Physical Education 1 AdmuiMbuituHt Father Van Ackeren. who enrolled at Rockhurst too late last year to receive full credit for the term, is finishing his freshman year asi president. His efficient manner and keen-interest in the students has already won for him the respect and affection of the entire student body. Father Bernert may well be considered a member of the class of 52. He came to Rockhurst with this year's graduates, and is now completing, summa cum laude, four years as principal. May he remain at Rockhurst for many years of post-graduate work.

Although only sixteen strong, we are unusually well heard. On entering, proceed with caution! This is no ordinary class. As you come through the door you will probably trip � ver Andy Kramer's long legs as he stands reading the bulletin board, and fall onto Tom Murphy who sits in the front seat. When you have picked yourself up you will notice ’Little Joe Bukaty being threatened by Denny Smith. Far back in the corner you will see Bill Hornbeck. Bill Kraper. Earl Hogan and Peter Wolcott in deep consultation, concocting profound questions for the day’s classes. In the opposite corner Larry Foster may oe seen taking a well-needed beauty nop. As you move along, be careful not to disturb Fred Hale and Harold Keating in their toothe-and-nail game of aisle hockey . In a huddle up front we find Don Donnelly. Jim Mich-ler and Dave Easterday comparing their homework, as Jim Koch looks over their shoulders and. in typical fashion, insistently repeats: We didn’t hove any homework, did we? So now you have had a quick typical glance at this extraordinary collection of Rockhurst prodigies, all excepts yours truly. Well, yours truly was conveniently absent! Harold Keating Andrew Kramer William Kraper James Michler Thomas Murphy Dennis Smith Bert Walters Peter Wolcott flutuosi 305 Vignettes of the present inmates of class 305 some years hence: John Amick—still trying to get sugar out of Sugar Creek. Mike Crowe—sole author of the currently best-selling book A Couple Of Questions '. Don Deister—recounting with just pride the tremendous progress made by his native Parkeville. Bill Donnelly—business manager for the Kansas City Blues. Allan Fanning—principal advisor to the Secretary of Agriculture. Mike McCanless—representing Jackson County in the Missouri House of Representatives. Royce Fugate—highly successful manufacturer of men’s clothing. Jim Gleeson—the old redhead is his nickname among his fellow sports announcers. Greg Hodes—top character actor on TV. Bill Finucane— operating a counselling service specializing in the repair of broken hearts. John Houlihan—noted lay theologian. Ed Ingenthron— Greasy is a top contender in the Indianapolis Speedway Classic. Kenny Krug—golf pro at St. Andrew's. Eddie Houlehan —teaching school at Rockhurst! Dick Ong—operating a critical service in competition with the National Scholastic Press Association. John Perry—excuse me, Doctor John Perry, well-known neuro-surgeon. Dan Reed—shortshop turned grounds-keeper. Tom Maloney—Mr. District Attorney. Bob Riley—still chasing tennis balls. Al Robinson—playing professional football. Dick Sinclair—authority on automobiles. Clarence Sloan—authority on electric organs. Jim Sitlington—authority on all kinds of insurance. Bob Smith. Jim Walsh, and Jerry Waterman operating the powerful Kansas City machine- headed by The Boss Waterman. Frank Woods—Bill Finucane's chief competitor. fjiuuotl 305 (Class Writeup on page 18) Michael McCanles Thomas Maloney Richard Hengee Robert Kelley John Kirchner John Leonard Thoma McGrath James Mahan Leo Re tier fju+u i 308 It takes all kinds of classes to make up a school, and so ... . Class 308 must have a place in the scheme of things at Rockhurst. It is sometimes difficult to guess, though, just what that part may be. Perhaps by examining the ingredients we can guess more accurately. There is Henry Abella, who spends half his life worrying about his homework and the other half doing it. And Mike Archer, the peren-ial Pecks' bad boy . And Keith Whittaker, fast becaming another Ed McCauley (in appearance, that