VENEZIA CLAYTON CARGILE Pictured at right is a group of the active mem- bers of the CHAPS for- mulating plans for the Annual Catholic High Winter Carnival. The carnival, due to the un- stinted efforts of the group, proved to be high- ly successful. Dedicated To The C. H. A. P.S. fCATHOLIC HIGH ASSOCIATION OF PARENTS AND SPONSORS, Who by their undying efforts have given whole-hearted support to Catholic High all of its undertakings. The C.H.A.P.S. are not a soft-spoken group who talk a lot and show little action, but rather an organization that backs up every promise with careful planning, hard work and a successful outcome. A school can be truly proud knowing they have such a fine team like the C.H.A.P.S. working with them all the way. They furnished the Band with many new instruments and partly paid for their concert trip to Nashville. For the football team they gave one of the finest banquets seen at Catholic High in many a year, and awarded to each member of the team a foot- ball sweater. To the CRUSADER they gave their full cooperation in the sale of adver- tisements. These and many more tasks have been given a helping hand by the C.H.A.P.S. So, taking this opportunity and speaking for the Faculty, each and every member of the student body and the Staff of the CRUSADER, we say with true sincerity, Thank you, and may God bless you. THE CRUSADER 49 One of the evidences of the material and moral aid being offered by the CHAPS to Catholic High may be seen in the picture of the football banquet held this year at the Catholic Club. The banquet was sponsored by the organization for the benefit of the players, coaches and the friends of Catholic High. One of the principal speak- ers was Mr. Clem Quinn, President of the CHAPS. Success seems to be the by-word of the CHAPS for each activity sponsored by this organization proves to be a real crowd gatherer. The picture at right shows a por- tion of the crowd that formed out- side the school cafeteria at one of the benefit suppers sponsored by the CHAPS. The football lettermen were awarded sweaters and letters by Coach Latham Graham for their work on the gridiron during the season. Pictured at left are the letter winners and Cyou guessed, the donors of the sweaters, the CHAPS. With such enthusiasm it is evident that the spirit of ol' Catholic High is deep seated. To THE GRADUATES OF THE CLASS OF 1949: Heartiest congratulations and prayerful good wishes for the days and years that lie before you! Thus far you have done well and merit the honors of graduation your Alma Mater is conferring upon you. The world into which you are now stepping is a fearfully restless and confused worldg so many men seem to have lost their visiong they no longer comprehend the true meaning and purpose of life. You, we believe, have that proper vision because of your Catholic education and so you are blessed above those of your fellow-graduates who have not been so privileged. You have learned to recognize and to accept Him Who is the Truth and the Way and the Life, - the Light that alone can penetrate the dark clouds of confusion hanging over the world today. Cling to this, your Divine Faithg it is your most precious possession. It is for you both a challenge and a responsibility. The world will again and again challenge you for its possessiong it will tempt you to compromise,-to exchange it for baubles, for forbidden fruit, fair without, but carrying within the sting of death. Your responsibility is to share with other needy souls your precious faith. Be then the light of the worldl' by your truly Catholic livesg be the salt of the earth, which purifies and permits not corruption. If you make Jesus your Light and Mary your Alma Mater you will not fail. God grant it, and bless you: WILLIAM L. ADRIAN Bishop of Nashville At the helm at Catholic High is Father John A. Elliott, Principal, who has been directing the school since its beginning as a boys' school four years ago. Aiming at the proper blend of extra-curricular activities and scholarship, Father Elliott has been the guiding hand in setting up Catholic High as one of the outstanding boys school in the South. Father Elliott's dream will come true with the completion of the new school this Fall. ADMINISTRATION Superintendent of Schools in the Diocese of Nashville and one Who, therefore, has a hand in the policy of Catholic High School for Boys, is the Rev. Francis P. Pack, Pro- fessor of Philosophy at Siena Col- lege and Pastor of Our Sorrowful' Mother Parish, Frayser, Tenn. Father Joseph P. Greshem is the Vice- Principal at Catholic High, second in command to Father Elliott. Father Gre- shem's chief interests lie in the fleld of science and drama. and FACULTY Q- ' FATHER DRISCOLL FATHER HEYMER FATHER TRAINOR FATHER CASHIN History aml Geography Latin and Economics Mathematics and Civics Advanced Math and Religion and Bible IfA.TI-HER MORRIS FATHER MORGAN SISTER GABRIEL SISTER RITA Englixh and Rrligion English and Rcligion jgumuljgm ,md Library and Typing, Math ami Spanixb Latin, French '1- MR.

