Now let us look at the material which they must mold into fine Christian gentlemen. Scrutinizing this material, the Artisan sees that he must work with young, eager, Grade School Graduates. Equipped with an inclination toward Christian gentle- monliness and touched with a tendency toward diligent study, this material is worthy indeed of the masterful treatment of the Sculptors. Carved with tools of Religion, English, science and mathematics, the Subiect is shap- .r ened for four years and at last Upon completion is unveiled, a Model of Catholic Manhood. Beginning with a block of young humanity, boys from grade school, our sculptor makes the first rough out- lines. School work, activities and responsibilities have had their influence. Although the gap between boy and man is too great to bridge in one year, the first rough outlines of maturity can be seen. Let us turn the page and behold the freshman, the first of four steps toward the compietion oteThe Shaping of a Man. FIRST DEV ROOM 25 25 was a middle of the road room, being neither exception- ally brilliant nor tremendously duli; however, Jim Lauman and Jim Speed established themselves as hue students, constantly de- lighting the teachers with the right answers at the right time. Jim Barrett played an the fresh- man football and hashethall teams, in addition to being a mainstay on the intramural squad. Jim Hoelscher, John Mar- shall, Ray Schulte and Jim Speed were also good athletes. This group hit its peak when it de- feated a very fine team, 37W 112 the matter of selling ehame hooks, Heelseher was the rhamp, which is an index of hue school spirit on his part. The room as a whole did all right. 25 alsa had. its celebrity, Dick Abrams, who became famous as a resideut of the fag. He was cer- tainly not a had hay but had dif- hrulty getting to school by 8:30. ROOM 33 332i intramural team hadnht won a game in three years mm't thisyear. Sparhed by Coach Gene Meister and Jack Star Haus- feld, the team defeated room 38? Later, to prove it was no fluke, they out painted the saph- omore hays of Room 28f wiw ning by :2 Score of 36 to 23. Jerry Koenig and George Messerle were considered the best athletes and Messerle doubled as a singer of note. He should have com- bined talents with Dan Gold- schmidt, for the qualities of ath- lete, singer and ladies man wauld have made an unbeatable combination. Ray Binzer was a hue sharp shooter u no one knows if he could hunt rahhits 0r not e but with a paper wad he was the deadest eye in the school. Scholastically speaking, H erhert Wlattle. Bernie Meiners, and. Bill Schmidlin led the way, for they hnew how to apply themselwes, and when it tame ta laughs, Ray Binzer, was king of all. 1- Leff to Right: Firs? Row; N. Nerl, G.

ROOM 34 The fun-low'ng and friendly. denit- zem of Room 34 lost no time m making themselves well hnoym in all fields of endeavor.. The football season saw a trto of 34lerslllined up on theReIer'zres. Iim Pleasant and John Clark held down the guard berths while the fleet-footed Jim Butler anchored the end slot. From 34ll the Frosh Hoop Group selected Duh Betting to serve as its stand out center; the megaphone crew drew the spirited Ken Henderer, who helped in rousing the crowd at all the athletic engagements. 1n the masque and wig circles, Paul Evans and Giles Fisher repre- sented the room and delivered creditable performances on every oemsion. For those parties who would cast aspersions on the conduct of this class, 34 requests that their occasional exploration: to Room 40, he attributed to intellect- ual curiosity. The best report cards were taken home by Bill Huber, Jim Butler, Ray Grate, Dale Lawrence, and Tom Lathe. Class pres., Paul Evans, carried the absentee reports to the office and Joe Wagner assisted him. ROOM 36 The hays of Room 36 enjoyed their freshman year very much. All of the fellows showed a lot of school spirit throughout the entire year. Two of the three who tried out for the reserve basketball team were successful in their efforts. These were Ioe Lautz and Bill Henhe, who did t'ery well during the course of the season. 36 was also repre- sented 0n the football and track teams. Om' worthy class presi- dent and vice president, in John Cullen and Jerry Niehley, respec- tively, performed the require- ments of their positions admir- ably all year. Larry Schafer blew mellow notes for the hand. The public speaker of the class was Donald Mains, who was one of the max! capable entrants in the elevation rontest. Some of the most active member: of the class were Prank Klein, Ed Cos- tello, Bill Kniedl, and Gold- fish Sthx'ele. The Corryville Ambassador to Room 36 was Henry Harms. Leonard Metzger showed a lot of school spirit by heeoming u ehame hook cham- pmn. ROOM 37 Loaded with talentf describe: 37. Here was a room that had everything, intlndt'ng the short end of a battle with Old Man Scholastic. The hays made the mistake of coasting after a good start and had to be dealt with personally hy the office But it mutt he said that they learned their lesson well. In the revival of lemming which followed, Tom IVilhe am! Elmer Wuestefeld emerged as schalaxtz'c kiugs. h Room 37 was the home of Ed Sehmaltz who sold an astound- z'rzg total of 103 chance hooks, gm outstandihg total especially when one considers the quota is 4. Most of the freshman: basketball team um: also exported from this room, Donald Kattits, Jim Bier- 711471, Red Young and Ron Rap- paport coming from there. Bud Moztlliet was the actor of the class and the comedian was Jim Comerford. Two hue gentlemen, Iim Bierman and Duke Petra- m'o served as president and wine president respectively. e-t ROOM 38 Room 38. The room which can- not get along with Room 37.

Patti Ohe had the privilege of presiding over the class. Bah fudy was vice president. ROOM 23 Although short on students, only 29 in the room, 2? was long on all :chool actt'et'tz'es with par- ticular accent on athletics.

Although there were many good. students in the room, Donald Berle, Richard Berning, Herman Briede, Stavzley Koize, Rager Sand, Robert Scheller and Clinton Wood, stood out a: honor students. There were also fi-r'e future mr- sity men, boys who will he heard from next year, or the year after. These Reserve lettermen were, Tom Barnes, Richard Berning, Francis Schalle, Ray Stegemmz, and Clinton Wood. Clinton Wood, it appears, was in every- thing.

Since this is true, there are those Who object to giving recog- nition to outstanding students, contending that they are merely doing their duty. But an athlete is supposed to play well enough to make the hrst string, and manis prime concern is getting to heaven, yet athletes receive letters, and the church honors saints. Following this analogy, the school office posts an Honor Rollh of students who, by their hard work and ability, have shown them- selves to be outstanding scholars. In order to get first honors a boy must have a grade above ninety, in four subjects, and above 85 in one subject, or to make second honors, four grades above 85 and One grade above 80. After making the honor roll six consecutive times, the proud student is given membership in this elite organiza- tion and is granted the privilege of wearing the mark of The Bii Scholastic Clubea brown eight inch, B.

