F ,ather John Aherne, O.S.A. Father William McDermott, O.S.A. Foreword It is with a mingled teeling ot accomplishment and ot sorrow that we the Seniors ot '45 undertake the compilation ot this annual. Accomplish- ment, in that we have successtully completed the course ot studies pre- scribed tor us, and sorrow by virtue ot the tact that this publication marks the end ot our high scho-ol career and the happy memories associated with it. lt is altogether titting that we should endeavor in the 'Following pages to set down a record, in black and white, ot our short but happy stay at Saints. ln the uncertain years to come it is our tervent wish that this annual may serve as .a means ot renewing many happy memories ot hours spent around the patio. May this annual, and others like it, with the tamiliar names, and places, and pictures it contains serve as a link with home to the many Saintsmen on the tar-tlung battletronts ot the world. 'S K f 'M ,I ,, 'S . wi h ,m.k ma u ,. Y You are entering that section ot the I945 annual which presents the faculty fot Saint Augustine's. Under the leadership of Father Wilbert Kirk, these men dedicate their energies to the shaping, intellectual and spiritual, of Catholic youth. As educators they are moulders of the future. FA ULTY J, 5 . s ' Q o 0 W I QEIBEQ 'ly nlg,0 Q ww my ' m 41 'Q we 0 'N A VERY REVEREND WILBERT R. KIRK, O.S.A To the Esteemed Class of '45 A ye.ar ago, June 6, l944, the class of '44 formed their processional to the graduation platform. The date June 6 will be fixed in their memories perpetually, for, coincidentally with their Commencement, the long- awaited D-Day when 'our allied forces established their beachhead and enacted the invasion of the Western European frontiers held by the Nazi, occurred that day. The d.ays leading to our I'-745 commencement are presenting a pan- orama of fast moving world events which shall never be effaced from the pages o-f World l-listory: the death of President Roosevelt, the ignomin- ious end of Benito Mussolini, the reported passing of l-litler, the fall of the word's greatest city, Berlin, climaxed by the unconditional surrender of the Germans, and the greater movement towards Japan all tend to confuse our minds as one finds it difficult to digest so much import.ant news in so few days. But there is nothing more important in the life of a young man than the approach of the events which profoundly affect his personal life, namely, First l-loly Communion Day, Confirmation Day, elementary commencement, then high school graduation! lt is this last great epoch in your young life that will bring you to the school Patio where the mem- bers ofthe Faculty will hono-r you publicly. and present you with a diploma showing you have successfully completed the prescribed course of studies in a Catholic l-ligh School. , The Augustinian Fathers, particularly the writer, -wi-ll: share your re- joicing and the proud satisfaction of your fath.ers'and,.'mp,thers as you wallc away with your prize: a Catholic education ahd trainjlgngma-nd a di- ploma. V W , May l congratulate you, and assure you of my humble prayers f-or your future success. May God bless and protect you wherever you may go. Very Rev. W. Kirlc, O.S.A. The Augustinian Order The Order o-f St. Augustine, one of the four Mendicant Orders ofthe Catholic Church, traces its existence back through time to its foundation in Northern Africa in the year 388. and its brethren are the heirs to a cen- turies-old tradition of monastic life radiating from the spirit of the greatest light of the Church, Aurelius Augustine. , The Augustinian, the more easily to reach the perfection of the Gospel, binds himself to the observance of the three vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience, whereby he renounces all hope -of family life or possession of worldly go-ods and subjects himself to call ,at any moment from one end of the continent to the other. Since its establishment in the United States during Colonial times by the lrish Friars, John R-osseter and Matthew Carr, the Order has labored tirelessly in the cause and service of Christ, presenting from the beginning an unequalled record of heroism and courage against heartbreaking opposition. In this country the work of the Augustinians is divided among educa- tion of the y-ouing in high schools and colleges, ministering to the spiritual needs of the people in parishes, and the preaching of missions and re- treats. Although the American Provinces of this great missionary Order have not extensively developed the foreign mission field, four men of those Provinces were listed by the Japanese as prisoners of war in Santo Tomas internment camp. Following the example of its founder, the Order of St. Augustine has been active in the defense of Catholic doctrine through the centuries and literally thousands of its members have given up their lives in the confes- sion of that Religion: truly it is the perennial defender o-f Cath-olic Faith and of l-loly Church. Fr. John R. Aheme, OSA The greatest boon to the Manila hemp industry since the Spanish- American W.ar, Fr. Aherne is best recognized by the gentle aura redolent of Havana which broods over him like a mist and seems to be the result of his waving a small, black, and crooked magic wand after the manner of .l. J. O'Malley. l-laving masterful command of an extensive vocabulary, Father has acquired a reputation for general seaworthiness unequalled by anyone. Indeed, few have dared assail this dialectical impregnability. taking heed of the pitiful remnants of those unfortunates who tried, and whose bleached bones remain embedded in the hardwood floor of the Senior classroom. The reputed author of that current best seller Wither- ing Sleightsf' and center -of literary activity at Saints, Father Aherne took upon himself the bur- den of guiding and urging the l945 annual to its completion. and was often found in the center of an enthusiastic group of yearbook staff mem- bers. presenting the works of the great masters, Verdi and Sullivan, inspiring them to greater la- bors. Many of our alumni will forever be indebted for a greater appreciation of beauty which they have taken from Father Aherne's devoted kind- liness. Fr. J. F. Glynn, OSA Father Glynn has become widely known in the past few months as a vigorous promoter of informal essay contests UOOO wordsl as a means of knitting Faculty and students in a closer extracurricular relationship. In fact, so successful were his efforts that more than once some of the boys were found lingering around the grounds after two-thirty and returning de- votedly on Saturdays and holidays . . . As Disciplinarian, Father has man- aged to keep the Patio in a general semblance of shape ias well as h-old down his position as Assistant Pastor at Star of the Sea in La Jolla.l High on Father 6lynn's list of pet peeves is drivel to which many a heart- broken wretch will give unquestionable testimony. A proponent of clean basketball, Father can be found almost any afternoon madly outfighting the best opposition that McKinley can send against him. i 5 Fr. Joseph O'Malley, OSA For the story ot Father O'Malley's stay at Saints, we have only to look at the basketball and baseball records tor the past tour years. As soon as winter ushers in basketball season, Coach O'Malley may be tound any and every afternoon, getting his team into condition tor a gruelling season. With the advent ot spring and baseball, he plunges into the task ot organizing a team tor the diamond sport. l-lis teams mean everything to him, and win or lose, he is noted and respected tor his al- ways apparent sportsmanship. Never one to say much, Father O'Malley can keep the boys in class in line with a tew well chosen words and has the admirable quality ot mak- ing studies interesting. When not otherwise oc- cupied, he may be found perusing the c-ontents ot the latest edition to the l-loosick Falls Stand- ard Press. W Fr. David H. Ryan, OSA Talce a pleasing personality, mix well with a double portion ot a deep and intimate knowledge ot things scientific, add a love tor music and tor hard and sincere worlc, and y-ou will undoubtedly come up with Father Ryan. Besides the heavy schedule of classes which Father Ry.an has talcen on, he is the director ot the Band here at Saints. lt is largely through his ettorts with the camera and in the dark-room that this annual is published. Despite his numer-ous activities however, Father Ryan always tinds time to help any student who is having a hard time with his studies. Father Ryan is a native San Diegan and an alumnus ot Saints, which perhaps accounts tor the tact that he is an avid supporter ot anything that Saints puts o-n. Fr. F. M. Starrs, OSA c--fan Civ N 156- Wy For the past three years Patio atmosphere has been brightened by the enigmatic smiling of Father Starrs, caused, no doubt, by all the material furnished him by the local characters for his inexhaustible store of anec- dotes so readily and entertainingly recounted. ln fact, some of his daily classroom experiences have prompted Father to threaten to malce literary history in the field of autobiography, but he has never quite found time to begin work on his chef d'oeuvre . . . Lead- ing Upperclassmen through the intricacies and tedium of finding induced e.m.f. or the percentage composition of compounds has occupied most of Father's time since he came to San Diego from Chi, although almost every Tuesday evening finds him at the Fifth 84 Ash USO officiating at a meeting of the Glee Club . . . Long remembered will be the famous trio of Saints: Father Starrs, his Camels, and his chemistry. 1 X .lc Y J Father Kiernan, although he has been with us tor only one year, has been tirmly established in the attections ot his boys. As teacher ot Am- erican Government, he started the St. Thomas More Club, among the tirst ot his activities here, as a study group tor Senior students ot Consti- tutional l-listory. Father's degree in Political Science caused him no end ot anguish during the tourth-term campaign last September and Gctober when he was the most talked-at man around the patio. Father Kiernan's proverbial composure and ever present wit have made many an otherwise dull class attractive, so much so that the enrollment ot his study has steadily increased to unexpected proportions. Fr. Benjamin J. Kiernan, OSA iw i x 9 x r . f H . .7 '-X . if .Mf r X -V .V . iiivi,-rf f r ry li L WX , Fr. Wm. F. McDermott OSA There is only one word that can adequately describe Father McDer- mott. That word is enthusiast. Best known perhaps as football coach, he is also moderator to the Student Body government and organizer and moderator ot the Varsity A club. lt was under his direction that many ot the most successtul dances in the school's history have been put on, and that new unitorms and equipment have been secured tor all the ath- letic teams. Father McDermott is one ot the most popular priests on the faculty and when he is not in class he can be found almost any time in the center ot an eager group ot listeners, who are hearing about the wonders and charms ot Pennsylvania. Lt. Ch. Geo. J. McLaughlin OSA Leaving us this year to join Uncle Sam's armed torces as a chaplain, Father McLaughlin has lett behind him a record and a place in the hearts ot Saintsmen that will be hard to equal. It was under his direction that the tirst ot annual plays here at Saints were started and tostered tor tour years. l-le was the man who organized the Patio Players and who guided its tirst taltering steps. Father McLaughlin was also lcnown as the man who would give up his time 'over the weelc-end to play the records tor the boys at their dances. l-le did this solely to give the boys a brealc. A labor ot love with Father McLaughlin was the Sodality ot Our Lady which he organized here at Saints. Through his un- tiring ettorts the organization grew, and the school has been kept supplied with Catholic liter- ature through its wiorlc. Although he is not with us this year, he is not torgotten here at Saints and we are hoping, God willing, tor his speedy return. Vlrsfrow,YefffOrlgHtZFr,Al'16rne,Fr.Kierr1an, Fr.