GATTUSO Couch and Pbysivnl Director of Instrumental Secretary Dirlitian Education and Voral M'uxic I suppose I know the graduating class better than anyone. You see, 1've been close to them for four long years. We've worked together and played together and we've had an awful lot of talks together . . . and the talks were best of all. You see, these con- versations have bred friendships and the friendships have produced confidence. I think the boys have felt they could trust me for I've heard their troubles and they've asked my advice and I've felt real good in thinking that maybe I helped them. Yes, I guess my greatest thrill has been in sharing their friendship and receiving their confidence. Oh, of course, there have been some real rough spots during the past four years. There's been a lot of studying and work . . . and even some severe reprimandsg but, this is necessary and all leads to a definite end, and many times I've sacrificed a few days of the aforementioned friendship realizing that the light would eventually dawn and all would be well again. Yes, I suppose I know the graduating class better than anyone. I'll never forget the faces when a ninety was passed out on the report, nor the pained expression accom- panying the sixties. The respect in class, the devotion in Church and the savagery on athletic fields seemed incongruous and yet was inspiring. In all their activities I've been with them and I've seen, not the teen-age boy, but the future man, the leader in years to come. I suppose I know the graduating class better than anyone, and I can say I'm proud of the young men I know. I feel it an honor and a privilege that I was a part of them and I know that in the years to come they will make me even prouder of that honor. You see, I am the Faculty of Catholic High. 8 Senior Class Officers Pirlurad, Ivfl to rigbt: Thomas Garibaldi, freasurerg james Murphy, Secretaryg Robert Maynard, Presidency and Albert Dcvoto, Vice-President. Faculty Advisor FATHER JOHN A. ELLIOTT sq' 4' x 'lvfm 2 Q JACK BATSON has been a student at Catholic High for all four of his high school years. llis keep at it personal- ity has carried him far as a clarinet player in the band and in the guard position on the hardwood court. Witliout a doubt. he will go far after graduation. ALBERT DIEVOTO better known as Duffy is following his older brother's footsteps, joe Signiago, a star rookie for the Y.inkee's Pro Football Club. Be- ing captain of the football team in his senior year, he is well liked because of his winning personality. Wllile holding down the center position on the varsity team in '47 he also went out for boxing and did well in that field. Surely, this fore- tells an interesting and profitable life. CLAYTON Hot Lips CARGILE has been dubbed the Fastest Triple tonguer in C. H.S. He's probably the only one in the band who can QNO SLAM, MR. CORNEILLEJ. Seriously, though, he has contributed favorably to the furthering of music appreciation at C. H. S. Being president of the band in his junior and senior year, he was chosen in '47 to go to Detroit for the National Musician's Con- vention. This type of initiative will help him in later life. LOUIS ERTZ is quite well-known about school because of his quiet manner and general cooperation. As the art editor of the Magnet and the CRUSADER, he has shown his leadership. Along with other good qualities, he has won a place on the National Honor Society. His rather odd hobby of working with electric trains has everyone fooled as to what his ambition is, but we all know that whatever it is, it will be good. JOE HAMLING is the quietest, most well-mannered boy in school, if not in the city. The band, where he plays clarinet, couldn't get along without him. To his contributions to the band, he has added hard work in the glee club and has main- tained a high enough standard for the Na- tional Honor Society rating. After gradu- ation, he plans to go to college. enior Class BILL Runner COOPER has played baseball, football, basketball, tennis and has gone out for boxing and swimming. Al- though he has been out for practically every extra-curricular activity, perhaps he has done best at baseball for he was the top left-handed pitcher in the school. Be- sides all this he's had some awfully stiff subjects here and that includes Physics. This is definitely a preamble to a great future. THOMAS GARIBALDI is the brains behind the snappy Terrier football club. Yes, Tommy has been quarterback for three years, and, along with his accurate passing, can handle practically every punting as- signment. Mr. Garibaldi is a member of the National Honor Society and his fav- orite sport, other than the gridiron is golf. His get up and go has made a spot for him in the hearts of the students and the faculty. MINOR HOLLAND has been voted Mr. Leather Lungs of the C. H. S. Band. Mr. Corneille suggests that he hire himself out as a bellows. All kidding aside, Minor has made great strides in musical progress and has played substitute tackle-guard on the football team, X's'ith his easy-going. simple-to-get-along-with eharaeter, he will also make great strides in any profession he chooses. ARTIIUR Bull Sf1oofi'i ' MARTIN is a well-known, well-liked personality at school. If you wonder at the title given him, Bill lilliott dubbed him that after hearing him tell of one of his dates. Along with musical accomplishments in both glee club and hand, he designed the eover for the CRUSAl!I'.R. These qualities show lead- ership in any field. ,IAMIQS IIUTTON is another quiet, well-liked fellow. His interests have been mainly in football, but he was also a whiz with his spikes on the track team. Al- though he didn't lead the class in his stud- ies, he was high above the average, as he was in everything else. In '47, he was a member of the band and did well in that also. So, if working hard is the way to success, we can look for a hit in Hutton. 'CY lg- s.1-- ' Perhaps the most popular student at C. H. S. is Pistol Pele MAYNARD. His real handle is Robert, but if called that he woulcIn't know whom you were talking to. He has been out for football, baseball, basketball, track, tennis, boxing, C.S.M.C., glee club and probably more things than yo' scribe can count. Naturally, he is a leader in studies and has been president of his class for the last two years. Definitely, boys like Pete are an asset to any com munity. A person small in stature but great in 'i Q LARRY KRUG. The fellow with the Toni Home Permanent hair has dis- tinguished himself about school by his ter- rihc playing at guard post on the foot- ball squad. Ilis friendly attitude, with thc girls as well as the boys, has made him a very popular guy. Witlititit a doubt Larry will be a great success in his future activities. 'if' - f' ROBERT MORRISON, known around town and country as Broad Beam Bob, is a new-comer at C. H. S. this year. Al- ready lie has shown his prowess with the pigskin in the '48 football season. Besides this, he has informed many of us about life on the farm, for this is where he hailed from in September '48. Considering his superb cooperation with the students and faculty as well as his likeable person- ality and friendly disposition he is perhaps. the average student. h. Spy, sw. . i. musical and sport achievements is PRIMO gsm.. , MOTTO. Being in both glee club and f' 5 band, he has h:lp:d with the musical in- . struction of the student body. Under the 3 i able tutoring of Mr. Corneille, the band , director, he has become a perfectionist in the percussion section and has participated I-- 7 in boxing and wrestling, and, needless to say, has excelled in both. Thanks for your subordination, Primo, and, as a warning to the world, we all say, Look out for Mr. Motto. i K I Ls Q-.-I JOHN Stuff MIZSSINA is a wee bit small to go out for inter-school-astic ac- tivities, hut if anything is going on around school, Stud' will be in the middle of it. Lately, he has mystified us all as to how he lost his two front teeth. Some say his girl, others say his dad, Stuff doesn't say. It is my personal belief that he knocked them out on the front door of his gro- cery, for that is where he spends most of his time. In the future, he says, I wish to have a tremendous store, where all my best friends will shop. gg, ... . y .mtssiq 'JQSAH 'i i JAMIZS RAYMOND MURPHY, or Muff as he is commonly called, is :A leader at everything that he has tried at C. H. S. Ile was an oflieer in every one of his classes, an oflicer in the band while in its numbers, a letter maker in boxing, golf and band, and a member of the Na- tional Honor Society, for nearly all of the eight semesters he spent at school. A well liked character on the campus, Muff will undoubtedly go to college, and make good in some profession. JOHN MOORE, better known as long, lean and lanky, is tops in friendliness. Though he is not famous for his scholastic reports, he has done well with the Catholic Hi eleven for the last three years at end. A swell guy as well as a good student, he has prophesied by his line conduct record that the world to come can expect great things from him. PAT MCKELVY has everybody fooled as to what his real name is. Since you readers will learn at graduation anyway, I will break the spell. Actually his name is Fred Matthew. Where they got Pat, even he doesn't know. Really, though, Pat's hard working technique has brought him fame in his studies for in '47, he was awarded the Religion medal for the school, a singular honor. Although he has no particular interests at present, it is rumored that he plans to attend college. und swell guy of the class of '49 is FRANK NOBLE. I'Iis innate quiet- ness has won this for him. He has played football on the varsity since his freshman year and was quite mad when he was de- clared ineligible this last year. He made up for this, however, since he became man- ager of the team and without his help, the team would go to pieces. There is some- thing about him that urges the team on, that also helped him the all-round. No doubt we'Il all miss you, Frank. ROBERT MURDOCK. Following in the footsteps of his illustrious brother, Woodie, Bob has captured the title of best dressed at Catholic High for the last three years. This title climaxed a long search for distinction on the part of Bob which first took him to the football, basketball and scholastic fields of endeavor, but to no avail. i Wk- ' fi bfi, L0gy NIIARN, who's real name is Charles, is famous all over the city for his . . . Heh-Heh . . . automobile. A '36 Chevy, it does well to crawl, not run. Truly, the antique gets in there, and usu- ally in one piece. In studies, Charlie eX- cels in Spanish, being a star in Sr. Rita's class. CWhom do I think I'm kiddingj. Mr. Nearn has a strange craving for anything with a motor in it, so it wouldn't surprise any of us here at school if he turned out to be a Doctor of Motors , or a Carbu- retor Specialist . rs Q ' sig, ,. 