Maur Hill High School - Maurite Yearbook (Atchison, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1955 volume:

t • t ■ ALMA MATER t? ne«unct We, the Editors of the 1955 Maurite, proudly present to you our Principal, our profs, and our pals — and a finer group of gentlemen have never smiled from the pages of a yearbook. We have tried, also, to catch in action some of our big moments of this past year that you may relive them with us. The ups and downs of classroom and campus life, the carefree evenings of our dances, the precious moments of retreat, the joyous hours of glee club and band, the exciting games and sports are all here. . . especially the thrill to end all thrills, the history-making undefeated football team. These are truly our footprints in the sands of time. Just follow our signposts and see for yourself. 6 Personnel Administration.................10 Faculty........................12 Class Scenes...................14 Seniors........................17 Juniors........................31 Sophomores.....................37 Freshmen.......................43 Activities Dances..........................52 Homecoming......................54 Music...........................56 Dramatics.......................60 Religion........................62 Tatler..........................64 Maurite.........................66 Athletics Football........................68 Basketball......................75 Baseball .......................81 Intramurals.....................83 Patrons.........................86 Advertisements..................88 Everyone can remember registering and unpacking that sweltering Sept. 1. A BOVE LEFT: The Buschers register their three sons in the office. RIGHT: The Steingreabers help son Dick get settled in his new home. Having found him an inspiration for their spiritual, scholastic, and athletic aspirations, the seniors of 1955 respectfully dedicate this MAURITE to Father Lambert Dehner, O. S. B. , priest, coach, and friend of American and Mex- ican youth. Father coached Maur Hill's Junior Ravens in 1944, 1946, and 1947. While stationed in Mexico City Padre Lambert opened a new era of futbol americano by his leadership and sportsmanship as head mentor of Mex- ico's National Politecnic Institute. Twice his team won the national championship and three times he was nominated Coach of the Year . His five year record at the Politecnic In- stitute was 37 wins, 6 losses, and one tie. Now retired because of health and work- ing at St. Benedict's College library. Father was honored by Mexican sportswriters and football fans last fall as the man who had done most for football in Mexico. September 17, his name-day, was specially dedicated to his honor by the Mexican press. REV. LAMBERT DEHNER O.S.B. Teacher, Coach, and Friend rfclmuttitnatioti ? iccdfy RT. REV. CUTHBERT McDONALD, O. S. B. , A. M. President of Maur Hill Administration REV. DANIEL O'SHEA, O. S. B. , A. M. Principal of Maur Hill Our smiling Irish Eyed prin- cipal for the past two years, Fr. Daniel was forever aglow during the '54-'55 school term. From our small problems to the last minute preparations for a student activity, he has never tired or flinched. Father represents a lot to our school, for he kept it running smoothly at all times. Besides these admini- strative duties, he taught Latin IV and typing. Fr. Daniel will always be remembered in our prayers for his helpful and guiding hand. God Bless You, Fr. Daniel. THE STUDENT BODY WAS HONORED on September 26 by the visit of the Rt. Rev. Bernard Kaelin (above center), the abbot primate of the Benedictine order. Talking with him are Abbot Cuthbert McDonald of St. Benedict's abbey and Fr. Daniel O'Shea, principal of Maur Hill.

Shea, Barrett, and Konzem. TWO NEW COURSES, French and Speech, were added to the cur- riculum this year. Several classes were divided into two sections be- tween the boarders and dayhops because of the increased enrollment. The faculty also received a new addi- tion, boosting its total to twelve. Audio-visual aids were used in several classes on a large scale compared to past years. A tape recorder was found very useful in music and French classes. Hopes for three-speed record player are still hopes, but all in all a gradual advance in technique is being made as Maur Hill continues to provide a Christian education for those who are interested. SPEECH: Purslow (CENTER) records Reinert's argument in a practice debate as Barrett, Kelly, and Farrell wait their turns at rebuttal. 15 BROTHER LOUIS -Gardener Behind the Scenes MR.

Sister Esther is absent from the picture. Charles McCarthy, Pres., Tom Senecal, V. Pres., and Tom Barrett, Sec. Seniors! What magic in the word! The open-sesame to the future, we feel happy and confident, yet, a little sad that this last year at the Hill has slipped through the fingers of Time so soon. We hope, as we look back, that we have left a good record to live after us. That we'll be remembered in football, few can doubt. Bowing out with the undefeated and record-break- ing season were regulars Barrett Caraher, Ruhlman, Zeller, Tim and Tom Senecal, Flynn, Purslow, Sny- der, Rodriguez. McCarthy, Flynn, and the two Senecals also closed out three memorable basketball seasons, and it will be some time before anyone equals Purslow's and Flynn's four year performances on the diamond. According to faculty consensus. the class of '55 was just as outstand- ing scholastically. Though lacking any towering genius, they had few in the Jug and boasted the highest average of any graduating group yet, with Mc- Carthy, the Senecals, Snyder, and Zeller setting the pace. The Senecals also edited the Tatler through one of its finest years and with Racette, Kon- zem, and Schrick formed a powerful band nucleus for four years. Zeller, Spiegel, Racette, and Borserine pro- duced the yearbook, and Farrell won the city Voice of Democracy contest. The past is gone and the future beckons. May those who follow imitate and surpass our achievements; may we continue to develop our talents as worthy representatives of the ideals in- stilled at Maur Hill. Auf Wiedersehen!

