QAWE-$-EEH- M9. 77 , 7 7 7 , HE first chapter of the history of Roger Bacon High School has been writlcn. Its record reveals the proverbial diiiiculty of every heginning. Our first your was spent nut in the splendid building on the opposite page, but in temporary quarters, including the north wing of St. Clement School, a roar building 011 the 531110 promises, and a woathm-hculcn mansion 0n the site of the new building. The incnnvonionco of tho tmnpm'ary quarters was augmented by the fact that the Freshman department vzls situated about two squares from the Senior depart- ment. Having prepared and equipped the available class-mom spacv, WC postponed all other necessary arrangements until registration day. which was set for Monday, September 17. 305 sludonts registered. Then the tthoad-scratchingii hogan. Several factors served to intensify the ditticultios. Our tompoun'y quarters. were limited in space. Thc ticxihlo, elective programs of study, prescribed for the archdioccsan high schools gave us litllc lllargin in tho arrangcmcnt 0f the huur-plan. The sopuiatiuu 01' the junior and senior departments made it necessary to retain certain teachers exclusively for each department. as little time was allowed between classes. The division into classes of the heavy Freshmen enrollment presented a perplexing situation. Furthermore. a number of students had already taken some 01' the branches of study specified by 0111' pl'og'ams of study. Novortheloes, by some logordonmin manipu- lation, we finally succeeded in bringing 0111p and arrangement out of this perplexing chaos. 0n the day following registration the student body filed into St. Clomcnt Church, where a Solemn High Mass Iittinglv inaugurated the Iii'st scholastic year of Roger Bacon High School. The Very Reverend Urban Freundt, 0.F.M., Friar Provincial 0f the Cincinnati vainco, x'zls colclrant. He was assisted by Reverend Edgar Casey, 0. F. M., as arch-pricst. Reverend Emil Bruin, O. F.M.. aw. deacon, Reverend Fcrdh inand Nil'maimx 0, F. M., as sllh-deacon, and Friar Rogcr. O.F.M., as master of ceremonicst The Friar PriestsS Choir, members 01' the high school faculty, chanted lhc devotional and inspiring ttMass of the Angels. Our first scholastic year has afforded ll's' much invaluable experience. T0 the casual observer of high sclmnl lifc, who gem tho boys arrive in the morning and leave in the evening, day in and day out, it might appear that mice the high school has been started, the rest of the Way is ttiasy sailing. The observer doean know the half of it, Yes, the day may commence with a bright and cheerful outlook; the wheels greased and running smoothly; but then somethings; unusual happens, a high school problem bobs up and often must be settled immediately. A solution there is and must hot hut often ynuill rack vour train with many a pain to find it. Anyhow, problems make high school life interesting, and thatis some consolation, as the students of mathematics I' r! y :1 F'i f f r'rhn well know. Oh yes, lest I forget, every dark cloud has a silver lining, and the more painful the experience, the greater the joy in passing through it successfullyie provided, of course, you really do weather it. That master-piece of architecture that meets your gaze on the foregoing page is the building in which we shall begin our second scholastic year. Many a-time and oft during the past year, have we sighed to be in our new building; yet anticipation heightens the joy and pleasure of realization The new Roger Bacon High School building will be an unique specimen of exquisite Lombardy architecture. The Franciscan coat of arms supported by the all-emhracing Franciscan shihboleth ttln Sunctity and Learningti surmounts the arched main entrance. The open spaces seen between the windows of the second and third floor will hear the symbols of Language, Rhetoric, Philosophy, Music, Arithmetic, Geo- metry, Astronomy, on one side, and the symbols of the three theological virtues of Faith, Hope. and Charity, and the four cardinal virtues of Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance, 011 the other side. The Franciscan slogan ttIn Sanctity and Learning epitomizes and concen- trates these symbols of virtue and erudition. On each side of the main entrance Will he the main stairway leading up to the first floor. The chemistry and physical laboratories with adjacent lecture rooms are on the ground floor, as are several other classrooms. Toward the rear, the ground floor becomes the basement where the lockers and showers are located. Here also are the fan room, boiler room, kitchen, and storerooms. A large cafeteria takes up the rest of the ground floor and is easily accessible from the four entrances and convenient to the kitchen. 0n the first floor from the main lobby. access is had to the admin- istration rooms. Corridors branch off leading to the classrooms at the left and right. Directly in front of the main lobby will be the combination gymnasium and auditorium which will be the largest in the Catholic high school group. This room will be about ninety feet square and will have a seating capacity of a thousand for athletic events. The second Floor. i,e., the third floor front and the second fioor rears will have a lecture hall, with study halls at each end, arranged to permit being thrown into one large room. The classrooms are also arranged so as to permit their being made larger 01' smaller as occasion demands. The corridors are lined on either side with lockers for the students. Toilets and storage rooms are located 011 each floor to the rear. The entire building, with its thirty-twu rooms, will be fire-proof throughout, having undergone inspection by the State Board and National Fire Protection Association and been approved. The exterior Will have. a granite base with stone facingon the. ground floor and pressed brick with stone trimming 0n the second and third floors, and will be crowned with a stone cornice all around the building. Aside from requirements made by the State, the design has been governed by its adaption to educational needs! to safety, healthfulness, expansiveness, t0 flexibility, to convenience, to durability, to athletic iitness and economy.

