Address: Tht laconizm 4320 Vim- Street, St. Bernard, Cincinnati, Ohio; Rev. Juvenal A. Berens, 0. F. M. Principal of Roger Bacon High School A good man was there of religion, And was a poor parson of a town; But rich he was of holy thought and work; He was also a lmrned man, a clerk, That Christes Gospel truly woulde preach; His parishens devoutly would he teach. Benign he was and wonder diligent, And in adversity full patient. hGeoffrey Chaucer from the Prologue 0f the Canterbury Tales. Pachour The Baconian IHH iiSEMPER FIDELIS m GRADUATES of 1933! You have respectfully requested that I offer you a parting message in the name of your teachers and in a personal way. The element of parting that is involved is certainly not pleasurable, even though the achievement that it implies is quite gratifying. But it is a real pleasure to have received your signifi- cant request, and it is a personal satisfaction to comply with it. Your class motto, Semper Fidelis? may not have been selected as the result of a great deal of serious thought. That it is thought- ful, however, is not to be denied. Of course, the ideal that the chosen words imply is extremely high and perhaps very impracti- cable, for actually being ttalways faithfuP, is a proud boast that few people will dare to make. But constantly, resolutely, unn dauntedly trying to be faithful presents a resolution that is both con'unendable and practicable. And in what should you be particu- larly faithful? Truly, your school life must have taught you many lessonsh none, I hope, that is not worthy of your best remembrance. But self-respect, I believe, a most comprehensive lesson, well merits to stand near the top of the list. The aim of a school is primarily to develop the mind. The end of your school days therefore, should find you richer in the fuller possession of worth-while knowledge. To a considerable extent, you have gone over during the course of your studies the experi- ences and achievements that the past has to offer. The instructive and informative facts that you have acquired and the acceptable principles of living, lifels proper values, as presented by worthy leaders of thought that you have pondered-all these, I trust, have impressed upon you the importance of developing and im- proving your minds. A love of study and an eagerness to add to your knowledge, they should always be faithfully developed and cultivated. Such activities will command the respect of others; they will likewise justify reasonable self-respect. Your hearts e all that they symbolize, your desires, your hopes, your ambitionsehave submitted to the discipline of school life. You have not been permitted to do as you please, nor have you been permitted to do things when and how you pleased, for such freedom does not lead to genuine pleasure. Your highest duties to your- selves, to others, to your country, to your Church, and to your God, which the school has persistently emphasized, have made their demands upon your personal liberty. But the restrictions that they have made have left you freer to be your better selves? Man has a dignity to maintain, a God-given dignity, which, if properly appreciated, makes him both respectful and respectable. To these high endeavors, I apply your motto, ttSemper Fidelisf May you succeed eaud abundantly e in such a noble achievement! To all of you-and for all times I extend the sincere wish: ttDominus vobiscum? Year Book, 1933 PageFive THE FACULTY Page Stir Rev. Juvenal Berens, O. F. M. Principal Rev. Roland Ulmcr, O. F. M.

Year Book,1933 Page Twenty-jiw w March of the Spartans Page Twenty v2.1 m IT was with only four regulars left from the championship team of the previous season that Coach Morrlssey began assembling the parts of his 1933 football machine. However, the Spartan mentor went to work With a will, and, with the able assistance of Mr. Edward Burns, he soon had a winning combination whipped into shape. And what a combination that was! With Captain ttDutch Welling leading the attack, those Spartans went through their seasonts schedule worse than a whirlwind goes through Kansas. In three sweeping victories over Xavier, Elder, and Purcell they won for the second consecutive season the Greater Cincinnati High School League championship and a beautiful silver trophy presented by Mr. Adam F. Meyer. Besides this they took three one-sided tilts from Portsmouth Central Catholic High, Springneld Central Catholic High, and Hamilton Catholic High. Their only two set-backs were suffered at the hands of Middletown Public High and Toledo Waite, the national high school football champs. Even in defeat the Spartans looked great, displaying that same old nnever say die,, spirit that has well earned for them the title of ttThe Fighting Dutch? Six Victories against two defeats! One hundred and thirty-six 'points to their opponents, seventy! That is their seasonts record, and to top it all off, the Spartan reserve team won the Greater Cincinnati High School Reserve League championship together With a handsome trophy. Congratulations, you Spartan gridders 0f ,32! Onward! mi THE Roger Bacon hoopsters of ,32333 werentt as fortunate as their fellow gridders. Handicapped with having only one player of experience to lay the foundation for his team, Coach Burns faced a sad-looking future. However, he managed to scrape a quintet together, and what they lacked in playing ability and ex- perlence, they certainly made up atplenty in aggressiveness and good old fashioned spunk. In Greater Cincinnati High School League competition Captain Eddie Reicliman and his mates won two walk-aways over Xavier, and a one-31ded'tussle from Elder. Although they failed to lift the Greater Cmcmnati High School League crown from Purcell. they eertalnly made the Cavaliers sweat t0 eke out their two close Victorles. In pne of their pit nights they dropped a tight contest to Elder fer a blg upset. VVlth three victories and three losses, they stood tied for second place in the nnal league standing. L -In other games the brown and white color bearers turned in wms'over Wilmington, Eaton, Ohio Mechanics Institute, Otterbein, Hamilton Catholic, and were beaten by Woodward, the Alumni, Hamilton Puhhc and Stivers, while in the tournament they dropped a hotly contested fray to their old jinx Purcell. Looking over the results .we find that they scored four hundred and thirty-fiye p01nts to their opponentsi three hundred and sixty- 51x, t0 wm eight and lose eight games. i . The. Spartan reserve basketeers compiled a better record, win- ning elght and lesxng four. Moreover. they tied Purcell for the Greater Cincmnatl High School Reserve League championship. -G. S., 33.

