AQUINAS BRINKER, O.S.B., MA O I O Our Soldier Priest TO .A TRULY GREAT AMERICAN Wlieii the theme of the yearbook, 'KThe American of Tomorrow , had been accepted, the thoughts of the seniors almost automatically gravitated to one who has been an inspiration to the students for years, to one who has been the idol of his soldier boys the country over. In his mathematics and physics classes he trained for life by demanding clear thinking and precise measurements, in his association with the boys, he inspired to generous living by willingness to serve and to encourage. He is a zealous priest, a worthy teacherg a true friend, a staunch patriot. The class of 1940 takes pleasure in dedicating this eighth volume of the CI-IIMES to their beloved teacher and soldier-priest FATHER AQUINAS OF TODAY FOR THE IDEALISTIC Youth is a precarious time. During the formative years of adolescence young lives can often be directed to high ideals or baser levels by mere trilles. It is paramount therefore that boys of High School age be inspired with the loftiest ideals and trained to these soundest principles of right living. Not in fame, nor power nor wealth does success consist, but in always doing the best one can. Some are physical giants, some are intellectual geniuses, some are magnetic personalities, but unless each one directs his endowments to noble ends, his life will have been spent in vain. From far beyond this mortal life must come the criteria of living. Our guiding principles must be Heaven-born and God-given, as eternal and im- mutable as God Himself. Through these tender years our masters have been kind, while training our minds . They have drilled us to conform to the precepts of God, of school and of country, they have encouraged us when we have slipped, above all, they have set us a worthy example by their religious lives. Now we are willing to accept new responsibilities. We are eager to serve our fellow man. We are ready to accept the trust placed in us as The Americans of Tomorrow . 1 ily! .I H 1 :P 1 , ' .4 ' .7 f.a..-.- rar? 1, , x . x 1 1u.:.- ., J ..' ,.,.

Religion is the only founda- tion for true patriotism. Pro Deo et Patria , For God and Country will ever be the motto of the class of 1940. THE SCHOLAR Civilization may be at the crossroads. The culture of Europe may vanish after the war of 1940. Perhaps we Americans of Tomorrow may be called upon to be the saviors of learning and culture like the monks of the Dark Ages. X'Ve Vincentians of 1940 will ever hold aloft the torch of learning. THE GENTLEMAN A man may have the mathematical genius of Einstein, the analytical power of a Shake- speare, the historical background of a Macau- lay, but if he is not a gentleman, his influence on society will be weakened. The graduates of 1940 will ever aim to harmonize the attri- butes of Scholar and Christian into what we so highly esteem and call-The Gentleman. X f KX 1 .,-. .vf .'

EDMUND CUNEO, o.s.B., M.s., PH.D. lf you wish a job done well, ask a busy man is an oft repeated experience, and this explains the success of Father Edmunds many activities as Headmaster. I-le edits the jour- vmlelle and the Cl2.im.es, he accompanies de- baters, players, and gleesters, he supervises the renovations, he teaches classes, and above all, he is mother and father to every boy in the Prep. As Americans of Tomorrow the class of 19110 will ever remember Father Edmund as The American of Today . REV. Vrrus lQRIEGLAEL, o.s.B., AM., LL.B. In the scholasticate are trained the Bene- dictines of future generations. There are laid the foundations of learning and sanctity so necessary to the modern monk. Father Virus, the Director, is a sympathetic father as Well as an exacting master. He insists on industry and gentlemanly conduct, but counsels and encourages in a way that makes discipline palatable and easy. I-Iis cheery good morn- ing, boys is a bracing tonic when sleep and worry may still oppress young hearts. 1',x'rH15R Dominic F,x'rllER HUGH lixrnnn Cixmltuls Fnritn CONSTANTINE Isn't this new parlor beautiful? What a change has been made in the corridor , were comments frequently heard this year when the students escorted their visitors through the ,'?'5newly renovated quarters. Occasionally some- ' 'one did comment,, This IHUSK have cost thou- sands . Yes, and this is where the school treasurer and his assistant, Father Dominic -and Father Hugh, did the worrying. Father -'Hugh did not need' to worry so much when he tried to instil culture into Father Mala- chy's American History students, and at no time did our noble and illustrious chap- lain, Father Camillus seem to worry. I-Ie was always ready for service, and zounds , never foiled again. On St. Benedict's Day and other state occasions, Father Constantine wor- ried, but his choir and glee club always did magnificently. Da. S. W. NEALON DR. G. F. N12ALoN Teaching the principles of democracy The health of the prepsters has been excep- tionally good and much credit is due our medical staff-Dr. Stephen YV. Nealon and his son, Dr. Gervase Nealon, of Latrobe, and our resident nurse, Mr. Raymond I-Iungerman. Few may like their prescriptions of gargles, pills, and liquid diets, but they are saviors from suffering. XVhere is the rest of the crowd , is Father Egbert's usual question when he assumes com- mand in the day students' room at two, but no one was missing when he organized the day-hop basketball league, and few ever missed keeping their promises when he granted per- missions as assistant heaclmaster. I-Ie was a real master of every situation especially when the operetta was in progress. Ordination will but intensify the greatness of this kindly soul. MR. HuNuiz1usiAN FA'l'lIliR Eonulrr Father Norbert is the little blond priest with the big smile,-the man who directs prep athletics and Bede Hall activities, or curbs them il' the Bedeites be singing Christmas Carols at midnight. It required an attack of appendicitis to lay him low, but the Kittens presented him with an eventful 32-6 victory over St. Mary's ol' the Mount-a tonic that brought him back in twelve days. As assistant prefect in Bede Hall Father Aurelius and his genial smile keep the sun shining even when dark clouds hover everywhere else, but when he does give a study hall speech, he speaks with Hnalily. This was the lirst year lor Father Aurelius-and we hope it will not be his last. A Campus View After eleven years of prelecting, Father Patrick surrendered his reigns of government in Maur Hall to Father Matthew. It is a big job to keep custody of little boys, who like to hook a smoke , to upset beds, to stay in town late, but Father Matthew was always around when he was wanted and when he was not wanted. A great leader is Father Matthew, and a great teacher also. Ably assisting Father Matthew was Father More, not only in main- taining discipline, but also in harmonizing popular and old time songs at Maurite shin- digs, and in renovating the Junior Clubroom. His novel come in was a breakdown for many a timid Maurite. IFA I'llliIl NORBERT FA'l'lllill AUlUiLIUS F,x'r1-usa ll'IA'l l'l-IEXV ' Fivrixicn Motu FATIIER AIDAN I Fmt-lisa AUSTIN June 16 will be ordination day for many. Among the young priests will be one Whose memory will be cherished, fondly. Father Aidan spent six years in the scholasticate and has left his imprint upon many-not in a physical way either. In September he was Guardian Angel to homesick fledglings, in November he gave them rules, in May he beat them with his bat-on the diamond. Santa Claus took Father Marcian to the hospital. A new prefect was inevitable. The unanimous wish of the boys was that his successor would be as good as he. And Father Austin was. Lake St. Vincent FA 'l'ml'- ALVIN FA'rluz11 Guam lN r I-Ie helped to introduce volley ball, to in- augurate a tennis league, and to restrain talkative boys by having them write com- positions. The third of the A's among the scholastic prefects, and this refers to their ex- cellence as well as to their lirst initial, is Father Alvin. This splendid athlete, this careful dis- ciplinarian could scarcely be otherwise com- ing from that town ol? eminent men-St. M arvs. Last, but not least, everv iunior cheers for Father Clement, who is the guiding spirit of the younger lads and the master mind of the various leagues. v ,f .Y sl win sf 22 H ' , . - ' a In ' ' visit V F-1 -.

