The interest he has mani- fested in St. Augustine High School and also the assistance he has given us in this edition of THE PURPLE AND THE GOLD demonstrates his profound concern in promoting Catholic Education and Catholic Action. Most Reverend Charles F. Buddy, DD DEDICATICDN The Order ot Saint Augustine, since its origin in 388 A. D., has taken to itselt the taslc o-tieducating and preaching the Gospel to the masses, while in every way exemplitying the virtuous spirit, perseverance and ver- satility ot its illustrious founder, Saint Augustine. We are truly privileged to have been educated by men whose mag- niticent histo-ry has paralleled sixteen centuries. lt is to the Augustinian Order, then, that we dedicate this edition ot THE PURPLE AND Tl-lE GOLD, and in some small way we try to manifest the appreciation which the parting seniors have tor the beloved Fathers ot Saint Augustine. ff Our Holy FRI Hzflzzp of f1f'I'fl7 fl 1 IIC lxulw her AUQUSIIIIC ml lllustrxeus Dtlrtof Cffffl Cfzsuom C lhhIAI'TIfIli I 1-NTQH llgxl 151 lllll l'NllH41l lll Xl tlyifgfl-11-tonal-3 ma 1 Q gf l lwr'f-llnv 1 I U 1 i Klum nn 1 X' wnnnno of that t tributed to each one acc' mats iv, 32-34.1 When they who held so world come to the monastery, freely in common.

One of these was St. Augustine l-ligh School of San Diego. Since that time St. Augustine's has been a part of the life of this city. The school has contrilruted to San Diego many outstanding citizens, members of the professions, civil servants, and worlcers in the various trades. From the patio have come priests, secular and religious. Not least among her graduates St. Augustine's numbers the three hundred servicemen who answered the call to arms in the nation's most critical hour. Especially cherished are the fourteen Patiomen who gave their lives in that conflict. Because the life of a school is lived in a community, it was thought fitting to marlc that fact in this annual. Each section of the book, there- fore, is introduced by a picture of some familiar landmark of the city. Representing the Catholic community in San Diego we reproduce on the opposite page a picture of St. Patriclc's church, connected from the be- ginning with this school, and staffed by the same Augustinian Fathers. si? x, I.

K L wr QL-L FACULTY lt was Augustinian priests, just as those pictured on the next pages, who introduced the Catholic high school for boys to San Diego in l923. These men with their higher degree of education undertook, without any outside support, the task of erecting a center to implant knowledge into the younger generation. As San Diego rapidly expanded, St. Augustine with an increase in students and faculty also grew and is still growing today. At the present time, the faculty, under the direction of Father Wilbert R. Kirk, is composed of ten members. Each is a master in his own special field of study. Each, while his life is devoted to serving our Dear Lord, has dedicated himself to instructing the Catholic youth both intellectually and spiritually: to make them morally good, intelligent citizens of society. While performing this important job these educators also find time to aid the pastors of San Diego in their parish work. ln the fullest sense, these men are builders of society. No tribute we could pay. no praise we could write, would ever sum up our profound gratitude and appreciation for the things they have done fo-r us. Their friendship will always remain dear to us. May God bless and preserve these our faculty members' of 46. Photo courtesy Boren Studio :YWW 'f Very Reverend Wilbert R. Kirk, OSA TO Tl-IE ESTEEMED CLASS CDF '46 My dear Students: Since our last commencement, World War ll has terminated. lt's dreadful dirge lingers on, however. We are beset by a world of unrest. uncertainty. strikes and other unhealthy disturbances. While the members of the class of '46 may be confronted with this chaotic picture. there is underneath a strong confidence and hope for the future. Even in the face of the possibility of prolonged conscription of youth, I will venture to assure you that you are facing greater opportunities for higher education and worldly success than your predecessors of many years. We hope the training and education attained at Saints has equipped you to take advantage of the years ahead. But unless with your material opportunities and successes you blend the more lasting spiritual achievements of your life, you will have lived in vain. For what doth it profit a man to gain the world, and suffer the loss of his soul? asks Christ. Cling to the ,imperishable spiritual impres- sions you have received during your high school days. As you pass from the portals of this high school our paternal eyes and thoughts shall pursue your paths through life. Our interests in you will never die. So when we wish you God-speed! bestow benedictions. and promise you our undying prayers, we purport to follow your endeavors until we have accomplished God's will. May we offer heartiest congratulations to the members of the class of '46, We have esteemed your fine spirit, your studious habits. your quiet but enthusiastic presence in our school. We experience a feeling of loss to see you leave us. But higher things in life beclcon to you. so au revoir. May God love and protect you. Very Rev. W. R. Kirk, OSA., Principal Fr. Aherne Saint Augustine's greatest master of the English vocabulary and satirical slam is Father Aherne, Philadelphia's most prized possession. Many a student has been left standing open-mouthed, struclc with awe by maturely worded explanations introducing words not contained in the students' small pocket dictionaries. A favorite weapon which Father uses to control his classes is satirical slam, better known as the proverbial flooring of a student with diction so far above him, it leaves him speech- less. When looking for the Reverend, one need only elevate his nose. follow the scent of Aroma de White Owl through the air until he has located a huge billowing cloud and raising his head lat a 90-degree anglel he finds somewhere in that artificial vapor, Father Aherne gazing down upon him with a big cigar in his mouth, friendly smile upon his face and white smolce streaming from both nostrils. One of his pet pastimes is listening to clas- sical music recordings of which he has many albums. While assuming the job of director of studies for the second successive year, Father once more toolc the reins of the Au- gustinian and i946 annual staffs, instructing them in the fundamentals and fine points of literary writing. To the students and graduates of Saints swam Father Aherne will always be remembered as a teacher, amiable friend and prudent adviser. if fwmw in' Fr. Glynn Without Father Glynn St. Augustine l-ligh School would not be com- plete. l-lis jokes, witty remarks, Lawrencian accent. strict business manner of administering discipline make him one of the most popular members of the faculty. Father, better known as The Iron Jaw, has been faithfully performing the duties of Disciplinarian for four years now and many a boy with pencilstubs and aching wrists can give testimony to this fact. It is Father's theory that an extensive writing program improves penmanship. While keeping the Patio in order he has time to act as moderator of the senior class and '46 club. ln many a case, due to his assistance, the activity which seemed to be a failure was converted into a tremendous success. The senior class would like to take this occasion to thank Father Glynn for the invaluable guidance he has given us. A favorite stamping ground of our dead- eyed disciplinary is the basketball court, P- where he keeps regular hours l8 A.M. - 8:30 ..f r i iw .. . .if Cf .T .. :fied .... .5 'RB In-N A.M., 4 P.M. - 5 P.M.l and where accepting ,'.,,-.4 X challenges from anyone between the ages 'T ,fi 'i i of five and fifty, he offers to play his oppo- lk nents with one hand. Sometimes if the op- position is a little stronger he even uses two at 'F hands. Y X.. X' V Father firmly agreeing with the left- overs of the Hoover Administration says and we quote.

Malioncy l Father Mahoney, since his arrival here last year, has tirmly established himselt deep in the attections ot his students. A pleasing personality, an excellent education in Spain, plus a deep love ot sports all tend to malce tall Father Mahoney one ot the most popular priests on the taculty. When Father Costigan became ill this spring, and was taken to the hospital, it was Father Mahoney who took up his duties as baseball coach: a job with which he has done very well. Father Mahoney's distinctive quality ot teaching serves to malce studies in his classes a pleasure, and many an erring young man has been helped, through some unpromptu tutoring by Father Mahoney, trom the depths ot tailure. A F fy ,A 'i , ,- + - , ' ' v X , B, i if Qi. I . aff' i M .f Fr. Ryan One ot the most energetic, most versatile, and most diligent members ot the faculty, Father Ryan is always happy to do anything which will in any way benefit the school. Father Ryan is perhaps best known for his keen interest in aviation, which he acquired during the summer. l-le has worked unceasingly for many months since then in obtaining a surplus warplane from the Navy, which served to make his aeronautics classes more interesting. lt is practically through his accomplishments alone, with the camera, that this annual and the books which preceded it were not mere type- written sheets. l-lis ingenuity in photography is something envied by pro- fessional experts. Besides these extra-curriculars and a heavy schedule ot classes. Father Ryan can be found almost any afternoon, either in the Physics Lab or in one ot the classrooms, aiding some miscalculating student with his studies. ' 4 I so Fr. Staffs When Father Staffs tirst became interested in singing three years ago, he organized only a small Glee Club, but it met with such complete ap- praisal by everyone that he has organized it every year since then. And every Wednesday evening Father Staffs malces his way to St. Patriclcs l-lall, where he and his amateur Carusos meet to sing. During school, Father Starrs' classes are both interesting and pleasant, and his quiclc wit helps relax the tedium ot the involved subjects which he teaches. Despite his heavy schedule ot classes, and other post scholam activi- ties, Father can be seen almost any Saturday trudging across the verdant linlcs in search ot the elusive little white orb, or vigorously hacking his way out ot a sand trap. To the Seniors, Father Starrs will perhaps best be remembered tor his little tale ot a certain titteen-dollar suit lwith two pairs ot .,..,,.,., M Jr.-V f. .. , .1 -1. ., ,Vi . - M fig is ' r. pantsl, which he claims he's still wearing- 32 55 25 ' ..r after nine years. fi 1. ,smug-X r , f i ffi sf ls A 1 525 'miklfm F' Q. if ,M fi? 5433653 ,A , , X Y 'A to .lx Q. 4.

