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. .

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

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.