Pres., Gerald Wickey, Pres., and Ed Begley, Sec. Juniors! With their eyes fixed on the not-so-distant goal of Seniors, these men have made a respectable, if not brilliant, record in most fields of endeavor. Fifteen gained experience for next year besides having fun this year by giving their best in football, and seven--Begley, Clarkin, Filbert, Riley, Trompeter, Wills, and Wickey --earned the coveted letter. Being pro- ficient also in basketball, ten took their places on the courts and Clarkin, Vogt, and Wickey earned berths on the Varsity top ten. The Basketball B squad suffered a real loss when Kocour was injured in a hunting accident. Representing the speaking talents of the class, Lyons entered the Voice of Democracy contest. He was also sports editor for the Tatler and Clar- kin did yeoman work as news editor of the paper. Other regular writers were Underwood, Wickey, Weixelman, and Morrisey. We're proud of you and your re- cords fellows, and there's no group we'd rather see succeed us than you. 1 So we say, Au Revoir and good luck. p C 'll 1 1� Edward Begley Atchison, Kansas Virgil Bindel Atchison, Kansas Ben Cruise P« Dteilin8 Hays, Kansas Junction City.

Sophomores! The class that will no doubt give the world the singing stars of tomorrow as they are more inclined to talent in voice than any other line. Twen- ty sets of sweet vocal cords contribute to the melody of the Glee Club and two more belong to the band. Nine are schol- astics and contribute to the choir. Keep- ing up with the rest of the classes, the sophs place nineteen in the Servers So- ciety. Twelve struggled through the foot- ball season, with Siebenmorgan spark- ing them as the only letterman. On the basketball court they did equally well as five remained out, and two, muff and McCollum, were among the top ten on the varsity. Budding journalists numbered four on the Tatler and Bob Marsicek drew the cartoons. Thompson represented his class in the Voice of Democracy con- test. Though statistically they are not the smartest group in school with only nine on the honor roll, they are far from fools as they begin to realize their mistakes of freshman days and look forward to Juniorhood. They should do Maur Hill proud. Best of luck to a promising class.

Bill Enright, V. Pres., and Joe Begley, Sec. Freshmen--the lads with the eager look! And what restless and noisy bed- bugs! But slowly the exuberant energy is siphoned off into more proper chan- nels as the awakened adolescents face up to the business end of a flashlight and the more serious problems of board- ing school. Jug? What's that? Oh, a personal introduction to the principal? That'll be nice. HA! The largest class in school annals, they dominated both the jug and the hon- or roll. Among the eleven who weather- ed the exams and Father John's book reports with honors, Hanlon, Anderson, Steichen, and Huss headed the list. Small, but adept and ambitious, twenty went out for football and recorded a win- ning season for the frosh. An identical number swarmed over the basketball court, led by Konen, R. Dreiling, and Pur slow. Matching the other three classes server for server, they have nineteen members in the St. John Berchmans Society. They also add nineteen hes- itant and changing voices to the Glee Club, and seven do their musical bit in the band. The scholasticate claims eleven freshmen. Whether the class of '58 will wallow in mediocrity or with yet hidden talent rise to shine in studies, sports, and other activities, it is still too early to predict reliably. The crystal ball is a bit foggy. Winston Anderson Atchison, Kansas Eugene Bals Crete.

Some of their duties include cleaning their locker room and study hall and taking care of the chapel. The scholastics also sing the Masses, play a large roll in the editing of school publications, and participate energetically in all school activities ..........except dances, of course.

The enemy is burned in effigy while the crowd cheers. The spirit held out through the next day and the mighty Ravens closed an undefeated season by trouncing Seneca, 26-6. 54 THE QUEEN AND HER COURT The Remembered by All BRINGING A VERY SUCCESSFUL season to a close, the Ravens en- joyed one of the best homecomings in the his- tory of Maur Hill. Not since 1945 has Maur Hill enjoyed such a good season as that of 1954. Besides this, the '54 team was ranked in the top 10 in the state.

Camillus Wurtz, the Maur Hill band performed at many assemblies through- out the school year. The lively group of musicians also added enthusiasm to the pep assemblies and basket- ball games during the year. Racette, Konzem, and the Senecal twins have been the backbone of the band for four years, and the first two also played with the collegians of S. B. C. last year. This Page Sponsored by FR.

