Although Roman Catholic High is the oldest and the first Catholic High School in the United States, it is far from antiquated in its views toward the life of each student within its portals. The student is given a wide choice of courses together with full opportunity for athletic development, and his four years here are topped With CI thick layer of social activities. For those boys planning college, a high caliber academic course is offered. Those interested in office work may choose the commercial, while students who are undecided in their plans for the future may pick the general course of study. As A sound mind in a sound body is ct good Catholic Philosophy, athletics are emphasized here at Catholic High. The durability of this emphasis can be seen through the athletic prowess of many of the present Ccthillites. With its many Social Activities like The Senior Prom, and The Senior Play, Roman Catholic displays its capacity for making the term of every student four of the most memorable years of his life. T H I 5, above all, we shall remember . . . Roman Catholic High School has adopted the ideals set forth by Pope Pius XI, in his encyclical letter on Christian Education of Youth: The subject of Christian education is man. whole and entire . . . with all his faculties . . . the product 01 Christian education is the man who thinks. iudges, and acts in accordance with right reason illumined by the supernatural light of the example and teaching of Christ. At Catholic High we are trained tor the role we are to play in life. . . . B.E.H.S. . The dedication of Roman Catholic High School, at Broad and Vine Streets, yesterday, marked a great onward step in the progress of the Parochial School System of the Cath- olic Church . . . The school is the only one of the kind in the United States. lPhiladelphia Press, September 7, 1890i Having reaped much fruit from his long labors, Thomas E. Cahill was urged by friends at various times to give up his busi- ness for a while and to go abroad to enjoy the sights of Europe. He would merely reply that he had a thought in mind, cherished for years, and for its realization he wanted to make all the money with which God might bless him. No one surmised what this thought was until, after his death, his Will directed that, except for minor bequests, his entire fortune All good things must come to an enddven the school day. An observer at Broad and Vine, any day at two-thirty. must be impressed by the reluctance with which the students tear themselves from their scholastic . . First Free Catholic should be devoted to the founding of a Catholic High School for Boysethe first of its kind in the United States. The standards of this first Catholic High School for Boys were so high that in the first decade of the school's existence only twenty per cent of the students enrolled actually finished the four year course. Through the years, Catholic High has met storms of opposition but it has weathered these and has come down through the years virtually unharmed. It is to our Administra- tors and Faculty, therefore, that a word of thanks and gratitude should be tendered for their untiring efforts towards the furthering of the good interests of Roman Catholic High School-THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE UNTED STATES OF AMERICA. pursuits. They are u mourniul lot as they move slowly through the school doors with faltering step and tecn- dimmed eye. They dread the thoughts of departure. If that is what you think, watch out brother! That's all! High School in the United States . . . Below, we have a clear view of the Vine Street en- trance any day at 2:30 P.M. sharp. We wonder why they are so gay and happy. Is there something going on? It couldn't be dismissal? Below, we see the famous cellar of Catholic High. It is open to view only utter school hours. You guessed itethe northbound platform of the Broad Street Sub- way. Its car No. 7 in the morning. what is it in the afternoon? When the snow falls thick and fast; into snowballs some is' cast. Well, the snow has certainly tallen and some is cast judging from the action in this picture. The boys had this out before the Fathers arrived to stop it. ...HIS EMINENCE . .t The career of His Eminence the Cardinal, extremely varied and colorful, has always been associated With education. After achieving an excellent scholastic record at home and abroad he became c1 professor at Saint Charles Seminary at Overbrook for thirteen years. Later, as Bishop in the Philippines and in Buffalo, he showed himself a true patron of learning. Under the auspices of the Cardinal, the Catholic School System of Philadelphia has become the model of the whole world. President of the board of trustees of the Roman Catholic High School, he has been identified very intimately With its progress. During his long and distinguished tenure as Archbishop of Phila- delphia he has ever been an inspiration towards learning and culture. The faculty and the students entertain towards him a strong respect and affection. ...HIS EXEELLENCY... His Excellency, Bishop Lamb, has long been numbered as a friend of Roman Catholic High School. His career, like that of His Eminence, has also been associated With education in this Archdiocese. Educated in Rome, he, too, became a professor in the Diocesan Seminary at Overbrook. Later he occu- pied the position of Associate Superintendent of Catholic Schools for several years. In this position he became very familiar with the pattern of our great school system, and ever afterwards has retained a keen interest in the prob lems of Catholic Education. His zeal has also extended itself to include Catholics attending the public schools. Following the precepts of the Holy See and under the patronage of the Cardinal, Bishop Lamb has displayed great vigor in the program of catechism for these children, as well as areligious education program for Catholic adults. The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine in this Diocese is a tribute to the zeal of the Cardinal and Bishop Lamb. ...HT. REV. MDNSIBNIJB . .. Monsignor John Bonner, the Diocesan Superintendent of Schools, is CI product and friend of Roman Catholic High School. He graduated from this school in the class of 1908. Later, after a scholastic career in Rome and Ordination, he returned to Catholic High as Vice-rector. His position for many years as Superintendent of Schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia has brought luster and renown to Philadelphia. The outstanding position Which Catholic Education in Philadelphia enjoys throughout the nation is due to a great extent to his Vigorous leadership. The task of constructing the great edifice of Catholic Education, under the direction of His Eminence, has occupied his talents for CI long time. We salute the Monsignor as CI distinguished alumnus. Eratefully We Dedicate This issue of our year book is respectfully dedicated to the memory of one 0t our most distinguished rectors, Monsignor William P. McNally. He served as rector of Roman Catholic High School from October 18, 1919 until February 14, 1933. During his lengthy tenure of office the An- nex system and the Student Council were inaugurated. Monsignor McNally brought to his position great gifts of mind and a vast practical experience in the field of education. He has left his mark and his memory will linger long at Catholic High. . . . IN MEMDBIAM . . . We mourn the passing of CI distinguished member of our faculty. Professor Vincent Furia of the class of 1904, was called to his eternal reward during the summer of 1944, just forty years after his graduation. The Professor, an outstanding student and distinguished teacher, devoted practically his entire life in the service of his Alma Mater. He studied in this hallowed building four years and returned to teach in the Com- mercial Department for thirty-three years. If I were Rector, I would do this or change that, etc. . . . No doubt this thought entered the mind of the Rector some thirty years ago when he matriculated at our beloved school. Father Cartin has contributed greatly to the splendid spirit of Catholic High and we feel that his efforts deserve the praise and plaudits of both the faculty and students. Perseverance and hard work deserve reward. Students who have achieved prominence in the iield of scholastic endeavor are presented honor cards by he rector. Father John A. Carlin. . . . They Show the Way . . . Four years ago we entered Catholic High full of ambitions, hopes and dreams. Now, as we leave these cherished halls and familiar classrooms, perhaps never to return again, we begin to realize who the people really were who made it possible for our hopes and dreams to be realized and who brought our ambitions closer to their accomplishment. As we depart, we begin to conceive, perhaps for the first time, the enormous task of administration which those pictured here have borne. They have received no material reward for their labors nor do they even ask for an expression of gratitude, for their aim is to produce graduates filled with the ideals of Christian education, and only by the elimination of ego and the concentration of omnes can their main objective be achievedeto make our graduates faithful to God and useful citizens of their country. The Rev. Frederick I. Moors, our busy In later years we will come to realize After more than fifty years at service Curriculum Director. takes time out from the common sense which lies behind he is still with us. And now do you his many duties to pose for the photo- the counsel and advice oi our own Pre- undexstand why the names of Catholic grapher before tackling the rosters. tect oi Discipline. the Rev.