Coming to us from Bremerton, Washington, he has taken an active part in all the activities sponsored here at school. He holds down a spot in the baritone section ot the glee club. He has also worked long and hard on the production ot this annual. Together with R. K. Smith he has spent many hours in the dark- room developing pictures tor this literary production. George is distinguished by his distinctive haircut which somewhat resembles a hair-tonic ad. He has a sparkling personality, which gets its best expression in his capacity as host at some of the more boisterous SAPPAGUS meetings. His greatest ambition is to attend the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and it sheer ambition will take him there, we will soon be addressing him as Ensign Bottom. AUGUST JEREMIAH CONEN BROWN Better known around the Patio as Jerry, has been around tor three years now, or would have been it he hadn't wandered oft to Hoover tor a while in his Junior year. A real classroom terror for two years, .lerry has be- come somewhat becalmed as a Senior and has diverted his energies to the betterment ot society. As Senior prexy Brown has shown a great interest in all class activities, and his lively spirit has been the sparkplug ot many Senior enterprises. He likes his mule disinfectant straight and before he gets a good hold on himself in the mornings is generally the un- fortunate target for Fr. O'Malley's Religion Quiz. A passion ot Jerry's is the Motorboat Serenade lcomposed by A.J.C.B. himseltl which he erupts with every so often during school hours. With a tenacity he has shown in the past year, we expect Mr. Brown to cut a wide swath in the world ot men, Annual Staff, 4 Skating Club, 4 Glee Club, 4 C., 'X , J JOHN BOWDEN Long John was with the Class of '45 from its beginning in September, I94I, and from the beginning he lived up to his nick- name, being one of the tallest in the class. J.B. was class president his sophomore year, and he ably led the sophomores through this year of social debut, during which the green open-mouthed freshie is subtly matured into the sober, serious-minded upperclassman. He had achieved some fame at the Patio when, early in his last year, he entered that fast-growing WAVE auxiliary. the U. S. Navy. This momentous occurrence caused a consid- erable stir at school. the most notable being an immediate drastic reduction in the school's standing order for perfect record certificates. John had left quite a record at Saints as regards his discipline and attendance, col- lecting a string of these little blue gems to frame in his room. Band, I, 2 Student Council, 3 Augustinian, I, 3,4 Annual Staff, 4 Glee Club Treasurer, 4 Catholic Action, 4 Basketball, 2, 3 Drama Club, 3 Class President, I ANDY BROOKS Pope Pius the 42nd is one of the bigger members of the class and can usually be found practicing his new wrestling grips on Gress or Faucher. How he came about the name of Pope Pius the 42nd no one knows but it was probably from the kindly expression he had on his face when he was mauling one of his unfortunate classmates. Although working at the post office every other night after school, Andy finds enough time to sneak away and thrill everyone in the Glee Club with his romantic voice. He not only sings during Glee Club practice but also in Geometry and Physics classes, much to the dismay of his teachers. Andy as yet has no definite plans for the future but he expects to join the snipers' unit in the Marines and is well prepared for this as he is one of the best shots down at the Stanley Andrews range. Glee Club, 4 N ti' Y NJ' it I HENRY CONTRERAS Henry, better known as Hank, was a tour year man here at Saints. Until he was called by the Navy, early this year, he had been coming to Saints since the ninth grade and was one ot the stalwarts ot the torward wall ot the Saints tootball team. Tall, dark, and handsome, Hank was quite a socialite during his stay at Saints, and he really had a way with the women. At almost every dance or activity sponsored by the school, you would be certain to tind him the center ot an admiring throng ot the opposite sex. Never one to say much, Hank has the repu- tation ot being the most patient man in the Senior class. The boys have yet to see the time when Henry is really mad. With his personality, we look to see him go tar. WAYNE E. BRYANT A member ot the select Skin you love to touch club, is one of the many Seniors not native to San Diego or even California. Wayne, arriving here to pursue his Sopho- more studies, was tresh from Honolulu's native girls and luxurious tropical sun. Despite the tact that he spent his Junior year at San Diego High, we welcomed him back this year as a Senior, where he is constantly undertoot be- cause ot his stature but is always the one to pick on little squirts like Sanchez. He seems to have math at his fingertips and spends his classroom hours trying to convince Fr. Ryan ot this tact. Wayne, the body and tender man, is a member in good standing ot the trembling tenor section ot Ye Olde Glee Club. He hopes to take a try at the Maritime Academy atter graduation but also holds an ambition to attend the University ot Cincinnati which specializes in electrical engineering. Football, 2, 3, 4 it l A ' I Rf N , fly JEAN DEMPSTER Or more affectionately Demp, is one of our more brilliant boys who hails from Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. Arriving here as a Sophomore, the happy-moron expression on his face has been seen around constantly now tor three years. He generally wanders about with his horse-laugh hanging out, and it sel- dom fails him at odd moments in the class- room. l-le enjoys throwing his transmission, a feat he accomplishes every couple of days. and is a somewhat doubtful member of our Tuesday Crooners. Jean, an active member of the Senior class, is an ardent supporter of all activities, espe- cially the dances, where he is king, Generally, however, he's there for everything and any- thing that has to do with the class and for plenty that doesn't have anything at all to do with the class. A constant' companion of Sanchez and Bryant, he can daily be observed either in a classroom free-for-all or making a quick get- away in Bryant's hot-rod.

DORNBACH George, who didn't arrive until his Junior year, has lent continual spark to the school during his two year stay. Basketball being his passion, it was no sur- prise to find him on the Varsity squad this year. Being high-point man was his constant ambition and when he finally made it he floated around the Patio for weeks. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, G.J., after attending St. Xavier High, made the long trip to the coast to 'enjoy our beautiful weather as viewed from the classroom windows of Saints. A certain charming Hooverette claims most of the poor boy's time when he isn't in school or working on the railroad. ln fact it's ru- mored that George and Jimmie Naumann have formed a lonely hearts at school club. After graduation George hopes to attend college, probably State he says, or else get a white collar job at the Railway Express.

I BRADLEY FRANK ERZINGER One ot the bigger boys in the class, Bradley has attained some prominence among his brethren during his one year at Saint Augus- tine's. Hailing from Hoover High, he claims his one misgiving has been the absence ot girls at the Patio School. He has taken, tirm steps in remedying this condition outside school hours, especially since coming into possession ot the now familiar clunk. Playing varsity football, Brad was corn- mended tor his detensive ability. As a result ot his gridiron achievements, he was com- mended by Father McDermott tor a football scholarship to St. Mary's at Moraga. an op- portunity which he hopes to take in the tall. Shortly atter football season, Bradley joined the ranks ot the workersevanishing daily at noon to get on the job. At the end ot the year he was developing a tlair tor debate- until outtoxed by the wily Father O'Malley on certain theological topics. A '1 i FRANCIS PATRICK DUFFY Duff, as he is known by most ot the seniors, is one ot the more tamiliar figures around the Patio. Too tamiliarf' he says. especially to Father Glynn. There was a time toward the end ot the year when Dutt was writing an average ot 750 words a day on Why l should not be late. a topic in which Father Glynn developed an avid inter- est this term. lt isn't that Dutt has little interest in class- work. He has shown considerable aptitude in physics and chemistry the last two years, and shows unusual interest in laboratory. This in- terest has carried over into leisure hours: in tact the repercussions ot the young scientist's ettorts are still being heard in East San Diego. When queried as to what he intends doing after graduation, Dutt seems to indicate a preference tor the Army Reserve Special Training program.

