Ryves, Reverend Frederick Ketter, Reverend Michael P. Seter, Reverend Henry Flaherty, Reverend joseph H. Hillebrand, Reverend Kilian Schott, Reverend Eugene A. Simon, Reverend Fr. Martin, O. S. B., John j. Davis, Theresa B. Sieffert, Edward M. Schaeff fer, Albert J. Hoffman, and Edward J. Thole. MAINTENANCE. At present the expenses of the school are met by tuition fees and by a proportionate tax on each of the nine city parishes. Several scholarships are also maintained by the Knights of Columbus and by other interested individuals. STANDARDS. The school is a State accredited institution and meets all ref quirements of the State Board of Education in regard to textbooks, curricula, teachers' qualifications, building and equipment. STUDIES, At present two high school curricula are offered, the first two years of each being the same. The Classical Course is intended for those who wish to take up college work in lines other than Commerce. The Commercial course is planned for those who wish to continue in that line in college or who wish to enter the business world after leaving our school. DISCIPLINE. All matters pertaining to the internal management of the school are decided by the principal and faculty. Extrafcurricular activities are carried on under the direction of faculty members. ADMISSION. All students who have regularly finished the eighth grade are eligible for admission regardless of their creed. WITHDRAWAL. Students whose deportment or application to studies is un- satisfactory may be requested by the faculty to withdraw at any time. TUITION. Though a tuition fee is charged, it is not the policy of the school to make inability to meet this fee a hindrance in receiving any of the educational ad' vantages offered by the Reitz Memorial High Shcool. FACULTY. The Regular Faculty is made up of Brothers of Holy Cross. 24 4, , . 'fflflllfy' 0' ' lv ull , 1 1 RQGULARY .. V 4 4 6 J. 1 .. V F V - il 4 M.

' H -' ' flli L, . - 1 WZ Qllmtnrg it With our going forth into the active world we close another chapter of our school's history. Lest we should forget in after years the things that went to make up our student life, we have decided to summarize the important of these for our' selves, within the next few pages. We first entered high school on September 6, 1922. It was an important day for us and for the school in general. That was the first day Boys' Catholic High School, as it was then called, was in full operation. It had been started but three years before through the generous efforts of the Clergy and Catholic laity, and the heroic endeavor of the Brothers of Holy Cross who undertook to establish in Evans' ville, the first Catholic High School for boys. You will no doubt remember that then we were located on Third and Vine Streets, in the Trinity School. Those were truly pioneer days, but in some way enjoyable ones. But with the growth in the institution it soon became evident that new quarters were needed. Different means were resorted to in an effort to raise sufficient funds to build a new school, and just when things seemed to be moving very slow Mr. Francis Reitz came to our assistance. Everyone in Evansville knows what a great benefactor he is to education. To the delight of all concerned he decided to buy the new site and erect and pay for the school himself. How glad we were to hear this! Many of us thought that we were spending the last year in the old school. But Mr. Reitz had in mind to erect some' thing beyond the expectation of all - something monumental, and to do this it took much longer than we had expected. But we were not idle during the erection of the new building. Wonderful prof gress was made in the various school organizations. Never before were such thrilling dramas enacted by the Dramatic Club. The Glee Club reached its zenith under the able direction of Brother Agatho. More than onefhalf of the entire city heard the singers during the course of the school year. The Orchestra, begun in the early part of the scholastic term, under the direction of Mr. Henry Wulf, astonished all who heard it., The various divisions of the Athletic Club made, splendid showings and were a credit to the work of their directors, Brother Harold, faculty manager, and Mr. joseph Windbiel. Those of our friends who have, for the ,past years, been tak' ing the Echo know that it greatly improved during this year. J'The Hub, the sec' ond annual was put out in good style, and our first year at Catholic High came to a close. II. The following September 6, we returned once more, to find that some of our All l li 1 1 l 1 Y I s .. ' A '3 7 'If 5 Q .f I' --sl . W! Il ' I2',ifHlW I , I vw I - FIRST BOYS' CATHOLIC HIGH NEW REITZ MEMORIAL HIGH 30 ' - ' wg - -1--1 classmates were not with us. Then, too, we discovered that we had a new Principal. Brother William, C. S. C., had received that appointment, and it did not take us long to learn that in him we had a true friend. He took a very active part in all of our activities, and was a constant source of inspiration for us. The Glee Club made rapid progress, the Dramatic Club produced several ex' cellent plays, and Athletics was given a great boost. That year we had several foot' ball teams. Brother Harold led the varsity, Brother Fabian trained in the Sophof mores, and Brother William coached the Freshies. It seems but a very short time since we were in short pants, with our stockings rolled down as if we were real foot' ball stars. There is but one regret and that is that those days are gone. On the 24th of November the faculty moved from its old residence, 120 South Seventh, to its beautiful new home which is located to the right of the new school. Examinations, one after the other came and went. The various organizations of the school were kept busy. Before we knew it the year was closing upon us. We held our regular annual picnic and remember well some of the prizes we won. III. On September 8, 1924, we began our life as juniors. All during the summer we had watched the progress made on our new school and thought we would surely begin this year in it. But, for some reason or other, things had not progressed as rapidly as had been expected, and we were doomed to start out on our third yearly voyage in the old school ship, Trinity. I Brother Ephrem, who had been our principal during the freshman year, returned again in that capacity. Brother Fabian, who had been with usfor two years took up a newer and more extensive field of labor, that of converting the pagans in far off India. Brother Agatho, the farffamed teacher and Glee Club director was given the position as assistant superior in the Brothers' Normal School at Notre Dame. To Brother Hyacinth fell the lot of directing the Glee Club, and the results were very gratifying. We will long remember Brother Gregory as our science and math' ematics teacher. He had the knack of making those classes extremely interesting. From time to time came reports of the opening of the new building. During the Christmas holidays the best of the furniture and fixtures of our old school were removed to the new one. Now at last we were sure of beginning 1925' in the new building. On New Year's Day, Bishop Chartrand of Indianapolis dedicated the school. This ceremony was followed by a solemn High Mass at 10:30 in the audi- torium. During the Mass the Right Reverend Bishop presented Francis Joseph Reitz with the insignia of Knight and Knight Commander of the Order of Pius IX, an honor conferred upon Mr. Reitz by the Holy Father in recognition of his million dollar gift to the youth of Evansville. At noon a banquet was served in honor of the donor and six hundred guests were present at it. As soon as this was over the B4 N.