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is cherished by every student and he considers himself privileged to be per- mitted to assist at Mass once a week here at school. Father Quuin helps the boys, through visual aids, to All this and heaven too! You ask Why? The reason for a Catholic School education is that it offers the knowledge to equip us for the spiritual and material things of life. We believe that first things come first. Putting this belief into practice calls for learn- ing first the things of God and then, of the things of man. To the immature Freshman, we present the life of Christ, a study of Him Who as man was the world's greatest citizen and as God was its Creator. This is followed by the chief truths of His religion, the Apostles' Creed. For the Wiser Sophomores, Christ's Sacra- a 34:: WW aim? come to a better understanding of the Mass by explain- ing the various parts of the altar. Above. we see Fr. Quain illustrating these points to an interested group of underclassmen with a miniature altar. ments are explained, the means given us for living all this and heaven too. The year closes in looking into His living Church in Church History. The mature Juniors are admitted to the font of Divine Revelation, wherein they drink of the salutary waters of Sacred Scripture and Ancient Tradition. The finished Seniors delve into Apolo- getics, a scientific vindication of Christianity as taught by the Catholic Church. To us, religion is a way of life, and the study of it makes for a fuller living. Is it not true thenw AH this and heaven too? Above left, we catch a glance of one of Father McGin- ley's very popular religion classes: while on the right side of the panel Father Charles Devlin seems a bit perplexed by a student's answer to one of his questions on Religion. Well. what do you say. is he right, Father? We were waiting for Father Poul Cahill to start ex- u claiming Don't Fence Me In. the way those Juniors were converging on him. Zack in particular seemed to enioy these brief interludes during one of Father Cahill's delightfully informal third year Religion Classes. On the right. Father Frank Brassell lectures to a group of underclassmen. Fr. Brassell. Director of Dramatics. seems to be holding the attention of his young audience with his formal advice. . . . Math . . . Training in Precision . . . Therefore: angle A equals angle B. concludes Fr. Ioseph Brown in expounding a diHicult theorem to a group of seemingly bewildered sophomores. However, they all claim to know exactly what the score is'. . . . And there I was, in the middle of no- man's land; surrounded by fifty Germans with only my slide-rule as C: weapon . . . 1 While this is a bit far-fetched, it does illus- trate the moral that has been formulated by many returning service-men about the im- portance of Mathematics. Navigation, Aero- nautics, Radio, and Engineering are manly professions in which 0: thorough knowledge of Mathematics is essential. Since most boys have a natural knack for math, the classes are indeed both lively and interesting. Dur- ing the four years ct student is here at Cath- olic High, he learns to apply the older theo- ries to everyday problems. Thus Math is an ancient, and at the same time, a modern science. On the next page at the top we see Fr. John Huydt explaining the intricacies of Trigonometry to ct group 01 Seniors who seem willing to learn; while in the cen- ter Fr. Concannon uses the blackboard as his medium of teaching the Geometry Class. In the lower picture we catch a glimpse of one of Father Edmund Barr's informal algebra classes. Long will these classes he remembered. Below, Father McDevitt. a recent addition to the lac- iulty. is shown correcting the algebra problems of a group of Freshmen. Father seems to be getting his idea across judging from their understanding expressions. On the right we see a striking panorama of the various English classes. In the usual order, we have tits! oi all a portion of a Senior English period. The Irish have a field day here because it is Father Aloysius O'Connell advising Iim Maguire while Mize McLaverty gazes on. In the foreground Iim McKenna smirk; like the cat that ate the canary. In the middle photo are pictured a class of Sophomores guided by Fr. James '1'. Brennan: while over on the end we have the genial Fr. King explaining the dil'liculties of correct Oral Eng- lish to a group of interested Freshmen. Freshmen. like the rest of us. wish to express their thoughts by the spoken word and Father King is trying to guide them in their quest. From the Freshman class to the Senior class the subject of English occupies a prominent place in the studies of our school, and de- servedly so. tor it is often the one subiect which will surely be required by all of us during our lives. Father anncis I. Kimble instructs a sophomore in the correct usage of our native tongue. The boys thought that last sentence was a bit com- plicated too. until Father Kimble so willingly cleared up the difficulties. Strange that English should be so foreign to us. when its use has become so widespread that it gradually replaces French as the language of diplomats in all parts of the world. All of us will remember those amusing but informative sessions in English II undex Father Kimble's able tutelage. . . . English Aids Expression . . . In this modern world, with the lowering of the tide of illiteracy and the continual spread of civilization, only with a solid educational L foundation can true success be wrought. The most fundamental requisite of this foun- dation is at knowledge of the written and spoken language of the land in which we are to live. In its four year course Catholic High's English Department tries to bring to the student; first, a basic understanding of the language for usage in speaking and writing and second, cm appreciation of the beauty of the written word of the languages past masters. English is the life blood of our civilization; it is the nucleus of our social life; it is the orbit around which revolves the intellectual development of our nation, and this must be stable. While Father John Fitzpatrick stands wutchtully by in the above picture. Joseph Byrne proceeds to read something about the authors during a third year English class. Fr. Fitzpatrick will be remembered to: his sound advice to all. . . . Aeronautics . . . Ilff We Gull . . . At this very moment there is no place on the face of the earth more than sixty hours away by plane. In keeping with this forward trend toward the skies, the Aeronautics class was inaugurated under the guidance of the Rev. James A. McErlcme. It is here that future airmen begin to probe into the mysteries of the skies and to study the difficulties that planes experience above. To those students who desire to follow a career as a commercial artist or a draftsman, the course of Mechanical Drawing may prove quite helpful. Father Francis Hallman has helped many an earnest student along the road that leads to success. In the post- war era this subject should come into its own when man begins to rebuild what he is now destroying. The boys get to the bottom of things in the course Fundamentals of Machines and Electricity as offered to the students here. Father Siegfried presents this subject in line with the requirements of the War Department. The boys are really army- trained, for the outlines have been developed largely by Army curriculum specialists. The importance of the course lies in the fact that it affords a practical knowledge of a subject that is destined to help the boys off to a good start. A shocking experience! On the right we see Len Lesczynski. Ziggy Zukrewski. and Charlie Kohlmann, three hardworking Electricity and Machine students. trying to find out just what makes a battery work. . . . Design and iner . . . Below is a typical scene in any one of Father Francis Hullman's Mechanical Drawing Classes. Here Father Hallman gives Charles Sibre a little practical advice on the construction of a straight line. It is this individual instruction from Father which makes the course so interesting to the students here. . . . Radio and Physics To those unfamiliar with its mysteries, the science of Physics may seem complicated cmd boring. This is not true, for under the able tutelage of Father James York, the study of Physics explains the natural forces exerted by God which we meet in everyday life. Just as Physics plays cm important role now during war time to destroy, so it will also have C great future after the wcrr to rebuild. Above. Fr. James E. York. our physicist, points out the existence of a partial vacuum contained in the globe to a few iuniots interested in the marvelous and majestic powers of this vast universe of ours. It Radio communication were u Missing Link , mod- ern warfare would be as weak as the theory of Evolu- tion. Thus it is that here at Catholic High our curri- culum includes