McDermott that we of Saints owe a deep vote of thanks for his tireless effort in malcing St. Augustine a limelight in the Sports World. This year Father coached football for the fourth consecutive year, and also earned himself the job of coaching basketball. During his stay here, Father has literally talcen the teams, from rags to riches : developed the clubs into fighting outfits with plenty of spirit, and obtained bigger and better competition. ln furthering the activities of the students, he organized the Varsity A Club which has been effectively functioning ever since. The club spon- sored several dances, raffled cash prizes for the purpose of purchasing new basketball uniforms, and imposed a strict law governing the wearing of lettermen sweaters. While acting as the director of the Varsity Club, Fr. McDermott is also the moderator of the Associated Student Body Government. Due to his patience, counsel, and aid the student body activities were tremendous successes. Father's enthusiasm, willingness to help, gen- erosity, and stories of his life and experi- ences rnalce him one of the most popular -f members of the faculty. 'frsffl-is gt is wi Fr. Kicrnan During his two years here at Saint Augustine Father Kiernan has be- come very popular among the saintsmen through his activities in Religion and Civics classes. As director ot the patio players Father produced a smash hit called The Sunshine Twins which was so good that it was presented several additional times. Father Benny, as he is sometimes called, is the originator ot the St. Thomas More Club and the debating team. To acquaint the members ot the Senior Civics Class with the man- ner in which the Senate ot the U.S. conducts its business, he let the class torm ditterent parties and pertorm its parliamentary proceedings. The results were: acquiring southern accents, party teuds, and chaos and tur- moil in Washington over some ot the bills that were passed by the mem- bers. Being a tirm tollower ot the southern senators ot St. Augustine Congress, Father will not sleep in a room that doesn't have a southern exposure, nor will he associate with Q r Q, R VS. 05:32,-,i A H any ot the lett-overs ot the I-loover Ad- rw . zwff Q ministrationf' it ,s If ,ATM sm' if 5? ,ff X, W if ii , 96' if 4 - , ,. q .1.. , :MQW - 55,2-3 it 5: ' 'j K iii., f. ,sf A' -1.1 - IV' .

Williams Father Williams, one of the new faculty members at St. Augustine this year, has made a solid hit with the boys around the patio. l-lis golden kerneled jokes have drawn him many an admirer. When it comes to the art of adlibing, Fred Allen has nothing on our Father Williams except that Allen's audience responds with a huge roar of laughter. Being interested in the outside activities of the students Father has founded the new Bowling and lce Skating clubs, which have developed into the most prominent clubs in the school. When not occupied by the duties of his classes or the affairs of these clubs, he may be found indulging in one of his favorite hobbies, mastering the piano. It is rumored that Father Williams is the secret inventor and owner of Wild Root Cream Oil. l , Fr. Costigan Coming to us only this year, Father Costigan has been an enthusiastic supporter ot everything undertaken by the school, and a devoted com- panion and counselor to his boys. As soon as spring ushered in Baseball season Father Costigan could be tound every afternoon running his baseball team through its paces. But betore the season had hardly begun, Father was striclcen with a stom- ach ulcer and hospitalized, thus ending his teaching year. Always eager to help the boys, Father is ready to support anything suggested by them, which might aid them in any way. Father Costigan, being from Detroit, gave us all the inside intorma- tion on the world series last tall, and was completely elated when his home-town team became world champions. Father Costigan's unceasing amiability and sportsmanship will many times be recalled by the seniors when high school days are mere memories.

They will serve to intro- duce the seniors, while leaving to the school not only a psychological memory but a physical picture which can be perceived on the pages of this boolc. The seniors in turn take with them a visual retrospect of cherished high school days. which will in later years serve to revive for them the past. ' YM ,W 'S we 3 7 fvfmf f f,,fV,, K Q wx iii 25?

Q. Whatever may be said about Johnny, never will it be said that he did not talce part in school activities: quite the contrary. I-Ie has always been an ardent participant in all the Patio events, especially dances at which he was always present. Johnny is a friend ot all, and always bum- ming money which sometimes cause harsh words among friends. It the dratt continues, John expects to see service in the Army, or, it not, he hopes to go on to college. JOHN KILCOYNE John, who also answers to the name Icing, came to Saints tour years ago. For three ot these years John was a quiet and unassuming scholar, content to let the other members ot the class be the big shots. Then in his tourth year John toolc over and became one ot the outstanding members of the senior class. I-Ie became president ot the senior class and toolc part in making this year's class one ot the best in the schooI's history. John, one ot the shorter men in the class, is also a charter member ot the Handsome Devil Club, in which he toolc a very active part. A smooth dancer, John was this year's King ot the A.S.B, Ball. Another ot John's accomplishments was taking over the impor- tant post ot business manager ot THE PURPLE AND THE GOLD, in which he proved his executive ability. As you are now, neat, dependable, and ambitious, so also will you be when greater deeds are aslced of you. Aero Club I R.Q.T.C.

This dash- ing Casanova has quite a time keeping track ot his class ring but trom time to time it shows up and it is then you can hear him groan, Well l didn't like her anyhow. But now letting this subject rest, and heaven knows it needs it, we glance over the achievements that this young man from New Mexico has attained in his short time at Saints. Al, being an excellent dancer and a lover ot good times, has been an enthusiastic supporter ot all the dances and social activi- ties held at the school. Al is also a tairly good basketball player. Although he has seen some action on the court he has been heard to comment, while taking the splinters out ot his basketball trunks, that the people out here lCalitornial just don't appreciate good athletic ability when they see it. Al has made no positive plans tor atter graduation, believing that his Uncle Sam will do all his planning.

Since then he has ac- quired and retained the reputation of being a practical joker. Dick, who has just recently retired from the Boy Scouts as an Eagle Scout, claims camping as his tavorite hobby. Besides camp- ing he is a tiend tor stamp collecting, and has quite a collection to show for the tew years he has been gathering them, l'le has expressed the hopes ot becoming a Marine Aviator after graduating this year. Through his initiative and spirit we believe that he will make good in whatever he under- takes. Football Manager 4 Basketball I Varsity A Club 4 R.O.T.C. I Aeronautic I Sodality 2 Altar Boy I Annual Staff 4 Augustinian Staff 4 JOHN BRADY Jaclc, the answer to every teacher's dream, has combined within himself an overabun- dance of intellectual and athletic ability. There has been very few, if any, social activi- ties or sports around the Patio which has not felt the powerful influence of this four-year man. JacIc's popularity has won for him many school offices during his stay at Saints. Be- sides his duties as President of the Student Body, co-editor of the annual and news editor of the school paper, to mention only a few of his many activities, Jack has found time to go out for almost every sport held at the school. Jack has joined the ranks of the many Senator Claghorne followers to malce the School Seem like a southern madhouse. We at Saints are quite confident that Jaclc, with his sparlcling character and winning personality combined with his many abilities, mill succeed in anything he undertakes in later r e. BILL IBOUCHARD There's one in every class and the class of '46 is no exception. Bill Bouchard the wit or according to Father Aherne the half-wit has come to be Icnown as one of the most care- free, happy-go-Iuclcy characters around the Patio. In his four years at Saints, Bill has shown an undying school spirit which has made him all the more popular with his fellow students. I'Ie is an enthusiastic supporter of all social events and is always willing to lend a helping hand whenever needed. Life has not always been gay for Bill though. One gloomy morning he appeared in the Patio without his usual cheerfulness. Yes, it had happened, the very thing that Bill had dreaded for months, the thought of which had cost him many sleepless nights. lYes. it nad happened and he had to face it.l His girl had gone baclc to Arlcansas. But, Bill, not being one to fret and worry over a long period of time, has long since recovered from the harsh blow dealt to him by life, A.S.B. President 4 A.S.B.

Besides being editor of the Augus' tinian he is co-editor of the annual, vice-presi- dent of the Student Body. member of the Glee Club and Drama Club, and also a char- ter member of the newly organized Bowling League, just to mention a few things. As editor of the school paper Bergy has quite a time around the end of each month when he madly collects articles to be sent to the printer. lt is at this time that Bergy leaps into a peculiar sort of fit, common only to editors. These fits are usually brought on by a few simple words, l haven't finished my article yet. Besides doing a fine job as editor of the paper and being tied in with so many other activities, he is always Johnny-on-the-spot when it comes to promoting or supporting any form of social activity around school. Bergy is uncertain, as are many of his classmates, as to what he will be doing after graduation. Camera Club l Glee Club 3 Annual Staff 4 A.S.B.

