FATHER BULFIN 2 inc Leases «‘i'.Mi v; ■ ■; v' m . w v ’mm''imrrr M'jrgg DEDICATION To our beloved pastor, our highly es- teemed teacher and loyal friend, Father Bulfin, the Class of ’31 affec- tionately dedicates this first edition of “Vine Leaves” in most sincere grati- tude for the great privilege of a Cath- olic high school education, which, through his untiring efforts was made possible for the children of Vineland. 3 Foreword That which was a dream four years ago is today a reality. In the pages of “Vine Leaves” the first graduating class of the Sacred Heart High School makes its bow to the world. It was with a certain trepidation and yet with considerable confidence we ventured into the new field of Higher Catholic Educa- tion in Vineland, N. J. Our success is due to the kindly interest and deep solici- tude of the priests of the parish, to the Sisters of St. Joseph, who have always displayed sound administrative ability, wide scholarship, and untiring effort for the l est interest of the school, and to the parents who have supported us whole heartedly. We sincerely wish this little book meets with your approval and we hope that as you turn its pages you will experience a thrill of pleasure and satisfaction. JAMES A. BULFIN (Pastor) A Loyalty Fidelity to God, constancy to home, fealty to school, may l e summarized in the all-important word—LOYALTY. He who maintains his allegiance to his God ami to his home would surely l e the one to jjcrscvere in his loyalty to school; for loyalty is the backbone of school spirit and the indissoluble bond which binds classmates together. The class of ’31 is embarking on the Great Adventure, standing, full of courage and confident of success, on the very threshold of life. Although we have now come to the first crossroad, and for the first time our paths lead in dif- ferent directions, we are united in spirit by the common bond of loyalty by which we have been Ixmnd together during our happy years at Sacred Heart High. We hoj e that as men and women in our various callings, we shall find as much genuine happiness, in every-day life as we found in days spent in our dear Alma Mater. Let it be known then that LOYALTY is the watchword of the class of '31 and may all classes whose great happiness it shall l e to finish in the Sacred Heart High take as their principle “Fides Deo. domo, at Scholae.” 5 FATHER FRITZ 6 Rev. Joseph Fritz, our much loved director of athletics has been one of the most steadfast friends of our class from the very outset. Were it not for Fath- er’s enthusiasm our athletics would never have reached the high point which, we are proud to say. they have. The class of ’31 wishes to thank Father Fritz most sincerely for his gener- ous interest in our class and for the many times he has helped us when we were struggling under financial difficulties. We will never forget his great generos- ity and kindness, and we hope that when the final l� ell rings for the class of '31. the classes that replace ours will always bear in mind our Father Fritz through whose untiring efforts, physical education was made possible at Sacred Heart High. 7 Class Motto “Deo et Patria” Class Flower “Red Rose” Class Colors “Red and Blue” 8 Editorial Staff Editor-in-chief Assistant Editor-in-chief Business Manager Assistant Business Manager Advertising Manager Reporter Artist 9 Dolores A made Veronica Rafter Charles Reilly Adelene Cavagnaro Mary Kearney Helen l-angley Veronica Downey SACRED HEART HIGH SCHOOL Leones History of the Sacred Heart High School Success had marked the desired goal of the parish and its progressive pastor, Rev. James A. Bulfin. and the highest rung in the ladder of accomplish- ment was reached, when, after the erection of the beautiful new Church, our Alma Mater opened its doors to the children of High School age. W hat had seemed so far from accomplishment was now most successfully made true. When the new church was nearing completion work was begun on remod- eling the first floor of the combination building (Church and School). One room was built in the northeast corner of this floor, enabling our first class to l c housed in the High School department. Long strides were being taken and eight days after the dedication of the Church on September 2. 1927. the High School was started. With the beginning of the first high school class, on September 10, many of the usual comments were made; some praised and encouraged its beginning, others of a more pessimistic turn, doubted the success of such a project. But those who had worked for and sponsored the move, together with those whose children attended the school, were determined to help make a success of it. As a preliminary we must certainly stop for a few words concerning those chiefly interested in this great move. First and foremost, then, comes Rev. bather Bulfin, our pastor, who worked and worried so incessantly, yet successfully over this problem. To him the credit is unbounded. Were it not for him. our Catholic boys and girls of High School age would not l e blessed with the local Catholic education they are receiving. It was he who imprinted on the heart of his parishioners the necessity of the Catho- lic High School education which had, until then, been made possible for very few graduates of the Sacred Heart Grammar School. In Reverend Father Fritz the assistant priest, the parish has been Messed. I he fact that bather Fritz’s work is more obscure no reason for l elieving that he sat back and watched while others were working. Father has taken a very active and interested part in the beginning and management of our High School, especially the sports. He urged the project on, he helped it when it had been accomplished and has always been ready to render his much appreciated services. Enough cannot ! e said for the first Sisters of Saint Joseph, who, with Mother Albertine in charge, came here and lal ored so strenuously and under so many disadvantages. Success was heralded for the school and pupils when it was guided by such a learned and experienced principal as Mother Albertine. The Sisters’ wonderful