In the pages of “Vine Leaves” you will find an account of the various activities of this class—religious, scholastic, ath- letic and social. The class has every reason to feel justly proud of its accomplishments. The kind reader, we are sure, will And real pleasure in the perusal of its pages. 8 EDITORIAL The Senior Class of nineteen hundred and thirty-three is proud to acknowledge that it is the first class to acquiie a complete Catholic educa- tion in Vineland. Twe.ve years ago, through the enterprise of Rev. Father Buifin. we were enabled to enter the poitals of Sacred Heart Parochial School. Today, we anxiously await that never-to-be-forgotten day when we shall have completed our Catholic High School education. Mere words cannot express our gratitude for the untiring efforts shown by our esteemed pastor who, ly his keen foresight, has successfully pro- vided the youth of Vineland with a means of acquiring a Catholic educa- tion. It is our fond wish that we may be able to live up to the standards established within the Leloved classiocms of Sacred Heart Catholic High. —JOSEPH REILLY 9 10 CLASS SONG To the Melody of “O Lord. I am not worthy.” O Sacred Heart Catholic High School To you we will be true; And we’ll hail your dear old colors. The Red and the Blue. And. when we’ve passed your portals, We will think of you each day. We will love our Alma Mater, For always, for aye! And now. dear Sacred Heart High, We have to say—goodbye; We will stand true to thee, Your class of thirty-three. —EDWARD BERAULT ARNADE 11 100H3S ano z PLEASANT RETROSPECTS It seems but a few years ago that we started our career of seeking knowledge in the baby grade” of Sacred Heart School. Step by step, we progressed in our studies. Little by little, we acquired what then appeared to be a vast store of learning. It was not until we became acquainted with the fundamentals of an education in the wearisome classes of grammar grades, that we realized, and still realize, how little we really do know of the book of life. Our grammar school history is rather uneventful, containing incidents more or less common to all such histories. Yes, I believe we were quite a normal class in this respect. During all these years of struggling with dif- ficult lessons, and sometimes of exasperating our teachers, we were un- consciously paving the way for a higher education. This brings us to the journey through high school. It was a rainy day in September, yet not cold nor cloudy, as this would suggest, for occasionally the sun shone forth to warm and encourage the young hopefuls applying as Freshmen of Sacred Heart High. Thus, were we initiated into our Alma Mater. We were model Freshmen—, model, that is, if you consider the mean- ing of Freshmen.” If playing pranks during class hours, openly defying the petitions of our teachers to be quiet, refusing to prepare our lessons whenever we felt like it. infesting the entries at noon hour, or enacting our motto. The noisier the merrier, would imply that we were a bit too fresh for Freshmen, then I’m afraid we were that. Nevertheless we were soon to experience the veracity of the proverb, “He who laughs last laughs best.” Shortly after the Christmas holidays the kind and all-too-gentle Sister Mary Henry was transferred. An apparently inhuman and extremely cruel sister was substituted. And did we “chalk the line?”—Those were miser- able days. So much so. that half the class had decided to quit school en- tirely. But something happened. Virtue cannot be hidden for long. Not only were we transformed, but the very atmosphere itself underwent a complete change. Our teacher threw off the fiendish mask of coercion and became the considerate and loving Sr. Aloysia that she is by Nature. That was the beginning of a new era of achievement. With such an inter- ested teacher to guide us, we followed her suggestions of publishing a Class Book which we called “San Cuore”—the first, and as yet the only Class Book to be published by a Freshman Class in S. H. H. S. Nor did we shirk our duty in any passing activity. On the day assigned for the Book Party, each and every Freshman contributed a book to our then incomplete li- brary. Not even when the time drew near for our daily talks in the Assem- bly. did we Freshmen falter in our determination. With the able guidance of Sr. Aloysia, we delivered a series of talks on various World Prizes and 13 Lc9 ?C ? were highly recommended for it. Alas! this semester passed all too quickly. An evening in June found the entire student body banqueting at the ex- pense and kindness of the Knights of Columbus. We opened our Sophomore year under the special tutelage of Sr. Marie Emily. A few weeks later we were excited and very much pleased to hear that two athletic coaches had been secured, one for the girls and one for the boys. It was but a short time before two of the finest basketball teams in this vicinity represented our school on the court. (Yes, and we boasted varsity members on both teams.) But interscholastic games were not the only attraction. Interclass basketball was received, with even more en- thusiasm. if possible. We Sopha, especially, enjoyed the thrills of this new sport. Perhaps that accounts for our winning the Girl’s Interclass Cham- pionship that year—an honor we succeeded in keeping up to and including the present day as Seniors. Then too, quite a while before the closing of the school term, we had to plan, practice, and prepare for our first Gradua- tion Exercises. On learning that it was to be held in the Grand Theatre and that we were to assist at it, we certainly feit important. And why not? You don’t get a chance like that very often. Anyhow, everything went according to schedule and we Sophomores felt we did our share by our very presence, howsoever unimportant you might have deemed it. Another event that marked the second year, was the adoption of our present School Song in preference to the old one of three stanzas. As in the previous year, we were again guests of the Knights of Columbus at the Annual Banquet in June. Our Junior year found us a bit more serious-minded than in the pre- ceding ones. Not a great deal, of course, but just enough to prepare us for the responsibilities that would soon be ours as Seniors. First, let us mention one thing. We were sorry to lose, and at the same time envied, a class-mate of ten years. Rita Blum had answered the call to her vocation. and joined the convent at Chestnut Hill. Now to go on-----------. Again we were victorious in interclass basketball. The girls again won the cham- pionship this year; and incidentally received a silver cup with the names of the team members engraved thereon. Besides this, our class boasted of being the best-represented on either of the Varsity Squads. Our first big social affair was a grand success, due mostly to the businesslike manage- ment and originality of our home-room teacher. Sister Lilian. The affair referred to was the first Junior Prom, which has since been established as an annual affair. A few months later found us being addressed as Seniors. This recalled the times when we, as children in lower grades, looked up to anyone bearing that title, but now for the life of us we cannot imagine ourselves as being dignified and admired. As the weeks progressed we acquired a wider knowledge of the world at large. Such topics as political movements, society and its functions, and government legislations were forever under discussion in our Democracy and Economics classes. They built, as it were, a foundation on which all our undertakings were based. In our first class meeting we elected officers and roughly outlined the activities of the year. 14 In order to secure finances for our Year Book and our prospective trip to Washington, we started by giving several house parties. These proved to be both entertaining and profitable. In the early part of December we held a Card Party in the Church auditorium, and later on, a Spaghetti Supper. Both of these doings required a deal of preparation, but the ends justified the means, for the income was received with outstretched arms. By this time, athletics had gained a strong foothold in our school. The basketball teams enjoyed the most successful season they ever had, thus bringing pride and honor to Sacred Heart. We. especially, were interested in sports and again captured honors in the interclass tournament. For the first time in the history of the school, both cups reposed in the Senior Class or rather, the library. Connected with athletics were also social affairs. Two sport dances during the course of the season were exceptionally well attended; thus affording not only enjoyment, but financial backing as well. The next outstanding event in this history was the production of our Senior play, “After You I’m Next,” a comedy in three acts. After weeks of earnest rehearsals, we were ready for the big night. It was, we can happily say, a grand success.------and a heavy load off our minds. There is still one re- sponsibility resting on us as Seniors, the publication of a credible Year Book. Time, energy, and perseverance must of a necessity be stored in its pages. Many years hence will find us perusing its contents, silently enjoy- ing the memories it incites. And now the school year is drawing to its close. Our Alma Mater has nursed us frcm childhood, reared us under her protecting wing, and in a few days will release us from her folds. May we. as the first graduating class to acquire a complete education at Sacred Heart, always reflect honor and glory on her. FRANCES JOST 15 EDWARD BERAULT ARNADE E. B. A humorous person, who likes to act. Amusing and witty, that’s a tact. Berault is a great source of entertainment both in and out of school not only for his eit. but also for his versatility as a musician. Bles- sed or cursed with curiosity, his naive ques- tions often break up an otherwise serious ses- sion of learning. We fear that some day he will blow up the school with some of the weird concoctions he mixes up in Chemistry lab. He has been a steady commuter to Baltimore, evi- dently there are attractions there which do no exist at Sacred Heart. Hobby—“Red-eyeing.” Fet Saying— Aw. what did I do now? Ambition—To live in Baltimore. Activities—Class Vice President. '30: Class President. ‘31. '32; Orchestra. '30. 31. '32. 33: Ass’t Mgr. Baseball. 31; Mgr. Baseball. '32; Mgr.