c1 course in Radio. Under the able di- rection of the Rev. John I. A. Murphy, mcmy radiomen-to- be were started on the road to mastery of both the theory of radio and the transmission and reception of the International Morse Code. In the not-so-tar-OH tuture. the sending of a radio message may mean the difference between life and death to this class of radio students receiving code sig- nals under the wutchtul eye of the Rev. John I. A. Murphy. . . . Chemistry . . . Hf Men and Molecules . . . Chemistry, ever important in the progress and growth of a nation. is especially emphasized by the demands for skilled chemists brought about by the present state of emergency. For this reason. Catholic High is concentrating more and more of its efforts upon Chemical training. Under the expert supervision oi Father Sieqiried, the scientifically inclined students are afforded the opportunity of discovering how interesting and enjoyable this subiect can be. The maior portion oi the course concerns itself with the fundamental studies of inorganic chemistry along with a few stolen glances into the more advanced iield oi organic chemistry. ,4 pp tmxhl 3st it Sncial Studies Background nf Eulture . . . History, Civics and National Problems are presented by this Department. The history of the past is presented to the student to en- able him to appreciate and evaluate fully the events of the present. Never in the history of our school has living history so insistently intruded itself upon the history of the past. Imagine the difficulty of the boy who is studying ancient and modern history, while next door to him the presses of the news- paper are printing the story of the invasion and defeat of Germany, the ignominious fate of Hitler and Mussolini. The task of the his- tory teacher is to weld the dead past with the living present. The National Problems class presents, on cm elementary level, problems in Sociology, economics and political science With empha- sis on our American Democracy. The course ctirns to give high school students a wo'rkinq knowledge of existing problems, the termie noloqy involved, and some understanding of Christian principles for the solution of these problems. e Civics directs the student's attention to his responsibility as a member of the community. History of the State of Pennsylvania forms c1 part of the year's work. Fr. Ostheimer realizes that the eyes as well as the ears must be used in education: so he indicates to his eager young students of American History where are located the various places 0! historical interest which have figured in the deVelopment at our country. Father Joseph Cooney. recent addition to the faculty, seems to be already at home in his task as professor of Civics. replacing Father George Daugherty. Here we see him engaged in instructing young Americans in their responsibilities and rights as American Citizens. mugeway v mzir'gm At the top we see the Rev. George Dougherty, our former social studies professor. now pro- tessor at St. Charles Seminary, pointing out the kinds ot civil courts to a class of underclassmen. On the lower lett we find a timid freshman indicating the location of Athens tor the Rev. Michael Maloney: while on the lower right Father Frederick Hickey is seen explaining to the freshmen the severe hardships of the Spartans which were nothing compared to those endured by the pro- tessors. We are told that History repeats itself. As history is being made every day it is necessary to go back to former American History in order to appreciate more fully that which is now trans- piring. Father Anthony Mechunes helps make American History live for a group 0! his students as he carefully guides them back through the years. . . . We Came, We Heard, We Eunquered . . . Since the commencement of the period of national emergency the study of languages has been somewhat retarded. We have a splendid language course at Catholic High. There is a four year course in Latin, the mother language, and two year courses in French, German, and Spanish. German is taught primarily to prepare the student to speak that language it it should happen that 'he comes in contact with German soldiers in the course of this war. The importance of Spanish cannot be overestimated. Spanish is the predominant language of Latin Amer- ica and hence its importance can be readily seen. The practical use of French today is similar to German. Those American soldiers who were fortunate enough to study French will reap its benefits today while on duty in that country. It is here that diligent study really stands out. Under the skilled counsel of Father . Kenney students of Spanish'leam the pronunciation of this beautitul modem language. Spanish is the most recent addition to the roster of languages at Catholic High. Latin. the mother tongue of modem Romance languages. occupies a de- served position of honor in the curricu- lum. Father Iohn Graham is here ex- plaining to a Freshman its beauties and culture to encourage them to master the diHiculties of this ancient tongue. On the right. we have two of our language classes in which the boys seem to be asking the questions. In the upper photo. Father McCarthy tries to explain a little lesson on the geo- graphic structure of Greece by using a map of the Mediterranean. while below. we have a shot of Fathe: Walter Laut waiting let one of his French students lo hurl the question that is oh the tip of his tongue. P.S. He did! Graduating German students will never lorqet those little playlets the Rev. Andrew P. Brown had the boys put on in his German classes. These con- versations have helped former students now in the Armed Forces to interro. gate real Germans. We know that the present graduates will find their knowledge very practical too. . . . Tnmurrnw's Business Men . . . tBelow. Lem Ioe Wills, Jimmie Carr, and Jim Carney give the calculators a workout: while in the center photo we view one of Fr. John I. Murphy's typing classes conducted in a business-like manner. These classes have started many boys on their way in the commercial world. Feet flat on the floor and fingers on the home-keys, etc. On the extreme riqht, we tind Bernie Latierty still pondering over his trial balance. And you think YOU have troubles! Meet the future bankers and brokersethe men Who will guide the financial destinies of this nation. They are quite busy at present trying to master the basic skills of the busi- ness profession, e. g., typing, shorthand cmd bookkeeping. The Rev. John I. Murphy keeps the boys busy as he clocks them in the preparation of good business letters. It is difficult trying to keep those letters well arranged, neat and errorless, working against the clock. Father Paul Maurer in- sists on the newcomers mastering the basic characters and phrasing principles in Short- hand I, in order to prepare them for dictation and intelligible transcription. The, other Father John J. Murphy endeavors to solve the language problem With a thorough course in Business English. The instruction covers the fundamentals of good English, familiarization with business terms and in- struction on how to write good business, sales and advertising letters. A course in English Literature keeps the boys in touch With the classics. Lest we forgetethere is the subject of Bookkeeping. In this course the boys are introduced to CI brand new sub- ject. They soon learn how to keep a set of books for CI business firm but not without difficulty. Many students in this department intend to follow through to the field of Ac- counting. Below. we catch a glimpse of Fr. Maurer's second-year shorthand class wiQh Ien'y Dawson, Chuck McGrath, Tom Beqley. and Jim Can- using ye olde charcoal and slate. Those seniors sitlinq in the desks aren't just testing though, are they? . . . Ilur Fellnw-Eahillites at St. Peter's Annex . . . It seems as if Charles Groves is trying to explain how we should win the war. But he is merely showing St. St. Theresa and her class of history students where the American forces first cracked the German defenses along the Rhine River. To tcxke ccxre of the surplus student body, Catholic High has found it necessary to establish St. Peter's Annex. Here tour sec- tions of Freshmen have begun their high school career. In their neat and compact building they pursue the regular first year schedule. Naturally, the Frosh miss the doings of their older brothers at the Big House, and the breaks that come with such an ideal central location, but they intend to make up for this loss in their three year stay More men in the offing and so it will be if Sister Rosemary's plan succeeds. Sister taught many of the pxesent Seniors who look back to their Annex days with keen delight and satistaction. at the main building. Small as it is the Annex has contributed no small share to the activities of Catholic High. At the games the yearlings were one hundred per cent in back of the team. Fides et Scientia, emqy they carry this niotto emblazoned on their banners during their school days and then may they go forth to become living ex- amples of the seal of Roman Catholic High School which is the spirit of firm faith and sound knowledge. Below we catch two brief glimpses of the self-sacriiicing nuns who labor daily to prepare young Cahillities for the trials of the future.