work will never permit that they l e forgotten; for to them we owe progress of the school in its early stages. To Mother Davidica, new to pupils and parish, belongs the credit of start- ing the first High School Class and doing her utmost to make them learned schol- ars, good Catholics and excellent citizens. Last, but not least . many of the lay persons in our parish have been per- severing and generous in their offerings, without which the school could never have been started. And these, knowing that their help has been gratefully re- ceived and seeing the rapid progress of the still young High School, are still doing their best in all respects to make it a grand success and a pride for Vineland as well as for the Sacred Heart parish. The hazy glass through which the prospect of a Catholic High School had 11 Leases been perceived, was cleared on September 10, 1927. when the doors of Sacred Heart High School were thrown open for the first time to receive students. The nucleus, composed of 25 members, took the first step toward learning the unfor- gettable lessons of heart and mind, in a section of the prospective school, still containing pews that had been used in the church. After having been introduced to their new teacher, they started work. For a short time, with books on their knees, they continued their work, forgetting the disadvantage of their position in the unutterable joy of l eing students in their own Catholic High School and in the confident assurance that, through the combined efforts of Priests, Sisters stu- dents and parents, their Alma Mater would soon attain a high rank. The second week of school saw the pupils entering the completed High School (one room). Two weeks more and the regular school seats were installed. Each morning prayers were said, a hymn sung and the flag saluted in the Assembly Hall. Due to disadvantages which always accompany the beginning of a school, all students were required to limit their courses to a schedule including Religion. Latin, Algebra, Ancient History, American Literature, Community Civics, Eng- lish and Art. Father Bulfin taught Religion and Latin. The other subjects were taught by a member of the faculty. After the room itself was fully in order and the schedule established, Fath- er Bulfin was invited to attend the election of class officers. The following were those elected: President, Donata Cirelli; Vice presi- dent. John Moriarty; Secretary. Mary McHugh; Treasurer. Eugene Ronchetti. At a meeting of the class the name of the school was decided as Vineland Catholic High Schcxd and the monogram cVh adopted. The school colors chos- en were navy blue and scarlet. Regular monthly meetings were held and des- pite hardships, High School seemed to be very interesting. Although few were attending the High School, an orchestra was formed under the direction of Sister Cecilia Francis. The orchestra consisted of four pianists, two cornetists, two violinists, and a drummer. Several good numbers were mastered and, although Sister Cecilia Francis had to work hard, we don’t think ie regretted it, for her class was an attentive one. Sister also taught an appropriate school song. Nearing the close of the scholastic year, it was decided to have an entertain- ment in the form of a musical, which was to l e held on Friday afternoon, late in May. The Assembly Hall was made spotlessly clean, the stage v as beauti- fully decorated with palms, fenis and school colors, and everything was in read- iness for the “big day”. Wirh Rev. Father Bulfin. Father Fritz and Father Fucci as honorary guests and the Assembly Hall filled with a large audience, a pleasing program was presented. During the course of the year. Father Fritz showed an interested spirit in Athletics. He instructed the class of girls in the first rudiments of basketball, since the school could not afford a coach. In this way the girls, although not very much experienced, got a very good idea of the game. In January, they learned that a game had been scheduled for them with St. Nicholas High Team of Atlantic City. Imagine their feelings on learning that they were to play one of the strongest teams in the East. Accordingly, they went to Atlantic City. The score? It’s letter untold. The Boy’s only Athletic movement during the first year was the forming of a baseball team, although they scheduled no games. To the surprise and joy of the class, the Knights of Gdumbus announced that we were to be their guests at a banquet given in June. Preparations were me 12 made and tables were artistically arranged in the Assembly Hall. To this day. the class feels greatly indebted to the K. of C. for affording them so enjoyable an evening. When, in September 1928, the school session began, two classes comprised the High School. The Sophomores had a class of twenty of their former class- mates and one new pupil, while the Freshmen class consisted of thirty-five. Dur- ing the year, three pupils left the second year and a class 6f eighteen remained. With another sister added to the faculty, the late Sister Genoveffa, it was niade possible for the schedule to include two courses. Commercial and General. In the beginning of the term, the two classes assembled and elected School Officers. The following were elected: President, Charles Reilly; Vice President. Donata Cirelli; Treasurer, Adelene Cavagnaro. Several meetings were held during the course of the year at one of which it was decided to have Book Day”. It was understood that upon this day each student, having drawn the name of the lxx k for which he was to pay, would give it to the school. The books were ordered and on April 10. 