Arriving as a Junior, he has shown a genuine interest in every school activity and has placed himself solidly behind all class under- takings. Louie, along with Bill Faulwetter and .Jerry Brown, is one of the grocery store boys. Yes sir, he always says: Shop and save at Safeway-Get the best for less. A constant source of amusement to his classmates, he often erupts with sly pieces of humor tending to set the class in an uproar. Often he is a source of discouragement to Fr. Starrs because of his frequent and hope- less discourses on Einstein's theory of rela- tivity or some other such enlightening subject. But we were in the Eat Shop, Father, turned out to be his and Frelinger's constant alibi during the first half of the year as they, then a couple of Eat Shop boys, daily broke up Fr. Ahern's spell of concentration on the classroom boner books by their untimely entrance.

This does not sum up completely the personality of Bill Faulwetter, but it goes a long way. He is, however, more than a single term can convey. Showing the first sparks of brilliance as a Freshman by winning a two-year scholarship to the Patio, he fanned those sparks until they became a steady flame. With his scholastic achievements went a growing popularity among his fellows. His career has been bright and his accom- plishments notable. Years of service on The Augustinian, school paper, led to his appoint- ment finally as editor. With the choosing of a staff for this annual, Bill was named co- editor. As a Junior he was named to represent Padre Serra Post, American Legion, at Boys' State. Winding up a packed high school career, he stood out as a debater and actor in the annual school play. BiII's achievement in win- ning the Studies Medal as Junior and Sopho- more, as well as his influence in the A.S.B. as its vice-president. assure us of his succeeding in his chosen field. isis ,nga ..- 4 -if i sri' 2' , ag..

Tall, personable, he has made quite a few friends during his stay at Saints. His chief likes are malts, girls, and gasoline. His chief dislike is being without any one of them. His one consuming ambition since he has been a student at St. Augustine's has been tb be an alumnus of St. Augustine's, When at last he was informed he had graduated, that he could at last go, his ioy knew no bounds. And he could hardly suppress his excitement, when, on commencement day, he was handed a curious, tightly-rolled rnissive. And .then, when in an- swer to his plaintive query, they told him it was a diploma, he almost tripped over his capella gown in his hurry to see it in black and white. He is one of the more favored of his class in being the owner of a hot '39 Plymouth. He claims it can take anything in its class in the city. He knows that the others in its class will only go downhill. He is serious about his car, though, and suffers visibly whenever an- other of his delusions is shattered by some hotter hack, idly backing past. After graduation, he intends being around for some time, as he won't reach draft age for almost a year. When his time runs short, however, he expresses a strong preference for the Navy. N JOSEPH LEONARD FICK Fick, the India rubber man, has been a frequent vistor to the Patio now for three years, having come as a howling wolf among the lambs fresh from Sacred Heart for his Sophomore year. A member of the Salt Marsh gang at the P.O., J, Leonard is often seen there in one of his flashy T shirts and performing his original jitterbug step called the Turkey Jerky. Despite the fact that he is a confirmed P. O.-er, he often manages to show flashes of brilliance in the classroom, and often manages to pull down a neat B average along with occasional A's. He often goes on pepsi-cola iags, guzzling the poor man's champagne by the barrel, and it's rumored that because of his unusual physique, he has been nominated for Mr. America of l945. Because of his amazing double joints, Fick has been known to carry on two separate conversations with persons in front and back of him, using his head as a swivel, and was heard to remark during one of these conver- sations in reply to a question concerning his ambition after graduation, that, if Barnum 8: Bailey couldn't use him. he would stay on at the Post Office, his xabilities being, of course, of great value in sorting letters. . i I . , .

Though not one of the noisier members of the class, he always has his thumb in almost all the class squab- bles. Don't think though, that he is an ornery sort of a fellow, for he is really a very amiable boy. He is always willing to lend his home- work lwhenever he does itl to anyone-for a small fee. Q He has been very active in all class affairs and has played varsity baseball for two years. On the club he is known as speedy, for his teammates have finally found someone that he can out-run. Although not fast, he has made life miserable for opposing batsmen by robbing them of base hits out in his left- field position. Bobby has hopes of being another Sammy Snead or Jug McSpaden but he will have to put off his golf for a few years as Uncle Sam has a priority on his services. ,,l ' Augustinian Staff, 2 Varsity A, 3, 4 Band, 2 L i Ci' l i 7 Baseball, 3, 4 Aero Club, 2, 3 Band, I, 2 St. Thomas More, 4 Class Treasurer, I Class Historian, 2 Glee Club, 4 Varsity A, 3, 4 DAVID PETER FRELINGER y Or Pete, first arrived here as a Sophomore and has since made himself known around the Patio by his sparkling personality and ener- getic spirit. He is likely at any moment to explode with an infectious laugh which is a combination giggle and whinney certain to start off anyone within hearing distance. He is similar to Dempster in this respect and once you get him started there is no stopping. Highly active in sports, Pete showed a marked interest in basketball, being on the varsity squad for two of the three years he has played the game. Turning out to be quite the ladies' man lold ladies?l, Pete has been behind the Senior Class lsocially, of coursel in all its undertak- ings. He has been prominent too in helping to uphold the tenor section of the Glee Club during both his Junior and Senior year. After high school, Peter hopes to attend college until his Uncle Sam calls. his choice being St. Mary's.

Locating this lively little Senior is usually a matter of finding the near- est baseball diamond where he will be show- ing underclassmen the fine arts of the game. And he's just the boy who can do it, for he plays a pretty fair game at shortstop himself. Although his first love is baseball, he has been seen quite often at the Glee Club where his melodious baritone voice carries the choir. If the Navy won't accept Little Willie, they will not only have lost a gentleman, scholar and ball player but also one of the best, quickest, and cleverest grocery clerks in the business. WILLIAM PAUL GORSKI From magnolia-land in historic Charleston. Bill makes no bones about preferring the land of his youth to this our golden clime. He ar- rived two years ago to continue the Gorski tradition so ably established by Joe Gorski '43, Like his brother, but entirely on his own merits, Bill was elected student body presi- dent, a position which he filled with distinc- tion his Senior year. l'le has been a consistent booster of Patio activities. Football he partici- pated in for the two years he spent with us. The school paper carried his monthly column, and he was accredited to the annual staff. An unfortunate illness kept Gorski from many activities in the last quarter of his Senior year. For all that, the genial grin and the very real courage have kept his name and per- sonality before the student body. Destined for the Marine Corps after graduation, his classmates look for worthy achievements from this southern gentleman.

WM R use HEATHERLY Big Roger has made quite a name for him- self during his three years at St. Augustine's. He has played varsity football all three years. following his brother in gridiron proficiency. Likewise he was the mainstay of the varsity basketball squad the last two years, sparking the team on many occasions. His whole- hearted play merited him an award at the football banquet. During the early part of the last semester, Roger just managed to obtain a draft defer- ment to finish high school-he had, in fact. left the Patio for the Army when a few days later he showed up with the dcrer. ent, and a flivver which he bought in celebration. Roger presents a decidedly singular appear- ance driving it, reminiscent of the old-time mechanic with his homesmade horseless buggy. He invariably wears the tight-fitting goggles and high-buttoned overcoat by which he can be spotted blocks away. Barring things unforseen, Roger will prob- ably becorne a member of the Army soon after graduation.