Father Odo Kempker omciated as the toastmaster in his inimitable manner. Mr. Jack Elder, of Notre Dame football fame, was the principal speaker, while Father Juvenal Berens, our Principal, and Coaches Joseph Morrissey and Edward Burns completed the pro- gram. Nineteen players were awarded letters, and Joe Bosse, 34, giant tackle, was elected captain of the 1933 gridders, succeeding Diek Welling, ,33. ssar The time, January 14, 1933; the place, the gymnasium of Roger Bacon High School; the event, the annual Senior Dance. Artistic decorations, delightful melodies and an enchanting atmosphere all helped to make this an evening which will endure in our memories for a long time. Our Parent-Teachers Association has given excellent support, both material and moral, to all of the various activities of Roger Bacon. They have proven themselves the most helpful agency of the school, and by means of their card parties have helped the school immeasurably. We all join in and say very sincerely, uThank yet? and uCongratulations. 5i: 'rC: The evening of April 7, 1933, was the occasion of the birth of a new enterprise at Roger Bacon. On this memorable evening, fathers and students gathered to spend a delightful evening. Selections by the school orchestra, assisted by the quartet, and a comedy, pre- sented by the Sophomores, and entitled, uOne Swaller, One Dollar, enlivened the program. Father Juvenal, our Principal, gave the evening a more weighty aspect by presenting a talk showing the relationship between the home and the school. Following his address, refreshments were served by the P. T. A. in the cafeteria. is :k :5: During the past year, under the able guidance of Father Hyacinth, Faculty Adviser, the ttBaconianll has established itself as one of the outstanding student publications in this part of the country. In the Critical Survey conducted by the National Scholastic Press Association, the ttBaeoniaIW carried off an All-American Honor Hating, the highest award given by this Association. The magazine has also received high praise from the Catholic School Press Asso- ciation, Marquette University, Milwaukee. . Our magazine has been granted a charter of admission into Quill and Scroll, an international society for high school journalists. Members of the staff have. been awarded medals and have carried off awards in a nation-wide contest. All in all, the staff deserves much credit for its year of work. eR. B., 133.

The Baconian Golden Rule Days wWILLIAM SHAKESPEARE in one of his renowned plays divides the life of a man into five parts. These divisions he entitles under various headings according to his idea. To me also, there are five separate chapters in the life of a human being, five chapters in which one either makes life happy, or unhappy, worth while, or worth- less. Through the Ages I The first section I scarcely re- member. It takes place at the time from my birth to my sixth year. The only recollections I have of this early period are the tales mother tells me, when she relates to me how much I cried, or how I first learned to walk and talk, when I was a babe. And then, after I come to my senses, in a strict meaning of the phrase, after babyhood, I pass into the age of grammar schooling. In these clays I have my first scraps With some bully, or take my first good ttbawling outi, from the teacher for throwing paper wads, or the like. In these days, also, I gain my first knowledge of an intellectual sort: I hegin to find out what this world is all about. After this age, I learn to comb my hair neatly as I pass into the high school era. From thence I go into young manhood and prepare to seek my opportunities in life, or to make acquaintance with my prospective life partner. The hnal chapter in my life book will be. the glorious, perhaps sad, old age, the time when I will look back retrospectively upon success or fail- ure, over the drama I have under- gone and enacted. The Real Chapter In any well-construeted novel, or story of a similar type, there are certain chapters which stand out as more important than others, which hear more stress to the plot of the tale. Likewise, with the book of life there is a pre-eminent chapter that surpasses the others. This chap- ter is entitled ttHigh School Days? ttSchool days, school days, dear old Year Booh,1933 This little bit of reflection by a senior who knows, makes a good bit of advice for the undergrads. with pleasure when yeu were a freshman, a sophomore, a junior, a senior? golden rule days, and the enchant- ing melody of that everlasting, effect- ive song lingers on. Oh, how happy are the days when I sit each day at my desk to work out some dizzyi, chemistry or algebra problem. ul hate sehoolfi young fellows will say, and yet they do not think as they blurt out this crude statement. There are no more joyous days than those of our schooling. ttYour school days are your best days, son? older persons, who have traversed more fully than I the path of life, inform me. XVith them I am inclined to agree unanimously, for to be truthful, I am getting a great ttkick out of life just now, in my high school days. When I became a Senior at high school, I began to glance back over my four-year course; I began to see wherein my faults lay, where I per- haps wasted valuable time in class, 01' where I did something without much thinking. In my fourth year I see all my ttwarming up days, the days when I first came to high school. On the Way Yes, I start at the beginning of the high school ladder, as a Freshman, meek and humble, wondering what it is all about, what it will lead tow this school life. Then I am initiated, brought into the spirit of the school. I become a small,l portion of this great institution that I attend. I am con- tent, COIllftIFtCCIHI work hard that first year, and my efforts bring re- sultswentrance to the second story of the building. Landing on the second lloor, I find myself as a Sophomore, as a student who is becoming a ttbig shot? At this point I assume a haughtier air, and I commence to take part in some major activities of the school. This Sophomore year also lays a founda- tion for the greater privilege of be- coming an upper