is). And John Delaney, a breath of the ould sod . And Tom Hanrahan, with an inexhaustible fund of irrelevant questions. And Bob Becker, the soul of innocence in the midst of mischief. And Ray Halsel, so well acquainted with the office! And Dick Henges, who with Bob Toliver handles so well the class finances. And Bob Kelley, who can't possibly be that sleepy. And Long John Kirchner, needing (plenty of room to stretch his legs, but unwilling to sare any of his length with John Leonard who could so well use some. And Tom McGrath, a good man to contact to find out what's cooking . And Jim Mahan, perpetually placidly happy, even on the brink of disaster. And fearsome Jerry Butch Mahoney, who some day will be caught for driving his bike without a city license. And Jim Nero, who occasionally forgets assignments. And Joe Teasdale, dividing time between class ana the great outdoors. And Don Minotti, staunch believer in the old adage, When in doubt, punt. And Dick Roesch, the budding orator. And Carl Orlando, claimant for the dramatic crown of Orson Welles. And Bob Rafter, well-known at Windmoor. And Leo Retzer. the old reliable. And, finally, Jack Shine, to report back on the skullduggery that goes on in those Central Committee meeting. There you have the ingredients. Mix them up and see what you get! Dominick Minotti Corf Orl� n Robert Rafter Richard Roesch John Shine Joseph Teasdale Robert Toliver Kent Whittaker Lee Miller So luMUJOAe. Class 203 is composed of a group of Sophomores of all classifications. Schweiger tops the class for being tall while little Lee Miller, serving his second term as class president, is the smallest. The other Sophomore officers also comei from our class: Byrne, Dougherty, and Pleimann. Altman, Fuller, O’Brien, and Stull hope to take the championship for the bowling league. In the morning it's Bombeck's job to take up the Mission collection, as he tries to keep our class on the top of the list. Out in the hall it's Van Bpsien or Brady trying to make the last bell before Religion begins and Mr. Haas telling Keary, Mathews. Rielley, and Lorenz that the bell has rung and class is going to start. Later on we find Doring, Eckart, and Fetters trying to get one last drink at the new water fountain before English class starts. Then Mr. Udick tries to explain something to Musso and Robertson and has to knock Minzey on the head a little to make himself heard. Wood is asking Walker if he will play in the basketball game to-night while Verde and Richard are doing their Latin homework. WALTER FULLER Frank Minzey f5l I Louis Musso Thomas O’Brien Dennis Pleimann James Richard Michael Walker Mac Wood Thomas Henninger BofUtomosie The next classroom on our journey around the school is 205. Let's take a quick look and see what ij going on. Jim Balestrere is trying to absorb Father Wallace’s explanation of Social Justice, and Jerry Cahill is hurrying to finish last night’s homework. Tom Colwell is trying hard to borrow a pencil from Stan Gar-nett, while Bill Craddock prepares an argument for Father Wallace about freedom of speech. Johnny Dolan meanwhile is trying his best to upset Jim Fitts pile of books. Frank Mick is trying, with his usual success, to make Jasper Harris laugh. Jim Henninger is struggling to keep awake, as Jim Hentzen just sits and listens, and Joe Hueser scratches his head over a problem in geometry. Bob Massman is anticipating the probable reaction when Mr. Udick discovers he doesn't have any homework. Tom Grimsley is trying to behave; Jack Miller still thinks he is right about that history question. Wayne Naylor and Bob Nestel argue over the winner of last night’s game, and Ronny Perkins wonder whether he will ever again score twenty points in one night. The three Jerries. Recob, Sullivan, and Waters are contributing their share of commotion. Bill Richmond is puzzling over Mr. Hilbert’ most recent job (?) :and Dave Spivey is improving his hook shot, hooking pieces of paper toward the waste basket. Now. that we have seen 205. what nave we seen? Was it worth the time and effort. Perhaps we had better move on! ! ! !

