With the dawn forth shalt thou go dauntless and unafraid. We were truly young and afraid when we first crowded the halls of St. Boniface High School, some sixty strong, in September 1944. However we did not stay that way long. After a few weeks of school we were put in our place with a real workout initiation. Our talents in athletics, cheering, glee club, and dramatics were soon recognized. Being the largest freshman class ever to Class officers: Secretary, Mary Heimg Vice-president, Jerome Rauschg enter St. Bgnifage We were given President, Thomas Reichert. Class adviser, Mr. Al Schaefer. the reputation of being the Udif- ferent class. We showed good judgment in choosing our leaders. With Charles Wenner as presidentg Norman Meyer, vice- presidentg J acquelyn Hansgen, secretaryg and Ervin Bernard, treasurer, our class made rapid strides. Our homeroom adviser was Sister Mary Bride. The regular round of algebra, English, junior business, home economics, and-shop kept us out of much mischief. The unforgetable year was our sophomore year. We showed how we could cooperate by crowning our candidates, Claire Ann Terhaar and Chares Wenner, carnival queen and king. We were led by Loretta Walz, presidentg Charles Wenner, vice presidentg Claire Ann Terhaar, secretary and Norman Meyer, treasurer. Sister Marie was class adviser. Many ambitions were achieved in our junior year-our class play, The High School Mystery, which was differentg our banquet, which was superbg our prom, which was a dream. Our class officers were Loretta Walz, president, Frank Svihel, secretary g and Charles Wenner, treasurer. Miss Marie Thome, our class adviser, was working right along with us to make our year a great success. And now as seniors we can look back over four years of work and fun and say with Burns, and many a canty day, we've had wi'ane anitherf' We were led by Thomas Reichert, presldentg Jerome Rausch, vice-president, Mary Heim, secretaryg Marjorie Danzl, treasurer, under the adviser- ship of Mr. A. H. Schaefer. Scholastically our class is led by Claire Ann Terhaar, Clara Eisen- zimmer, Jacquelyn Hansgen, Mary Heim, and Dolores Plantenburg. Soon we shall be leaving our Alma Mater but we shall never forget her. Our search for know- ledge and truth will take a different form. With Youth in our class play, Pageant of Youth by D. Lord, we pledge the following: By all the blessed saints who fought on earth The battles of the Lord, by her, Immaculate, Who bore the champion of our race, the Conqueror Of sin and deathg by Him who on the cross Vanquished the evil hosts in bloody battle, I swear to right the wrong, unflinchingly To wage the war with Evil and his hordes, To serve my fellows for the love of Christ, To love my country with unselfish heart, To honor womanhood for M ary's sake, To carry to the throne of God a heart Unstained by sin, a soul that never once Has looked with friendly eyes on traitor's sin. This do I swear before my fellow knights And in the sight of her, my Alma Mater. And by this cross I kiss. Page I2 A Q..

During our junior year we began to feel as though we were really in the fight We actually knew we werebeginning to grow up. Of course we thought we were grown up when we were in the eighth grade but now we knew. New responsibilities were ours for juniors are expected to put on a class play and to sponsor the most exclusive social event of the yearfthe formal dance or prom. To help us along we were fortunate in having Sister Mary Charles, who is just chuck full of ideas, for an adviser. With Martin Kammeier, president g Marjorie Athmann, vice-president, Adeline Maile, secretary, and Leon Kiess, treasurer, our class made great strides. Huckleberry Finn was the name of the comedy chosen for our successful class play. To help swell the funds needed for our social events, we sold homecoming souveniers. In the fund raising Carnival campaign we helped along with the cause by decorating and putting up booths in the Community room as an addition to the regular Carnival floor. Ours was to be the kiddies room, but it turned out to be the most popular one, where sonny goes, there go Mom and Pop. Our Carnival king and queen candidates-Ruth and Dick Wenner-the twins, made a good showing. In sports and dramatics we starred. Donald Olmscheid was given a berth on the All-State Catholic teamsthe only member from the school selected. In dramatics Martin Kammeier and Marjorie Athmann represented the school at a declamation festival in Little Falls. After living through the trials and heartaches of the junior year we did have opportunities to try our strength. Another such year should prepare us to cope with the problems in the world.

