To many here' at McBride, Father William Morris filled this unoccupied place in their minds. Father Morris's keen understanding of boys, his helpful suggestions to those who required or sought his advice, and his sincerity in teaching, won innumerable friends for him during his comparatively short stay at McBride. A former McBride graduate, and ordained in Fribourg, Switzerland, in 1938, Father Morris came to McBride in January of 1940 and left last March for Lima, Peru, to join other members of the Society in the field of mission- ary work. The Senior class of 1941 in a vain attempt to show our gratitude for his services, are proud to dedicate this issue of The Colonnade to one so deserv- ing of the honor. We wish Father Morris all the success possible in his new Held of work, and sincerely hope that some day he will return to the portals of McBride. D e cl i c a t i o n Rev. William Morris, S M ww me , Gfldmbzisfrafiozz His Excellency JOHN JosEPH GLENNON, D. D. Archbishop of St. Louis The senior class of 1941 Wishes to extend a token of thanks to Archbishop John Joseph Glennon, for his untir- ing interest in McBride. His efforts expended in the field of Catholic education and his cooperation in our school activities will long re- main a memory with us. Reverend ALFRED G. THoMsoN Superintendent The senior class of 1941 wishes to repay a debt of gratitude to Father Thomson for his undying efforts in their behalf throughout their years at McBride. His interest and guidance will always be re- membered by them. Page Three CAE GOZOIZIZQ 6 Hmefew Page Four MESSAGE NK My dear Graduates: A At a crucial time when the world is still torn between strife and uncer- tainty, you are leaving the portals of your Alma Materg a time when your highly prized legacy of American Democracy is being challenged without and Within. How you can best meet this world in the present emergency is a question for you to solve. Some of you naturally feel inclined to serve your country by enlisting in the service, others by joining in the long-range program of National De- fense at home. It is therefore a question of service that you are now called upon to meet, in the office, in the factory, in the laboratory, in the classroom or in the military ranks. Your happiness will be the more certain, the more you are able to bring into your Work, the touch of the higher values in life. May I therefore urge you above all to remain true to your First Prin- ciples, learnt at the feet of your religious teachers, Brothers of Mary, who wish to pass on to you their sacred heritage, of filial piety to-the Mother of God. Go, then, with a strong Faith, into your various walks of life, confident under Our Blessed Mother's care and guidance, to meet this challenge of uncertainty and strife.

The plot centers around the life of Little John Sarto tFrank Floodj, a ruthless gang- ster, who returns from ten years in prison only to f-ind that his throne has been usurped by the Gimp fJoseph Chickj, and that he is to be taken for a ride. He escapes his would be murderers and takes a refuge with the Lit- tle Brothers of the Flowers, a community of monks who, as Little John puts it, do nothing but pray and herd posies. Brother Nasturti- um fFrancis Naumanj , ex-prizefighter, Broth- er Hollyhock fRobert Buelt and Louis Kwiat- kowskij, the community physician, and Abbot Jonquil fJohn Castulik and Tom Vogentha- lerj, show Little John a kindness and a way of life he never knew possible, Brother Orchid's continual use of slang and his propensity for such antics as playing Ale- xander's Ragtime Band on the chapel organ startle the brothers just a little, but they ac- cept him for what he is and he finds happiness with them. His chance to do something big comes when his former cronies attempt to break into the flower m a r k e t, which is the brothers' sole means of existence. Fat D u t c h y tJohn Litteken and Paul Gensertj, the dumb, ge- nial bartender, is the only one of Orchid's old friends who remains faithful to him in his new life. How Brother Orchid handled the mobsters and becomes an unsung hero make the climax of the play. Feise. Bro. Frank Bischof Gfcfivifies GLEE CLUB McBride's Glee Club, under the capable di- rection of Brother Francis Mueller, who has served in that capacity since 1936, has again brought distinction as a choral group to Mc- Bride. Not limiting themselves to singing, the mem- bers of the Glee Club participated in their third operetta, entitled The Masked Baritone. The characters were chosen from the Glee Club members, who were guided by the ex- perienced coaching of Brother Mueller and Brother Louis Schuster. The conflict of Reggie with Mortimer, a highly cultured man, who in reality gets ev- ery word and every thing mixed up, the clash- ing of the station owner, Joe of SOS, with the shrewd business man, Cappy Ricks, drive this plot to an amazing ending. Other affairs in which the Glee Club took part were the Fontbonne Festival on May 3, on Parent-Teachers' Night, and the graduation exercises held at Blessed Sacrament Church. COLONNADE All American honors was awarded by the National Scholastic Press Association to The Colormade for the third consecutive year. Exceptionally good was the rating given