Known chiefly for his hosses, John can be prevailed upon at any time to spin a few tall stories about them lthe horsesl and about his own prowess as a rider. Alas, however, l'loss is now a long way from his horses and riding for the duration. He left us at the beginning of his Senior year to become a seagoing cowpoke in Uncle Sam's Navy. His favorite likes in order of preference are horses, loafing. and girls. His favorite dis- likes are classes, school and work. After the war, his plans include a stay at college where he will major in The Care and Keeping of Horses, to be followed by many years of manicuring stables, so that he can be near his favorite animal. ASB Council, 3 Band, 2, 3, 4 Class Vice-President, 4 ROBERT LEITZELL On this page we run into the little monster Spike He has been plaguing the poor Fathers around here tor tour years. By looking at the kindly, angelic expression on his baby face, you would never suspect all the toul crimes that he can think up. Whenever there was an explosion or stink bomb let loose, the name ot Spike the Terror was on everyone's lips. Now don't get the idea trom this that Spike is always a demon. Every afternoon he forgets what he has learned at Saints and becomes a creamer-at Arden's. Besides his school work, Robert found time to join the Aeronautics Club, Glee Club, and Sodality. l-le was so interested in these clubs that he forgot himself and acted like a gen- tleman. wx 1 K r l WN f' it-. A4 ' IJ Y X ,K Li f. .r L' L, VAN D. HOLLAND Commencing a somewhat sporadic educa- tion here at Saints, we find a man whose courage and perseverance can seldom it ever be equaled. Despite almost insurmountable handicaps, Van has returned to successfully complete his Senior studies and activities atter more than a year ot absence from the campus. During his stay at Saints Van has shown a keen interest in all class activities and enjoys the distinction of being the lone Senior in the school band and the only Senior who boasts membership in both the '45 and '44 clubs. Van's cars are his constant source ot worry. First there was the Dodge which ca'ried a water bucket tor a tire that was usually due to over-exertion. Then came his next little deal which he bought tor a song and promptly proceeded to accordionize the radiator and tender. And now he's looking around tor someone linnocent enoughl to buy his other gem, a '3I Chevrolet. Not much wrong with it either lanyway, it runsl. Aero Club, 2 Glee Club, 4 l JAMES WALTER NAUMANN A newcomer this year to Saints, Jim takes a very complacent attitude toward lite. He is noted tor his calm exterior and seeming unexcitability, his only and tavorite expression being, Aw, cut it out, Ruddock! We view another side ot Jim, however, when he ventures out with the tair sex. He is somewhat on the woltish side lmaybe it's just the way he says, Hello-o-oooooo l and is really quite the socialite. He answers to the name ot Dork and is recognizable by his distinctive haircut which absolutely defies anyone to mess it up. Jim narrowly missed being part of Uncle Sam's forces earlier in the year, but he was the lucky recipient ot a deferment until grad- uation. After that his plans have been made tor him, however.

One of the boys who have made the Patio their home for tour years, l-larry has been variously respected for being a brain, for his ability to carol forth with ltalian arias, and for a keen sense ot the humor in ordinary situations. He has turned his talents to writing for The Augustinian as well as the Purple and the Gold, ot which he was co-editor. Perhaps for a bird's-eye view ot our subject, one would have to peek in on Senior Latin class where he has delighted the heart ot Father Glynn. Yearbooks of our fathers took delight in calling a graduate most likely to succeed. It a stubborn devotion to principle, intelli- gence and a warm friendliness are ingredients ot success, then Harry has every assurance ot making a go of his lite-work. Class President, I Class Treasurer, 2 Football, 3, 4 Varsity A, 3, 4 AYLMER VICTOR NICHOLS This little unimposing man has frequented the Patio for four years and looks forward to going forth to seek his place in life. When asked what he considers his place in life, his answers range anywhere from pro baseball to bee-keeping- there's money in it, if you don't get stung. And Aylmer does have possibilities so far as baseball is concerned, as Coach Father O'Malley will tell you. Father has coached the boy is his varsity first base position for the past three years. He plays also no mean game of tennis with that educated southpaw of his. While not among the most brilliant of his class, Nichols has shown an intelligent interest in the study of bees. Of late he has demon- strated likewise a fascination with spreading out the contents of his wallet before him and then carefully replacing them in a given order -for what reason no one can guess. Aylmer has no definite plans for after grad- uation, but prefers service in the Navy, 'HENRY NEIDHART One of Chula Vista's favorite sons, Hand- some Henry, as he is sometimes called, com- mutes daily from this district to attend school at St. Augustine's. Henry had done this for the past four years. He is one of the few four-year men with the class. He is the proud possessor of a Ford con- vertible, and somehow manages to take it to school about every day. Hank is quite popular among the Seniors for his slow, broad smile, and for that amusing air of naivete which he displays at times. Handsome Hank, as he is known to his friends, played football his last two years at Saints, winning laurels, especially his Senior year, at this his favorite sport. And he is quite the lad with the ladies, too, having shown a marked affinity towards the weaker sex Ithe weaker, the betterl, es- pecially during his last two years. Baseball, 2, 3 i J JAMES ORRIN onsaorzns Wanna fight? By these signs ye shall know him. If someone should ho efully ad- dress you with these kind words anclnthen play- fully slug you in the mouth, you would of course know at once lif you were still con- sciousl that it was Jim Orsborne. Jim, or as he is called more familiarly, J.O., is one of the bigger boys of the class and a three-year football letterman, holding down the center spot, and this year being elected captain and most valuable player on the team. As evidence of his popularity we have the fact that being elected class treasurer in his Junior year, he did such a good job that he was unopposed for re-election this Year and was elected unanimously, Jim is noted for his easy-going nature, the bellicose attitude being merely an act lpretty convincing at thatl and he can always be pre- vailed upon to tell about the efficiency of the La Mesa fire department of which he is a member. lf he is not extolling the virtues of the fire department in that fair city, you may be sure that he is persuading some un- believer that San Diego is a suburb of La Mesa.

Early he began smiling: he has continued to smile ever since. Ed O'Brien was late in discovering Saints. but he soon became a part of Patio life. With a personality which easily wins friends and in- fluences people, he has added a measure to the Senior class of l945. When a group was formed to carry out the cell technique of Catholic Action, it was natural that O'Brien should find a place in it. At meetings he exerted a distinct influence. Ed likewise was chosen to aid in the pre ara- tion of this edition of The Purple ani the Gold. on which he served as associate editor. Other activities drew him as an enthusiastic participant. Not one to push himself forward in the public eye, O'Brien leaves his schoolmates with a distinct impression of one who, in his own quiet way, was a kindly and Catholic gentleman. .sf'f':fi ,yr l 1 4.1. ,rw-f--1 ' 1f.',i ' - ffilg , 1 J ,r T ,, ,, HJ! 4 Baseball, 2, 3, 4 Glee Club, 3, 4 Class Secretary, 4 Augustinian, 3 Annual, 4 Varsity A, 3, 4 A.S.B. Ball, 3,4 JOHN C. RUDDOCK Coming to the Patio as a Senior, .Johnny soon made a host of friends, what with that smiling personality and sunny good humor. Not a lad to fall into the rut of custom, he has fascinated Saintsmen with coming to school by motorbike and then in a built-up or torn-down Model T. lt is not known whether these gave him the nickname Madman Ruddock or not. Coming from Los Angeles he shows a par- tiality to that city. Trips back to the old home town are invariably taken advantage of by other Patiomen desirous of a week-end in the big city. That out-of-this-world laughter of John- ny's has become a familiar sound around the Patio. lf it is a tribute to a person to say that he makes no enemies, then we unhesi- tatingly say it of John. A conscientious worker in class, he has been an enthusiastic partici- pant in outside activities, supporting all events of the school calendar. With his endowment of fine good nature and a capacity for work, we look forward to Johnny's doing well in whatever lies ahead. ,Z - PASQUALE COSMA PERRONE Prom Sophomore year to his Senior year, life at Saints has felt the influence of Pas- quale. l'le has kept what would have been dull moments alive with discussion on anything from the first world series game to the prob- able state of the postwar world. On baseball at least he claims some authority: for three years he has been representing the Patio on the diamond. Pasquale has not limited his efforts to base- ball. The Glee Club gives him an opportunity to open his mouth wide when that organiza- tion rocks the U.S.O, at Fifth and Ash each Tuesday night. To this yearbook he has con- tributed a number of articles. By some incom- prehensible magic Mr. Perrone has wielded more than his share of influence at class meet- ings: perhaps politics is his forte. ln studies Pasquale has done very well for himself, showing a fondness for mathematics -though not always for specific mathematics classes. Commenting on his preference in baseball he says: l like da outfield: there's more room out there. May he always find a place with more room for Pasquale. if . Sled Club, 4 U Skating Club, 4x x., f .V- ii BILL RYAN Bill, a three year man at Saints, has had the class and teachers completely mystified this last year as to when, at what time, and if he would appear at school. Whenever he did come, however, the class always knew it for in physics class he would lmuch to the enjoyment of his classmatesl forever be ar- guing with Father Starrs. He spent most of his time either writing for the Augustinian which he edited for the first semester or playing basketball. Although he did not o out for the sport, Bill was prob- ably one of the best players in the school. During his stay at Saints, Bill, a pretty stu- dious fellow, carted home a few silver certifi- cates besides his most cherished of posses- sions, two varsity letters for football.