classman. Do you remember By LEONARD GARTNEH, 33 As a Junior, I am be- stowed this honor. I con- stitute a greater element in the school life. My contem- poraries, my classmates, and I are the models of all lower eperhaps upperwgrade stu- dents. They took to us as their ideals. At last arrives my Senior era, which brings me to the last notch in my upward climb, the time when, as I said. I look back gleefully over pre- ceding years. I am now a full- Iledged member of the high school, a loyal son of the immense fraternity. During my course of four years, I follow the same routine every day. I catch the same car, with its orange color staring me in the face; I ttbum the same automobiles; I travel the same roads, paths, and driveway; I see the same faces at my side each morning and afternoon. Yet, life never grows tiresome. Something novel, some new adventure or ex- perience turns up each day which thrills me and enlightens my intel- lect. Every-Day Life Upon arriving at classes, I take up my text-books and prepare to indulge in my assigned topics. Witt we have a test? What will he give us? What year did so-and-so occur in? Down to work, study, study. But it never grOWS monotonous for I know that by following instructions I inflise into my mind new thoughts and ideas. Ah, how happy and beneficial is high school life; how I love it, and would like to live it everlastingly. Little incidents, worries and bothers, that turn up occasionally, only tend to make it more interesting. For what is life without troubles? Therefore, if I earnestly, eagerly, and sincerely get down to work, real, studious labor, each clay, I know I can make high school life really worth while. I can show to myself its finer, more polished, and brighter elements. And when I graduate and go out into the hustling world of business, I can almost be assured of tContinued on page 38l Page Twmrty-m'nc Journeys as IT was Saturday night in St. Miehaells. As was quite usual on Saturday night, the pews were dotted here and there with kneeling tigures. Occasionally the big, heavy doors of the church would open to admit or emit another figure. As the hour grew later, the church gradually be- came more and more deserted, until at last only one solitary iigure re- mained. The janitor came in to close the windows, yet the figure remained kneeling. Even after the priest had left the confessional and the lights of the church had been extinguished, the figure remained. Staring out of wide, unseeing eyes, he seemed un- conscious of everything about him. Raga Ged and unkempt, he presented quite a contrast to the grandeur dis- played in the Church around him. An old dirty sweater, torn at the elbows, a pair of ragged trousers, dirty and with numerous patches, :1 pair of old, dilapidated shoes, whose thin soles each boasted of a hole in its center, and a wrinkled, old felt VACATION By LEONARD GARTNER, ,33 I wonder where Iill spend my vacation? Pd sure like to find a good location. The valley, the seashore, mountain, or jungle, Perhaps pass the hours in cozy bungle. There's other things yet I'd like to do- To swim, and row, and play tennis, too; Oh, all this world I'd want to roam, But my vacation will be spent at home. The grass will have to be cut and mowed, The garden patched, and dug, and sowed, The dishes merrily clanging Illl hear, And the dishwater bubbling in my ear. The cellar gets dirty ibout once a Week, Then I use the hose till it starts to leak. So you see, I wonit have far to roam, Itll have plenty to do this summer at home. Page T11 iffy End By GEORGE SPITZMILLER, ,33 When a man loses his fiancee, his dearest friend, he feels bad; when he turns to drink and his mother and father die of anxiety, he feels worse. He becomes a bum; he falls lower . . . lower . . . hat, crumpled in the seat behind him, were his sole possessions. A wild mop of tangled hair, greying at the temples, towered above his mud- stained face, whose evident youth- fulness even deep lines and unshaven jowls failed to disguise. As the hour grew later a penetrat- ing chill gradually began to creep into the tomb-like atmosphere of the deserted church. Yet the ragged ligure was unmoved, staring straight ahead out of wide, unseeing eyes. Ned Jones was thinking . A tall, wiry old man was plowing up a broad meadow, nestled deep in the green Kentucky hills. It was springtime; the birds were singing: trees were budding; and the sweet. invigorating odor of fresh-turned earth pervaded the crisp morning air. Far up in the clear, blue sky a gleaming ball of gold cast its pleasant rays on the straight back of the man plowing below. As he trudged along, skillfully guiding the plow through the rich soil, the manls weather-heaten face puck- ered into a cheery whistle. Up and down, up and down he trudged, his steely blue eyes twinkling merrily as he whistled his jolly tune or jauntiiy directed encour- aging commands to the plodding team. The ligure in the church was mumbling . . . nGood old dad! He was a swell guy, always smil- ing, always cheerful, and always so good to mother? As he mumbled, Ned again was thinking . . . A stout, sweet-faced old woman, with snow-white hair was bustling about an old-fashioned kitchen. From the polished coal-range with its steam- ing pots to the big cupboard with its orderly array of dishes and spices, then from the cupboard to the big wooden sink, with its pump and scoured woodwork, from the sink to the table, set with its sparkling dishes, she would bustle. Occasion- ally she would go to the window facing the barn and peer intently out between its immaculate curtains. But always she returned with a dis- appointed air. Suddenly, as she stood bending over a steaming pot, testing its contents, the kitchen door opened silently, and the tall wiry old man who had been plowing in the meadow entered quietly, and stealth- ily tiptoed over to the unsuspecting woman. Suddenly without warning a board creaked, and wide-eyed the woman whirled around to face the intruder. As she did so, he rushed forward to envelop her in his strong arms and planted a kiss On her now smiling face, beautiful even under its many wrinkles. As he mused, Ned Jonest blood- shot