' v um' Willl'-l building was thrown open to the public. Thousands who had eagerly watched the progress of construction took advantage of the opportunity of seeing the completed structure. Pages could be devoted to describing the beauties of Reitz Memorial, but space will not allow this in our annual. We trust that the pictures found in various parts of our book will give some idea of the magnificence of the school and we gladly wel' come- all who wish to visit us, for one must see the building to fully appreciate it. Everything was moving along in first class order, when, before we fully realized it, the school year had drawn to a close. The third volume of the Hub was edited and distributed to our many patrons and friends. The final examinations came and passed into history and Reitz Memorial was inviting the people of Evansville to parf take in the first Commencement Exercises in the new building. We were sending out into the world twentyffive of our best students. The Class of '25 had the honor of being the first to graduate, but to Class '26 must go the distinction of being the first to spend a complete scholastic year in Rietz Memorial. It will, therefore, be a pleasure for us of that Class to record that history for you. IV. September 8, 1925 marks the starting point of the history of Reitz Memorial High School. Up until that time each class began as Boys' Catholic High School. Early on that morning came the seekers of knowledge. Those who had attended the former year were a little surprised to notice the changes in the faculty. Brother Ephrem, who had been our Principal was replaced in that capacity by Brother Daniel, who for the past decade of years had been Principal of Central Catholic of Fort Wayne. Brother Ernest and Brother Hyacinth were the only two of last year's faculty to come back. Brother Harold went to Fort Wayneg Brother Gregory, to New Orleans, and Brother Severin followed Brother Fabian to India. Brother Daniel brought Brother Norbert and Brother Neil along with him from Fort Wayne, and Brother Aidan came from New Orleans. All the school activities received new life and vigor. Brother Norbert took up athletics and turned out a football team in such a short time that the spectators at our games stood in wonderment. The successes of his teams in each and every line of endeavor will receive proper recognition and space in the department tos, follow. Brother Ernest was given charge of the Glee Club and the success the school attained will be discussed under the heading of Glee Club. He once more undertook to manage the publication of the school's quarterly. Formerly it was known as The Echo but it was decided to name it something more specific and the title The Memo' rial was chosen. Our many friends and patrons are thoroughly familiar with this publication, and the, comments received from them show what work has been done 1 l l 33 W is rf PRINCIPADS OFFICE , FIRST FLOQR CORRIDOR 34 t . J,-12141 ,. K- Ti: 251 25' . 'ziil L lilllllll v-' in that line. For the past three years Brother Ernest has also had charge of the ' li 'N matic Club and this year he topped off his successes with a drama of his own conf struction which you may read about under Dramatics. One of the most notable improvements on the inside of the school during this year is the library. Brother Daniel put on a drive for books, and his appeal was wonderfully responded to by the Clergy and laity. Father Seter donated several sets of reference works, as did Father Schott and Father Ketter. Mrs. Bernardin of this city also donated generously. , It is always necessary to leave the current year's history in an incomplete state, for much of it is in the making when we send our annual to the press. But we know that all we omit will be included by our successors, and to them we entrust the honor of producing an annual that will maintain and if possible improve the standard we have set, and we know that they will do it!

In our Yi 1' 41 Iv ' ..4fl,g,5f -, ' 1' AS FRESHMEN THE SENIORS - I ' - - - first year we did not have much of an opportunity to take part in many of the school activities, for the classes were all new to us and took up all of our spare time. ' 'In our second year Norber 2Endress, James Ver Wayne and Rudolph Ziemer- joined us. This yearnvve 315:01 o every activity. Some of the finest singers our school has ever kndwnlwere members of our class. Everybody still remembers how Ed Will held his listernst! In the Dramatic Club we were well represented. When Falsely Accused was presented Linus Knapp, Adam Bray, Rudolph Ziemer, Ed' ward Bussing, James Ver Wayne and Louis Mominee took good parts in it. Then, too, nearly all the basketball players were from our ranks. In football we had Cap' tain Endress, Bernard Hacker, Wendell Lensing, Louis Momineenfdgnd Robert McGanf non. If we look over the list of the members ofthe Orchestra we find that we had eleven good players. Only one of our men was on the Echo Staff, and that was Arthur Cusick. Then came our junior year. Although we had lost many of our former class- mates, we returned strong and determined to do all we could to make a name for our school. We took part in everything we could. Those of us who still had voices left became members of the Glee Club, which was under the direction of Brother Hyacinth. This year we had many of our men in the Band and the greatest share in the Orchestra. Brother Ernest always came to us for characters for his plays and he always found what he was looking for. In athletics we led the list. Endress, McGannon, Lensing, Schu, Hacker, and many more of us took active part in both football and basketball. It was during this year that the school gained al reputation on the basketball floor. We do not say that we were entirely responsible for it, but we did our share. Then camehlanuary and we moved into our new school. Things got under way immediately, and before we knew it the final examinations were wait' ing for us. In September, 1925, we appeared upon the scene as seniors. A few more of our fellciw classmen had dropped out. We found many new faces among the faculty, in fact they were all new but Brother Ernest and Brother Hyacinth. But the schoolfacg tivities seemed to be stronger than ever. Brother Norbert took up the directionlof athletics and astonished the city by the results he obtained. These we will speak of Jn their proper place. Brother Ernest called for volunteers on the Echo Staff and', the response was very great. Within a, week the quota of advertisements was obf' tained. He also was given charge of the Glee Club, and we must say that this instif tution reached its highest point under his direction. The complete history will be given in its proper place. We were also given many of the leading roles in the Dramatic Club, and for further information concerlning its activities we ask you to turn to that section. Then came the call for Ad Gettersu for the yearbook. The entire staff is made up of seniors. 5 I-.1 43 E E . ti - f , 1, M5 I ft 1 - a ff I, ,l Qi ,M 1 ,NX ,Vx '4 1,1 if.

