There was an increase of about one hundred and fifty pupils over last year's enrollment. Two by two we marched into St. Clement Church to attend the opening Solemn High Mass. The Very Reverend Urba11 Freundt, Friar Provincial of tl1e Franciscan Fathers of the Cincinnati Province, otticiated as Celebrant, assisted by Reverend Herbert Klosterkemper, 0.F.M., archpriest, Reverend Roger Hengehold, 0.F.M., deacon, Reverend VVilliam Faber, 0.F.M., subdeacon, and Reverend Firmin Oldegeering, 0.F.M., master of ceremonies. were looking forward to the time when all the classes to 1 ,' X 4 X x fs Q ex t!0,Abh5PQQ05'N-I, 4 'a, i i lv l would be assembled in our new school building. The Juniors and Seniors were the lucky ones who began their school year in the new building. But the Sophomores and Freshmen began in our temporary quarters of last year, hoping that the workmen would work faster. Their hopes were soon realized. One by one the Sophomore and Freshmen Classes paraded dowin Leonard Avenue and took up their abode with the two upper classes. Now we were ready for the house-warming. How our hearts beat with joy and pride on Sunday, October 26, the Dedication Day of Roger Bacon High School. His Grace, our Most Reverend Archbishop, John T. McNicholas, 0.P., D.D., ofliciated at the dedicatory service amidst a concourse of Clergymen, friends and students. It was a perfect day, pleasant to the memory of all who were present. Gang by gang the workmen gradually left the building and with their departure the noise of construction ceased. Although the building itself was complete, nevertheless, there were many necessary and useful additions to be made. A spacious roo111 was reserved for our future library, but we needed library equipment and books. We got both. Shelving was installed to hold six thousand volumcsg however, the shelves were not filled immediately. The Roger Bacon students showed a healthy school spirit by launching a Book Drive. The result of this Book Drive was over eight hundred volumes. Donations of friends both in money and in books has brought the total number of volumes to two thousand. To have an assembly without assembling SCCIIIS to be a contradiction but it is an actual fact at Roger Bacon. A Public Address System with Radio and Music Attachment, installed i11 our school has made this feat PAGE' TW'-fNTY'THREE possible. Loud-speakers have been placed in the auditorium, cafeteria and all the classrooms, so that reproduction takes place in the entire building, simultaneously. By means of this system it is also possible to speak to one or several classrooms, without disturbing the other classes. This Public Address System is the gift of our active Parent- Teacher Association. The surroundings of Roger Bacon have not been overlooked. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of St. John of St. Clement Parish, presented our school with a beautiful American Flag, which floats gracefully from a towering pole in front of Roger Bacon. Spring has brought the landscapers to give our building the proper setting. Several large old trees have been the victims of the axe and saw., The front has been sodded and dotted with young trees and shrubs. Our building now sits upon the knoll of a gently sloping hill. As a crowning touch to the outward appearance, the life size statue of Roger Bacon, donated by the Witte Estate, has been mounted on a marble pedestal. The statue situated directly below the entrance, rises to an inspiring height of fifteen feet. The marble base is set upon a larger base of concrete. On May 18, 1930 the statue was dedicated. With this inspiring replica of the Friar, who led the world of his time in science, as an example, may the students of Roger Bacon forge ahead and carve their names on the pages of history.