Extra curricular activities have always played an important role in the school lite of true Cahillites. This year was no exception. New heights have been reached in journalism. dramatics. student government. music, and above all Catholic Action. The boys who have given of their time and energy to attain the realization of their efforts will not go lacking in reward. They have made their contribution to the perpetuating of the Catholic High spirit. They have gained invaluable experience which will be a potent asset to them now as rhf'euts and later on when they pursue their careers in the world of tomorrow. w anwmgm . . . Music Hath Charm . . .

During this period it is possible to rehearse the numbers which prove diffi- cult during the regular bcmd practice. Every student has an opportunity to join the band. He learns how to read music, to keep time, and also to accustom himself to band discipline. The beginning band is an organization in itself. This group has the same sections and 'group rehearsals as the Senior band. The band's intricate drills and snappy marching deserved and received the plaudits of its admirers. Its spirited support of the school activities and the football team, in particular, helped to stir school spirit. What is a toothall game without the band!

The Voice of the Students . . . The Student Council is composed of representatives from among the students and elected by them to this position. Their purpose is to furnish cooperation with the School authorities in the management of the School. Below, are pictured the members of the Council. An army is only as strong as its leaders. This being the case, each section in the school elected CI representative to Student Council. The Council was most active this year in premoting the interests of the student body. The student Council met regularly to discuss matters of importance. Robert Curry, President, presided at the meetings. Frank Fry, the Secretary, handled the detail work. tBelowt Bob Curry. President at the Student Council, and other members. are seen conversing informally with Father George Concannon. Faculty Moderator. In this way a close spirit of cooperation is maintained between the students and the Administration. Members of this Council assisted in main- taining order throughout the school during school hours. They were prominent at sports activities assisting at the gate or acting as ushers. They impressed our parents the way they received and directed them to the mem- bers of the faculty. The Student Council of 1944-45 contributed c1 great deal to promote CI healthy and co- operative spirit between faculty and students. The Student Council inspires in its members a feeling of pride and responsibility. They realize more tully what the School means to them. They are representative 0! the typical Roman Catholic student. tBelowt Frank Fry, Bob Curry, Rocco Crostorosu and Ice Glancey chat. . . . Tut Whom the Bell DUES NUT Tnll' . ..

