 Above: Autumn Hop Middle: Seniors in the Roost Below: Junior Dance 55 Squab's Roost A new recreation hall has been built to provide a better equipped Roost tor the Maurites. The Roost now offers a place for the students to lounge during their free time. The Roost sells candy, pop, ice cream, boob and stationary supplies. It is equipped with card tables and ping-pong tables with which the Maurites entertain themselves. The students of Maur Hill want to thank the faculty and all other; I who have made the construction of this wonderful addition to the campus possible. At the right is seen Father Placidus blessing the new build- ing on February 18, the day o its opening.

BIOLOGY: With their minds full of such terms as mandiple, antennae, and spiracles, the members of this class delve into the myster- ies of the grasshopper. Laboratory classes al- ways seem to be pop- ulor and this was no exception. ENGLISH I: Here are seen a group of freshmen who, under the guiding hand of Father John, are learning the fun- damentals of the Eng- lish language. This class includes the study of literature ranging from Homer to Washington Irving. SOCIOLOGY: Under the guidance of the regular teacher, Father Linus, and the practice teacher, Mr. Hegarty, the young sociologists attempt to come to an under- standing of Christian social principles and problems of the pres- ent time. 57 PHYSICS: Under the proficient I guidance of Fathe I Augustine we see the I young physicists os- ! pi ring after a morel complete understood-1 ing of magnetics.

AMERICAN HISTORY: With Father Gerald os professor, the mat- erial that comes out of history books is no longer dry stuff. Aside from learning the pol- itical history of our country, special emph- asis is placed on the current problems of the world.

ALGEBRA I: Here we see a group of freshmen learning some of the funda- mentals of Algebra from Mr. Owens. Des- pite the fact that they were sometimes puz- zled by strange letters, and plus and minus signs, this was one of the more popular clas- ses of the freshmen. MECHANICAL DRAWING: Although this class required a great deal of time and patience it was enjoyed very much by those who took it. Besides teaching the fundamentals of draft- ing it helped to instill in them the virtues of patience and exact- ness. Father Fabian was the Master of Drawing. 59 MODERN HISTORY: This class provides the student with a bet- ter understanding of our social and political backgrounds, enabling him to face the prob- lems of the day more intelligently. Dates and facts take on an atmosphere of reality with Father Wilfird as professor. CITIZENSHIP: Here we see a group of students learning on 2 of the many func- tions of our govern- ment. Taught by Fath- er Anthony, this course not only covers our duties, as citizens, to the government, but also its duties to us. LATIN II: Attempting to mast- er such deep things as purpose and result clauses, the sophomore Latin students plow through Ceasar's Gal- lic wars under the cap- able guidance of Fath- er Placidus . Despite the fact that it was considered one of the most difficult courses it was one of the larg- er classes in the school. 60 Above: Meet the cooks Below: On the way to dinner 61 Above: Infirmary Drug Room 62 Below: Scene in Library 63 IHHMi Until at length we arrive at the land of the living where with Thee and Mary Thy most holy spouse, we may rejoice forever in Jesus, Our Lord. 64 Something More Than Skill and Might What other place gives better evidence of the for- mation of solid Christian character than the athletic field? It is here that the spirit of fair play and decency, and the practice of Christian virtue are engendered and carried into our everyday life. It is on the athletic field that a man attains the moral stamina to face an obstacle and never run away from it. The success of an athletic season is not determined by the number of victories and defeats but by the firm foundations that are laid for the future. It is with this ideal that our coaches and athletic directors have prepared us to face the obstacles of life as we step forth to meet them. 65 Ravens Turning to The Fray Playing a rugged schedule of big, heavy teams, the Maur Hill Junior Raven football team managed to produce only three wins out of the nine games played. Though the season was not a very spectacul- ar one, there were many heartening moments when the team showed signs of greatness. Much can be said of the two long touchdown jaunts of Buhler and Stueve in the Boys Town game; the spirited comeback in the last quarter of the Im- maculata game in which the Little Birds scored two touchdowns that pulled the game out of the fire; the sudden rally in the first half of the Rockhurst game; the tackles made by Brungardt and Sutlief that knocked the Atchison Redmen for losses and saved the game; and the twenty-eight yard run by Buzzy Lardner in the win over Lillis. A great amount of credit must be given to Mr. Harold Owens, for his fine job of coaching this year's grid squad. Co-captain Terry Devlin was the outstanding player this season although because of injuries he was kept out of a number of games. Other stalwarts who led the Black and Gold backfield included Bob Buhler, Leo Stueve, and Wild Bill Morley. Anchoring the line were co- captain Dick Arensberg, Tom Brungardt, Bill Roth, and Vic Wiesner. Meeting Atchison High in the opener, the Jun- ior Ravens, avenging last year's lone defeat, poured the heat on to the Redmen to drop them 12-6. Then came the disheartening 13-2 defeat at the hands of the Washington Rural gridsters that put the team on the skids. Then followed losses at the hands of a powerful Haskell eleven and also to Hay- den, the Jayhawk league champs. Mr. Harold Owens Before a gala homecoming crowd, an inspired flock of Little Birds bumped the fighting Irish of Lillis 13-7. After losing the next game to Rockhurst the Maurites eked out a 14-13 win over a stubborn Immaculata eleven. Following the Immaculata win, the Black and Gold were routed by a swift Boys Town squad that could not be stopped as they rolled up touchdown after touchdown. Ending their dismal season, the Little Birds were handed a setback by dropping to Ward 20-0. Those that played their last game for Maur Hill were Terry Devlin, Dick Arensberg, Vic Wiesner, John Meier, Robert Sauer, Mike Boyce, Gene Sulli- van, Dick Cogan, Bill Morley, Ed Halpin, LeRoy Sut- lief, Larry Kelly and Bernard Seeger. Prospects for next year's Junior Raven team are favorable. Co-captains elect, Tom Brungardt and Buzzy Lardner, will lead a squad built around return- ing lettermen Bob Buhler, Bill Roth, Leo Stueve, Frank Beeby, and Larry Giller.