PAGE THIRTY SEVEN 6' R t 1 Svninr hlleum Bintnrg HE graduating class of a senior high school ordinarily looks fi 9 back over four years to obtain the facts that should be included in its class lnstory. 'l'he.Class of -1930 made up of forty students, however, must lmnt itself to two years, for the present graduating class was assembled but two years ago, when Roger Bacon High School was established. As individuals we have spent four years in high school, gong S but as a class we are just two years old. ' In September 1928 students came from four directions and twice as many high schools, to make up the Junior Class at the new Roger Bacon High School. And what a representative gathering! Just such a gathering as one would expect to find at a meeting of delegates, who were to discuss international disarnlalnent. However, our gathering proved to have a purpose. We came to increase our armaments, not materially but intellectually. It was a new experience to have as our teachers, priests garbed in the Franciscan habit. It was a new experience, it became a delightful and unforgettable experience. fig fs J 1 4 Telnporary quarters were necessary our first year, while the splendid new high school was under construction. The recollections of the scholastic year 1928-1929, however, are permanent, never to be erased from our minds. Roger Bacon High School disregarded all laws of evolution. lt took time to get the new building constructed, the school, unlike human beings, was born already all grown up . The day, the lnonth the school was opened in its telnporary but satisfactory quarters the salne day, the same month it took its place amongst the highest typed high schools in Cincinnati and vicinity. VVc measured up to the things that the older high schools had been doing for years. The Franciscan Fathers did not organize a high school, rather they created o11e. It was hard to remember that the new school was new, it functioned like a school rich in experience gained through long years, and right from the start. We were quick to accept the Brown and VVhite as our school colors and we hope never to lose a proper appreciation of their significance. Dietrich Borchers was elected class president and we all fell in line. Did we always stay in line? NVL-ll, we made an earliest effort. VVe were well represented in the va1'ious school activities. Our school lnagazine, The Baconian, carried regular literary contributions from various members of the class. VVe attended the school banquets, the football, basket-ball and baseball banquets in goodly numbers, and made a very creditable showing. The Senior Dance was well patronized by us Juniors and we took occasion to get acquainted with some of the sisters of the senior students. Nor did we neglect to get representation on the school honor roll. Father Williaiil was our Home Room Teacher and there were occasions when neither he nor we felt at home. But at that We have fond memories of his patience, his zeal and his ability. He as well as PAGE THIRTY-EIGHT .,,-as xfi ollr other teachers always proved good leaders and in general we were humming, l'm Following You . The year passed rapidly, the new school building was nearing completion. and the iinal examinations proved a trying proposition . Somehow or another we all got by with more or less distinction. The Forty Singing Seamen is recognized as one of the most popular ballads written by Alfred Noyes. 'the munber forty does seem to possess some secret charm. VVhen we returned to high school we found that we had three new members, who were to join our class. The enrollment in the Senior Class for 1929-1!l3tD reached the high mark of the mystical forty. Forty Singing Seamen we were and we sailed into the picturesque port of the splendid new Roger Bacon High School. Our new surroundings were inspiring. VVith better scenery we knew that we would he obliged to put on acting real, genuine scholastic aeeomplishment. Our first class meeting resulted i11 electing Bob Conley as our Class President. Time vindicated the choice. With Bob leading the way, the class took on a high type of school spirit. Father Juvenal, the Reverend P1'incipal, assumed the added responsibility of our Home Room Teacher. You boys must learn how to work and like it. lJon't content yourself with what you have learned but realize that you have still a lot to learn and learn it'f. That was his policy briefly stated and he kept us busy trying to measure up to all that it implied. Veritas or Wl1l'lltllflllll0SSH was our adopted class 111otto. Believe it or not we resolved to be truthful, genuine in all things. Ilnitations of the real thing might be alright for the less ambitious, but 11ot for a graduating class of Roger Bacon High School. Activities were lll0I'C active than ever and our contributions merited public recommendation on several occasions. The Oratorical Contest, the Annual Debate, the Senior Play, Athletics, and above all the Honor Roll were conspicuous for the presence ol' Seniors. X Our four years at high school, like all good things. has come to an end. They are filled with pleasant memories and without doubt the lnore lasting memories are those of our two last years, our Junior and Senior year at Roger Bacon High School. NVe are proud to be graduates of this new Franciscan high school. VVe hope that the future may justify the Franciscan Fathers in being proud of us! Au Revoir!

Honor Roll students, members of Baconian Staff. and school athletes are too numerous to mention. Led hy our president, Carl Flege, we have contributed also to the success of the special activities of the school. Flege and Trennepohl displayed their oratorieal ability in the annual debate.

It has been the cherished tradition of our class to harmonize our spirits with the fair southern sky towards which our classroom faces. Neither a heavy assignment for home-work, nor examinations, nor defeats in the various sports have changed our smile. We have always 'tried to keep our Sunny-side Up. In spite of the fact that we take Geometry. Biology and Latin, the first page of the BACONIAN, devoted to Honor Roll students, carried the names of many members of II A in each issue. We point with pride to our two athletes, George Mattscheck and Robert Werner of basket-ball and baseball fame. And we sing Hail to the Chief to Leslie Ries, our president. CARL BRABI-UNDER '32.

Geis is a small but competent librarian. S'funny but s'true that Sullivan played the female role of Aunt Alicic in 'Pals First. Our debates in Ancient History and English have been heated but friendly. Hagen, Geis, and Galvin have contributed an occasional article to the BAUONIAN.

Only we ourselves know how hard we studied X and plugged to make the Honor Roll . But only a few of us accomplished the feat. Our class teams in the basket-ball and volley ball leagues were the talk of the school until the finals. We won the championshipa-almost. Our president, Louis Branch, was a brainy captain and we even had a special name, Dorians, for our representative teams. But it was all in vain. However, there is a little consolation in all these bumps.