1929, the affair took place. A pleasing program was presented, Rev. Father Bulfin being guest speaker, and Father Fritz, Father Fucci and all the Sisters being guests. As a souvenir of the first Book Day, guests and pupils were given a blue and red lxx)k shaped piece of paper containing tWe program and having a piece of blue and red riblxm attached. During the year a girls’ basketball team, of which Jeannett Fiori. was elected captain, was formed. Although few games were scheduled, their sport’s ability was improving. In March the boys formed a baseball team and made a success of their first season. At the close of the school term in June the Knights of Columbus were again our hosts at a banquet. As these two years passed, the worth of the Catholic High School and the desire to see it continue its rapid progress, spread through the parish. During the summer of 1929 an addition of gray stone (to match the Church material) was made in front of the Grammar School. It consisted of two spacious rooms on each floor, with three floors, besides an office and dinning room for the Sisters. The entrance to the school was beauti fully planned and erected with the name Sacred Heart Catholic High School over the doorway. Since the addition was not entirely completed when the third consecutive session of the High Sch x l started, classes were resumed in the okl part. An- other was added to the faculty and courses were made more complete. The High School now consisted of Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. On a Sunday in ( 'tol er, 1929, the High School was dedicated by Rigiff Reverend Bishop McMahon with very impressive ceremonies, including singing by the entire body. Proudly, on Monday morning, the various classes entered their new class- rooms. The name of the High School was then changed from Vineland Cath- olic High to Sacred Heart Catholic High School on account of the inscription in front of the school. During this year. lx th boys and girls formed basketball teams. The girls were coached by Miss Mary Modelle and the lx ys by Mr. Michael Hennessey. Many games were scheduled by l oth teams and they jx rtrayed good sportsman- ship. besides a decided improvement in their game . Jeannett Fiori was again elected captain for the girls and Edward McDonald was thus honored by his teammates. 13 Lc9. ?CQ On March 17. the High School gave a Saint Patrick’s Card Party, sponsored by the Catholic' Daughters of America ami under the capable direction of bather Fritz, athletic advisor. The party was a tremendous success and the proceeds benefited cite Athletic Association. On April 17. 1930. the second annual Book Day was held in the Assembly Hall. A program consisting of singing and speeches by three Juniors as well as an address by Father Bulfin. was presented in the presence of the faculty, visiting Sisters of Saint Joseph and the student body. By this, decided increase was made in the reading matter for our library. In September, the Juniors had elected as class officers: Charles Reilly, Pres- ident : Carlo Quairoli, Vice President; Donata Cirelli. Secretary; and Dolores Arnade. Treasurer. Regular meetings were held during the year and when, in the early «part of June, the last class meeting for the year was held, officers for the following year were elected as Senior Class Officers. They were Donata Cirelli, President; Carlo Quairoli, Vice President; Veronica Downey. Secretary; and Thomas Dellorifice, Treasurer. The Knights of Columbus again held a banquet for the High School stu- dents. continuing their much appreciated practice. In Septeml er 1930. many responded to the summons to school. The High School consisted of eighteen Seniors, eighteen Juniors, twenty-three Sophomores and thirty-six Freshmen. In order to obtain New Jersey State recognition as ;b complete High School, it was necessary to get Athletic teachers for both lx ys and girls. The school was very lucky in getting for the girls, Miss Evelyn Brooks, of Vineland, and for the boys, Mr. E. T. Rieck, of Millville. Both Miss Brooks and Mr. Rieck have made a decided change in the Sacred Heart High School Athletics. Basketball teams were formed. Kathryn Hillman ! eing Captain for the girls and Charles Reilly for the lx ys. Both teams have been a credit to the school and have added to her glory by having many victories to their honor. This has been an active and interesting school term. On February 21, 1931, the High School students sponsored a Card Party for the l enefit of the Library and Athletic funds. The auditorium in the Church basement was appropriately decorated and tine party proved a success. During this year, the library has been benefiting by contributions of books made by various people. Now nearing, the spring season of athletics, the l oys are planning to have a baseball and track team, while the girl’s schhedule includes baseball, volley ball track, hand ball and tennis. In September then when the Seniors held die first of their regular monthly meetings, die following were elected to the staff for the Year Book: Editor-in- chief, Dolores Arnade; Assistant Editor, Veronica Rafter; Business Manager, Charles Reilly. Assistant Manager. Adelene Cavagnaro; Advertising Manager. Mary Kearney; Reporter, Helen Langley; and Artist. Veronica Downey. In order to raise what is known as the “End of the Year Fund’’ for various needs at that time, a series of Card Parties have been held at the homes of the various Senior girls, until the season of Lent set in. At present, a Senior Class play is being practiced for presentation in April. Nearing the end of dieir High School days, the Seniors feel that the hard- ships they have had to undergo in being the “pioneers” of the high school have been well worth it; for are they not gratified in seeing their pastor and teachers happy to see that their work has not been in vain, while their parents are delight- ed with having the first graduating class of the Sacred Heart Catholic Hieh School?

VERONICA MARIE DOWNEY boots When we hear that inimitable cackle, we know that Boots is in the offing.

With the talent of an artist, the wit of a first rate cartoonist we have in Boots a sunny little school chum. Although her nonsense is never lacking, she always manages to have plenty of work to do (and gets it done) and can often be seen writing the minutes for the Senior Class Meeting the day be- fore the scheduled meeting.

She aims to be a pharmacist-curing nonsense. Contary to our expectations, Jackie is not the quiet maiden she appears to be at first sight. Lest we forget.