On the hour he negins and ends his classes, and if his kindly glance fails to bring order-watch out-a test. Only as the years roll on and the breadth of vision widens will Father Malachv he fully appreciated. He is a connoisseur of the Hne things of .living-art, literature, and the art of enjoying lilfe. Rich experiences-academic, cultural, and humorous, are the legacy the students will carry from Father Otto's classes. Ant-aut is his favorite expression, and the number one teacher is the vote of the scho- lastics. The Priest Obligingu might well describe Father Jerome, the Prep Confessor, chaulfeur, teacher, Woodsman, and dispenser of juQ . A loyal friend of every p1'CPStC1'.

From the chief librarian, Father Valentine, came the same eflicient service whether a de- bater asked for statistics about the railroads, or a freshman needed material for a theme. Pere Blase, as the genial teacher of French is known to his students, is a memorable per- sonality. I-Ie could take a class through Italy, Germany, France and England as capably as he could trace a word through these languagesg and could he swim, winter or sunimerl Yes, that's right , agrees Father Rembert when his French students surprise him with a correct answer. His pleasant disposition will always be an inspiration.

An idol of the boys. This was Father Dun- stan's first ear on the faculty, but he soon had all things lined up . Literature and medieval history were more fascinating through his colorful presentation. F atner Ulrich's dis- cipline was something to behold, for personal demonstration often accompanied his words. Hey, Father , also brought long compositions that will long be remembered. Buenas dias, Padre Paulo , greeted Father Patil as he en- tered his class, and his students meant it for they liked him and his Spanish. May he long continue on the Prep Staff. H ' I',x'r1fi1s1t BREN DAN FATHER MARC: AN is the 1iie's Work of our educators From l1is colorful pharmacy on the Hrst floor Father Brendan ascended to Room 65 to dispense rules of health like 'his pills, but his classes were more inviting. Not so promising was the New Year for Father Marcian who spent the inauguration of 19410 as a patient in the Latrobe hospital following an emer- gency operation. The scholastics claim it was their prayers that brought him through. Father Xavier laid no claim to popularity, but there was a steady drifting to his chemis- try class from September to March. That he drilled his class was evidenced on April Fool's Day when he insisted on the existence of ele- ment Q3 to no avail. Every one wished to be librarian this year. Oh, yes Father Fintan took the librarians to Greensburg for a treat.