I found myself wondering what we would all be doing fifteen years from now. Sinking lower into my chair, I began to day-dream. It is 1967, and a reunion is in progress. Dave Biersmith, Pete Churchman, and Jack O'Keefe are playingl professional basketball in New York, under manager Jackie Farrell. Jerry Cooke is learning banking from the bottom up, he is assistant to the assistant of the assistant cashier! Joe Frick and Harry Waggoner, who graduated from the college with high honors in Latin, are now teaching at Notre Dame. Eugene Link has recently become part owner of a used-car lot which sports all the latest models; Henry Kolenda is his top salesman. Ed Lonergan is selling all kinds of insurance. George McLiney is a leading contender for the U. S. middleweight title, managed by Bob Switzer. Tom Madden is headwaiter at Marazino's swank restaurant on the Plaza. John May is following his father's footsteps at the First National Bank, where Jim Myers is cashier. Home for a few days from their studies are Ronald Paul and Tom Purcell, both of which are now in the Jesuit order. Karl Schroer and Mike Stomp, who are flying Constellations for TWA, flew in just in time for the meeting; but Mike Naughton, in government diplomatic service in India, was unable to attend. What a dream! Thomas Madden John May Gerald Roger! Michael Degan Patrick Healy John Kieffeber John Madden John Quirk Michael Borserine Stephen Bradish Donald Coffin Emil Paste 0 Ei t Richard Dolce Thomas Fleming Daniel Foley 3.03. The year is 1970. In the big new twenty-three-story hotel built and owned by Fleming Company, we are gathered in the Blue Room for a class reunion. First to arrive is Bogert. owner of the Bogert Printing Co. Close behing him comes Bradish, now a world-famous ski-jumper in the Austrian Alps. Coffin and Foley have stopped off on their way to Africa to hunt big game. Colonel Degan is stationed with the American troops in England; Lieutenant Commander Menhouse is attached to the U. S. Fleet in the Mediterranean. Dolce, home briefly from Paris, has acquired quite a reputation as a painter. Speight and Madden own a coast-to-coast chain of restaurants. Fathers Nelson and Howard, now members of the Jesuit order, have recently had an audience with the Holy Father. Kieffaber has acquired renown as a trapeze artist with Healy's circus. Mahan owns a chain of drug stores in Chicago, and came to New York with McGowan and Dasta. well-known sports announcers. Smith is head of the history department at Rockhurst; during the summer he works with an archaeological expedition. Sprung and Wright own a controlling interest in the Yankee Stadium and assure us of choice seats at the next world series. Many of us traveled to New York in a Stratoliner piloted by classmates Peterson and Hauber. Oh. well, dreams are free, aren’t they? « Michael Bcrserine Jerome Hauber Robert Howard ) Robert McGowan Daniel Peterson James Smith John Speight Kenneth Sprung Michael Wright p Le m Alderman Nicholes Bonure John Martin John Redmond Thomas Spreitzer John Alfergott John Lasker Frank Mazzuca Marion Reno Michael Sullivan (Class writeup James Toliver Jerome Aziere Chandler Hassett Raymond Luce Charles Schorgl Robert Wagner Kevin Amick Phillip Anderson Patrick Finnigan James Gleeson 105 page 28) Gary Vogelbaugh Paul Murphy David Richards James Biersmith James Hueser Thomas Lyan i Beshara Orr Norbert Sheahan Warren Wahlstedt Charles Abbick Michael Colli ns Ale George James Kenworthy Gerald Meiners Harvey .