His main interests are football, girls, and his home town of Albuquerque before the Army sends him overseas. We hope he makes it. just as he made the football team. His last two years, he shone on the gridiron as an ace halfback. and his last year he was designated as the best offensive backfield man on the squad. Franny also devoted his talents to the drama. He has managed to qualify for one of the big roles in the Drama Club produc- tions for the last three years. During his Junior year, Sanchez brought about the formation of the '45 Club, and was its first president, leading it through various activities for the year. He considers as his crowning achievement his being chosen King of the Student Body Ball in his Senior year. If everything goes as planned, we may ex- pect to see King Sanchez in the uniform of G.l. Joe shortly after graduation. 1 use '., 'J Dt 5? . 0 0031 OOTD '7aiTff1,'2 GUY of? T C ff M flAMW ROLLAND SCAVARDA Rolly is the class' only answer to Gene Kelly. Although a quiet, retiring sort ot a tellow, Rolly, as he so aptly puts it, goes mad once he gets on the dance tloor. He is always complaining about the scarcity ot school dances and boldly states at one-thirty a.m., There ought to be atter dances too. The little night owl not only excels in danc- ing but is also the master mechanic of Saints. lt has been rumored that he has talcen his motor apart blincltolded. That was probably when he inserted the smolce-screen equipment in his Ford. Though he loves to dance, he hates to wallc: so you can always find him behind the wheel ot his rod, This is the only car in the world which has Roman candles and smoke screen as standard equipment. He has great illusions ot being a mechanic in the Air Corps, but we who lcnow better expect to find him in the infantry. GABRIEL A. SAUCEDO Gabe toolc over honors as conductor ot the T. J. Limited from Ruiz '44, and is seen pulling in every morning lwell, nearly every morningl with his freight trom the border. He then collects the fares and disappears showing up once again at two-thirty to piclc up his charges and pull out before Fr. Glynn puts the tinger on him. Gabriel, a tour year man, seems to excel in languages as do his passengers. but also man- ages to get along well in other subjects de- spite his constant attempts at escaping the Reverend's thousand worders and indefinite jugs. By the way, have you ever noticed the little tan arrangement on his dashboard to clear out the smolce in case of dangeru? Seriously, though, we expect those same charming qualities that distinguished him in the Patio to assure him a high place in the sun. Baseball, 3 Varsity A, 3 St. Thomas More, 4 Aero Club, 2 Glee Club, 4 JOHN VINCEN I SCALISE Jack became a Saintsman only late this year, but since his coming to the school he has become an integral part of the class. I-le has lent his talents to the Drama Club in one of their plays, No Curtain Calls, and it was because of his efforts that success for the play was insured. Jack is always willing to help, and his will- ingness to come across with a weed on the walk from the car line to school in the morn- ing, makes him a buddy'buddy of anyone who has the habit and who happens to be going his way. His post-graduation plans include a tour of duty with Uncle Sam's forces, to be fol- lowed by a stay at college after war. Aero Club. 2 Camera Club, 2 Drama Club, 4 Annual Staff, 4 Band. I, 2 RICHARD KERRIN SMITH During the past year, Dick has really sur- prised most of the Seniors here at Saints. Never one to join in the social activities of the school in his first three years here. this year R. K. has blossomed forth to become quite socialite. l'le has been seen squiring one of the local Academy belles around the city at a fairly steady pace. It was through his work in the dark-room after school that this annual was possible. Giving up his time, until one or two in the morning to develop pictures and to mount them for composites and paste-ups, he has worked hard to get this annual out. With his genuine friendliness and capacity for hard work, we here at Saints are quite confident that Dick will go far in whatever line of work he chooses.

Joining the Seniors in the last year of school, he had no trouble in talring his place as an active member of the class, and was an eager enthusiast in all the various extracurricu- lar activities offered on this last year's Saints social calendar. Ed, being one of those fellows enviably termed an all around boy, has numerous interests, the least of which is that las he saysl unhappy vice, girls. l'le is an avid sportsman, interested chiefly in football, bas- lretball, and baseball, being deterred from participation in these activities to his desired extent by touchy health. He has no definite post-graduation plans, which he says, lie pretty well in the hands of Uncle Sam. PATRICK LOUIS WOLFF The boys have been crying Wolff for a long time in the Patio, and Patriclc has been answering to the name lspelled with a double During his stay at Saints, Pat has ac- quired a considerable reputation as an in- formal debater with a fondness for taking the unpopular side on a certain Central European power. Together with a lceen intelligence he pos- sesses an abiding love of music-classical or long-hair according to your opinion-Wolff would say just Hmusicf' As a Senior he has blossomed forth in all sorts of activities, talcing part in all school affairs, and not a few noca turnal revels lstag, of coursel. One of the few who have devoted long and unselfish hours to this annual, Pat has a very real share in whatever excellences it may have. lt is difficult to judge the impact of an individual on his fellows, yet we have no doubt that Patiomen in general have been bettered by contact with Patrick of the ready smile, of wit, and of loyalty to friends and school. ll' ,f ,' ,pcb I .Vx A i All 1 1 Wfffiwf , V: jp, 1-QL if Baseball, 2, 3 Class Treasurer, 3 aumann, roo S, au- c o rin . o : o an , s ornc, ca - e o ri , an i cn, u y. ca c : cr , iz a ric, rzin er, oo o y. en er: an. ca C : o o mmf ri- in er cavar a crronc cc . o tom: iqiiiidqu sir: Lui f,mipHiidob Hui Lttt gmsiagobiswirri Dpi os DH sid lyrfpirs 3 edbd ci Ry stderr 6 sits FhBytF rig s dP Nly Bt red is: N ish u doc, ca isc, ichos, anc cz.

Class Will We, the class of 45 , bequeath to our successors, the seniors of next year, the following attributes which have helped us through our stay at Saints: Bottom leaves his baby blue eyes to Bregante. Bowdein's slcill with the racquet goes to Churchill. Brooks gives his monstrous beard to Jimmy. Valdez. To Radiovich, Jerry Brown lwho won't need it anymorel leaves his Bob I-lope nose.

H-arry Neely leaves his thirst for learning to Jim Kennedy. l-Iis love affairs will now be transferred from Neidihart to Guerin. To Jones goes Ed iO'Brien's Missouri politeness. Jim Orsbome leaves his heart of gold and ability to collect dues to next year's senior class treasurer. l-lis love for Boston goes to Mike Feeny from Pasqual Perrone.

And to O'Connell for careful tending are sent the wings of Patrick Wolff. As a class we leave to you the underclassmen the faculty of which you can always be proud and who will mold in you the fine characteristics which are a natural part of them. But we will take with us the memories of Saints to cherish forever as the most joyous of our lives. , b, ,Manx 'bs A qi QM 53 Can You Imagine . Bottom A Brooks ooooooooo Brown ,.o.

Having passed the dread ex- perience of initiation, the class ot '46 elected its first otficers. ln the academic class Louis Nigro was selected president: Al Guerin, vice president: Ray Jackson, secretary-treasurer, while John Brady and Bob Smith were appointed to the student council. Ed Goodbody became president ot the scientific class, and l-l.arry Bottiger was made secretary- treasurer. John Brady and Louis Nigro, budding journalists, were appointed to the Augustinian statf. Tom Burke, Jim Cfonnole, Al Guerin, Bob Gon- zalez, and Bill Whittaker played B basketball. Upon the arrival ot base- ball se.ason, John Brady, Al Guerin and Ed Goodbody tound positions on the varsity. The Gold medal for excellence in studies was awarded to Anthony Bregante on commencement day. When school opened again i-n September, an increase in enrollment brought the number ot Sophomores to titty-tive. Al Guerin was elected president: Ray Jackson vice president: Jim Connole, secretary, and Joe Poehlman, treasurer. John Brady and Louis Nigro represented the class on the student council. Answering Father McDermott's call tor football players were: Jo-hn Brady, Al Campbell, Al Guerin, and Joe Poehlman. They received Varsity letters, while Dick Dowling and Bob Smith were awarded junior Varsity letters. Sophomores playing A basketball were: Bob Gonzalez, Al Guerin, and Tom Burke. ln the B team were: John Brady, Bill Griswold, Lee Payne, Bill Whittaker and Jim Young. Paul Smith played tor the C team. John Brady, Jim Connole, Ed Goodbody and AI Guerin again rep- resented the class on the diamond. ln the annual ASB elections held in May, John Brady was elected sec- retary for the coming year, while Bill Griswold w.as made treasurer. Louis Nigro at graduation received the scholastic medal to-r excel- lence in studies. Bregante Buzby Cawthon Churchill Junior Class History lcontinuedl Returning the following September with a slightly less number than it had had the previous year, the class ot '46 entered its third year at Saints. John Brady was chosen president, while to assist him, Joe Poehlman was made vice-president: Al Guerin, secretary, and Ed Goodbody, treasurer. John Brady, Anthony Bregante, Dick Dowling, Al Guerin, Tom Finnin, Garreth Jones, Louis Nigro, and Joe Poehlman all saw action on the grid- iron. As basketball took the spotlight, John Brady, Tom Finnen, Bob Gon- zalez, AI Guerin, and Bill Whitt.aker donned Varsity suits, while Bill Gris- wold, Jesse Thompsion and Pep Young starred tor the B team. Track was again adopted and Mike Feeney, Tom Finnin, Al Guerin, Norb Mandolt and Jesse Thompson used their spikes to good advantage. ln baseball the class was represented by John Brady, Ed Goodbody and Jesse Thompson. Juniors on the newspaper stati were: John Brady, sports editor: An- thony Bregante and Jim Costello, business managersg and Mike Feeney and Louis Nigro, news statt.