Pugc20 According to Webster, the Greek derivatives of sophomore are Sophos, wise, and moms, fool or foolish. Now does that make us the wise fools or the foolish wise? Whichever it may be, we admit there was much of the foolish and some of the wise, but we hope to im prove along the latter line as we grow older in years. During our daily round of geometry, biology, modern history, English, and German, we gather- ed some wisdom. U ebung macht den M eister was a famous German slogan which we put into practice. Under the guidance of Sister Michaela and the class officers, John Bell, president, Harold Theisen, vice-presidentg Roger Klein, treasurer, and Betty Danzl, secretary, we had a successful year. During the course of the year some displayed their abilities by becoming active members in the dramatic and art clubs. Among the football players we had John Bell, Jerome Eisenzimmer, Arnold Simon, James Grams, Stanley Schaefer, Harold Theisen and Lewis Rausch. Outstanding basketball players were Jerome Eisenzimmer, Arnold Simon, Lewis Rausch, Harold Theisen, John Bell, James Oster, Roger Klein, and James Grams. Lois Svihel showed her ability as cheerleader for the UA team. Betty Danzl, Joan Krebsbach, Pauline Senart, and Annabelle Dietman cheered for the B team. The social high light of the year was the fostering of a successful Christmas Party. 1. Sister Michaela and class officers planning the Christmas party. 2.

J., was presented as the senior class play, March 19, 22, and 23. For the first time in years all seniors took part. Youth f Charles Wennerj, Who represents all mankind, is born into this world, to the joy of the angels and the evil spirits. Both try to claim him for their own. Evil C Edmund Schwanklp, the devil in disguise, makes three attempts to league Youth with himself. The angels make their attempts through Alma Mater C Claire Anne Terhaarj, a character who takes the place of the Blessed Virgin C,Dolores Wennerj, on Earth. Youth emerges triumphant, amid a great deal of pageantry. Youth enters heaven as a conqueror.

To encourage students to seek the truth, to know the truth, and to fight for the truth, school publications such as the Bonifacian, our newspaper, and the Sabonite, our annual, are sponsored. The pen is mightier than the sword is only too true when it comes to defend eternal values. Skill in the use of the quill is not easily acquired, but we did learn to distinguish between the good and the mediocre. Every fourth and fifth week one could find the press room in an uproar and in a turmoil. Co-editors, Marilyn Wenner and Delphine Guggenberger, with their able assistant staff of Dolores Plantenberg and Jacquelyn Hansgen would be found busy editing, typing, and stenciling copy written by enthusiastic reporters including capable juniors and lower classmen. During those hours coming into the press room was dangerous, especially when killing one and cutting the head off another Qstoryj was ordinary. Those were busy happy days. Page 32 Between Bonifacian dates practically the same senior staff members put their heads together to see if they couldn't devise a new and original annual. Their class play, Pageant of Youth, suggest- ed an idea. Why not try to carry it out as much as possible in the year book? But what about the financial end? Here's where the ubig four helped out. While the boys were busy getting funds the girls were busy with pictures, scissors, paste jars, rulers and typewriters making up the dummy. Those dead lines always did come too soon. But the finished product always gave each the feeling of achievement and a feeling akin to that of Youth after having won the battle of life- And in his eyes the diamond of faith, And in his hand the lily lightly clappedg And in his heart the love of God and many And he hath turned his eager steps toward heaven.

Red Cross, under the direction of Sister Martin, again made strides this year. Ninety two Red Cross boxes were filled, forty stuffed toys made, six scrap books by freshmen and sophomores were compiled, and thirty table centers for the Easter decorations in the St. Cloud Veterans Hospital were produced. Roger Kammeier and Clara Buschen, the school repre- sentatives for 1948-49, Went to the Veterans Hospital early Easter morning to help decorate the two hundred tables.

The football season with twenty-eight husky gridders, got underway the first week of school under the able coaching of Mr. Francis Wiench who turned out as determined an eleven as ever to come out of St. Boniface. Five wins and two ties were good enough for an undefeated seasonethe first in the history of St. Boniface. This powerful eleven racked up 101 points to the opponents 26. Under the coaching of Mr. Wiench and the leadership of Captain Tom Reichert they were unconquerable. xi. 925 Q31 4' Wm.. ' U.mAe.svs.e6e..A Uz.ue..m fx 'Es ,.M...xxs..