It was the 1'ed-11'lt01' day for us. lhe class 01' T29. It began the march 10 aeunnplishnwnl and success. Xthn the storm is past 11111! has been successfully weathered, 11 retrospective glance at the events associated with 0111' high school life is even more pleasurable than a draught of aged wine. Four years ago we were Freshmen. timid and retir- ing. tPardou the contradiction, tktimid 1'10511-11101133 By the way, has it ever occurred to you why the girls of 111'st year high school are not called ttFl'esh-girlslw Try to dope it 0111 if you can. That sudden flash of original thought almost threw me 0H lhe truck. Some 0116 did warn 1110 not to let my thinking g0 tq my 11112111.. Anyhow, to be :1 Freshman is not exactly a Hattering propositlon. but 1t 11-; a necessary evil. Sophomores, Juniors. and Seniors took turns in flattering 111111 tttlatteniugh 11s poor boys. We. also tried to do some Hattering. more 01' less successfully. XVe tried to make our teachers believe that solving algebraic problems, 111e11101'izing conjugations and deelensions, and making English compositions were 0111' most delightful occupations. However, we did finally ttsnap 011th of 0111' apparent lethargy and astonished the worldethatts how we felt about iteby publishing a clever elass-paper, called The Beehivett; a name indicative of 0111' inexhaustible energy. Just about this time we 1111 caught the spring fever and waited for the vacation days to cure it. So-pho-more. Yes, we came back for more 111 September. 'What a feeling! No longer were we ignored and downtrodden Freshies, hut euuuwipated. full-f'ledged Sophomores. The exhilaration of emancipation awakened 0111' 110111111111 talent and energy. XVe literally gulped down knowledge and teemed with activity. XVe reveled in English emupositiml, public speaking, and debating. Remember the keen competition between 0111' class papers. WFhe Broadeaster't and ttThe Herald? Do you recall 0111' nerve in presenting a series of 011e-11el plays before the student body? To climax 0111' Sophomore year we 11 11blisl1ed 11 colorful year-book, 1311112 and Gold? Lest I forget, 131'. Juvenal Berens, OF. M., the present Principal of Roger Bacon, preached 0111' nud-yezu' retr 'ul. XVhal a eo-invcidence! When the curtain rose 011 0111' Junior year, eighteen of us. returned to continue our studies. 0111' class consciousness urged 11s to organize. for there is power in unity. Officers were elected to preside at weekly meetings. We individualized ourselves by wearing a class pin and publishing a class paper, ttJunior Echo. 0111' debating ability eliciled a challenge from the. St. Bernard Public High School, which was readily accepled. We came, we saw, we conquered. During our Junior year a rumor was floated. Some one heard some one say, then some one heard this one say, and finally we were omcmlly 1'11ng Tu'unty-Sc'ven told we would complete 0111' studies at the new Roger Bacon diocesan high school to he conducted by the Franciscan Fathers in St. Bernard. Now that the time had come to say good-hy to our beloved teachers, the Brothers 01' Mary, and to leave behind the old but hallowed walls of SI. George High, :1 heavy feeling crept into our breasts. However, the silver lining of joyful anticipation relieved this dark cloud. SENIOHs of a new school with opportunity at every turn! Sixteen of us who would strive to put Roger Bacon on the scholastic map! Such was our aim and now, 011 the eve of graduation, we feel confident that 0111' aim has been realized t0 the best of our abilities. 0111' class papers had served Very well during 01111 pre-Seuior years, but now we felt that a school publication would be a mighty factor in creating 11 genuine school spirit. 0111' beloved Principal, Fr. Juvenal, 0. F. M., was heartily in favor of a school magazine and with his assistance we soon organized the paper. The first issue of llThe Bacmiiaif appeared shortly before Thanksgiving and five successive issues have since appeared at monthly intervals. We Seniors are greatly indebted to Fr. XVilliam Faber. O. F. M., Faeully Adviser 0f the Baeonian. for the success 01' our publication is largely due to his unliring efforts. Early in December 01111 one-aet play, ttAs Good As Gold? was favorably received by the students and their parents. After the Christmas holidays had been enjoyed and the 111id-year exams endured, We began a series of activities that furnished abundant material for the BACONIAN. 011 the eve of Ash Wednesday. the Senior Valentine Hop was held in St. Clement Auditorium. May our pride be 0111-100de when we say that it was a dance of the first order. Easter was just around the corner when Roger BaeoNs orators flashed their talents before an eager audience of students and friends. KVe Seniors mention the event because two of our number were awarded second and third prizes. And the minstrel! Although this 111inst1'el was 1101 fostered by our class, but by the school in general, still eight Seniors were selected as end men. The show was given on two occasions and both performances were well attended. Indeed, the minstrel show contributed greatly to Roger BanIYs prestige. Thanks to Frs. John and Firmin Oldegeering, O. F . M. The A1 11131 and Finis! This annual is perhaps our largest, single undertaking.