Alder man would be sharpening a handful of pencils so he could take on Bonure in a duel. Altergott most likely would be wondering what the history test would be like while Amick would be dreaming of how many points he was going to make in the basketball game that night. Anderson would be opening the windows while Aziere would be closing them. Biersmith would be all cuddled up in a ball right next to the radiator while Hueser would be freezing. Hasset. no doubt, would be telling Johnson about his extra-curricular activities” for that week. Gleeson and Finnigan would be teamed up against Vogelbaugh and Toliver in a spit-ball fight while in front of the room Richards. Wagner. Redmond, and Ninci would be practicing basketball by shooting paper into the basket from their seats. Dierks would be trying to figure out why five times zero isn’t five, while Lasker tries to explain the reason to him. Luce. Lynn, and Mar-tin would would be arguing over who founded Rome, with Martin doing most of the talking. Mazzuca and Murphy would be wonder ing which one of them would get a ride home on Reno’s motorcycle. O’Connor and Orr would be talking about Father Keenoy's favorite subiect the Atom Bomb” while Rooney, the brain. would just be sitting there worrying about nothing. Sheahan and Wahlstedt would be wondering how much homework they would get since they love it so much! Spreitzer and Sullivan, the only neighbors in the class, would be beating each other up. Last but certainly not least. Schorg! would be warning everybody that dynamite comes in small packages. CHARLES SCHORGL fyneAlutta+i 103 (Pictures on page 26) Bodner—is a very studious looking boy: no doubt he will turn out to be a professor. Collins—knows and likes history, my guess is that he will be an archaeologist in Egypt. Abbicfc—was the captain of our Hawklet football team for 52: but I predict a starlighted dancing career. Cole—is a redhead, so I forcast a career as a smoke jumper in cold, barren Alaskan wastes. Altman—-is not too big but I think I see a champion Olympic weightlift er. Anderson—is very good in Latin; therefore a U. N. translator in Italy. Carroll—-is different and he’s very hard to predict, but I see a Street-and-Park Commissioner in Miami. Diaries—will most likely inherit his father's lumber concern. Comboy—will own and operate a produce store. Conway—will be a ambassador to Korea Dulohery—will be a Jesuit father and teacher at Rockhurst High J I Dunn—will again ride the range as a cowboy in his home state. George—will swim the English Channel. Haynes—will give billiard exhibitions in Europe. Hughes—will own a small farm on the outskirts of K. C. Kafka—will be Secretary of the Treasury Kenworthy—will own a chain of dry-goods stores. Lagergren—will plan new ultra-modern cigarette holders. Latshaw—will play probasketball. Laut—will insure anything. Lawler—will inherit his father's law business. McHale—will be head pusher in a push-yourself car factory. Mainers—will be a miner, as his name indicates. Overton—will be a fullback for the Cleveland Browns. Pusateri—will take over his dad's restaurant. Ruder—will run a Manor bakery truck. Ruyssfr—will time the geysers at Yellowstone National Park. Harvey Smith—will be a detective. Merle Smith—will be head coach at Idaho Tech. Souders—will be first chef at the Westport Room. Wardell—will be a famous psychologist Wiesner—will run a gas station. Williams—will be a motorcycle racer. BILL WARDELL fyne Uman 102 (Pictures on page 27) The year is 1970 and I am about to take you inside a rocket ship stationed somewhere in Death Valley. But first Tet me tell you about its secret destination and very unsual occupants. There are thirty-three volunteers on board who answered a mysterious advertisement in the paper for people who were willing to risk death for science. The thirty-three on board had volunteered to take the first trip to the planet Mars. An extraordinary fact about these people is that they all were once students at Rockhurst High and in the same class 102. It is very hard to believe these 33 extremely brave people once were classmates. However, the only explanation they offered was that the persence of their Latin teacher, for some unknown reason instilled courage in them to such an extreme that it became heroism. Now aboard ship. General Burnspot is giving final instructions. I have here a list of various occupations at which you will work during the voyage. Keeping in touch with me in Washington will be the radio men. Shea and Rosen. Pilot and co-pilot. Millert and Lacour; Technical assistants to the navigator. Steffen, Bannister. Flowers, and Werth: Mechanics. Roche, Raimo, and Mulloy: Ship doctors. Rupard. Soebbing; Ship cook, Mikolainis: Assistants. Aldrich. Hardy, and Sullivan; Ship Photographers. Gastreich and Riley: Commander of supersonic equipment, Ziller, White and O’Flaherty: Carpenters. Bader and Growney: Ship Barbers. McQueeney and Mayer; Scouts. Hartigan and Staab. Moore and Lewis are to keep every one in good humor. If we find people on Mars. Pence and Fraher will decipher their language. There is no job assigned to Shine on this list. He will, however, keep the diary of the ship. It has been suggested that if you ever need an identification word you use potscrubber. We at Washington will recognize you by that word. You have your assignments, good luck. In ten seconds you will be leaving for Mars. I hope you make it. ERNEST LACOUR Afiodtalic Committee. MEMBERS OF THE APOSTOLIC COMMITTEE (first semester). Front row; McAdams. Waggoner.