HE second year in Roger Racon ushered in an active member- ship in the Scotus Debating Society. At one of the very tirst meetings the date for thetirst public debate was decided upon. An election of otlicers resulted in .Iolm Singer, President: Alphonse Bunker, Secretaryg and Jack Linfert, Librarian. The purpose of this Societv is to familiarize the members with the principles and ethics of logical argumentation. It not only acquaints them with the rules and niceties of public address, but also gives them ample opportunity to speak in public. To teach its members to think correctly and quickly is another of its aims. On March 28, 1930, the first debate was held. The Subject: Resolved that the President of the United States should be elected by the direct vote of the people, was cleverly defended bv the Juniors. The Seniors rushed to the attack and in the opinion of the majority of the audience and the judges. Rt. Rev. Msgr. 0'Brien, Judge Dennis Ryan and Mr. Henry Merland, succeeded in eclipsing the arguments of the Juniors. The Junior members participating in the debate were: Speakers, Frank Geers, Robert Hohman, and Carl Flegeg Coaches, Alvin Rusche, XVilliam Zins, and Lawrence Ashbrockg Rehutter, George Trennepohl. The Seniors participating were: Speakers, Louis Bessenhach, Clarence Dauwe, and Elmer Klettg Coaches, Charles Lmesch, Jolm Singer, and Dietrich Rorchersg Rehutter, VVillard Holman.

The boys of Roger Bacon responded enthusiastically to the call for players. The seed of the 3 Roger Bacon band was planted and we were anxiously awaiting the first sprout. All this happened during the last two months of Roger Bacon's first year. This year the seed sprouted and blossomed forth l'nder the direction of the Reverend Fathers Fl1'lIlll1 and John Oldegeering, O.F.M., a club was organized among the members of the band called the Symphonic Club. The purpose of this Club is to enable the teachers of nmsic to instruct the assembled pupils in the elements of music and to foster mutual helpfulness among the pupils themselves. Our first meeting was held on November 7, ami was featured by the election of oftieersg namely, Robert Hohman '31, president, Jerome Burtschy '31, secretary and treasurerg and NVilliam Puls '32, librarian. Meetings are held every month. Every Thursday evening there is an ensemble practice for all the players. Moreover, each member is given a weekly individual music lesson. ' Among the Faculty members who have volunteered to assist Fathers Firmin and John are Reverend VValter Gottbrath, 0.F.M., Reverend Herculan l.i0llllSkl, 0.F.M., and Reverend VV1lham Faber, 0.F.M. Progress, indeed, was slow, but yet it was progress. We practiced diligently, played together often and the noises finally changed into harmony. Seven 1no11ths of this grilling work and we were ready for our first concertf On Wednesday, April 9, an assembly was announced for 9:45. Although the other members of the school were in the dark, we knew what it was all about. VVe took up our instruments, marched bravely into the auditorium and onto the stage. VVe seated ourselves in a semi-circle and awaited Father Firmin, the Head of the Music Department. He mounted the stage, raised his baton and we could hardly realize that we were playing our first concert. The joy and appreciation of our fellow students were expressed in an uproarious applause. It was a grand and glorious feeling. Our hopes were realized. We really had a band. A few days later Father Juvenal announced that an unknown donor had agreed to supply us with uniforms. Those uniforms proved to be a real stimulus to many budding musicians. They practised a lot more with hopes of being able to wear the Brown and White as soon as possible. The Roger Bacon Band made its first public appearance on the evening of the Oratorical Contest. We wish to thank Father Firmin and the other Faculty members who have contributed their share m making Roger Bacon Band a reality. JERoME BURTSCHY '31.

Previous to the iii l' 5 formal organization of a commercial club, Reverend Herculan Kolinski, O.F.M., Head of the Commercial Q Department, addressed the assembled commercial pupils gb, tk? on the purpose and benefits of a commercial club. The first meeting of the commercial pupils on November 14, 1929, resulted in the organization of the C Roger Bacon Commercial Club. The following otlicers 1' 5 were elected: Richard Beiting '32, president, Frank Lustenberger '32, vice-president, Damon Swann '32, secretary, Camillus Burman '32, treasurer, and Walter lloppe '32, reporter. Father Herculan accepted the otiice of Moderator. One purpose of our club was to establish a contact between business pupils and business men and business educators. Father Herculan arranged to have a speaker on business topics at almost every meeting. The first speaker that we were privileged to hear was Mr. Dinan of the University of Cincinnati and an active member of the Chester Moreland Advertising Agency. His topic was Advertising . Mr. Dinan outlined the aims of tl1e professional advertiser, and read ami commented on several specimens of exceptional advertising copy and design. Mr. Walttirs, Teacher of Commerce at the University of Cincinnati, spoke instructively on What the Business Man Expects of the Commercial Student. Mr. Walters enumerated and explained the qualities that prospective otlice employees should possess. He also suggested the business subjects that would prepare the commercial stu ent for his future work. The lecture of Mr. Connolly, Teacher of Retail Merchandising at the University of Cincinnati, dealt with his specialty, Retail Merchandising. Mr. McClellan, President of the Littleford Business College, demonstrated from experience and observation The Importance of a Commercial Education. Mr. Waldvogel, President of the Main Street Merchants Association, concluded the speakers' program with The Value of Studying Commercial Subjects. I11 reviewing the activities of the Commercial Club, we are pleased to say that the benefits of such a club as outlined by Father Herculan. have been realized.