Dear Ed: ' Your letter. coming just twenty years after graduation, hit me like a voice from the grave. Why, old boy, it must be ten years since I have heard from you. Your letter had a little difficulty in finding me, for I have moved several times in the past ten years. No, I was not compelled to move because of my inability to pay rent, but rather on account of my ability to pay more rent. I see you pree sumed that I have married. Wrong again. You see, I like tI used to say loved l them all so well, that I was not able to love or like any particular one well enough to get married. Now that's straight. I am a bachelor and I guess that title will go on my tombstone. What am I doing? I am on the funny staff of several city papers, a very serious cartoonist. A funny way to make a living, but not illicit. If people want to laugh, let them pay for it. Yes, I believe I can give a fair report on all the old boys of '29, who graduated at Roger Bacon. YOu see, I am President of the Roger Bacon Alumnal Association and I have been able to keep pretty good tab on all the boys. You were the only one to give me the slip. I'll take them in order and try to give you a line on all of them. Phil Collins: Poor Phil weighs three hundred pounds and runs a so-Called first-olass cafeteria on Fountain Square. He sure has some pretty waitresses in his high-class heeh-house. Jack Carrigan: Jack always did remind me Of some of those follows in the big department stores, who radiate an official atmosphere of geniality. Yes, Jack is a floor- walker at H. o S. Pogue. Frank Peter: I always meet him when I drive through Wyoming. He is one of the speed oops out there. Joe Trauth: No, Joe is not a bishop. He is one of the lay-teaohers at Roger Bacon High School. I pity his students, who don't spell work with a capital W . Fred Frenser: He is Editor of the Women's Home Journal. That's one of the tricks of fate, for at Roger Bacon, Freddie was a regular womenehater. Ray Obert: He is night watchman at Procter and Gamble Soap 00. Rob Vogelpohl: Vogie and his brother, Steve, are in the plumbing business and handle a first-olass line of bathtubs and other plumbing fixtures. Page Thirty Jim Keegan: Jim's in politics and never misses a church bazaar in town. Dick Hengehold: Dick's married and has five little Hengeholds and one big one. I believe Dick is hen-pecked. Sheets Calme: Old quarter-back Skeets coaches the high school teams at Roger Bacon. Gee? they got some real teams at the school this year. Elroy Ertel: El joined the Franciscans. You ought to hear him preach. Marty White: Marty is manager of a big airport just outside of Cincinnati. He gave me the air last Sunday afternoon. Ray Wilkins: He runs around town all day collecting gas bills. George Fette: George is busy writing prescriptions. He is the popular doctor up in Corryvllle. Doctor Fette and a notice of office hours, all printed on his front door, makes a street number unnecessary. Well. Ed, I am surprised to hear that you are in the Insurance Business. No. I don't want to take out a policy but I would like to have the privilege of meeting your wife. If she is half that you claim, I'd walk a mile for a glimpse of her. That was a Lucky Strike for you. when you decided to go to Boston. But now that I have heard from you I want you to write again. I am going to see that your name is re-entered on the lists of the Roger Bacon Alumnal Asso- ciation. We have a re-union here in town early in October. Gosh, I Wish you could be here and help all your old Class- mates make whoopee . Accept my best wishes and give me an answer some evening When you are not selling Insurance. Your old pal, J?,mmz Qiawgmw. Mr. Edward Nurre, 1545 Cemetery Road. Boston, Mass. P H y r? 'l' h, 1H t 117 0 '1! a REPLICA 0F ROGER BACON STATUE Em: JTED A'l' OXFORD UNIVERSITY, ENGLAND Page TIMrty-trvo 1331111 315 Eager 11-351mm? HY did the Franciscan Fathers choose such an odd name for their new high school? WelL I think it was only fitting that they should do so. Mr. Roger Bacon, an aged bachelor with no close family connections, who died recently, left them the splendid sum of six hundred thousand dollars to pay for their new high school. which is under construction and which will be ready for occupancy next September. Why, I would name a street after a man or woman for half that sum? The informative response given is false information. The Franciscan Fathers. no doubt. are wondering if such a patron could be found, hoping and praying that some of their good friends may come to their assistance and help them pay off the enormous debt that they are contracting for the sake of Catholic education. StAs far as I know, Sir Fiancis Bacon was an English Protestant, an essayist and philosopher of the Sixteenth century? That statement is absolutely correct. ttBut I cannot tigure out the reason for naming a Catholic high sclmol after a prominent Protestant, even though he be a quite deserving man. Is there a sudden shortage