Mady has been with us since the second grade, but it was only this year that we were able to get a glimpse of her true self. She is not the quiet little girl you would expect her to be- Mady seems to be a bit undecided as to her future after she leaves Sacred Heart, but since we have noticed her several times this year waiting anxiously for the ball which would usher her into Chemistry class, we suggest a scientific course. We fear that Mother displays charms during this period which are not evi- dent during English or Economics. But perhaps it isn't Mother! Hobby—Giggling. Fet Sayings— Scramez-vous. Ambition—To be a sailor’s wife. Activities—Varsity Squad. 33; Intcrc’.ass basketball, O. 31. 32. '33; Track. 31; Base- ball.

I bain tank I go home.” No one has ever heard Francoise quoting that phrase, but she has been accused time and again of imperson- ating the young lady who first made it famous. If you saw the stately Mrs. Delmon in After You. I’m Next. you will agree with us that the resemb’ance is not only in appearance, but also in talent. Francoise's quiet dignity is one of her great assets and has served her faithfully in hiding that paradoxical twinkle in her eye which pop, up at perhaps too disastrous times. Hobby—Eulogizing New York. Pet Saying— You'll get over it!” Amb'tion—Private Secretary. Activities—Varsity Squad. 33; Interclass. 31. ■3° '33; Dramatics. 30. 33; Junior Prom Com- mittee. 32. JAMES JOSEPH CATTO JINKS Thl six toot chmp Is fond of ease. We suppose It's Just a Scotch disease. Jimmy is famous for his marks in Spelling. The reason for this is that he has acquired such penmanship that no one can tell whether the word is spelled right or wrong. He is a great addict to fishing and sometimes even goes so far as to miss a Vergil period to indulge in the said sport. He has been a great asset to the basketball team, in fact, so great that he will hardly be replaced next year. His good nature and good sportsmanship have won for him a host of life long friends. Hobby—Fishing during Latin period. Pet Saying— Watch that stuff. Ambition—To be a “big shot.

Oh gee! Oh gosh! Oh me! Oh my! What would the class of 33 have done with- out this follower of Raphael, or what would certain youths of our acquaintance have done at Nutt's without her presence? It’s an impos- sible question to answer, for Connie certainly excels in both these arts. We expect great things of you Con. and years from now when some of us will be touring Europe, we shall drop in at the Vatican or perhaps Le Louvre to see some of your chef d'oeuvres, so don’t disappoint us! Hobby—Dancing. Pet Saying—Oh no-o-o. Ambition—To visit Hollywood. Activities—Varsity Squad. ’32: Interclass basketball. ’SO. 31. “32. ’33; Year Book Staff.

It would be easy to say that Eunice’s sweet disposition and rippling laughter have been an inspiration to the class «some members in par- ticular) for several years, but that is no secret and no fun. Her private ambition is to become a hairdress- er and we know several institutions who would like to have her. for she would make a good advertisement. She seems to have a weakness for that part of Vineland which you would find at the right hand of the map. but ’nuff sed! Hcbby—The skating rink. Pet Saying— All right.

'32; Dramatics. 33. 18 JOHN OWEN FLEMING ■BUCK A winning untie, a stately walk. Airs that are brisk, along with his talk. John has taken a sudden liking to French which we cannot explain. Perhaps the Juniors could enlighten us. He is constantly drawing. His more serious skeiches are produced outside of school, but his Mickey mouses and Pop Eyes are all results of a period’s labor somewhere about Sacred Heart, much to the disgust of Mother Davidlca who believes idleness is the devil's workshop. But certainly that is not id- ling. One afternoon we walked in the room to find foDtprints all over the blackboards. John had been to work again! Hotby—Driving. Pet Saying— Nuts. Ambi.ion—To own the Times, yah. to own de T-i-m-e-s. Activities—Dramatics, ’30. 33; Interclass Basketball. 30. 31. ’32. -33; Track. 31. '32; Junior Prom Committee. 32; Sport Ed. of Vine Leaves. 33; Art Dept. 'Z3. JOSEPH PATRICK FOLEY JOJO A strong and s'lent man. Athletics are his stand. Joe could well be termed the school fakir. His amusement is not to swallow fire, eat a sword, or sleep on a bed of daggers, but we wager if he had a good book he would lie on a bed of nails and not notice it. No matter where you see him. except of course on the basket- ball court, he s accompaned by a book! Though he has the reputation of sawing wood during our French period, he is really wide awake to everything and is always giving us a surprise with his wide range of knowledge. Hobby—Reading. Pet Saying— Aw Nertz!’’ Ambition—To write “best-sellers.’’ Activities—Varsity basketball. 31, 32. 33; Varsity captain. 33: Track. 31. '32; Baseball. ’32; Dramatics. 33; Vice president of class. 32. 33. 19 JOHN WILLIAM GEORGE JOHNNIE Ever ready to tend a hand. A clever student and obliging man. John's retiring nature has been the cause of much abuse cn his good character, and since he has been a real pal to all of us we would b:g you to please know him better. We shall never be able to give John full praise for the untiring work he put on the Senior Play, but perhaps he was well repaid by the rehearsals of the “box scene in the second act. We give you our hearty wishes for great success! Hcbby—Swimming. Pet Saying—“Yoh. Ambition—To be THE butter and egg man. Activities—Varsity basketball. 31. '32. '33; Varsity baseball. 31. '32. 33; Interclass basket- ball. 30. '31. '32. 33; Dramatics. 33. ROSALIE BEATRICE GREGORY •ROW A likeable las who is seldom glum Perhaps It's due to chewing gum. Row has decided on a nursing career, but one thing troubles us. We are afraid that when she has her own private hospital the world will be too full of cases like that of the famous McManus creation and the pretty nurse. Doc- tors would certainly have a difficult task in try- ing to convince patients that they are really entirely well! Do you recall the time Jenny walked in with her whole arm bandaged and we found that the kitten had scratched her? Hobby—Driving. Pet Saying— Get out of my way!” Ambition—To stop roaming the halls.