Today he is a senior and during these four years he has won the friendship of all his classmates. Buz, as he is called by all his classmates, has for the last three years been a member of The Handsome Devil Club lhow he ever got in-oh well, you should see the rest of the membersl. His favorite lilces are working at the post- office, going out with Louise, his steady, at- tending meetings of the H.D.C.. and going to a certain Sorority House in Los Angeles. Buz, besides being a handsome dog, is also gifted with a fine sense of humor. Every now and then he will let a cool remarlc flow from his mouth and send the class into an up- roar and himself to Father Glynn. lf the army does not get him, he intends to go to St. Mary's College. Here is wishing a happy and successful tuture to a gentleman, scholar and sportsman. Annual Statt 4 R.O.T.C. I Aero Club I JIM COSTELLO Jim is one whose kind disposition and tacetious words make us wish that his stay here with us were longer, Hardly a day goes by that Jim does not send the class into an uproar at the expense ot the Solid Geometry teacher lwho promptly floors him on his knees, that isl. Jim, like his brother betore him, is an ardent supporter of good old Nebraska lor is it Oklahomal. Well, it's one ot those smaller states. Almost every day atter school he can be seen playing basketball Ihis tavorite sportl with the Fins. They torm the nucleus ot the St. Didicus basketball team. It after playing a game against them you are still in one piece-you are lucky son, lucky. Although he is not one ot the best players in the school, he is one ot the tightingest. With such spirit and energy as you pos- sess, Jim, we know that there will be no detours on your lite's road. CHARLES CAWTHOIN ln every graduating class there are a few seen-but-not-heard fellows, and in this present class, Charlie is one ot them. His dignity has gained tor him the comradeship ot each and every member ot his class. Charlie's at- tendance at the school activities shows that he has what it takes as tar as school spirit goes. Being a tour-year man around the Patio, he has become attached to his alma mater, as any student who has any interest in his school should: and has manifested this interest openly. The reason tor his being chosen to do the work on the cover ot this yearbook is quite evident, tor Charlie has a very steady and exacting hand, which may in the tuture bring him to the threshold of success, his ingenuity carrying him the rest of the way up the long, hard road. A bright and prosperous tuture lies ahead ot Charles Caw- thon and those who have had the pleasure to know him are sure he will make the grade. B Basketball 2 Glee Club 3, 4 Catholic Action 3 Augustinian Staff 3 Altar Boys 4 RICHARD DOWLING In the graduating class of 46, there is one fellow whose achievements in the major sport of the school, football, is not to be slighted. During DicIr's four-year stay at Saints, he has played three years of football: which for any boy in high school is quite a feat, His undying spirit in the midst of a losing battle and honest integrity won for him a three-year stay in the Varsity A Club. Although DicIr's first love is football, the tall, well-built lad from Kentucky has by no means overlooked the social affairs of the school. His love for good music is shown by his at- tendance at all the school dances, and his character is brought into the light by the fact of his being in the Sodality at Saints in his Freshman and Sophomore years. All things being equal, DicIr's popularity with his fellow students illustrates his well-rounded personal- ity and unrelenting spirit of cheerfulness that he imparts by his presence. His chief worry at the moment is whether he will be drafted or not, a question which is in the mind of many of his classmates, who have just reached that critical age. Aero Club I R.O.T.C.

He is one of the most quiet fellows in the senior class, and is proud of the fact that he has played in the school band, despite any destructive criticisms which are offered by his fellow students. Tom's uproarious laughter, when he catches on to a jolre, is an instrument of delight and a sense of victory for the jokester. His favor- ite sport is football, and he, like the other football enthusiasts, can be seen playing a hard, rough-and-tumble game on the field in every spare moment. I'le also has a great desire to argue or rather debate points of common interest, especially in the history class. Since his arrival at Saints his interest in school worlr, particularly math, as well as his interest in social events, has endeared him as a well-lilred personality with the students as well as the faculty. Track 3 Glee Club 3, 4 RUDOLPH GALINDO The Lemon Grove Special Rudy Ga- lindo. better known around the Patio as 7Rudy Boy,'5 is one ot the roughest and wittiest members ot this class. He can usu- ally be tound with Grissy amusing the boys with some jokes. It you happened to be passing by our English class and heard a loud roar trom the students you could be sure that Rudy was answering a question. Rudy has a swell sense othumor and is always good tor a laugh. Although he was unable to take part in competitive sports on account ot a job atter school, Rudy was one ot the school's great- est rooters and could always be seen at the tootball games at which he became lcnown as the bubble king. Both in his Junior and Senior years he was a member ot the Glee Club where he could always be heard playing the piano fthe Dave Minor way-ot coursel with his specialty num- bers, Darling, l Am Growing Old and Danny Boy. HARRY FAUCHER Young, handsome, and rugged. that's our Harry, who is better known as the Great Elucidator. Behind those rosy and that smiling face is a mind containing a great deal ot knowledge. Every day Harry increases this knowledge by plaguing Father Kiernan with a million ques- tions in the tourth year Religion Class lHarry is just consumed with a great thirst tor learn- ingl. ln the ranks ot St. Augustine strong men we tind Harry. Although he is not very tall, he is one ot the strongest men in the class and every now and then he can be seen beat- ing some weaker human being into submission.

Bob is the biggest boy in the class and for the last two years has been the mainstay of the basketball team, showing a great in- terest also in football and baseball. Basketball, flooring someone lwhich is an easy task for Bobl, testing his strength on some poor unfortunate creature, and control- ing the free-thinkers lone of the political parties in the Civics Classl are his favorite likes.

There is not one person in the class who does not look up to Bob lnot because of his heightl but because of his fine character.

Dick has to his cre ' two years of band. which he is proud of, an also a year in the Aero Club which shows his interest in outside school activities. His broad smile and pleasant disposition all go together to make up a character which is founded on good. clean living. Dick's origin was Oklahoma. but in his stay in California he has become at- tached to the sunny state. A problem which weighs heavily on his mind is the draft, for he turned eighteen the seventh of April. Dick has hopes of becoming a chemical engineer, a field which is quite difficult to major in: knowing Dick as he is though, one is reassured he will succeed in his chosen profession, A.S.B. Treasurer 3 46 Club Treasurer 3 President of Altar Boys 4 Basketball 2, 3, Tennis Club 3, 4 Annual Staff 4 Prom Committee 4 St. Thomas More Club 4 ALFRED GUERIN Alf, as he is familiarly known around the Patio, has been an important figure at Saints for the last four years. One of the charter members of the class, he has displayed his ability on the baseball diamond, the gridiron, and the basketball courts. He was at his best on the football team, being one of the most elusive backs that Saint Augustine has ever had. He was especially honored by being chosen one of the best offensive players of the year. He also served as co-captain of the team. Alf likewise took time to devote his talents to the drama. He managed to qualify for one of the leading roles in the senior play, The Sunshine Twins. While in his junior year, Guerin was chosen to be the first president of the 46 Club, and Ied it to a very successful social year. WILLIAM GRISWOLD During BilI's four-year stay at Saints, he has earned a reputation as being one of the most cleverly facetious characters the Patio has ever had chance to retain. His undying sense of humor has labelled him as the class wit. Although some of his humor is a bit out of date, he always manages to bring forth a laugh from someone. BiIl'S hard luck in running for an office in the class or school did by no means discourage him: he was always in there pitching. He has quite a way with the fairer sex, as the title of president of the Handsome Devils Club would imply. While at Saints he has taken active part in sports as two years on the basketball squad proves, along with two years in the Tennis Club. Due to eye trouble, Bill has been forced to wear dark glasses, this giving him the title of Hol- lywood Bill. He is best noted for his repar- tee and quick thinking, and last but not least his casual satirical remarks, His personality is one which undoubtedly will be of the utmost importance to him when he is out in the busi- ness world.