I-Iis seniors were happy to work lfor him and sang his praises, his sopho- mores worked l'aithlfu11y and received good grades, his freshman Latin class . . . the less said the better. Another hero with the boys is Mr. Rallerty, coach and teacher of math and chemistry. Contrary to custom the juniors rated high in algebra, and, to their dismay, sometimes in jug , i l i t MR. Smrrn Mn. 1lAFFlill'l'Y The Archabbey Church This vear the senior class boasted the largest Honor Roll in history. This may be explained partly by the substitution of social studies for physics by many, and partly oy the thorough teaching methods of Mr. Mcliivigan, whose classes of sociology and political science were always favorites. Favorite , did we say? XfVe hear the juniors proclaim, Mi: Hartung's class , especially when he got his feet wet walking to school. Mn. lNIClC1V1CAN MR. I-Lurrum The Grotto God Bless America Yes, God bless America, the land of the free a11d the home of the brave. Here at St. Vincent as everywhere else we can rise each morning and attend I-Ioly Mass, we can be fortihed daily with the God of all things in our hearts in Holy Communion, we can slip into chapel at any Lime to whisper a prayer for ourselves and loved ones. In the fall some outstanding retreat-master gives the year a good start with the annual retreat. A love for the Mass is encouraged by reciting the common parts with the priest, and under the guidance of Father More, moderator of the St. Aloysius Altar Society, the younger boys are taught to serve at the Altar. Before going out for a debate trip or any other trip, young feet stole into the chapel for three Hail Marys to come back safe, and just as regularly young legs dashed to the prefects table for an extra bite before making the after dinner visit. To the clubroom the boys went periodically -for religion. Yes, for a discussion of some of the practical problems of a young Catholic at a meeting of the Forum. Boy Dates Girl , Lent in Practice and kindred subjects were expounded by Shipley, Moorhead, Toomey, Straub and others who were assisted by those guiding spirits of the Forum . . . Father Hugh and Father Egbert.

Whether one is as small as Jerry Sulli- van or as mighty as Ray Holliger, whether one is an academic luminary like Paul Maher or an athletic star like Pat Mooney, whether one comes from Paris or Cuba like Frenchy and Benigno, or whether one comes from Pitts- bursz' or Portage Iwho has heard of itj like Moorhead and O'Connor he receives the same generous welcome and fair treatment. The Prep is a happy home away from home. At Hrst it seems belittling to study in study- halls and to sleep in dormitories, but what wholesome experiences are derived from com- mon livin '. To study seems eas when ever . Y one else is busy, to have regard for others' lfeel- ings is learned quickly when we expect the same from associates, to enjoy the common merriment when perhaps a prefect leaves up- on occasion. Permeating all is the kindly, sympathetic attitude of the superiors whose one motto is To serve in every way. Seniors Challenge The Future Europe is in mortal conflict. Regardless of who wins the war, a new social order will be l.O1'LllCOl11lHQ'. lt will not be confined to Europeg it will prevail also in our United States where new social leffislation is fast set- ting the pace for a more equitable distribution ol' wealth and a hisrher standard of living for the masses. The new order will not come with- out a Sll'LlQ'Q'lC. There will be discussion and controversy and, we hope, no violent up- rising, a long, bitter period of metamorphosis is ahead. lntelligent leaders are necessary- men who are guided by right principles, men wl1o are imbued with no selfish interests, men who love their country as their God. Such leaders, we believe, are the graduates of 1940. Through l.he years at the Prep, the students have been schooled in the principles of right and happy living. It was early to bed and early to rise, there was little money in the pockets and lfew permissions to go to extrav- agant places. X'Ve lived under the same roof with our God, and we studied under the supervision of I-Iis espoused religious. Ours was a benelicent environment. We gave all we had whether it was as a Kitten or Puppy in football or as a Pussy or Flea in basketball. Ours was a rigorous life. VVe declaimed and debated with the best olf competitors, we acted and sang like our masters taught us, we dressed up for socials, and we observed the amenities olf social convention. Ours was a training lor able leadership and social success. What's ahead of us? l'Vho cares! Vile are prepared. CLASS OFFICERS PresicIe1'zt ........ Patrick F. Mooney V ice-President .......

