As a sincere token of affection and gratitude which have been engendered in our hearts, we, the senior class of 1947, lovingly dedicate this volume of the Co-Ed-Word to Sister Rose Concepta, OP. The book itself is meant to keep in the minds and before the eyes of all, the noble Work Sister has accomplished in guiding the development of our school over incredible obstacles, in setting the high scholastic pace which fills our hearts with pride. The six years of sacrifice and prayer that she has willingly and proudly given have been years of struggle to overcome prejudicey a long pull uphill, bringing scores out of the shadows of doubt and darkness into bright reflection of Christian education and living. To you, Sister Rose Concepta, your seniors humbly dedicate this little volume. Page Z UW Afma Wafer di.

IOHN F. ROTUNDA, a Dundee High transfer, entered whole-heartedly into the athletic program at St. Edwards. He was voted the most valuable foot- ball player on the i944-45 squad. Be- fore finishing his junior year, Uncle Sam called Iohn to the army. With the ninth air corps division, lohn saw action in Italy and Germany. The seniors of 1947 are happy to have Iohn back at St. Edwards and a member of their graduating class.

Among the notables present were the town's leading officials and many of the clergymen from the surrounding dioceses. The best known priest was the recently ordained Rev. MICHAEL MOONEY and his pastor, Msgr. William F. Boland. Sitting in front of me, I saw IOHN E. ROTUNDO, honorable Mayor of the thriving metropolis of Car- pentersville. Sitting next to him was KENNETH WEHRLE, Princi- pal of Elgin High School. lust entering the gym were Mr. and Mrs. RICHARD PAUL. fYou remember MARY CROTTY?l Mr. PAUL now owns all super markets in Elgin. With them was Mr. Paul's Assistant Manager, HOWARD REINERT. The house lights were presently dimmed. The first attraction of the evening was the last quarter of the game between the Chicago Bears and Elgin Eagles. In the starting line-up ap- peared TOM BONGARD, half back, and lOl-IN REINERT, center. Along the side line Coach SPRINKER was found giving some last minute instructions to his men. The ball was snapped to TOM. He went over for a touchdown and a decided victory for the Elgin Eagles. The screen dimmed and was focused on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House where Miss PHYLLIS KROEGER is making her debut in Carmen . In the band pit RICHARD KIRMSE skillfully led the Metropolitan orchestra through the difficult score. The scene again changed and we were at a fashionable night spot in down town Elgin, where we beheld in the lime light, IACOB DOWNS, the toast of night club society. A dancer crossed in front of the camera and our vision was momentarily blotted out by the face of our classmate, KLEA SEYLLER. The light of the club dimmed and out from the wings came that favorite danc- ing team, Carlotta and Romero, the former MARY CATHERINE SCHNELL and DONALD GILLIS, doing a superb rendition of the tango. As the camera took us through the crowds of night life we saw at one table a happy foursome of CAROL KAMP and HUGH MARSH with their better halves. At an adjoining table we found several R.N's, MARY ELLEN BRUCKER, GLADYS BURNELL, PAT HAVERKAMPP and HELEN ZELSDORF, celebrating their night off. Pgl8 The screen dimmed: the lights went on for a short intermis- sion and we looked around and found familiar faces we had not seen for these many years. Sitting in the front row we saw those two famous interior decorators from New York, MARY WESTER- MAN and MARY SUE PEABODY. They seemed to be absorbed in conversation with IOANNE FUNK and PAT DOUGHERTY, the administrators of the new progressive school plan in Illinois. ln another corner of the gym we saw members of the St. Edward's faculty, Sr. Rose Regina, CMARGARET REINERTD commercial in- structor, Sr. Marie Clement, language instructor CMARY ANN COSTELLOD conversing with PHYLLIS FIELD, the girl's physical education instructor. Mr. ROBERT SKIBBE, Coach at St. Edward's was with the athletic director, Father RANDAL BENSON. The house lights dimmed againy the audience resumed their places and the screen took us to Madison Square Garden in the final rounds of the fight between IOHN GARRELTS and the avenger and defender of championship title, that hard punching, light footed DONALD LATUS. The referee, WALTER BOYER, had a hard time keeping out of the way of those jabbing lefts. The crowd went wild as the champion went down. From the side lines we heard Latus' manager, ROBERT SCHREIBER letting out agonizing yells as he tried to get Latus on his feet. lt was too late. At the count of lU, Latus was still on his back and into the ring went that famous fight promoter, owner of the Elgin Water Softener, THOMAS L. RUEMELIN, who awarded the Champion- ship trophy to Iohn Crarrelts, the winner. News and Television then took the audience to Detroit, Michi- gan, where the National Bowling Leagues were being held. On alley three was Champion of the Women's International Bowling Association, MARY ROSE SAUNDERS, finishing up her line with a perfect 300 to take the national title again. AUDREY IACOBS star reporter for the Elgin Courier News, interviewed Mary Rose. The screen dimmed for the final time and as the audience dirfted toward the doors, we saw MARY LOU VOLK, the brilliant author just back from Cuba where she has completed her new book, a sequel to Peroxide and What lt Did For Me . As the crowd left the school, they headed for Leo's , a fashionable gathering place, owned by CATHLEEN LEONARD and IANICE LEONE. This truly was a memorable evening in the annals of St. Edward High School. For the first time in ten years, this meeting brought together the class of St. Edward High School that made this television installation possible. Although all of the alumni could not have been present at the gymnasium, we picked them up on the television set. But we know that wherever they were last night, their hearts were here at St. Edward's gym while this ceremony was taking place.