It’s doing your job the best you can, And being just to your fellow-man; It’s staying true to your aims and ends; It’s figuring haw and learning why, And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming a little and doing much; It’s being thorough, yet making speed. It’s going onward despite defeat And fighting staunchly, but keeping sweet; It’s 'being clear and it’s playing fair; And looking up at the stars above. It’s struggling on with the will to win, And it’s sharing sorrow and work and mirth It’s serving, striving through strain and stress. And doing your noblest—that’s Success. CATHERINE ERHART -------o------ THE INCOMPLETE BURGLARY Eleven thirty of a cold November night with a heavy blanket of “fog settling over the town. Up Landis Avenue slouched a lone figure. It could J e seen to approach an intersection, dimly lighted by a flickering arc-light, where dozed an arm of the law and John (Racket) Tier had never liked men of that profession. As far back as he could remember, when his parents had first come to the city to make their fortune, he had had a fear of policemen. Perhaps it was lo- calise the crowd with which he had l een associating instinctively dodged them. His thoughts ran back to his home town, he wondered now his sister was. She had been adopted by a neighl oring family when he had come to die citfr. Except for some few uncles, she was his only living relative. She was younger than he, but in spite of that could always do his hardest problems at school and always helped him out of1 his various scrajos. A cold gust of wind brought his mind suddenly back to the present. That was 10 years ago. Tonight he was on his way to any dwelling which might yield something valuable for his coffers; he was to promote himself from a common pick-i ocket to the more refined posi- tion of burglar. Nervously he pulled his coat collar up for further protection. As he came to 11th St. where there is no longer pavement and the houses scattered, he started to look for a good house to work upon. He passed al out ten lighted mansions, but finally came to a darkened one. Cautiously he walked around to the back and to his surprise found a rear window unlocked. Quietly he raised it and climbed in. His flashlight showed him to l e in the kitchen. With continued caution he flashed the light around and finally worked his way into the parlor. In one corner was a man busy at a desk lighted by a small electric lamp. Surprised, John quickly extinguished his flash and jumped l ack. He took the man to l e a young lawyer about his own age. Making sure no one else was around, he walked into the room, and, in as hard a voice as he could master, said, “put ’em up, Bud’’. Immediately the young man complied. “Now,” ordered Racket, “dish out the valuables”. Slowly the young man 27 lowered his hand and took ten dollars from his wallet. “Now show me something interesting.” The lawyer reluctantly led the way to the dining room and was just al out to open the silver drawer when the front door l ell rairg. Racket didn’t know what to do. His first impulse was to run. A had break on his first job! At last he recovered his self-control. “That’s-that’s my wife coming home from the theater.” said the victim in a low tone. Well, listen. l egan Tier, “you open this drawer; then let her in. and l oth ofl you keep out of here for five minutes. I’ll l e watching; so l e careful or wife will l e a widow”. The last was added to throw off any suspicion of his nervous- ness. The lawyer started for the door and Racket peeped in through the curtain to see that his instructions were carried out. 'Hie man opened the door and let in a woman who aj j eared younger than himself. “Oh. Jim”, she liegan. “You should have come along to the show; it was so sad, everyone died in the end”. Then in a peevish tone. “ You work too hard anyhow, jim”. Jim was inwardly nervous,: but he knew that the burglar was watching him every moment, and one false step might be his last. In as natural a voice as he was able to command, he said, “Well, I’m glad you liked the show, Bess, but I really had to finish this brief, tonight”. Bess hung her wraps in; the hall and started for the kitchen. Just a minute, Bess”, said Jim. taking her. by the hand and pulling her into the parlor, “I want to ask your advice on an important point, here”. Well, it must l e in |x)rtant to’make you so nervous”, said Bess, beginning to notice his actions. Jim kept her in the parlor for a good five minutes, asking for unneeded ad - vice. “Well. I hoj e my advice will help you”, exclaimed Bess, finally. “And now for a bite to eat”. “Wait. I’ve a surprise for you, Bess. I’ll bring it in.” Jim did not want his wife exjx� sed to any danger. In fact he was very careful himself in walking into the dining room. The drawer was closed. “Quite a considerate burglar.” thought Jim, but when he opened the drawer, he found that the burglar was more than considerate. The silver was not even disturbed, and in the prongs of one of the forks was his ten dollar note. He wondered if he had fallen asleep at ‘his work and had lx en dreaming. The ten dollar bill in the fork proclaimed the adventure to lx? real. I guess the surprise is on me, he said as he returned to the parlor. There he told Bess the whole mysterious story. She was equally amazed and together they searched the house, but found no trace of the visitor; nor could the police help them. 'Hie mystery was never cleared to the public, until John Tier, President of the Tier Drop Company. Inc., manufacturers of cough drops, ca’led at the home of his sister on Landis Avenue, five years later, and explained why a certain burglary had not been completed on a Noveml er night five years Iwfore. and incidentally that the burglar had never continued his occupation, two people congratulated an ex-housebreaker on his success. K. HILLMAN M. KEARNEY 28 BRETON SONG Oh the kingdom by the sea Is the place for you and me Where the ocean rolls great breakers on the shore— Where the sun shines bright all day And the graceful sea-gulls playv And the tide keeps rolling, rolling ever more. And when the sun is low And the golden lamp lights glow And the ! eacon streams its light upon the sea Along the shore I roam , Till the fishing fleet sails home Bringing home the long day’s toil for you and me. But when the sea is high And the waves dash to the sky And we sit about our fireplace cheer and bright Ah. then our hearts are sad And our thoughts turn to the lad Who is fighting the mad sea this awful night. But when the new day breaks And the moon her slumlier takes And the sea is calm as was her wont before Just a blackened spar drifts home As along the shore we roam With heads bent, the fleet will sail the sea no more.