of prominent Catholics? XVeIl, I soon made my good questioner realize that his question was founded on a false assumption. Sir Francis Bacon is not the same person as Roger Bacon. Sir Francis Bacon lived in the sixteenth century. Ambitious for wealth, place, and power, he finally became Lord Chancellor of England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Roger Bacon was just the opposite. He put aside wealth and honor and was invested with the habit of poverty and humilitv of the Franciscan Order, but he could not, it was not right that he should put aside his great learning and his talents. By means of comparison we often arrive at a better and more comprehensive valuation of great personalities or characters. This rule does not apply in the case. of the two Bacons. The comparison has been made merely to correct any possible confusion between them. Excepting the identity of their family names and their nationalityehoth were Englishmen;there is little if any j ustificalion for comparing Lord Bacon with Roger Bacon. The latter, an eminent Franciscan scientist presents a career too distinctive to require any subsidiary medium for genuine appreciation and appraisal. Roger Bacon was born in England about 1214. His parents, being quite wealthy, were able to give him the advantages of the best in education. I11 his later youth, he attended Oxford University, and from this highly reputable English institution of learning. proceeded to the international center of learning of the thirteenth century, the University of Paris. At 130th of these universities his teachers were Franciscans, whose learning and sanctity influenced this youthful prodigy to join their ranks. Bacoifs success as an educator in the Franciscan schools Pay?- Tl'hvirtyithren was recognized and appreciated and finally obtained for him a professork chair in the l'niversity of Oxford. His mastery of Hebrew and Greek soon became generally acknowl- edged. From this position of influence he urged greater study of these languages on the part of tho ecclesiasti tal students as a necessity for a better and more thorough knowledge of the Bible. for the Sacred Books were originally written in these languages. He also gave great elliphasis t0 the study of the Natural Sciences, which were given little or no attention in the schools of his time. We have only to peruse the writings of Roger Bacon to convince ourselves of the versatility laud vastness of his knowledge. of which theology, philosophy. philology. mathematics, optics, and chemistry formed a part. In the field of natural sciences he was centuries ahead of his time. His principles of mechanics have been followed in the construction of the steamship, locomotive, automobile, airplanet suh- marine. and the suspension bridge. Like many another genius, Roger Bacon did not receive due recog- nition during his lifetime. lie was like a star whose light has not as yet reached the earth, but whose brightness is reserved for future genera- tions. Scientists and historians 110w 'ank him among the foremost. intellects that the world has ever produced. 11. G. XVClls, who certainly evinces 110 pai'tiality t0 Catholics, concedes him a place among the six greatest men of history; while Humboldt, a great German scientist, calls him the greatest man 01' the thirteenth century, which is certainly an unique position, for the thirteenth century, the greatest of all centuries, produced such distinguished scholars as Dante, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventure, Alexander of Hales, Duns Scotus, and Albert the. Great. This is Roger Bacon. He is not the same person as Sir Francis Bacon.

The students of Roger Bacon High School have no such cause for revolution. XVe have school government by the faculty, and real government; but with it and part of it we have student representation. The Student Council. Which has been inaugurated by the Reverend Principal, oiTers the student body a welcome opportunity for cooperating in the maintenance of school discipline, the promotion of school activities, and, above 311, the promotion of a desirable spirituality amongst all of the students. Each class has a representative. in the Student CouneiL Besides, there are two extra representatives from tlle Senior Class. The Reverend Principal is ex otttcio Chairman of the Student Council. Regular meetings are held each month at which the school problems of discipline and extra-cnl'rieular activities are discussed. Through the various represen- tatives the cooperation of every class becomes more attainable. The members of the Student Council are especially charged with the respon- sibility of reminding the students of their religious duties, especially of their obligation to frequent the Sacraments in their respective parish JOSEPH TRAUTH 29 Mmtmcns OF STUDENT IW'OUNCIL Joseph Tranth '29 Philip Falling 139 Elmy Ertel f29 Dietrich Bnrvht-rs 30 Charles Young 531 Robert Ruherg 531 George llatreeheek '32 Mathew Themes 13?