Some of the more fortu- nate have the great gift of intelligence: others who are less fortunate seem to be left out of the picture: 'nevertheless each in his own humble way contributes some important and very necessary factor to the composition of suc a class. Henry is one of these elements. Without the little things that his presence in the class offers, there would not be any class at all. During his stay of four years at Saints, he has become well liked by one and all for his soft-spoken manner and honest devotion to duty. Henry is an active member of the school supporting with hearty enthusiasm all the dances and other various curricula the school has to offer. Rifle Club President 4 JV Football 4 St. Thomas More Club 4 PAUL JOLLY Jolly, 240 pounds of the kind of char- acter that the name implies, was a new man around the Patio this year hailing from Hoover High. Hoover's loss has been our gain not only in weight, but also in spirit. Paul was quick to mix into the affairs around school possibly because of his spar- kling character which has won friends for him wherever he goes. Two things which has made Paul especially popular is his good sportsmanship and his good-naturedness. ln his short time at Saints, Paul has prac- tically coined two short sentences- Father, l'm not talking and l'm not eating an thing. Father. These statements being falsilied in most cases, he has become one of the steadi- est customers of the .lug Class. Paul tried his hand at J.V. football but quit early in the season. lt is not known yet whether he quit the team because he couldn't compete with the more impacting gentlemen or because he was afraid he would fall on somebody. With his good-naturedness and his never- say-die spirit we at Saints expect big things from Paul, after he leaves the Patio and takes up his life work. FRED KASSNER Kassy is one whose pleasing personality and inviting manner cannot be resisted. His popularity ig evidenced by the tact that he has been with us only ,two years, has held two or three class ottices and has been a member ot most ot the important committees. Kassy hails from the great state New York, which according to him is the best place on this earth. The boys have a big time kid- ding Kassy about his peculiar accent, and they sit engrossed while he reads. Although he is one ot the smaller members of the class, he is also one of the strongest. His tavorite pastimes are lifting weights, prais- ing New York, and the most important ot all his pastimes, girls. He is a neat, clean-appearing chap, and has a very nice way with the girls. He can be seen on Monday morning telling the boys about his big date Sunday, and giving the Glee Club 4 less fortunate boys tips on how to make love.

This year he was the business manager ot the Drama Club and to him goes a portion ot the credit for this year's fine play. He untir- ingly gave his time and energy to selling tickets and taking care of the various business connected with the play. Jim was also chair- man ot the Halo Hop Committee and here also he proved his powers of salesmanship and ingenuity. Bowling Club 4 Jim is one ot the school's greatest sup- porters, always willing to do anything and everything he can to help the school. To Sum it up, Jim is a swell guy, The Class ot '46 is proud to have him among its members. 'D I 4,l ' LESTER KINKEL In the long list ofthe unsung heroes, deep in the very heart of the present graduating class, is one Lester Kinkel. Lester's undying school spirit and ever-burning flame of love for his alma mater is something that is not usually noticed openly. During his four-year stay at St. Augustine High School. he has portrayed. just by being what he is, the flower of Christian Youth, the product of a Catholic education and a shining ever-bright example of love and devotion toward the good things of life. Lester is not the noisy rambunctious type of character, but more of the quiet, re- strained fellow, qualities found only in a gen- tleman. As for his attendance at dances and other social activities of the school, his record is hard to surpass, being at everything that he is physically able to attend. His winning smile and red head of hair all go to comprise one of the most likeable members of the class forty-six. Rifle Club 4 Aero Club l R.O.T.C.

Hig genius and proficiency with cars is abundant-but he employs an equal apti- tude towards the women in his life, and it seems that a certain young lady seems to be taking a lot of Joe's time, lately. His sparkling personality, blonde wavy hair, and pleasant smile tend to make him a very popular member of the Senior Class. He is always willing to support every class activity as well as take an active part in school social events. His grammar school background at Sacred Heart has guided him successfully through Saints, and his cherished high school educa- tipn will guide him just as successfully through li e. Joe plans to enter the service after gradua- tion, after which he intends to go to college. But, regardless where he goes, the people he associates with will be favored by his general agreeableness and good nature. Glee Club 4 Prom Committee 4 .l.V. Football 4 Baseball 2 RICHARD NAU MANN Dick, hailing from Buffalo, New York, came to Saints in his junior year. Ever since his arrival in the Patio, things began to look brighter: for Dick is always ready any time and any place, to crack one of his corny jokes. His broad grin and dimpled cheeks suggest humor in themselves. The tone of his voice is something that plays upon the humorous side of everyone and even without half trying he can produce a smile on the gloomiest of faces. Dick is best noted. by the camera which is continually at his side. His interest in this field now may prove to be of the ut- most importance to him on leaving high school. Although Dick was not able to par- ticipate in any sport, he showed a great deal of enthusiasm toward athletics, as to his sup- porting of dances and football games and such manifested. ln his two years at Saints, he has become one of the best-liked fellows in the class of forty-six and also a leading personality with his newly acquired friends. , 744 QM NORBERT MANDOLf Answers to the name of Knobby. is usu- ally quiet and reserved, except when some occasion presents itself. He is a very friendly and cooperative fellow, who likes dancing and who also is quite a lady killer. Nobby'5 pet weakness is sleeping during English class, which more than exasperates the teacher who is trying to put some statement across. One of Knobby's favorite pastimes is skiing, and he may be found on nearly every vacation and even during school time taking a trip to the mountains. He finds supreme delight in danc- ing and his presence at all the school dances proves this statement. Being a rabid football enthusiast, Knobby could be observed at all the games cheering his team on to victory: it was not till his senior year that he was able to take an active part on the team. His delightful mannerisms and quaint and novel expressions makes him a favorite with the boys as well as the girls. Annual Staff Bowling Club 4 Q LOUIS NIGRO Lou, a popular personage around the Patio for four years, probably has a larger collection of nicknames than any other Senior. Larrupin' Lou, as he is known by some of his class- mates. maintains that he is quite an intelligent fellow especially at math and science and he has his little brother to back up this state- ment. Lou has not only been blessed with out- standing intellectual ability, but has an abun- dance of athletic ability also, another thing that Lou insists on. l'le has not let anyone around the Patio lose sight of the fact that he made six of the forty points scored by the Saints eleven against St. Agnes. Now putting all kidding aside, Lou, in his long stay at Saints. has established himself as one of the most admired fellows around the Patio. By his sparkling personality, Lou has planted and cultivated many a lifelong friend- ship not only with oldtimers at the school but also with newcomers.

Bob arrived at Saints in the middle of his Sophomore year, Soon his agreeable person- ality and his keen wit won him countless true and lasting friends. The Physics class loves nothing better than to hear Bob read passages from the book in his own inimitable style. Every day he can be seen talking with the Fins la select group of seniorsl discussing girls, one of the most important items in Bob's life. Every now and then he can be seen showing Valdez lliillerl just who is boss. After graduation Bobby would like noth- ing better than to take a long vacation in Mexico lyou see he is eighteenl. But Bob will probably wind up in the army after which he intends to go to college. We are sure, Bob. that with such a spar- kling personality and clever wit you will win all of life's struggles. l St. Thomas Moore Club 4 JOHN PALERMO Coming to Saints as a senior from William Cullen McBride High School in St. Louis, Mis- souri, John, with his sparkling personality and sly sense ot humor, soon gained a host ot friends. A diligent worker in class, he did very well in bringing home silver certificates. He likewise toolc an active part around the Patio and supported all the events ot the school year. He showed his talents extremely well on the gridiron, playing a high brand ot ball from his guard spot and winning a varsity letter at the close ot the season, John also was chosen to assist in preparing this year's edition ot the annual, on which he served as associate editor. His plans after graduation have already been tormed tor him by his Uncle Sam and in the tuture you may address him as Private Palermo. RICHARD OSBORN Richard's progress at St. Augustine has been rapid since his enrollment. Although hampered by ill health he drove torward to reach high places in scholastic standings. His quiet manner is something which most young men do not acquire very easily. To say that he is a gentleman and a scholar would surruge his friendly but sometimes belligerent char- acter, Richard's belief in taking only what is his is another admirable portion of his charac- ter. He is a studious, hard-working student and is usually seen with a large staclc of boolcs. His interest in school worlc expresses itselt in his grades and is also manifested by his recita- tion in class. Richard is tond of debating over prominent political questions and can usually be seen in a heated argument outside ot the history class. No matter what his voca- tion may be, he no doubt will be a success. Football 4 Varsity A Club 4 Annual Staff 4 TED PATTERSON Ted, coming to us in his Sophomore year, has since climbed the high ladder to success when he became president of the Fins, a very exclusive club here at the Patio. Always friendly, courteous and eager to help, Ted can probably best be known for his avid interest in scientific things, besides a tangible affinity for the girls. After school work kept this brawny oung entleman from participating in sports flor his first two years but this year he was one of the stalwarts of the Junior Varsity football team. After graduation, Ted intends to take things easy for a while and then cash in on an already obtained appointment to Anna- polis. We are certain that his life in the Navy will be fruitful-his associates will in- deed be fortunate to be in contact with such a personable character.