They were defeated by a score of 32-12. During this game the Saints lost their valuable end, Mike Mooney, with leg injuries. An exciting skirmish took place when the green wave traveled to St. Bede's at LaSalle-Peru where they gained much playing experience against this powerful team. The next im- portant encounter was with Aguin of Freeport on Maroon Field in which the home team won their first battle of the season by a score of 12-7. With this victory spurring them on, the Green and Gold challenged the hard fighting St. Thomas squad at Rockford. There they dropped a score of 20-O in favor of the Purple and White. During this heated game St. Ed's captain, Thomas Ruemelin, received his first set back when he was mo- mentarily rendered unconscious. The Varsity, undefeated in spirit, returned to their home field to meet Elmhurst the following week and finished up a hair raising game with a score of 6-6. The Saints romped to a decisive victory when they met St. Mary's of Woodstock, defeating the lrish and clinching the game by a wide margin of 24-6. During this time the sguad also tangled unsuccessfully with St. Procopius and St. Mary's of Des Plaines. To tie up the season, St. Edward met Belvidere for a home- coming game in which they were outclassed and outplayed to the score of 47-O. Page 38 This rounded out the football season tor 1947. As our coach Mr. True would say, This is the type ot year in which a coach develops the character ot a team. We know, by watching this year's team ao out to meet the touah schedule it had this past season, that they have the spirit and ability to fight even though they are down. We know that in future years, character and winning teams will be fully developed, and St. Edwards will possess a football team to be admired and feared.

Faq 40 3,.,Mr3.,,,l 510014177 Our Frosh-Soph, in it's own light this year, and with a larger schedule than in any previous year, made a name for itself, of which we are sure the boys are proud, as we are, and will do even better in their following years of Frosh-Soph and varsity ball. The start of the season was marked by a hard-fought loss to the powerful West Chicago eleven who had played two games previous to this encounter. On September 19, the Sophs played Elgin High and gained their first win by a 7-O count. The Saints then lost two to Mooseheart, 13-O and 6-O, allowing a tie with Bel- videre between these games. They showed that they could slow the flashy attack of Mooseheart and, by reeling off many long gains, they were spurred on to win the last three games of the season. They downed Abbott twice, 7-O and 13-O, then defeated a once-tied, hard-fighting team from Belvidere at Maroon field in the last game of the year, 13-12. In this way the Sophs ended the 1946 season.

The first shot shows a back from Immaculate Conception returning an end run to the line of scrim- mage. He has been forced back and is nearing his own 40, as Tom Bongard and Don Forrester close in on him. St. Edwards fine holds like a stone wail as Iirn Kiinger tries an extra point. This shows real block- ing in the line, and on the part of the backs who are dropping the ends. -n-.- i 1 Page 42 mmf vafmrr new Receiving congratulations from his coach, guest speaker, and athletic director, lohn Chapin smiles with well-deserved satisfaction over his hard-won trophy. One of the high-lights of an evening of memor- ies and inspiration was the presentation of the Most Valuable Player of l946 award to lohn Chapin, selected by and from his teammates for his expend- able performances on the gridiron. Since lohn is still a Iunior, he is expected to be the spearhead of the Saints' attack next year. He will be ably sup- ported by his classmates and the up-and-coming sophomores, who will be molded into a winning combination by those experienced hands of Greg True.