VPHIOR LABORIOL'S undertaking is an unpleasant anticipation; yet, after having been successfully accomplished, what a joy. what a pleasure to look back upon it! This joyous feeling of work well done wells up in every member of the Haeonian Scholastic staff. The Senior Class feels happy in the thought. that. through the publication of the BACONIAN SCHOLAS'I'IC, it has done its little bit to stimulate lite 'ar; activity among the students of Roger Bacon. Furthermore, as Seniors of a newlv founded high school, it x 'as our cherished hope, nay, our dutyr to establish Roger Bacon 011 a par with other high schools of th , city and to obtain their recognition. XVe felt that the publication of a school paper would be an excellent medium for advertising our school and our experience has amply verified this hope. The initial labor and expense almost overwhelmed us, but owing to the generous response of our many, faithful friends, and after much eonseientious planning and revision. the first issue of the Baeonian Scholastic was ready for preits. indeed, we were a class of happy Seniors as we saw our plans slowly but surely materializing. XVhen the copies of the first issue were distributed among the faculty, students, and outside subscribers, much wholesome and encouraging praise reached our ears. We felt certain that our painstaking efforts were being appreciated. The first issue was dedicated to our Reverend Principal, Father Juvenul Berenm 0. F. EVL. in grateful appreciation of his loyal support and helpful advice. His consent and cooperation made our little magazine a reality. Father XVilliam Faber. 0.F.M.. also deserves considerable commen- dation for his readv assistance. He 11th supplied us with all those delicate necessities which we as begilmersg were apt to overlook. The Senior Class wishes to thank. the other faculty members for their constructive criticism and all those students who have so generously leontrihuted articles to the school paper. it is the fond hope of the Senior Class that the Seniors of '30 continue the publication of the school paper and Improve, it. maklng it a permanent and lasting organ of the Roger Bacon ngh School. As we had hoped. the BACONMN ScnouS'rlc has fulfilled its purpose of acting as an ambassador of the Roger Bacon High School to all other High Schools of the Citv. This fact is evident from the exchange columns of the Baronian, whose list has increased with each publication.

CONTEST PRIZE ORA'I'ION IhilJVicmcn BY Roulcs'l' Coxu-n' ' 30 Envrghnhgiia Emmi LITTLE mm'e than seven hundred years ago, a Little Poor Man was laid to rest. He is cleadf was the mournful news. But that was only a part truth. Ilis memory, his inspiring life has never died. Instead his fame has become so widespread through the years, lhmugh seven centuries, that tmlay. he is rightly called, t Eveixvlmdfs Saint? The title arises from the holy relationship that he established with everyone and everything, St. Francis of Assisi looked up to God as his loving Father; he looked about at his fellowmen and all nature and he saw in them all, either a brother 01' a sister. People of all nations, of all classes, of all Cl'eeds, have come to know the Poor Man of Assisi, and knowing him, have loved him, and loving him, have canonized him. His poetic soul, his spiritual enthusiasm, his chivalrmis and romantic nature, his tender sympathy, which went out, not only to every class of human beingsfsthe poor, the sick. the oppressed, the uneivilized heathen, the depressed sinnershul to all irrational creatures as well,sthese activities have made him a citizen of every country. In the sei'aphie soul of Francis every Virtue. blossomed. But withal, ho was a saint of tho profoundest humility. He called himself the greatest sinner in the world. In the best sense of the term he was, moreover. a lover. Lady Poverty washis bride. He would possess nothing and yet he possessed all things. People might own the land, he found contentment in the beauty of the lamiseape. Joy and goodness were all he could find in life. He trained his eyes to find them. Very aptly he said of himself: ttI am the herald 01' a Great King? He was even more than that, for the reigning Pontii'l', Pius XI, calls him iia second Christ? Strange to see, his admirers today are not restricted to the members of the Church which he served so faithfully and obediently. Socialists, revolutionists, reformers claim him as a sympathetic brother. Atheists have slnnped from their pride to pay him honor. In spite of themselves. they cannot resist the charm of his life, they cannot resist his weapons of love and of joy. But they are blind to the motives of his deeds. He was a socialist. :1 H1111 believer in human brotherhood, but not in the Socialism that would take from others their hard earned possessions. Instead, he was a giving Socialist, who gave of all he had. He was a revolutionist, a reformer, but not for the sake of gaining power for himself. but for the sake 0f establishing the Kingdom of God on earth, and his conquest was not one of force or destruction, but the Page li'ifty-lhrec conquest of love. He bore no 011111in to any 1112111, sinner