Conclave members to the polls—to elect officers The mainspring of school activities at Roclchurst is the Central Committee. Composed of the officers elected by the Conclave-Sodality members of their respective classes, the Central Committee meets each week with Father Bernert to report on activities just completed and to plan further projects. The members of the Central Committee are ex-officio officers of the four committees of the Conclave-Sodality—Apostolic, Cultural, Recreational, and Cultural. Under their G esttbal GoHu+iittee. leadership intra-mural leagues and tournaments were organized: the missiort collection and other charitable drives were conducted: food and clothing were collected and distributed to the poor; dances were arranged: chapel etiquette was improved: spiritual devotions were encouraged and increased: weekly discussions were held on prayer, meditation, Christian conduct, Fati ma, the sacraments—with a view to mak'rrg them part of the Rockhurst boy’s present and future life.

Mr. Hilbert selected ' characters” for the various parts. Then began practice, long hours of it, first in a classroom sitting at desks, then standing to read the lines: and finally on the stage of the Little Theater. Some radical character changes had to be made. ' Walter Glinski” Sloan had to become an adolescent financeer: Willie Garvey Miller, a juvenile sleuth. Kurt Reinhold Fanning became the star athlete and scholastic leader of Bosco Institute, and Donnie McAdams” Becker was the school tough guy. Eddie Dugan Bradish and Al Fuller Wagner were made into young hoodlums, and Frank Thompson” Shine into an e« hawker of the Dally Worker. Bruno Chevski Delaney was transformed into a soft-spoken intellectual: Joe Hurles' Minzey was the target of Garvey’s perpetual chatter: J. Mosely Barr” Coutre emerged a suave German spy: and Johnny Rinn” Cahill w � -ji«ranother Bosco orphan boy. These radical transformations were achieved by means of a small miracle worked by Mr. Hilbert. Dress rehearsal brought a minor crisis—over costumes. Brothers Gregory Waterman, Fidelis” Mafoney. Seraphim” Brosnahan. and '‘Ubaldus Nobrega donned their cassocks without hesitation: but it took much persuasion to convince Angel Guardian” Mick that a flowing white sheet was the current style for angels!! Looking back, the cast enjoyed the work, and the audience apparently enjoyed the play. Fred Helling was the unheralded hero who handled the props. AFTER THE PLAY Brother Fidelis (Tom Maloney).

Prominently displayed in two beautiful trophy cases in the main corridor of Sedgwick Hall is an impressive collection of placques and trophies representing Rockhurst victories in the various extra-curricular activities—athletics, writing, speech, marksmanship. During the school year 1951-1952 were added, two trophies of which Rockhurst is especially proud. They represent C. Y. C. championships in both divisions of debating—varsity and freshman. They were won in a series of debate tournaments sponsored by the C. Y. C. for the Catholic High schools of Kansas City. They are the result of many hours of painstaking study and practice under the patient guid-anc pf Father Kalamja and Mr. Udick. The varsity team was made up of Mike McCanless, Carl Orlando, Frank Woods and Tom Maloney. Novice debat ers were Tom O Brien, Jim Richard. Bob Byrne, and Lee Miller. The freshman team: Jim Kenworthy, Mike Rosen, Earl Haynes and Craig Rooney. The fact that this entire squad is made up of underclassmen makes the prospect very bright for many additional debate trophies in the years just ahead. Ft. Kalamaja, S. J. Mr. Udick, S.