5 jzstjg af. . For golf, FRED NUESCH takes the Cake in school. Not only is he a good player, beating his opponents, but he also is a good sport, making them almost glad they lost. lixcelling in interscholastic sports here. he also, besides golf, played football and helped the team to a success- ful season. lireddy is a friend to all and at man with a fine future. HENRY RIDDLF. The little boy with the big heart. Although small in size, he was one of the outstanding basketeers in the city. He is the type of boy you would like to have for a brother, and is ready to help anyone at anytime. No matter what undertaking he may tackle after graduation Henry will give his best and that will be far more than enough. apr - 'T N EARL O'HARA and his james Motor- cycle are inseparable couple. According to him, it's the fastest thing on two wheels. Although he has not taken to many extra- curricular activities, he has aided the gen- eral appearance of the school. The calm, collected Irishman has managed to become friends with everyone and that includes the faculty. All that can be said for O'Hara's future is that empires are made of men like him. JOE RONZA. If you've ever been to one of the Catholic Hi Glec Club Concerts, you'll probably be wondering whose beau- tiful tenor voice you heard over all the rest. It was joe Ronza's. He has strictly got talent for the fine art of singing. He has tried to help himself by taking music and by being in the band, while Fr. Gran- nis led it. With all his talent, you'd never guess it by the way he acts. He is the average, good-mannered C. H. S. student and, being qualified as such, is a swell fellow. 3. LEO PIIZROTTI has acquired the name of Carpet liaggern. Beats me how he gilt it, but it's rumored that he's been around C. H. S. so long, people think he came there just after the Civil Wfar with the other Carpet Baggersu. No ioking, Leo has only spent the required time in school and has done a good job at niany things while here. He was captain of the foot- ball team in 1949, played basketball, base- ball and football for four years and has kept a decent standard of grades. His laugh, which reminds one of the death scream of a man falling off a cliff, has brought him city-wide fame. It's a cinch, if he remains on the same trail, he'll do great things. l Next on the list for public criticism is BOB STOTT. A small fellow, but with a big heart. He's tried hard to make the boxing team for the last three years, but every time was eked out by a close decision. As most good C. H. S. students, he has his faults with his virtues, but they are deh- nitely few and far between. The red- headed slugger keeps up a good average at class and is one of the most popular boys in the senior class. The ace of Fr. Morris's Senior English Class is none other than TOM TOMA. Along with many contributions to the let- ters of the Magnel, he has put himself in the limelight of the class by writing some awfully nice bits of poetry. This doesn't necessarily foretell anything, but, from the looks of things at present, Longfellow and Whittier are going to be crowded in a few years. ERNEST TRIZMMITL, or Buddy as his friends call him, has the spirit that knows no bounds. At the start of this season he look care of our kick-offs and some of our punts. I.aier, however, his knee was in- jured and since then he has been a staunch eheerer for all the school's activities. Aside from his fine school spirit, he is an average in studies, application and deportmentg so remember, dear readers, the foundation of the world depends on average people. LARRY Hfillllllll-Y Cm.-ki WEI.CH is probably most noted here for his excellent job as Exchange Editor for the Muguel and the annual. liesides this, he has written many articles for Sr. Gabriel in her Journ- alism Class. Though he is not on the Ilonor Society, he has been above average in most of his studies all four years, and it is this type boy that presidents and gen- erals are made of. A. J. VENIZZIA. Having won the medal for the queen of the sciences last year, he has always been a leader in this phase of schooling as well as others. He plays in the band, sings in the glee club, writes for the paper and the Citusfimik, and, in the first semester of his last year here. entered the XVestinghouse Science Talent Search. Congratulations on a fine record, fi. J. -7 Now we come to the boy who has taken part in the most activities. It's ALFORD WOOD. just to name a few of the or- ganizations to which he belongs let us start with: The Spanish Club, The Mathe- matics Club, The Band, The Gregorians, The Honor Society, Editor of the Magnet, The Thalians and actually many others. No wonder he won the activities medal in the summer of 1948. Even though it looks like he has his hands in everything, he is a regular guy and a most likeable fellow. as . ,gr 'YS s A little below we speak of the spirit of Buddy Trcmmel. The next perf son We discuss at least equals this. Yes. he's MARTIN XVIQNZLIQR, Although he has been behind the school all the way, he certain proved it his last year. Wliile playing left-half in the last football game of the 1948 football season, Martin broke his knee in three places. Although he spent over a month out of school, he Hnished OL!! the semester, but when it came time for exams, you couldn't tell his papers from the rest except perhaps the handwriting was a little ragged. You bet! He passes them all. Thanks a lot for your spirit too, Mr. W'enzler. None of us will ever forget big JOE XVILLIAMS. This forceful line man of the gridiron, this tall center of the hard- wood court, this frientl to all has boosted the popularity of C. H. S. by leaps and hounds. Though he was not known throughout the city for his athletics until his last year because of knee and ankle in- juries, it didn't take long for him to be called a hard tackler and a dead-shot with a basketball. The whole school looks up to you, Joe, not because of your size, but for your sportsmanship and all-round qualities. W. WULFF. Wliere would the clarinet section of Mr. Corneille's band be without Willie Wulff. Let me tell you. Behind the 8-ball. Willie has been a member of it for three years, and even though he hasn't played Hrst chair music, he has do- nated his talent to make it one of the best organizations of its kind in Memphis. He's a quiet, courteous, gentlemanly student, and these qualities will always be an as- set to anyone. 1-vs.. V JOE XIQUES. Last on our list in al phabetieal order is joe Xiques. Hailini from Sacred Heart many of you already know him from his football fame. Becausi of his terrific speed, joe also has won hi letters in baseball as an outfielder. Hi friendly and easy going attitude has mad him a friend, indeed, of everyone at Catho lic High. lass History by JIMMY MURPHY The graduation of the Senior Class of 1949 marks the completion of the high school education for a group of boys who are the foundation stones of a great new institution. These are the boys that have the dis- tinction of being the first class to complete the four years at the all boys Catholic High. Four years ago when these boys registered at the new school, it was but an infant in the process of taking its first step, but now, four years later ,it is a well-organized establishment with the highest of scholastic standards. By this great prog- ress we can readily see that outstanding cooperation and loyalty were furnished by the students, and the leaders of these students were the present Seniors. That's the reason that the class of '49 can well feel proud of the record they leave behind. No matter which phase of school life you consider you will Hnd that throughout the years the Forty- Niners have been the pacemakers. Whether it be scho- lastic achievement, sports, or extra-curricular activities, this class has always been a step ahead. First in line take the scholastic achievement. Since the National Honor Society was inaugurated at Catho- lic High the members of the class of '49 have been in majority with Cargile, Hamling, Garibaldi, Ertz, Mur- phy, Wulff, Toma, and Venezia taking the upper hand. The Catholic High Band was founded and carried on the able shoulders of the Forty-Ninersf' The band has always been largely comprised of these boys. There is no question that this class has consistently led in sports. The football team's first team was made up almost wholly of Seniors with a fighting spirit that tops 'em all. Many a time you've heard the names of Pierotti, Xiques, Garibaldi, Proctor, Krug, Maynard, Devoto, Dattilo, Tremmel, Cooper and Williams boom over the P. A. system at the football field. In recent years the successes of the Terriers baseball team have been sparked by such names as Garibaldi, Pierotti, Maynard, Cooper, Tremmel, and Xiques. The names of Williams, Cooper, Pierotti, Maynard, Batson, and Riddle are linked with the high spirited basketball team of '49 who have demonstrated they can perform with the best. I might add the Catholic athletic teams have had the best manager in town with Frank Noble filling that post. The boys of the '49 class who have been on the Catholic boxing team have shown admirable courage and ability. Stott, Murphy, and Maynard are three who have boxed more than one year and Maynard is ac- credited with going to the finals and semi-finals in the Prep in two consecutive years. In the field of journalism both the Magnet and the CRUSADER will suffer the loss of the backbone of their staffs. Maynard and Wood being co-editors of the school paper, Ertz, artist, Murphy, feature editor, and reporters Ronza, Cargile, Venezia, Welch. The task of editing a first school Annual was placed in the hands of these same boys and they came through with a brilliant success. The book you are now read- ing is their second endeavor to make the CRUSADER the number one year book of the city. From the dramatic standpoint the Thalians, the Catholic High Dramatic Club, will be a long time in finding boys to fill the shoes of Cargile, Wood, Ronza, Martin, and Nearn, who deserve a great deal of credit for presenting some of the highest caliber school plays in recent years. During their junior year the present graduating class staged the school's first Junior-Senior Prom. This was done through the fine backing of the class in selling Christmas cards and sponsoring dances. I see my space is running out and yet I have but enumerated a small portion of the accomplishments in the History of the Class of '49. In conclusion I can't help but say that the achieve- ments and successes made by this, the first class to com- plete the four years at the All Boys Catholic High, owe a great debt of appreciation to their instructors, the diocesan priests, who have molded into the boys the characteristics of good Catholic men. My only hope is that they will live up to be the Catholic men they have been taught to be. lass Will by JIMMY MURPHY We, the Graduating Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Nine, of Catholic High School for Boys, being of sound mind and body, memory and understanding, do hereby make and execute this, our Last Will and Testament, in the following manner: 1.1 Clayton Cargile leaves his No. 12 shoes and nickname, Lover Boyu, to Glenn Calvert. 2.1 Earl O'Hara bequeaths his heavy beard to any freshman who is trying to grow one. 3.1 Leo fThe Nut1 Pierotti leaves his halfback po- sition to anyone who is good enough to fill his shoes next season. 4.1 Pistol,' Pete Maynard leaves his rugged boxing ability to his opponents and his tender feminine touch to whoever can E11 the bill. 5.1 Bobby Stott leaves his red hair to Luchessi. 6.1 A.