This is a respectable record when one considers the caliber of the tough teams such as Hayden and St. Agnes that the Little Birds had to face. Lack of height was the main factor that hamp- ered the Junior Ravens from turning in a much better record. Unable to get started the Junior Ravens lost seven of their first nine games. However, with the semester came a sudden turning point, and the Lit- tle Birds won five of their next seven games. Accepting an invitation to go to the regional tournament held in Hiawatha, Kansas, the Maur Hill cagers were first pitted against the Hiawatha In- dians. Mustering all their ability, they edged by their opponents 42-38. However, coming face to face with the Holton Tigers, the Junior Ravens humbly bowed to these semi-final contenders 56-33. With the deter- mination and spirit that is typical of Maur Hill athlet- ic teams, the Little Birds, playing for third place hon- ors, bounced back and dropped the Marysville Bull- dogs of Marysville, Kansas 36-30. This game climax- ed the Maur Hill cage season and awarded them the third place trophy for their efforts. One of the bright spots of the season was the thrilling 32-3 I victory over Lillis in the last forty-five seconds of the game. It was the first time in the school's history that Maur Hill had defeated Lillis. Other highlights were the 30-29 victory over a fighting quintet from St. Patrick's of Fremont, Neb- raska, and the 48-43 triumph over the St. Mary's Tro- jans. It was the only defeat the Trojans suffered on their home court. Bob Buhler, a junior from Maryville, Mo., led the Black and Gold in scoring with 158 points in 19 gam- es. Richard Arensberg was second with I I 8 points in 20 games. In third place was Terry Devlin with 104 points in 12 games. Next year's squad will be built around Bob Buh- ler and Hank Keeley, the only two returning letter- men. The Junior Raven reserves fared little better as lack of height was also the major factor in their losses. They ended the season with 5 wins and 10 losses. Lar- ry Rose, junior guard from Auburn, Nebraska, led the B team scoring with 92 points in 15 games. 69 BASKETBALL TEAM: Back row: (left to right)—Mr. Harold Owens, coach, Baron Johnson, Douglas Cloud, Terry Devlin, Dick Arensberg, Dick Cogan, Louis Niemann, team manager.

