To the Graduates of 1939: As you complete your high school years you feel the satisfaction of accomplishment, a prideful pleasure which is shared by all who have a sincere interest in you. We con- gratulate you. It is our prayer that in the years of your Catholic training you have come to know and value genuine and last- ing success. We hope that on the road of life you will not permit yourselves to be diverted by the pleasures of the wayside, but that you will travel straight to your goal. May your suc- cess in every phase of life be such that you will merit before the judgment seat of God the accolade of good and faithful servant. lY't'f't'I'i'lIIf Ht'1'11i11'1f Tfnzfm' .I.v,wl',vl1lr1f N1lpr1'i1fIrinlf,1t Page Seven .tle C Wrm Father Thomson - 'l 'f ' ln l93l South Side Catholic High School be- came a part of the St. Louis Diocesan High School Association. This system, formed in l9ll with the Kenrick High School for boys, now includes the South Side Catholic, William Cullen McBride and Hosati-Kain high schools. The direction of such a system demands cease- less energy and constant perseverance, such as can be given only by a man of quality like the Reverend Alfred G. Thomson, its superin- tendent. Through his efforts and the efforts of his predecessors, the diocesan high schools have gained the highest recognition of the State University and the North Central Asso- ciation. xjf ,nfl z fs J Y

Ollie C QPICDTW Brother John Hettich. B.A.. l'1'rt'-f1'i11t'ifwl tum' Y'1't't1.t'11t't'1' Brother Iohn came to South Side this year as vice- principal, chief of the exchequer, controller of the stationery department, and instructor in mathe- matics. He brought to his offices seven years of experience in principalship and thirty-four in teaching with a smile. Brother lolin is not above unlimbering his dignity to umpire an impromptu baseball game or play at words with some sprouting wit. Reverend Iohn Dockter. M.A., blmfiltrfzi Before his transfer to McBride at the end of the first semester, Father Dockter, simple eager thorough, served as South Side's chaplain Father was titular teacher of Senior A and energciic moderator of the Central Committee. His bi weekly spiritual bulletins furnished stimulating subiect matter for the Catholic Action meetings in every class. He was the constant power behind the record food drive at Christmas. . Sclool Ollie... Reverend Alfred Rube, M.A., fllltlfftlfll Although he came to South Side in Septem- ber to rest from his duties as president of St. Marys University, since the Christmas holidays good-natured Father Babe, titular teacher of Senior D, has performed the added duties of school chaplain and director of the Central Committee. His sincerity, understand- ing and unalloyed cheerfulness have made him one of the most popular teachers in the upper divisions of the school. Brother William Schneider. B.A.. !t't'yff.t-mfr' Most of the seniors and Juniors are familiar with him as the Boyal High Distributor of Tardy Slips and pungent commentator on excuses. Certain of the sophomores know him better as a penetrating Latin instructor. Many Hhookiesf' call him Renfrew because he always gets his man. Everyone sees in him a serious but genial religious and ver- satile teacher who, unlike Achilles, is univer- sally foolproof. Purge Eight