In every school there are different types of individuals. There are scholars; there are athletes; there are social stand-outs; and there are individuals Who are a combination of all three. But no matter how these individuals may seem to differ, there is one common bond; one form of mental mucilage that brings them together in close union. This common bond is School Spirit. Sincere school spirit may be defined as that genuine and spontaneous enthusiasm which inspires a boy to put his whole heart and soul into his school and all its activities, religious, scholastic, athletic, and social. Here at Roger Bacon such school spirit does not go unrewarded. The Merit System was established for the expressed purpose of rewarding each and every school-spirited student who has earned the required number of merit points through participation in the countless activities. 2000 merit points entitles him to an attractive merit pin, plus the always appreciated exemption from exams in those subjects in which he has received an 80 average or better. For those who excel in initiative, and lead their individual departments, sizeable monetary rewards are offered. MERIT MARAUDERS The merit system was not intended to pay the students to parti- cipate in, or attend the various activities, but rather to rewargl them for their school spirit and, what is more important, to pro- vide a permanent record of the studentls individual interests; his likes and dislikes. Nowhere else can a true picture of the student and his inner emotions be obtained. Under the direction of Fr. Ermin Werle, the Merit System has striven to make Roger Bacon more than just a book building or an education factory, but rather a well-moulded, closely-knit institution of learning, and a per- REV.

Moderator Preamble 0f the Charter of the Student Union. of Roger Bacon High School Whereas, it seems proper and useful that there he a central organization 0 f the student body of Roger Bacon High School, from which central organization all student activi- ties and organizations shall derive their life, irzsp-iration, aim, guidance, and regula- tion; and whereas, it seems necessary that there hea central responsible organization, through which the school policy may be conveyed to the school body and through which the progressive proposals and the serious grievances 0f the student body may he conveyed to the Principal 0 f the school; therefore he it determined that this instru- ment is the Charter of the Student Union of Roger Bacon High School. Although the responsiblity of guiding the destinies of eight hundred and some turbulent young boys rests principally on the shoulders of the men of the faculty, nevertheless, these sages are firm in their belief that efficient school organization can exist only if the students have an opportunity to voice their opinions. To this aim, The Student Union of Roger Bacon is respectfully dedicated. Two years ago, the old Student Council was dissolved and a new form of school government was set up. This was called The Student Union. The president and the major officers of the group were elected in an annual election campaign in which two political parties heatedly contended the points at issue. Such an election campaign, simulating national conditions, pmvides volumes of practical knowledge to the students. Working under the persevering guidance of Father Ronald and Mr. Johnson, the Student Union accomplished a great deal during the past year. Its entertainment committee functioned superbly in providing the seniors and juniors with one of the finest proms in the history of the school, and also by handling the other dances of the Student Union with equal finesse. A weekly news-cast, called nThe Baconian Jr. of the Air, was inaugurated over the loud-speaker system this year and proved an immense success. The Publicity Committee worked quietly and efficiently in keeping the bulletin boards and posters in good order and in performing other necessary deeds in the task of publicizing Roger Bacon's activities. Through the tireless efforts of The Student Union, relations between the school and the Cincinnati Street Railway Company were greatly improved. Senior monitors were assigned to the school cars and these men cut down the element of vandalism immeasurably. With this second year of operation behind it, The Student Union moves into its third year of exist- ence, mighty proud of objectives accomplished and eagerly awaiting the new problems that will arise in the roadway of this infant government. l h Sealed Heft lo righrl: D.

ROGER BACKHUS KEN URMSTON PAL'L PALMISANO GEORGE ROGERS , This year ten privileged Baconites participated in the WSAI program, hJunior Town Meeting of the Airf This program, started in Cincinnati in 1944, was the occasion for the formation of the discussion dub under the name of the Town Meeting, Juniors. In preparation for the radio appearances of the individual speakers, the club again functioned this year under the guidance of Father Florian Greve as faculty moderator. Dick Neal and Ken Urmston served as president and secretary respectively. One of the main duties of the Club was to foster and encourage faithful attendance at the studio broadcasts, especially whenever Roger Bacon was represented. By this participation Roger Bacon can be proud of its effort to achieve the dehnite purpose of a discussion clubei'to find the facts, focus the facts, ftlter the facts, face the facts, and follow the Etatcts.w Learning which occurs during a discussion is more real and less academic in step with the techniques of the day, and represents the role of speech in civic living. In such activity is self-expres- sion, which is a desired goal of high quality in every student earnestly working toward progressive ideals. Because of his constant encouragement and direction, on behalf of Roger Bacon, Father Florian has received the thanks and con- gratulations of the W'SAI personnel. Hardly did it ever fail that Bacon had the best representation at the studio broadcasts and took part most actively in the question period. This radio experience has directed natural interest into purposeful activity, and has helped to emphasize the primacy of ideas combined with effective speech. As a permanent remembrance each of the Roger Bacon representatives received a distinctive pin of Cloisonne enamel with an engraved cross as a guard. REV. FLORIAN GREVE , 0.1:.M.

System from 1:55 to 2:05 to the accompaniment of a variety of themes 0111 of which, through some happy coincidence, sounded exactly like T.Dfs Song of IndiaJ The Bacam'mz Jr. of the Air, brought the very latest news to each and every Roger Bacon student. REV. CONAN TAYLOR, O.F.M. Moderator The theme, accompanied by Arch Kemis interrup- tions, gave way to the rapid fire chatter of Ken Halloran, who alternated with Fred Schneider, in covering the activities field. Ray Buffler, or his alternate, Pete Kelsey, then followed with scoops on sports events and in turn was succeeded by Bill Hoffer and his views on personalities in the news. After Bill Price's report of Student Union doings, Archie finaled the show off with the admonition, Remember, if you hear it on the B. Jr., it's gotta be true! Although aired for the first time in late November, this show has sustained its instantaneous populat- ity and now tanks on a par with any of the older and more vine-covered organizations. The silent man behind the mike, Father Conan, the program pro- ducer, and his control room engineers, the members of the Freshman Science Club, deserve no small thanks for the success of this new and highly enter- taining organization. THE IACONIAN JR. OF THE AIR The whole purpose of extra curricular activities is to aid the student in self-expression. Guided by the master crafts- men, the extra curricular organizations work under the direc- tion of these faculty moderators to develop the utmost in student accomplishments. One of the most hard-working, yet most misunderstood of these groups, is the Camera Club. Under the guidance of Father Lucian, the Camera Club has developed into one of the major activities, serving the school consistently with photographs of fine quality; Cynics who deride the camera club for its quiet orthodox methods of taking pictures, might well spend these moments of ridicule in serving the school as out photography enthusiasts do. The camera men not only have served the school well but also have brought her great recognition. Entering city, state, and nation wide photography contests, the Kodak Kids have advanced the name of Roger Bacon far more, with less acknowledgement, than have many of the school's more publicized athletic teams. In the 1947 Shillito Art Contest, open to students of all Cincinnati High Schools, Roger Bacon won the first three prizes for the best photographs. President Roy Hirtzel proved the leadership invested in him by winning first prize. Second and third prizes were taken by Herbert Pahren and Flashbulb Gus- tin, respectively. Their three winning photographs are now entered in a national art contest at Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, proving beyond a doubt what a marvelous job the Camera Club is doing to advance the name of Roger Bacon to its well deserved place as a leader in high schools.