or atheist. He would he a l'r1end, a brother of all, so that he might lead them hack to God, their heavenly Father. The walk of St. Francis was not merely that of an individual. Like Christ, he would not serve only the world of his time. His brethren should take up his work and serve the world of all times. Francis is the. Founder of an Order, that not only bears his name and the impress of his spirit, but which outnumbers every other Religious Order in the Church. From the quaint. little town of Assisi, in the L'nibrian Hills Of Italy. has risen the religious imperialism of Francis, which has encircled the world. The chief citizens of the Franciscan kingdom are known to all the. world. The sunlight of his life has hroughl forth for the worldls service. such servants as St. Bonaventure, St. Clare, St. Anthony, St. Bernadine of Sienna, St. Peter Aleantara, St. Peter Baptist, and a list of others too long to remember. XVhile. 21 11011-helieving world, that is unwilling to follow them because they lead directly to God, may not recognize their service, it must and does recognize the scholarship and genius of Alexander of Hales. Roger Bacom Duns Scotus, and Cardinal Ximenes, who, let it he remembered, were first of all and above everything else, true sons and disciples of St. Francis of Assisi. Both he. and his sons show that they owe much to men. All men are, their brethren. A brother must he, served because God is the 9:1ther of us all. Francis claimed, and 110 impressed that claim upon his followers, relationship With all beings. His order was not to be restricted to one field of the Lord's vineyard. They were simply to be at the service of the Church, whether in the. field of education, in the home missions, 01' in the foreign missions. Jnst service, a universal service was to be their aim. That is the ideal of St, Francis of Assisi and that is Why he is properly called ttEverybodyls Saint. Page FiftyAfou'r ORA'I'URICAL. CONTESTANTS Twp row: John Unlilln. George Fette, liohol't Conley.

Hf a Glatlmlir itltgtt $rhnnt Ehmuttnu 35:5th PRIZE ESSAY WVHY Do You Go To .x CATHOLIC HIUII SCHOOL'W OME time ago a ilull-Catholie gentleman called at our home. It was my pleasure to entertain him, while he awaited the arrival of my father. The weather, current sports, the chances and prospects of the Cincinnati Ball Team, were discussed in l'otalion,ifor my father was unexpectedly late in keeping this appointment Finally, my strange friend began to ask me questions about myself. In answer to this inquiry as to my occupation, I informed him that l was a student at the Roger Bacon High School, which is one of the newest Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. ttXVhy do you go to a Catholic high school, when there are several excellent public high schools that are far more convenient for you to attend ? was the next question. At the time 1 was quite unprepared to oEer any adequate reasons, but the question has lingered in my mind, so that now I feel able to give a very satisfactmy answer. My first reason is that there is in me an inborn love of everything Catholic. Some people are Democrats or Republicans just because their family has voted one or the other ticket for the past ten years. I know that our family tree has been planted in Catholic soil for a much longer period. The appreciation of this highly important fact increases With my age. Like many Catholics I take my religion pretty much as a matter of course, just like people take in the glory and warmth of the sun. Just as the sun gives light to the world, just as its warmth brings out the best that is in nature, just such beneficial service has been performed for me by my religion, the Catholic religion. Of course, this kind of reasoning cannot mean a great deal to an outsider, to a non- Catholic. Yes, religion or ethics, if you prefer to call it that, is an important branch in the curriculum of a Catholic high school. If this branch were omitted or neglected, the Catholic high school would have little reason for its existence. But religion does not merely constitute a branch of study limited to several class periods 21 week. In reality there are few subjects into which religion does not enter. In a Catholic high school, the study of History, the study of English, the study of Scieiice,-why, the very building is pervaded with a wholesome religious atmosphere. The study of English Literature offers us, besides a study of correct expression and a study of eloquent language, many views of life. The great writers express their views 'of life, Which is another way of saying Ptlyc .Fi-ftlrjemigltt that they give their views of religion. XVhieh authors am I to follow? How far will it be safe to follow them? At my inexperienced age, I am hardly qualified to judge for myself. I need a guide. XVhat better guidance could I get than that of the Catholic religion, which has served in this responsible capacity to millions of my own Faith for almost two thousand years? In the study of Historyemel'ely to cite. one instance ,1 read of the Protestant Reformation. the revolt against the Catholic Chuiteh. Who was right? History and religion are inseparable. XVill it make. any dili'erenee if a non-Catholie or an atheist is my teacher in Hislor '? Either of the two is bound to give me religion or irreligion with the study 01' History. As I am firmly convinced that the Catholic Religion is true, I very naturally want to learn true history but not at the expense. of imbibing a false view of religion, and this is the special protection that is afforded me in a Catholic high school education. 