Since then Joe has made hundreds of friends by his jovial character and good humor. Joes believes, as does the famous Senator Claghorne, that Jefferson Davis would have made a much better president than Lincoln and as a true Southerner, Joe invariably closes his eyes when he passes the Grant Hotel. But putting aside Joe's political prejudices we see that he is one of the most active members of the school not only in social ac- tivities but also in sports. By hard earnest work he became one of the main cogs in the Purple and the Gold football machine. Joe has two favorite pastimes. sailing and girls. l'le likes his boats as he likes his girls, trim. That old man with whiskers has been cor- responding with Joe, quite regular-so he ex- pects to be in the army soon after school is out. Camera Club I Bowling Club 4 Annual Staff 4 PAUL SMITH Paul, the strong silent type, first appeared around the patio in I943, and has since in his own quiet way contributed greatly to the reservoir of good fellowship found in the class of 46. I'le has gained esteem around the Patio by his non-offending manner and his pleasingly jovial character. Paul has not participated in sports very much. adhering to the social side of patio life, and is always ready to do more than his share in regard to social activities. Being born in Southern California, Paul has joined the ranlcs of the notorious Senator Claghorne Club. I-le is a strong advocate of the Senator's policies and believes he should be elected to the presidency to malce up for the raw deal Jefferson Davis got. If not drafted Paul plans to study to be- come a pharmacist. Considering his past record at Saints the whole senior class admits that they will not be worried about prescrip- tions filled by him. TOM RODRIGUEZ Roddy, as he is sometimes called by his fellow classmates, was born in Los Angeles in I927. I'le is one of the charter members of the class, having had the courage to come baclc tor more punishment each year. Al- though usually quiet and secluded, he can. when he sees fit to do so, put his two cents into any argument or discussion. He proved this by joining the unpredictable Free Thinlc- ers of Father Kiernan's United States History Class and causing no end of trouble to the Southern Democrats. Being ot an artistic nature Tom spent many long and tedious hours drawing portraits for the yearboolc, of which it is generally said he did an excellent job. After graduation he plans to study art at the University of Mexico and follow the career of an artist. Annual Staff 4 St. Thomas Moore Club 4 C Basketball 2 EDWARD SWAIN Ed, a charter member of the class of 46, has been a rather silent but active citizen of Saint Augustine during his four-year stay here. Usually, never one to say much, some morn- ings before school he can be seen blissfully choking Ulrnen while his buddy, Cawthon, vainly tries to pull him off the floor. Ed lilies nothing better than to argue a difficult clause of the Constitution with Father Kiernan in Civics Class. During a recent Na- tional Convention, in the class, he became so provolced at the election that he started his own Liberal Party and practically controlled the convention. When Ed leaves the Patio, his plans are rather indefinite-although sooner or later he expects to go to college. When Brother Herny came down this spring from St. Mary's, he impressed Ed deeply and perhaps he may choose Moraga as the home of his future learning. .

He has gotten behind and solidly supported every activity the class has taken on. He showed that he has what it takes when he was appointed to the Student Council, On top of this he put in many hours of worlc as a member of the Annual Staff and the Prom Committee. Joe has several peculiarities, such as never being without a tie. which seems to be a passion with him, and giving up dancing for Lent. ln this latter nobody has yet been able to determine who was the better off, Joe or the girls. After graduation Joe plans to continue on to the priesthood as an Augustinian father. He will take up studies at Staten Island. We are all sure that Joe will make a very good priest, and who knows, he might show up at Saints again sometime lon the faculty, of coursel. A Basketball 4 Skating Club 4 GERALD ULMEN Although Jerry, as he is called, is on the small side, he manages to keep right up in front with the biggest ot the big fellows. He is a tour-year man at St. Augustine High School, and his smiling countenance will no doubt be missed around the Patio come June 4. Jerry has a predominately quiet nature, though once in a while he does quite a bit ot talking during English Class. His escapades on senior ditch day just go to prove that he ig one ot the boys. His popularity with his classmates was shown when he was elected president ot the convention being held by the history class, winning the election by a wide margin ot votes. Not to be neglected is his spirit in attendance and active partaking in dances and school attairs. His enthusiasm in outside-ot-school clubs is shown by the tact ot his membership in the Aero Club and the assistance he employed in typing out parts ot this yearbook. GENE TURLEY Coming trom Kearny High School in his Senior year, Gene has become one ot the better-known tigures in the Senior Class. Gene before long became known as The Lover because ot his sly way with the Wom- en, One ot his main worries ig keeping his class ring lthere are just so many women after it-so he tells usl. A proficient basketball player, Gene be- came one ot the sparks ot this year'5 varsity. He could always be seen at practice and what he lacked in ability was made up in fighting spirit. Whether he was in the game or on the bench, he was one ot the team's greatest supporters. Gene has what it takes to make a great success and we tirmly hope that good tortune will always be with him. Sodality I Aero Club I JAMES VALDEZ Jimmy, who might be called The little man who is always there -The reason: he is always found in the midst of things, giving his support to all school functions. He takes great delight in showing the boys the new dance steps he picks up from his girl friends- is quite the ladies' man. Darla, good natured, Jimmy is an active member of the senior class, and can be seen at most every dance: usually with a different time every time, his motto being love 'em and leave 'em. ln spite of the fact that he is a ladies' man, this mighty mite still finds time to go swimming with the fellows, thus showing he is equally popular with the boys as well as the girls. .lim's sense of humor is all that is needed to top off a well-rounded personality, which is enjoyed by all in his company. l-lig favorite subjects are lunch and gym, although he is fairly com- petent in the others.

Never one to take things seriously, Bill was always ready with a jolce or a laugh and quite often liept the class in stitches with his timely remarlcs. After graduation, being eligible for the draft, he plans to serve a term in the services of his Uncle Sam. After that he hopes to go on to college and major in physical education and become an athletic director. With his love of sports, none of us doubts that he will be a great success in this vocation. J.V. Football 3, 4 Bowling Club 4 JIM YOUNG A three-year man at Saints, Jimmy was born in Mitchell, South Dakota, and tirst showed his tace around the Patio in Septem- ber ot '43, l le has always been a tavorite with Saintsmen, During his senior year he acquired the prized possession ot his lite, a car. He is always ready tor a drag down the avenue and more than once has given some unsuspecting person what he calls a triendly chop. Behind his innocent countenance lurks a belligerent attitude toward school, and he has taken a tew days' vacation here and there usually to the point ot irking Father Glynn and receiving tive hours' jug. l-lis ambition is to become a reporter on a New York paper but Father Aherne insists that he will have to improve his use ot the English language tirst. DON WILKINS Corporal Wilkins, a name derived from his joining the State Guard along with several others around the Patio, has been dragging his somewhat portly frame to Saints every morning lexcept tor those days when the beach was more invitingj for the last three years. Don was born in Mason City, Iowa, and seems to have been greatly influenced by his home state and the sound ot sou-u-u pig tloating gently over the countryside tor he has tuture aspects ot becoming a butcher and owning a chain ot meat markets. Belonging to an easy-going nature Don was never one to worry about applying him- selt to studies, but just took his time and coasted through school. Seriously though, we all expect him to be a big success in his profession of lite.

But as we look bacla across this span of years, and at our predecessors in classroo-ms which we once filled, we can see their boyish nature dissolv- ing and their mature aspect of life more and more revealed. When they attain their final goal in high school, their senior year and graduation, this fact will be engraved as deeply on their minds as it has ours. So, these next few pages are set aside to present the Underclass, the lifeblood of the school, in whose hands the Future lays a responsibility, a burden, a challenge. .gwi fx fig 3 if fig' ii!! is I Be 2 122 gg Q , , F5 ,bu W-21 Q 2.

Because ot its size, the class was divided into two sections. After going through the usual initiations. they elected their class officers. Those chosen to hold office in class A were: Joseph Galindo, president: Charles Jost, vice-president: Arthur Borchart, secretary: John Gonsalves. treasurer: and Ivan Radovich, who held the ottice ot historian. Joseph Labrincha and Albert Shepherd were the class representatives on the student council. The otticers ot B were: Patrick Kennedy, president: William Wright, secretary: and Richard Betourne. treasurer. The class representatives were Daniel Baker and Jerry Gress. Only two mmbers ot the class were able to quality tor varsity football. The class as a whole was well represented on the baslcetball and baseball teams. When school was resumed again next September, the class was par- titioned into two groups as before. Elections were held and the ottice of Allen Ashley Balrer Betourne pion Dahmcrr Darcy R, Donnelly Seller president was taken over by John McGrath. Those who were appointed to work with him were: Dick Betourne, vice-president: and Patrick Ken- nedy, secretary-treasurer. Section ll appointed only two officers. These were: Jim Faircloth, president: and Gene Erzinger, treasurer. Because of the many student body activities, the only class activity was a beach party held in the latter part of the year. Father O'Malley's basketball and baseball squads were made up mostly of sophomores. Only a few managed to attain positions on the football and track teams. In the following September, the class of 47 again resumed their studies at Saints. Gene Erzinger was chosen president: Jerry Gress, vice- president: and Joseph Galindo, secretary-treasurer. The class was well represented on the football and basketball teams, with a few going out for baseball. Juniors who held positions onthe Augustinian staff were: Pat Kennedy, sports editor: Jerry O'Brien and John Powers, news staff: Gene Erzinger, sports staff: Clyde Flynn and Jim Warne, feature writers: and Bill Stone- house, art editor. ley Ensch Erzinger D.