Principal task at hand facing the Junior Class at the beginning of the year was playing host at the Junior Prom for the Seniors and clearing the decks, scholastically, for their own coming senior year. Re- ports indicate that both tasks were handled adequate- ly. Most Juniors can look forward to a big Senior year and the present Seniors will not soon forget the Prom of '49. Outstanding musician and scholar of the class was Dan Bruce while Dick Perkins joined him in the scholastic race. Gene Valley starred for the reju- venated Terriers on the hardwood aided by Little Buddy Jensen. Pick Edwards looked very good on the gridiron and Beeg Walter Burke showed prom- ise on both gridiron and hardwood.

Football Never once did they give up, never once did they quit fighting, never once did they take anything without hitting back, yet, only once did they taste victory. Though unpredictable as the Terriers were they won for themselves the admiration of the whole City. Unpredictable yes, because one week they may be smothered by an overwhelming score, then the next week only be nosed out by the prep champs by a 31-39 count. One half ofa game be pushed around with ease and with the last quarter only have seven points to their credit and yet when the final whistle sounded they had scored 24 points. Yes, that's the way the Terriers worked. U The squad had the honor of having one of the finest coaches in the business. For Latham Graham knows his football and his boys. He taught his play- ers with patience and understanding, but with fire enough to make them learn. He is devoted to his boys and beyond a doubt every member of the squad loved and respected their coach. Also in the coaching field Sturla Canale, one time Notre Dame grid star. He did magnificent work with the linemen teaching them just how the game is to be played. Mr. Canale gave up his own time to work with the team. This type of sacrifice is greatly appreciated by the whole team. N At the end of the season the Terriers were awarded the Veterans of Foreign Wars Sportsmanship Trophy. This is given to the team that shows outstanding sportsmanship throughout the season. Never to be outdone in courage were the Terriers for after the close of the Prep season they chose for an after season contest, Blytheville, the State Champs of Arkansas, and gave them one of their hardest games of their season, losing by a 39-31 score. Next season looks very bright for the Terriers and with Coach Latham Graham at the helm they are assured of future success.