Wfffff N 5 Q ,Ji sf' Chimes woikersz Shipley, Palazzolo, Editor Sauers, A'Hearn, 0'Connor Around the tenth and twenty-hfth of the month anyone strolling past the typing room can hear a furious pounding of the keys. Sud- denly it stops. The paner is wrenched from the typewriter. The door flies open. lt is no other than Dick A'Hearn, editor of the Journal- ette, as he speeds to the Headmaster's office with a sheaf of copy. VVithout further thought you surmise that the bi-monthly publication of the Journalette is at hand, and the editor is merely making the final copy for the school paper. The Journalette comprises a double-page spread in each issue of the St. Vincent Jour- nal and is maimed by an efficient crew of word-artists. Richard A'I-learn, the editor, spe- cialized in chronicling the varied activities of the Forensic Club, of which he is an active member. Donald Sauers, a budding John Kieran, rolled out the sports events under his masterful hand and effervescent imagination. The junior class commands the Blue and Gold column, lately re-christened Hazard, Yet Forward, in which the daily occurrences of the school year are recorded by Paul Adams and john Keogh. The Agora was faithfully chronicled by Jer- ome Straub. Benigno Gonzalez as circulation manager saw to it that everyone received his lIournalette regularly. The remainder of the Journalette is writ- ten by various contributors, chief of whom are: James Toomey, Philip Skirpan, Robert Hurley, Joseph Bartos, Anthony Palazzolo, Patrick O'Connor, and Bowman Shipley. WRITING Early in September the class was asked to suggest ideas for a theme for the yearbook. Many were submitted, discussed, and The American of Tomorrow , suggested by the editor, D. J. Sauers, was finally accepted. lt took months to work out the division of the volume into the three chapters, The Christian, The Scholar, and The Gentleman, and to lay out the details of each page. Click-click , cameras were snapping all year. A'I-learn, Gon- zalez, Butler, and Marhoefer were some of the many camera enthusiasts whose pictures were incorporated. Fred Mumm was caught on the beach at the lake, the Kittens were taken in action and in their fiercest poses, Seton Hill socials were immortalized in picturesg Finally Mr. Deglau came, posed class groups, trotted all over the campus, climbed up ladders, and fell behind chairs to work his magic through the lens. Long before the dummy was complete the cover was designed. Again editor Sauers was the chief contributor of ideas, and all were happy that each cover was to be padded. The semester tests were scarcely history when each member of the senior class was assigned a section to write. I-lurley did yeo- man's work and is responsible for the articles featuring publications, the dedication, youths' ideals, and the unique presentation of the prophecy in the form of a map. Those fas- cinating sections-Glee Club and Socials- were penned by Toomey. A'Hearn continued as the old reliable with the account of the Forensics. President of the St. Vincent chapter of the National Honor Society, Benigno Gonzalez, saw to it that his co-stars in scholarship, leader- ship, and character were properly featured. Dozens contributed to the athletic section, but Father Norbert was generous with blue pencil and red in focusing attention upon the real highlights of the campus. This genius of countless abilities also saw to it that his glamorous proteges of Bede I-Iall received due recognition in the senior section. Many a MAKETI-I AN EXACT MAN time and oI't during public speaking hours and other sessions each senior wrote about his favorite teacher to compile an interesting opening section. There will be no ads this year, but instead I Wklllt 200 patrons which is a quota of three Ifor each senior, said Father Edmund about March lirst, The response was not too satis- factory at first, but, as days rolled by and pressure was poured on, each laggard forgot about George doing it and the goal was well nigh reached in a grand hnale. May was a nightmare for the editor and his assistants. The Chimes seems to be a tradi- tional 'rush job', wrote editor Sauers in the journalette and then soliloquized in the olft repeated words ol? the I-Ieadmaster, Vile always do our best work under pressure. If this is true, the IQLLO Chimes should be a masterpiece. At the beginning of the second quarter, the annual essay contest sponsored by the Pitts- burgh Catholic was announced to the junior and Senior English classes. The subject for the essay was Clean Read- ing and the Catholic Press . Advice on or- ganization of the material and planning the treatment of the subject was given by Mr. Louis Smith, teacher of English, under whose direction the competition was conducted. The boys did some heavy thinking on the subject and about a week before the deadline put their crystallized thoughts on paper. The judges of the contest, teachers of the Prep and newspapermen from Pittsburgh, selected the essay of Robert Hurley as the best, and he was awarded the Gold Medal and his name was engraved on the Pittsburgh Catholic Trophy. Donald Sauers and Bernard Shannon received Honorable Mention. Reading proofs: A'I-learn, Toomey, Shipley J0llI'll?llCllC editor, A'l-learn, with Mr. I-Iartung jonrnaletlc meeting in 41 J.

L' in ,au 1 41, , NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY During the winter months the Headmaster had been kept at his nerves ends with the rush of forensic activities, with jug sessions for delinquents, and with write-ups for the Chimes and journalette . Accordingly he was not passing out many bouquets. When he rose at table, March 7 and summoned a goodly group to report in his olhce after chapel hearts were heavy and heads were low. Even the cheery invitation, Smile , hanging in the ollice did not dispose the gloom which prevailed when the Headmaster walked in. You boys , he began, and the atmosphere was icy . . . have been selected as members of the National Honor Society. Clapping, slapping and glad furore interrupted.

The VV est View Tournament with its disastrous results was next. THEY SWAYED January began with debates before the as- sembly at St. Thomas, Braddock, a chicken dinner at Shadows in Homestead, and then a party at lvlunhall High. Oh, yes, we did debate there too. The Little Six Conference began. Old Bess was crowded as she chugged to Mfest Newton, Ligonier, Derry Twp., Franklin Twp., and Hurst. Sauers and Hurley received gold medals at the Allegheny College banquet at Ligonier. At the Mclieesport Tournament Adams and Ucher arrived on the B and O- a half hour late-an argument in lfavor of Government ownership, said Pep. At the County Tournament at Derry Twp., the Prep teams, Toomey and Hurley as alhr- matives, and Shipley and Sauers as negatives, tripped Monessen in the Finals and took the championship. The same teams continued their stride at the Penn State district tourna- ment, April 13, when the Prep was the only school that went through undefeated. Throughout the season, the Prep teams en.- gaged in about ninety debates.

The Derry Twp. tournament re- vealed Jenkins as a winner with Night Must Fall , and Phil Skirpan set the pace at Center- ville where the Prep carried away 23 lirst and second places in 30 contests. Glassport was not so propitious, however in the district pre- liminaries at Charleroi and Monesseng the prepstcrs came thru with nine out of ten con- testants for the semi-Gnal at Duquesne Univer- sity, Pittsburgh, April 20. There Shipley won the big, red banner, for the lirst place in the linals in oratorical cleclamation and Hurley surprised the crowd when he won the banner in ex-temp. That old chestnut Spartan's Address to the Gladiators was Shipley's winning oration. Pat O'Connor was the dark horse of the sea- son with his consistent winnings with The Button in dramatics. ln Humorous declama- tions Dick A'l-learn gave One Dollar, One Swallcr , and Sauers contested with Let's All Be Foolish .

Both Shipley and A'l-learn were nominated as Speaker, and the Republicans put the gavel in the hands of Midland Dick. Skirpan and Adams were other members of the House, and Meyers and Shannon ran errands as pages. YV ith no cloud in the sky, and not a Worry in the heart, Shipley, A'I-learn, Hurley, and Father Edmund drove to Terre Haute, Sun- day, April 28, where Shipley competed in Oratorical Declamation, A'Hearn spoke and laughed and jived in the I-louse, and Hurley showed his eloquence in the Senate.