The reasons tor this division were tirst because ot the exceptionally large amount ot students, and secondly because ot the varied group ot studies taken by them. Statted by competent otticers elected by their classmates, the classes were led through Intramural Sports, a cake sale and other activities. As is the custom tor sophomore Saintsmen, they supported the annual play with certain tunds tor the program and with talented actors. ln Section I. Bob Eick was elected president, while his tellow otticers were Ferd Spieker, elected vice-president: Leonard Phlaum, secretary, while Ed Gray, elected treasurer, was replaced in the second quarter, when he resigned, by Louis Daly. Eerd Spieker having moved, he was replaced in ottice by Keith Marshall. Elections in Section Il were as tollows: Ed Fishing was made president, and tor supporters his classmates elected Horatio Ouinones as vice-president and Joe Arndt as treasurer. Frank Murray was awarded the ottice ot secretary. Several sophomores excelled in sports this year: Bob Ashley, Cosimo Busalacchi, Ronnie Berg, Paul Dawson, Max Maddox and Horatio Ouinones making Junior Varsity Football. Don Yeoman was placed on the varsity. In basketball sophomores also made a place tor themselves: Ed Gray, Rudy Ortega, Sonny Long and Don Yeoman played the B team, while Jack Bauer, Manuel Armandariz, and Tonie Vidrio tound places on the C team. Baseball hit a new peak with Don Laplante, Calvin Brown, Cosimo Busa- Iaechi, Rudy Ortega, Ed Gray, Frank Boland and l'Ienry Fitch representing the tenth graders.

Bowen Britt Castro FRESI-IMAN CLASS I-IISTGRY A class of ninety-five promising young men was formally launched on its high school career in September, I945, with the celebration of Mass in the Chapel by the Very Reverend Wilbur R. Kirk. O. S. A., Principal of St, Augustine High School. Because of its great size. the class was divided into two classes: Freshman l, and Freshman ll. The election of officers was the first major work of these classes. The ruling powers of Freshman I were: Paul True, president: Frank Crowley, vice-president: Charles Ogle, secretary and treasurer: and Raymond Yanes, student body representative. Julius Zolezzi, president: Norman Virissimo, vice-president: Adolph Romero, secretary and treasurer: and David Champion, student body representative, were the officers guiding the ship of state of Freshman Il. Of the many freshmen that answered the call to the gridiron, only three gained varsity letters. These gridders were: Julius Zolezzi, Adolph Choppo Romero, and Norman Cookie Virissimo. All were members of Freshman Il. The football spirit was also shown by Freshman ll on the Junior Varsity team. The lettermen were Ralph Labastida and Clinton I-larless. The manager's post on the Junior Varsity was held by A. Winczewski, Freshman I. During the basketball season, twelve freshmen played on the B and C teams. In Freshman I, the B team member was Robert Shell. Shannon Jackson and Farrell Patton were the representatives from Freshman I on the C team. Again the Freshman ll class showed its superior athletic ability-this time on the basketball court. The ball wielders from this class were: Ralph Davis, Jerry Turley, Joseph Eddy, James Lessing, Joseph Van Orsohaven, all members of the C team. Julius Zolezzi was the sole member of Freshman ll on the B basketball team. From Freshman I came the B and C team managers: Clyde Craig, and John Howard. In the first year of their high school education the freshmen have showed their tremendous spirit. This fine spirit prevailed in the classrooms as on the gridiron and basketball courts. When the class of 49 returns to the patio next year, Saints can expect it to show this same determined spirit to make St. Augustine a bigger and better school. D.

For the most part these things are positive, they're clear-cut-but, sometimes superficial. I-Ie is not familiar with, and tears society: he theretore Iaclcs personality-and thus remains a social outcast until Divine Will or cruel experience revive him. It is true that a Catholic school ot this type de- mands a complete academic program to take care ot a person's scholastic ability, and a tull sports calendar tor his athletic ability: but also it de- mands a well-rounded social and activated schedule as well. As you Ioolc through these next tew pages you will see the various extracurricular activities, dances, and clubs. They will serve to manitest the progressive spirit embodied in the school. ,, , amy . xx. is N if . X N X Q? EE S- - M.. Y Q S GX XPC E K X N yi W , why! X S S5 O - x J Q .

X 56 Sf RETREAT This year the annual retreat, which is a tradition of St. Augustine l-ligh School, was also held on the first three days of l-loly Week. The retreat master was Father John Sparrow, O.S.A., who left his teaching obligations at Villanova Prep School, Ojai, California, to guide the Saintsmen through the different phases of the retreat during these three days. Father began the retreat by calling upon the ,aid and grace of the l-loly Ghost to make the retreat successful and effective. l-le explained the attitude necessary and purpose of a retreat, which he defined as holding a mirror before one's self to behold one's real characteristics, while to also determine just where one stands with God. Acting .as a navigator of a boat, Father Sparrow picked various subjects, discussing them while the students meditated and brought them before the imagin- ary mirror to obtain their respective standings. Then on the third and final day the retreat was brought to .a glorious close with the reception of l-loly Communion by all the patio men, the Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. and the Papal Blessing.

VARSITY A CLUB Since its introduction here three years ago by Father McDermott, the Varsity A Club has become one ot the most exclusive yet one ot the most active clubs on the campus. To gain admission to the club one must earn a varsity letter in any ot the three major sports, and take an unwritten vow to support all the activi- ties sponsored by the club or by the school. One ot the activities ot the club this year was a very successful semi-formal dance, November 30, in the San Diego Womens Clubhouse. The club also sees to it that only those who have earned letters can wear them. This rule alone has built up the spirit ot competition in the school, and the members ot this organization are, perhaps, envied above the students in other clubs in the school. Father McDermott has great plans tor his Monogram Society in years to come, but now his teams must first justify the honors and privileges which he is eager to give them.

CLEON DALBY BAND In its sixth year as a musical organization, Saint Augustine l-ligh School Band, composed ot 24 mem- bers, received a new director and with him a new pro- gram. This man is Mr. Cleon Dalby, noted director who has conducted bands in Colorado and Utah. The program is one ot construction. Mr. Dalby's plan is to retrain trom making any band engagements this year, but instead teach the members the fundamentals nec- essary tor an organization ot this type, get as much practice playing in unison as possible, in order that Saints may have a well-trained band in I947. With this in mind, the band's 47 schedule will include entertaining at tootball, basketball and base- ball games, the annual Drama Classic and Graduation Ceremonies. Consequently, we are all looking forward to the Band ot 47 which we teel sure will make St. Augustine l-ligh School proud. CLEE CLUB Although commencing very late in the second semester Father Starrs, by popular request ot the musically inclined students, again organized The Augustine Glee Club tor its third successive year. Father went to worlr and in a very briet period secured the services ot Mrs. Wilson, St. Didicus organist who graciously consented to direct the group. Mrs. Wilson, in seelcing a night tor practice which would be convenient tor everyone, then selected Wednesday evening as the otticial meeting night. All ot these meetings were held in the St. Patriclcs Grammar School. The tirst step in shaping the Glee Club was separating the various voices into their respective categories. The result being three-part har- mony. l-laving completed this taslc, the group earnestly set to worlc study- ing and learning their parts. Due to the laclc ot time, members had to spend many additional hours practicing in order to meet the deadline tor their tirst public appearance at the graduation ceremonies. And last but not least, is a person deserving much acclaim tor her wondertul job as accompanist, Miss Grace Bently, who with the united ettorts ot Mrs. Wilson have earned the esteem ot all the members. With- out their assistance there would have been no Glee Club. lrrul ri ff, l. li, r.: lhilirriiiri, ltuiirpliriya Piiwii-., Warn., Kivnri-. Siiorid rirw, l. lo r.: Kiirlul, Slum' li,.,,',,, C,.

The Sunshine Twins, staged before I-lis Excellency, Bishop Buddy. Fathers of the Faculty, as well as the good parents and many friends of the Patio Players, was. in the judgment of the audience, one of the clev- erest offerings ever presented by the Patio Players. The play with its witty lines, amusing situations, convulsed the audience with laughter. lt was a play that the audience not only liked, but also that the cast enjoyed work- ing on for its genuine humor and the opportunity for interesting character- izations. The curtain calls found Mary Boyd, of Our Lady of Peace Academy, and Robert Walling in the leading roles of brother and sister twins: fem- inine roles in the play were taken by Sharon McNeece, Agnus Ann Jones, Marilyn I-licks, Delores Shroeder and Monica Engelhart of the Academy of Our Lady of Peace. In the male roles were John Brady, Joseph Tausch, Anthony Bregante and Alfred Guerin. The setting was by Joseph Poehl- man and Lawrence Baclre. The lighting by John Kilcoyne. The entire pro- duction was under the personal direction of Rev. Benjamin J. Kiernan, O.S.A. pi -W 'M dh? am' 'W' Q?