This partitioning ot the class was originally made necessary by the large number ot students in the class and also the variety ot the subjects which they were to study. At the head ot the Sophomore Section I class was President John McGrath. Under him were Vice-President Dick Betourne and Secretary- Treasurer Pat Kennedy. Section ll elected as their president Jim Faircloth, with the sole re- maining otticer being Gene Erzinger, treasurer. The class organizations, however, made little headway through the year, with so many student body and upperclass activities, coupled with the many sports interests demanding much ot the time and attention ot the sophomores. On the football team, Bill Rayburn and Bill Burrows were standouts. Raeburn was given the medal tor the most valuable defensive player and Burrows was named co-captain ot next year's squad. The tenth-graders made a good showing on the basketball teams, too. John McGrath, Bill Burrows, and Joe Galindio made the varsity squad with Pat Kennedy, Jerry l-lochwender, Art l-loward, and Dick Sawyer con- tining their talents to the B team. Sophomores on the C team were: John Farnan, John Gvoodhue, Robert McKiernan, John Claudino, William Baughman, John Fishbeck, Donald Faucher, and James Carrig. Second year men on the D team were John McDougal, John Mullen and Patrick Blackmore. Sophomores formed a large part ot Father O'Malley's baseball squad, which attracted the talents ot Pat Kennedy, John Early, Don Bishop, John Farnan, John Claudino, Ivan Radovich, Jim Ahlers, Bill Burrows, and Joe Galindo. p Blackmore Boone Borchart Burrows B l h HVYT1 vfn Cmrwq CMfymg 'VN C,:1.u f LM1mrw Y H yy I5 1 ffxriy lumix fr,'m.g-1 fm!!

Blizzard Freshman Class History The freshman class, this year having the largest enrollment ot any single class in the school, was diveded into the two groups called Secti-on l and Section ll. Those in Section l elected Jerry Daugherty as their president, and his cabinet ot otticers consisted ot Rudolph Ortega, vice-president: Rudy Ortiz, secretary: and Francis Murray, treasurer. As their president the first year men in Section ll chose Paul Mahoney. Morton Wilcutts was voted treasurer for the year. The C and D basketball teams were made up largely ot trosh. On the B team, too, the treshmen placed one player, Rudy Ortiz, the only member ot his class to earn B rating. Jerry Daugherty and Rudy Ortega represented the class on C loop squad: freshmen playing D basketball in- cluded Teddy Ratailovich, Keith Marshall, Leonard Ptlaum, Edward Gray, Ferdinand Spieker, and Robert Ashley. Answering Father O'Malley's call tor baseball players were Rudy Ortiz, Teddy Ratailovich, Rudy Ortega, and Barret Long. These boys played all season and put in a lot ot etlort toward the bettermen ot the team. Many first-year men contributed their talents to Father McDermott's track squad. They were Duane l-lenry, Laurence Shaw, Rich-ard Keeler, George Groeschel, Paul Dawson, Tony Vidrio, Jimmie Nigro, Eddie Gray.

Father John Gallagher O.S.A. travelled trom Ojai, Calitornia, where he is a teacher at Villanova Prep, to help the students successtully look betore and after spiritually. Father's lectures were a challenge to reawalcen in our hearts and minds a true sense ot values and the posi- tion ot all things in their proper re- lationship to eternity. Because ot the large enrollment, attendance at the conterences was staggered, dividing the student body into two separate groups and laying an additional burden upon the Re- treat Master, who had to provide suitable lectures tor each group. A slceleton ot classes was maintained all through the Retreat. r. o ri a a er Bregante Left to right: Faucher, Bussalacchi. Bottom, Fr. Gallagher, Dowling, Vanderbilt. Religious Societies With the purpose ot setting an ex- ample tor the other students, a Catholic Action Group was tormed here at scho-ol this year. The group operates as a cell, composed ot a tew members whose job it is to iniect a moral tone into the activi- ties here at school. The Sodality was unable to con- tinue at school here this year, due to the tact that the schedule as it stands did not allot any time tor it to meet. Another society here at school was the Server's Club. The purpose ot this club is to provide acolytes tor all reliqious exercises held in the chapel. l,i'tt lr: rlglilf Fr. l'fi-'rr1fin, N-wly, Faulwvttvr, Woltt, Clriudinw, Smith, Anhlvy, ltrip to bottoml Balrvr l-lriwiircl, Ahl- ru.

Starr's efforts, the Austin Guild Choir was organized for a second time this year. By a piece of good luck, Father obtained the help of Miss Rosemarie Steinweden, attractive young music teacher who was at that time organizing and directing gr-oups of Servicemen at the San Diego USO. Being interested in this type of club, Miss Steinweden consented to direct it one night a week and from there on plunged wholeheartedly into the task. More a Glee Club than a choir, the boys, under capable direction, were soon rendering feasible harmonizatio-n and were able to make an excellent showing at their first patio appearance, the occasion being Fr. Kirk's birthday. After becoming well acquainted, the members organized to elect of- ficers, those chosen being: Pasquale Perrone, president: Wm. Faulwetter, vice president: Anthony Bregante, secretary, and Andy Brooks, treasurer. Deserving full praise for her part as accfompaniest is Miss Grace Bently, who, along with Miss Steinweden, merit the sincere appreciation of the members for their patience and cooperation in making this year's Austin Guild Choir an enormous success. Two engagements wound up the year for the Club, one at the annual school play, and the last being a colorful selection, rendered during the graduation ceremonies, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Varsity A Club One ot the most active clubs in the sch-ool last year, the Varsity A was again tormed this year under the sponsorship ot Father William Mc- Dermott O.S.A. The club has lived up to its reputation ot being the most active in the school. lt has sponsored several successtul dances, among them being the Varsity Ball which was held at the San Diego W-omen's Club l-louse and was one ot the social hits ot the season. This club is one ot the most ditticult in the school to get into, the re- quirement being that a candidate tor membership must have a Varsity letter in some sport. The membership is limited to about tortv, all ot whom have letters in some sport, such as tootball, basketball, and baseball. The club has tilled a much needed laclc around the school by sponsor- ing dances and other activities which give a student a place to go and things to do. lt also serves to keep the athletic groups here at the school united.

Drama Club Under the direction ot Father Benjamin J. Kiernan, the annual pro- duction ot the Patio Players kept up the high tradition of other years. The program which consisted ot three one-act plays was presented tor the evenings ot May I7 and I8, at the Academy ot Our Lady ot Peace auditorium. The cast tor the tirst ot the three plays which was Antic Spring in- cludes Jim Orsborne, prominent Saintsman, l-larry Neely, Bob Walling, Marilyn l-licks, Mary Bo-yd, and Sharon McNeece. The play was .a comedy with .a romantic twist. No Curtain Calls, the second play ion the program was a melo- dramatic comedy. lts cast included such veteran pertormers as Fran San- chez, and Roger l-leatherly, while supporting roles were played by Bill Faulwetter, Dick Phillips, and Tom Finnin. Third play on the list was .a domestic comedy-drama which had' its setting in England. The cast consisted ot Pete Frelinger, Pat Woltt, John McGrath. Joe Galindo, Bonnie Ybarrondo, and Gwen Finn. Stage managership and props were under the direction ot R. K. Smith, Francis Dutty, and Curtis Fitzpatrick. Having three one-act plays this year, reversed the practice ot previous years ot having one three-act play. This move was taken in order to give more students a chance to participate in the pro-duction, and also to make it easier on the cast by giving them only a short play to learn in- stead ot a large three-act drama. Father Kiernan and the respective casts are to be congratulated on this successful venture. L w E I-'fl I0 rugh1, fuvsi vow: Nw'Ny. M, Boyd, 5. MC N S Un v 5 rn W II nw-fv. wry d ow: J. Ora 0 -', M.