The two outstanding presentations were the Christmas Carols and the operetta, and the three memorable personalities were Father Ralph and his baton, Father Egbert and his pencil, and Father Bonaventure and his cigar. The school year had scarcely dawned when the club reorganized with Pat O'Connor as president, Jimmie Toomey as vice-president, Don Sauers as secretary, and Pat Mooney as librarian. Rehearsals soon began and the old maxim, practice makes perfect, was applied with viqor. lfVeeks of do-re-mi-ing brought results. Before the X'Vomen's Professional Club at Derry, before the l'Vomen's Auxiliary of the Latrobe Hospital at the home of Mr. E. T. Edwards, and in the college auditorium at St. Vincent rounds of applause thrilled the com- Josephme 'md Napoleon GAY GOWNS AND LIGHT HEARTS bined Qlee clubs of Seton Hill Academy and the Prep when they sang their Christmas pro- gram. Then at YVCAE, Pittsburgh, the calm, assuring announcing' of Cliff Daniels brought conlidence, no mike-fright, and a well re- ceived program . . . and a treat at Childs. XfVhile Jingle Bells was still in season a rehearsal was called. T he Christmas pro- gram was play compared to this, warned Father Ralph and he was right. Ma-mi-ma mi was a new warming up exercise. It soon grew old with frequent rehearsals. Seton Hill became almost a daily occurrence either in the Studebaker Convertiblen, in Bo's La Salle, or in battle-scarred Bessie , the Prep Chevy. Swords and Scissors was the operetta. The Ladies at the court of Napoleon wished new gowns for the Ball, and when the Em- peror refused, the Empress schemed to bring The Grenadiers BRING SONGS AND LOVE DABTS Moreau, a tailor, to the court. But the De- tectives mistook him for Moreau, the Em- peror's arch-enemy, and the resulting com- plications brought confusion, pathos. humor galore, and eventually-new gowns. The last week rushed in. Father Bonaventure pleaded for attention, Father Edmund cried out in anguish, so did Sister Mary Felix, but Tubby', Bannon continued his twinkle-toe dancing, and everyone was out of step, but Montgomery.

Sauers sang like a Caruso, Toomey was indeed the great Moreau. The defectives, pardon us, the de- tectives were the clowns of the show. Soon-too soon-it was over. Down in the cafeteria the highlights were recalled between bites of sandwiches and sips of coffee. The girls and boys expressed their appreciation to Father Ralph, Father Bonaventure and Sister Ann Regina, and Sister Francesca thanked all.

I-IUNGERMAN RED BLOODED AMERICANS THROUGH ATHLETICS Coach Bill Rafferty The Prep School takes great pride in its athletic program. The very first day the boys arrive, they can be seen lined up to receive their football equipment, all set to compete for one of the four teams sponsored by the Prep School-the Bearkittens, the Bearpussies, the Bearpussy Fleas and the Bearpuppies. Each team is fully equipped and plays its own schedule of games. Very few indeed are the boys who fail to take part. The Bearkittens are the Prep Varsity, a scrappy outfit, well coached and well drilled by a perfect gentleman and an excellent tutor. The Prep is justly proud of the athletic leader it has in Bill Rafferty who has been doing a splendid job of coaching since he came in 1934. His teams have gained the respect of every coach in the district and the sportsmanship with which he imbues his boys, has made schedule making a real pleasure. Year after year the Kittens play more representative teams and the Prep is rightly proud of its gridiron heroes. Father Norbert as Athletic Director and Mr. Hungerman as Trainer com- plete the athletic setup. 54 ,WJ-gun ,.,..,. The second of the four teams sponsored is known as the Puppies. This group comprises boys whose ability is not on a par with their enthusiasm. They play the game because they love it. Under the able tutelage of Guy Segatti and joe Patrick, Bearcat standouts, the Puppies have risen in prominence from year to year. Stepping into the junior department of the Prep School, we Gnd the same ideal con- ditions prevailing. Practically every boy is active on one ol' the two squads. The more prominent ol' the two-the Bearpussies-can justly be termed the Junior Varsity. The fourth team, whose name sufhciently indicates its identity, is known as the Bearpussy Fleas. They go through their paces together with their older and bigger brothers-the Pussies. Many a Bearkitten hero had his humble be- ginning as a Pussy or pernaps even as a Flea. The earnestness and seriousness with which these groups go about their work in order to acquaint themselves with the difficult Notre Dame style of play is enough to thrill the heart of any coach and spectator. Double re- : The Stadium verses, difficult laterals, spinners and end runs are beautifully executed by these aspirants to gridiron glory. Too much credit cannot be given to their young and energetic coaches, VValter Strosser, one of tl1e Hnest athletes and characters ever to wear a St. Vincent uniform, and his able assistant, John Mataruski, stellar Bearcat guard. In basketball, the School is again repre- sented by the Bearkittens and Bearpussies. Both squads play a twenty game schedule with the leading Catholic teams and district teams for miles around. More than a thousand miles are covered each year traveling to play teams who are leaders and champions in their re- spective divisions. Intramural basketball cares for those not engaged in varsity work, and leagues in base- ball and mushball occupy the Prepsters dur- ing their closing months at school. These activities together with tennis, golf and hand- ball give the Prep School an All-American rating in the athletic world. 55 Front row-Spine, Joe Kessler, Thayer, Roadman, Wilson, O'Connor, Karl, Shipley, Mooney, Carraher, Second row-Mgr. lvlarhoerfer,Crain, Sinkey, DeCarbo, Jack Kessler, McManus, Carr, Thahnan, Trangh, Gessler, Assistant Manager A'1-learn.