eyes glistened with tears, and again he began to murmur . . . And how like mother was Elsie. As he uttered this last word, a lump filled his throat. Momentarily his eyes shifted, only to rest on the lone vigil light in the sanctuary and to fixedly gaze into its red glow. In those crimson rays Ned was seeing things. Pictures were outlining them- selves before his staring eyes . . . The figure of a beautiful girl ap- peared before him. Curls of glisten- ing auburn hair, sparkling blue eyes. rosy lips pursed into a smile that melted one,s heart, all were hers. Now, as the pictures passed before Nedis eyes, this exquisite creature tContinued on page 42l The Baconian TAKING WAY 5 mi TERRY OiMOOHE liked apples - especially big, red ones-and as he came up to the Chinamanls display. he edged very close to it. He had been wandering aimlessly and list- lessly about Chinatown, but the sight of this display seemed to have put new life into him. Now as he came alongside of the stand, his left hand, with an almost imperceptible motion, flicked out and back. When Terry walked away there was a noticeable bulge in his left coat pocket. But Terryts actions had not passed unobserved, and now a blue- uniformed figure was hearing down upon him. However, some premoni- tion of danger must have warned Terry, for he suddenly glanced back over his shoulder, and seeing his freedom so closely threatened, broke into a run. The blue-garbed tigure, fearing lest his prey escape, shouted, ttHalt thief. But the only effect this had on the refugee was to make him run the faster. A mile later a perspiring and red- in-the-face policeman stopped baf- fled and almost exhausted. Terry had out-witted Otticer Blotts again. Officer Blotts took out a little blue book, and on a special page under a column marked ttescapes, put a big numeral tt20f muttering meanwhile to himself, If I ever catch that burn Itll have him sent up for life. As Officer Blotts turned his back and strode away, a tall young man with a bulge in his left coat pocket arose from concealment not ten feet away. Pressing his thumb against his nose with four lingers extended, he wig-wagged a salute to the de- parting cop. Then, in the direction opposite that taken by the officer, Year Book,1933 a By WILLIAM BRUGGEMAN, 33 Terry had taking ways. But sometimes even those are valuable. Seemingly there wasnft a Chinamants chance to discover the dope, but then there was TerryPs taking ways. Terry set out for the upper half of the town with a determined stride. Oddly enough he was not munching his apple. At about the same time that Terry was squirming out of his predica- ment, two men were talking very earnestly in an office on the other side of town. ttMike, this dope smuggling must stop? So spoke Captain OtHara of the Ninth Precinct Police. ttThe Commissioner came down here per- sonally to see me about it. If I don't see that something is done about it in a mighty big hurry, hell have me pickin' daisies out in the sticks? uSure, and somethints got to be done about it-but what? Me and the rest of the boys have traced down every clue, but nothink come of any of tem. Mike, a fiery-faced individual, uttered these words with something akin to a snort. There was no doubt about it, Mike Mullins was burning up. For the past half hour he had been on the carpet. It was the iirst experience of this kind for him and he didlft relish the interview a bit. Two weeks before, Mike had been ordered to track down the Chinese dope smugglers who had overrun the town. Armed with first-hand information he had invaded the Chinatown snowit district-and had come away empty-handed and puzzled. For in a section of the city where there was known to be dope in every other house, he had not found a flake. Then he had begun an exhaustive and comprehensive search, and al- though he found nothing suspicious, dope still came in in enormous quantities. And so it was that Mike Mullins, the roly-poly Irish Chief of Detectives, was on the carpet. ttMike, continued Captain OtHara, 1,11 give you just twenty-four hours more to make an arrest. If you haventt made any delinite headway by that time, Itll be forced to take you off the case. SiBut s No buts; just remember what I have said. And, Mike? he concluded, as Mike started toward the door, Terry will be put in charge of the case, if you fail? Mike turned a stricken face toward his superior, but seeing the set, hard expression planted there, thought better of protesting and went out of the office into the squad room. As he did so he was greeted with a hearty slap on the back-perhaps it was too hearty-and a nicely ct! modulated voice which somehow or other always sounded rasping in Mikets ears purred, Sure and how are you today, Mikeiw Mike, recovering from such an effusive greeting, gasped, Since thirty seconds ago I feel terrible. ttWell, at least then, ltve done my good deed for the day. ttYou-i, but Mike couldn't con- tinue, and, at the moment, his face would have made an excellent danger signal for a railroad crossing. How- ever, he controlled his desire to dis- figure Terryis face permanently, and asked anxiously, ttFind out any- thing? Terry placed a wise look on his face and said earnestly, ttGet five men and come with me? Then with an anxious look over his shoulder, he did an excellent imi- tContinued on page 38 Page Thl'rty-one TOUCH p I a y 5 I H O O K EY ByJACOBBOLLMEW What happens when a punk crook is on his own? Touch couldwt learn at the Chier school. So he quit. 011cc he tried to rob a church. He was pretty slick alright, but so was the preacher. w RATED as a rank amateur, John ttTouchti OtToole was only a second- string man on the Chiefs squad. Naturally, a man of Johnis ability would want to improve his art, but somehow this was quite the contrary in his case. The Chief had just placed Touch on the blacklist a few minutes before classes ended. As Mr. Touch opened the school door, he turned and ad- dressed his fellow-student, ttSlip- pery.H Ya know, Slip, 1 Pink da Chiefis mad wit me. But how should I know if dere was a cop on da corner when I tapped dat Janeis safeiw HYes, the professor was in a ter- rible rage over your bungling