These thoughts and many similar ones will be going thrOugh your mind in ten or fifteen years from now when you discover your Troubadour in an old box in yeur attic.

Thafs what we want you to do. All part of an infinite plan, yOur 1947 Troubadour will pro- vide each of you readers, but especially you seniors, with food for reminiscing in the years to come. This yeafs staff felt signally honored in being selected to publish the Tenth Anniversary Edi- tion of the Troubadour. Previously known successively as The Baconian, The Iongleur, and The Spartan, the Roger Bacon yearbook was given in 1937 the permanent title, the Troubadour. During the past decade, the name Troubadour has become synonymous with high literary achievement in the field of high school public ations. Year after year, each succeeding edition has surpassed in beauty its illustrious predecessor. It is the wish of the ,47 Troubadour Staff that the Tenth Anniversary Edition has contin ued the Troubadour tradition of improvement. The Annual Staff, with Mr. Robert Fanning as its tireless moderator, put in long hard hours collecting and assembling the million-and-one items that go into the makings of a successful yearbook. Although the work at times was of staggering proportions, the knowledge that we had been chosen to be identified as the staff, and the thought that in the future someone, somewhere, would derive a few moments of pleasure from this Troubadour, seemed to com- pensate for our efforts.

BEN Dttecm Only a small percentage of the total school enrollment is sufficiently talented to select music as their medium of self-expression. It is the task of Father Bennet to take these individual artists and fuse them into one well functioning harmonious group. With a few sheets of music. an assortment of instruments, and long hours of practice, plus his own deft touch, Father Bennet produced an outstanding band this year. Snappily attired in their new uniforms, the band presented a fine spectacle as they entertained football crowds at the hnlf-times 0f the Spartan games. Their cadence and snap, plus their musical arrangements were greatly suggestive of a West Point drum parade. The highlight of this season was the pageant put on by the hand during the half-time of the first game of the Greater Cincinnati League dou- ble-header at Xavier Stadium. The sharps and flats shatpies started Cincin- nati's musical tongue wagging with a magnificent and highly amusing renditinn of Song of India? It is now jokingly rumored that the Spartan Band is the band that made Rimsky-Korsakoff famous. In all seriousness, the honor which the band has brought to Roger Bacon in its past season should make every Spartan heart swell with pride when this musical organization comes into a conversation as a topic for praise. THE BAND lIRDlS-EYE VIEW The orchestra is the band condensed and seated. From the good, Father Bennet chooses the best, molding a smooth unit which plays at all functions where a fine musical touch is required. This year the orchestra had an unusual number of opportunities to display Y its talents. When, for the first time in the school's histor , the Minister General of the FranciscanOtder, the Most Rev.Valentine Shaaf, visited Roget Bacon, the orchestra entertained him. Hundreds of people heard the boys between acts of the two plays; thousands more heard them at Xavier Field- house during the basketball double-headet. Two standard numbers, Sugar Blues and The Song of India were dressed up in 1947 style and proved to be great favorites with the student body. Modern styling, thorough practice, and smooth arrangements of all the latest popular hits gave out orchestra a polished and near-professional tone that is not common among most high school orchestras. If the plaudits which followed each fmal bar be any criterion of the orchestrals popularity, and we think they are, then the orchestra must be listed high among the students top favorites.

Going into the second year of training, the Roger Bacon Glee Club, under the guidance of Father Peter Ricke, has brought to the students of our school, a deep appreciation of harmony. Although in its infancy, Father Peter has left no classroom untuned in his effort to draw all the talented school citizens together and encourage them to utilize their musical abilityeall those who have any inclination at all towards music, are urged to give the Glee Club a chance to develop their love for the usharpsll and Hats.

This query was definitely and affirmatively answered this year with the formation of the Senior Dramatic Guild. Under the direction of Ft. Ermin Werle, this permanent group was dedi- cated to the fostering and developing of high dramatic ideals at Roger Bacon. Although many similar organizations have been founded in the past, it is safe to say that none of these have approached the goals reached by this years dramatic club. The first appearance of the Senior Dramatic Guild of 1946-47 was made in early October when the dramatists presented three short skits before the student body. The three one-act comedies were: Love C omest First; Between the Darla and the Daylight; and One For the Books. These farces were pre- views of the dramatic hilarity to follow this year. On January 10, 11, and 12, the Dramatic Guild presented Adam 5 Evenivzg, the first of two superb comedies. Following this, on April 10, 12, and 13, the dramatists presented another hilarious farce, Tbe Campbells Are Com- ing. To acquire the dramatic magnetism of feminine pulchritude, the Drama- tic Guild recruited nine dazzling damsels from Our Lady of Angels High School to add their graceful charm to an otherwise over-masculine setting. These girls did much to make the plays a success, especially from the finan- cial standpoint. Proceeds from these plays were for a two fold purpose. First, to cover the expenses and upkeep of the stage, props, costumes, etc., and secondly, to contribute to the fund for the new stadium. Unique was the organization of the Senior Dramatic Guild. After the cus- tomary President, Vice President, and Secretary, came a group of about twelve students Who carried the brunt of the work. These men were called promoter members. These promoter members, along with regular members form the organization. i Something entirely new in the way of dramatic awards was initiated this year. Presentation of uOscars, similar to those given in Hollywood was made to those artists who, during the past year had done the most to advance the cause of drama at Roger Bacon. Four uOscars were awarded this year. George Rogers received the Oscar for the best male role for the part of Cyrus Scudder in The Campbells Are Coming. James Keefe was awarded a similar award for the best sustaining role as Elmer Green in Adamis Evening. Miss Mildred Homan of Our Lady of Angels High School received an Oscar for the best feminine role as Ann in Adamis Evening. The 05cm? 1 for the best non-acting member of the group was presented to Herbert Zeis for his tireless efforts as stage manager. Presidenf . . . JAMES C. KEEFE, JR. Vice President . . .