DOWNEY, '31 29 THE PERFECT DAY I f in ending your tasks for the day, you recall That your work has been done for the welfare of all, Your manner, befitting, has given one gladness Giving joy in the thought that it turned away sadness; If in thinking again of the path you have trod, Come the thoughts of the times you have turned to your God For thanksgiving, for aid, or to Him to give praise, And your heart at each time heavenward loved to raise; If you call to your mind no words said to regret. And that fame for yourself you didn't aim to beget, You’ve endeavored your utmost to use self-control, And so. keeping your traits within reach of your goal; Then remember it . well and so heed what I say, “In your life, there will l e more than One Perfect Day” DONATA M. CIRELLI ------o------ “AND FOR MY VESTURE THEY CAST LOTS” The sun hid its face behind a great black cloud; the earth trembled with a mighty quake; birds sought their nests and total darkness shrouded Calvary on that eventful Good Friday. At the very feet of the dying Savior, the impious soldiers were dividing the garments of the poor crimnals they had so cruelly executed. Reuben, one of the guards, on seeing that the coat of Our Lord had lx:en woven without a single seam, suggested that it would not do to cut and divide it, but it would l e better to cast lots and so determine the owner of the valuable garment. “And so they cast lots”. Each soldier was rigid with anticipation until the gamble was over; and it fell to Reuben, who proudly picked up his prize and started homeward in eager anticipation of what his wife and little daughter would say. His little Rel ecca, jxxjr little thing she had l een blind from her birth ; but with her sweet disposition, her cheerful word and her sunny smile nothing dark ever seemed to enter into her innocent life. Reuben had not l een home'for over five days. He had ! een so busy with the execution of The Great Crimnal that he had not even gone home to rest, and so when he opened the door and with a cryiof joy caught sight of his wife’s face, it was no wonder that he was happy. His wife glanced at him and in a serious tone said, “Where hast thou l een. Reul en? Why hast thou left thy daughter and thy wife to worry alxmt thee?” Then she crossed the room and laying her hand on his shoulder looked up into his hard face and l egan, “Ami oh, my hus- band, thou art the last to know the joy that filleth this household”! Reulxm look- ed down at' her in astonishment; the sacred cloak which he had thrown carelessly over his arm, he put down. “What, wife, what has happened. Rebecca? Can it be—”“Yes, thou sayest it. our little daughter sees. She sees the birds and flowers, the sun. moon and stars, she sees the people in the streets, and she can see and look into thy eyes. ReulxMi. thy little one can know her father. Butt how- when-why?” Just then Reulxm’s speech was broken by a musical voice which sang in doorway. “Is he here? Is my fatter here? My sweet father whom I have loved so long and never seen; where is he that I may tell him of the One 30 who was here on the Sabbath; the one with the beautiful cloak with not a single seam ; the one who gave me my eyes. Oh, where is he that I may tell, him?” “Here I am, my little Re! ecca!” He held out his arms to her but she did not heed him. Instead she ran toward the table where the sacred cloak lay. It was soiled and spotted with blood that had dripped from the Sacred Feet at the foot of the cross. She looked at it; she picked it up and cried. “Oh, the beauti- ful cloak; the cloak without a single seam, what has happened to Him? Why did these ugly marks come to lie on it? It was the first thing I saw when He lifted His hand fron my eyes. Oh. Father, where is He, what have they dbne to him?” Reul)en looked at his wife, then to the eyes of Rel ecca, blind again, but now with tears. “He, not He, oh God, what have I done?” Reuben ran across the room, fell on his knees tat the foot of his daughter, seized the cloak and kissed it again and again. “He was the Messiah! He was the Son of God! Oh, what have I done?” Then Rebecca looked at him, and tenderly placed her soft white hand on his silver hair, “He is forgiving. Father. He is kind. He will forgive.” And He did ; for fifty days later Reuben was among the first of the multi- tude that Peter baptized. D.