111 daily newspapers I often read of a so-called conflict between Science and Religion. Can a person be a true scientist and a member 0f the Catholic Church at lhe same time? There is little if any mention made 01' Catholic scientists in secular newspaper, and I presume that the same applies to secular schools. In a Catholic school I learn that some of the greatest scientists were Catholics, and truly religious men, That's another point in favor of my preference for a Catholic high school. But above all the greatest advantage is in the study of Religion itself. They say that one reaches the age of reason when he is seven years old. I am not so sure about that in all cases. At the high school age, a boy begins to see ditliculties, where formerly everything seemed as clear as day. I believe that at my age I am more interested in the reasons for my religious beliefs than ever before. I hear and read of objections that are made against the Catholic Religion. Can they be answered? What is the best answer? I am ready, anxious to know these answers and my teachers, all representatives of religion, are ready and willing t0 give me the fullest explanations and the best solutions of all religions questions. I memorized many of these answers in the. Catholic. grade. school; in the Catholic high school, I am prepared to understand in a fuller degree the reasons that support Catholic doctrine. Do I get a training in citizenship? Assuredly patriotisminot necessarily of the flag-waving 01' flag-worship kind but a genuine love of my country and its cherished institutions are, given every possible emphasis. Low 01' country is held up as an eminent ideal, but with it, or above it, is correctly placed the love of home and the love of God. And so while I am trained in the duties of public citizenship for the world, 1 am especially trained for citizenship in Godls eternal kingdom. Why do you go to a Catholic High School ?I' The question, if placed again, will not find me so unprepared in giving an answer. Others more qualified than I, could give a better answer. But you cannot deny that the reasons given are. worthy of consideration. And it is my turn to ask a question. In View of what I have written let me ask, Why should I go to a public high school, where religion is ignored or to a public 01' sectarian school, where I am bound to meet with real hostility to the religion that Iihave learned to cherish and love?

HERE must he a beginning, and 0f COLU'SG our beginning in ' dramatics had to be ennspieuous as an mltstanding event of the year. So it was that in the early part of Nevemher. seven of the leading talents in speaking and acting were chosen as players in a short comiconmoml sketch entitled ttAs Good As GoltV to be given for the Purent-Teaeher Association. XVhen the big night arrived Martin XVhite and EM ard Nurre donned habits and became Fl'iztl'st F 'ank Pater, James Keegan and Robert Vugelpuhl be '211110 villainnus robbers. Charles Riley was a curious goat- hoy, and John Malone changed his generous nature overnight to that of a mtset'ly old man, foully tricked by the robbers. Our poor miser, Malone, Was beset by ten hlood-thirsty thieves. according to his own story. but it later t 'as found that the robbers Were. none other than F 11111; Pater, James Keegau, and Robert Vogelpnhl, whom we had always emmidered to be trusty young gentlemem Of t'ottre our hero, Marty White, appeared as St. Ftancis and brought about the reform of the penitent thieves, and we suspected that he even converted that avarieious old miser, as the curtain fell, for the latter was kneeling in prayer. Charles Riley, in the role 01' a goat boy, was overcome by the fears of the supernatural and left the stage shortly after his appearance. A bit of real humor and dramatics was supplied by Ed. Nurl'e disguised as Friar Juniper, tparticulal'ly in his ViSiUIU. tCAs Good As Golth was directed by Fr. Juvenal Blerens, OF. M., assisted by Fr. XVilliam Faber, O. F. M. Following the play. Joseph T'auth, representing the student body, delivered a brief introductory address. Rev. Juvenal Berens spoke on the necessity of parents1 cooperation in the education of their children and the beneflcial results of the. Paren-t-Teacher Association. The Very Reverend Urban Freundt, Friar Provincialjwho was the honored guest of the evenings emphasized the necessity of religion in education, eonp eluding his remarks with a few words concerning the educational work of the Friars in America. The evening closed with an enjoyable social hour. A tasty luncheon vas served by the young ladles of St. George Parlsh, who added color to the occasion by 21 profuse thsplay 0f the school colors, Brown and XVhite.