Opening its '47 season against a heavier Johnny Prep team, the Bonnies battled their opponents to a scoreless tie. Both teams had scoring advantages but failed to convert them into touchdowns. The Johnnies got as far as the home 3 yard stripe but failed to put over the winning touchdown. The Bonnies were inside the Prep's 20 twice but fumbled on both occasions. St. Boniface 205Cathedral B 6, Sept. 26. The Bonnies traveled to St Cloud for their first out f o town game and came back with a comfortable 20-6 win. Both teams went scoreless in the first quarter and in the second canto Tom Reichert ripped the Cathedral line from the 9. Leading only 6-0 at half time, the Bonnies loosened up and Cathedral came back to score. ln the last canto Theisen and Schaefer pulled the boys out of the hole by scoring two quickies. mv D MK N47-Rah S 'Nhat q,,Ve C1 - Mkigfigx S M Rs.

St. Boniface 6-Tech B 0, Oct. 2. A week later the Bonnies again traveled to St. Cloud, this time to meet a tough Tech B team. Both teams battled up and down the field aside from the second quarter when Reichert ripped through the center of the line for the only counter. St. Boniface 6-Foley 6, Oct. 10. Against a surprising strong Foley team the Bonnies had to be satisfied with a 6-6 tie. In the second quarter Reichert broke through for 69 yards and a touchdown. Foley pushed its way to the Bonnies 1 yard line in the third canto and then scored on a reverse. St. Boniface 21ASt. Agnes 0, Oct. 13. On the night of Oct. 13 the rejuvenated Bonnies travel- led to St. Paul only to upset the Aggies homecoming, 21-0. With Norm Meyer playing his best game of the season, the Bonnies scored their first counter on an off center play from the 9 marker by Tom Reichert in the second quarter. An aerial from Meyer to Symalla was good for the point. The second one came in the third quarter. Meyer whipped a dunker to Symalla from the 3 to make it 13-0. Reichert ran the point. The final one came with time running out. Kiess charged over from the 1 yard line and Meyer ran the point to end the scoring. The Aggies threatened only once, this coming in the first period when they marched to the 1 foot line, but the strong Bonnie defense held. St. Boniface 28-Albany 0, Oct. 17. The Bonnies had little trouble in whipping a mediocre Albany team, 28-0. Coach Wiench emptied the bench in the second, third and fourth periods but the visitors still didn't have that extra punch. The first two scores came as a result of long marches that found Frank Svihel going off tackle for the first one and Al Symalla catching a pass for the second. Both extra points were made by rushing. Just before the half ended, the Bonnies intercepted an Albany aerial on the 20 yard stripe. Reichert then plunged to paydirt and also the extra point.. It was Svihel again in the third quarter who made the final counter. He place kicked the point. St. Boniface 20eMelrose 14, Oct. 24. The Bonnies came through with flying colors in their homecoming and final game when they defeated a strong Melrose eleven 20-14 on a rain soaked field. Tom Reichert started the fireworks on the first play when he dashed through right tackle and then 65 yards to paydirt. An aerial from Meyer to Svihel was good for the point. With only two seconds left before the half and the Bonnies on the visitors' 20, Meyer whipped an aerial to Svihel in the end zone. They scored again right after the half on another long run by Reichert, when he took the ball on a reverse from Meyer and skirted the Melrose left end for 45 yards. The Bonnies defense let Page 38 down long enough to let Melrose score two touchdown passes, both in the fourth period. A beautiful run by Frank Svihel, who galloped 91 yards, was called back for backfield in motion. HOMECOMING Captain Tom Reichert crowning Marjorie Danzl, our homecoming queen. Marjorie reigned over a glorious victory. The dramatic club dismantled a Melrose proxy before the eager eyes of all the students. The bonfire illuminated the entire valley. Before it stand the silhouettes of Edmund Schwankl, Norman Meyer, Tom Reichert, and Charles Wenner. Another proxy for Melrose. Here Victory left Melrose and came to Cold Spring. Sisters of the players took places on the stage and explained their brothers' positions on the team. Edmund Schwankl had no sister. Look what happened! ! I OPKCCUYYI IVIS Od?