Since that time he has moved his residence to 420 Elliott Street. He received his entire elef mentary education in St. Mary's School. When he came to Reitz Memorial he took part in everything he could, and distinf guished himself as an ad getterf' H. is on the Memorialite Staff and won his place easily. Berries has specifically stated that athf letics is his hobby. At present Harold is employed in the tailor business but hookf keeping seems to be his line. We hope to hear great things of him in the future. At his present home at 714 Wzrhash Ave' nue, Adam, ar very likable chap, was born on May 30, 1909. He attended the grade school at St. Boniface. and then entered our school. He was elected secretary of the freshman class. He belonged to the Glee Club of that same year. For the past two years he has been one of the ablest members of the Band. In his senior year Adam inf dulgcd in athletics. He won the Kiwanis medal awarded to the most influential mem' ber of the football squad who at the same time stood high in his classes. Adam played on the varsity and won a monogram. He was president of the senior class, and also an active member of the Dramatic Club. He is a member of both The Memorial and The Memorialite staffs, Adam is going to Notre Dame and intends to become an engineer. Good luck, Adam! 1 I K quiver' ' 46 H EVA A 'U A JOHN EDWARD BYRNE Eddie Eddie was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, on August 18, 1909, but moved to Evans' ville when he was quite young. When he was old enough to go to school he entered Assumption. As soon as he finished the grades he came to us and has been a popu- lar young man. For some reason or other his athletic ability was not recognized until this year. He became a varsity football player and received a monogram for his good work. He was quite a basketball player also. Of late we have found that he is skillful in the use of boxing gloves. He hasn't told us what he intends to do after graduation, but we know that he will make good in whatever he undertakes. Our best wishes go along with him. ARTHUR MICHAEL CUSICK ..Art,. Art arrived at 1222 Oregon Street about seventeen years ago. He was a fastfgrowf ing little youngster and soon was making his way to St. -Ioseph's School where he spent his first eight years of knowledge seeking. Shortly before he came to us his family moved to 1621 East Columbia Street where he lives at present. Arthur is an industrious worker. He has been on the Memorial Staff all tour yearsg the Yearbook Staff for two yearsg and has been in the Band and Orchestra for four years. He says his hobby is selling ads, and don't think he ean't sell them. He could sell umbrellas to the Es' kimos. l I 1 U Uwyfv 'f ' f 1 S Q ?

After playing basketball and football with his rattles, he started in at St. Mary's School. All through the grades he brightened the halls of that school. After completing his course there he left for St. Joseph's College where he spent his freshman year. He then came to our school. During the Hrst year with us his talents were discovered. He has been on our football team for three years. and on the basketball squad for two years. He was captain of both during the '25326 season. He was class secretary for two years. His hobby is swimming, We would like to see Norbie star at Notre Dame. K Folzie hrst saw the light of day on Janu- ary 19, 1908. His mother said that he was the best baby. and judging from his behavior as a young man we readily agree with her. He spent three years at the Burkhardt school, passed one year at Assumption. and four years at St. Benediefs before coming to us. He has been one of the best students in our class, He has been putting most of his time on commercial studies, and we hope that one day he will be a thriving business man.

He belonged to the Band and Orchestra for four years, and to the Glue Club during his freshman and senior years. He was one of the famous Quartet' ters.

IIERMAN MARTIN XVOEHLER RUDQLPH SEVERIN ZIEMER Puss Rudy Herman let forth his Grst voeiferous ex' postulationsm on February II, 1909. in Hauhf stadt. Indiana. He spent the Hrst eleven years feeding the cows and the chickens in that town, and attended the school of St, Peter and Paul up to the sixth grade, At this time he Hnished his rural career and moved to Evansville, where he Hnished the grades at Assumption. Puss has been in many activities during his four years with us. He has played the piano in the Orchestra since his freshman year. During his second and last years he was the pianist for the Glee Club. He was a member of the '25f'26 Me' morial Staff. His hobby is reading. Rudy came into this World on the 17th day of May. in 1906. and was born in a cozy little home at 1219 First Avenue. He made his grade course in St. Anthony's School. He then came to us as a freshman. Then he left for a year, hut found it best to return to school in order to get a real good position in the world. When he came back he took an active part in all activities. He was a member of the Glee Club for four years and was one of the famous Quartetters. In draf matics he was one of the stars. Rudy was also a member of the IVIemorial and the Me- morialite Staffs. He says he's going to be an undertaker, hut we feel that he is only jokf ing. Rudy has oratorical powers and we hope that he will hnd an occupation in which he can use them.

