Concentrating on his book is Richard Dietrichg behind him is Dan McConeghy. Dale Gross seems to be quite pleased with his schedule this year. Meanwhile in line Dianne Flaherty waits with ob- vious distaste and behind her Sue Hueb- ner chit-chats with a friend. From left to right Mary Ellen Kress, Kathy Armmon, and Elaine Koch, Third Order members, are sorting out dresses for the missions.

I Photo by John Fenske Two fellows seem to think that Mary Jo Geshiedmier is going to cheat them, the way they are concentrating on their change. I'm sure Mary Jo has no larceny in her heart, however.

The Lighter Side In response to recent demands for a credible sports column, I have conceived one that is foolproof: it is backed by Webster's New Inter- national Unabridged Dictionary. With no malicious intent toward any of the senior football players, I would like to relate my findings on the first names of the senior players. See if the meanings are significant. Blanchard, George - Husbandman Cfarmerb. It could be taken two ways. Gee, Carl-common man. Just for the record, Carl is president of his homeroom. Bross, Gary-Sorry, Gary, Mr. Webster doesn't have the meaning of your name, but at least you've got your picture on the sports page. Kozlik, David - synonymous with poet! Thompson, Bartholomew - Sorry, Bart, but it seems the apostle took up all the space. Corona, Theodore-a gift of God. What do you think of that, Mr. Elger? Heller, Robert-Bright in fame. That ought to be worth a few more touchdowns, Bob. Schreiber and Groninger, both share the name Richard which means strong like a ruler. Wucher and Guagliardo, John- impertinent or low-bred person, a boor. Remember, you guys, Webster said it, not me. Here's one of those deceiving pictures we love to put in the paper. But really center George Blanchard doesn't usually run diagonally across the field. Pius' all conference managers shown hustling as usual are, from left to right, Clin: Reidel, Mike Roller, Bob Poetzel, Tom Curley and Jim Denomie. Wilde, Thomas-a twin. You fig- ure it out, Tom. Donegan . . . I have always won- dered why Edward Donegan wants to be called by his middle name, Michael. Edward means a guard or defender, Michael means who is like God. What about that, Ed- ward? Molenda, Al, and Dentinger, Ron -Sorry, fellas, but Webster didn't mention you. We'1l have to get you in next time. Incidentally, Patrick means noble, a patrician Cmember of the upper classj. Patrick McGrath Press Picks As you look on your left, you can well understand why George Blanch- ard is the best prep center in the state. Powerful co-captain Blanchard has an extra burden on him as he is one of the indispensables in the Popes forward wall. Until Coach Elger can find a capable replace- ment, George must be counted on for all of the 48 minutes on Sunday afternoons. Coach Basile's pride and joy, thus far in his high school career, has managed to survive serious injury. But in the Mendel game George was actually knocked out on the field. Once revived, he insisted on remain- ing in the game. This is just one reason why the Brave's batboy will help lead the Big Gold to another championship. Jim Braun 14 Sports Sidelines Bowling began September 21 for Pius students. Mr. Gosling took ten teams with him on the twenty-first to Byerly Bowl to establish aver- ages. The boys have a banquet planned to close the season. They also plan to give out awards for three games and single games to in- dividuals and teams. V V V Mike Feeney, outstanding guard on the Pius football team last sea- son, is now attending St. Thomas College in Minnesota. Mike is on the second string squad for St. Thomas, though only a freshman. V V V The Rod and Rifle Club had its first meeting the week of September 27. They plan to go hunting and target practicing in the near future. V V V Incidentally, the '59 Pius XI track team grabbed the Catholic Confer- ence track title last season. The tournament was held at Marquette University Stadium. V V V Bob Heller was chosen as this year's track captain by his team- mates. Bob was State Catholic Sprint Champion last year. Neil Casey
