Bamlface Salma! Gala! Spwq, Mamma 41 Qaaewcvul The life of St. Boniface is one reflecting on every side the dazzling miracle of love. Through his unfailing confidence in Christ, our patron became a glowing lesson to prove that love of Christ changes all things. The story of St. Boniface destroying the Sacred Oak, god of the Teutonic tribes, with his axe, and their Paganism with the rod of truth is a familiar one. We, at Stl. Boniface High, are ever grinding our spiritual axes by living Christian lives and absorbing Catholic principles, thus enabling us to combat the foes of Catholicismfcom- munism, materialism, and atheism. Our theme lies in the relationship of this illustrious saint's life and the ideals of this school. We have toiled patiently and lovingly over this Sabonite in the endeavor that readers may clearly see the diligence, the devoutness, and the love of Christ exemplified in the martyred Boniface active again in the faculty, in the students, and in every phase and function of our lives at St. Boniface High School. page 2 - ' w-Qifikw F 4 I 4 1 ' l a.

The first two energetic years were highlighted with our own initiation, parties, games and re- treat. We Won royal titles at carnivals and learned to dance well enough to go to the homecomings and proms. Our desks were filled with algebra and biology, home economics and English text books. Our one great sadness was in the prolonged illness and tragic death of a gifted and beloved classmate, Marie Fuchs. As upperclassmen commercial sub- , jects appeared on our programs, our l fellows debuted on A teams and our names were listed in the Thespian so- ciety and on the Bonifacian staff. We sat at J unior- Senior banquet tables and wore corsages to the prom we gave, and the one given for us. We've been eager for graduation, during these four years We rode on the school bus and stood in the lunch lines. We've exchanged class rings and Written notes. We've played in games and cheered. Our boys have served Mass and captained our sports. We've had A's on our report card and sometimes D plus, even D minus. We wrote for the school paper and published this annual. The commencement announce- ments and calling cards have been sent out. Memory books have been duly marked up and final finals Written. Our hearts go out in gratitude to the faculty that enabled us to leave here as strong young men and Women, strong in mind, strong in spirituality, and staunch of heart. So with tear-dimmed eyes We graduated, without goodbyes, for though We may seldom or never return in body, in reverie we will often be at i St. Boniface High School-We loved it here. page 10 I am setting out on a journey, hard and cicmge'rous. -St. Ephraim CHARLES ALEXANDER All around fellow-chauffeur, carnival king candidate, hockey star and casanova.

This year again they were all out to get their class candidates, Marjorie Danzl and Jerome Rausch, in for carnival king and queen. Their efforts were in Vain, for the sophomores took that honor away from them. During the football season a number of juniors showed their skill. In basketball, too, there were four junior stars Frank Svihel, Norman Meyer, Jerome Rausch and Charles Wenner. In the cheer-leading section the juniors were represented by Clara Eisenzimmer and Clare Ann Terhaar.

Leon and Don even got a berth on the A team. Guy Schaefer and Don Wirtzfeld were out- standing hockey players.

The spirit of the class came through with flying colors when their carnival king and queen candidates, Marjorie Athmann and Buddy Reichert Won the titles carnival night. The class put up a real fight in selling votes, with Adrian Schmit ranking for top honors among the sophomores. Under the capable hands of Sister Nivelle, the sophomores have been Well guided and have shown splendid progress. In her spare time Sister Nivelle was busy making costumes for the various plays and skits. Much dramatic talent was displayed.

They were initiated by a willing group of executioners, namely the seniors. During the course of the year some displayed their abilities by becoming active members in the dramatic and art clubs. Football also drew its numbereJerome Eisenzimmer, Arnold Simon,John Schleppenbach, James Grams, Stanley Schaefer, Harold Theisen, and Lewis Bausch.

To satisfy the critical attitude of teachers, students, and other schools, getting assignments in on time, being able to recognize your story after it has been revised are only a few. Through the able guidance of Sister Mary Gertrude, the Bonifacian appeared every month. New columns were cooked up such as DIMWIT, VOCATIONAL CORNER, POLL KATTS, which added great interest. The Bonifacian considered itself grown up enough to enroll in Press Associations of which The Catholic Press Association was one. The Quill and Scroll, an honorary journalism society, accepted six of the Bonifacian staff as members.