No, it's a steady grind, that means day after day of hard work. It means hitting the ground tl1at's been baked by the sun, soaked by the rain, or frozen by the cold. It means practice when you don't feel like practicing. It means sacrificing some of your pleasure, giving up your time. It means this and a lot more. But actually you love it because you know it's the right thing to do. You know that you can achieve no success without work- ,Z -Q. L ' Tommy Garibaldi ing for it. And when you come to think of it, it's really a lot of fun, it means being with the fellows you know, working with them, helping them and getting to know them better. Sounds funny but from football practice you not only learn football, you learn how to sacrifice, you make friends and learn how to take itg and you have plenty of fun during it. Leo Pierotti Q, Vt. joe Williams joe Xiques Pete Maynard . F. W. Sportsmanship Award 'V One of the highlights of the annual football banquet was the 'presentation ofa sportsmanship trophy by Commander William McTighre of the Veterans of Foreign XVars. The trophy is presented annually to the most sportsmanlike team in Shelby coun- ty. Pictured receiving the trophy is Albert Devoto, captain of Catholic I-Iigh's 1948 team. Any school would consider it an honor and privilege to receive the presentation, for it represents outstanding clean sportsmanship which is vitally important in the playing of any sport. The trophy is not awarded to the Champion team nor to the most im- proved squad in the city but rather is based entirely on the sportsmanlike play of the team at all times. Hats off to the 1948 squad. ,qv --1 il: , A,- 1 x xx' Iii: 1 i P a 1-2 me '14 'F' ,Juq,, H -' MA ,O The baby Terriers as they were called proved themselves no babies . . . but rather ri spirited fighting group of men. Little in size but giants in courage. Ready to battle it out with any and all opponents. Under Coach Brick Mason the freshmen learned valuable football information that will greatlyw-prepare them for their further football careers. Coach Mason took a group of small inexperienced boys and made a hard-hitting squad that any coach would be proud of.