Con- gratulations to the moderators and the mem- bers of the clubs for work well done. It is students like these who make Catholic High a school of which we can all be justly proud. The Art Club has proved to be one of more prac- tical and constructive activities in the school.

To that end an extensive program of lay CIC- tivity has been put into effect throughout the world. Consequently it is the task of the Catholic High Schools to inculcate into their students the obligations and privileges in this field of Church labor. An enlightened and cooperative iaity strengthens the Church. The Catholic Who knows his Faith and lives it will win others to the fold. Meet the men behind the scene. The sucristans, We are given that training which will ene able us to carry out the wishes of the Holy See. Our own spiritual life is nourished through assistance at Holy Mass every week. It is strengthened by the annual Re- treat held every year during the first three days of Holy Week. We come to learn of the Faith in other lands through support of the Missions and assisting the Chaplains in the Armed Forces. We are proud to do our bit in the great field of Catholic Action to further the cause of Christ. We proudly announce the honor and homage we paid Kershner, Kelly and Armstrong are charged with the important task of preparing the accessories to the Sacri- fice of the Mass. Here they are seen busily engaged before Father arrives. to the King and center of all hearts.

From the Rising of the Sun . . . e As the Mass is the center of the Catholic Church, so the celebration of the Divine Sacrifice is the principal event of the school week. In this way the students are made to feel that God is very close to their school life. Once a week they assemble in the Auditorium where Holy Mass is celebrated by a member oi the faculty. The Seniors and Juniors are singularly blessed in being permitted to begin their scholastic week with Holy Mass-a tine beginning. Religion, which is the dominant note in Catholic education, is inculcated in the students in a variety of ways, by the recitation oi prayer before and alter each class, the influence of their priest-teachers. and above all by the Celebration oi Holy Mass. Kneeling before their Eucharistic Lord the students implore His Mercy on themselves. their parents, relatives and friends. ...EABEEB ANGEL... Father Brassell chose Career Angel as this year's senior play. Career Angel CI comedy in three acts by Gerald Magella Murray, was first produced on Broadway last year and. was a huge success. Cath- olic Hiqh's presentation of the play was giv- en on the nights of April 11, 12, 13, and 14 at the Little Flower Auditorium. The setting of the show is a boy's orphanage in the Mid- west conducted by cm unusual Order of Bro- thers. The founder of the Institute, Brother Seraphim, a former actor, is a kind, old gentleman with complete trust in the Provi- dence of God. Seraphim lets the material condition of the orphanage go to such an ex- tent that the Brothers are on the verge of foreclosure. At this point, Brother Seraphim's Guardian Angel appears on the scene With information which saves the Institute from Closing. In the meantime, the Angel runs rampant in the home and cleans up a nest of Nazi saboteurs, all in three acts. To Fr. Brassell and the Members of the cast, hearty congratulations are tendered for such Ct suc- cessful show, one which we shall remember c1 long time. On this and the opposite page a few scenes from Career Angel . As can be seen irom the variety of pictures, the play was one appealing to the interests of everyone fortunate enough to see it. At the very top of the opposite page we see the cast which was under the able direction of Father Frank Brassell who worked hard to produce a play worthy of Catholic High. . . . The Man in the anler Hat . . . Five minutes to curtain time! What's thisea backstage at a Broadway Theatre? No, it is not. Why, it is signal for the youth- tul actors from Catholic High to get ready for their play. It is the night of March 9th at LCI Salle Auditorium and the boys are par- ticipating in the annual Philadelphia Foren- sic League One Act Play Contest. They are competing With six other Catholic High Schools for the Catholic League Title. Watch out now! The curtains are going up on Cath- olic High's endeavor The Man with the Bowler Hat by A. A. Milne. NOW we see John tTom Noicmi greeting his spouse Marie Codori. Bang! Bang! Bang! What's this? It is a murder sure as guns tire! Sorry, it's only Joe Glancey playing with C: gun or two.

Above. the Bad Man tCharles Logant seems to be threatening the Hero Ooseph Glunceyt while Marie Codori lends her sympathy. One of the best one-act plays ever produced here at Catholic High, The Man In The Bowler Hat was under the direction of Father Francis Brussell. In the Philadelphia Forensic League One-Act Play Contest, the judges found it hard to dis- cern the winner but finally adjudged North Catholic's dramatic efiorts tops. ...THE EAVALEADE IJF SPUBTS... The end of school begins another phase at school life tor the many athletes of Catholic High. They move from the classroom to the field or to the gym- nasium to learn the game and to be tired with the fighting spirit of the Cahillites. There. they are reminded of the sport history of Catholic High. a long and eventiul story of games hard fought. some won. some last. but all played in the spirit and with the courage 01 real sportsmen. They are taught to play hard and clean to win praise not only in victory but also in detect. . . . A Successful Season- Here are our 1945 Prep-smashers!

Engaging in the first night tilt of the sea- son, Catholic High became the first upset victim of the league when they succumbed to the Pirates of South Catholic by a 6-0 score. South Catholic's Ioe Hanncm pro- duced the score when he faked a forward and then cut off tackle and ran all the WCIY to pay dirt. As 8,000 eager tans watched -We Beat the Prep!!

