William Siemer came to South Side in '39, Dragon athletics gained a new impetus. As athletic director and varsity football, baseball, and basketball coach, Brother Bill has achieved great success. This year he also served as President of the Prep League, and the complicated lot of arranging schedules fell upon his capable shoulders. Despite his many duties, Brother Bill found time to see to it that Dragon athletic teams were among the best-outfitted in the district. As athletic director, Bro. Siemer had under him a staff of talented assistants. Mr. lean Stapenhorst, a recent graduate of Dayton University, came to South Side last tall as a teacher, coach of varsity football, and co-coach of varsity basketball. Dragon athletes have since acclaimed him as one of the most popular and efficient coaches. It is the duty of Bro. lames Powers to provide new and experienced ma- terial every year for the varsity grid squad. He does a masterful job of this with his consistently good B teams. Mr. lames Zipf, a former Dragon gridder, ably assisted Bro. lames in coaching this year's B aggregation. Bro. lames is also director of South Side's highly successful boxing tournaments. Full credit for the excellence of Dragon boxers must be given to their coach, Mr. loseph Herbst, who has done a great job in building up the sport at South Side. Full honors and credit are also due Bro. Henry Collins for his excellent C team 1 basketball coaching, Bro. Gerard Knuth for his efficient care of minor athletic injuries, and Mr. Monken for his trans- portation facilities. fN Page Tflllfy S11 r f

When South Side s varsity football team lost Bill Kennealy co-captain and veteran center in the second game of the season it was a great loss indeed and probably the chief reason for the season record of two wins one tie and six losses. Needless to say however the Dragons never lost their fighting spirit. Prep League play proved unfruitful for South Side. St. Louis U. High considered by many to have been the best team in the district administered a 32-O shellacking to the Dragons in the League opener. C.B.C. co-champion with the lunior Bills followed suit with a 35-O victory later in the season. A series of bad breaks enabled McBride to hold the Dragons to a O-O tie in the final League game. Non-league competition afforded the Dragons two places in the win column while adding four more losses to the record. Pass defense a major Dragon weakness cost South Side its season s opener to Southwest 20-7. The Dragons however tightened up considerably in the next game, and submerged Central, 12-O. McKinley, sporting a huge team, trounced South Side the following week-end, 32-O. Another loss was added to the books when St. Peter of lefferson City utilized determination and a muddy field to win, 12-2. The last defeat of the season was sustained when Maplewood passed its way to a 20-6 victory. Determined not to lose the season's final game, the Dragons took on Central Catholic and emerged with a hard- fought 12-6 win. I ago Thzfty Iwghl