After much ado and bicker- ing, the offices were filled as follows: President, Jim Darcy: Vice-President, Jim Donnelly, Treasurer, Dan Baker, and Secretary, John Russell. This club, which is something new around the patio, this being its sec- ond year, has provided for many boys an opportunity to become an active member of the school. The Club has a regular skating session every Wednesday afternoon at Glacier Gardens . The number of fellows in this club show the popularity of the sport. The maze of flashing blades, the grace and form of an experienced skater, and also the awkwardness of an inexperienced skater, all go to comprise the surroundings which greet the members of the club every Wednesday evening as they don their skates and begin to skate on the ice. By the attendance of the members every week, it appears that this new club will be a stationary fixture from now on around the patio. BCDWLING CLUB This year marlced the birth ot a new activity around the Patio. Bowling, becoming very popular around the school, attracted many ot the Saints- men when the announcement ot the tormation ot the league was made in January: but since then a considerable number dropped oft, leaving only those who were enthusiastic about the new activity and also leaving a much better league. Father Williams, who was in charge ot many other activities around school, was the tounder ot the club and served as taculty moderator and otticial riot disperser tor the league. Besides his worlc ot taking care ot the league's business, Father tound time to bowl a tew games now and then to show the boys how a good bowler does it. The league was made up ot two consistent clubs: the Wharf Rats and the Alley Cats . Those on the Wharf Rats were Anthony Bre- gante, Lou Nigro, Jim Nigro, Jerry Gvress, Tom Busalacchi, Sunny Busa- lacchig and Richard Gray, Joe Tauch, Dick Naumann, Jim Kennedy and Fred Kassner made up the Alley Cats . There is still one more club which had been given the curious title ot Miscellaneous Incorporated , so named because it consisted ot fellows who were not as regular in attend- ance as the others. Among these are Bill Fransway, John McGrath, Don Kevane, Joe Galindo, John Farnon, and Ed Swain. The league met each weelc on Tuesday at the l-lillcrest Bowling alleys, and played tor colces: the boys claiming that it was much more interesting that way. First row, l. to r.: Ol-tara, Mullins, J.

S. B. BALL Traditionally, since the tounding ot our Student Body Government, the A.S.B. Ball has been the semi-formal classic ot the year. It was usually held in a pleasant setting. with a good orchestra, and attended by a rep- resentative crowd-but this year the school put on something spectacular. On the night of February 28, one hundred and twenty-tive couples tiled into the main ballroom ot exclusive l-lotel del Coronado, to dance to the mellow strains ot Dick l-larvey's Grchestra, and to participate in one ot the biggest and most successful dances in the history ot the school. Jack Brady, A.S.B. President, could be seen weeks betore the dance begging the timid Freshmen to go or at least buy a bid. The climax ot the attair was the traditional crowning of the couple who were chosen to be king and queen ot. the Ball. Mrs. Benson, chaperone, Father McDermott, and Father Aherne were the judges and their choice was Mary Brietmeyer, queen, and John Kilcoyne, king. Each was given a sterling silver identification bracelet and Mrs. Benson, a gold compact. As the tones ot the last dance died away and the couples made their way home, a memory lingered which still remains: and this dance will mark another phase in a short but pleasant high school career. isle' N X Q 0-I 99 60 PQ ,Zi 6 x Q 'F ,Ni 5 .1 g 'S wi E it QQ M wif Bottom row, l, to r.: Bregante, Brady.

When the editorial staff was chosen from the class of '46, the members knew that their work was laid out for them: they knew that they must produce an annual which would capture the spirit of the class, yet maintain the perfection embodied in preceding yearbooks. Father Aherne, working diligently with his staff for the fourth consecu- tive year, supplied invaluable literary and critical advice which made many seemingly insuperable problems trivial. The photography. under the able direction of Father David Ryan, began early in the year so that there would be no last-minute haste in preparing the pictorals for publication. The many shots of campus life seen throughout this book were taken, developed and printed by him and his staff. The staff selected by Father Aherne included Co-editors Anthony Bregante and Jack Brady, who were responsible for most of the writing and planning of the book. To assist them he appointed as associate ed- itors William Griswold, Fred Kassner, John Palermo and Paul Smith. The Business, under the direction of Father William McDermott, fac- ulty advisor, and John Kilcoyne, student manager, had an excellent start when the entire senior class was excused for one day to obtain ads. They returned with S640 towards the financial end of the enterprise. To aid Father Ryan with photography, Al Guerin, Joseph Tausch, Dudley Buzby, and William Bouchard lent their talents. The Art was put entirely into the hands of our two excellent artists, Tom Rodriquez and Charles Cawthon. So with this staff working in complete harmony, we hope we have brought to you a book which will, in some small way, show the patience and energy which they have put into it. May the i946 THE PURPLE AND Tl-IE GOLD be worthy to take its place beside its predecessors. Tl-IE ALJCLJSTINIAN The Augustinian, under the direction of editor Anthony Bregante and faculty counselor Father John R. Aherne. entered its tenth year of publica- tion as a school paper As in the past, the paper successfully attained the goal established for it-this goal being the complete coverage of all school activities, and the promo-tion of an interest in journalism among the students here at Saints. With the opening of school the staff eagerly set to worlc on the new editions, but the results of these first few issues were not encouraging. Therefore the executive editors planned a program of improvements to correct these faults. The following stimulants provided the necessary punch to renovate the paper: The use of more pictures to draw attention to particular writeups and help explain them. The much needed improve- ments in writing in order that the article might be interesting reading. The addition of a new feature column contributed to making the paper more humorous. A new feature of the Augustinian this year was a special Vocation Issue, which was published in March, the issue's who-le theme being voca- tion to the priesthood. It contained many interesting articles of men who once attended Saints and who are now studying for the priesthood. ln making these improvements we have raised The Augustinian to its established standards, which places it among the highly praised high school publications.

St. Augustine High School maintains that it is necessary to have a well- balanced program of each. The year ot I946 has been a red letter year in Sports here at Saints. It marks the advancement and recognition of our teams as being potential contenders here in San Diego. We have entered big-time competition, proving ourselves successful. ln obtaining such fields and courts as Balboa Stadium, Golden l-lill, l-loover l-ligh School Gym, San Diego l-ligh School Gym upon which to play home games, we attracted a large number ot followers who are interested in our school. Taking another step in expanding our sports program, we entered The Catholic league. This league is composed ot Catholic Schools competing in the three major sports: Football, Basketball, and Baseball. These are only some ot the tew advancements St. Augustine High School has made in order to further promote her athletic program. 5- Q Herr . S X if wx W.

The Purple and The Gold has chalked up the l945 football season as probably the most suc- cessful of the school's gridiron history. Under the capable leadership of Father William McDermott, a strong, hard-hitting team was formed out of the earnest but inexperienced men who reported out for the team in September. Although the team ran into its share of difficulties, it came out at the end of the season with a more than satisfactory record of six wins and four losses. At the beginning of the season, Father Mc- Dermott believing that he possibly had a cham- pionship team, obtained Fred Erdhaus, formerly coaching at Saint Monica, to help with the enor- mous task of shaping a powerful team that would be hard to beat. Through their combined efforts, Father McDermott and Fred put out a fast rough team that was a severe headache to its oppo- nents. Although the team had an exceptional season, in a few cases it fell slightly short of what was expected of it, possibly because of over-confi- dence, but it also showed in more cases than one, that it could do more than that which was ex- pected of it. On the whole, though, Saints backers were well satisfied with the out- come ofthe season. l-ligh expectations are held for the team next year again. Losing only four regulars and three subs, The Purple and The Gold is expected to have another successful season by drawing from its large, talented reserve. Those that will be leaving this year are John Brady, Al Guerin, Joe Poehlman, Dick Dowling, Lou Nigro, Anthony Bregante and Jack Palermo. Nineteen letters were awarded. Recipients were John Brady, Joe Poehlman, AI Guer- in, Dick Dowling, Lou Nigro, Jack Palermo, Bill Rayburn, Joe Galindo, John McGrath, Jesse Thompson, Charlie Jost, Steve Cameron, Choppo Romero, Bill Burrows, Julius Zolezzi, Bob Virissimo, Dick Betourne, Bill Ashley, and Gene Erizinger. Bill Bouchard and Clyde Flynn received letters for their unsung work as managers. FQQTBALL fcontinucdj ST. AUGUSTINE 6-CORONADO 7 The Purple and Gold Tide. duplicating a heartbreaking event of a year ago. dropped another hard-fought contest to Coronado by one point. Neither team scored in the first quarter of the game, but in the second quarter the men from the Island managed to put over a touchdown and an extra point on passes from Melton to Stapp. The Saintsmen came back a few minutes later to score on an end around by Joe Galindo but the try for extra point failed. The game from then on was a scoreless battle, both teams advancing deep into each others' territory but neither being able to reach paydirt. ST. AUGUSTINE I2-GROSSMONT 6 ln a charity game, before 7500 fans, the Purple and Gold edged out the favored Foot- hiller eleven by six points. The Patiomen scored early in the game on an eighteen-yard run off tackle by Burrows. The Saints threatened twice again in the first half but failed to score. In the second half Jack Brady threw a pass to Galindo, who managed to get to the Foothiller four-yard line. Then another pass, this time from Brady to McGlinchey. put the Saints in paydirt once more. Grossmont got its first and only touchdown of the evening when Preston returned the ball 87 yards to the Saints one-yard line on a kickoff and then proceeded the rest of the way on a quarterback sneak. ST. AUGUSTINE 0-LOYOLA 26 On October 26th the Patiomen took their first trip of the season to meet Loyola, the most powerful team of the Catholic league. on the northerners' home ground. The Cubs seemed to rack up their 26 points at will with the Saintsmen giving only a shadow of effective resistance. Leading Loyola's attack was Polard and Cunningham, who ,ac- counted for almost all of the points. The Cubs made one touchdown in the first quarter, one in the second and two in the third to take the game by a landslide. ST. AUGUSTINE 6-PT. LOMA 0 The Purple and Gold traveled to Pt. Loma's Ross Field to hand the Pointers a 6 to O defeat on their own stamping grounds. The first and only tally was made in the second quarter when Jesse Thompson's pass to Julius Zolezze put the Saintsmen on the Pointer 22-yard line and after a series of running plays which put the ball on the opponent's 3- yard line, fullback Dick Betourne plowed over for the touchdo-wn. The try for extra point failed so the score remained 6 to O until the gun went off at the end of the game. Although the Patiomen showed exceptional power on their running plays. they were unable to put over any more points. xi .mv ff ,, ff 4 3 53? . 1 sqjfff fx lg, Q Tarn.. - F N fi NX.