Riddlq, 3 Senior, His loss next year will be greatly felt. Charlie nnce playetl for Father Ryan's State Champ team and Austin Peay College. f s Basketball If you know any math the following will not be hard to add: a new coach, some inexperienced boys, a lot of hard practice, the result one of the most im- proved squads in Prep history. For the last three years the Terriers had shown little or no victories on the hardwood. Yet this season brought a new fight- ing squad into the eyes of the Terrier followers. For Coach Charlie Clunan and the boys racked the back- boards for eleven victories. More wins than the Terriers have composed in the last four years. The team possessed no height for Joe Williams was the only member over the six foot mark. Yet, they possessed the desire and the iight to win. The squad was made up of nine of the finest boys you would want to meet: Jack Batson, Jim Green, Joe Williams, Gene Valley, Henry Riddle, Charlie Jensen, Phil Wil- ett and Bill Cooper. The end of the season showed Riddle taking hon- ors on the third team All Memphis Press-Scimitar squad. With Gene Valley and himself again, copping honors as honorable mention on the Commercial Ap- peal five. Although the smallest man on the squad Riddle proved himself deserving of the honors in more ways than one for in the most exciting games of the season in which we lost a 45-48 en- counter to C.B.C. the Second District Champs, Hen- ry played the entire game with a virus infection. It was this kind of play that contributed to the suc- cess of the Terrier five. Memphis fans will always remember the expert ball handling of Jim Green and Charlie Jensen. The great backboard work of Joe Williams, the fine left- handed set shots of Bill Cooper, the fighting spirit of Phil Wilett and Joe Linder, and the beautiful jump shots of Valley and Riddle. Yes, the Terriers under Charlie Clunan had a fine season. Schedule Cagholic High ,,,,A,,,, ,,,.,.,. 2 6 Colilerville .... .........

S. is expecting great things of this team. Led by Robert Godwin, Tom Garibaldi and Fred Nuesch, the golf- ers hope to better last year's team record of finishing third in the city and fifth in the State Tournament. In the Memphis Prep Tourney, Catholic had two men in the top eight golfers, with Garibaldi reaching the quarter Hnals and Godwin the semi-finals. The very able fourth place man was Robert Hannan, who the team lost through graduation. The 1949 group is earnest and ambitious concerning this coming season. Eager for the fourth position and the position of first and second alternates are Jimmy Murphy, Glenn Calvert, Gene Arnold, and Walter McNeil. Goal for 1949: Enter the State Tournament with Catholic High holding the Prep League Team Championship and the individual champion a student at Catholic High. 45 is-. .',:5.uHg' Q , ,aaa 4 Cheerleaders piclurrzl, left Io right-Charlie Harty, Co-Capt., Louis Trichel, Arthur Martin, Ameera Picrini, Sacred Heart Co-Capt., Marianne Davis, St. Agnes, Nor- ma Free, St. Agnes, Clarice Poat, St. Thomas, janet Gaynor, St. Thomas, Yvonne Butler, Holy Names, Shirley Zanone, Holy Names, and Ernestine Coscia, Sacred Heart.

