Our parents were our first teachers. From them we learned about God and our relations with Him, about Christ and His redemptive work, about the sacraments which are an extension of that work in time. Our parents taught us to say our daily prayers and to assist properly at Mass, to respect our fellowmen as temples of the Holy Spirit, and to honor and obey all those lawfully placed over us. They provided for our daily needs. We had food, clothing, and the assurance of a good home to which we could always retum after our work or play. It was in our home and from our parents that we received commendation for our honest efforts, and encouragement i n our occasional disap- pointments and difficulties. Io our parents we owe all that we have or are, and as a tribute to their numerous acts of kindness and generosity to us, and in appreciation to them for the many sacrifices that they have made for us, we respectfully dedicate this issue of the Olympian.

Our first encounter with this institution of higher learning proved to be somewhat appalling. No longer were we sheltered by Sister’s soothing voice. We, merely innocent children, were herded into an open yard and given a few blunt and harsh commands by our prospective pedagogues. If the intentions of the Brothers were to place the fear of God into our timid minds, we would at this time like to commend them for their effectiveness. This first impression soon vanished and we became wrapped up in our new obligations as stu- dents of O’Dea. We were introduced to such oddities as “agricola” and ‘‘x2’’ which opened new horizons in our educational and cultural development. The “fining system’’ was recognized as an undemocratic injustice; however, it became the basis of a truly wonderful class picnic. We will never forget such names as Br. King, Br. Boyle, Br. Kealy, and Br. O’Keeffe, who guided us through the most critical year of our life. As soon as we began to wonder whether we would ever reach that higher echelon of existence, senior life, we found that we had somehow become soph- mores, and had graduated from Cathedral Grade School. As we recall our sophomore year, a vigorous little Latin teacher remains foremost in our mem ories. His desire to have all his classes score highly on the ‘‘June Exams” seemingly had be- come an obsession with him, and ‘‘Caesar’’ and the ‘‘Five Latin Keys’’ became the sole purpose of our existence. We can hardly forget the explosive practical joke that we played on Br. Dopish, and the “‘sweat and blood”’ of Mr. Maguire’s gym class. With hardened posteriors and broken knuckles, we resolutely entered our junior year. We were forcibly introduced to Br. Collins’ “advanced research,” and subjected to “‘Klepto’s reign of terror.” Our year was highlighted by a delightful junior prom which featured an exotic oriental atmosphere. As the year came to an end, the student-body witnessed one of the most violent and cut-throat elections in the history of O'Dea. ‘‘Beers for Everyone’ captured the confidence of our students, and Mike swept the election. As that long-awaited climax of our high school days became a reality, we began our fourth and seemingly shortest year at O’Dea. We were somewhat disillusioned in our conjecture that senior year would be a “‘breeze.”” Our most enlightened students were severely jolted as the first quarter Honor Roll was announced. As a result, the lamplights burned even longer into the night. Grade points and college entrance requirements became familiar topics of discussion and honorable terms in every senior’s vocabulary. Throughout the year we were challenged with new concepts. We learned that there were many battles left unfought, many victories to be won. Yes, our care free days had at last come to an end. Thus, we, the Class of 1961, will always recall with pride and satisfaction the friendly guidance and care that we have received. It is our humble attempt at this time to express our deep appre- ciation and thanks to our devoted parents and dedicated teachers. � ey ven ited a Gs Ni hig se bd oe ae Nine Ve gel bs Pn ee ent t eh eee e : STUDENT BODY OFFICERS MICHAEL N.

He played Football in his Freshman Year, but engaged in no other school activity afterwards, perhaps because he did not have the opportunity or the time. In any event, he hopes to graduate with his classmates and to make out successfully in life. JOHN ROY MALAVOT TE Saint Edward’s ’57 John has been a loyal supporter of the school and a fairly good student. He was on the Student Council 4; a Class Officer 4; on the Social Committee 1; with the Track Men 1,2; on the Football Team 2,3; and with the Drama Club 3.