The occasion of this festivity was the Dedication of our new building by His Grace, our Most Reverend Archbishop John T. McNicholas, OP., D.D. The numerous attendance and the variety of entertainment offered has made October 27 a big day in the annals of Roger Bacon High School. Our Most Reverend Archbishop delivered an encouraging and inspiring address. After eomplimenting the Franciscan Fathers on their splendid building, His Grace dwelled upon the great benefits of Catholic higher education. The Honorable Anthony Dunlap, the speaker of the day, disclosed an unusual knowledge of the life and achievements of the Patron of our school, in his eulogy of Roger Bacon, Franciscan priest and scientist.

Before calling on the various speakers of the evening Father Odo expressed his satisfaction with the work of the team and the loyalty of the students who attended the games in large numbers. Reverend .Iuvenal Berens, 0.F.M., our Principal, was the first speaker. That the team of 1930 would display the same fighting spirit of the team of 1929 was l1is challenge. Mr. Merland spoke of the lasting friendships that are often made and cultivated through clean sportsmanship and told of the friends he had met in this way, years ago. Mr. Meyer, St. Xavier College Coach, spoke on the importance of football as a high school sport. He also caused considerable embarrass- ment to our coach by relating some humorous incidents of Mr. Burns' college days. Mr. Burns, the Spartan coach, brought to light many football plays attempted by the Spartans, showing the praisewtorthy efforts of the team. While the Letters were being awarded a vote for the 1930 captain was cast. Robert Ruberg of Junior B was elected captain of the 1930 gridders.

PAGE SEVENTY'NINE I Intramural Sparta HE i11creased popularity of intramural sports at Roger Bacon has been due to the systematic organization of the various leagues. Mr. Duke, our Teacher of Plhysical Education. organized the Freshmen and the Upper-classmen into two distinct leagues. Intramural Basketball began early in the season. After the smoke of the class frays had cleared, I-R and 3-B emerged victorious in their respective leagues. The Juniors defeated the Freshies in the final game that decided the championship of the school. During the second semester two Intramural Volley Ball Leagues were formed. The Championship of the Freshman league was won by I-H. II-D were the victors of the Upper-classmen league. In three fiercelly fciught battles I-H and ll-D contended for the championship of tie sc 100 . The Freshmen took the first game 15-7. Ludwig and Miller starred for the winners. ln the second game the Sophs came back with a 15-2 victory. The third game was probably the best played and most exciting tilt of the season. The Freshmen, serving first, tallied nine consecutive points. Shorty Domis, serving for the Sophs, tied the score in one serve. Then, after several heated exchanges the Sophomores were nosed out 15-11. The last game was high-spotted with the exceptional playing of Sand. McAvoy and Domis for the losers, and of Ludwig, for the Freshies. Romznr EAGEN '32 S263 WGN fllirnnis 1:1930 HE Spartan netmen began their season with the Rig Reds of Hughes High School. Ruberg, Campbell, and Lucas, playing the singles for the Raconites were defeated by Hummel, Mad- dux, and Borwick 1 6-2, 6-33 8-6, 6-43 7-5, 4-6, 3-6. ln the doubles, Campbell and Ripley lost to Gall and Hummel, 7-5, -I-6, 3-6. Ruberg and Domis fell before Benjamin and Shapiro, 6-3.6-2. The second match played with St. Xavier was lost by the Spartans, 5-0. Ruberg, Campbell, and Lucas yielded to Earls, Basely, and Huller: 6-0, 6-2, 6-1, 6-43 7-5, 4-6, 2-6. Domis and Campbell lost to Basely and Huller, 6-2, 6-4. Schildmcyer and Ripley also succumbed, 7-5, 6-2. In the third and final game the Raconites met Purcell. Ruberg was defeated, 6-2, 6-1. Lucas lost, 7-5,'6-0. Only two single matches were played due to lack of time. Domis and Campbell broke through for Bacon's first win of the season, 7-5, 6-2. The second double match was really a sad disappointment. After winning the first set, 6-4, and leading in the second set, 5-0, Schildmcyer and Ripley weakened and the Cavaliers won seven straight games. Although our tennis efforts have not been as successful as might be expected as the result of Mr. Duke's energetic coaching, nevertheless, we have at least made a determined effort to bring home the bacon.