Since his arrival at Catholic, Director Lee Corneille has set for the band standards which far exceed any now in existence in this section. The attainment of the standards is rather slow in coming but though the advance has been measured, the outlook for the musical future of Catholic High is brilliant. Mr. Corneille has set the band up on a military system and the ranking officer chosen was Clayton Cargile. Dan Bruce was chosen as assistant director and other ranking members include Alford Wood, A. J. Venezia, William Wulff, Joe Hamling and Charles Nearn. Last year the band participated in the Cotton Carnival Paradcs, the height of achievement locally for a band. Also, they had a position in the Humboldt Strawberry Festival parades, the Navy Day Parade and the Armistice Day Parade. Each year, the work of the band is displayed at a Winter and Spring Concert. The band received a superior rating in Class CC in the State Association band ratings. Much is justly ex- pected from the band in '49-'50. .Q 'Mft' ,f--B.. if I Q...-,.,,,,T - i.S,gg,1, R, I H - A, as :Q . 43 9'-H-.Q . .1 .3-.. 'P .-I' M-1 K- fs 'FY' 1. '-ynmwfwwwfwgxwx - 'Qhn 1 4 X.

This organization is in charge of the publi- cation of the school paper, the Magnet. The boys write the articles for the paper, and after the iron hand and red pencil of Sister Gabriel has passed over them, they are ready for publication in the Magnet. The paper is sold in the city Catholic Churches and Catholic High Schools and Grammar Schools. Sister Gabriel's success with the journalism classes is readily illustrated by excellent ratings which the Magnet has received in the past three years. Co-Editors ............... Business Managers .... Journalism gives you one-fourth credit-a year, and at Catholic High, you earn that credit. The schedule includes regular vocabulary tests, practice in writing articles, thorough discussions on basic rules of journ- alism, study of journalistic slang, tests in picking er- rors out of various types of articles, and, every once in a while, we try our hand at writing poetry. The Class meets once a week, and is an extension of the English class. Members of the journalism class who are on che Magnet staff are: .....Alford Wood, Pete Maynard J. Venezia, J.

However, every once in a while, we find a journalistic prodigy like this year's Glenn Calvert, whose talents have bolstered the journalism classes efforts during his first year at Catholic High School. A member is sometimes given less than two days to get facts and write a story for the paper, and it usually is in on time. Our members are always working for the better- ment of the paper and subsequently, of the school, so you can be sure that when the new school is built, thc journalism classes will be one of its principal assets.

In the first year of the school's history, Father Joseph Gresham gathered together nine fledgling actors: James Bowling, Anthony Foley, Everett McIvor, Hewitt Perkins, Nick Pesce, John Sparks, Ben Toma, Alford Wood and Donald Wooten, and presented a short Christmas play, The Song Immortal. This was the beginning of the Thalians. A little later, Father began work on the Hrst major show, Arsenic and Old Lace. Although none of the cast had had any previous experience in facing a large audience with a Broadway show, Father Gresham's fine direction led them to success. The second year the Thalians began broadcasting over Station C. H. S. Their first radio show over the P. A. was Christmas Carolv by Charles Dickens. That year also witnessed their first road tour. The Thalians took Charlie,s Aunt to Millington, as well as to Ellis Auditorium. It was also the first year that girls were introduced into the group. Last year's show was Big Hearted Herbert, and was held at Goodwyn Institute. It was as much, if not more, of a success as the previous productions. Your Uncle Dudley, this year's show, was a perfect follow-up to the others. It Went to Millington, was enjoyed by a large audience at Ellis Auditorium and was tele- visecl. The cast consisted of Alford Wood and Clayton Cargile, both four-year members, Charles Nearn and Jack Gurley, Misses Ernestine Coscia, Barbara Fisher, Charlotte Han- son, and Patricia Wilson. No history of the Thalians would be complete without listing their many stars. Topping the list for brilliant performances are Anthony Foley, Donald Wooten, James Bowling, Alford Wood, Clayton Cargile, David Turk, Patty Reilly, Julia Wooten, Mar- tha Ann Gatti, Ernestine Coscia, Hayden Kelly, Jack Gurley, Charles Nearn, Patricia Wilson, Shirley Ricossa, Barbara Lee Ogilvie, Charlotte Hanson, Joseph Fisher, Charles Harty, Vincent Aste, Daniel Bruce, Barbara Fisher, Joe Ronza, Jeff Smythe, Jerry Mc- Carty, Arthur Martin, Jane Reilly, Pat Burke, and the many others who made the shows successful. But, as always, the biggest bunch of Orchids goes primarily to Father Gresham, the driving factor of the organization.