PBEPSTEBS HAVE BRILLIANT SEASON A few bad breaks plus the inexperience of a green team spelled the iirst defeat of the 1939 season Friday night, Sept. 15, when the Mountaineers of Ligonier High School took over the Bearkittens, 12-19. Twice did the Little Cats come from behind to score. The first touchdown was registered by Walt Traugh on a 13 yard end run while the second marker was made by Andy Karl, Prep right hall, on a center plunge from the one yard stripe. O'Connor, Shipley, and Palazzolo were outstanding on the defense as the visitors were unable to gain an advantage through the line and took to the air on three separate occa- sions to score. Unleashing a power attack in the hrst and third quarters, the Blue and Gold took the measure of St. Peter's I-Iigh of McKeesport 20-2, Sept. 24th. Markovich scored the first two touchdowns while Don Sinkey accounted for the thirdg Crain registered the two con- versions. October first proved the highlight of the 1939 seasong St. Mary's ol? the Mount was the opponent, the place, the Bearcat Stadium. Playing with a determination to break the Mounties Five year winning streak, the Blue and Gold accomplished their end by defeat- ing St. Marys, 32-6. The Bearkittens out- classed their traditional rivals in every phase of the game and at no time were in danger. Due credit must be given to the luminaries, Thalman, Sinkey, and lvlarkovich. Markovich scored two markers while Sinkey and T halman registered one each, and both starred on the defense. Again playing championship ball, the chargers of Coach Rafferty made it three straight by defeating the Green and VVhite of St. Justin, I8-6, Sunday, Oct. 8. The Prep dark horse , X'Valt Traugh, to the amazement of all, came through for two touchdowns- one a 35 yard cutback, and the other a 23 yard dash. The Bearkittens defeated Youngwood I-Iigh, Westmoreland County Class B champs, to the tune of 26-0 in their second game under the lights, Oct, 13. Neither Friday, the thirteenth, nor the superior size of the Railroaders made any difference to the Blue and Gold in their fourth win of the season. The pep and support of 2500 fans in Point Stadium gave the Johnstown Catholic4Crusad- ers a well earned 13-o victory, Sat., Oct. 21. As one of the squad members remarked, We were up for the game too, but only up to 56 l K 1 T T 13 N s Iolmstownf' The Flood City boys got off to at quick start. '1'l1ey took the opening kick-off to l.he go yard stripe and then carried tl1e oval across alter a series ol' line plunges. On the return kick-oll' the Blue and Gold also con- nected-ahnost. Crain took the ball out of the air and then drove Go yards across tl1e goal, but the wl1istle had blown earlier. In the third quarter Yarchak broke through a stubborn Prep line and dashed lor a second counter. Then came the banquet at St. -Ioseplfs that eased the sting ol' defeat. Father I-Ierbe1't's proverbial hospitality outdid itsellf on this occasion. rllllCl C was chicken, wallles, salad, fruit-enough for twice the number. Father Herbert told how he had to evade the police to get the chickens, and Fatlier Edmund and Father Tom Cawley, Johnstown Principal and erstwhile Vincentian hero, added their trib- utes. Mayor Shields then stole tl1e show. Three ol' his police entered and arrested Sin- key, G. Bannon, and Badaracco for disturbing the peace. The Mayor gave one of his great speeches . . . finally exonerated the boys, and every one lel't happy and grateful. lnclement weather and the poor condition of the playing Held caused the Blue and Gold aggregation to cancel two games-Hurst High, and a trip to Morgantown, YV. Va. to meet St. Francis. Old Man Sol finally did permit tl1e l5earkittens to play their last game of the l939 season, Nov. 12, when Coach Rallferty's Chargers met W'ashington I.C. 'lor tl1e Hrst time and came through with a 20-0 victory. This contest brought not only an end to the Bearkitten season but also marked the end of the secondary school careers 'of 23 seniors of tl1e 28 members of the squad.

Captains watch the toss The record of the Puppies in 1939 showed three wins, three losses and one tie. Consider- ing that the p2lSt season was only the second for the Puppies, the work of coaches Guy Segatti and Joe Patrick stands out as all the more noteworthy. In the opening game, the Puppies nosed out a Iiashy eleven known as VVest Latrobe. The score was 7-o. The next game showed the plucky Pups on the long end of the score with Kessler Terrors, 7-0. Youngstown A. C., a fast and rugged team, proved too much for even a hghting Pup eleven, and they bit the dust, 26-0. Hitting their winning ways again, the FOOTBALL FOR MANY Puppies submerged the Pussies of Maur I-Iall by a lone touchdown in the first of the two civil war battles. It was a hard fought struggle from beginning to endg the superior weight of the Puppies being the deciding lfactor. Derry Township reserves romped off with a 33-0 verdict. The Puppies were no match for their bigger and more experienced opponents. In the return game with the Pussies the con- dition of the held permitted neither team to score, and, in the final game of the year, the Varsity second team ran through the hapless Pups almost at will, winning 31-o. Mfhile it might be a bit unfair to mention stars of this Puppy aggregation, the work of Sheedy and Straub, who acted as captains, to- gether with I-Ieck, Garde, Kane, and McGrath, helped to turn the tide in favor of their team on more than one occasion.