Sharley must like Vineland and Millville equally as well because she has been dividing her time evenly between both towns much to the displeasure of some faculty members. Never mind. Sharley. we know that the spirit is there. We dcn’t know what she is going to do after graduation, but we know whatever her under- taking she will miss the staunch support of the inseparable Betty.

Francie must be the young lady who added the word practicability to the English language, for everything she studies, uses, and possibly eats, is practical. She. herself, is it personified, for what would the different Catholic Clubs about town have done without her faultless typing? Personally. I think the time of fairies and goblins has returned for every time that Francie decides to do something all obstacles disappear magically. Perhaps it’s the determin- ation and willingness with which she tackles things. Did you ever see her on the basket ball court; have you noticed any of her liter- ary products? Well, Just look around and I’m sure I need not add more. Hobby—Talking. Fet Saying—“I know it.” Ambition—Pres. Roosevelt's Secretary. Activities—Varsity basketball. ‘30. 31, ’32. 33; Varsity captain. 32; Interclass basketball. 31. ’32. ’33; Secretary of class. 33; Dramatics. ’33; Track and baseball. 31. 32. 21 EVELYN MARIE KESSLER EMMY Outstanding in sports and ready to win. 8urc of her support through thick and thin. Prom somewhere a voice asked: Who is the young lady with the magnetic fingers who calls the ball from the middle of the center line way over to the forward line?” Some one echoed: “Who's the gal with the hat cocked way back on her head who walks down Landis Ave. with a handsome young chap about noon every day? And far off was heard: “She's the young lady I saw a few years ago playing fcotball with her brother and several of his friends or perhaps shooting marbles or spinning a top in the school yard with Mother Alver- tine’s gleaming smile above her. Devout, yet cheerful: pious not austere; To others lenient, to herself sincere. Hobby—Cutting up. Pet Saying—“It's a dindy!” Ambition—To be a French teacher. Activities—Track and baseball.

MARY KATHARINE MONTEGELFE MONTY Por general knowledge «he can't be beat. It' proved a valuable aid In conquering defeat. And still their wonder grew. To think that such a little head could hold all she knew.” To say more is to spoil it. but it might be added that this young lady went so far as to compose a Sapphic Strophe. What more could one desire? Even the sometimes pretentious requirements of the faculty should be satisfied to the 'ull with Mary's unremittinp labor in all lines of work. Hobby—Arguing. Pet Saying—“I don't think that's right.” Ambition—To teach little children. Activities—Interclass basketball. '30. '31. 32; Junior Prom Committee. 32; San Cuore” staff.

Always interesting with his vast amount of knowledge, we have found him a good companion in all deeds, whether a ser- ious task of praise or an innocent prank of mischief. He is indeed the typical Regular Fellow.” We are positive of his success and some day when he is high up in the dairy busi- ness we shall expect to find the children of Sacred Heart drinking milk at special rates, for generosity is another of Walt’s good qualities. Hobby—Dodging M. M. Pet Saying— Now listen.” Ambition—To get a good night’s sleep. Activities—Treasurer of class. 33; Interclass basketball. ’31. -32. 33; Dramatics. 33; Track.

In May. 1932, Fred Pich made his way from West Catholic straight to our hearts. He is one of those very necessary fellows who alle- viate the monotony of school life. A great wisecracker in Economics class, he often es- capes a very unhappy ending by suddenly be- coming interested in his book. He was a great addition to the orchestra and we all feel sure we couldn’t have done without him. Hobby—Expressing his own opinion. Pet Saying— Bluebird.” Ambition—To draw a day’s wages on half a day’s work. Activities—Varsity baseball. 32. 33; Second team basketball. 33; Interclass basketball. 33; Orchestra. 32. 33; Stage Mgr.. 33. 2) ANNA JULIA H. RATTI BILLIE No matter what the task or question. She always does to perfection. God placed the sun in the heavens to shine on the earth, but God placed Anna in Sacred Heart High School to illumine and spread glad- ness in the hearts of her classmates. Ann is a student par excellence obtaining the highest marks ever since she’s been with us. but that is not the only field in which she excels. Prom pink pajamas in which Ann was sensational as a demure bride in the Senior Play, it is said this pretty maid has become the “maternal” confidante of the class. Why? She hasn’t been basketball manager two years for nothing. Ann was the girl the poet had in mind when he wrote: The stars that in a girl’s eyes dance. Enlighten all youth’s ignorance.” Hobby—Anchors Aweigh. Pet Saying— Why do I always strike ‘S’ in- stead of ’R ” Ambition—To lead negro spirituals. Activities—Ass’t. Ed. San Cuore; Ass’t. Ed.

Just and honest with his kin. Hail to our president! The accompanying list of activities and our own Vine Leaves give ample proof of what Joe really can do. He has taken an active interest in all our un- dertakings. and for this we love him. He is one of the prominent ticket sellers and we know our affairs would not have been so successful without his cooperation. His ambition listed below is another proof of his wide range of interests. Hobby—Finding opportunities for himself. Pet Saying—I wonder «supplemented by: fish. nuts, and other bright sayings.) Ambition—To be a pulsating pencil-pusher. Activities—Editor-in-chief San Cuore.

When you hear keys jingling or the tic toe of a clock, look around and you'll see Ken. He's the fellow who sentences us to boredom or plea- sure by his ringing of the bell. We don't know much about him as he is a sort of a hermit, but there aren’t any of us who haven’t looked upon his Biology marks with envious eyes.