to the editorial page, while the news and sport pages received anexcellent rating. The paper was well commended on its news and sport coverage, interesting editorials, feature stories, special columns, general make-up, and head- lines. Editor-in-chief of this year's publication was Herbert Gebhart, who exercised complete con- trol over the editorial page. The news pages were under the direction of Hilary Mattingly, who was assisted by Tom Finan, a junior and ace feature story writer. Edward Mee and John Gray were in charge of the sport page, and the Green Flashes column. Don Byrne, copyreader, was kept busy with his column Ole Fateful Sez . William Noonan, sopho- more, supplied humor and gossip for the pa- per with his Ravings at Random. John Ar- chibald, after winning the school cartoon contest, was awarded the position of staff car- toonist. The circulation of the editions was in charge of Victor Gazzolo. August Giordano occupied the office of Ad Manager. Other writers for the publications were, John Meyer, John Morley, Paul Gensert, Dick Holden, Lawrence Willett, and Jolm Blake, seniors, Glennon Dorlac, Ray Jurgens, and Jack Shortal, juniors, William Noonan, Paul Seivers, and Michael Delaney, sophomores. The last issue of the paper was edited by the Junior staff, in order that the seniors might prepare this book. Page Nineteen fha G0!0lZIZ6i 6 Members of the debate team: Front: J. Meyer, Gray, Rankin, Mattingly, Byrne. Rear: Gensert, Gebhart. DEBATING Resolved: That the Power of the Federal Government should be increased? This ques- tion provided the McBride debaters with one of the timeliest issues ever argued by any fo- rensic group. Problems facing our government officials at the present time frequently pre- sented themselves during the season. The debaters were under the supervision of Brother Victor Naegele, who replaced Brother Frank Bischof as coach. During the season the team participated in two tournaments and in two leagues. In the St. Charles tournament the debaters met with little success, since these were the First debates the squad had ever participated in. Two weeks later, at the St. Louis U. High tournament, the squad showed great improvement, winning half of their debates. In the Missouri State League and the Catholic League the debaters took part in nineteen engagements, eleven negative and eight aiiirmative. Although the season may not have produced as many victories as could be desired, the de- baters believed that the benefits derived from the experience far outweighed any defeat. ORCHESTRA The orchestra this year comprised twenty members and was under the direction of Brother Charles Sweeny. Playing both classical and popular music throughout the year the orchestra made spe- cial appearances at the operetta, The Masked Baritone, and at the annual play. Victor Gaz- zolo, William Petterson and James Brady will be lost to the orchestra by graduation. Page Twenty Ylinetem ORATORY Hilary Mattingly gained oratorical suprem- acy in the school when he won the school con- test sponsored by the Atwell T. Lincoln Post of the American Legion. Other contestants and the titles of their ora- tions were: Robert Buelt, Voting, the Safe- guard of the Constitution , Don Byrne, One- third of a Nation Versus the Constitution , Joseph McNicholas, The Constitution and the Preservation of American Liberties , and John Meyer, The Constitution, Fortress of Free- dom. For this victory, Mattingly was awarded a bronze medal, and the right to participate in the North St. Louis District contest, where he won third place. In the Junior Division, Tom Finan emerged victor in the school contest, after competing against Glennon Dorlac and Charles Faust. Tom also won third place in the annual Ma- rianist Oratory Contest. The title of his ora- tion was Catholic Social Action and Indecent Literature. As in previous years all orators were under the supervision of Brother Harold Huels who has proven himself only too worthy of the po- ' ELOCUTION H For the iirst time in several years, the sec- ond-year students, who won places in the freshmen elocution contest as first-year stu- dents, were unable to defend their laurels as sophomores in the sophomore elocution con- test. Last year's winners, Paul Sievers, in the humorous division, and Richard Palazola in the serious division, were replaced by Donald Bonfa, and Benjamin Vilbertg Palazola, how- ever, who reached the Final contest, put up a stiff battle and was defeated by a narrow mar- gm. Donald Bonfa was awarded first place for his rendition of The Deathbed of a Traitorf' Vilbert won second place with the selection Da Besta Frandf' Participants in the final contest, in addition to the winners were: Richard Palazola, John Muldoon and Charles Heil. Finals in the freshman elocution contest were held on the afternoon of May 13 after the contestants had been narrowed down to six by an elimination contest held on April 30. The ultimate winners in the two divisions, humorous and serious, into which the contest- ants were grouped, were Thomas Fitzgerald with the selection The Volunteer Organist , and Houston Harrison with a humorous selec- tion, The Owl Critic . Both contests were under the supervision of Brother Eugene Janson. sition.