QM ELL, if no one has as yet told you about it, take it from me, t it was some minstrel. Capacity crowds witnessed the 5 entertainment in St. Clemenl Auditorium on the nights of April 7 and 14. The minstrel was staged also at St. Bonaven- ture and St. John Auditoriums with the same gratifying results. The success of Roger Baemfs first minstrel is due to the combined efforts and efficient direction of Fathers Fil'min and John Oldegeering, O. F. M.. the music teachers uf Roger Bacon. They were assisted by Mr. Tehan, teacher of English, and Mr. Burnst teacher of Mathematics and Coach of Roger Bacon. The latter acted as interlocutor and we are sincere in asking whether he. has not missed his vocation. Thatis a compliment, Mr. Burns. The singing was supported by an orchestra under the direction of Father John. A special feature of the program was the rendition in song and music of the Roger Bacon High School March and Song, worded and composed by Fathers Firmin and John. The clowning 0f Pater and Collins, the vocal efforts of Malone and Mueller, and the tap-dancing of Leo O7NietI glook dowtn the house. The sweet, feminine-Iike singing of the chorus recalled memories of the singing Grecian Muses. Of course, Joseph VVeisman could not restrain his baby instincts in Sonny Boy and parked himself in the fatherly arms of Pater. The only tsFlop 0f the evening,Ir was Frank Reder. Naturally! He couldtft help it! He sang, ttI Faw Down and Go Boom? Keegau and Nurl'e wanted to parade so Vorwerck obliged them with tiSweethearts on Parade? Big Dan Tehantt by XVhile and Ruben; caused a lot of giggling among the Freshmen, so Hornhack, Vorwerck and Brackman showed their sympathy for ttBig Dan,5 by singing iTm Sorry Sally? Bob Eagan suddenly appeared to he very solicitous about Mr. Januants health and cautioned him to ttButton Up his overcoat. I am sure that our many friends, Who witnessed Roger BaCOIfs first minstrel, Will eagerly look forward to our next attempt 1n thls field of entertainment.

Principal complimented the team for its initial efforts and lauded their dogged spirit and sportsmanlike conduct, that distinguished the first Brown and White eleven. He likewise expressed his gratitude to the players for their splendid contribution to the development of a genuine. and loyal school spirit. Mr. Boehmt in his speech, stated that the citizens of St. Bernard felt honored in having Roger Bacon High School in their municipality. Mr. Boehm pledged the support of the citizens to aid the students in the promotion of school athletics. Mr. Geoghan related a number at telling incidents wlreh qhowed the value of true snorlsm-cmship, and he warned the students that unless the predominant desire for clean and fair sport x 'as present, they would not derive the real benefit from their athletic activities. Mr. Burns, our athletic mentor, more popularlv known as itEddyS, gave a resume of the football games and praised the team not only for its creditable season but also for the good impression it made On all its f ollowers. While Mr. Burns announced the names of all the. plavers receiving letters, a vote for the leader of the 1929 eleven was cast. The vote gave Robert Conley, a Junior, the. captaincy of the Spartans. Both the captain-elect and the retiring captain. Emil Calme, delivered short addresses.

Mr. Henry Mel'land, an alumnus of old St. George High, recounted some, of his own experiences on the hardwood.

To further this purpose, Eddy - Burns, a former St. Xavier athlete, was engaged as coach. The task on hand was no easy one, but with the cooperation of the faculty and the student body, highly satisfactory results were obtained. ?:i ta :4 nt' The formation of a representative football team was the. tirst undertaking of the Athletic Council. When the first call for candidates was sent out, a large number of students responded with genuine enthusiasm. In due time the number of players 011 the squad dwindled down to fifteen or eighteen athletes. The development of the Baeonites by Coach Burns from a group of awkward, self-eouseious lads, into a confident, systematic football machine, was little short of wonderful. The team which took the field against Purcell in the closing game 01' the season showed a vast improvement over the eleven Which opposed Hamilton Catholic High in the opening game of our football schedule, The results of the season, which were one victory, one tie, and four defeats, were at least relatively satisfactory. It must he remembered that Roger Bacon played no ttpush-oversft hut played only the best teams in greater Cincinnati. 111 the last two games the Brown and White played Elder and Purcell, who had previously defeated some of the eity,s best. teams, and we dropped both games by single touchdowns, which, in both cases, was the result of a had ttbreak? The wonderful improvement and development of the team during the course of the season, speaks well for the Baeonian eleven of 1929. Sixteen members 01' the squad, headed by Captain Cahne, were awarded letters at the football banquet given in honor of the team. Five of these lettet'men, Cahne, Collins, Fette, Pater and XVhite, graduate in June. and undoubtedly their loss will he keenly felt. Bob Conley was elected captain of the 1929 team at this banquet.

But the same lack of experienced material, which had confronted the Brown and XVhite in football, was prevalent in basketball. Although as far as box scores g0, ' Baemfs season would not be considered successful, for it won but eight games and lost eleven, nevertheless, the same remarkable development which was manifested in football, was shown on the basket- ball court. The schedule which the Baconians faced in baskelball was likewise a laugh one. The three teams in lhe Catholic League, St. Xavier. Elder and Purcell were very hard nuts to crack, and although Bacon did not sucuccd in doing it this year, we have high hopes for next year.