Robert Tighe, our last y+:ar's president, was called upon to make a speech. He had very little to say, so we thought we had better put in a man with more wind. Now this is no reflection on Bob, and is really nothing in favor of our choice, for when the ballots were counted Robert Klenck, also a man of few words, was chosen. Marvin Heitzman was elected vicefpresident, and Anthony Mattingly, secretaryftreas' urer. Some said there was always so little to write about the class, and still less money coming in that one man could hold both positions, and we agreed with them. When volunteers were called for the various school activities we gladly responded to all of them. Robert Klenck, Joe and Tubby Hormuth, Frank Spahn, ' Wilfred Behme and several others joined the football squad and made names for themselves. Some of the best basketball players were juniors, such as Spahn, Klenck and Mattingly. The record of the baseball, track and tennis meets will be made up later and will show us in the lead. This year we also have men on the Memorial business staff, such as Tighe, F. Gehlhausen, Teddy Ziemer and Jack Kollker. A glance at the Dramatic section of this book will show that we are not only good in athletics, but can hold our place in the arts as well. Look at the picture of the cast of The Knightly Lady. There you will find Robert Klenck, Theodore Ziemer who took the house every time he appeared, Vernie and Ernie Goodrum in their satins as seconds. This year we had two new men added to our list in the persons of Frank Spahn i and Alvin Schenk. These were formerly students of St. Boniface High School of this city. They help fill in the void made by those who discontinued. We have heard it said that our class has far more pep than the present seniors, but of course we'll not say so for ourselves, but we hope that when we are seniors we will be able to show by word and deed that we have real school spirit. We have watched with interest the work being done by the upper classmen, especially on the work of this present volume, and while we have had nothing to do with it,'except sell subscriptions, the information we derive from observing them will stand us in good stead. As a closing remark we want to say that we wish the Senior Class of '26 the best of success in whatever they may undertake. So goodbye, and good luck, God bless you!

We no longer felt like babies, for we were sophomores. We had to make good in order to give an example m to the new men. The class work was undertaken with good will, and we looked for' ward to doing great things. How well we have succeeded, time will tell. As soon as the call for athletics was made, some of our men responded. Schmitz, Weldele, McGannon, Davidson and Frankenberger made desperate attempts to make the varsity football squad. Schmitz, McGannon and Frankenberger remained on the squad until the end of the season, when the latter was given an M. Then came the '- call for basketball. Of all those who came out Thole and Weldele were the only ones ' ' ' 3 to make the first team. ' l 'l'1'i ' We seemed to be in hard luck this year in interclass events. We lost our foot' ball title to the freshies by one touchdown, and they also beat us by one point in basketball. But we have not given'up. We mean to give them a good beating next year and take the cup away from them. Then, too, we have a chance of beating them in baseball and in track, before the season is over. F For some reason or other the election of class officers was neglected until quite late in the season. When the ballot was taken Sidney Combs was made president. . We were glad that he got it, for he is an able student, and a good talker. Franken' berger was elected secretary. That's just the right position for him, for he wields if' a good pen. Then we had to get a treasurer, though we seldom have any money. U Of course everybody wanted that position, but we had to vote on it. When the votes were counted it was discovered that Englebert Determan got the position by an overwhelming majority. The sophomore class was also well represented in other activities. Albert Goelzhauser and Charles Weckesser were the two principal speakers on the Lincoln' Washington Program. We also support the school Orchestra and Band. There are seven of our men in one or other of these organizations. At present we have no representative on the Memorial Staff, but next Fall we mean to show what we can do in the way of getting ads and in writing. We also hope that our voices will be settled so that we can make a showing in the Glee Club and in the Dramatic Club. In parting we wish to congratulate the seniors upon their work during the past year, and let them know that we are behind them in all their undertakings.

We of that class are just beginning our chapter of this history of Reitz Memorial, and so it will not be possible for us to forget those who now make up that class, we shall include the names of all who registered on September 8, 1925: James Arvin, Henry Becker, Alfred Bernardin, Frederick Breivogel, Charles Buedel, Paul Buehner, Daniel Cecil, Harold Cox, Raymond Craddock, Edward Diehl, Francis Durchholz, George Eckert, Charles Egloff, john Eisterhold, Werner Elpers, Cfarence Engbers, Henry Englehardt, Thomas Englehardt, William Faust, john Flynn, Henry Forester, Carl Funke, Ludwig Funke, Raymond Gottman, Edward Greenwell, Willard Haag, Francis Heines, Orville Heitzman, Adam Helfrich, Mar' cellus Hirsch, Ray Hoffman, Roy Hoffman, Charles Hornbaker, Reuben Hughes, Walter Kettinger, Albert Kiesel, Lester Kohl, Eugene Kohmescher, Paul Mattingly, Edward Maday, Edward Meredith, Walter Miedrick, Holman Miller, James Moehlen- kamp, George Morris, Oscar Neale, Clarence Nieten, Laurence O'Brien, William Os- terman, Eldon Reising, Frederick Reisinger, Herbert Reisinger, Alfred Riecken, Eu' gene Russell, E. B. Schenk, james Schubert, Irvin Schilling, joseph Shetler, Albert Schulte, Francis Stader, joseph Ubelhor, Alfred Wagner, James Wayne, Victor Will, Paul Winzler, Henry Wolf. We have been told that freshmen usually do not get into many school activities, but we want to say that in this respect we are different from other freshmen. One glancing at the pictures of the football squads will see George Eckert, Henry and Thomas Englehardt. In basketball we have no men on the varsity but we won the cup for the interclass games, and to get that it was necessary for us to down all the other classes. In the Glee Club we had Oscar Neale, Francis Stader, Albert Schulte, Paul Winzler, Clarence Engbers, a soloist who was heard over WGBF, Holman Milf ler and Harold Cox. In the school band even we have two of our members, Marcel' lus Hirsch and Oscar Neale. The junior Orchestra is made up of nearly all freshmen. A glance at the picture in the section entitled Activities will show Reuben Hughes, Albert Schulte, Henry Becker, Marcellus Hirsch, Alfred Bernardin and Alfred Rieckf en. John Eisterhold also belongs to the Orchestra, but he was sick at the time when the picture was taken. The only two activities we have had no part in so far are the Dramatic Club and the school publications, Next year we hope to be well repref sented in these. N1 .