Under the direction of Father Alvin K ' twelve seniors and juniors vied for honors in the art of oratory. uh Kenneth Urmston, a senior, won first prize for his classic rendition of the timely topic, uThe Challenge of Communism to America's Catholic Youth? Second and third honors were taken by two juniors, Paul Palmisano and Robert Perry respectively. e The Oratorical Contest is of great benefit to the students of the school. Not only does it benefit the participants by creating in them an eagerness and interest in fair competition, but is also of great value to those attending such a contest as one is sure to accumulate some ideas of how to improve his own individual oratorical prowess. This year there were seven seniors and five juniors taking part in this X competition. I THE ELOCUTIONISTS Splendid! Entertaining! Swell !eThese were the remarks of the several hundred members of the audience as they reluctantly filed from the auditorium Sunday evening, March 30. Their sincere expressions of delight were directed to the sophomore and freshmen who had so successfully presented their annual elocution contest. This corps of fine speakers, under the direction of Mr. Effler, the faculty moderator, in- cluded: Thomas Wilke, Herman Hube, Edward Lammert, Dale Dearwater, Robert Wal- ters, Edward Gangloff, William Walker, Robert Feller, Bernard Pellman, William Pat- rick, and George Tibbetts. Roger Bacon was graced with the services of three fine judges: Fr. Victor Drees, Mr. John Bok, and Mr. Frank Glueck, First prize was won by Edward Lammert with his rollicking All Aboard To tHebbing second prize was taken by Dale Dearwater as the boisterous Sam, the Leap Year Man; and third place was given to Robert Walters for his presenta- tion of Poe,s The Tell-Tale Heart.

For a multitude of reasons; love of the sport itself, thrill of competition, the fine feeling that goes With performing before crowds, and at Bacon-to get into the BH Athletic Club. There is nothing mysterious about the B Club; only its initiations are secret; but it is indeed difficult to win a place in its ranks. Only those who have won major letter awards, or minor letter men, whose teams have won championships, are eligible for membership. The object of the club is to promote good sportmanship and athletic participation. Activities include the semi-annual initiations, open dances, and a picnic at the end of the year. Presidem . . . .

Beeause of the highly specialized nature of their interests, these groups were rather self-contained and consequently, whlle a beehive busyness existed within their own spheres, few demonstrations of their industry fell beneath the eye of the general student body. With many unpublicized accomplishments to their credit this year and with bigger and better things planned for next year, these clubs soon will be bidding for the leadership of the activity field.

Not only to assure perfection upon completion, but also to secure a hardy tiber-tested material that will not be shattered by the buffeting of the world, the Artisan repeatedly subiects the Student-Stotue to Cl tempering process known as athletics. Participating in sports is one of the best character building proc- esses known. Our Statue while being brought to complete physi- cal development, learns many valuable lessons in this tempering process. One of these is the value of team work, of subordinat- ing himself for the greater good. Another is dependability, wherein he gains the respect of his associates and o seIf-respect for his own capabilities. Hard bumps are taken in their stride; bitter pills of defeat, fore- runners of the many little disillusions the future holds in store, teach him not to let apparent reversals crush his spirit. On the other hand, victory and success in athletics has perhaps the most powerful effect on the character of our Statue. The effect can be either good or bad. Success can either swing the Student-Stotue off balance by imbueing in him an overly impressive idea of his own prowess, or cement the feeling of selt-contidence and, having whetted his appetite, implant a zeal for further athletic achievement. Yes, athletics do strengthen characters, but just as the excessive tempering of steel in fire can melt, so sports can be harmful. But at Roger Bacon the artisans carefully control the well being of their Masterwork. A well balanced, finely tempered program of athletics takes its proper place at Roger Bacon, neither more, I nor less. mum .. , ,- 5M meW- v..m.....ak.m 601 5 . , y: 'w , Wrmw STADIUM On May 7, late in the second semester of this school year '46-'47-while seniors were losing themselves in an aura of graduation anticipationpe the underclassmen were busily reviewing chapters previously neglected-e iwhile the teachers were composing tinol examinations, suddenly from the office of the Principal, came a startling and unexpected announcement: THE SITE FOR THE ROGER BACON STADIUM HAS BEEN SELECTED! A dream come true, sang the newspapers; and rightly so, for this announcement was the biggest event in the school's history since the actual erection of the school itself. Negotiations had been completed and barring maior impediments, we were told that the '48 football season would find us parking our cars in our 400 car lot, sitting in our own stadium ialong with 14,998 other football enthusiastsi watching our team romp to victory on our own gridiron. We wait in breathless expectancy. On a seven acre expanse of land, situated south of Mitchell Avenue, and east of Vine Street, the Roger Bacon Stadium will be erected. The natural contours, rolling gently to form a valley, mode this tract an ideal location for such a structure. The congratulations of the students, graduates, and loyal friends of Roger Bacon are extended, and their support pledged to those who have made possible the fulfillment of this dream. To 0 year already marked with progress, the announcement of the new stadium was indeed a fitting climax to Father Andrew's first year as Principal of Roger Bacon High School. The Athletic Department is administered by the Athletic Director, Father Jordan, with the assistance of the coaching staff. Father Jordan, now completing his tenth year as director, arranges the schedules, Outfits the teams, and makes traveling arrangements. The coaches, of course, bear responsibility for the teams. No easy task is theirs; for although victory showers the plaudits of all, defeat rains derision upon even the most valorous effort. As if, the manifold details of interscholastic competition in the seven sports were not enough, the Athletic Department also conducts a vigorous intramural program, wherein the lesser athletes vie for honor and glory for their respective home rooms. The physical education classes in which all students e from the huskiest three-letter senior to the scrawniest gym-shoe-forgetting freshmanemust participate, build strong bodies and aSSure a high degree of physical fitness at all times thrOughout the school. This year Roger Bacon had everything, good teams, a hugh following, and-rgood cheerleaders. We point with pride at our yell boys, for they were without a doubt the best in the city. Not too long ago, two years ago, to be exact, Spartan cheerleaders were no better than those of any other school. But that was before Father Conan and Ken Urmston came along. With revital- ized cheers and jazzed routines they gave our cheerleaders a lift which raised them all the way up to the top of the list in the city. Time and time again sportswriters wrote about our boys in glowing terms. When they took their position in front of the stands, the fans were in fur a treat and they knew it.