at- tempt? answered Slippery, a dapper little fellow, about the size of an overgrown midget. Perhaps school was a tritle hard for poor Touch, who was unaccusv tomed to mental exertion. There- fore, to get even with the Chief, he decided to take a rest cure and re- main away from school. Taking a taxi late that night, Touch went to the railroad station, where he alighted and paid his fare-re- markable, as he usually skipped out the door before the cab stopped. There he flipped a coin and non- chalantly called a side. It came up the opposite one and Mr. OtToole hopped a rattler for PuthOn Center. After getting on, he dropped into a seat behind two weil-dressed men Page TlH-l'f-X'JCL'U who were busily occupied in a con- versation that he overheard. Perhaps Touch recognized these men as brother laborers in the great society of safe-tappers and racket- eers. Anyway, he spoke to them, and they, in return, gladly accepted his company. And then the one whom Touch surmised was the leader pro- posed: ttSay, pal, why donit you join our outfit? Itts easy work and good pay, with lots of recreation? Why, youse mugs aiift even edu- cated. Yer only punks. Say, didnit ya ever hear about 'Chief Lordts Boarding School for Beginners? Well, I went dere for Free years ant I just quit. I was one of da best dey had. Why, I tapped five safes and not a cop got wise? boasted Touch. ttReally, how remarkable! Youire just the fellow we need. You can even be boss, tactfully suggested the leader. HWell, now, datts different. NVhen do I start? proudly asked Touch. Immediately! Now listen to the plans? As the train rattled on, so did the crooks tongue. The hours went by, as they usually do, while the three sat huddled up into a small group, formulating plans for the job. The little three-car train pulled in amidst a crowdea baggage man and twa loafers, doing nothing and plenty of it. Touch and his newly- found comrades hunted for the Vll- lage rooming house, where they se- cured a few rooms. When Sunday came around, all three arose early and wended their way religionsly toward the little brick church on the corner. They assumed an attitude of piety during the sermon, but, as Touch later ad- mitted, he went through the coat pockets of the men on each side of him. All he found was a washer and a handful of slugs. This, indeed, was mortifying for a master mind such as Touch. Touch laid a hrand-uew dollar bill on the plate during the collection, as; did the other two men. But Touch tlldlllt lose his dollar; it had a string on it. Services ended, but the three re- ligious young men quietly remained in their pew, even after everyone else had left. The three slowly arose and Touch walked up to the preacher, who was putting the col- lection into a small safe, which already contained several bulging bags of mouey. Meanwhile the other two went outside and pilfered an automobile. Suddenly the church door opened and out came the preacher, followed by Touch, who was carrying a box containing the money in One hand, the other in his pocket, tightly clutching an automatic. When the preacher had entered the sedan, the two in front took the money, while Touch put the preacher out with a short blow of a solemn-looking black- jack. After driving for five minutes, they were out in the country. Here the three alighted and dragged the still unconscious preacher from the car. Then Touch suggested dividing the loot, but his comrades had other plans. What split? demanded one. ttWe diclift get anything. Beat it? ttOh yeah? Touch snarled. His Irish blood began to boil, and he promptly set out to collect his third. He got only two steps when all of a tContinued on page 42l The Baconian AROUND AND ABOUT IN FIVE MINUTES. . . The Bum and So hideous a tig- the Hustler ure seldom can one see. There he sits, almost incessantly, through- out the tlay, dreamingegloatine; over his free but detestable life, his shabby form cuddled on the steps of his favorite pool room or drug store. Rather swollen on one side is his shrunken, unkempt face. Those piercing eyes gleam like two pearls in the light of the. noonday sun, amt his ears project from his 11 'ad some- what like those of a leashed hound that scents his prey in the distance. 0f sallow whiteness and tenuity, the ihands evince that his life has been one of easeeof idleness. He is Clad in the garments he has wor'h for several years. Patched in many places, his blue shirt is consistent with his tattered trousers. A spirit of ferocity is always apparent in him Fa terror similar to that of a raging dog, barking at a frightened pedes- trian. He boasts of the fact that he whiles a 'ay his vacation, loitering around tteheapi, p001 rooms and soda fountains. Up, never earlier than noon every day, he goes to his favorite corner, where he meets the gang, and thus passes away the. whole day. They call him a tthumf and somehow he seems to he just the type of cha taetel' to have a name like that clinging to him for life. How different is his plight from that of the proverbial hustler. The latter, although quite sedulous, finds adequate time for pleasure. in the morning he does little chores for mother and dad around the house. In the afternoon its a baseball game or a refreshing swim. His dress may seem rather unsightly at times. Of course one would not expect him to dress lavishly when he performs the little tasks about his home. ltts that complacent smile that beams across his countenance that makes him so likeable and enviable. Truly, there is reason for that smile: he is happy -contented. Year Book,1933 Students of the high school age are naturally inclined to ttloaf. Coni- paratively few of them follow the path of this admirable hustler. The latter must make sacrifices. But these sacrifices are the instruments that mold his character into that of an ideal citizen. The idler, on the other hand, cannot endure these minor hardships. In later life, as a result, he eannot l; tar the setbacks that are certain to svarin about him like hat- talions. Vacation time is at hand again. Once more these two tategories will, become evident to a great extent. Without doubt, the. ttbum may seem to enjoy himself for a time.