Of the five firs+ place go'd medals awarded, four went to Rockhurst speakers. This victory was a triumph of which to be justly proud. Top individual honors for the year went to original orator Dick Hadel who won: the district American Legion oratorical title: first place in the William Chrisman invi-tatione meet- first in the C. Y.

Absent: Sheahan. Millert. For abundant quality service promptly and generously rendered, the members of the Cartoonist Guild and their splendid moderator. Mr. Burns, deserve a very special vote of praise and grateful thanks from every organisation in the school. For the office, for the Central Committee, for the other committees of the Conclave—a steady flow of attractive and clever signs and posters were prepared and appeared on the various bulletin boards. Homecoming, the magazine drive, the •Fathers' Club TV raffle, the Christmas food drive, the mission collection, the Know-your-neighbor contest, the courtesy compaiqn. daily rosary. visits to the Blessed Sacrament— these are but a few of the subjects of posters which appeared through the year. All the work had to be done a ter school, and on Saturdays and holidays, and entailed a great deal of sacrifice and the members certainly deserve thanks for a job well done. If a contest were to be held to determine which of all Rockhursh organizations is noisiest, it would easily and decisively be won by—the Gun Club. Under the able supervision of Mr. Petersen, this Qroup can, literally, be heard all over the campus. Thanks to Mr. O’Connor, director of the college pistol teom. Rockhurst now proudly boasts one of the finest ranges in Kansas City. Top achievement honors for the year went to two freshmen, Glen Worth and Steve Ziller. They are the first Rockhurst students ever to win the Nationa Rifle Association's Junior Expert medal; and both of them were, as the Chancellor went to press, well on their way toward meriting the highest award attainable for them—that of ‘ Distinguished Junior Rifleman.

In the chemistry lecture room they study and discuss the theory of taking good pictures. In the wide world they practice their art. In the dark room they discover. in developing and printing their pictures, how closely they have matched their theory with their practice. Jim Fitts came through with some excellent sport shots. Gastreich. Kenworthy. Jim Smith, and Fitts submitted pictures to a contest sponsored by Scholasic Roto: contest results had not been announced when the Chancellor went to press.

In Jesuit education the personal equation is extremely important. The personal equation includes three terms: teacher, student, and parents. The closer the personal contact among the three, the better the student's education is likely to be. For this reason. Rockhurst considers the Father's Club and the Mother's Club as integral parts of the Rockhurst student's education. During the past year the Fathers' Club conducted a very successful benefit raffle which netted two thousand dollars. The money was used to underwrite the extensive intramural program of bowling, golf, swimming, etc., and to provide partial scholarships for needy students who would otherwise have been deprived of a Rockhurst education.