Tune of the Hickory Stick March 7, the opening afternoon of practice, found the Maur Hill athletic field teeming with hope- ful, young baseball enthusiasts. The entrance of Maur Hill into the newly formed Border League caused the interest in the sport to be at its highest peak since inter-scholastic baseball was revived at Maur Hill last year. TEAM MANAGERS Never partaking in the glory of the players, the managers were an indispensable part of the athletic system. Throughout the year they performed their duties faithfully, never uttering a word of complaint. They were always ready to aid an athlete in wrapping an injury or supplying him with the necessary equip- ment. Fred Messbarger and Edward Kelly handled the football equipment this year. Louie Niemann took over the manager position when basketball season arrived. Jimmy Knight arrived on the scene later in the year to act as manager for the baseball team. They did a fine job and we are greatly indebted to them for the long hours of labor which they spent in making the athletic system operate smoothly. 72 % FRESHMEN FOOTBALL: Back row: (left to right)—Harlan Berland, Robert Barron, James Hanshaw, Robert McDermott, Dick Senecal, John Smart, Dale Ostmeyer, Norman Brummel, Ronald Kessler.

Freshman Football The freshman football team played a four game schedule this year, clad in equipment furnished by the 500 Club. In terms of games won and lost the sea- son was unsuccessful as they lost all of their games. The scores were Maur Hill 0, Rockhurst 6; and Maur Hill 6, Immac- ulata 18, on our home field. Playing on the opponent's fields, the scores were Maur Hill 0, Rockhurst 18; and Maur Hill 6, Immaculata 7. Despite the fact that the season's record was not spectacular, the experience which the freshmen gain- ed will prove invaluable when they begin to participate in varsity athletics. Freshman Basketball This year's freshman basketball team had an advantage over last year's with the addition of more height. The fresh- man team was coached by John Coupe and Guy Galley, both from St. Bene- dict's College. The Junior Ravens had a season of nine wins and five losses. They won from Effingham twice, Burlington, Lillis, Chris- tian Brothers, and Potter twice; they lost to Atchison twice, Christian Brothers, and Leavenworh. In the Atchison Tournament, they had no trouble romping Potter's B team 43 to 23. In the semi-finals, the Little Birds lost a heart breaker to Leaven- worth, 21 to 23. They then captured third place honors by defeating Horton 29 to 26. 73 M Club Reactivated this year, the M Club rapidly swung into action. A set of rules concerning the wear- ing of letter awards was drawn up and enforced. Plans for the M Club dance were made. Officers for the following year are as follows: president, Bill Roth; vice-president, Bob Buhler; and secretary- treasurer, Leo Stueve. The following students earned the privilege of wearing the 'M , the mark of distinction around the Maur Hill campus. Football lettermen: Terry Devlin, Richard Arensberg, Larry Kelly, John Meier, Bill Mor- ley, Bob Sauer, Bernard Seeger, LeRoy Sutlief, Mike Boyce, Ed Halpin, Gene Sullivan, Vic Wiesner, and Dick Cogan, seniors; and Francis Beeby, Tom Brun- gardt, Bob Buhler, Larry Giller, Joe Lardner, Bii! Roth, and Leo Stueve, Juniors. Those receiving stud- ent manager letters were Fred Messbarger and Ed- ward Kelly. Basketball lettermen: Dick Arensberg, Terry Devlin, Micky Flynn, Richard Cogan, Ed Hal- pin, and Bernard Seeger, seniors; Bob Buhler and Bar- on Johnson, juniors; and Hank Keeley, sophomore.