Catholic High, looking forward to continu- ing her winning ways, tangled with St. Iames High of Chester. The teams battled to a scoreless tie, but statistics showed that Catholic had the better of the game. Out- numbered in first downs and in all-around play, the Chesterites managed to withstand the barrage and walked off with a tie. Thanksgiving day, 1944 is a date to be emblazoned in the memory of every true Cahillite,- a day on which the unexpected took place, Catholic High defeated St. Joe's. Only seven times before have we beaten the Prep. On this never to be forgotten after- noon, history was made and a six year period of suppression broken as a hard hit- ting, swift-charging Catholic eleven rolled over St. Joe's Prep, 21-14. The Prep drew first blood on a pass from Joe Byers to Sam Swivel-hipped halfback Tom Feeney dashes around end for 56 yards against St. Joe's before being stopped on the Preppers six yard line. This run set the stage for a score, for two plays later Larry Ladher crashed over the last line. A historic Thanksgiving Day for us! Poetry in motion . . .

O'Neill added the extra point and Catholic led 14-7. In the last half Catholic continued its point getting and before St. Joseph's could muster a score, Jim O'Neil again crashed over and once again his toe rang true.

In the lower photo we see our freshmen iootball team. This year the team iinished the season with 3 wins against two losses. To make it a little more impressive. one 01 those wins was a 13-7 victory against the Prep. which makes any season a successful one. Basketeers Roman Catholic High's basketball team under its new mentor, Charlie MCGlone, gave a warning of what to expect when they came through with a decisive 37-27 victory over a stout Trenton Catholic team in a non- league game at Trenton. McGlone's pro- tegees showed how smooth they were by overcoming an early deficit and working their way to the front until they finally took control late in the third quarter. Fresh from this Victory the Cahiilites again tangled with a non-league opponent as they overpowered Northeast Public 32-26 at the latter's court. Catholic, showing great skill and maneuver- ability, completely disorganized a once tight man to man defense. The outcome was an- other victory for our team. Commencing its Catholic League campaign Roman defeated the Golden Bears of St. Thomas More by a convincing 39-28 score. The floor work of Willie Groome and Dan Gillespie, the master- tui back board control by Brooks Ricca and Bob Berry, and the prolific point producing of John Bates spelled victory for these repre- sentatives of the Purple and Gold. Catholic again taking to the road ventured to Chester where they barely slipped past the cohorts of St. Iames by a slim 31-28 margin. Although they assumed an early lead and rested on a seven point haif-time margin, Catholic had to go all out in overcoming a barrage of field goals by St. James in the final session. Next in line for the Cahiliites was North Catholic and it was here that this Purple and Gold team first tasted defeat. North Catholic over- came a ten point deficit and sent Catholic down to its first defeat by a 35-33 count. The loss of Larry Sullivan seemed to be a great blow to North. Sullivan's replacement proved to be a capable substitute as it was he who dropped the deciding points for the Oh, he floats through the air with the greatest of ease.

South Catholic, caught on the re- bound by Roman's avenging five, saw their hitherto clean slate tainted as they fell be- fore a revamped Cahillite squad, by 31-28 score, at Broad and Vine. South's towering giant, Larry Faust, was held to three field goals by Brooks Ricca and this factor proved to be South's undoing. The fruits of Victory lasted for only four days, for Catholic again was defeated as St. Joe's, led by Matt Fan- ning's terrific play, defeated the Cahillites 35-31. St. Joe's, trailing 18-17 at the half, struck back and field goals by Matt Farming and Hensler erased the halfetime deficit and sent the Preppers on their way to victory. Once again Catholic surged back from defeat and turned back a reluctant Salesianum team, 45-39. Coach Charley McGlone's players showed great scoring ability and also enough prowess to suppress the out- bursts of scoring power by the Sallies; and it is on this second count that victory was once more brought home.

This game proved to be one of the hardest fought battles of the current cam- paign, and no less than seven times was the score tied. Catholic earned a chance for victory when, with seconds remaining, Iack Burns dropped a shot to tie it at 29-29. But in the overtime period, the Burrs prevailed. Alien cries and strange sounds poured forth from Kenney gymnasium as two Catholic league foes clashed. For here playing on the Prepper's court was LaSalle running headlong into a spirited Catholic High five fresh from a bitter defeat at the hands of the Burrs. Immediately Catholic High took the initiative and were leading when the half had been spent. But play was so extremely close that the issue wasn't settled till Iohn Bates dropped two timely left handed stabs late in the last quarter. The final score; Catholic 29- LaSalle 25. Our forces made it two in a row as they met and defeated the Golden Bears for Ioe Cornely and Bob Curry lend a helping hand as big Bob Berry snares the ball game. in the Catholic-Scxlesianum the second time this season, this time 39-22. Catholic at full strength now had little trouble in disposing of the Tommies but some fine sharpushooting by Pete Gleason always proved a threat to the lead that Roman held throughout the game. Catholic journeyed to Allentown and played in spacious Rockne Hall before some 1200 fans. Although our team played well they were defeated by a smooth, swift Central Catholic team, 40-27. In a league game played on their home court, Catholic defeated St. James of Chester 36-25. In this contest the sparkling all-around play of Brooks Rieca, Catholic forward Who led the Cahillite offensive with 15 points, proved the deciding factor. Catholic Hiah's quintet showed amazing accuracy and co- ordination as they downed a representative five from North Catholic 50-41. This contest was adjudged the best exhibition of shooting ever witnessed in a high-school tilt. From the opening shot, when Iack Kane sent North Catholic out in front, until the final gun ter- minated play, the action was sizzling. The lead Changed time and again and it was not until late in the last quarter that victory was really assured. South Catholic, next toe in line, handed our team its fourth setback of the season. Because of a low ceiling, action was limited to side court stabs and close-in set shots. This hinderance plus the fact that South's rushing zone hurried our shots, re- sulted in the 'final score: South 484Catholic Bubbie Groome slips through North's defense and cages a two pointer de- spite Walt Buckley's efforts to prevent the score. Close by is Bob Berry No. 22. 37. St. Joseph's! the next hurdle to be span- ned in our quest for a play-off birth, was taken in stride in the second of three games played at Convention Hall. The game was a toss-up until Bob Berry put one in with less than a minute remaining. Willie Groome racing with the Clock scored as the time ran out. Final score: R. C. 37-St. Joe's 33. Sale- sianum, set down fourteen straight times, provided Roman Catholic with a play-oif spot when they went down to defeat 43-29 at Wilmington. With a Chance to tie West Catholic for second place, Catholic engaged the Burrs at Broad and Vine. But the going was tough and the weather stormy as our team succumbed to defeat-e43-28. The Burrs, working like a well-oiled machine, ran up a 9 point lead and this proved too much to overcome. Charlie McGlone and his forces wrote finis to a fine season as they outman- euvered a young LaSalle team at Conven- tion Hall by a 35-25 score. Winning the toss Catholic picked West for the play-off foe, but our forces found themselves unable to do What they had twice before failed to do and West knocked them out of the title, winning 45-31. South, following West's example, downed a fighting North five 34-28 and won the right to defend her title. South, led by her towering giant, Larry Faust, who scored 19 points, stayed the onslaughts of the Burrs and set them down 39-33. In the consolation game North defeated Roman 40-34.