Vacation over and a magnificent adventure ahead! How could we help being thrilled. The quarter of nine bell found us in our places just a little less sure of ourselves and secretly envying the other classmen who appeared so much at home. The name of the subjects we'd said so glibly before today, Latin, Algebra, English, Ancient History, made us catch our breaths just a little, nor were the faculty too reassuring. How- ever, the fight was on and we must face it! Our first duties was to elect class officers. We went through the process with becoming solemnity and chose: Joseph Le Roy .......................................... President William Rafter ..................................... Vice President Rose Negherbon.......................................... Secretary Adeline Tasso .......................................... Treasurer By this time we’d been introduced to the above named subjects and found them to be. under the skillful guidance of Sister Clare Xavier and Sister Marie Emily, not altogether disagreeable, in fact we were beginning to enjoy them and, I hope, to make some progress in them. The first social activity was the school dance given in aid of the library. For many of us it was the very first affair of its kind and I’m afraid many of us did nothing more on this memorable night than stand around like sheep in the rain, our mouths open wide looking exactly what we were, green freshmen. Even the initiation which took place that night failed to rouse us. However by Christmas time we were sufficiently at home to produce and successfully of course under the clever guidance of Sister C. Xavier, a very inspiring Christmas playlet called “Why the Chimes Rang Out.” A sports dance was given about January eleventh and this we attended with more eclat (whatever that might te) and with very few exceptions we gave up our positions as wall flowers to those less capable of entering into social activities. Mid-year exams followed this event immediately and gave us something more serious to think about. Were they altogether successful? We hope. Well in a surprisingly short time these bugbears were over, our brows once more became placid and lovely (?) and we were ready for another mixing of play with work. Another sports dance, a round of parties, none so successful financially but hugely so. socially. And then the event of the year, the Junior Prom! The hall was a bower of loveliness, the music unsurpassable, the gowns ex- quisite. My supply of adjectives is already exhausted and I wanted to say how much we enjoyed. Well! We just did to the nth degree and here and now we want to congratulate the Juniors and Sister Clare Xavier for putting over so spectacular an event. (I’ve been looking for a chance to use that one.) 26 me Leave? But I’ve reached the end of my history and the end of our freshman year. May every year be as happy and as profitable as this one. In conclusion we wish to thank our class teacher. Sister Aloysia, for her untiring efforts to implant in us noble principles such as loyalty to our School and Church, gratitude to our teachers and priests and above all a great love for God. May we always remember these admonitions and act according to them. We would also thank Sisters Clare Xavier and Marie Emily for their work with us in such difficult subjects as Latin, Algebra. English and Ancient History. We hope their endeavors, always so patient, will not have been in vain. Last but not least we wish to thank Mother Davidica whose work has in a great measure made our high school an outstanding one. Half our high school career lies behind us—what joys are the next two years still to unfold. We have just about gotten over the shock we ex- perienced in September when we found that being a Sophomore was not such a lofty position, after all. Somehow or other, the current variety of Freshmen did not seem quite so “fresh.” nor were they sufficiently intimidated by our superior wisdom.. True, we were much in demand on certain occasions: as, for instance, when a little light hauling was necessary, or somebody fainted, or a second part was required for the singing. Then we were really appreciated! We have enjoyed the novel experience of learning a new language, of doing various experiments biologically and geometrically, and of following (more or less fluently!)