Friendly Foeman on the Field For those who were not engaged in varsity ath- letics the intramural system gave the rest of the students an opportunity to participate in what is vit- al to every boy, athletic competition. Not only did it provide many hours of fun and exercise, but it also helped to mold into the student that spirit of com- petition that is vitally necessary for success in later life. The intramural program fostered a spirit of in- ter-class rivalry which led the classes to vie with one another in the attainment of greater things for their respective classes. Wihout competition the human mind sinks into a lackadaisical spirit of indifference. Many of the stars of varsity athletics first learn- ed the fundamentals of their respective sports in the sphere of intramural activity. The sports of football, basketball, and softball dominated the intramural scene, although competit- ions were sponsored in many other activities ranging from tennis to chess. Almost every member of the student body participated in some part of the intra- mural program. The students owe a sincere vote of thanks to Father Gerald Mesmer, O.S.B., who so capably man- aged all of the intramural activities. 74 INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL CHAMPS: Top: A LEAGUE: (left to right)—Kenneth Schultz, Jock Bums, Froncis Herfkens, Fronds Fanning, captain, Paul Garcia, John Harrington. Bottom: B LEAGUE: Back row: Mark McGuire, Kenneth Lanspo, Ronald Thebert. Front row: John Lane, Jomes Montgomery, Jock Hov- orka, captain, Hugo Bremer. Intramural Football The six man touch football program was smaller but better this year, with approximately sixty-five players taking part. Two leagues, A and B includ- ing nine teams in all, were formed, with close races in each league. Francis Fan- ning led his team, the Saints, to the championship in the A league, after beating the Midgets, captained by Her- bert Bindel. This was an undefeated sea- son for the Saints. In the B league, the Pandas, cap- tained by Jack Hovorka, were also un- defeated. The Giants, captained by Bob Kern, almost upset the Pandas in the final game. The Giants came within one point of upsetting the Pandas s apple cart; the game ended in a fourteen to thirteen victory. On Sunday, October 30, the Saints, champs of the A league, met the Pan- das, champs of the B league, in the third annual Persimmon Bowl classic played on Bertrand field. The Saints emerged victors on the lon end of the 33-6 encounter. The fast moving Saints team left the Pandas in a bewildered daze. The Pandas tried to fight back in the third quarter, but their efforts were in vain; the Saints had acquired a lead which was overwhelming; although the Pandas did score a lone tally. Fanning was outstanding for the Saints with three touchdowns, while Montgomery had one for the Pandas. Out of the three bowl games played, this is the only one taken by the A league champs. The winners of each league received T-shirts signifying their supremacy, from Father Gerald Mesmer, O. S. B., the high commissioner of the program. 75 INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL CHAMPS: Top: Big Ten : (left to right)—Mike Mooney, Francis Beeby, captain, John Comes, Ed Barry, John Harrington. Bottom: Big Six : Elmer Bergman, Gerald Denk, captain, Elmer Fangman, Ronald Kessler, Edward Heiman. Intramural Basketball With a large turnout of over ninety boys, intramural basketball had a fine season. There were two leagues, the Big Ten, and the Big Six. Due to the large number of teams in each league there was only one round. In the Big Ten it was a hard fight with speculation running high until in the vital game the Panthers, led by Mike Mooney, defeated the Rams in an over- time 12 to 10. It was a battle right to the end with both teams fighting their hearts out for the championship. The Panthers ended the season with a 7-1 record with the Rams coming in second. In the Big Six the Saints led by Elmer Fangman took the championship in a spirited battle with the Colts. The Saints ended the season with a 4-1 record. An All-Star team was chosen by a poll. There were ten players chosen. They were: Centers: Jack McCarthy and Rene Bada; Forwards: Frank Herfkens, Jack O'Connell, James Montgomery and John Harrington; Guards: Tom Killeen, Norman Brummel, Bill Fleming and Joe Lardner. In the beginning of the season, no one knew who the champions would be in the Big Ten. For a while the Rams, Panthers and Spoofhounds were unde- feated. Then the Rams and Panthers dropped one each and the Spoofhounds dropped two. The winner of the battle between the Panthers and Rams would be the champions and as stated above the champs were the Panthers. The champions of each league were awarded intramural T-shirts by Father Gerald Mesmer, O. S. B. 76 500 CLUB At right are pictured the officers of the 500 Club, which has done so much in the past year to pro- mote Maur Hill athletics. They are from left to right: Mr. Bob Vogt, secretary: Mr. Chet Lemon, presi- dent; and Mr. Ed Kelly, treasurer. Mr. Joseph Carrigan, vice-presi dent, was not present when the pic- ture was taken. The students are sincerely grateful for all that has been done by this organization. ATHLETIC BANQUET Held in the St. Benedict’s Parish Hall, the banquet was given for the football squad and their mothers by the 500 Club. The food was de- lectable and the main speaker, Mr. Moon Mullins, gave a very inspir- ing address. Mr. Gene Sullivan, sports editor of the News Press and Gazette in St. Joseph, acted as master of ceremonies, keeping the guests laughing with his witticisms throughout the evening. PARENTS' CLUB The object of this organization was to foster a spirit of co-oper- ation between the faculty of Maur Hill and the parents of the students of the school. At right are the of- ficers of the club. From right to left they are: Mr. Matt Sittenauer, vice- president; Mr. Joe Clark, presi- dent; Mrs. Theodore DeBauge, sec- retary-treasurer; and Father Linus McManaman, O.S.B., faculty repre- sentative. 77 PATRONS Mr. and Mrs. J.