Under his able direction the organization developed rapidly. The boys took interest in the work and within a very short time we had a band which we could be proud of. Not all boys would be willing to sacrifice their recreation periods for several days a week for the sake of music, especially during the fine warm days of spring and summer when the call of the outfof-doors is so strong. But our boys have sacrificed these periods and will appreciate when they get older much more than they do now just what this musical education means. Graduation took away from us Fred Stock, Rush Franke, Martin Scott, Tom Pike and Alfred Mendez, but with the opening of school in September, 1925, there were others who were anxious to fill the places thus made vacant. Many of our present members partook in the successes of the first band and have returned to do what they can this year. For some reason or other the musical directors were not hired in September, 1925, but were obtained in November. The two months' delay, together with the addition of new material made it impossible for us to be in shape as soon as we would like to have been. But when the work was undertaken rapid progress was made. By the time the basketball season opened up we were in condition to play at all of the home tilts. We hope that by next football season we will be a complete and strong organization to render our assistance upon the field. Our Band took part in the Lincoln-Washington Exercises which were held in the Auditorium on Washington's birthday, and also in the exercises in connection with the distribution of football monograms. We regret very much that we have not uniforms for our members. We are looking forward to the opening of next year's season, for by that time we will be in better shape and in better condition to get the required material. Before this book comes from the press we shall have put on our first public concert for this year. We shall merely put in the program for that occasion and leave to the succeeding historif ans to give an account of the success of that undertaking. A band is quite an essential institution in a high school and we sincerely hope that some of our patrons will assist us.

' ,lglll The history of the school Orchestra is as old as the school itself, but the' greatest 4 J in r amount of enthusiasm was shown when a regular teacherlwas appointed to have -P., charge of it. Mr. Harry Bell, a noted musician of this city, was secured for the prof - motion of the Orchestra. Under his able direction this activity of our school ref A ceived a great impetus. Instruments were purchased by the school and a number of boys were given lessons free of charge to them. Every help that could possibly be given was given. During the last school year we were able to give a creditable conf cert as well as help out in various other activities. With graduation in 1925 we lost Rush Franke, Martin Scott, Fred Stock and Alfred Mendez. But when the Orchesf tra was reforganized in November it was found that there were some to fill in the .ll vacancies. Joseph Mattingly, our star trombone player, was the only one of those not graduating to be lost to us, and this only on account of poor health. joe intends I to return to us next year. At present our Orchestra is made up of the following: Herman Woehler, pianf . istg Robert McGannon and William Fink, violinistsg Eugene Schu, bass violing Wil' ' fred Behme hand Charles Echert, clarinetsg Arthur Lamey and Edward Schaffstein, saicophonesg Linus Knag and Anthony Mattingly, cornetsg Wendell Lensing, tromf boneg Arthur Cusick, French horng and Charles Walters, drums. ,Q We have one regret in regard to our Orchestra and that is that graduation will greatly reduce its numbers and at present there are not enough to fill in the vacancies. The following seniors are now members of the Orchestra and ,will leave us in june: . Herman Woehler, Robert McGannon, Eugene Schu, Linus Knapp, Wendell LensQng ' ' T 255 and Arthur Cusick. We only hope that the incoming freshmen will have some bud' P IQ 'A ding musicians among them. V Parents should take a great interest in the musical education of their children. A ' 1 .5-U With the two teachers we have especially for music it is possible to develop an or' chestra and a band that would be second to none. The boys should be encouraged Y ' Tl at home to try to become members of one or other of these? organizations The 'xl 5 3 ' Y school has many instruments and it hopes to get more soon,,a.rLd gives all the -lessons A V ' ji free of charge.

JUNIOR ORCHESTRA R. Hughes, Mr. Bell, A. Schulte, H. Becker. M. Hirsch. A. Bernardin, E. Dctcrman, H. Frcihaut, A. Riecken, Mr. Adams, C. Weckesser. With the hope of filling in vacancies made by graduation each year, and with the desire of not holding back the older men who have been playing in our Orchesf tra, a Junior orchestra was begun. All those who are just beginning, or who are not far enough advanced to belong to the regular orchestra are members of this orf ganization. We have been quite successful this year in getting boys to take up music. Mr. Bell and Mr. Adamsihave both worked hard and while the number could be double, still they have been able to make a successful showing. The following are members of the Junior Orchestra: Alfred Bernardin, pianistg Alfred Riecken, john Eisterhold, Charles Weckesser and Herman Freihaut, violinistsg Henry Temple, tromf boneg Henry Becker, baritoneg Marcellus Hirsch and Englebert Determan, melof phonesg Albert Schulte, snare drumg and Reuben Hughes, bass drum.