We met with no oostacles until the end of October, when a storm of revelry shook the sky and a forced landing found us near the home of one of our passengers, where we spent a most enjoyable evening. An interview with the weather man assured us of a clear sky and for many days we soared along peacefully until we reached a refilling station, where we found that Christmas was near. We immediately began preparations for this joyous season and for our en- counters in basketball with our schoolmates and although the cups do not repose in our ship, we are proud of our efforts. Unable to settle down, we planned for a series of weekly parties which besides affording us many good times, replenished our funds for gas and the like. News that the Senior Class was to give a “Doggie Roast” reached us and we made a happy land- ing at Indian Head, where we enthusiastically joined in the fun. Since then, every one on board has been kept busy preparing for the most excitable moment of flight, the Junior Prom. We were determined that we. the Class of ’34, should go down in history for that event. On Friday, May 26, the auditorium was most attractively decorated with our colors, brown and gold. Amid a garden setting of palms, ferns, and flowers a very capable orchestra rendered a pleasing program. All who were present can boast of a good time. When the time came for to land, again, and do our part for the lawn fete, we once more came forward with something new and novel which attracted attention and also a tidy sum of money, which we proudly handed over as our share. We have ascended for the last time but all is quiet because we are ab- sorbed in our exams, which, if we succeed, will make us dignified Seniors. The time has come again for us to head toward the hangar where the “Spirit of ’34” will rest for three months before starting on the last lap of her journey. 28 The Life ofFranklin I). Roosevelt Fifty years ago. on a little farm at Hyde Park, in the Empire State. James Roosevelt, the great-great-great-great-grandson of Claes Roosevelt, the first of the name in America, waited patiently for word of the birth of his first child by a second wife. The child was named Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Today, he is the man. upon whom millions of Americans are pinning their hopes, the man. who is expected to lead America out of the depression. For fourteen years, he lived the life of the average American youth. His best friends were his parents. Both of them gave him a profound love, but what is more important, they foimed a rare comradeship. They be- came young Roosevelt’s counsellors, his leaders—the combination, which provided their heir with the keen understanding, which, today, makes him the most talked of man in the country. He played “cowboys and Indians,” he roamed the woods and fields, but he also listened to discussions of crops and marketing. He gathered a knowledge of managing farm problems, of surrounding conditions, and to- day this knowledge is the dominant characteristic of the former Governor of New York, the greatest state of the Union. James and Sara Delano Roosevelt shared with him all that they knew of books and events. They were his first teachers. American history— especially that of the early Republic—became a favorite with him. Study for Roosevelt was not drudgery, but rather a form of play, to be alternated with other pursuits, such as climbing trees and knocking bottles off the back fence, in short, all the normal things a healthy. American boy likes to do. The sea fascinated young Roosevelt. On his mother’s side, he came of a family of seafaring men. He relinquished his intense desire to follow the sea on the advice of his father. However, the elder Roosevelt permit- ted Franklin to make his own decision. He decided that his father’s advice was backed by years of experience, and although his decision meant hard work, he followed out his decision to the very end. Whereas the average term at Groton School consists of a six year stay, young Roosevelt received his diploma at the end of his fourth term and was ready for Harvard in the fall of 1900, only eighteen years of age. He completed Harvard’s required four year couse in three years. In his first year. Franklin surprised the entire student body by backing the Democratic party, although Theodore Roosevelt was the Republican nominee for the Vice presidency! Blood ties had failed to conquer his predilection for Democratic principles. Franklin Roosevelt was not a “book worm”. HE LEARNED BY OB- SERVATION. He was a member of the freshman football team and rowed with the varsity eight although he failed to make the official squad. 29 Instead, he became the Editor of The Crimson, the Harvard daily. It was then that he hit his stride, the determined gait that has carried him through the various public offices to the nominee of the Democratic party for the presidency of the United States. He was chosen for many fraternities. Then came the first real sorrow of his life. His beloved father passed away even as Franklin was attract- ing attention by his long list of friends. He became a leader of the univer- sity. He displayed marked ability to command loyalty and co-operation from his mates. Even then, he formed friendships as he pleased, without regard to class or set. Just as evident as his leadership was his lack of snobbish- ness. His broadmindedness was apparent. The liberal statesman of today was already in the making. Franklin Roosevelt married at the age of twenty-three to Anna Eleanor and became a typical family man. There were three children in the Roose- velt family. Roosevelt had become a leading man in his community, happy in his own home life, concerned in the welfare of the community. Roosevelt’s first plunge into politics gained for him the respect of not only his own party but even drew the unstinted praise of his opponents. By his great spirit and friendliness to everyone. Franklin garnered a victory in a reputed Republican stronghold and secured his first public office. State Senator from the twenty-sixth district of New York. Much to the surprise of everyone, except his own backers, he carried out all pre-election promises. In the year nineteen hundred eleven, Roose- velt again showed his courage by bucking up against Tammany on the question of placing William Sheehan in the United States Senate. His subsequent victory gained new supporters for this rising leader, who by now was anxious to retire from politics. He was drafted by his friends however, and was reelected to the Senate by a larger majority than he had enjoyed in the first election. During his second term, Franklin became a national figure. His spirit- ed support was one of the chief factors in the election of that eminent statesman. Woodrow Wilson. But had it not been for Franklin Roosevelt, the war president might have been submerged for it was the New York Senator who pointed out the inadequacy of the American navy. As a re- sult, when Wilson finally declared war on the Imperial Government of Germany, the American navy v as able to assist in its share of the program. It was Franklin Roosevelt who first granted an interview to the Am- erican inventor of the undersea mines, those infernal machines which caused the German undersea boats so much difficulty. It was Franklin Roosevelt who directed the demobilization of the American navy abroad. It was Franklin Roosevelt who advocated America joining the newly formed League of Nations. The failure of the American diplomats to heed the advice of Roosevelt, left this body but another European alliance, posses- sing little effectiveness. JO Roosevelt was handed another setback in the presidential campaign of nineteen twenty-lour, when, running as the Democratic nominee for the vice presidency, he was defeated, while the reins of the government were handled by Warren Harding and the group, which caused such scandal throughout our country. It may be interesting to note here that an examination of the program advanced by Roosevelt sensed the needs of our country perfectly and would have aided much in preventing the great financial depression which now giips our nation. His proposal for a national budget was rejected while the small budget adopted by the Republican party failed to meet the crisis. However, there is good in everything and in visiting every state in the union during his extensive campaign, he has gathered a knowledge of the needs of each State and also of the entire nation. In nineteen twenty-one, Franklin Roosevelt was stricken with infantile paralysis, a disease from which he was not expected to recover. For three long years, a bitter struggle was carried on between the two forces. It was in nineteen twenty-four that, through the remarkable treatment at Warm Springs, Franklin was able to return to politics, to regain his rightful place in the public eye. Again good came out of evil, for his sensational recovery was heralded over the nation and once again, Franklin Roosevelt became a national figure, from whom great things were expected. His complete recovery is evidenced by insurance policies to the extent of