Yes, we may be proud of them, for they had what it. takes to go in front of a large group of people. Making the cheerleading motions is not easy, besides nerve the boys must also be well drilled which means long hours of practice. Let us extend heartiest congratulations to these boys, and especially to Father Conan and Captain Ken Urmston for they certainly did a fine job. THE VARSITY. '48 and '49 that is! Every boy who tries out for the football team aspires to make the varsity first string, but he is a very rare boy who can do this without previous experience. To enable freshmen and sophomore neophytes to learn the fundamentals of the game, most schools now maintain special teams for these youngsters. Thus we see that the prime objective of the reserve coach is to teach his boys how to play, winning ball if possible, but primarily, right ball. We will not know how successful the coach, Mr. Ornella, was in teaching his freshmen until next year, since he never let a combination play together more than a few minutes in each game. This gave every- one valuable experience. The team had three defeats and a tie in four games. Our reserves did better, but for the second straight year lost out to St. X. in the championship game. Their league record was two won and one lost. First Row, Sealed: R. Fohlomp, R. Hartman, R. Hoelscher, C. Young, A. Kesse, J. Clark, Second Row, Sealed: J. Barren, P. Findley, R. Rumpke, D.

THE VARSITY Left end JACK BERLING is one of the best all- around athletes in the history of the school. Besides being a first-string gridder for two years, Punchy is also a member of the basketball team and earned tour letters as an 880 yard man in track. He was Captain of the track team his iunior and senior years. Big TOM SICKING is a local St. Bernard product who holds varsity letters in football and basketball. His dad was a famous Big- League baseball player. Little DON LAROSA is the smallest, sctoppiest player on the team. Don uses every bit of his 135 pounds iousting about with the bigger boyi Lonky FRANK MIDDENDORF played a bang up game at center this year, despite a bad knee. Mott is also an outstanding south- paw hurler on the baseball team. Captain WALTER HDINK HAUSFELD, the pride of the Spartan Eleven, is one of the finest athletes ever to motriculate through Bacon. After earning a varsity baseball let- ter his freshman year, and capping a few more moior numerals in baseball, football, basket- ball, and track in his sophomore year, Dink was laid low by reoccurrent knee injuries. After undergoing an operation, Captain Walt returned to lead the football team through a very successful season. Big GENE DIETRICH is one of the finest tackles ever turned out in Ciricinnati. He turned down a football scholarship to Annapolis to attend his hometOWn University of Cincinnati. JACK MCALLISTER was the most Unpounded lineman on the team, and is the lost one of a long line of McAllister boys to play on the Spartan team. Jack was a hord-working regu- lar on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. DON STEVENS is a sophomore sensation who dazzled the spectators at Spartan games with his pig-skin pitching. GEORGE DREILING is a Navy veteran who returned to Bacon to finish his education. He is a welcome returnee to the grid and cinder tecmsi Fullback WALT SWEENEY is the hardest work- ing back on the field. This is proof that Coach Jake showed no portiolity to his kid brother. PETE RIST shifted from fullback to the half- back at the commencement of the season and showed a good deal of improvement. His 80 yard touchdown jaunt on the opening kickoff of the season against North College Hill was unforgetabteetoo-bad somebody was offside. DON STEVENS Quartet: Back Math CAPT. 'D'INK HAUSFELD Right Guard JACK-:Mc-ALLISTER THE PIGSKIN PARADE? JOLTIN GENE DIETRICH From scores of candidates answering the invita- tion to try out for football, Coach Jake Sweeney and his assistant, Mr. Walter Ornella, selected the 1946 edition of the football Spartans. Although handicapped by the loss of backfield men and four linemen, through graduation, Coach Sweeney turned out a rather good team which was able to rise to great heights by the end of the season. The season opened with a game against North College Hill. Don Stevens, sophomore passing artist, was a sensation with his unerring tosses, as the Spartans coasted to a 41-0 win. But the fans, who were Visioning the city championship, had their hopes dashed, when on the following week, Covington Holmes defeated Bacon 19-7. Covington had lost but two games in two years -both to Bacon. The Spartans really had noth- ing about which to feel downcast. Nevertheless it was the beginning of things to come. One week later Columbus Aquinas, one of the better teams from the Capitol City, bowed in a thriller, 13-12. Those who saw this game will never forget Pete Risfs tremendous fifty-yard pass to Jack Berling which proved to be the winning touchdown. As a matter of fact this was the play of the season. The game of the season came later. Following the Columbus game, the Spartans en- gaged South Bend Central Catholic in What proved to be an easy game, 53-0. 50, with three victories over teams from three states, the team prepared for its first League encounter, a joust with Elder. Although it has been charged and lately candidly admitted, the game was not handled correctly, the fact remains that the Spar- tans received a severe pounding, 27-0 to be exact. This proved to be the high point of the season for the Price Hill lads. The next week, confident that surging crowds would not again run interference for rampag- ing backs, Roger Bacon took on the high flying Cavaliers 0f Purcell. The boys were hopeful of blasting the Purcell men out of their twenty- six games-and-a-tie victory streak, but then the roof fell in. Before the debris had been cleared away the bruised, battered, weary Spartans found themselves on the unhappy end of a 34-7 score. This was the low point of the season. The prophets of gloom foresaw three disastrous games ahead. However, Ludlow was even worse it seemed, and was tousled aside 41-6. Nine days later, the St. Xavier Bombers, by vit- tue of their 18-0 conquest of Elder and an 8-0 record, took the field, a seven touchdown favor- ite over the Spartans. But the Spartans had had enough. Rising up to smash an early Xavier WALLOPING WALT HAUSFELD IN REVIEW drive, they put in two touchdowns of their own to pull one of the biggest upsets of the season. When the fans and the Xavier team recovered from their shock enough to glance at the score- board, they saw that Roger Bacon had scored two first half touchdowns and had held X to a second half safety for a stunning 13-2 win. Bernie Roeckers was the star of this game, but he was just the brightest of the bright for the whole team was magnificent. With a game like this under their belts, it was just mere routine for the Spartans to send St. Xavier Louisville to its eighth straight defeat, 27-6. This was the 1946 season. Much credit and thanks should be given to the head coach, Jake Sweeney and his assistant, Wal- ter Ornella. Jakeewe regret to say-has left his Alma Mater to become Freshman Coach of the U.