Boyle, the P.E. Club that gave him an extra period in the gym, and the noise he made with the once-famous Bongo Club. As a senior he came to the conclusion that he was not intended to be a physicist.

He is resolved to do his best to be a success in life. 19 ROBERT EDWARD MORRIS St. Stephen's, Ore. ’57 Bob appears to have had no time for extra- curricular activities.

He was on Track 1,2; Football 1. He was on that undefeated Freshman Football THOMAS JOHN WELCH St. Joseph’s '57 Team that trounced Prep. twice. He cannot tell what the future holds for him. Tom is the easy-going type of fellow that often gets there just the same. He did not especially love Latin, and still wonders how the Romans ever remained awake during one of Cicero’s Orations.

As a senior he was a member of the Social Committee. His ambition is to become an aviator. RONALD STEVEN WEBER Cathedral School ’57 Ron has found many friends at O’Dea where, he says, he learned a lot from books and experience.

His best subject is history, and his ambition is to attend college come October. 35 TERRY RICHARD WHALEY Holy Rosary ’57 Terry has managed to get passing grades throughout his high school years. He never took an active part in the extra-curricular activities provided at the school.

Having met with a serious accident, Dave was obliged to miss part of his senior year. He is very anxious to graduateg and to apply his knowledge to practical ufe, a JOHN NORMAN ZAVAGLIA Saint George ’57 ‘‘Zag’’, as he is usually called by his class- mates, has been one of the most popular seniors this year. He seems to believe that “he who is silent today will speak tomorrow.’? At any rate, he was a boy of few words, hence he was so well respected. In his Freshman Year he was on the Honor Roll, and in his last year he was a Club Officer in the Bowling Club and a member of the Sodality. His ambition is to make it through Y - college. Don De Matteis George Jacobson Rudy Frank Michael Beers ; Gerald Bosi Outstanding Seniors Students pictured were chosen for this honor on the basis of scholarship, leadership, and service to the school. They have demonstrated their abilities in making the many activities at O’Dea a success. Through their leadership our school has achieved an admirable record in scholarship, athletics, and student govern- ment. We are proud to acknowl- edge them as our most outstand- ing students. Pascal Hayatsu David Greene Louis Marzano ; John Osterfeld 37 Terry Dodd Joe Salgado U N AG, aa R G aN ae 1D, Fab) “A ar a: S PENSER DE TEMPS Shy and awevstruck,the Class of 62 entered these hallowed (or is it hollowed?) walls of O’Dea High School. What lay ahead? Was there really a fourth floor swimming pool and a self-operating elevator? At the moment we are nearing our three-quarter mark sojourn at the school. Nearly all our initial queries have been answered: no pool, no elevator. Our shyness has been converted into boldness, and we are no longer awe-struck (even though we have often been struck by other things.) ; In our Frosh Year we made our mark. What other recent First Year Class could boast that they were the only students that ever flunked in P.E.2 Room 1A still brags about the day they mobbed a poor unsuspecting senior (on Br. O’Keeffe’s orders, of course!) In Sophomore Year a new prob- lem presented itself. The rooms we had just vacated were filled with a group of little “‘monsters”’ (smaller, more timid, and generally inferior to what we proudly imagined we had been.) These new arrivals constituted the Class of 63. When their football team turned in a very commendable record, and they virtually monopolized the honor roll, we began to see that they weren’t such a bad sort. We continued on our rampage: growing oranges in the middle of winter, flying airplanes on Report Card Day and trying extremely hard to be 200% men both on and off the football field. “Now we are engaged in a bitter conflict’ — Junior Year. A new crop of Freshmen has once again appeared (even smaller than the last, both in numbers and in size). Despite that,they have managed to do very well both scholastically and athletically. The Class of 63, now gallant Sophomores or “‘Sophomorons’’, are once more plaguing the Honor Roll, taking attendance records, « and dominating the athletic field. Our own Class of '62 is barely making headway under the bur den of an accelerated scholastic program, as, with every passing week, we approach the day when we will be graduated and released into a world for further study or for our life’s work. During the period we have spent at O’Dea many things have changed. The luck of our teams has switched from good-to-bad to good-again. The cast of the Honor Roll has alternated from quarter to quarter. The faces of new classmates have ofttimes appeared, and even familiar faces have already departed. Faculty members have come and gone, too, after having helpfully contrib- uted their share to our high school education. Yes, many things have changed, but the biggest of changes has taken place in the students themselves. This big change can be traced to the Latin expression ““Facere et Docére” — to do and to teach, the motto of the Christian Brothers of Ireland; for through the instruction and guidance of the Brothers, we have grown in wisdom and in character. The pattern of our mental, physical, and spiritual life has been set. We appreciaté the time and the help they have given us. As we ap- proach Senior Year, we will strive more and more to become the men of O’Dea. 38 Junior Class Officers Room 106 Stanley (Sec.-Treas-) deau (Vice-Pres:) nte (Pres-) Leonard Dennis Na David Belmo Room 302 Ricardo Pintado (Sec.-Treas.)