P U P P I E S '58 FUN FUR ALL VVhen Managers Bill Ucker and John Keogh were loaded down with everything from shoe- laces to pliers, one knew the 'Pussies were hard at work. Coaches Strosser and Mataruski were preparing 28 stalwarts for a ten-game schedule. Strosser smiled lrom ear to ear as Kloos and Sundry skirted the ends for gains, and Matar- uski spat large gobs of tobacco in utter glee as his forward wall charged like veterans. Holy Family from Latrobe was the first vic- tim, 12-6. I-loly Innocents' from -Pittsburgh fell by the same score as Strosser's backs crossed the line twice. Then came the Puppy game-al- ways a bitter one. The Pussies threatened, but that was all. The final score was 6-o in favor of the Puppies, although the validity of the score is much disputed. West Latrobe paid for the Puppy victory when they were handed an 18-6 defeat. Coaches Strosser and Mataruski The Youngwood uniors were a skirmish for the subs. The lirst team set a comfortable mar- gin, then watched their younger mates better the lead to 2'l-6. St. Bernard's from Pittsburgh proved a tough aggregation, a nip-and-tuck battle resulted in a scoreless tie. Then the sec- ond Puppy game. In a sea of mud, a deter- mined Pussy team met a determined Puppy team, and the result was a determined score, O-O. In the remaining games, Y'Vilmerding won to the tune of 12-6, but St. Cyri1's was swamped 24-7. A scoreless tie with W'ilmerding Ly- ceum ended the season with 5 wins, 2 losses, and 3 ties. , Front row-Sullivan. XV. I-Iartnelt, T. Hartnett, Petroskey, Sundry, D. Bannon, Benson, R.

The enjoyable time at Pat Mooney's home after t11e game took away some of the sting. The Gold and Blue hit their winnin ' stride against Derry Twp., taking them intog camp, 23-16. St. Mary's of the Mount was the second victim of the Kittens, losing 29-23, a11d this without t11e services of the Prep coach who was at home with a severe cold!

A return game with St. Marys olf the Mount was played in the gymg tl1e hrst of its kind in years. The Prep triumphed 34-21. In a post seaso11 game at Derry Boro. tl1e Prep closed its abbreviated season with a brilliant 34-32 vic- tory. 62 DOES NOT TELL I-IA The Pussies of 194.0 have every reason to be proud of their great 1'CCOl'Cl--'14 wins and 5 losses. In Meyers, W inschel, Adams, Kloos, and D. Bannon, Coach Strosser had a formid- able conibination, which reflected the earnest work and effort, ol' their tutor. Export proved too much when they handed the Pussies an 18-16 loss in an overtime period. Ligonier was tumbled, 34-18, when Adams and lfVinschcl garnered 20 points between them. For the second ti1ne, Export proved its superiority, t.his time 20-13. Blairsville felt the sting of a comeback when they were laced 27-9 in tl1e gym. The Strosserites continued on the warpath when they gave the Latrobe Novices a 25-9 shellacking. But Jeannette soon stopped tl1e winning streak. They won an overtime contest 40-39 with VVil1SCi1C1 featuring with 16 points. Lig- onier was taken into camp a second time, 22-17, and the Blue Basketeers from Latrobe were thumpcd 21-9 as the winning streak ex- tended. Going to Blairsville for a return game, the Pussies made it two in a row with a 36-13 victory. Mr. and Mrs. Sundry, parents of Vince of the Pussy squad, served a delicious lunch after the game.

LF TI-IE STORY Jeannette won its second game from the Pussies by the close margin of two points, 25-23. Meyers held the spotlight with 10 points. One of the finest victories of the season was won from the Pittsburgh Celtics, 37-29. The visitors consisted of a number of ex-high school players. In the twelfth game, the Lig- onier junior class was taken into camp to the tune of 14-11. Then came a real 1'llZlSSZlCI'C-104 points in two games! Holy Family was defeated 51-24, and Shieldsburg 53-S. St. John's from Union- town was the next victim, Meyers scored 14 points in the 29-5 win. In one of the most thrilling games of the year, the Pussies bagged Ligonier Junior Class for the second time in an extra period 24-22. Then came the Shamrock game-always a nip-and-tuck affair. The mighty Irish fell when their smaller opponents won a well deserved victory, 24-22. But disaster was ahead. The ex-Juniors turned tables in a hard fought bat- tle, 20-17. As a Fitting climax to a great season, Coach Strosser had the distinction of being the lirst coach to lead his team to victory over the Scholastics. The score, 16-10, shows how tight the game was both offensively and defensively. Front row-Mooney, Thayer, Spino, Bartos, Kane. Middle row-Thalman, Trangh, O'Neill, I-lartman, Toner, Sinkey.

Five teams comprised the senior league this year-the Champion Shamrocks under Captain Gerard Bannon, the Angels headed by Tom Sheedy, the Psychogenetics captained by Dick A'I-learn, the Outlaws under the piracy of ,Ioe Gilmore, and Palazzolds Polecats. Basketball is always at its best in these spec- tacular contests. One-handed shots go in from either side of the court, pot shots from mid- lloor sail through the hoop with deadly accu- racy. Captain Bannon of the Shamrocks car- ried his knees around his chin when going to the back court after he had garnered an im- portant 2 pointer. And who will ever forget Angels-Sheedy, Shcllig, Redding, Marhoefer, Straub. Day-hops-Winlerhalter, 'l hon1as, Mnrkovich, J. Kessler, SCl'ClllCl. Outlaws-Kenney. Uzenski, Gilmore, l-Ieck, Good. Seated-O'Connor, G. Bannon. Standing-DeCarbo, McGrath, Sauers. the agile Psychogenetics as tl1ey cavorted on the court, the darling Angels as they bent their heads in an earnest Hail M ary-in recompense for some previous lapsus linguae-the danger- ous Outlaws, who knew no rules and played accordingly, and last, but not least, Palazzolds famous Polecats who failed to claw a single opponent! A great league which Filled many a dull period, one worth its weight in gold! The ultimate winners were the Shamrocks, repeat- ers in 1938 and 1,939 Thrice champions with no possibility of dethronement-they graduate in June, all of them. Captain Gerard Bannon, O'Connor, McGrath, DeCarbo, and .Sauers have the best wishes of the Bush Leaguers as they seek for further laurels in the game of life.