ALOYSIA, SISTER MARIE EMILY, MISS EVELYN BROOKS, MR. E. T. RIECK. The Class of '31 wishes to express the most sincere thanks for the tireless teaching, the encouraging interest and the inoral courage which the Faculty has endeavored to instill into the hearts of the Class. It is with the greatest sorrow that we leave your classrooms, but we do not say farewell. We hope that many times we will gather once more in the places we have learned to love so well, and we shall always cherish the memories of our lessons, learned in the classrooms of our Alma Mater. But never shall we forget for a minute the advice and genuine religious training with which you have enriched our lives. 35 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical Education is that phase of education which aims to provide an opportunity for the individual or group to act in situations that are physically wholesome, mentally stimulating and socially sound. Our physical education program is made up of four major types of work; the practice of formal exercise commonly known as calisthenics; the practice of sports such as basketball, baseball, volley ball and track, and other sports requir- ing a lower degree of organization such as group games, relay races and contests. These are commonly known as mass athletics and play a large part in our program. The calisthenics part of our work takes care of posture and tends to develop strong straight bodies. Our mass athletic program is carried on every day in class. Squads are organized and games, relays and comhatative contests play an important part in each lesson. Mass physical recreational activities find more universal usage perhaps than any other type of activity. We find this sort of work in use on the playground and in the gymnasium everywhere. This year our program has been carried on by the “Point System”. Points are awarded each group on the basis of ability. This system has stimulated a keen competitive force and we girls have learned to put all we have in every game. Needless to say through this system our motto has been “Fair Play”. Our schedule is divided into three seasons and team games for each season are selected. Basketball, the most popular sport in our school covers our winter program. Three forms of athletic competition have l een chosen for this spring. These are track, baseball and volley ball. In order that our parents and friends might learn the kind of work we are doing, a demonstration in physical education was given Monday evening February ninth, to l e followed by another during the latter part of May. This program consisted of all phases of activity including marching, calisthentics and games. Although it is impossible to givd you a detailed account of our physical edu- cation program, it is hoped that you will feel better acquainted with the term “Physical Education”. 36 CATHERINE ERHART MARIAN VAN HOOK Basketball As the season sadly closes for most of our first string men we can see that although every game not a victory, our team made a good showing by defeat- ing Clayton, Pennsgrove, Salem, Tuckerton, Gloucester, Camden Vocational and Wenonah. One of the biggest upsets by S. H. H. S. was the holding of Immaculate Conception of Trenton to four field goals, the lowest in eight years. , The most thrilling game of the season was the battle with Camden Vocational which ended with Sacred Heart on the long end of a 27-26 score. Although Camden led at the half, 16-9. the spirit of our boys gradually overcame that of their opponents which in the end switched the game in our favor. Captain “One-Shot” Reilly, our husky forward certainly deserved the honor conferred upon him because he surely tried his l est to lead his teammates to victory and best of all he set them an example by scoring a good many points himself. We are still wondering whether it was Reilly’s spirit or his feet that made him a good basketball player. No matter which, Reilly surely was good. “Wild Bill” Pearsall, Sacred Heart’s sure-shooting guard, was the big shot of the team. His wonderful scoring ability won him the title of high-scorer for the year. Bill could guard as well as he could shoot, which made him a valuable asset to our team. Ramsey” McDonald our lanky center was continally on the go. (Upward). 37 Lc9. ?GQ He had a few freak shots up his sleeve which he always pulled off in the game. One of his specials was the Ginging Grapevine”. Ask Ramsey how its done. (If he knows). He also had another which we dubbed the “Jackknife”. “Al” Scarani our other guard gave our opponents an irrtpression of “Tarzan” which helped a lot in breaking down their attack. When an over zealous player came rushing down the court and saw “Al” in front of him. he lost interest in the game and handed the ball to “Al”. We elected “Al” as next year’s captain. We expect great things from you “Al”! “Qiick” Quairoli our rather diminutive forward seemed to l e the Hash of the team, he was always running around the court, and if he didn’t have the ball he got in front of the one that had and either made him drop it or took it from him. Giick could score too. And how! Can we ever forget the one-handed shot Chick made that won the game with Gloucester. Louis Fabbri, one of our forwards, gave the team a hard jolt when it was announced that he could not continue in his support of the team. Lou usually scored in sports and just when needed which was a great help to the team. You have our sympathy Lou and also our best wishes. Although it was Joe Foley’s first year in the sport of the court he has the makings of a wonderful guard. His ability to take the ball from his opponents was quite amazing. And Joe certainly has a taking way. Good luck in years to come. Joe! The games were as follows: Clayton 12 29 Holy Spirit 40 7 Tuckerton 21 17 Salem 34 17 Cathedral 31 20 Camden Catholic 57 8 I ’ennsgrove 19 29 Gloucester 20 22 Salem 16 18 Camden Catholic 34 16 Camden Vocational 23 8 Im.