Camillus Wurtz, provided fine enter- tainment for all the students. This being his first year at Maur Hill, Fr. Camillus did a wonderful job leading the Glee Clubbers in song at the Christ- mas program and at three other performances during the year. OCTET BESIDES THE GLEE CLUB, Fr. Camillus al- so organized the Octet, a group of the more talent- ed singers, who appeared at several assemblies throughout the year. This Page Sponsored by RUNYAN JEWELERS 513 Commercial G. Lyons, R.

Daniel are Mark Flynn, Vice President; Dick Delaney, President; and Bill Farrell, Secretary - Treasurer. Student Council The task of asking for a night out or an extra half hour in the Roost fell to these men since they held the office of Student Council. The little jobs like decorating the gym for a dance and taking down the laundry to the post office proved to be real work before the the year was over, but ever faithful to their campaign promises, they persevered. Progress Pomes With Foreign Students These students have come from foreign lands to get an education at Maur Hill. This is proof of the ever far reaching reputation of our school. Although some of them have difficulty with the English language, they take the same courses as the other students and soon become very familiar with our language and customs of living in the U. S. 58 FOREIGN STUDENTS: J. Ortega, A. Ortega, F. Reyes, E. Garcia, J. Benedict, R. Segovia, I. Cadena, W. Penunuri, O. Schmal, W. Denton, and W. Thompson. She no snow like so in Mexico, eh, Senor? Honor St ndents These are the boys who have distinguished themselves in school work. For some, earning this pos- ition on the honor roll was easy, for others hard, but they have all earned the recognition. They have made the best use of their time and deserve a vote of thanks for up- holding the traditions of Maur Hill. Gold medal winners for highest average last year were Fred Jehle, Charles Underwood, and Charles McCarthy. The list contains only eight day students: four fresh, three juniors, one senior. Good Leaders JUNIOR AND SENIOR scholars include M. Burns, J. Moritz, D. Morrisey, C. Underwood, L. Smith, R. Steingreaber, R. Vogt, R. Snyder, M. Zeller, J. Clarkin, P. Dreiling, M. Flynn, B. Tremmel, R. Hasenkamp, Tim Senecal, Tom Senecal, C. Mc- Carthy, A. Racette. FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES who made the semester honor roll were, LEFT TO RIGHT: M. Miller, G. Kramer, W. Anderson, J.

Much hidden talent was uncovered by Father through the plays of this year. John Bongers, David Rogers, Bob Marsicek, and Mike Gaughan deserve some recognition for building the sets and making up the actors. The group presented Afraid of the Dark and The Telltale Heart on Oct. 27. They follow- ed this with Submerged on Nov. 22, Our I_ady's Juggler on Dec. 16, and Retribution on Feb. 10. Brother,Orchid, a three act play containing a cast of eleven, was presented on March 30-31. From the looks of things, dra- matics will stay in the spotlight for a long time due to the efforts of Fr. Wilfred and all the stu- dents who have given, and will con- tinue to give, their co-operation. CAREFUL WITH THE GREASE PAINT, says Ekart as Rempe, Rogers, and Gaughan smear him with make-up. DEATH COMES TO THE VILLAIN, portrayed by Hasenkamp, at the hands of Goracke.

WILFRED EXPLAINS the lines in Brother Orchid to Lyons. Bongers and Marsicek. Spiegel, Ekart, Newman, and Hasenkamp. Mike Gaughan, Organist Chaplain FOR THE PAST two years, Fr. Alphonse has ser- ved the spiritual needs of the students as chaplain of Maur Hill. Under his direction the National Communion Crusade was promoted by the students here at school and the communions increased tremendously. Besides being vocational director at Maur Hill, Father taught Religion IV, the Five Encyclicals, Physiology, and Biology. He also served as assistant coach for the Jun- ior Ravens undefeated football team. Fortunate are we to have such a man at the helm. The scholastics contributed a great deal to the High Masses by joining their voices in the choir which is so ably trained and directed by Fr. Camillus. They also sang a new Mass in honor of St. Anthony to replace the former Mass XV. Mike Gaughan donated his assistance as organist. Fr. Alphonse Berning Chaplain 62 Retreat EVERY STUDENT REALIZING his weaknesses and faults must take time out from his regular life at Maur Hill and en- ter into a state of recollection and medi- tation. This was indeed done wholeheart- edly by the student body as they entered into the annual retreat under the direction of Father Arnold Vetter, C. P. Father Arnold is a Passionist priest from the monastery in St. Paul, Kansas, and is well known in the South for his mis- sions and retreats. He was very helpful in his conferences and instructions during his three day stay at Maur Hill. St. John Berchmans Society ASSISTING WITH the Holy Sacrifice on the altar were those students who became members of the St. John Berchman's Society. Only those students who were enrolled in the society are given the privilege to serve Mass. OFFICERS WERE Myron Zeller (treasurer). Father Alphonse (director), Tim Senecal (president), and Charles McCarthy (vice-president). FATHER ARNOLD VETTER, C.P. Retreat Master John Clatkin News Editor Gary Lyons Sports Editor The Some of Oor News-- Tom Senecal Editor-in-chief Attractive makeup, interesting articles, and sparkling headlines and pictures made the Tatler one of the best high school papers in America this year. Ratings like Medalist and All- Catholic attest to the fact. Tom Sen- ecal climaxed four years on the news staff as Editor-in-chief, and John Clarkin more than proved his ability as the hard working news editor. Tim Senecal handled features for his second year while beginner Gary Lyons develop- ed into a competent sports editor. Despite a shortage of experienced reporters, the Tatler came through the year very well under the supervision of Fr. Harold. Wilton Thompson and Mark Flynn, circulation managers, made the Tatler known far and wide, at least as far as the Mount, and Charlie McCarthy sold ads to help pay the bills.