N ' V -'f Q ll T , 21- Efinliiii .V ,l.', - ' 4 ff Eramatira , f Many a fine drama has been enacted since we were freshmen but we believe m that there has never been one so well acted and so well attended as was The Knightly Lady, written and directed by Brother Ernest. For the past four years he has been directing our dramatic endeavors, and we believe that he crowned all of his past successes with the play just mentioned. We had been looking forward toward its production last year, but for some reason or other he was not able to give it, and we were more than glad when we learned that he meant to give it this year. Brother found it quite difficult to give out the parts, for there were so many eager to take a role. After serious study the cast was chosen and rehearsals began. We came out to the school four and five times a week and stayed until about ten o'clock as there was no other time but the evenings to do the work in. Finally November 27 was set for the play and the tickets began to sell rapidly. ' As the drama had to deal with the days of the French Revolution it was necesf sary to procure furniture and costumes in keeping with that period. Mrs. Charles Rudd of this city came to our rescue and furnished elaborate suites, draperies and ornaments. She also came out and helped us arrange them to produce the best ef- ' fect. We can still remember the remarks made when the curtain was drawn, for there before our eyes was a truly palatial drawing room, just the thing we wanted. Many people told us that it was worth the price of admission just to behold the beau' tiful settings and the costumes, to say nothing of the superb acting on the part of each and all of the characters. The costumes used were procured from Chicago. A I glance at the cast as pictured on the following page will convince one that nothing was spared to make the scenes realistic. The costumes were of satins and velvets I and the best the fumishers could supply. At last the time came. Nearly nine hundred people were gathered in our audif torium to witness the spectacle. It was the greatest crowd we had ever drawn. A thrill of expectancy went through the spectators as the house lights went off and the .curtains slowly parted. Exclamations of astonishment and awe arose together with a thunderous applause as Gil Hummel and Adam Bray, as Mademoiselle Rosamund and M. Vicomte de Cartier, respectively, began to speak. It would be very difficult for us to say which one took his part the best. The complete cast was as follows: I-... .. ' -, 1 .ij 5 4 i 'J 5- -E Aa...

I N .xt ..- -. - C5122 Qllnh Q From the very first year of our existence as a high school our Glee Club has p Li held a prominent place in our activities. We look back with pleasure and pride upon the accomplishments attained under the able direction of Brother Agatho, and Brother Hyacinth, but we believe that this year we even surpassed our record. Our I Principal gave Brother Ernest charge of the club this year, and he entered into the work with the enthusiasm he has always shown in what he considers his hobby- I Dramatics, and we all know what he has achieved in that field. Brother chose about twentyffive singers, and with few exceptions this number was kept through the whole year. In less than one month from the time of our organization we made our ' g first public appearance. As space does not permit us to write about each of our en' tertainments, we will give but our schedule. I .Oct. 12-We sang Golden Jubilee Benediction at the Poor Clares.

N. Iiuhliraatinnn The history of our school publications is as old as the school itself. When we started as freshmen we had little interest in this particular activity, for it was some' thing entirely new to us. Of course it was hardly possible for us to write anything worthy of publication in those days, but we could have taken more interest in selling subscriptions than we did. But when we noticed what a wonderful publication our quarterly really was our interest was aroused. The second year we had Brother Ernest in English and as he had charge of The Echo it was not long before we were writing stories and verses which he thought of sufficient literary merit to warrant their publication. Of course we then showed enthusiasm and worked harder to get something in the next issue. We will now review the history of our two pub' lications. THE ECHO The name of our quarterly publication was The Echo. It was begun by Brother Ephrem and was published under his supervision up until the ,time we started to school. That year Brother Ernest came as instructor in English and the Principal made him the faculty supervisor. We had read copies of The Echo previous to our attendance at Boys' Catholic High, and noticed that the issues which came out durf ing our freshman year were better in many ways. Then when we became sophof mores we tried hard to get on the Literary and Business Staffs. Arthur Cusick was the only one of our number to get on the staff during his freshman year and through hard work succeeded in being reappointed each successive year. He is the only one who can boast 'of being connected with the publication during his entire high school course, and we can say that we are proud of him. During our junior year George Heil was made a member of the Business Staff. Our paper continued to improve and its list of subscribers increased wonderfully well. We were striving to make it a worthy souvenir of our school, and a publication that could hold its place among the quarterlies put out by any other high school in the State. And we know that it can. Our Exchanges spread over many States of the Union and even find their way to foreign countries. The comments we receive are, and always have been, favorable. 1 Q 79 K A-1 Q. . assi ' f7..fua.ssfa'EwE'::'1 ,Wx W lll giQ. .. THE MEMORIAL For the past two years we have been considering a change in the name of our publication. While The Echo is a good name, in a way, still there is nothing in it which would suggest to the reader the school from which it issued. When we got settled down in the new school the idea of naming it The Memorial came to our minds. Our supervisor was about to suggest the change when our new Principal, Brother Daniel, suggested it to him and we were glad to follow the idea. So when the first issue in 1925 came from the press our readers received the first copy of The Memorial. When the call came for Ad Gettersn it was quickly responded to. Interest in the school publication had become so great that everyone wanted to get on its staff. But we seniors were determined not to be put second in the race. Within a week we had the necessary quota, and Adam Bray, Edwin Will, Herman V 80 Eminem, - - v Lf --N ,f X. Woehler, George Heil, Arthur Cusick, Rudolph Ziemer, Sylverius Griese and Her? man Rusche were the successful seniors. They worked very hard and the result of their efforts is apparent on each and every page of The Memorial. We have but one regret, and that is that we are leaving, but we go forth knowing that the present juniors will fill our places and produce a paper worthy of the School, the Faculty and themselves. It is a precious heritage which we give to them. W THE HUB The Hub was the name of 'our yearbook. It was first published when we were freshmen. Brother Ephrem conceived the idea and the first issue was put out under his direction. It was a rather large volume, and in truth a fourfyear book as it contained the history of the school up until that time, a period of four years. As it is a senior publication we had nothing to do with it, except to watch its growth and improvement and to look forward to the time when we should be the ones to be its editors. And now the time has come. But with this as with The Echo a change in name to something more specific and indicative of the school would be an improve- ment. When a call was put in for students to collect the sufficient amount of ad' vertising matter to partly defray the expenses each and every senior promised to do his share in the work. Many were busy with athletics every evening after school, and some had jobs which took up that time, but all tried. Those who were the most successful will be put on the Staff. And now the history of The Hub is finished. 4 THE MEMORIALITE It was not such an easy matter to find a new name for our yearbook. We wanted to get one suggestive of the school, and one that would not be too long. After much deliberation The Memorialite' was chosen. The first of the two char' acteristics we wanted our publication to have was found in the new name, but the second we could not attain. But we believe that the name will be liked by all. It is one of those titles which one must hear often, and the oftener it is heard the better one likes it. So we, the seniors of '26, are sending forth for the first time, this new souvenir, The Memorialitef' with the hope that it will find itself a happy partner of the other three yearbooks which have gone before it. Those who come after us may see fit to change the name again, but we, its editors, leave that to them to decide. We have done what we think best, and that is all that lies in our power to do. Even 81 1 t'Qlll P4 - - ' ,,, lllllllf though the name may change, it will be a souvenir of the senior class of our Alma Mater, and as such will be dear to us. If we, in the compilation of this volume, have produced a work worthy of those who have made our pleasant school life possible, we feel that we have accomplished a great work indeed. And in going forth from Reitz Memorial into the great world we hope that the perusal of this book, from time to time, will give us courage and strength to meet the difficulties that will arise, for within the covers of this volume is packed much more than the lines and pictures can say. 1: T H 'Ar ,, 82 Bunk ZHnur Athlriirz A ' ' gf All 2 ' V, ':.' 5 f ifnnthall x 'P' In the past few years Boys' Catholic High School could at the end of the'season, only rest upon her glories of sportsmanship but this year Reitz Memorial High School showed that victories could be gained while sportsmanship still ruled. This year for the first time in the history of the school can we claim victories on the gridiron. Though we have not won all of our football games during the past season yet we have brought out more vividly than before the true meaning of our title, The Fight' ing Irish. We have fought against great odds yet throughout the various contests the real neverftofdie spirit was shown throughout. The sportsmanship and grit of our team was the feature of every game won or lost. Nineteen twentyffive was really our first season of organized football. Brother Norbert, C. S. C., came to us with his fighting spirit and organized the athletics of the school. Heretofore our teams were trained and coached by the members of the team but with our new mentor things were changed for the better. We had a boss whom all respected and obeyed and for whom every member of the squad was willing to give their last ounce of energy. All the glory of the season cannot go en' tirely to the members of the squad of this season but some must go to the pioneers who had fought the uphill battle in the years past and through whose efforts and def termination football was kept in the minds of the students. Brother had his hands full when he took over the position of athletic director of the school. There was no equipment at hand and the boys were untrained. But the obstacles which Brother met did not dampen hisispirit. They seemed only to bring out his love for the school. With untiring effort he managed to obtain suff ficient funds to equip over fifty boys for football and to take care of the numerous .