First row: Marshall Spielcer. Tennis Club Another sport has hit the limelight at Saint Augustine this year, Tennis. An intramural tournament was held and-the number that parti- cipated was startling. At the beginning the tournament was cut into two divisions: upper and lower. The upper classmen lseniors, juniors, and sophmoresl were in the upper division and the freshmen in the lower. The tournament went along quite rapidly and in almost no time it was over. But the boys clamored tor more so a match was arranged between the senior boys winner and the lower division winner to deter- mine the school champ. This proved very disgracing to the upper class- men as little Keith Marshall, a treshman, defeated Bill Griswold, a junior, tor the laurels. Runner up ot the senior boys' tournament was Bill Baughman, who was deteated by Griswold. Pete Frelinger and Jean Dempster got as tar as the semi-tinals ot play. Both Marshall and Griswold have been entered in the lnlc tournament where the sch-ool lcnows they will give a good account ot themselves but hopes tor an upset to gain another cup tor Saints. A. S. B. Ball Carrying on the tradition set down by the class ot '4I, the Associ- ated Student Body, headed by Bill Gorslci, again held the A.S.B. Ball. Under the direction ot Father William McDermott, arrangements were made to stage the .attair at the San Diego Club. At 8:30 p. m. February 7, the Main Dining Room was tilled with the mellow music ot Billy l-lilton's orchestra. Highlights were at a premium with novel arrangements ot popular tav-orites by l-lilton. Warmly received was a laundered version ot Rum and Coca-Cola. As usual the climax ot the Ball was the election ot the A.S.B. Ball King and Queen. ln a hushed ballroom Moderator Father McDermott an- nounced the judges' decision: the King, Francis Sanchez: the Queen, Sally Feeney. Atter the applause had died down, Frank and Sally were pre- sented with appropriately engraved silver bracelets ot identification as a gesture from the student body. At midnight's witching hour the last dance marlced the end ot I945's A.S.B. Ball. The couples slowly taking leave ot the attair carried with them pleasant memories ot another high-marlc in their high school days. Debating Team Renewing an activity ot former years, a debating team was tormed here at Saints this year. Under the coaching ot Father Kiernan, the team, composed ot Bill Faulwetter, Richard Phillips, and Don Ahlers, en- gaged in a debate with Our Lady ot Peace Academy on the subject: Re- solved, That the Legal V-oting Age Shall Be Reduced to Eighteen Years. Although the boys Iost to the Aca- demy because ot their taulty presen- tation it was evident that their ar- guments were vastly superior to those ot the Academy girls, and the team, as a whole, showed promise. Several debates were also held among the sophomores to give them experience in spealcing and to de- velop them tor tuture inter-school competition. St. Thomas More Club New here at the school this year, the St. Thomas More Club is com- posed ot students of American his- tory who meet once a weelc to dis- cuss problems in Constitutional I-Iis- tory, and their bearing on present- day lite. Organized under the direction ot Father Kiernan, and named atter the martyred chancellor ot England un- der I-Ienry VIII, St. Thomas More, the club has a membership ot titteeri. Otticers elected were I-larry Neely, Chancellor and Bob Franc, Vice Chancellor. The mode ot procedure in the meetings makes the discussion both interesting and intormative. A mem- ber is assigned a tamous Supreme Court decision to briet each weelc. At the next meeting, he explains the issues involved in the case. and the decision rendered. The meeting Qs then thrown open to general discus- sion which gives everyone a chance to spealc his mind. I-It to right: Phillips, Faulwvttvr, Ahlvrs, Sitting: Fr. Ku-rnfin.

V as Football Coach Father Williiam F. McDermott this fall set out to develop one -of his most promising groups of grid hopefuls in years into one of the best football teams of St. Augustine history. Organizing practice a week prior to school's opening, Father soon whittled the group down to a squad of twenty or so with whom he could work as a first string. This first string at once buckled down to intensive preparation for their first scheduled fracas with the powerful La Jolla Vikings, one of the city's top entrants in the Victory League. The patio prospects went into this game much fired with their pre- season enthusiasm, but, as fortune would have it, with ranks diminished by two or three heavily depended upon first stringers, who had sustained injuries in practice. ST. AUGUSTINE 6 - GROSSMONT 6 Traveling to Grossmont, the Saint varsity met the Foothillers of the Victory League in o-ur only tie of the season. The Saints played minus the services of Orsborn and Neidhart, two- first-stringers who were on the bench with injuries. Early in the game, Grossmont had smashed to the Saint twelve-yard line. l-lere they met a blank wall on the ground. After three unsuccessful plays, a bullet pass was completed and carried lover. Their conversion was not good. The patio men took the kick-off and powered their way to the Foot- hiller twenty-nine, where they lost the ball on an intercepted pass. Then, NEIDHART SANCHEZ despite the efforts of the spirited Saints squad, the opposition carried the ball out of their territory and held the Saints at bay for the remaining minutes of the first half. Coming into the second half with the fiery words of Father McDer- mott's pep talk ringing in their ears, the Saints quickly forced the Foot- hiller squ.ad back deep into their own, territory, where, taken off their feet, they lost the ball in a fumble. From there on in the Grossmont squad were unable to- do anything to stop the now inflamed patio players. Sanchez plowed over after three consecutive smashes at their line, tying the score. The conversion was not good. The weary Foothillers took to the air for the rest of the fracas, though they completed very few of their attempted passes, many being inter- cepted. But they did successfully keep the S.aintsmen out of threatening position for almost the remainder of the game, until the last few min- utes of the game. By then, the tilt had become largely a passing duel, there being four interceptions in the last four minutes. On the last of these, it was Brady who pulled a Grossmont aerial down, and was just about -on his way to the promised land when he was pulled down from behind, pulling down likewise .any hopes of a last-minute St. Augustine rally. The game ended, final score: St. Augustine 6-Grossmont 6. ST. AUGUSTINE I3 - MOUNT CARMEL I2 Under the lights of Balboa Stadium the Purple and Gold tide from St. Augustine scored their second and most impressive win of the season in edging out a powerful Mount Carmel team from Los Angeles.

The scoring play was a taclcle eligible. a beautiful pass from Tom Finnin to Roger l-leatherly. The conversion was no-t good. The Mount Carmelites then proceeded to show some classy football themselves. Loosing quite a bit of offensive power, they had raclced up two tallies by the end of the first half. ln this offensive strategy, they re- lied equally as much upon their ground attaclc as upon their notorious aerial .adeptness. A large number of their passes were completed by the eagle-eyed baclc, Ollie Farmer. Several attempts at the Statute of Liberty play proved successful for fifteen or twenty yards each, though a couple baclcfired for considerable losses. Both their conversions failed. The score at the end of the half was I2-6 in favor of Mount Carmel. The third period was hard-fought throughout, both teams beginning to stiffen on the defense. The final quarter began and progressed much the same, until, with less than four minutes left to play, halfback Frank San- chez found Bill Burrows all the way across the field with a perfect seven- teen yard pass. Taking the ball on the run, Burrows sped fifty-six yards to pay-dirt, tying the score. Then the all important conversion play was called a spread. The crowd w as now so intent the signals could be heard up and down the field. The ball was snapped, It was a Short toss to Finnin over the goal. Finnin pulled it down to tally the winning point. Final score: St. Augustine I3 -- Mount Carmel l2. ST. AUGUSTINE I9, FALLBROOK O The St. Augustine tootball team met an un-sitaSonCd Fallbroolf Squad at leans' tield on Columbus Day.