Good luck in the future Jake. I T c all but the most avid Spartan basketball fan Roger Baconts capture of the District cage crown came as more than a mild Surprise. By many outsiders the Bacon squad was not even considered a good contender for the league title, much less the district diadem. But around a lone returning regular, Charlie Casebolt, Coach OTLeary moulded a Cinderella team that brought great honor to Roger Bacon. During the regular season the team was more or less erratic. They rose at times to great heights with surprising victories only to fall to defeat in some humiliating upsets. At no time in the early season did they give a true indi- cation of the power they were to exert when tournament time rolled around. The first indication of this power was a surprise victory over Elder in the final Greater Cincinnati League double-header. The Panthers had already been crowned league champs and this victory over them was the beginning of a wave of Spartan upsets that was to have its finale in downing them again to win the District Championship. The winning of the District Championship was a major accomplishment for in the tournaments are the eleven best teams in the city. Copping the crown from the ten other cage powers took a lot of basketball brain Tn brawn. 'Also the fact that an unheralded Roger Bacon team was seeded fourth in the tourney put great mental pressure on our lads. Still the boys were determined to show that they were not a Hash-in-the-pan team but a really fine aggre- gatmn. Beginning tournament play, Bacon avenged a previous Hughes defeat by drumming the Big Reds in a thrilling over- time game. A romp over W'estern Hills and an upset victory over the highly seeded Walnut Hills brought the Spartans face to face with Elder again. This time the game was to decide the District crown. As in the previous contest Our boys staged 21 Frank Merriwell finish and came out on top. Representing Cincinnati in the regional tournament at Dayton, the Roger Bacon Rover Boys lost to Middletown 51-48 in an overtime period. Although losing to the eventual State Champs, the Spartans nevertheless gave a fine account of themselves and were a credit to their school and district. The District trophy in our trophy-case shall ever be a reminder of that spirited and spectacular ,47 team that not only hwent to town but also went out of town. i DON HUFFNER Another iunior who will Be very welcome on the squad next year. Sly and tricky like a cot, Don caused our opponents many agonizing moments with his clever boll handling and shooting. A basketball player who uses his head as well as his body. 'k PETE RETHMAN A lanky lad from Corryville who was Ierritic on shots from the side of the court. Although appearing sleepy-eyed, Pete was neverthel'ess very wide awake and on his toes every minute. He scored 181 points during the regular season. Will be c: welcome returnee next year. 'k DON HMooseH KLEINGERS Moose is one of those i'diamonds in the rough'i that you hear about. He played on the intramural basketball team and on St. Clement's C.Y.O. quintet before Coach O'Leary disv covered him and persuaded him to come out for the team. Although missing the first third of the season, the lanky St. Bernard boy still managed to score 108 points during the regu- lar season and rank fourth among the scoring Spartan hoopsters. Extremely shy and bashful, Don let his basketball playing do his talking for him. He will be sorely missed next year. i JACK McAlllSTER Rugged, aggressive, and hard-working can best compliment the team's most improved player, senior Jack McAllister. Mac was a doubtful starter when the season opened but once he won that guard position no one on the team could take it away from him. Improv- ing by leaps and bounds as the season progressed, big Hchn was an inspiring player out there on the floor. His calm words of encouragement to his fellow players in crucial periods of the game had a great steadying influence. Although a talented tongAshot artist, Mac shied away from shooting, content to let his running mate and buddy, Charlie, draw the defense out with long range hits. Vk CAPTAIN CHARLIE CASEBOLT A diminutive bundle d dynamiie would best describe our Captain and AlI-Cily guard, Charles Cosebolf. Although small in stature this little live-wire had no peer when it come to long ser shots and dribbling. His cool, commanding leadership when the chips were down won many a game for us and gave Captain Charley the nickname of fhe boy with the ice wafer in his veins, Many of his 180 points during 1he regu1or season were scored late in the lost Quarter and offen meant the difference befween victory and defeat. A fine clutch player, a mognifwcenf basketball player, and 0 great leader of a great foam.

BACON BOWS TO MIDDLETOWN IN OVERTIME. Bacon lost; the cold and impersonal box score told as much, but what :1 tough one to lose! Three points in overtime. After that game no other team came so close. Many hoop enthusiasts concurred that the Bacon-Middle- town rift was the game which decided the State title. If only . . . but then, the saddest are these: lIt might have been? ll Wilh a grin oi glee, Casey prepares to sink a free one In November, Coach OlLeary was perturbed to find only one regular, Captain Charles Casebolt, returning from last yearls League Champions. To supplement this ace there were two returning letter men, senior Jack McAllister and junior Bill Rethman. With these three men as a nucleus, the coach molded a team that would prove to be the Cinderella team of the district and one of the finest Clutch teams in the history of the school. On the evening of November 29, Bacon basket masters opened the season with an unimpressive victory over a fighting Ludlow crew. A conquest over the toothless Tigers of Withrow followed, but the Spartan victory splurge was abruptly halted by the high flying Eagles of Walnut Hills. After that, the Spartan machine appeared to be really rolling. But then those dastardly Blue Devils of Plainville slapped our boys down 41-35. Christmas of 1946 was indeed a sad one for us. After the holidays, the Spartan basketeers tried to get started again. The Brown and White machine blew a gasket, chugged ahead for awhile, then fell completely apart in those games with Elder and Hughes. This was rock bottom. Bacon could fall no more. While the crepe hangers prepared a Spartan obituary, the Bacon band- wagon, now quite empty, once more started to go. Before anyone realized what was happening, Casebolt and Com- pany had knocked off three kingpins, North College Hill, Lockland Wayne, and Elder. TLet us dismiss the second St. Bernard game by simply stating that the Titans were consolation winners in the B t0urnamentJ Elder, al- ready crowned champs, were merely playing out the sched- ule in the final G.C.L. doubleheader. No one doubted for a second that Elder would repeat their previous 6246 rout; ethat is, no one except Casey, Mac, and Moose, who thought it would be nice to finish their high school hoop careers with a victory, even if it meant pulling the most spectacular upset of the season. Ah yes, there was sad news for Price Hill that night. This victory itself would have provided the affirmative margin between a successful and unsuccessful season, but it merely started a low rumble that was to increase in crescendo until ending on a sad note at Dayton. This surprise showing against Elder merited the Spartans fourth seeding in a field of eleven Class A teams. They then proceeded to beatlHughes in an overtime, romp over West Hi, and pulled a second startling upset by tripping Walnut Hills. As tongues wagged and heads shook, the Spartans downed Elder, proving the first victory no fluke. The win enabled Bacon to take the District Trophy home to our trophy case. Moose cuts looseiswish-inother point for R.B. Then followed the Middletown game. Nuff sed. This brought to a close one of the most successful exhibi- tions of Spartan spirit in the annals of Bacon athletics. Long remembered will be the habits and idiosyncrasies of Casey, Mac, Moose and other departing stalwarts of this line team. Long remembered will be the coaching of Charley OlLeary, who produced a team almost compar- able to the 38339 club on which he himself started and led to heights yet to be equaled in Bacon's history.