TRACK For the first time since the season of 1937 when the Colonnaders were track champs of the Prep League, the McBride field, and cin- der squads, both senior and junior, have pro- duced season records that are free from un- pleasant memories of too many and too crush- ing defeats. ' b During the course of the season, seven sen- ior and junior meets were held, all dual meets with the exception of a triangular encounter with U. City and St. Louis. The speed and spring of the Irish enabled them to win three, lose two, tie one, and to finish second in the triangular engagement. The Micks opened their season with a smash- ing rout of Clayton 141W-63Mg their next vic- tory was an easy 123-76 walk away against Central, to climax a successful season, the Irish defeated St. Louis 1131A-z-103172. In a dual meet, the Micks scored a 108172-108V2 draw with Kirkwood. Defeats were registered at the hands of the State Champions, University Cityg at the hands of Normandy, champions of the Chillicothe Relays, and at the hands of C.B.C. The brunt of the work was borne by a group of determined and speedy distance men, who compiled a record of having won 31 distance races out of a possible 35 in both divisions. Outstanding individuals were Don Ritchie, de- feated in but one race out of 14, Larry Willett, who ran 10 dead heats with Doc and who took a third place in the indoor State half- mileg and Ed Dierker, defeated but twice in fourteen races in the junior division and only once in his field specialty, the broad-jump. Others who contributed their share to the suc- cess of this group were John Blake, Bert Mos- singhoff, Charles Zeman, Justin Knapp, Vasco Cortopassi, and Jim Bloss. Gflflzlezfics BASEBALL To date, the varsity baseball squad has gar- nered six victories and has suffered four de- feats. In Prep League competition the Irish own two victories, a 4-3 win over C.B.C. and a 8-6 victory over Central Catholic, and have lost but one, a 4-3 loss to South Side Catholic. In non-league competition, the Colonnaders have maintained a better 50006 average, win- ning four and losing three. Wins were scored over Roosevelt, Coyle, Western Military, and Blewett. The Colonnaders opened their non-league season on April 2 with a rain-shortened game against Blewett. Following this they lost two successive encounters to Soldang a 6-4 tilt on April 7 and a 8-3 encounter on April 14. Then the Micks journeyed to Roosevelt on April 21 to nose out the Rough Riders in a close contest by the score of 2-1. Since then, the team has crushed Eugene Coyle 18-7, Western Military 25-6 and Blewett 4-3. The only other setback was a 10-3 loss at the hands of the Normandy Vikings. The Irish squad is made up mainly of mem- bers of last year's championship Aubuchon- Denison American Legion team. Members of the Aubuchon squad now playing with the Colonnaders include: Norbert Kayser, Eugene McCabe, and Ted Dubowski, infieldersg Virgil N3-UITIHUII, Outfieldefi Tom Cohen, catcher, and William Conley, pitcher. The remaining regulars of this year's nine are: Monk Meyer, Bill Nonnenkamp, Paul Ritchie, and Bob Kle- vorn. The offensive department of the Colonnad- ers is led at the time by Monk Meyer, and Tom Cohen, each maintaining an average ap- proaching the 400'Zn mark. Junior track team members: Rear: Brother George Scherrer, Andrews, Muldoon, Nugent, Gorke, Zell- man, Boeger, Vilbert. Second row: Seagrass, Dolan, Tenge, Burk, Vilbert, Burghoff, Rauschenbach, Knapp, Granicke. First row: Martin, Morrison, Zeman, Ga- nahl, Gibbons, Moehlman, Dierker. Page Twenty-one 626 GOLOIZIZQ 6 BASKETBALL Led by Captain Danny Miller, All-District Guard, the 1941 McBride quintet won the Dis- trict Championship for the second year in a row. Finishing in a tie for third place with C.B.C. in the Prep League with a record of three victories and five defeats, the Orange and Green showed their customary fighting spirit. The Micks, highly touted at the time, were upset by Ben Blewett in the first round of the Normandy Christmas Tournament, 21-20, but came back to trounce Kirkwood, South Side, and C.B.C. in that order to gain the Consola- tion trophy. In the State Tournament, the Micks were eliminated in the first round by Benton High of St. Joseph, the ultimate win- ner of the title, in a hard fought game, 26-23 The team ended the season with a record of 16 wins and 9 losses. Starting the season in non-league competi- tion, the Colonnaders won four of their first five games, gaining victories over Soldan, 35- 16, Southwest, 22-18, Beaumont, 26-16, and Central, 20-18, losing to Roosevelt, 35-33. The three victories in League play were gained over St. Louis, 22-21, Central Catholic, 30-26, and South Side, 36-33, while the Micks were subdued by C.B.C. twice, 28-19, and 21- 19, Central Catholic, 28-26, St. Louis, 21-20, and South Side, 28-23. Victories over St. Charles, C.B.C., and Web- ster Groves, gave the Micks their District title. Dan Miller gained a position on the All-Dis- trict team and both he and