Not only was Brother able lto manage to get funds to carry the team through the football season but at the end of the season seventeen boys were awarded monograms and sweaters. Ourlfootball' seasonopened against our old rival, Carmi, who had in previous years given us several defeats. With the new style play which we had and with the grit and Ere which had been instilled into the team we defeated Carmi to the tune of 33 to O. To our next foe, jasper College, who likewise held victories over us, we dealt out the same medicine of defeat. Bosse, Central, Reitz and Boonville with teams of experienced players gave us our defeats. Though the boys fought: nobly yet the odds were too great to overcome. The season brought out several stars or rather martyrs to the cause. Robert McGannon who gave promise of being one of the fastest halfbacks of this section was lost to the team after the first game due to a broken bone in his ankle. He did not recover from the injury until basketball season. Bernard Hacker, who the season before fought with a broken shoulder against the strong Central team, received again this season a severe injury. In the game against St. Xavier of Louisville a cartilage in his 'right knee snapped and he was laid up for several weeks. But above all others stands our ever glowing athlete, Norbert Endress. Again as in previous seasons he has proved himself an athlete superb. It was due to his un' ceasing Jfighting and encouragements that he was able to lead his team to victories. He was mentioned as AllfCity tackle and also AllfSectional tackle. . Bob Klenck, the captain for the coming season, also covered himself with glory by his everfpresence at the receiving end of forward passes. Bob was recognized as an A1l'City end.

'Eau knthpall Hardly had the lastwhistle resounded on the football field when the first call for basketball candidates was sounded. Over thirty boys answered the call but the prospects for a winning team seemed slim. For the first few weeks of practice a veil of mystery and loom hovered over our camp. Among the boys who answered the call only two were from the squad from last year and it was evident that they were by no means in condition for the game. But when has the school failed? Never. From the group of inexperienced players Brother Norbert selected six with whom he spent most of his time drillinglhome the fundamentals of the game, and as the season progressed it was evident that he made no mistake in his selection of players. Though at the beginning it looked as though a mistake was made for four of the players had no experience in the game and were not as good shots as some who were not se' lected, yet when the real tests came the boys proved themselves worthy. Too much praise cannot be given to the student body who so loyally supported the team throughout the season. Each game saw an increase in the attendance. Vkfhen We played Central in the College Gym over three hundred were tumed away from the doors because the gym was entirely filled. Fans were hanging on the rafters and sitting in the windows. Basketball has won, a warm spot in the hearts of many. Though we only lost about sevegt games yet the season as a whole can be really considered as successful. We met our first defeat by the hands of our old rivals, Gibault. We lost two thrilling games by onefpoint margins: one to the Indiana Catholic State Champions, Decatur, and one to St. Xavier, the National Catholic Champions. We lost the last game on St. Xavier floor when all things were against us. But the glory of the season came when we defeated our civic rivals, Bosse, two games.

