This identifies not only our school where learning takes place but also that Lady by whose inspiration all learning is achieved.

A consciousness that our spiritual life does not limit itself merely to a series of specific acts superimposed upon our student life became clear to us Thus we endeavor to integrate our spiritual living with our everyday, commonplace living, We carry Christ beyond the portals of the church and try to see Him in others as members of l-lis Mystical Body So we live our daily Mass .

The Notre Dame 1956 baseball season, under Coach Father Heineman, can be' described as successful but short. Of their five games, all tournament plays, the Crusaders picked up 2 victories, dropping 3. Sporting a team batting average of .253, the Crusaders proved to be strong in ev- ery department but pitching. Al Bohr handled the mound duties excellently, but had no one to relieve him. Al's fast curve-ball and practiced control proved very effective on opposing batsmen, and his own big bat pounded out a .471 average to lead his team in theqhitting department. Notre Dame's infield made gooduse of experience gained the year before and played tight ball throughout the sea- son. Dick Heimer stayed in the hot corner, leaving sopho- 600. .

In the outfield we saw Jim Jones, Tom Lydon, Pat Minnick, Jerry Schmitt, and Dick Jirak switch- lng around and turning in fine performances at all times. Tom's speed and Jerry's hitting power were very valuable, and Jim, Pat, and Dick could always be depended upon. We have concluded another edition of baseball at Notre Dame. The Crusaders may have had better teams in the past, but the 1956 baseball team will always be remembered as a fine example of good sportsmanship. .

The Crusaders faced a tough schedule in the revamped l-low-Winn Conference, but came through with an 8 and 4 conference record and an overall season mark of 11 wins and 9 defeats. More than one-half of the Crusaders' losses were suf- fered by 2, 3, and 4-point margins, Getting off to a bad start with a loss to Ridgeway, the Crusaders finished strong by winning the last tive home games. Our boys showed fans some good basketball, trimming both Lime Springs and Protivin in the season finale. ln the sectional joust against the Waukon Indians, failure to hit at the free throw line was the downfall of the Crusaders. Four seniors, Bob Ollendieck, Dan McCulloch, Jerry Schmitt, and Al Bohr were the nucleus around which this year's team was formed, Dan, a steady scorer and good floor man, paced the Notre Dame team all year, and Bob not only excelled in scoring, but proved to be the Crusaders' leading rebounder Jerry and AI shared rebounding duties and often added valuable points, Looking ahead to next year, Notre Dame will be able to field a strong team as eight of the present varsity squad will be retained, headed by Pat Lentz, Dick Heimer, and Dick Squiers, letter winners, and four other fast-improving juniors. 'gs' - wha: 'Jhouqn 'Jae Odds The 1956-57 edition of the N-D Crusaders started strong by capturing four of the first six games. Confidence and poise, good ball handling and a steady defense marked the Crusaders play early in the season. As the mid-year came, they succumbed to an eight-game losing streak, Injuries to key players sent morale to a new low, but always game, the Crusaders kept fighting only to lose several heartbreaking games in the County Tournaments and Protivin in the Sec- tional. Full strength for the first time, the Crusaders finished the season as they began, with a smashing victory over Lawler, enabling the seniors to finish their career on an optimistic note. N-D will miss Dolores Skretta, who not only spear-headed our offensive but showed all-around ability. Gone too, will be Ellen McCarville, a high-scoring for- ward, along with Sharon Vinton, Juanita Herold, Janelle Rue, and Deanna Bill- myer, who time and time again checked opponents' attacks with solid defense. Veteran seniors held the team together during this year's campaign while our younger players were steadily improving under the watchful eye of Coach Merle Kollasch. Several sophomores, headed by Mary McGee, have gained valu- able experience this season, along with Juniors Carol Pecinovsky and Joan Mc- lntire.