Page 40 Cagers That ere the setting sun has couched in western sky He will return a victor. l St. Boniface opened its '4'7- 48 basketball season with victories over Foley and Crosier. The Sprlngers won easily in both contests in which Frank Svihel counted for 34 points. Frankie Went on to take the team high scoring honors with 250 points. He also made all regional guard for a second year. The next two games resulted in losses to very strong opponents, St. Pat's Eau Claire and St. John's Preps, but Cold Spring again was victorious with a 7 point margin over the regional champions, Duluth Cathedral. In these games Don Olmscheid took the spotlight. Donnie improved in every game and was an outstanding scoring threat and splendid defensive man. His speed and deception hit the top at the state tournament, Where he Was selected as an All State guard. Step aside for Donnie next year. l Jerry.Rausch, teaming with Frank Svihel, as an all regional forward tallied 15 points in a Springer victory over De LaSalle. Jerry was a splendid defensive man and did his best when the going was toughest. Jerry led the team with 62 points in seven tournament games. The Bonnies had a five game Win streak with victories over standouts as De LaSalle, St. Cloud Cathedral, and a 15 point margin over Cretin, the State Catholic champs. The Win streak Was broken in an overtime loss to the league leading St. Thomas Cadets. The team in action--Cathedral game, Jan. 13.

Kneeling: Ibonuld Olmsr-heid, Norm Meyer, Frank Svihel, Jerome Rausch, Leon Kiess. Norm Meyer, big boy and rebound stalwart, produced the finest season in his career. He was a three year regular and possesed the needed scoring punch at critical moments. Norm, a boy who's work went unnoticed despite his excellant rebounding in every game, produced his best efforts playing with a sprained ankle against the Johnny Preps for the consolation title with 14 counters. Leon Kiess is credited for many of the Springer's victories because of his standout performances on defense. He performed miracles by holding key men on opposing forces to very few points. Leon is also a dead eye on a long one hand push shot and can hit from anywhere on the floor. B TEAM Standing: Voarh Al Schaefer, Guy Schaefer, scribe, Marlin Wirtzfeld, student manager. Seated: Lewis Rausch, John Hell, Melvin Plantenherg, Walter Reichert, Marvin Faber, Arnold Simon, Melvin Simon, Richard Terharr. Page 42 Charles Wenner, an aggressive forward, provided the spark in a 4 point triumph over Mankato, Layola, in a preliminary to the state meet. Charlie was a much needed sixth man and provided for that important extra fight at critical moments. Al Symalla and Sylvester Goebel, reliable reserves, provided the team with some extra-power. Both combined their efforts in a splendid game against the Crosier Preps. Jerome Eisenzimmer, a very promising sophomore center, hit his peak with 10 tallies against East Grand Forks in tourney play. Harold Archie Theisen, another sophomore standout, produced some splendid play in games with Crosier and East Grand Forks. Keep your eyes open for these fellows next year. During the season the Bonnies outscored their opponents by 842 points to 744, winning 13 games and losing 6. They battled their way to a tie with De LaSalle for third place in the Catholic conference by virtue of two wins over them and St. Agnes and one triumph over each of their other conference foes with the exception of the St. Thomas Cadets. Cold Spring held margins of 3, 2, and 1 points in games over De LaSalle, the latter occurring in the State Tourney meet. St. Thomas, the only team to defeat the Springers twice, did so in an overtime in the return match on the Springer floor. The Springers tied the game in the final second but failed to score in the extra stanzas. CARNIVAL'-For the Benefit of Athletics. The Novelty booth is being decorated in picture 1.

The Springers played their best ball game to down Cretin's champs by scoring 21 points in the final period. St. Pat's, a team that went un- defeated in 26 games, had to come from behind in the final minutes to top Cold Spring 50-42. Using a new system the Springers had a captain selected before each game. At the close of the season Frank Svihel was chosen honorary captain by the team for his splendid performances. The St. Boniface team has a coach to be proud of in Coach Al Schaefer. It was through his hard work and under his direction that the team met success.

Her attendants were Margie Heim, Margie Athmann, Carol Walz, and Jean Hansgen. 23 Hasty preparations are being made for the homecoming game-seniors are going to raise money for the annual. They are busy making carameled apples and popping corn. It has never failed, it's raining! Have you ever known it to be different? Dramatic Club presented several amusing skits. Captain Tom Reichert crowned Margie Danzl Homecoming Queen. Down in the valley a beautiful bonfire was blazing. 24 Rain, rain go away-but it didn't make any difference, the parade must go on. Each class had a float Cso calledl and did they float in the rain. We won unbeaten Melrose 20-14. This is the first year since our school's existance that we have been undefeated. The dance was opened with Captain Reichert dancing with Queen Margie Danzl. The auditorium was even decorated and simply every- one was there. We danced to the music of the Musicmakers. 25 Why was everyone so tired today? 27 The juniors picked out their class rings, and the seniors chose their announcements. 30 Everyone is busy filling Red Cross boxes.