MARY I4 On November 9 the Purple and Gold Tide journeyed to Phoenix, Arizona, to play the most viciously contested games on its '45 calendar. Although considered the under- dog. the Saints went on to win one of the most exciting games of the season. The Purple and Gold scored early in the first quarter when Virissimo carried the ball over the St. Mary goal line on a short plunge. On the kickoff that followed. the St. Mary halfbaclc fumbled the ball in his own end zone and then fell on it, automatically giving Saints 2 more points which proved to be the deciding factor in the game. ln the second quarter St. Mary scored on a series of deceptive reverses and end sweeps. ln the early part of the fourth quarter the Purple and Gold scored again, this time fro-m a series of passes from Jesse Thompson. With the help of the officials, who seemed to be related to the fellows on the St. Mary's team, the Knights managed to put over another touchdown and extra point. This was all of the scoring done in this game, thus leaving the Patiomen with a two-point edge over the Knights. ST. AUGUSTIN-E I2-MT. CARMEL 25 The Crusaders' power proved to be too much for the Purple and Gold defense to withstand. In the first quarter Joe Nally of the northerners went through the center of the line for 57 yards and a touchdown. The Crusaders scored again in the same quar- ter. this time on a line play from the Patio-men's 3-yard line. The Purple and Gold. seeing that they could get nowhere on the T formation, changed to the triclcy spread formation to the puzzlement of the opposition. The first Saint tally was from a spread formation pass from Thompson to Guerin, who was waiting in the end zone. The Crusaders also scored in the second on a pass, making the score read I9 to 6 at the half. Coming baclc after half time, the Crusaders racked up their last touchdown in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter the spread formation pass cliclced once more with Thompson doing the heaving and Burrows do-ing the receiving. This game, one of Saints' hardest-fought contests, was the last game of the season. BASKETBALL After a slow start, this year's basketball team, captained by Bob Gonzales, rounded into a well-balanced quintet. The team dropped its first two practice games, because of lack of practice and lack of a place to practice--but after the first two games they proved to be a team hard to beat. The squad opened its I946 Catholic League play with a 24-I3 defeat of St. Monica High. Jesse Thompson led the scoring witheight points. ln the preliminary game, the Saint Bee team routed the Mariner lightweights 28-I2. Forward Johnny Farnan showed the way with eleven points. In their second Catholic League outing, the team dumped Cathedral High of Los Angeles, 37-20. ln the Bee contest, however, the results were reversed with the Saint lighties losing 38-23. After winning their first two Catholic starts, the Saint team dropped their next two League contests to two strong teams from the Los Angeles area. Saint Anthony's dumped the Monks 32-24 and the following night Mount Carmel tripped them 38-2 I. The Bees salvaged a victory, defeating the St. Anthony Bees 30-2I. ln the Mount Carmel game. however, they lost 34-24. Playing the preliminary game to the University of Arizona-San Diego State College game, the Saint cagers dropped a 29-20 decision to a fast-breaking State College Bee team. ln a closely fought ball game, the Saint Varsity nosed out a hustling Point Loma High team 33-3I as forward Joe Galindo dropped in a basket in the last twenty seconds of play. ln another closely fought game the Monks eked out a 56-54 win over the Denabola Debs, a Navy team. In an afternoon tussle the team crushed Vocational High 27-I5 on the losers' court. ln the Bee game the squad led by Don Yoeman trounced the highly touted Training School Lightweights, 22-IO. Their next encounters in the Catholic League resulted in defeat. But in every game played the team won distinction and praise for fight and spirit. This year's team was handicapped because of the lack of a gym in which to practice but all in all we had a fine team, worthy to carry the colors of Saint Augustine High School. At the end of the season the team scoring was led by Bo-b Gonzalez, the captain, and Jesse Thompson, the outstanding player of this year's Varsity quintet. The C and D teams this year played an informal schedule and did very well.

BASEBALL With the arrival of its new coach, Father Costigan, the baseball team began early in March to run through its workouts in preparation for its fourth Patio season. The prospects seemed bright at the beginning but this outlook soon changed for the worse before the season had hardly begun. The first moral defeat was the failing of Father Costigan's health and his removal to the hospital: the second, although less tragic, was the inability to secure equipment which was, needless to say. vital for the fielding of any dccent team. With the coming of Father Mahoney as coach. the team again began to flicker. l-le revamped the batting order and polished the inficld with a few changes. l-le showed the pitchers new aspects on delivery and worked many hours with the outfielders. Lastly, he showed his boys the intricate fundamentals of team play. And with all this the team cam: up with its first win against a powerhouse from La Jolla High School, 4-3. The team rounds out something like this: Behind the plate we have Al Guerin, vet- eran catcher and powerful batter, playing his third year. At first, we have Jesse Thomp- son, small but potent at the plate-beautiful fielder. At second. in place of the injured Ortega. we have a newcomer, Don La Plant, good fielder but only a light hitter. At short-Ivan Radovich. powerful batter, good fielder-three-year man. Third base also boasts a third year man, John Farnan. good fielder but only a light hitter. The outfield consists of Pat Kennedy and Jack Brady. when they're not pitching, and Joe Long, Sophomore clubber from Point Loma, who anchors down right field. Duke Early is the alternate, and he is also a fancy fielder and good hitter. The pitching staff is composed of two fine chuckers who alone have borne the heavy schedule of games throughout the season. Pat Aces Kennedy, southpaw Ace , as the name implies. l-le has excellent control and plenty of stuff , and will be mainstay of team next year. The other pitcher is Jack Brady, who is winding up his fourth year of baseball here at the Patio. l-le displays an excellent fast ball and sharp-breaking curve, and is equally potent at the plate. So goes the baseball team and. as this Annual goes to press. we hope that they will continue their victorious march till the end of the season. PATRCDNS Most Rev. Charles F. Buddy, D.D. Rt. Rev.

Without the planning, organizing, and supervision of Father John R. Aherne, O.S.A., there would have been no PURPLE 84 GOLD. No word has yet been discovered which could adequately express our heartfelt esteem and gratitude for the services he has rendered. To the many advertisers and patrons, we wish to reveal our thanks for their more than abundant generosity in supplying the necessary financial aid. Then to Father David H. Ryan, O.S.A., we owe a word of gratefulness for the fine job he has done in the photographic field. Father spent many a long and tiring night zealously developing, printing and malcing en- largements of the pictures. Much credit is also given to his hard-worlcing assistants, Diclc Naumann, Joe Tausch, Dudley Buzby, John Kilcoyne and Jim Kennedy. To Father William McDermott, O.S.A., we extend our fervent appre- ciation for the very effective work in guiding the financial end of the annual. We too have praise for Mr. Hal Bruclcer of Neyenesch Printers, who helped us over the technical loops and flaws of publication. To the year-book staff and the many unmentioned who contributed to this seventh edition of THE PURPLE AND THE GOLD, we offer our ardent appreciation, hoping that this issue will stand as a worth-while tribute to your efforts.