Butler, Christ, Overberger, Takach, Dumm, Not so very late in September, the pigskin began to sail through the air as King Foot- ball took reign over the Scholasticate in sports. Football came and passed rapidly through several weeks, and many outstanding flashes were introduced such as Andres with his famous tail block, Cotter with his one handed catches, Sedlacko hurling unerring passes, Sable outdistancing all in the race for the goal, and Coughlin backing up the enemy with his punts. Bad weather soon displaced the autumn months, and the Scholastics were forced to find enjoyment in the buildings. Prince Bas- ketball soon ruled the Kingdom of Sport. ROUND TI-IE YEAR After a short practice league, the teams were permanently chosen, and the Scholastics were off to the tune of the swishing net. Welsl1's team overcame all others to forge ahead and capture the pennant because of the unerring aim of Sedlacko. The first league was over with a rush, and, since there was plenty of time left to play, a post-season league was started. This league furnished thrills for all due to the erring ways of the Dishwashers , who came out on top in the B division of the league, and Destry's Riders , comprised of Dead Center Andres, Toss 'em in Kovack, Scrapper Bridge, lfVhitey Sedlacko, and Destry Coughlin, ON THE WAY TO CLASS Butler, Conghlin, Baker l-lcrtig, Sable, Beck Dnmm, Cotter, Smetana Grom. P. Breimlel WITH TI-IE SCHOLASTICS who came out on top in the A division with- out losing a game. Soon, however, it was time for Queen Base- ball to reign, and the crack of the bat re- placed the swish of the net. This year's league showed many outstanding players, among whom Slugger Coughlin stood out in all his pomp and glory with a batting average of .35o, Cotter could have given Lou Gehrig some pointers on how to cover the initial sack, while Sable stood out as an unerring man at the hot corner. The keystone sack combination of Sedlacko and Beck could not be equaled in the majors. The opposing batters had a hard time trying to find Andres' deliveries, not to mention, trying to hit them. M ushball was ushered in with a cheery wel- come from all. Dumm at second and Baker at shortstop had the situation well in hand, while Butler covered first base. lt was a sure out to pop one to Pliester or I-Iertig, who chased the bunnies witl1 alacrity. Volley ball, a new sport among the Scholas- tics, was ushered in with extraordinary wel- come by those who had no desire to play baseball. The courts were cleared with the co- operation of the boys, and soon the cry of set it up was heard over the Scholastic hill. Cling! Clang! the horseshoe encircles the peg and the onlookers cheer because Butler linall made a rin er. Y S Handball also reigns supreme with several of the boys and the old handball courts still ring with their cheery cries. In accordance with the custom in the Scho- lasticate, the junior class dug low into their pockets and pulled for a splendid treat for the seniors. Songs, games, and hearty eats wel- comed the jolly seniors. Tom Schaut held forth as chairman. The big feature of the evening was the pop-drinking contest which was a close race between Tom Sable, Joe Beck, James Pfiester, and Tom Coughlin, but the latter won by a sip . IN WORK AND PLAY Here comes the pitch An easy afternoon Friends One of the gangs Side line umps A fall frolic Oh, dear Morning exercise Raspberries from junior trio here VVitl1 shouts of merriment, the boys of the senior clubroom welcomed with open arms the niidseason shindig . The audience wiped tears of laughter from their eyes after wit- nessing Pop Brennan's modern version of Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol , which starred the author as the Christmas Fairy and Badger Marron as Scrooge. Father Marcian acted as master of ceremonies and kept the meeting lively with his timely jokes and witty remarks. The Glee Club of the Scholasticate scored a never-to-be-forgotten hit with their vocal selections, thanks to the able direction of james I-Ialloran. Suitable weather has permitted another sport to enter into the activities of the Scho- lastics, namely, tennis, and this year a league has been formed to add to the enjoyment of the sport. 'VVith the hearty cooperation of the prefects, the boys played it with much vim and vigor for they felt the presence of something behind it. The best dressed player was Father Austin, Garred held the distinction of having the most form, and Beck was a man to be feared. The winner of the pot has not yet been determined. Thanks to the generosity of Father Nor- bert, who supplied a table, the Scholastics enjoyed a new pastime during the long winter months. Ping-pong was played fast and fur- ious, and every boy had a chance to show his skill. Good sportsmanship was shown through- out the entire season. The Arch-Cotter com- bination was very elfective against all other possible combinations. Finally, the spring sea- son beckoned, and the ping-pong season ended with a bang. The day of all days is a 'free day', is the sentiment expressed by most of the Scholastics. These days are looked forward to by all. A free day is usually the reason for a hike, and the hikes are what make free days free. All the boys leave out sighs of grief as a free day draws to a close.