R. Lowell High school students usually revel in a variety of activities, and the expression, “‘All work no play ...’” is one they seem to take very realistically. In every Catholic High School, Religion is obviously the most important activity; for by it the students are taught, governed, and sanctified. Through growth in holiness their budding personal- ities are developed normally and healthily until they become more an d more like Him Who knows all things. This objective is, in brief, the whole scope and sublimity of Catholic Education. Through their persevering efforts and diligent application to their studies students acquire intellectual development in the different secular subjects taught in school. Class rivalry is promoted by the periodic tests or examinations given, and standards of efficiency can be com- pared by examinations given usually at the end of each school year, or by standard tests required for college entrance and the like. Extra-curricular activities such as Debate, Public Speaking, Journalism, Drama, and good reading habits are all productive of intellectual development. During their adolescent years, boys and girls mingle and meet one another and learn to adjust to the opposite sex. School dances, adequately supervised, enable the student to acquire the social graces, and the recreational habits that make life worthwhile. Despite the fact that in some ways our students in high school are precocious and worldly-wise beyond their elders, and fascinated by the sensational features of our current explosion of knowledge, too many of them resent the discipline of the physical fitmess programs as if it were too demanding or altogether unnecessary. Such students might admire an athlete in their school, but be unwilling to undergo the disciplinary training he possesses. The activities mentioned here and other less important ones are part of our school program, and the students who have the real spirit of the school are usually those who are found in several of these activities. 54 Annual Retreat Annual Retreat at Cathedral The Retreat Master prepares for Holy M Scene where Seniors made a Closed Retreat or Holy Mass Students consecrate themselves to the Blessed Virgin Benediction Father Schuster Father Manwaring 55 ES SPONSE Sodality Br.

Girls chosen from the nearby high schools are awarded points for the attendance of their school at O’Dea Football Games. These awards are coupled with the votes of the Seniors from O’Dea who attend the Coronation Ball. Thus the new Queen is selected.

The staff supervises the dances which they carefully plan in advance. The selection of the dance band, the location for the dance, and the decoration of the hall, and espe- cially the clean-up job are all part of the work of the committees. Their efforts in this connection are to be highly commended. JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE M. Johnson, J. Spagnole, M. Schaefer, R. Holdren. SENIOR PROM COMMITTEE Mr. W. Gilmore (Moderator) Front Row: J.

The Senior Students have the largest share in the work, while the Junior and Sophomore Students lend a helping hand. Details of the yearbook are considered and worked out by Seniors and on the advice of the Moderator and Company Representative. The multiples of the book are then directed to the Company for the work of processing. This takes about eight weeks. Many things have to be considered before the book goes to press: the theme, which will be carried out on the Divider Pages, the cover design, the layouts, which must be designed with imagination and balance, and appropriate headlines. The Staff members are confident that this yearbook will surpass any previous O’Dea Annual in excellence. SOPHOMORE STAFF Daniel Rathbun Paul Barbarus Michael Cooper Richard Houser BROTHER M. G.