These are the. ones who, while never doing anything flagrantly wrong, never do anything worth while either. The reason is too fre- quent participation in parties. A boy of this sort leaves school in the afternoon With, sometimes one, or even two, books, when he should have taken three or fear. That night he ttgoes out? In the morning he returns to school, sleepy, and having studied only on the car. Sometimes, he is even late. He sits in the classes with deep lines under his eyes and a blank expression on his pallid face. All morning he is nodding and, in general, looks ttdOpey. During the noon hour he rushes to get done the night-work that is due that after- noon. While. he has awakened some- what, he spends the afternoon still a little tired. Since he is not fully awake, he cannot concentrate. In fact he doesnit know what itts all about. So he usually gets ujagged.n This boy holds back the class be- cause. his wits are not sharpened to the keenest point of perception; thus he does not pick up the lesson as quickly as the others. The time he spends in asking questions, together with that 'asted when the teacher must necessarily reprimand him, are precious minutes lost to the rest of the class. All told, he is a dead weight that the class must carry. It is not possible for a student to b0. a ttladyts man and a real scholar simultaneously. These two just nat- urally don,t go together. The Rev. Principal in a recent assembly re- marked that ttnext year all dead wood will be cut? Undoubtedly he meant it. Party men are. dead wood. What if the axe falls this June? eH.

Yes, and how much pain and trouble they cause in planting. Especially when you try to be modern and faucily place large rocks about. as SPRING by the calendar had not yet arrived, but it was already here. The first freshly green sprout was budding on the tree, the first robin sang its morning song. However, that which gave the best evidence for the arrival was not these things, but the men and women busied in their gardens. I watched Mr. Bosh one morning, rake and spade in hand, go toward his little plot of frost-white ground, which he proud- ly called his nursery. As he scraped up the debris that had accumulated during the winter, he whistled a soft tune. But his thoughts were not on his work. It was summer. He sat among his trellised honeysuckles; he delighted in his waving petunias; he breathed his rose-scented air; he saw with his ideal eyes the wonderful result of his labors. In this Mr. Bosh was similar to many mene-many except 1116. I only wished that I could be like him, but my interest in planting had - died with the last flower of autumn. Now I abhor all things pertaining to planting, the implements, and the seeds. I will not look at a trowel; I will kick a spade away. I trust the reader will properly deduct my atti- tude towards a pick. Then, too, a box of seeds will fill me with un- pleasant memories and finally dis- gust. But don,t misunderstand me! .I really love flowers. It was this love that prompted me the year before to abandon my flower box on the window. The substitute was to be a rock garden. Such a garden, I thought, would be a novelty, and be- sides I thought that they would be easy to make. All I needed was a few rocks, a few shrubs, a couple of packets of seeds, and I became like Mr. Bosh. I saw it blooming there, beautifully, picturesquely. But rocks in our neighborhood were scarcee-that is, the kind I Year Book,1933 wanted were. Within the time of three precious hours, I had found only three, whereas I needed more than twenty big ones. Before the day was over I had gotten the rest, but only at the expense of a strained back and a severely bruised toe. W'as a rock garden worth ruining myself for? I considered this question and then concludedeno. But I soon changed my decision, because I already had the rocks and, though laggardly, I began to place the rocks in position. Swinging a pick, digging a desirable hole, was no easy physical task in itself. I felt like quitting again. For those poor insects in the ant hills that I so rudely broke through, for those big, fat, slimy worms that I cut in two, my pricking conscience moved me to sorrow and then remorse. And all this for the sake of a rock garden! Yet I was undaunted. I had started something, and I had determined that I would finish it. But I did suffer as I shopped for plants in the milling crowds of the city. There is nothing more aimless than shopping for something one knows nothing about. Here the proverb, ltwhere ignorance is bliss, ,tis folly to be wisefl does not apply. I knew little about plants except that they grew; I was at the mercy of the catering salesman, who sold me a host of shrubs and flowers that had long Latin names. He said that they would bloom all summer, and that they would not grow high enough to screen the rocks, and so I took them, although I had my mis- givings. Did you ever try to please every- one? I did. In doing so, I rivaled the man and the boy with the donkey in one of Aesopls fables, who acted upon the peoples suggestions. I wanted to arrange the plants one way; my sister liked them another way, and my brother disagreed with both of us. It was my fondest hope to please everyone, even the neigh- bors, but to no avail. My next-door neighbor still found fault with it. When I asked the professor in geom- etry his Opinion, he answered: I am prejudiced against this conserva- tion type of garden; I would arrange it modernistically, according to some geometric figure. Even the tee man offered his opinion one day, when the plants were not yet flourishing. ttThe rocks are growing faster, he commented. But then I remembered that everyone naturally had his own taste and in most cases follows it. Think of the young lady that kissed 21 COW. People must have thought that my rocks were stepping stones. The mailman and the peddler in the streets would continually track over them. They saved a step or two, but sometimes I had it imprinted in the fertile top of my garden. I accosted the mailman one day and indignantly told him where to walk, but I gave up the task of telling