Klevorn merited All-Prep distinction, while the three other regulars gained honorable mention on the All- District squad, Bob Sullivan, Wally Cady, and Virgil Naumann. Major letters were earned by Capt. Dan Miller, Virg Naumann, Bob Sullivan, Wally Cady, Bob Klevorn, Ray Marty, John Gray, Jim Schindler, Tom O'Su11ivan, John Higgins, and Norbert Kayser. MINOR TEAMS The B basketball team of this year did not approach the heights attained by the B teams of the last two years. At times the team showed flashes of winning form. The squad was under the direction of Brother George Scherrer. Steed, Schroeder and Hanig were the mainstays of the outfit. Piekarski and Thro were the other regulars. The record of the C team, composed en- tirely of freshmen is of little import. The ex- perience that the players gained cannot be gauged. Fundamentals of the game were taught to the players by Brother Otto Weis- bruch. Page Twenty-two mnetean FOOTBALL 2 An old, proverb states: It's always darkest before the dawn. We hope that this is true, for if it is, McBride will soon be launched on a string of successful seasons in football, un- der its new coach, Edward Malone, successor to Toddy Kamp. The 1941 varsity eleven takes care of the darkest part. In cold facts, they won but one game: a 20-0 rout of Centrol Catholic, tied two, a 7-7 tilt with Cape Girardeau and a scoreless knot with South Side. Setbacks were administered in order by Cleveland, 0-14, Roosevelt, 0-14, Normandy, 0-19, C. B. C., 0-20, and St. Louis U. High, 0-48. In the Prep League race, the Colonnad- ers finished in a tie for third place with South Side, each having a Prep record of one tie and two losses. But, 'nuff said about the dismal side of the picture, let's look at the brighter side. This year's squad was led on the gridiron by one Monk Meyer, who gained as a reward for his field-generalship and aggressiveness, even in defeat, a place on the Globe-Democrat's All Prep first team. Others who performed admir- ably on the 1941 squad were: Lee Tate, cen- ter, Tom Andert, tackle, Tom Lewis, tackle, and Tom Shea on the line, while backfield standouts, besides Meyer, were: Burt Biby, Ralph Belli, and Norman Babor. TENNIS McBride seems to be acquiring a habit of producing championship tennis squads, for the 1941 netmen became the fifth straight tennis team to capture the Prep championship. The squad, coached by Rev. William Morris, and captained by Bill Muenz included: Robert Barringer, James Knoll, Kenneth Nuelle, and Ted Shasserre. The season was opened on September 20, with a 4-1 victory over South Side at the Sherman Park Courts. Mick victories were rung up by Captain Muenz and Jim Knoll in the singles and by Knoll and Muenz and Nuel- le and Shasserre in the doubles. Bob Barrin- ger received the only Irish loss. The St. Louis U. High encounter on Septem- ber 24, also at Sherman Park, was decided by a doubles victory scored by Barringer and Nuelle, which made the count read 3-2. Muenz and Barringer emerged victorious in singles competition while the setbacks were suffered by Knoll in a singles encounter and Muenz and Knoll, a forfeit, in the doubles. By virtue of their prep title, the Colon- naders were selected to represent the Prep League in the annual state tournament held at Columbia, Mo. ,V l , rrr Qcytty.-one ACTIVITY AWARDS Presentation of activity awards on Class Day is the most featured event of the school year.

Standing: Geislinger, Gebhart, , SPELLING I The 1941 McBride spelling team, coached by Brother Louis Schuster and captained by Herbert Gebhart climaxed a year of success- ful spelling by capturing the city champion- ship on May 17, when they nosed out the 1940 champion, Southwest, 24-23. By virtue of their victory, they became the first McBride spell- ing team to win a city title. Members of the team besides Gebhart include, Clark Potter, Donald Byrne, Edward J. Mee, Bernard Ran- kin, John David, Kenneth Nuelle, and Frank Geislinger. Of these Potter, Mee, Byrne, and Rankin are seniors, while the remaining three are juniors. The Tournament, sponsored by Radio Sta- tion KSD began early in April with eighteen public and private schools competing. Cleveland was the first victim of the Col- onnaders, and they were followed in order by Central, Rosati-Kain, and finally Southwest. In the Central encounter a record number of words were spelled, eighty-four in all. Inci- dentally the Central match was also won by but one word, the final score being 41-40. Mc- Bride defeated Cleveland by five words and Rosati-Kain by three. Throughout the season the Irish missed but 13 words. Captain Gebhart and Clark Potter deserve special mention for they went through all four matches without missing a single word. Edward J. Mee and Donald Byrne also de- serve 'a round of .applause', for this duet missed but one word each during the sea- son. John David and Ber- nard Rankin muffed but twice, while Kenneth Nuel- le was tripped but three times. Frank Geislinger missed four words. Nuelle. Bro.