This was a loss by the low margin of 9 points. It won the next game from Aquin of Freeport. Then came a loss to the Marengo Giants. When the time came for the tournament at Des Plaines, the Saints were unsuccessful in the first game of the seriesg being defeated by the powerful Immaculate Concep- tion of Elmhurst quintet. Then came the most exciting game of the year, if not the most favorable, when the Saints defeated Des Plaines, who had just won the N.E.C.C. tournament in their own gym two days before, by the score of 47-46. This was followed by a string of four wins. The Saints then journeyed to the Mooseheart Invitational Tournament where they were defeated in their first game by the second-rated Geneva five. ln the next game, Hampshire made an overwhelming SOCKD of their shots to thoroughly defeat the Saints on the Hampshire home floor, 72-25, the most any team scored against the Saints throughout the season. This was fol- lowed by an upset by the once-beaten Saint Mary's of Des Plaines. There was a midseason slump which was stretched to 8 in a row before we defeated St. Mary's of Woodstock five, to clinch the conference championship, with a 5-win, 3-loss record. Hebron then took a game from the brow-beaten Saints in a pre- lude to the district tournament. Once again on the home floor, the Saints almost defeated the strong Mooseheart five, but were beaten by a heartbreaking margin of 51-55. A repeat win from the Aguin team, on their home floor this time, gave the Saints their last scheduled-game win of the year, until district tourna- ment time. Members of the team throughout the season were: Mike Mooney thigh scorer with 248 pointsl, lack Sprinker, Rocky Chapin, Ranny Lassau, Ki1roy Alters, Doc Gillis, Bernie Mayotte, Speed Wehrle, Ted Schnell, and Lloyd Koonce, lim Paul played on the varsity team from the Mooseheart game on. He accumulated a total of 140 points in the short time that he played. Besides the first six and lim Paul, members of the Dis- trict tournament squad were: Don Forrester, Chap Wells, and Don Berna.

They expected to take Immaculate Conception by the same method, but when they met the Elmhurst Iunior Varsity squad, they were defeated in a hot overtime 3l-30. With this stinging memory they took the next 8 games straight, meanwhile definitely crushing St. lVlary's of Woodstock, 77-3, allowing only 3 free throws for the opposition. While helping the team set a new 77 point record, lim Paul also set an individual record of 43 points. Other records established were: the new 3 point low, no field goals for one team, and defeat by 74 points. Things sped along wonderfully through those eight, until, due to the playing of lim Paul on the varsity instead of frosh-soph, the team lost their second in 15 starts to a power-plus team at Mooseheart in one of the most thrilling and highly con- tested struggles of the season. They again met Woodstock in the final conference game of the season and undisputedly captured the Lightweight Cor Iunior Varsityl North East Catholic Confer- ence trophy by a score of 76-18. They outscored opponents in conference play 353-163, never allowing a team over 31 points, suffering only one defeat, and keeping four teams below 20 points. A trip to Hebron gave them a 49-27 victory over the green giants' little brothers, and when they repeated a loss to Moose- heart on the home floor by the same score as before, it was some- thing of a phenomenal nature. They romped over Aquin and Marengo to put the win total at 17, where it stopped. ln the last game they saw a little too much of a scrapping team from Hampshire and lost a thriller by a margin 32-26. Thus the season ended leaving a record which speaks well for the game five who put the name of St. Edward's High in the annals of frosh- soph basketball.

They jump- ed to a 17-2 first quar- ter lead over the awed Richmond Raiders. Richmond, however, made a aame come-back and when the horn for the half blew, St. Ed's left the floor with only an eiqht point lead. St. Edward came out on the floor full of pep and finally raised the score slowly but surely. ln the semi-final game, St. Edwards met and de- feated Capron 48-33. The game was close but St. Ed- ward outclassed Capron all the way, even though they were not up to par. ln the championship game, at the tournament, St. Ed's started out with plenty ot power as they led Hebron 6-3, but soon Hebron not only caught up with but passed St. Edward and led at the guarter, ll-6. From then on, it was all Chuck Mau, the Hebron giant who made 28 points as the St. Ed team was closely guarding Gordy Tibbetts, the other Hebron hot shot. lohn Chapin led the Saints all the way, with twelve points as they were defeated 51-33. lim Paul placed fourth in tournament scoring with thirty-two points.