INTRAMURAL CHAMPIONS AQUATIC ACES The metmen of Roger Bacon, this year splashed to third place in the Greater Cincinnati High School League. under the guiding rudder of Coach Walter Ornella. Hampered, not by lack of work, aggressiveness, or capable swimmers, but by the smallness of their team, the aqua ducks ceded first to Elder and then to St. Xavier in their swims for the laurels. Dick Karle surprised local swimming enthusiasts, by displaying a wondrous stamina, which enabled him to take first or second place in every 100 yard back stroke face he swam this season. Dick, as his coup de grace, finished his high school swimming career by placing second in the 100 yard back stroke event in the South-westetn Ohio 'District Meet. Because of transfer rules, Jim Murphy was ineligible for all but the last quadrangular and district meets. He swam breast stroke and free style for the Brown and White and completed high school swimming activi- ties by placing third in the 50 yard, free style, in the District Meet. For placing in these meets these two boys received medals and the privilege of swimming in the State Meet. These two boys were well supported by the successful swimming of Raymond Folz, a sprint free style expert; Richard Durchholz, a gallant long distance free styler; and Al Trombragel, a hard pulling back stroke man. The Brown and White mermen of Coach Ornella may have superceded only a few teams in the pools, but they won the admiration and respect of all their opponents by their will to win.

SPRING SPORTS With the demise of the basketball season and the coming of spring, the Athletic Department suddenly finds itself engulfed with the activities of four sports, operating simultaneously. Four separate squads must be coached and outfitted; four different teams are often scheduled on the same day. Since mother nature weeps copiously during the spring, there are many postponements which Fr. Jordan must either reschedule or cancel. Each sport culminates in' a tournament, or district meet, in the case of track, so everyone must work feverishly to be in top form for the big events. Besides the weather and the brevity of the season, the boys engaged in spring sports must battle the indifference of the spectators. The crowds cheer for the football and basket ball teams in the fall and wintet, but mow their lawns in spring. No one gives them the pat on the back Which is so justly due them. Congratulations boys, and keep up the good work! OBASEBALL The team, under our new coach, Mr. Frank Hayes, showed considerable improvement over last year. Coming in second to Elder in the League, the boys are gunning for the Panthers in the tournament finals. At this writing, they have but to defeat Purcell in the semi-finals, and then Elder, to go up state. The high spot of the season so far, has been Herby Bell- man,s no hitter against Walnut Hills. Congratulations to Coach Hayes, and the boys, for a job well done. OTRACK' Our men of the oval way did not do as well as expected this season, but perhaps the op- position has been stiffer. In the all-important Catholic League meet, Roger Bacon trailed St. Xavier by two points and Purcell by twenty. Elder is traditionally last. N ext yeafs team Will sorely miss Jack Berling, an 880 winner for four years, and the trio made up of Pete Rist, Gene Schwartz, and Bob Dineen, all consistent point makers. .TENNIS uAs they cross the linish line, itls Xavier first, closely followed by the Spartans, and com- ing in on the outside we see Purcell and Elder fighting for number three spot? Yes, that is the way a spottscaster would call the finish of this yeafs'tennis race. Bacon did rather well, although the HX boys did beat them out. Charlie Casebolt was a line leader. Since the nucleus of the squad will be back next season, Spartan prospects are very bright. .GOLF As waterlogged wood sinks in water eventually settling near the bottom, so the golf team fell in, sank, and eventually came to rest just above the dark recesses of the League cellar. Out divot diggers were able to salvage only a pair of victories over Elder. This was good for third place. A poor season was in order, however, as former Roger Bacon golfers had won two consecutive championships and graduated. Our boys Will benefit greatly by this years experience.

He further aids the development of his Statue by subjecting it to the tempering influence of athletics, and to the seIt-relicmt effect of clubs and activities. But all these are not sufficienteWe know this by observing the admitted failure of other social institutions to strengthen the morals ot the citizens. What is still lacking in our Student-Statue is the Master's Touch, which is delicately poised and guided by the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit which effected life in Jesus Christ, and the supernatural life of grace in mom. At Roger Bacon this touch is not negatively recognized by merely making some sort of provision for it. It is an actual, positive, indispensable port of school life. From his first glance at the brown robed priests of St. Francis, to the final address to the graduating class by His Grace, the Most Reverend Arch- bishop, the student is constantly reminded of his religious heritage. Nor does the Artisan stop with religious instruction. First Friday devotions, a retreat, Lenten exercises and May Devotions, all are sponsored by the school, and all aid inestimably in his spiritual growth. Yes, The Master's Touch is more than an activity at Roger Bacon; it is the whole reason for the school's existence. ,w m m k m.. u m. mi, 3.: Q: ,5 H w W 37-130 m IN MEMORIAM THE MOST REVEREND VALENTINE SCHAAF , O.F.M. In late November of 1946, Roger Bacon High School, its faculty and students, were signally honored by a visi'r from, and were privileged to meet, The Most Reverend Vaientine T. Schoof, O.F.M., Minister General of the Franciscan Order. Today, We of Roger Bacon bow our heads in respect ro a saintly man, whom God has called to his eternal reward. May he rest in peace. THE RETREAT OUR RETREAT MASTER, REV. JEROME KIRCHER, O.F.M. On one occasiun :1 certain man asked professor Charles Townsend Copeland why he lived on the top floor of Hollis Hall at Harvard University in his small and dusty old rooms. This person suggested that he move to another location more favorable for his studies and his literary pursuits. No, said Professor Copeland. I shall always live here on the top floor. It is the only place in Cambridge where God alone is above me. Then after a pause, he added, Hels busyebut Hels quiet. It was far the purpose of this quiet, that the students of Bacon set aside three days at the close of the first semester for the purpose of taking advantage of this quiet with God. They, too, wished to be busy-ebut quiet with God. They wanted to give God a chance to do the talking to them. The silence which marked this year's retreat was evidence indeed that the boys were busily inspecting the status of their souls. With his opening lecture, Father Jerome, our Retreat Mas- ter, won the heart; of all the students. With a rare gift for injecting effective humor at the right spot, and a free use of high schoolerB jargon, Father Jerome expressed many practical, aged 01d truths which were not only vividly but also lastingly impressed upon the minds of his atten- tive listeners. As the retreat ended and the three day veil of silence was lifted, many voices were heard to say, this was the best retreat ever! Father Jerome, his retreat, and his spiritual counsel will be long remembered. FIRST FRIDAY DEVOTIONS God and religion have been referred to as The Master's T0uch. Please do not think of this touch as something merely added as an afterthought, but rather as a necessary factor in the character building process of every Catholic Student. Frequently during the day the student is reminded of the importance of keeping in close touch with God. Before classes start in the morning, a prayer is said to the Holy Ghost; lunch is not partaken of until after the pray- ing of the Angelus; and at the close of the meal, thanks are offered to God. But this is not enough. Out of His lcwe for mankind, Almighty God has given us the Sacraments, thereby mak- ing it possible for us to feel the touch of His grace to our souls. At Roger Bacon the students are urged to receive the sacraments and everything is done to encourage them l0 do 50. Every Thursday before the first Friday of the month, Father Bennet conducts a teligious assembly during the first period. After the assembly, students have an opportunity to go to confession. The Artisan is the confessor. The next day, UFirst Fridayi the students attend Mass in the audi- torium which has been converted into a chapel for that day, and receive Holy Communion. These devotions are very well attended, as evidenced by the extremely large number of boys who go to confession and the huge per- centage who receive Holy Communion. Religious aSSemblies are for the purpose of rounding out the student's religiOus education. Since each yearis course deals with a particular phase of religion, and does not specifically cover any current event which may occur, these assemblies may often be called the ungraded class. However, Ft. Bennet did not make these as- semblies mere lecture periods, but instead, conducted them as events wherein one learned, or reviewed, an im- portant iSSue in Christian living. Coming, as they ordinarily did, on the Thursday before the First Friday devotions, these assemblies aided to con- dition the students for confessions, which were heard during each classis religion period, and for mass on the following day. The program which accomplished this consisted of religious hymns, prayers and a short lecture or sermon by Fr. Bennet. Afterwards, the students re turned to their classes to pursue languidly the routine of studies. During Lent, Fr. Bennet conducted assemblies each week, since the Lenten Season is a time for special relig- ious observance. REV. BENNET ROTHAN, O.F.M. Spiritual Director An innovation this year at Roget Bacon has been the Catholic Magazine Rack in the cafe- teria, operated by the Catholic Student's Mis- sion Crusade. It has had a twofold purpose...- to promote the reading of Catholic publica- tions among the students and-to provide the C.S.M.C. with a small income which is used to aid the Missions.