For the Mothers’ Club the year 1960-61 was one both of tradition and exploration. Tradi- tion prevailed in events such as the Freshman Tea (in a new setting — the lovely Mary- crest Hall), the Annual Card Party at the Norselander, and the Christmas Party for the Brothers. Exploration in new fields was ventured in planning the Russian Luncheon, hosted by the Senior and Junior mothers, and the Spring Luncheon by the Sophomore and Freshman mothers. In both traditional and new activities, the underlying spirit of the mothers remained unchanged — to do their utmost to support the school and the unstinting efforts of the Brothers to achieve its purpose.

Mr. Smith, Mr. Zamberlin, Mr. Hurley ei a +. et es) te - Ol é mo If the day of a typical American boy could, like all Gaul, be divided into three parts, the division would probably be something like this: sleep, work, leisure. Now the strange thing is that while just about everybody knows how to sleep, a goodly pro- portion of people knows how to work, very few moder Americans know how to use their leisure time in active recreation. And because so very few modern students know how to use their leisure time, sports and other forms of recreation have been virtually taken over by commercial agencies — the movies — radio and television broadcasters — the professional ball clubs — and so on. We are so desperate for recreation — and so desperately happy when means are provided for our entertainment, that we are willing to pay some movie people five times what we pay the President of the United States — some television personalities ten times what we pay our Senators and Representatives — and the man who can hit or throw a baseball. better than anybody else. Professional educators have long since realized the character-building potential in sports. For this reason, the athletic director is often more influential in personality formation than are the teachers. The boy, for instance, who would never stop smoking at the advice of a teacher, will usually do so at the insistence of the coach. Another purpose of recreation through the medium of sports is its social purpose. A group that has spent an enjoyable, relaxing time together, an evening of games together will have strength- ened the bonds by which such groups live. This is what is meant by school spirit. O’Dea High School Students have had the opportunity of participating in a well-planned ath- letic program that enabled them to take part in inter high school athletics, and to test their individual and collective sportsmanship. Down through the years they have met with defeat and success at the hands of their different rivals. They have learned that life, too, is a battle in which they will either win or lose depending mainly on themselves. Sports of any kind is merely a means to an end. It develops the give-and-take attitude. For some students it comes almost naturally, but for the majority it takes a great deal to be what is known as a professional athlete. In the educational program games of all sorts have a definite part in developing the sound body without which there may not always be coupled the sound mind. The happy combination of good student and good athlete is a consummation devoutly to be desired. bee peo men r Fost ty ee MR. WILLIAM GILMORE Head Coach BROTHER O’KEEFFE MR.