The play was hailed as one of the most successful high school productions of the year and much credit is due Father Joseph Greshem, Director of the Thalians, and the members of the cast, rc- sponsible for the stellar performance. nv ' Caught during a serious moment of re- I1 n earsal for the 1949 production by the Tha- lians. fFather Greshem is really not as tough as he seems.j Father is seen taking Pat Wil- ansen and Alford Wood son, Charlotte H through their lines. s I A .nt .Q- Los Caballeros Los Caballeros Alegrosn, alias G1i Bruti Facci , is the official tag affixed to the Spanish Club of Catholic High. The organization was formed to present to the Spanish II class a better understanding of the customs, traditions, and modes of living in the vari- ous Spanish-speaking countries. All members of the class are members of the club. The oflicers are: Thomas Toma, presidentg James Murphy, vice-presidentg Leo Pierotti, secretary-treasurerg and Louis Ertz, sergeant-at-arms. The activities of the club consist in the giving of papers by different members about topics concerning Spain and South America, and discussion of these. The club also fosters the presentation of motion pictures, exhibits, etc. about various aspects of Latin life. This was especially evident during Pan-American Week this year. Los Caballerosn have profited greatly through the club in their study of the Span- ish language and have been greatly enriched in their understanding and appreciation of the Spaniard's way of life. Q Much of the success of the group is attributed to the sparkling guidance of their faculty moderator, Sister Mary Rita. 56 'W-Q. cienee Club Father Joseph P. Greshem, Professor of Sciences, has organized the members of the Science classes into a club known as the Science Club. The purpose of this organization is to facilitate the promotion of scientific interests on the part of the students. One of the chief objectives of the Club this year is a science exhibit to be produced here in the school. Officers of the Club are Dan Bruce, Joe Linder and Dick Perkins. Pictured at the upper left is Father Greshem discussing the human skeleton with members of the club.

This promises to be an outstanding organization in the future. Picfurml above-Lynn Doyle, Paul Blancq, Coleman Smythe, Bill Williams, Vincent Turk and Gene Belote. The Catholic High Mathematical Society for 1948-49 consisted of eight members, all of whom were members of the Math. IV class. They are Thomas Toma, Presidentg A. J. Venezia, Vice-Presidentg Louis Ertz, Secretaryg Joseph Hamling, Treasurerg Clayton Cargile, William Cooper, Lawrence Welch and Alford Wood. Pictured are A. I. Vene- zia and Joseph Hnmling working over a problem. ,::a fr -' df WWWNN A. -I. Venezia, popular senior and charter member of the National Honor Society, received notice this year from the Extension Magazines Teen-Age Board that he had won honorable mention for his essay in their nation-wide contest. A. jfs subject, Evolu- tion and the Catholic Church, was rated with over :1 thousand others from Catholic high schools throughout the country by selected judges. Besides being a member of the Honor Society, A. J. also is a member of the Science and Spanish Clubs. four years in the band, and three in Journalism. ' r Q? Alford Wood, Senior at Catholic, took top honors in the Catholic Patriotism Essay sponsored by the Fourth Degree Council of the Memphis Knights of Columbus. The contest was open to the girls and boys Catholic high schools throughout the city. An- other honor was recently conferred on Alford due to his scholastic ability. He was successful in passing the difficult Navy Reserve test but failed on a physi- cal in Cincinnati due to 20-30 vision in one eye. Alford, however, now has his sights trained on Notre Dame and plans to enter the South Bend university in the Fall of ,49. A closer view of the speakers table shows Joe Signaigo, Comman- der McTighe, VFW Post 684, who p r e s e n t e d the Sportsmanship Award, Monsignor Louis J.

Iv' X-l00'tb3u The speaker table at the Catholic High football banquet was loaded with celebrities and they say it was the greatest ever.

The Terrier Hop Bigger and better each year , and this was the third year for the annual presentation of the Catholic High Terrier Hop. The Hop is the annual pres- entation, in the social field, of the Megaphone Club. The object is to raise funds for carrying on their ac- tivities during the year, promote good will, and see that everyone has a swell time. This year, the feature of the Terrier Hop was the introduction of a new Catholic High song, The Sweetheart of Ol' Catholic High, and the choosing of a girl to fit the title. Yvonne Butler's mother, Mrs. Charles Butler, wrote the song and Yvonne introduced it. The Official Sweetheart of Catholic High is none other than Cheerleader Ameera Pierini. Don Kearn and Hal Benson, radio announcers at WDIA and WMPS, re- spectively, and Miss Mary Lou O'Conner, student at Memphis State, were the judges of the finalists in the contest. The Megaphone Club reminds us this year that The Hop in '50 will be a nifty. The Finalists of the Sweetheart of Ol' Catholic High contest held in connection with this year's Terrier Hopi' were, left fo right-Betty Morarity, St. Agnes, Anite Rector, St. Thomas, Ameera Pierini, Sacred Heart fwinnerjg and Shirley Sanone, Holy Names. 1 Shown above, presenting Shirley Zanone to the audience, are radio announcers Hal Benson, WMPS, and Don Kearn, WDIA.

Clunan, former Athletic Director of Catholic High was moved to Immaculate Conception Church in Knoxville. This move not only meant the transference of a priest from Memphis to Knoxville, but it meant the loss of one of the most potent boosters of Catholic High and a definite asset to sports circles in Memphis. As a tribute to Father Clunan a testimonial dinner, sponsored by local athletic officials, was held at the Forrest Room of the Gayoso Hotel.