Conception 38 16 St. Mary’s 35 23 Holy Spirit 17 12 Wenonah 16 30 Cathedral 34 17 edward McDonald CARLO QUAIROLI 38 Girls’ Basketball This year marks a great event in growing history of Sacred Heart—our debut into the field of sports. The curtain rose with the determined Red and Blue scoring their first vic- tory. and as the play goes on our team proves its metal bv conquering in the clash- es with Millville, Tuckcrton, Gloucester Catholic. Pennsgrove and Y. W. C. A. And then in the wake of our thrilling success, the viIlians enter into the plot in the form of St. Nicholas, Holy Spirit and Vineland High. Still these defeats have not daunted our team in our grim determination to come through for dear old Sacred Heart. We owe our waking success to the talented and untiring coaching of Miss Evelyn Brooks, who simply coached herself into all our hearts. Kay Hillman, our spirited captain and capable forward led these teammates into the field of combat: Evelyn Kessler, forward; Regina Jost. center; Helen Langley, side center; Jeannett Fiori. guard ; and Frances Jost, guard. Our prom- ising substitutes are: Julia Langley, forward; Jenny Sparangna. forward; Cor- rine DTppolito, guard; Rosalie Gregory, guard; Mary Goflfredi, side center. And now as the curtain falls we are deeply touched by the hearty a| plause and in the distance there rings out a lusty cheer of encouragement for the many years to come. JEANNETT FIORI 39 Boys' Baseball We cannot say much alxmt baseball as this lx ok goes to print l efore the season opens. But with our “Million Dollar” infield and our future “Yankee” batten- (“Farmer” and Bruce) we should come out on top. Our schedule in- cludes the same schools as in basketball which means we have one tough assign- ment ahead of us. We wish the team all the luck and success in the world and are behind them win, lose or draw. 40 Spring Athletics With the coining of Spring, baseball takes its place among girls athletics. Although practically new to every girl the sjx rt has become very popular in S. H. H. S. Two groups have been organized. Red Stars and Blue Stars with Alice Luisi as captain for the Reds and Julia Langley the captain for the Blues. From these two groups two teams will l e chosen to play opposite each other. Games will be played once a week in the gym with a tournament to follow which will com- plete the season. A chart containing each girl’s record has been arranged and placed in the office. Gold stars after each girl’s name signifies the number of practices and games she attends. Class numerals are to he awarded to three girls receiving the most stars. 41 42 JUNIORS Freshmarf Year. Three years ago, the present class entered Sacred Heart High School as trembling Freshmen. We did not tremble long however. Nothing exciting happened until Book Day. held the following April. It was called a “Book Par- ty”, we had the books, but we are still looking for the party. In June, the annual banquet was held. This gave us. the girls, an excuse for a new dress. Sophomore Year In September 1929, we emerged from the state of “Acorns” and assumed the status of “Haughty Sophomores”. In October, the new high school was formally opened. Just before the Christmas holidays, we showed our histronic ability bv'.pro- ducing “King Quarrel and the Beggar”. Then came a well-earned vacation and release from the grinding routine of school work. A card party was held on St. Patrick’s Day, which was a great success, socially, at least. in April we had another Book (not party this time) Day. Our first literary efforts were produced for the world’s admiration in May. We called this gigantic undertaking “L’Echo du Sacre Coeur”. In the middle of June came vacation; exit Sophomores! Junior Year When school re-opened in September 1930, we faced a strenuous year, but we did not know then just how strenuous it was to l e. Early in the year, a coach was procured for the boys and one for the girls, and the year’s program of sports brought enjoyment to all, and a few square feet of bruises to some. In February a card party for the benefit of the High School Athletic Fund was held. Great success! As the year lx ook goes to press, we are patting ourselves on the lxick on the little card party that we held, all by ourselves, to defray our part of the expenses of the before mentioned year book. If a tired-sleepy feeling the next day is in- dicative of a good time had the night l efore, then we had a very good time. The officers are as follows: President. Francis Guicheteau; Vice President, Margaret DiCurcio; Secretary. Louis Fabbri; and Treasurer. Regina. Jost. 43 THE SOPHOMORES ' SOPHOMORES W'liat an ordeal! We must write a class history and we haven't the slightest idea what to write and how to model it. It isn’t as i we didn’t have a history. We certainly have one, hut how to tell it ? Will you help us? You see. we are the Sophomores of Sacred Heart. What! You haven’t heard about them? Oh, well, we are accustomed to that by now. Through this whole year we have seen nothing, but Juniors here. Seniors there, and FreshJmen everywhere, while we were always regarded with that,“They're there feeling.” Perhaps, though, other Sophomore classes have gone by more unoticed than wo l ecause, after such a year of fun and freshness (Freshmen year, of course) we decidedly could not stand it and tried to make a name for ourselves. We were quite fortunate in sports, the girls winning the basketball inter- class championship and boys being runners-up. We can boast varsity members. The other years of our education were common place enough. More than half of us started school in Sacred Heart Grammar School and consequently, will be the first class to graduate from S. H. H. S. who oan boast a thorough Sacred Heart Education. Speaking of graduation, will it not l e wonderful two years from now? 1933! It seemed but t x near. Only one year has passe I since our entrance into high school, yet last year it seemed so far. But, really, we don t think we gave it great thought. We were so lively and so important that we could never think of Sacred Heart without us. Wc will not go into detail alxmt this