The young Birds were voted tenth in the state in the final Assoc- iated Press poll, and Mark Flynn, halfback, received honorable men- tion on the All-State and All-Cath- olic All-American teams. September prospects had point- ed to a strong backfield of seven lettermen with a light inexperienced line of only two vets. Yet by opening game it was apparent there were enough newcomers to fill the breach adequately. Three games later it was obvious that Coach Galley, with the strong support of Fr. Alphonse coaching the line, had developed a great team with the stern will to win. Competition grew stiffer, but the Ravens rolled merrily on their winning way, mauling the three top teams in the strong Jayhawk League --Hayden, Holton, and Haskell-- by an 84-20 total and snapping Ef- fingham's 25 game undefeated streak in a 34-7 thriller. The Homecoming rout of Seneca climaxed the three months of unrelenting training and bruising effort. Neither fans nor players will forget the 97 degree heat at Lillis, when beginners Clarkin, Filbert, and Siebenmorgan came to the fore. Everyone developed fast, and the Birds probably reached their peak against Holton, with Flynn and Fil- bert pitching, catching, and run- ning superbly. Then there were Flynn's 55-yard punt return and diagonal passes to Tom Senecal at Effingham, Pur slow's bulldozing, Rodriquez' place kicks, and Flynn's defense at Hayden, not to mention 68 THE TEAM takes a break during the Shawnee game.

They didn't ever throw in the towel until the final buzzer went off, even though they were on the short end of the score half the time Coach Galley's charges were suffering from only one ailment, no height. Though the Ravens posted the shortest team in the District Tournament, they easily won third place, being edged out of the finals by tall Hiawatha, 47-43. Thrills were a plenty as the Ravens, regardless of their handicap, plowed right into the thick of the game and more than once showed their fighting spirit by coming through with an un- expected victory. To mention a few. there were the Christian Bros, game in which Maur Hill came from behind and won on Flynn's free throw after the final buzzer had sounded, the two times the Ravens trounced a much taller Immaculata quintet, and the St. Patrick's game when, in the fourth quarter, the Galley crew came from behind to win by 12 points. These and many other electrifying performances highlighted the Junior Raven basketball season. Senior cagers Flynn, McCarthy, Tom and Tim Senecal, and Snyder have played their last game of basketball for Maur Hill. Flynn leaves as the proud earner of three letters while the other four have two monograms to their credit. The team loses four starters with only 76 one regular, John Clarkin returning. Tom Senecal racks up two points against Immaculata. INDIVIDUAL.

Too Short to Star, But Tall Enough to Shine Coming to Maur Hill in 1952 from Victoria, Kansas, Coach Guy Galley has since proved himself as an able coach and friend of all the students. He has led the Ravens through three success- ful seasons in football, basketball, and baseball since his arrival. His overall record for football is 19 won, 4 lost, and 1 tied. This includes an undefeated season this year. In basketball he has coached a winning team 40 times while losing only 21. His 1954 record was 17-4 the best in the history of Maur Hill. Over a two year period, his baseball teams have won 13 and lost 11. Last year, the 1954 season, the little Birds took second place in the Border League with only Wyandotte, state champs, ahead of them. _ 77 Coach Guy Galley Larry Muff Center John Clarkin Forward Mark FI Guard Pa e Sponsored by h°Ward Motors y -rOodg.-Plymouth Dw|er B TEAM, FRONT ROW: B.

Coach Galley couldn't spend much time with them and consequently they did not receive the necessary training. Considering this drawback, the Raven Reserves did fairly well, win- ning 8 of their 14 games. Jerry Wickey broke the century mark with 111 points and Tom McCollum poured in 98.

Only those students who do not participate in varsity sports are allowed to compete in these friendly intramural contests. Fr.