Above we see our boy Brooks and Jim McLernan of North soaring into the air for a pass. Brooks from this Victory South took the city title out of the hands of Southern as monstrous Larry Faust tapped one in as the gun sounded and South won 37-36. Hats off to Charlie McGlone! In his first Diminutive Willie Groome slips past the North Catho- lic defenders and lays one up, as Berry and Ricca give visual aid. It was quick thinking like this that secured for us a thrilling 50-41 victory over the North Quintet. year Charlie molded together c1 magnificent team which wound up the present campaign with 11 Victories in 15 starts to earn c1 third place tie with North. Congratulations, Charlie, to you and your great team! The leap, although frustrated, might well be compared to that of a kangaroo, but it's only Big Bob Berry. our team's young center he's only a Iuniorli clutching des- perately tor a pass that had a little too much height. Above. we have this year's Varsity track team which upheld the high traditions of Catholic High. The top row: Mallee tmanagert. Valcukus, Frizzell. Rafferty, Zis- kc, Brophy. Kohn, Kennedy. Sheerin. Huhn. Glancey. and Young. The middle row: Marty Conboy tcoacht. This year's Track and Cross-Country Squads were really in the fight this year in their drive for the league championship. Again this year, we were fortunate in hav- ing Mr. Marty Conboy as head coach of both teams and Fr. George Concannon as the faculty advisor. The Cross-Country team especially was on during the fall season when they garnered quite a few trophies in meets outside the league. In competition with other high schools, impressive victories were scored over Northeast tA.A.U. scoringt, Benjamin Franklin, Olney, South Philadel- phia Public and South Catholic. North Cath- olic, the strongest squad in the city this year, defeated our stalwarts. However, the record is very impressive in the face of the fact that we had about the smallest squad in the city.

Their showing this year has shown the rest of the racing world that the '45 Catholic High Cross-Country team will be one to watch. Early in March, Father Concannon and Marty Conboy issued a call for candidates for the track team. The turnout of new meme bers was very disappointing and because we had the smallest number of lettermen ree turning this year than ever before, prospects of a good season were not very bright. We, however, had more of the best athletes in their particular field than most schools in the city. This did not promise much, though. since we could take first in every event but the opposing team would still beat us on the points he won by taking second, third, and Intu the Stretch . . . fourth places. Such was our outlook in March. Many of us were in for CI more than mild surprise. In the meets which were to come, our Catholic High barriers really made a good showing. In the field events, Eddie Kohn really put his heart in it when he tossed that discus plate and shot-put. Frank Fry, 1944 Catholic League Broad-Iump Cham- pion, again displayed the form which won him that honor, While Ripper Prendergast showed signs of another Cornelius Warmer- The Cross-Country squad, tl. to M Top row: Martin.

Along the Cinder path, Captain Bill Martin collected much needed points With his pro- lific jaunt in the quarter mile, with Eddie Home nigan and Buddy McIntyre capturing many first places in the mile and the haif-mile. The sprinters and hurdlers were not numerous or outstanding, but made up for this natural def- icit with plenty of old Catholic High spirit. Hats off to these Track and Cross-Country men who were in there fighting all the way. tLower 1910 Capt. Bill Martin and Eddie Hanniqcm practice starts under the expert eye of Coach Marty Conboy.

A word of praise is also due to Angelo Casertano and Iohn Roediq, both capable substitutes. whose loyalty and cooperation helped im- measurably in the success of the team. Finally we wish the team well in its match with the Public League Champions for the championship. May they carry the banners of Catholic High to new heights . . CitY Champions. . . . This Year Second, Next Year?????? Roman Catholic's swimmers came through With their most successful season in the school's history. The tankmen finished in CI tie for second place With a powerful La Salle team. Their record was nine wins and three losses. In the Catholic League Champion- ships held at Hutchinson Pool, the Catholic High Natqtors came through with two cham- pionships with Iohnny Dorsch leading the field in the 100 yard backstroke and Iames McGlone pacing the group of divers. When the results had been tabulated Catholic High had scored 28 points to place third in the This year's letter men were: Jim McGlone. Walt Starr. Iohn McAndrews, Iim Carney. Chuck McGrath, John Dorsch, Larry Ladner. Paul Weathers, Allan Rhodes. John Kennedy. and Bill Dorsch. The iollowinq freshman won their numerals: J. Smith, '1'. Kennedy, T. Weathers and I. Halpin. championships. The season was highlighted by star performances and startling upsets. Johnny Dorsch established a Catholic League record in the backstroke in the good time of 1.04.4. The Cahillites defeated West Catho- lic for the first time in fourteen years. They emerged victorious over St. Joseph's in both encounters, cm accomplishment not enjoyed by any other team. The boys are on the march in swimming under the able coaching of Mr. Chap Raf- ferty. The returning veterans are confident that next year will be our year in this sport. Below on the left. we see Allen Rhodes cutting a wide path through the waters of the Broadwood while on the right Iohnnie McAndrews. Walt Starr and Allen Rhodes diving into the placid pool. At the very bottom we have the 1945 swimming squad, the best so far. Above, we see our 1945 crew squad. Top row. reading from left to right are the following Candidates: Meehan, Ryan. Crostarosa.