Norbert Endress, Frank Spahn Robert MeGannon. 88 9- --' :T-1-ff' x H -Y 9 N, lx naw ' Special praise is due to each member of the team. The first member of the squad that stands out in our hall of basketball fame is our own Norbie Endress, on whom the responsibility of captaincy fell. Norb was there in every moment of every game. He fought until he dropped. During the most part of the season Norb generalled his team from the floor guard position. He did his duty well. The paper selected him as an AllfCity Guard. He received the Knights of Columbus award for the most valuable athlete of Reitz Memorial High School. Robert Peanuts McGannon was the next in line for honors. Peanuts was the real brains of the team as well as the most feared player. Vvhen he could not dribble or pass he shot. His distance from the basket made no difference for the ball found its way there. Peanuts will be lost to the team for next year and his loss will he the most felt. TwofPoint Thole, the midget of the team, was the real threat of the team. By his eelflike activities he was able to bring the ball time after time within scoring shooting distance and shoot he did. Pete will be back next year. Every game saw great improvement in Spahn and Klenck, the other members of the regular five. Spahn, small in stature, was a tower of strength as a backguard. What he did not have in height he made up by his catlike leaps into the air. He has the satisfaction of not being outjumped throughout the season. Bob was the tipfoff man and his work under the conditions was far more than satisfactory. Wendell Lensing, Anthony Mattingly, and Francis Weldele were the ones who were held in reserve. They made the team. Ji 1 IMA .I ' i 89 '-sl . 'FSI Dec. 17--Memorial ....... Dec. 21-Memorial ........... Dec. 23-4Memorial ........... Dec. 28-Memorial ........... Jan. 1-Memorial ...........

The school was surprised one day in March when the call for candidates for a baseball team was sounded. We never expected to be represented on the diamond. It was beyond our hopes or expectations. Over thirty boys answered the call. Brother Norbert who has coached us in all our sports so far felt that it was necessary to call for assistance in this sport because he still had to deal spring practice in football and the basketball team had a couple of games to be played. Linus Glaser, a pitcher of the Bloomington Threefl League, came to his assistance. Coach Glaser handled the baseball team and rounded it into shape until Brother Norbert was relieved of his duties. U Up to date and under the tutelage of two coaches the baseball team has its first three games. Mt. 'Vernon, Cynthiana and Douglass were the victims. Our victory over the latter gave us a place in the limelight of the city. The baseball prophets of the various papers predicted that we would receive a drubbing from Douglass but their prophecy was all wrong. Our team is well equipped, due to the numerous friends which the school has. Peanuts McGannon is the leader of the team. He is proving to be a very capable leader as well as a shortstop. Rusche, Schu and Echert are doing the work on the mound while Endress, McGannon, Thole, Schmitz and Spahn are taking care of the bases. Al Schenk and Tony Mattingly are doing the receiving. Mayer, Klenck, Hormuth, Bray, Koll- ker, Beike and Griese are doing great work in the meadows. Before the season closes we will meet the following schools in twofgame series: Bosse, Reitz, Central, Douglass, Boonville, Cynthiana, Mt. Vernon, St. Meinrad, New Harmony and Owensville. l A 91 N.

When our surprise over having a baseball team was about subsided another surprise was sprung. We were to have a track team, a tennis team and a golf team. Coach Paul Ellis was secured to handle the boys in the thinclads. The coach's eagle eye spied more than one track star, and with these he built up a track which will, as far as indications go, bring honor and glory to the school. Robert McGannon, the captain of the baseball team and the star basketball player, was elected captain of the track. He is noted as a dash man, a pole vaulter and a high jump man. His feats on the field already show that he will bring home a number of first places for his team. So far the following schools have been placed on the schedule: Sturgis, Ky., Boonville, Petersburg, Princeton, Bosse and Reitz. I TENNIS: Over twenty boys have handed their names in for the tennis squad. Though we had not as yet an opportunity to find out what material. we have in this sport yet from the reports about the boys who have listed their names tennis will like the other sports bring honor to the school. GOLF: Golf like tennis is yet unknown to us. What honor this sport will bring to the school is still unforeseen. We hope for the best. About fifteen boys of the school have handed their names in for this sport. It is not unknown to them because we have a number of caddies in the student body. When it comes to sports we have it.

'- ' ' THE MONOGRAM CLUB In order to foster and maintain al true loyal spirit towards the school the athletes of the past seasons have formed themselves into what is now known as The Reitz Memorial High School Athletic Monogram Club. The Club was one more of Brother Norbert's ideas of expanding and develop' ing the athletics at the school. The boys who won their monograms in football took up his idea and formed the Club. Brother Norbert was the chairman of the first of the Club and he now holds the position of honorary president and advisor of the club. The following members are registered as chartered members: Adam Bray, Vernie Goodrum, George Echert, 'Edward Byrne, Sylverius Griese, james Ver Wayne, An- thony Mattingly, Robert Henn, Linus Knapp, Robert Klenck, Anthony Hormuth, Frank Spahn, Robert McGannon, Wendell Lensing, Norbert Endress and Ferdinand Schmitz.

Treasurer Robert McGannon, James Ver Wayne and Frank Spahn were placed on the Rules Committee while Ferdie Schmitz, Bob Henn and Linus Knapp were given the duty of drawing up the Ritual of Initiation. On Sunday afternoon, April 18, the first initiation was held. Pete Thole, Gil' bert Hummel, Francis Wedele, Bernard Hacker and Elbert Williamson were the victims of the afternoon. The Club extends a cordial invitation of membership to all those of past years who have received a monogram from the school. The chosen motto of the Club is: Reitz Memorial always first. 94 EN M -- E Cjw 725 55 -QQ U 54 me QU -5 an Hai E-W E55 '.-E P. ,ULD-1 C-E Cul mga!