class l ecause we are sure that you all know what usually happens to Freshmen! We are now struggling with French, Latin Shorthand. Literature, English, Biology and Geometry. It is quite a lot. don’t you think? So please give us your sympathy. Sometimes we stop and look into the future, (no, please don’t misunder- stand. we could never do this during classes) and there l ehold among our number some gentle nuns and zealous priests, a doctor or two, a learned scientist, more than one prominent in the field of sports, some French and Latin teachers, and at least one young lady bringing fame to Sacred Heart High through jxaints. Did we hear a yawn? Gracious; we must stop. But, please, l efore you leave, will you give us an idea? Surely, you can help us now after hearing all this. But what is this? Shorthand pupils, please come and translate! It can’t be that you, kind listeners, have taken our dictation. But, yes. “We are Sophomores of Sacred Heart-----------” 45 THk FKESHMkN FRESHMAN Early in September 1930 the ’34 class started out on a four year’s journey. The jolly three dozen who composed it were under the care of Sister Aloysia. The early days of the journey were s| ent in getting acquainted, in strength- ening old friendships and forming new ones, and in trying to accustom themselves to the new surroundings, new teachers and subjects. More fortunate than pre- vious Freshman classes, the Gass of 1934 prepared themselves for the year’s work by making a fervent opening Retreat, under the inspiring direction of Father Knechf, C. S. S. R. Then, full of good resolutions and resolving not to l e deterred by the gibes of the upper classes our “Youngsters” set bravely to work in earnest. In October, however, came the rude awakening. Mysteriously worded in- vitations summoned the Freshmen to the Assembly Room one night, and there, almndoned to the tender mercies of the Seniors, they were speedily, and thorough- ly, put in their place. Good sportsmanship triumphed, nevertheless, and the evening’s fun was shared by initiated and initiators alike. The Freshman Gass soon demonstrated their school spirit. Two class parties were most enthusiastically attended, increasing class spirit and class treasury. Qiristmas was celebrated in a fitting manner by an earnest performance of “The Shepherd of Bethlehem , staring Mary Vincent. Margaret Pugsley and Virginia Gillespie. More favored than their predecessors in having, from Hie beginning, skilled and sympathetic directors, the Freshmen entered whole-heartedly into athletic competition. A large number of candidates found places on ! oth first and second teams, and the girls had the supreme joy of conquering the Juniors, even though defeated for the championship by their neighbors and rivals, the Sophs. The boys were less successful, but showed an excellent sportsmanship thnt leads usi to hope the teams of next season will find more than one erstwhile ’31 Freshman numbered among tins varsity. At present the spring sports, baseball, volley ball and track, are absorbing their attention, and are also meeting with the same en- thusiastic response. The following are class officers: President, Virginia Gillespie; Vice Pres- ident, Edward Giordano; Secretary, Eugene Kessler; Treasurer, Mary Vincent. 47 Orchestra Sacred Heart High has been able to boast art orchestra from the very begin- ning. Under the leadership of Sister Cecilia Francis, our talented instructress of music, our orchestra was organized and consisted of first and second violin, first and second cornet, drums and piano. That was in 1928. This year finds our orchestra considerably larger. We have as members : First Violin— Frances Brown Cecilia Cresci Rita Rafter Second Violin— John Cirelli Corinne D’Ippolito First Cornet— William Pearsall Second Cornet— Charles Reilly Drums— Thomas Dell’Orifice Edward Giordano Berault Arnade Banjo— John McClain Piano— Donata Cirelli Dolores Arnade We are looking forward to carrying our orchestra to a very high degree, and to enrich the lives of S. H. H. S. students with a love for good music. The members of the orchestra wish to express their most sincere apprecia- tion for the time and effort that Sister Cecilia Francis has always so cheerfully devoted to our orchestra. 48 Every month it is customary at Sacred Heart High to publish in our Parish Monthly Calendar, a list of names of the students whose scholastic records show a general average of 90 or over. We are proud to say that the following students have had their names on the honor roll for five or more months: J uniors— Mary Catto Elvira Cirelli Regina Jost Louis Fabbri Freshmen— Mary Vincent Grace Camarda Virginia Gillespie John McClain 49 . Seniors— Donata Cirelli Adelene Cavagnaro Charles Reilly Dolores A made Sophomores— Anna Ratti Frances Jost Frances Brown Mary Montegelfe Joseph Reilly “MEET UNCLE SALLY” On April 27, after a month of long hard work, our class presented the first Senior play in the Sacred Heart Auditorium. This play was undoubtedly one of great success and it is due in great part to the unceasing efforts of Mrs. Kessler, our dircctoress, who worked in an un- tiring spirit to make it what it was. The audience was appreciative of the actors, and the play rang out its suc- cess with laughter and applause. The cast proved the results of hard work, ami thorough training.

During the evening alwut 35 tables were in play, the players moving eager- ly, and hopeful of winning one of the beautiful 35 prizes which were awarded. The lucky winner of the Door Prize was Mrs. John Brown. The hall had l een beautifully decorated with streamers and festoons of red and blue, the Senior Class colors. Refreshments were served by the High School girls, wearing dainty red and blue aprons, giving a colorful aspect. The party was a- success due to the untiring spirit of Rev. James A. Bulfin and Rev. Joseph Fritz and also to our faithful parents and friends. ------o----- PLALLOWE’EN PARTY The Second Annual Hallowe’en and Initiation Party of the Freshman Class of Sacred Heart High School was held on Friday, October 24, 1930, jointly in the School Assembly Room and School Cafeteria.