A mere qlance at the record of five wins and four losses by no means tells the whole story. This Dick Deitchman, who introduced the single-wing system to the vear Rockhurst had only two lettermen to greet the new coach, 'hawks. After only three weeks of practice, the Hawks took the field the annua Catholic Leaque Extravaqanza. The inexperienced team showed possibilities as it shook Al Fannina loose for a touchdown run against Glennon. Against Hoqan biq Al Robinson showed his running ability when he broke off tackle and scooted 61 yards for a t. d. In the first onme the Hawks outran and outpassed. but failed to outscore. the Paseo Pirates. Again it was Robinson who smashed over for the score, but Rockhurst lost 13-6. The Glennon Eaales prow«d stubborn foes for the vounq Hawks, but bowed 7-0. The Hawlet t. d. came in the second quarter on an 18-yard run by fullbetlc Robinson. In the third qame the Hawks lost a heartbreaker to Redemp- tionist on a muddv. rain-soaked field at CYC Stadium. Rockhurst f ad a touchdown by Robinson called back and late in the game an intercepted pass gave the Rockets a 6-0 win. Rockhurst met an arch-rival the Hooan Rams, in the Home-coming Game. To the delioht of the Hawk'et fans, the team beat Hoqan 19-6 with Hill. Bukaty. and Sinclair counting touchdowns. The Coach Deitchman, Athletic Director Fr. Kellett, Coach Ryan Cheerleaders: Foster. Dolan, Easterday, Doring, Hayes Hawks then lost another touqh qame. this one to the Ward Cyclones. by a 7-0 score The. Hawks were stopped one foot short of pay dirt in the fourth quarter. Rockhurst played probably their best qame of the season in routingr Pern-Day 21-7. After a scoreless first half played in a cold drizzle. Robinson qalloDed 52 yards for a touchdown on the initial play of the second half. He and Dale Watts added single tallies in the fourth quarter. Next came the traditional battle with Lillis. The game, played on a solidly frozen turf, resulted in the longest runs of the year. In the first period Dale Watts returned a punt 76 yards for score and Robinson broke off tackle for an 80 yard run. Dick Hill also scored on a pass to make the score 20-14. However the Hawklets were unable to re-capture the Little Brown Jug from the De La Salle Cadets. The only Rockhurst tally in the 33-7 setback came Joe Bukaty bucked over in the final quarter. The Hawks completed the '51 season in a swirling snowstorm against the Northeast Vikings. With the score tied and only seconds remaining Al Robinson ran 35 yords to provide the margin of a 14-7 win. Co-captains Dave Cutting and Dick Hill, and hard-charging Af Robinson gained positions on the Catholic League all-star eleven, etts. Kellerman. Bukaty. Deitchman. and Cooke received honorable mention in the voting. Robinson also received honorable mention on the All-State team to cap a very successful season.

Although lacking size, the backs: Colwell. Pleimann. Perkins. Rielley. fuTKolenda showed plenty or speed and drive. When it came to catching a pass or turning in fanendlweep tho end: For-roll.

Musso. and Naylor Sullivan and Waggoner, the centers, had not ohiy a very tough, but very important job of passing to the backs in the singie-wing system.

Harris, and Pleimann with one touchdown-apiece. fyti ilunen FROSH WRITE-UP The 1951 freshman football team was one of the strongest in the history of Rockhurst. Rolling up a perfect record o' eight w.ns and fo losses, the young Hawk at, were never .eriously threat ered even by the -strongest opposition. The big. fast line was composed of James Toiive- and Roger Staab at end, Joe Mooro M.ke Cole, and Jim Souders at tackle. Captain Char es Abbick ard Dan Peterson at guard, and Jerry Hassett and Nick Bonura at center. The dream backfie'd was composed of Alai George. Kevin Amick. Ernie Lacour. Jerome Overton ard Jimmy Lewis. First Ime replacements were Tern Johnson and Mike Collins. Jerry Overton gave at. indication of things to come whan, in the season's first p'ay from scrimmage, he wont through a big hole over tackle and raced seventy yards for th„ touchdown This was rhe first of twenly-three. 0 har highlights .of the offensive parade were tho running and blocking of Lacour. the brilliant passing of Amick. and the freguent pass interceptions of George. Probably the finest came of the season for the frosh was that played against the Hogan C Team when, without the so vices of three starters, they scored twenty-one points in the second half to win going away 27-18. The coaches of the team wero Richard H.Lundstrom, S. J. and Jack Moore, former standout yRock linoman and now a student at Rockhurst College. CTtAM SQUAD. Front row: Rle’ley. Farrell.