a half million dollars. After examinations by six physicians, one is almost sure to be fit for any public position. Although he had just re- covered from his malady, Roosevelt was elected to the position of governor of the Empire State in the fall of 1928, despite the great Republican land- slide of that year. In the fall of nineteen thirty-two the great climax of Roosevelt’s ca- reer was reached, when he was selected as the Democratic nominee for the presidency of our nation. To show his appreciation for this honor, to show his enthusiasm, Roosevelt flew to the Democratic convention, disregarding former cus- toms. refusing to wait a month to be officially notified of his nomination, in order to convince the Democratic party that they had chosen wisely. Roosevelt thrilled the nation with his acceptance speech, part of which I shall quote for you. “My friends.” he said, “may this be the symbol of my intention to be honest and to avoid all hypocrisy and sham, to avoid all silly shutting of the eyes to the truth in this campaign. Let it also be symbolic that in so doing (Flying to the scene of the convention) I broke traditions. Let it be from now on, the task of our party to break foolish traditions. We will break foolish traditions and leave it to the Republican party, far more skilled in the art, to break premises.” To further describe the Democratic nominee, we quote two of the lead- ing newspapers of our nation thus: “Roosevelt stands on the broad middle, liberal ground between radical and conservative, intensely concerned with the American people. If Am- ericanism exists at all. this is Americanism.”—Philadelphia Record. 31 “Roosevelt demands only one thing—legislation with enough teeth in it to make utility companies play fair with the public. This isn’t radi- calism. It’s just common honesty.”—Camden Post. Whereas Herbert Hoover, the Republican nominee, was uncertain in his standards up until the Republican party’s victory in 1920, Franklin Roosevelt has always been an avid Democrat, even refusing to let blood ties interfere with his party principles. Whereas Mr. Hoover has lived in England during the majority of his life and thus is unfamiliar with existing conditions in America, Mr. Roose- velt has lived with the American people, has traveled through every state in the union, studying each state’s conditions. Surely, there can be little question as to which man is the better fit- ted to act as president of the United States during the expected recovery from the current morass. —JOSEPH REILLY me Leases JOSEPH’S WIFE Something had happened! What it was, Rebecca could not quite de- termine. but she was sure that a change had come over Joseph of late. He was quieter, more thoughtful, less aware of Rebecca’s lovely presence. Joseph, always so tender, always so ready to grant her every wish, had in the last fortnight become strangely preoccupied, failing even to answer her many questions concerning the doings at the Baths and in the market place. Only when she mentioned the carpenter’s Son, that strangely notorious Man whose name seemed to be on every one’s tongue, then Joseph’s face lighted up. and his eyes gleamed mysteriously. Thoughtfully sipping the amber wine which her maid had brought to her. Joseph’s wife sat with knitted brows. She made a pretty picture there, in her garden among the ravishing oriental blooms. It was at the hour between sunset and night when the whole world is bathed in a glorious haze of blue and grey. The flowers immediately about her were a pool of daz- zling whiteness; further on the scheme changed from this snowy purity to a deep blue sea; back of her there was a magic world of pink, from a deli- cate baby pink to the boisterous cerise; and to complete the portrait, just before a fountain of sparkling waters the scenery became one of multi- colored radiance. There were pale yellow blooms, there were deep yellow blooms, velvety red ones, and royal purple ones, flaming orange ones, and light orchid ones. Indeed it seemed as though Iris had missed her mark and had let her hues fall on earth instead of the heavens. Amidst these. Rebecca sat unconscious of this beauty, unconscious too that without her presence, it would have been a lifeless beauty. The pearls about her throat accented the velvety duskiness of her skin; the long earrings that dropped from her lobes brought out the amber depths from her eyes; her tiny hands and slim, white arms were adorned by precious rings and bracelets; the white silken tunic which fell in graceful folds from the blue black of her hair gave one the impression of unreality. But indeed it was real, and real it was. that Joseph was not present to enjoy this enhancing beauty. She had been here an hour, perhaps two. She did not know. She knew nothing except of the appalling change in her husband. Why was it that he seemed so troubled, at times even unhappy? Could it be—? But no! Jo- seph, the most prominent member of the Sanhedrim could never have stooped listening to that Lowly Fraud who claimed to be the Son of God. When finally he did come home, she asked him questions, a horde of questions, but he would not answer, he would not even offer an explanation. Poor girl, she did not know, could not know that it was not yet time for her. There is a time when Christ calls and it is then we must answer. A week passed in this manner. Things were getting worse. It was even rumored that a time had been set for the condemnation to death of the False Prophet. But Joseph’s wife had no time for anything except plea- sure and the society of her friends for that was the only way she knew of forgetting. 33 At last he came to her with a beating heart and anguish in his eyes. Christ had been condemned to death! At his first words her pressed lips turned to sneering ones. Couldn’t she see that he loved the Messias, couldn’t she understand? Joseph was broken hearted. At last, conquered by the distress and deep sorrow in his voice, for she loved him dearly, she agreed to listen. But, again when he mentioned the tomb, the rock-hewn tomb he wanted for his Lord, she was antabonitic. Her garden, the wonder of miles around, to be ruined by a roughly hewn tomb! Never, never would she permit that. It was then Joseph became determined. He loved her, yes, but there was Someone he loved with a stronger, fiercer love, which he could not conquer. Christ, his Christ, who was going to die for him, his wife, nay the whole world. And that weary body, that weary head, was it to know no peace, no rest after such agony? Something within Joseph’s breast swelled, swelled to a breaking point, indeed, it did seem to break and Joseph felt numb. That rock was going to be hewn, and on the after- noon it would be the haven of that Someone’s emanciated Body! The following morning she awoke. Not as usual, awakened by the cheerful chirping of a thrush nor by the glorious rays of the sun, for this day there was no sun, and her birds had been silenced as if by magic. She looked out upon her garden. Its sombre beauty gripped her. She was startled by a strange thumping coming from the rocks, and then she knew. Joseph was keeping his promise. An overwhelming fury seized her. How could he? She turned, shaking, to stop the men working with their chisels, but something held her. Something was tugging at her heart and she could not go on. Far off a shout of “Barabbas!” went up. She even thought she heard. “Crucify Him!” Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump thump. She could not stand it. Everything was driving her mad! Des- perately she seized her silken cloak and left her house, but everywhere shouts reechoed and a monotonous deafening thump followed her. It was evening. Weary and pale she awaited once more the return of her husband. The chiseling had stopped. The shouting had ceased. Every where there was silence. An almost appalling hush had overtaken the world. This quiet was maddening, but she did not care. She was numb. At last she saw him coming as if in a mist. Listless, she looked at him and saw him. haggard, torn in an agony of sorrow, followed by two men. But it was not Joseph she noticed. The two men were carrying something in a sheet. What it was, she well knew. Shaking and frightened, she tried to look away. Her head would not move, her lids would not close. Something drove her from her couch and slowly she followed the sad procession to the tomb. As men placed the dead Messias in the tomb, the sheet fell from His face. Rebecca looked. The blood-stained face did not frighten her, nor did the mangled head still pierced with thorns make her shudder. There was agony in the face. But it was an agony radiating with love, a love so great that it gripped her heart, making it bigger and bigger and big- ger. She wanted to touch it, caress it, soothe it with her hands, but she was too conscious of her unworthiness. For an infinitesimal end of time she gazed upon it going through such a multitude of emotions that suddenly she felt weak and falling on her knees with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips she sobbed—“My Lord, my God!” She had been called, and she had gone!