THE SENIORS SAY FAREWELL As the scissors of graduation sever the threads of our high school life, we, the seniors, realize that the time has come to say farewell. We have changed a great deal since that September morning, four years ago, when we entered Roger Bacon. Then we were timid and nervous, and perhaps a little frightened, as is always the case when undertaking a new venture. Now with graduation upon us, we are again preparing to face a new venture. Again, we are nervous but we are not afraid. We have been trained here at Roger Bacon to be Christian gentlemen. Our schooling has been physical, mental, and moral. Being fortified, we can face whatever may come, prepared and con- fident. Our teachers have done that for us. We will not forget. Even though our training is what really counts, nevertheless, the name Roger Bacon will always have another connotation for us. Roger Bacon will mean the place where we met George, or Jim, our life long buddy. It is our adopted home where we began to grow up, to see new worlds, to form new interests. Here we cheered for our brown and white clad classmates, as they did or died for Spartanville. In these halls we had fun, met with set backs, overcame obstacles . . . grew up. It is all over now. We are leaving you, Roger Bacon. Commencement has come and we must go. But we will remember . . . we will be glad we came . . . and we will be ever grateful. , . . , I . , . . q. . I , . .V.

Bur autsidc hssistmxzts Inside the studio most of the toil in The Shaping of 0 Man is performed by the Sculptor and the Subject. However, from without, assistance in this proiect is lent by three important organizations. The P.T.A., the D.F.T. Club, and the Alumni Association are our outside assistants who attend the Sculptor and indirectly aid him in his work. The P.T.A. and the D.F.T. Clubs, composed of parents of the students, manifest their interest in their son's educa- tion and their son's school by cooperating with the school and its policies, and by supporting the various social activi- ties. Thus a harmonious understanding among the school, the parent, and the student is effected and in turn results in a friendly personalized education for the students rather than C1 cold four year scheme of fact accumulation. The Alumni Association endeavors to perpetuate after graduation, the strong bond of contraternity which was seeded in the school days. As individuals, and as a group, these graduates practice, and so keep alive the principles of Christian life- which were inculcated by their Franciscan professors. Let us look now at these purposeful organizations which, while only indirectly related to the school, are very closely related to the students! Firs!

True he is out of school earlier than usual, but monfs there in his place! Not that Joe begrudges her a day off to enjoy the scin- tillating company of the other mothers, or to pry secrets from the teachers, but will Father tell her about the missed homework? the paper wads? or will be be a good guy and drill on that 97? This picture, somewhat exaggerated, expresses the underlying purpose of the P.T.A., namely,ec!ose cooperation between home and the school. Well organized and established, with many years of fruitful service to its credit, the P.T.A., by its constant devotion of time and energy, has always sought to further the interests of the school and the pupils. Each monthly meeting is attended by a large group of mothers intent upon devising new ways where- by they might assist the school. Their gracious cooperation and untiring devotion is indeed commend- able. Roger Bacon High School is grateful for this fine organization. School spirit is not confined to the student body alone, for in the D.F.T. Club we find a genuine and overwhelming eagerness exists to be of service to the students and the school. Organizing a few years ago with a handful of men, the D.F.T. Club now has a roster of close to 500 members, many of whom have pledged themselves as life members, through their contribution to the :Stadium Fund. The Dads show much interest in contacting the teachers of their sons. Early in the school year a special meeting night is designated as, Father and Son Night? for the purpose of bringing the Dads, students and teachers together. This enables them to diSCuss problems both trivial and impor- tant, creating a spirit of understanding and cooperation between the home and school. Meetings held once a month are well attended. When all business has been dispatched, varied enter- tainment both social and educational is furnished for their enjoyment. Refreshments are also served.

The Alumni Association is not as old as the Alma Mater itself. From 1929 until 1940 a number of honest and sincere efforts to establish an alumni group were made, but all of them were short-lived. The present association celebrated its sixth anniversary in January by looking back upon the early months of its infancy when it totteted, stumbled and almost felleand by looking ahead to new undertakings that six years ago were in the minds of only the most progressive and optimistic alumni. The alumni feel that success should come to any organization that builds soundly and upon a solid foundation. In this case the foundation is the principles set forth in the alumni constitution itself: to promote higher Catholic education; to aid in every possible way the welfare of Roger Bacon; to promote good fellowship among the alumni; and to keep ever alive those ideals and principles that each graduate takes with him when he leaves Roger Bacon. The thought underlying every alumni function-be it picnic, dance, or retrent-is this: we are better men, better Christians, for having spent four years at Roger Bacon. We want to improve our status as citizens and Catholics by living lives based upon the principles we were taught. With the support of some two-thousand Catholic young men the goals of the association have been deliberately set high. There is no doubt in the mind of any loyal alumnus that they will be achieved.