St. Boniface opened its schedule by dropping a heartbreaker 13-0 on the muddy Melrose grid- iron. The Dutchmen took advantage of a recovered Springer fumble in the first quarter, and smashed across the goal line to set the score at 6-0. A long Melrose aerial caught the Bonnie defense napping in the closing minutes of the game, giving the host, Melrose squad, its second T. D. and a 13-0 victory. The Springer gridmen hit a championship stride in smothering Howard Lake 45-0. Each member of the Springer backfield trio, composed of Reichert, Gresser and Kiess, scored at least once before the substitute backs entered the fray. A powerful Johnny grid machine dealt the Bonnies defeat by a scant 19-12 margin in a hard fought contest at St. J ohn's. Meyer completed a scoring pass to Svihel, to merit the Springers a 6-6 tie at half time. The J ohnnymen pushed over two quick touchdowns early in the second half. Kiess tossed a pass to Svihel, narrowing the gap to the final 19-12 reading. Three impressive victories, including a 40-6 Homecoming win over Foley, followed the St. J ohn's tilt. St. Cloud Tech B and Albany played the role of victims in Cold Springs other two routs falling before the Springers with respective scores of 45-7 and 45-0. Gresser, Kiess, and Reichert again provided the scoring punch in these one sided games. Coach Schaefer's eleven topped off a highly successful season by downing a favored Paynesville aggregation, 13-7 . Reichert scored on an off-guard play in the second quarter. The Bonnies missed their extra point and found the Bulldogs taking 7-6 lead at the half. The visiting Springers drove down the field during the last quarter, and pushed over another touchdown g this time with Kiess carrying the leather to give St. Boniface its fifth win. page 32 Norman Meyer Leon Kiess Edward Eisenzimmer Jerome Rauseh Arnold Olmseheid Frank Svihel Valhedral, Si. C'1oud vs. SI. Boniface, Fold Spring Baakeldall With Frank Svihel, ace playmaker, and all regional guard, missing from the lineup, the Springers dropped their first game to Foley, 24-23. Svihe1's floor generalship, along With the scoring punch of his nifty one handed shot, might easily have turned defeat into victory. He'll cause plenty trouble next year. Team play led Cold Spring to victory in its next four encounters. Included in this Win streak, was St. Boniface's first conference victory. Arnie Olmscheid rose to stellar heights, scoring 15 points as the Bonnies defeated St. Johns 44-29. What started out to be Olmscheid's best season, was cut short by an appendectomy shortly before the Cathedral game. Coach Schaefer re-vamped his lineup, filling in with Jerry Rausch, but only after losing 4 consecutive conference games did the revised squad again hit the Win column. Rausch has shown steady improvement throughout the season. He had his best night in the Regionals, When he tallied 17 points, as the Honnies downed the Johnnymen for the third time Big things are expected of Jerry next year.

Earl In our coach's own Words, Eddie Eisenzimmer may be credited with salvaging the St. Thomas game here at home. Eisenzimmer, a fast, aggressive guard, entered the game several times to keep Cold Spring in the running. The game Went into overtime with the final score favoring the Springers, 49-42. Captain Earl Kiess, all-regional guard, gathered an amazing 20 point total in St. Boniface's 43-35 decision over Melrose. It is diffi- cult to single out any one game in which Earl Was outstanding. He was a consistant ballplayer throughout the schedule. 216 points made him high-scorer for the team. Coach Schaefer's lads received compensation for an earlier 38-37 loss, by downing De LaSalle 33-32 on the home court. Don Olm- scheid and Leon Kiess Were heroes of the earlier 38-37 loss. Although both are only sophomores, it was because of them that the favored Islanders had to send the game into overtime before Winning by l point. Leon's defense Work and Don's shooting show great promise. On the victorious return meeting, Vernon Dockendorf gave a fine scoring exhibition. He entered the game in the second half and put in 7 quick counters, giving Cold Spring a 33-32 decision. He finished the season at a starting berth. A driving lay-up shot was his greatest Weapon. Norman Meyer, tall rebound man, kept the Bonnies in the running all through the season With his splendid backboard Work. He was especially effective against Cathedral in the Regional Tournanents. The St. Thomas game on the Tommie's flgpor found Meyer scoring 13, for his best e ort. Charles Wenner, aggressive reserve guard took scoring honors in Cold Spring's thorough 55-33 shellacking at the hands of Cretin, in the opening round of the State Tournament, Charlie should come through in grand style next year. 4 1 That which is loved in love offrienclship is loved simply and for ifs own sake. -St. Thomas A tean1cheerleaders,lefl to right: Ida Maile, Christine Bolling, Clare Ann Terhaar, Clara Eisenzimmer, Marlene Theilmann, Donna llietman Hockey was officially organized for the first time this year.