This morning found us in our class Just waiting for the day to pass; Our team was anxious, nervous, high. But we felt sure that we’d get by. A welcome bell rang through the air Which meant that soon we would be there. The hall was tense A crowd appeared I heard the ringing of their cheers The girls were in their lockers gay. We must take over Hallahan’s today! In suits of Red and Blue we went To show their school our great defence Bowing low we said a prayer Until a whistle rent the air At this we knew our place to stand For our own glory was at hand. A heavy ball went through the air. Our center leaped and caught it there A forward took it to her care Which left her opponent in despair. The game was not an easy one But Oh! we had a lot of fun. The crowd was happy first, then sad But pleasing all could not be had Our guards were fast as day and night They knew and did just what was right. Our center’s mate played ball with grace She helped her out of every tight place And when the game drew near a close With everybody on his toes We vowed ourselves to win the test And to come out our very best! And so we did with colors high Bring back our victory to Sacred Heart High. 56 EVELYN KESSLER. ine Leave ? OUR ALMA MATER—SACRED HEART O Alma Mater, O Sacred Heart, How sad we are that we must part; But. you have been so kind and true That we, at least, must offer you Our Love, Honor, and Contrition And beg of you our life’s petition. To show our gratitude, we now seek In each letter of your name so meek, A word that will point out to you And never seem to us so new. Let S stand for sagacious Not too wise, but more gracious. Now A points to Ardor for you And care of your name, always so true Righteous may we always stand May your Emblem wave high in the land Your Decree was always our aim In our hearts it will'always remain. To Elevate to the very sky To Animate, tho’ we surely sigh. For reason tells us it is good-bye But truth will always with us bide. Who says he ain’t got General Knowledge? I says he ain’t, but he’s got something. He calls it General Knowledge, when a place is where it ain’t. He says that study is all bosh. But he gets along all right. He sleeps all day, he sleeps all night. But he says he never sleeps. Of course he calls that General Knowledge, but that’s hooey. He says that school is waste of time, but gee. he stays. Why not? Anyway, he’s smart that boy, that Walter Parks. ’Cause he’s got General Knowledge. Is there something wrong with our Clock? Or does John George really need a knock? To school he is never on time. And yet he is not in his prime. Yes, the Class Clock in good time keeps. It’s John George, he has need of more sleep. M. K. M. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE M. K. M. OUR CLASS CLOCK M. K. M. 37 FROM SEPTEMBER TO JUNE Here is the most powerful sextette ever to wear the Red and Blue of Sacred Heart. With a final count of eleven victories in thirteen starts, the girls have reason to show those beaming countenances We regret that four of the stars of this year’s combination must leave—Captain Eve- lyn Kessler. Frances Jost, Frances Brown and Jenny Sparagna—but we feel sure that next year’s team will strive to equal, if not surpass the splendid record of these clever lassies. Glance at those huskies on the opposite page. Is it any wonder they are smiling? These court stars of Sacred Heart not only completed a suc- cessful campaign, but, for the first time in the history of the rivalry be- tween Vineland High and the Red and Blue, we “Irish” came out on top. Congratulations, fellows. We can not claim a championship for our boys’ baseball team, but we can and will boast of a fighting team, that refused to give up until the last out had been made. The members of the varsity were: Fred Pich. Joe Reilly, John George. Charles Vondra. Joe Duffy. Jim Hennessey. John Armano. Lew Coltri, Charles Smith. Walter Pegg and Joe Bisson. Well, here we are! The future Barrymores and Cornells—in disguise. You’d never recognize us as the characters in our Senior play, but that is when this photo was taken. Weeks of intensive rehearsing are depicted in the smiling (?) faces of our dramatists, but didn’t we have a lot of fun during our practices?? Such remarks as—“More rain—that thunder is atrocious—talk louder, etc.,” only added to our enjoyment. 39 VARIOUS DIVERSIONS Our first class meeting decided Who’s Who” in regard to whom the honor would belong to represent us as officials. Class officers and the staff for the Year Book were duly selected and our newly elected secretary recorded the minutes and the procedure in her note book. Shortly after, the activities for the year were decided upon. Of course, you know their purpose—to raise money for a prospective trip to Washington and a Year Book. We started in a small way by giving a series of parties at the various homes of our class-mates. They afforded us much pleasure and laid the foundation of our bank account. The bigger affairs that we put on during the course of the year will follow in the order that they oc- curred. “BOOK PARTY” What on earth is a book party?” Rather an odd way of putting an initiation, but you see. it was for a twofold purpose. Our library was still incomplete and the Freshmen initiation was a wonderful opportunity of increasing it. The date was set in October. Each one’s ticket was acquired by contributing one book to the library. Our first duty that night, before the dancing was. of course, to initiate the curious and spirited Freshmen. No need to go into detail for I’m sure all are acquainted with such affairs. Nevertheless, one instance must be recorded. One diminutive and excep- tionally mischievous Freshman shouted her desire of being initiated three times. Anything to please. She was shampooed with onion juice just three times too often. After exhausting our brains and unable to think of any more punitive measures, the school orchestra beat up a tune and danc- ing followed. CARD PARTY The evening of December 14 was rather cool and clear in the starlight. In our auditorium dark green and red card tables were placed in alternate rows, each with its tallies and deck of cards. The hall was appropriately decorated in class colors, while pretty, yet useful, prizes were attractively arranged on a table. It wasn’t long before the games were under way. each one trying to obtain the highest score. Refreshments completed the even- ing’s pleasure, and everybody went home feeling that they got their money’s worth.” To show our good will, the proceeds were given toward the Athletic and Library fund. SPORT DANCES We had entered the field of sports. We needed money. Our Athletic Director. Rev. Father Fritz, found a solution. Under his direction, two sport dances were planned. The first was held in the evening of January 11 with music furnished by the Troubadours. It was a grand success, and an inspiration for the second on February 17. This time we were entertain- ed by the Blue Spades. It was only through the unselfish efforts and able supervision of Father Fritz that these affairs were both a financial and social success. Once again, the proceeds went to the Athletic and Library fund. 40 SPAGHETTI SUPPER One oi the most profitable activities was our Spaghetti Supper. It was also one that required a great deal of preparation and labor. Here, if it were not for the kind and ever-helping Parent-Teachers, we never would have gotten the meal cooked on time, nor as you probably surmise, would we have been able to cook it at all. Anyhow, we did set the tables, arrange the flowers, and act as waitresses. The really amusing part of it all was the scene back-stage.” There the boys in our class were actually cute in their white frilled aprons—washing the dishes! Never mind, fellows, it was a noble deed. FOOD SALE Why of course we had a food sale! To a little store on Landis Avenue, cakes, pies, home-made bread and the like, were brought on Saturday morning. March 18. You couldn’t help but pass it when doing your shopping, and many folks yearning for some appetizing dish dropped in to satisfy their wants. We didn’t make much money on this sale, but we weren’t discouraged because every bit counted. SENIOR PLAY The biggest event of the season! We can certainly feel proud of the marvelous production of After You I’m Next.” Such an unusual title and such a fast-moving plot are scarcely ever to be found in an amateur show. Yes, it is even rumored that our play surpassed those of previous years. (At least, we’ll say it did.) Now that it’s all over, we look back upon the hours and nights of. should I say weary, practice? No. not weary, but very pleasant ones. Don’t misunderstand me. It was not always easy to memorize our lines or act our parts, neither was it facetious to be corrected for missing our cues; but all in all. they were delightful evenings in which we worked together for a common cause. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the diligence of Mrs. Kessler who directed the play with such ability. Her reward was contained in its success. “After You I’m Next” is a comedy in three acts, written by Lawrence G. Worcester and published by the Walter Baker Company. The characters were as follows: Paul Delmon, a young novelist with money .....................John George Marie Delmon. his wife of 189 dinners and 7 breakfasts .... Frances Brown George, a study in black ................................. Berault Arnade Henry Jones ) Walter Parks ) Just married. Mary Jones ) Anna Ratti Phil Young, a cub reporter for no reason at all.............. John Fleming Peaches, a female reporter for all reasons .................. Frances Jost Pat. a crook who hangs around a policeman............................Joseph Foley Pansy Delbor. a chorus girl, why waste words? .............. Evelyn Kessler Mrs. C. U. Later, mother of Marie and nagger of Paul ........... Mary Foley Camille. Paul’s nice little niece ........................... Eunice Fabbri Kate O’Reilly, an Irish policewoman..................Kenneth Schwerzler 41 DOGGIE ROAST Want to have a good time?” That advertised our next social gather- ing. The idea of a doggie roast was unique, especially on those beautiful evenings of May. The eighth of this month witnessed a large group of boys and girls piling into trucks and private cars in front of the school on their way to Indian Head. Once there, a great many ‘‘jumped in the river.” Don’t be frightened. I mean they went swimming. Just as dark settled on the land, the real fun began. Carting wood and branches to build a roaring fire was the initial step. The next thing you knew the hot dogs were sizzling over the ashes, rolls were toasting, and the mustard was in demand. We went home tired and sleepy at the end of a perfect day. The crowning event of the year has just taken place. Did someone say. What was that?” There is no need to do so for everybody knows about the Prom. There is but one word to describe it—perfect. Each Senior received an invitation and a complimentary ticket requesting his or her presence in the Sacred Heart auditorium on the evening of May 26. When we arrived there, we marveled at the beauty of the hall. It was transformed. Pastoral scenes were depicted not only on the stage as a setting for the orchestra, but also in each corner of the auditorium. Brown and gold streamers add- ed luster to the already brilliant effect. The orchestra is to be compliment- ed on its splendid melodies and the ice-cold punch on its deliciousness. We certainly appreciate the endless trouble that Sister Clare Xavier and the Junior class went to, in affording us such a pleasant evening. We sincerely hope you will accept our simple Thank you.” JUNIOR PROM —FRANCES JOST 42 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL A fighting Sacred Heart sextet has recently completed the most suc- cessful season in the history of the school. The clever protegees of Miss Evelyn Brooks captured eleven out of thirteen starts and have the satis- faction of having defeated each of their opponents at least once. The eagle-eyed shooting of Captain Evelyn Kessler and her speedy partner. Frances Jost. gave Sacred Heart a total of 507 points throughout the cam- paign while our girls’ clever guarding yielded only 270 to our opponents. Our girls’ scored two major victories which gained for them a promi- net place in girls’ athletic competition. Much to the surprise of the vic- tims and joy of the victors, the lowly Sacred Heart team defeated both John Hallahan High and West Catholic Girls’ High of Philadelphia. But we feel that the greatest success was achieved in the final contest of the season when the Irish” lassies trounced their bitter rivals. Vineland High. Coach Miss Evelyn Brooks is to be complimented for her untiring efforts in moulding the successful combination which represented our school during the past campaign. Her skillful tutelage has perfected one of the best girls’ basketball teams in South Jersey. This year’s squad in the expressed opinion of newspapermen, was well balanced and the most powerful sextet ever to wear the Red and Blue of Sacred Heart. Miss Brooks has reason to be proud of her protegees, who have worked so dili- gently to bring victory to their Alma Mater. The personnel of the team follows: Captain Evelyn Kessler—our high scoring forward well deserved the title of “Captain” which was bestowed upon her. She possesses indomit- able courage which proved the deciding factor in many of our victories. Her athletic ability classes her as one of the best schoolgirl athletes in this section of the State, and her absence leaves a gap which will be hard to fill. Continue your leadership in the years to come, Evelyn. Frances Jost—paired with Miss Kessler makes one of the flashiest scoring combinations that a coach could wish to have. Her invincible speed, coupled with that eagle eye. enabled her to score many points, and her presence in the lineup was a relief on many occasions. Sacred Heart will sorely miss you in the coming years. Frances, and may you continue in your hearty support. Frances Brown—our center was the main cog in this scoring machine. Her height netted the tap. which on many occasions converted points. She possessed a fighting spirit without a doubt, and participated in almost every scoring play. Frances made many a dull moment bright by her spec- tacular playing, which will be missed in the coming years after she leaves our S. H. H. S. Jenny Sparagna—side center was a valuable little Miss”. Her sta- ture did not interfere with her aim. for whether she played an opponent, tall or small. Jenny could be counted on giving her all”. She truly be- 45 Leases lieved in the motto “All for one, one for all,” which was probably the rea- son for her splendid playing throughout her high school career. Sacred Heart surely has reason to be proud of you Jenny, and wishes you all the luck in the coming years. Alice Luisi—the diminutive guard could be termed The Guard With- out A Flaw.” for on numerous occasions her excellent guarding proved a thorn in the side of her opposing forward. Speed was this lassie’s main weapon of defense, for she stopped many a ball from ripping the cords. Alice has another year in which to antagonize the opposing scorers and we wish her “Good Luck” during the coming campaign. Mary Foley—the most versatile athlete at Sacred Heart was probably born with a basketball in her hands for her passing and playing was in- teresting to watch. Mary could play any position equally well and Miss Brooks has reason to be proud of possessing such a valuable lass on her squad. Followers of the sextet should hear a lot of Mary next year. Best wishes. Mary. Cecelia De Maio—could fill a book with her spectacular exhibition of basketball. She. no doubt, placed many an opposing player in a predicament by her clever guarding. Cecelia always fought hard but clean, and this alone classes her as an invincible star. Many an opponent will remember Cecelia’s fighting spirit which should enable her to break into the headlines during the approaching season, thus, ending her athletic career at Sacred Heart in a blaze of glory. We wish you the best of luck, Cecelia. Success cannot be achieved without hard labor, and thus, we now reveal the reason for such a prosperous basketball season, “Our Second Team.” Here we find a group of enthusiastic lassies fighting for their Alma Mater. Many and many a battle did this group of players give the first squad, bringing them into the finest shape in order to cope with their opponents. On this squad we gaze upon the future stars of Sacred Heart, soon to be battling to uphold the colors of Red and Blue. Enough cannot be said of the following, because on them rests much of the credit due to the suc- cessful court season that Miss Brooks and her squad have enjoyed this year: Dolores Marx. Mary GofTredi. Marie Figarole. Zora Armano, Madeleine Bacque, Mary DiOrio, Loretta Nealis. Josephine Cernigliaro. The Senior Class of ’33 wishes you the best of luck in future seasons.

