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. 'With the invaluable aid of 0111' Reverend Principal and Reverend Fae lty Adviser, it has become a reality In it you will find a better and fuller history of the class of 29 than the writer can portray. He has simply endeavored to show that the class of ,29 has at all times striven to become a worthy representative of its Alma Mater. JOSEPH L. TRAUTH 29 gr Pugu il'wmlty-eight

929 in 74-9 iBatkhI'Em ibutel Qttntinnati, EDDiu 353ka June IS, 1949. 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