peddlers, be- cause there were so many different ones. Instead, I put up a little sign with the word ttPleaseli on it. Al- though we had no dog, I soon substi- tuted for this with one bearing the words, Beware of the. dog? This one got me results. The greatest catastrophe- things felt that way to meewas yet to come. Those shrubs and flowers that the salesman swore would never cover the rocks, grew and grew, and finally did just that thing. Was I sore? I could bear no more; I had endured too much alreadyea strained back, a sore toe and too much satire. If I could, I would have used my foot to advantage on the rear portion of my anatomy for not sticking with my window box ehut, alas! now it was too late. Peolile seeing my general dissatisfaction, said I took my gardening too seri- ously, but I knew I was only rock- garden crazed. I felt I could never plant again! Page ThirLy-fine Thoroughbreds The Kentucky sportsman is known all over for his real, genuine sportsmanship. Henry Hudson was in bad straits financially, and it was vitally important to win that race. Yet never once did he think of ttfixingf, the race. as ttWHAT time did we make, boss? queried Jockey Pat Mallory, of the Hudson Stables. itStar Ray sure burned up the turf on that run, and I didntt let him have his head, either? he continued, eagerly. uI clocked you at 1:041A3, declared Henry Hudson, one of the finest sportsmen in Kentucky. ttAnd that? he boomed, his better than any time a Roland horse will ever run. It ought to he? declared the jockey happily. Itis two-thirds of a second better than the track ree- 0rd. And his mother set that record in l03. Star Beam was the fastest horse I ever owned. But Star Itay seems faster than his mother. His sire was a French horse, one of the finest in southern France, and Star Ray seems to have inherited his motherls speed and his sixes endurance. Thus related Henry Hudson about the qualities of Star Bay, the Hud- sonsl entry in the Kentucky Classic, a race that usually crowned the. fast- est twowyear-old horse in America. It was generally known that the. Hudsons were practically bank- rupt. However, the Hudson Stables held some of the finest horses in Kentucky, and the sale of one of these would overbalance the debts contracted during the last three years. But u01d Henryt, never ad- mitted these dilliculties, and abso- lutely refused to sell any of his be- loved stock of thoroughbreds. He aways hoped to win the Kentucky Classic and thus remove his debts, for the purse was a gold bridle and $50,000 in gold to the winner. nShall I bed him down now, sir? respectfully asked the jockey. WVhat? Oh, sure; put him in the best stall. and dealt let anyone near hinif replied the owner distraeta edly. iWes sir. ttThat'll be all? HVery well sir? ttMy last chance? mused the old Page Th ir'ty-Jix Kentuckian. ttlf Star Bay doesift come through llll have. to sell the old place. i ,Jause, by Gad, my horses are all I have left that mean any- thing to me. But thereis no ifis about it, Star ltayis going to win. Heis a thoroughbred? he finished firmly. He looked toward his home, an immense white mansion that had been built when he was a lad, and wondered what he would do without it. It was the only home he had since the old Hudson mansion had burned to the ground forty-two years ago. But he would rather live in a tent than sell any of his fine horses. The house needed paint, the stables repairing, the fences mending, and a supply of grain must be set in for the two winter months ahead. He was lucky he lived where the win- ters lasted only two months, he re- tleeted, or he would have gone hank- rupt last year. ttDamnationll, he grunted to him- self. What was he thinking of? Star Ray was going to win, and then everything would be all right. After he won this Classic, he'd take him to the Mexican race tracks and then home to Kentucky, where the fine horse belonged. a: a: :5: The day of the Classic had come. Thousands cheered the horses as they went to the post. The odds on Star Ray stood at 7 t0 1, for the shrewd owner knew enough to keep his horse's ability private.

A borrowed $1,000 bet on his horse would make his total winnings $57,000. u'llheyire oft! screamed the multi- By Jam: BRUGGEMAN, t34 tude of race fans, gamblers and sportsmen.

The Baconian Spartan Sports mi AFTER taking four setbacks at the hands of Woodward, Reading, Purcell, and Louisville Manual, the Roger Bacon Spartans finally came through to cop their tirst victory of the 1933 season at the expense of the Xavier High Conquerors. The gar , which was hotly contested th' eughout, en'ding'in an 8-to-7 score, was played at Corcoran Field. Fri- day, April '28. Due to the rough condition of the field, miseues were very prevalent on both sides. The Spartans took a one-run lead in the first on Idingts double and Captain Droesehts single. However, Xavier found their batting eyes in the second, to shell Frey off the mound with a triple, a double, three M itUP again, down again, seemed to be the mood of the Roger Bacon Spartans, as they went down 6 t0 1 before the slants of a F'reshie pitcher and the barrage of the slugging Elder Panthers, XVednesday, May 3, at the Elder Stadium. While his mates pounded the offerings of An- drews, Tiettnleyer, Elderts newest sensation, kept the Spartan guns silenced with one measly unearned run. The. game was practically ever at the end of the first, for in that frame the Panthers bunched a double, two walks, and two singles to score four VICTORY! singles, mixed with a walk, a wild pitch, and an error, good for four runs. The St. Bernard boys came right hack to score two in their half on a stroll, an error, and a rousing single by Breittelder. In the fourth, the Conquerors scored a tally on a hit batsman, his advancing to third on two errors, whence he scored on a single. Bacon stayed right behind by scoring a tally in the same frame on Pellmants single and Breitfelderis double. A double, a walk, and two errors gave the Sycamore Street lads two more in the tifth, while Droeschts single, a fieldefs choice, Pellmaxfs single, and Hoffts single accounted DEFEAT! markers.