GREGORY. INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL For the first time since inter-class competition was started four years ago, both titles went to the same class this year when two powerful Senior Class combinations walked off with both cups. And in each instance, the Junior groups were the vanquished. We don’t know whether this means they will emerge victorious in next year’s competition, but we do leave them best wishes. 45 BOYS’ BASKETBALL Although they tangled with some of the most powerful court com- binations in New Jersey, the fighting “Irish” of Sacred Heart emerged from a season of mortal combat with the enviable record of nine victories against an equal number of setbacks. Our boys do not wish to use a comparison of the sizes of their opponent'� school, but rather point with justifiable pride to the favorable comments elicited by their spirited showings against these odds. Coach Rieck may justly be proud of the record compiled by his proteges. The climax of our season was reached on that memorable evening when for the first time in the local rivalry, the Red and Blue of Sacred Heart waved triumphantly over the Red and Gray of Vineland High. Neither the student body, nor the “Irish” following will soon forget that history making conflict when a last minute field goal by Jim Catto, our star center, enabled us to nose out the Vineland lads, 11 to 10. Nor will we forget the performance of Captain Joe Foley in that battle. Joe has been a star member of our court squad for three years and merited the honor of captaining a successful quintet. Unfortunately, this is Joe’s last year, and his departure will leave a gap which will be mighty hard to fill. Many thanks. Joe, for the splendid spirit and fight you have shown. Johnny George proved to be a very important part in our quintet. His clever passing and speed made him a dangerous contender at all times and enabled him to ring up many counters for our team. Fortunately, John- nie’s tallies came at the most opportune moments and more than one of our victories can be directly traced to him. “Lanky Jim” Catto was the outstanding man on this year’s squad. His ability to gain the tap made him an important offensive man, while his sterling defensive work has never been questioned. “Jinks” gained many honors during the season but we feel sure that he will appreciate the humble thanks of his teammates for his soectacular playing. “Stick it, Joe!” That is the most familiar phrase to the many admir- ers of Joe DufTy. sensational Sophcmore court star. And, fortunately, for the “Irish,” Duffy usually heeded the plea and answered with a double decker. Joe’s great defensive work made him a very valuable man to our team and we give him our best wishes for continued success in future years. All local sport followers are familiar with the eagle-eyed Lew Cresci. The famous “Bluebird” play, originated by Manager Arnade and per- fected by Cresci, enabled him to lead our lads in the scoring column. Keep up the good work, “Cress.” Joe Reilly and Jim Hennessey proved to be our most effective relief men. Both lads were ever ready to enter a torrid contest when the going was toughest and deserve a great deal of credit for successfully fulfilling 46 a very hard job. Joe, a Senior, took part in all but two of our games, while Jim. another Sophomore star, engaged in one less fray. Thanks a lot. Joe, and best wishes. Jim. Small in stature but mighty in strength—that is the best way to describe our other relief man. John Fleming. Whenever a fast clever basket- ball player was in demand, he was “Johnny-on-the-spot. Fleming’s absence will be greatly felt next year as his versatility enabled him to step into any man’s position at any time and “carry on.” Congratulations. “Buck. Charley Vondra, a promising Sophomore prospect, while not outstand- ing in this year’s competition, gave promise of developing into a real star. Vondra showed a marked improvement in each appearance and should find himself on the varsity next season. While somewhat handicapped by the presence of such a stellar athlete as Catto. Vondra made vast strides and attracted favorable comment from his opponents. Great credit is due to two Senior athletes. Fred Pich and Walt Parks, who made their competitive debut at Sacred Heart during the past cam- paign. Pich occasionally saw service with the varsity and later starred on the second squad. Parks played a steady defensive game and gained recognition on his consistency in battle. Great work, fellows. Our reserves put on such an interesting and spectacular brand of bas- ketball that they almost “stole the show” from the varsity. These young- sters surprised everyone with their speed and clever passing and promise to successfully fill the shoes of our graduate stars. Those who played on the reserves were: Captain Bud Kessler. Russ Johnson. Walt Parks. Fred Pich. Tom Dougherty. John Dougherty, Frank “Schnozzle Lodge, Joe Bis- son. Lew Ross. Charles George. Lew Scarani and Eddie Giordano.
