1 v V A: y :lr . GAIL MATTHEW ACKERT, JY. Seattle, Washington When Windy entered Prep from St. Cather- ine's in 1944, he at once set out to make a name for himself in Athletics. As a freshman he was a member of the Swimming club and earned a position on the Cub football team. He made the Soph-Frosh team as a sophomore and advanced to the Second team as a junior. His crowning glory was his varsity rating as a senior. Also as a senior he joined the ranks of the Letterman Club. W JOHN PHILLIP AUGHNAY Seattle, Washington Entering from St. Mary's as a freshman, Phil at once showed his mental prowess and rated the honor roll his first year. He also joined the Sodality as a freshman, and was a member for all four years. During the summers, Phil relaxes at Longacres, keeping up' the attendance. His ambition for later life is to be a bookie like my Grandpa. Phil's well-known favorite expression LUCIUS ANTHONY AVERY Seattle, Washington Luscious came to Prep from St. Joseph's in 1944. He chose the Sodality as his main diversion from school work, being a Sodalist in his junior and senior years. Always trying to do two things at once, Luscious wants to build a theatre with a swimming pool, so he can enjoy both relaxations at once. He has an enviable hobby, it being vaca- tions at Arrowhead. The phrase most frequently used by Tony is gee, I'm nervous. if is why should I tell you. ' 1 , L 5 fi- ,fw m4,g j A 'fit' If 1 f, si? VJ ,V A Q .

OF 1948 large part, the name of Seattle Prep on our shoulders. With that rule in mind, we undertook responsibilities and set our goals. With eager determination we plunged into the fight both extracurricular and academic. But even with such interests we still found time to forget our worries. IIIA President Dustin and Moderator Mr, Tag gave the boys in room 3 many an interesting time, although many triple fines and broken backs were sustained. Murphy and Mr. Patterson led IIIB while Dick Sullivan stopped in our class long enough to be prexy of IIIC, guided by Fri Renner. The first evidence of the task of juniors lay on the gridiron as eight of the first eleven starters were third year men. The names of Harris, John Sullivan, McAteer, Ursino, Hevly and Coles began to appear on the roster as other junior subs swelled the ranks of the Letterman Club. But the greatest success of that '46 season was in the prowess of Laing and Hughbanks and their mud Leaguers with their rainy weather pigskin exhibitions. Dick Sullivan and Holmes were vital cogs in the casaba machinery as basket- ball season came and went. Spring found Fischer, Malone, Graaf, and Ursino taking to the diamond along with Burns and Kokesh. It was mainly through the efforts and success of Ghiglione, ,john Sullivan, Furey, Lucker, and Bob Drew as thinclads that track became so popular at Prep. But our achievements were by no means limited to athletics alone. Hentschell took over the Sodality as Prefect and boosted stock in that organization as Murphy and O'Brien gave new renown to the Seattle Prep Panther as co-editors. In public speaking Enthoven, Lucid, and O'Neill stand out, as Prep once more dominated that field. Lane was the first of our number to win a writing contest as he copped the Apologetics Medal and Brown loomed top hgure in the Harlequins. Chairman Malone handled the ,junior Prom. As all these events had come and gone, our third chapter drew rapidly to a close. As we saw our seniors leave forever the halls of Adelphia, we realized with that same determination that we were now in the drivers' SC2lt. It was up to us. Spurred on with this realization we elected Dustin to the role of President of the A. S. S. P. with Burns and Scholtes leading the Letterman and Panther Clubs, confident that our hard work would write the greatest book of all in The Story of Seattle Prep. Ghaapiw 4 In the final chapter we are seniors at last. As we reach this, the climax of our high school career, the days toward which we have been striving for three long years begin to lose their length and as we reminisce, we are half way tempted to wish that we were beginning rather than concluding our high school days. But we are not yet through. There are still battles to be fought and victories to be won. So with this do or die spirit, we began our fourth and seemingly shortest year. We began the campaign with industry, electing Coles as prexy of IVA, Cunz for IVB, and Lucid for IVC, as Fathers Logan, McDonnell, and Lanphier, acted as moderators in the classroom, as ASSP prexy Dustin started the wheels of government rolling. The football team maintained a better average record in tough competi- tion as Hentschell, Douglas and Harper received all state honors. The maple floor burners again upped Prep's athletic renown as Holmes, Douglas, Burrington, McAteer, Siffer- man, Burns and Malone earn varsity stripes. But again we missed the State Tourney by a single point. The Tennis and Baseball squads prepare for successful seasons as Smith returned to aid the cause of the racket men and Burns and Kokesh led the moundmen. But Adelphia owes the metal ware in the trophy case to the public speakers as these Prepsters have actually dominated the state. The tourna- ments of Seattle College, Gonzaga, C. P. S. and W. S. C. found Prep in general and Kaufer, Enthoven, Lucid and O'Neill in particular lead the field with six first and nine second place trophies. Between trips to the oflice, the latter two gentlemen managed to be prominent in State Public Speaking contests. In the held of dramatics two successful productions were staged with Marier and Brown taking the leads. Even in studies the class of '48 has written great things as Powers and Enthoven prepare to graduate with 4.000 grade point averages, a feat very few Prepsters accomplish. But not even all these victories can slow the sands of time, but on the contrary, seem to speed them on. As we see the Prom come and go, as we see Prep Night come and- go, as we see the juniors elect new leaders to fill our places, we realize that such scenes were the last which we will witness. No longer will we fill those desks we covered with our names, which such a short time ago had seemed like cells. No longer will we stroll the hallowed halls of the Miller St. Madhousef' No longer will we be called students of Seattle Prep. How well Virgil could express our emotionsH Forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit eyes, already it pleases us to remember those burdens. As we march from Church after the Baccalaureate Mass followed by our teachers who have molded our destinies these past years, we find ourselves surrounded by our friends who have become endeared to us through close association. As we leave that school in which we spent our four happiest years, we are unable to express ourselves and struggle to say a sincere- thank you. eancludan To many this might seem the end of this Volume Fifty in the story, and if it were it would be a sad conclusion as the parting of dear friends always is. But rather than conclusion there seems to be a rebirth. As we view the sunset of our high school careers, we seem to face the dawn of a World before us. For we do not lose our old friends, but rather increase their number. We do not leave behind our teachers but rather take them with us in the knowledge which they have imparted. We do not leave our Alma Mater, as we pass for the last time through her portals, but rather does she lead us even more intimately over the high- ways of life. Whatever the future may hold for us, whatever the troubles there are in the world about us, or whatever may be our profession, we shall always cherish a special love for our teachers and for our friends that typilies the spirit of that school to which we shall ever ascribe our names as loyal sons. If we remember that spirit, and trust in God-we shall succeed. And may our deeds be as golden as her jubilee is golden and ever to her glory.