Ri-rwiying attcr the touchdown, thr' XXfarriors proved themselves qrvf-ri at handling thc ball and tound it virtually irrrpossible to gain a tirst down. Thv Saints tallied again betorvf the and ot the tirst quarter when Sanchez plunqed through the Fall- brciril line and seven yards to pay lirt Father McDermott took advan- taqr- ot this two touchdown lead to qiyrr hir, avrond strinq a chance to pit their abilities aqainst the in- yadi-rf, still. The subs played almost the whole second period, and showed ii lot ot promisel though they tailed to brinq the ball oyer the Fallbrook qoal, the halt ending with the score: fit. Fxuitumtinir I3 Fallbroolc O. 'ilu' lirat ztrinrg came back into the qiinir' tin open the second halt with ir burst ot power which carried the W.rrrii rf, bar Li to within the shadows ot their goal poits, where, with Sec- ond and goal to go, the reiuyenated 'ifirnt squad made their third score at thi- Qarrrw. The remainder ot thc thirt period resolved itselt into an i-xchariqcr ot punts and incomplete llllcfgfwr. ihif, fir- -,riw action continued on Football tcontinuedl well into the tinal period until the patio squad launched a last minute scor- ing attempt. Erzinger brought the ball to the twenty-two yard line in two smashes at the line. Guerin raced around end to carry it to the seven, Sanchez then plunged desperately down to the three, where the gun sounded, ending the game. Final score: St. Augustine I9-Fallbrook O. ST. AUGUSTINE 2I - ST. BERNARDINES O ln this encounter, the Saint eleven met an out-classed, but game, out- tit from St. Bernardine High, San Bernardino. First gaining possession ot the ball on our o-wn thirty-yard line, in just tour plays we had reached the Crusaders twelve-yard line. One play later the tleet-tooted Burrows had crossed the goal standing up. The conver- sion was good on a pass from Sanchez to Heatherly. The visitors had hardly taken possession ot the ball on the tollowing kick-otf when Finnin picked an aerial out ot the hands ot the intended re- ceiver and brought it to the St. Bernardine thirty. The Saints then launched a drive spearheaded by the plunging Finnin, who tinally smashed through guard tor the tally. This conversion was go-od, Finnan again plow- ing through the center ot their line. For the remainder ot the tirst halt Father McDermott gave many ot his second and third stringers an opportunity to play and gain the valu- able experience which they needed. The subs, however, tailed to tally in the remaining minutes 'ot the halt, which ended with Saints leading I4-O. The Crusaders opened the third period with a spirited attack which brought them to the Saint twenty-nine, where they met stittening resist- ance and lost the ball on downs. Then tor a while it looked as it the Saints had settled down behind their lead to play a tight, defensive game. But then the old tight reappeared and the patio squad rolled down to the enemy titteen yard line. From here it took a single play tor tailback Burrows to snake the ball acro-ss the goal to bring the score up another six' points. Sanchez ritled the extra point to Finnin to bring the score to read 21-O. The remainder ot the game w.as played against a staunchly battling Crusader eleven, who, with a little more hitting power, might have dented the tough Saints line. But, the contest slowed down to a punting duel, which was waged in St. Bernardine territory tor the most part. The game ended, with the tinal score: St. Augustine 2 I-St. Bernardine O. Lett to right, standing: Cameron, Brashear, Jost, Burrows, Guerin, Payne, Hcatherly, Fr. McDermott. K I Gll D L H F h dd St h C nr-Qing: iis, a ao, . auc ur,Ma ox, rac an, arrig. Track For the tirst time in three years St. Augustine put out a traclc team. The team. coached by Fr. McDermott, was led in the dashes by Hans Nansen, who showed his heels to many ot the best runners in the city. He was lost to the team during the tirst halt ot the season because ot ill- ness. and by the time he finally hit his stride the season was almost over. Al Guerin and Bill Burrows showed up to a great advantage tor the team, the former in the high hurdles and the latter in the 220 and 440 dashes. Guerin also ran the hundred. The great surprise ot the year was Diclc Strachen who the tirst time he ever ran the mile toolc tirst against Brown Military. The relay team led by Nansen, Burrows, and Guerin ran to many victories over their opponents. The real lack ot men was in the tield events. Here Saints could not tield anyone but a high-jumper, broad-jumper and two shot-putters. Roger l-leatherly, trying out a new sport, tound himselt as the team's star shot- putter. His understudy was Tom Finnin and at most meets these two hetty lads tool: tirst and second laurels. The only highjump man was Pete Frelinqer who, despite laclr ot prac- tice, turned out to be a tairly good high jumper and ran up a tew points tor the team. Freddy Brashear did his best at the broad iump and turned out well. Basketball In a not too long and not too successful season St. Augustine High this year played a total of fifteen games, winning six and losing nine. Saints played the vari-ous teams in the victory loop, a service team, and then again entered the Los Angeles Catholic l-ligh School Tournament at the season's end. Saints opened its season dropping the game to the State E by a score of 3I to l9. ln another encounter the squad had improved but still lost. this time by a score of 3l to 24. Saints was handed another dose of do-L.ble defeat by Brown, 36 to 34 and 28 to 24. Grossmont came close to losing to Saints who held them in check until the last quarter when Grossmont surged ahead to win, the sc-ore of this tilt being 27 to 22. Kearny l-ligh was next and was defeated by a score of 30 to 20. Roger l-leatherly dropped in I I of the Saint's points. After two upset victories over Sweetwater and Point Loma in very close games, the first being 23 to 2l and the latter I6 to I4, the team met FR OMALLEY R. HEATHERLY GONZALES - W1 mums,-wang l-lo-over l-ligh lSouthern California Champsl and threw the scare of their lives into the Hoover aggregation when at the third quarter Saints led by a score of 2l to I8 but in the fourth period both Saints offensive and de- fensive fell apart and the l-looverites pulled ahead to win 3l to 2l. The squad crushed its only service 'opponent 58 to 22 and continued to win by defeating Vista 2? to 27 and Vocational 3l to 26. This ended the team's win strealc for in the next game they were defeated by a powerful San Diego l-ligh squad 35 to I4 and by Coronado 48 to 2 l. This ended the season. At the end of the season it was found that the team scoring was led by two seniors, Roger l-leatherly and Pete Prelinger, co-captain. The and D squads again showed up quite well in play and gave great promise for future years. Three players are definitely tabbed as Varsity men for next year. They are Jesse Thompson. Pat Kennedy, and Rudy Ortiz. Jaclc Claudino, one of the best Cs , also has a good chance of playing Varsity. This year's D team brought ho-me the laurels though as far as in- dividual scoring went. for it had little Ted Rafailovich who ended up the season with a total of l59 points.

This was iust the beginning ot his troubles, tirst- baseman Al Nichols had to drop the sport, and John Brady, the club's star pitcher. came up with a sore arm and couldn't chuck. Despite these losses, the coach went ahead and built up a pretty good squad. The only thing it lacked was contidence. This was shown in the tirst three games when nervous Saintsmen com- mitted a total ot 2l7 errors while losing two ball games and tying the other. By the time ot the tourth game the Saintsmen were out gunning tor a victory and tinally racked one up with a smashing 29-2 deteat ot Vocational l-ligh. The team with this victory under its belt went through to .a pretty successtul season, playing against the much larger San Diego public schools such as Sweetwater, l-loover, Point Loma, and San Diego. The squad has done much to impress these schools ot their ability and determination to win. The boys were g-ood enough even to go to Los Angeies this year and meet three ot the Catholic high school teams, Cathedral, St. Monica, and Mt. Carmel. The squad this year was sprinkled with seniors but was predominateiy underclassmen who should come through in the tuture years to have the best squad in the city. The baseball team as it now stands looks like quite a club. Jack Claudino, erstwhile pitcher, is now tirst string catcher. l-le has a great arm and a good batting eye. Another pitcher, Jesse Thompson, due to his batting ability tinds him- selt playing tirst base and has been the most improved player on the squad. At second is the team's top batter, treshman Rudy Otega, who although he lapses in the tield once in a while, is consistent at the bat. Third baseman John Far- nan plays a steady game both atield and at the plate. Willy Gress rounds out the intield at sho-rt- stop. l-le was the sparkplug ot the intield and held it together at all times. WS. Top lett to right Howard, Perrone, Dempster, Center: P Kennedy, Ahiers, G. Erzinger. Bottom: Gonzales, Burro GS W. Baseball The outfield consists of Jack Brady, the pit- cher with the sore .arm and the team's top sluggerg Pasqual Perrone, fancy fielding center fielder and quite a sticker also: Bob Franc, though not a great hitter is probably the team's finest fielder. This trio is backed up by lvan Radovich and Ed Goodbody, both of whom can hit the ball a country mile. The pitching staff consists of: Pat Kennedy, left handed chucker who has a world of stuff on the ball and the poise of a veteran. Gene Eninger, a big right-hander is excep- tionally fast but tends to wildness at times. Jesse Thompson, fast ball left hander, who was used mainly as relief. Rudy Ortiz, another lefty is fairly fast and has a curve that breaks two feet. Don Ahlers, knuckle ball specialist who's slow ball and slow breaking curve had opposing bats- men breaking their backs swinging at it. And relief hurler Jack Claudino who is used to put out the fire whenever opposing batsmen get hot at the plate. Top, left to right: Grcss, Goodbody, Brady. Ccntcr: Ortega, Galindo, Ortiz.