Chuck Kirkey (Center) Football I, The Irish of O’Dea found another football season here, the stars of last year gone and a new head coach to lead them through this rough season that was ahead of them. The squad, large in number but little in ex perience, worked hard to get ready for the first game against Vancouver College. The high- lights started in the first quarter when the O’Dea quarterback, Pellegrini, ran 85 yards off a keeper play for the first score of the season. In the third quarter Steve electrified the crowd with a 35 yard punt return that was only made possible with the exceptional team blocking. Four times during the game Vancouver got the ball inside the O’Dea ten yard line but the defensive team led by Ray Crouse and Joe Salgado kept them in check. Final score, O’Dea — 13; Vancouver College — 0. II. Following a hard week of practice, the Irish traveled to Aberdeen where they fought hard before going down in defeat. During the first half the Irish moved the ball very well up and down the field but a number of penalties kept them in check. Neither team was able to score in the first half. It was during the last few seconds of the third quarter that Aberdeen scored on a long pass. As the final gun sounded, the Irish were on the 18 yard line of the Bobcats, having marched from their own twenty. Final score, O’Dea — 0; Aberdeen — 7. Ill. As the first league game approached , the O’Dea Irish were up in spirit but low in personnel (four- teen of the top twenty-two had been hit. by the flu) and the fight did not close until the final gun. It was an outstanding defensive effort that limited the powerful braves to three touchdowns. Final score: O’Dea — 0; Blanchet — 20. IV The annual trip to Vancouver found the Irish playing Notre Dame. Because of heavy rains and loose turf, the offensive attacks of both teams were hindered. The running of Mike Hall, who scored both touchdowns, and the defensive play of Ray Crouse and Frank Susak led the Irish to an undisputed win. The win, however, was costly because we lost the services of Tom Kovacich for the year. Steve Pelligrini, Brian Randolf and Mike Hall also received minor injuries. Final score: O’Dea — 12; Notre Dame — 0. Highlights V. With the season half over, and more than half of the team’s personnel missing because of injuries, the Irish of O’Dea had to rely on the untested re- serves. The underclassmen came through in great fashion, but lacked the necessary punch to offset the superior Bellarmine squad, which was aided by several decisive ‘‘breaks’’. Final score: O’Dea — 0; Bellarmine — 12. VI. A highly respected team from the Yakima Valley was the next opponent for the Irish. Grandview came to Seattle with a rated team and played as such, but were very surprised to find our injury riddled eleven rise to every occasion and hold off the opposition. Steve Tarabochia, Sophomore tackle, blocked a punt during the last few minutes of play, but time ran out as the Irish had the ball on the eleven yard line of Grandview. Final score: O’Dea — 0; Grandview — 0. VII. Bellingham was O’Dea’s next stop. School spirit ran high as the student body followed its team in a caravan of buses. The Irish, however, were out- manned in every department, and the Redraiders rolled on to an easy victory. O’Dea threatened to score several times, but were unable to grind out the last few yards. Final score: O’Dea — 0; Bellingham — 27 VIII. The game of the year finally arrived and the Irish of O’Dea found their team in the best physical condition since the second game of the year. The Panthers of Prep had had things their way for the last few years, but before they added another, they knew that they were in for a real battle. The in- spired play of both teams is something never to be forgotten. Two long pass plays enabled Prep to secure its touchdowns, but the ground play was vicious, and there the Irish held their own. Final score: O’Dea — 0; Prep — 13. Junior Varsity Football MR. ROMAN MILLER Coach ROW 1: P. Sullivan (Mgr.), L. Crouse, E. Johnson, M. Fallon, F. Worthing, P. Kedzior, J. Green, P. Rogojin (Mgr.).

For the first time in twenty two years the Irish of O’Dea fielded a regular Junior Varsity football team that played together and stayed together to complete an outstanding record under their coach, Roman Miller, in his first year at O’Dea. Composed of forty-two boys with the starting eleven all sophomores, the young Irish beat the Bell armine Lions J.V. team on the Tacoma field 19 to 13; tied the Blanchet Braves 14 to 14; and defeated the Seattle Prep Panthers twice: 32 to 12, and 28 to 14. Displaying an outstanding team spirit the little Irish won five, lost two, and tied one. The valuable experience and knowledge gained will undoubtedly bolster the hopes and chances for Irish success in Varsity football in the forthcoming seasons. 82 | Freshman Football MR. F. MICHAEL BR.

In Memoriam On Tuesday, February 14, Father Otmar Boesch, Administrative Assistant at St. James’ Cathedral, left Seattle for Switzerland where he had planned to spend a few months with relatives and friends. On the following day, Ash Wednesday, news reached Seattle that Father Boesch was one of seventy-three passengers who died in the crash of a jet airliner near Brussels. The news, unexpected as it naturally was, came as a shock to all at O’Dea who knew the deceased through his association with the school. We pray that his soul may repose with the bless- ed in heaven.