With these commands Catholic High started its tenth straight season of rowing, since it was revived in 1936, with major rowing honors to defend. On March second a call for candidates was issued and sixtyettve students re- spondedt The day following the Ides of March the first boats were launched and our season started in earnest with a squad of twenty-six regulars. Under the capable guid- ance of Coach Vincent Deeney three crews are rapidly progressing toward the ultimate goal . . . The National Championship. The senior class is represented by seven members in this the world's gruelling sport: Charles Colgan and Stanley Rymdeko, the only varsity veterans from last year; Joseph Meehan and John Murphy are good oars- Davish.

For the second time in fourteen years our crew will defend the Stotesbury Cup. This is the most coveted cup in schoolboy row- ing circles and we are confident that the crew will give its best performance when regatta time comes. The squad is so composed that we are as- sured of two good crews next year. There are eleven juniors, and six sophomores on the squad. Of this group eight already have a year's experience. On looking back at the record we find much to be proud of, not only the fact that we have won so many races, for Win or lose our crew symbolizes the true spirit of Cath- olic High.

As the years go by after our graduation from Catholic High we will take pride in certain events oi our high school life. Paramount among these un- doubtedly will be the incidents which occurred while we were participating in some extracurricular activity. These activities may be in sports or in the literary field. They offer an opportunity tor us to assume positions of respon- sibility where individual thinking is required. We can readily see the value - this experience will be to us when we take our places as the future citizens of America. ' When we were Juniors we looked enviously at the Seniors who seemed to be getting all the breaks: but somehow we managed to stick it out. At the top Ioe Cannon, Beds McArdle and Tommy McArdle. as lowly Juniors, put their books in the racks. Here they are! Rounding the bend on the Freshman Field Day are these members of the class of '45: Hubby Groome. Ioe Cornely. Frank SteHe, Ioe Keenan, Bill Martin, and Bill Luwlor. The winner, Bubby Groome. As Sophomores our breath was taken away by the trophy case. Here on the left we see, Ioe Luecke. Bill Mashenko, Walt Bridgeiord, George O'Neill, Iohn Mc- Shea, Tom Schwemmer. Alex Schemack, and Bill Martin. Outstanding both scholasticcdly and in the field of sport, the class of '45 has endeavored to carry on the tradition of Catholic High. The majority of the class started in the two annexes then functioning, namely, St. Eliza- beth's and St. Malachy's. The present graduating class had hardly started their careers at Catholic High when the war come. The greater part of their time here has been spent under war condi- tions. This has had its effect on the class. Originally the class started with ten sections which has been reduced to four. Many have entered the service but those who remain have tried to keep alive the splendid class Above. the boys sing out their swan song at Com- mencement Exercises. This marks the end 10: the . . . In Butrnspect . . . spirit. In the field of sports the class of '45, as sophomores, had the thrill of watching our 'chctmpionship basketball team win game after game and trophy after trophy in true Merriwell fashion. And the Class of '45 has the distinction shared by only eight other graduating classes in the school's history, for it can booste WE BEAT THE PREP! Now as the Senior Class watches the United NCI- tions march to Victory over their enemies, they reflect that they too have won c1 Vic- tory over STUDY! It, too, has gone down to defeat before the talents of these CAHILL- ITES. Seniors of four happy years at Catholic Hiqh-yecu's filled with happiness and pleasant memories.

Wr I , A x Above and on the right we have tried to picture the typical Cuhillite as he tries desperately to make his evening at the Prom a gala one. Evidently this fellow succeeded it the smile on his face is an indication. This year, in spite of many difficulties brought on by the war, Catholic High held its annual Senior Prom on Friday evening, February 2nd, at the Beflevue Stratford Hotel. Approximately two hundred and fifty boys and their escorts were present to create a new record in attendance at Ct Catholic High Prom. A very pleasant evening was en- joyed by all attending. They were unani- mous in acclaiming the Prom c1 grand suc- cess. Much credit for its success must go to the Rev. James McErlctne and the Prom Committe who worked so tirelessly on its behalf. Let us hope that the Proms of the future Will be just as successful. Meet the boys when they are really dressed up in their Sunday best. It you will. just turn your eyes to the opposite page at the top. Members of this year's successful Prom Committee take time out to be photo- graphed. They are pictured with the Rev. James A. McErlune. the Moderator. Below, Cuhillites and their escorts dance to the soothing melodies of Rice Long- acker and his Havertordians. The underclassmen were permitted to attend this most delightful social attair this year. . . A Night In Remember . . . llur Immediate Successors . . . In many ways, this year's Iunior Class has been an exceptional one. It has been one of the most energetic that this school has seen in recent years. The Juniors have participated in all school efforts. Under the guidance of their Coun- selors, the Junior sections have presented many interesting, and informative assembly programs, including one debate and a forum discussion on the vital issue of the day Should We Have Peacetime Military Train- inq?

Their interest in sports has been demon- started by the number of Juniors on the ctth- letic teams. Juniors have been outstanding on the gridiron, on the basketball court and on the cinder path. The school looks forward to their emerg- ence as the Seniors of '46 with firm con- tidence. SECTION 3-2 FATHER GRAHAM LAST ROW: I. Farrell, I. Sheerin. I. Kibarlas, E. Carlin, S. Dolan. F.