Mike, to his own disgust and sur- prise, had obeyed Terry,s curt order and was now waiting for his ap- pearance. When Terry came out of the sta- tion he was bombarded by all sorts of questions, but he remained solemn and silent. He gave instructions to the driver of the automobile, then settled back comfortably in his seat. He sat with furrowed brows exam- ining his apple, until the car came to a stop.

Mike baffled, did so, and much to his amazement, found on the inside, instead of the fruit, two nicely fashioned tubes, upon each of which was marked, tiCocaineF He raised his head to look at Terry, and as he did so, a voice be- hind him said, IIHa, trying to steal apples again?

And Officer Blotts marched triumphantly away with Terry.

Review of the Band gt, mi OUR band has certainly been giving the school a lot of real ppbhmty and support this year, due to the hard work of the director, Fr. Firmin, and every member of the Symphonic Club. You heard them out on the gridiron last fall, led by the fancy- stcppingldlrum major, Bob Hartlauh, urging the team on to Victory and mspirlng the rooters with their peppy marches. On Armistice Day the band competed with the three other Catholic High School bands at Redland Field, while the football team defeated Elder there. Due to the extreme cold, the contest could not be held falrl'y, so the judges declared it a four-way tie. But the boys 1n the Symphonic Club do not all belong to the band, for Fr: IttPIIlIIl has organized an excellent twelvc-piece orchestra, which, as you should know, really sounds professional. Our mufsicians have played twice at the Friars Club; in December for a Christmas festival, and in January for an Italian Dinner- Daltee. . Then at the County Infirmary the orchestra played for the dedleatlon Of a new recreation hall, and afterwards Fr. Firmin recelved a very appreciative letter from the authorities at the home. Those who attended the Father and Son night or the football banquet, heard the orehest 'a producing more exhilarating melodies, 21th also heard the graceful voices of the quartet composed of Miller, Tempter, Braun, and Rohman. Xoulve probably all heard that music coming from the auditorium or thereabouts after school several times a week- perhaps you thought that it was Frank Simmfs musicians in there but it was really our own sehool band, practicing long and haard to make themselves souml Just like the Armco Band in the bid high school bend contest Which took ljlilCe on May 12.

The young man and the pretty girl are in a canoe, floating dreamily on a moonlit lake; now they are to- gether, dancing in the midst of a gay party. Now the boy is alone; he is working in the city. He and Elsie are to be married in the Spring. Suddenly, without warning, he loses his job. Then, to bring all his dream castles tumbling down upon him, Elsie takes sick and dies. This last blow is too much. The boy tries to drown his sorrows in drink; he he- comes a drunken sot. Griefpstricken at the degradation of her boy, the sweet, gray-haired mother dies. Not soon after she is followed by his father. The boy is left all alone in the world; still he does not give up drinking. He be- comes a burn, a human derelict in the swift, cruel river of life. And so tonight Ned knelt in the deserted church. It had been rain- ing, and he had come in for shelter. The hour of midnight was drawing near, the rain had long since ceased, yet Ned still was kneeling . . . star- ing . . . thinking . . . Suddenly a creak broke the omin- ous silence of the quiet church like a ritle-shot. Ned started. Gazing out of Wide, gleaming eyes at the statue of the Blessed Virgin, he half rose to his feet. He stretched out his arms to the marble flgure. A hoarse, half-sobbing cry escaped his trem- bling lips . P.

A death-like silence reigned in the deserted church. TOUCH PLAYS HOOKEY tContinued from page 32l sudden the world crashed around him. He passed out with a lump on his head that rivaled the one on the l'Jreaeherls. About ten minutes later he woke up and saw the preacher rising. They stared at each other.

Alfred A. Knopf, New York; 1932. ttObseure Destinies5, presents some- thing new and novel to the reader. It does not consist of the conven- tional one story, but contains three different separate stories or ttlittle novels? These individual stories are approximately seventy-five pages in length, and the only relationship that exists between them is that they all have a XVestern setting. ttNeighbor Rosickytt is the tirst of the stories. It deals with family life on a large W'estern farm. The observations of Anton ROSiCky, a Bohemian exile, who has had many unpleasant experiences in London and New York, are very interesting and contain many worthwhile ideas. The story gives one a good idea of the nature of farm life in the West, and judging from the story, Western farming seems to be an attractive occupation. Old Mrs. Harrisi, deals with W'est- ern town life, the scene being a Colorado town in the brilliant sand- hill country. The old riddle of human relationship is the theme of this story, the story of three women, grandmother, mother, and daughter, who live under one roof, each trying to live her own life and follow her own destiny. The story brings out strikingly the dependence of an in- dividual upon his felIOW-men, and particularly the close, melodious harmony that must exist between members of a family if it is to en- dure. gTwo Friendstt is the title of the inst of the three stories of ttObscure Destinies? In it is to be found the typical American business man of the Old West, the man with the long, black cigars, the huge, powerful body, the derby hat, the diamond ring, the prominent watch-chain, the arrogant air. The story also shows how strong friendships are often broken by trivial things, minor dif- ferences. ttTwo FriendsH is the shortest of the three stories, and it does not measure up to the others. L.
