Each year the Oklahoma Honor Society awards are presented to the students who, scho- lastically, are in the top ten percent of the stu- dent body. Averages are compiled on a basis of the second semester of one year and the first semester of the year immediately following. Ac- cording to a recent ruling new students' grades of the last semester in their former school are also honored, so that everyone is eligible to try for the' award. This year the seniors succeeded in capturing first place in the Honor Society by placing seven members in its ranks. The Sopho- mores followed with four members, and the Juniors traded with three. The awards, in the farm of certificates, are presented at the Senior Commencement by Rev. Joseph Murphy, moder- ator of the society. ff' A jails X l GEF A THE GREGORIA Seated: Joe Snced, columnist, Gene Mathews, business manager, Frank Fox, editor: jake Engel, sports editorg Ed Haley, sports writerg John Scripsick, reporter.

The Cowl was planned and published in the hope that it would surpass the achievements of former annuals. Student support and enthusiastic backing from patrons made it imperative that the year book be up to the expectations of its backers. Accordingly, the Cowl staff has tried to accurately portray all phases of the school year and also to in- still the book with the spirit that has enabled St. Gregorys to be a builder of men . If the Cowl has succeeded in this purpose, the staff members want nothing more. 4 ,J il J ei - R2 1175?

The St. John Berchman Servers' Society, one of the oldest organizations on the campus, enocurages the art of correct senfing at liturgical functions. Officers of the society instruct the members in the prayers and cere- monies of the Mass. Any Catholic young man is eligible to sign the servers' list. Response this year was remarkablep over half the student body joined the society. The members of the group have been faithful throughout the year in being prompt and prepared for seru- ing at the chapel functions. Father Suellentrop is moderator of the society. P YOUTH RALLY Said the Southwest Courier, A'The most applause was reserved for St, Gregory's float. The Float depicting Christian recreation was designed and constructed by the float committee, Jim Crotts, Don Roethler, and joe Sneed with the aid of Rev. Eugene Marshall, O.S.U., and Gerald Brousseau. St. Gregory's was well represented at the 4th annual Catholic Youth Rally held May 4th in Oklahoma City. Throughout the day, spectators watched the Knights in football uniforms at the Living Mass , marching in the parade, playing in the massed band and posing on the float. The one-hundred and thirty piece massed band. was studded with St. Gregory's band members. Alexander Stuart. drum major. ably led the band in parade. stall st! SEQ D .

Brilliantly attired in its new uniforms, the band, under the direction of Father Vincent de Paul Traynor, made several very successful public ap- pearances. The first of these appear- ances as a marching band was at the homecoming football game. In the field of concert playing, the band likewise held a creditable position. After receiv- ing a rating of Superior in the District Elimination Contest, the band was elig- ible to enter the State Finals, where it was rated as Very Good. There are 29 members in the advanced band. First Row: '1' Jorski, F. Burns, E. Nicklas, B. Green. Second Row: L. Welter, J. Degen- hardt. Third Row: M. Brand, K. Genzer, J. Michalicka, A. Stuart. Fourth Row: J. Pierce, I Scripsick. Fifth Row: j. Lucas, H. Kokojan, j. Mohr. Father Vincent has had remarkable success this year in directing his many fields of interest. As band director, he has expertly trained the organization in the fields of marching and concert play- ing. A superior classification for the Glee Club at the State Contest testifies to the ability of their instrucor. Six successful plays, directed by Father Vin- cent, in one school term is definitely a mark of merit. Aside from these numer- ous group activities, Father Vincent has a large number of private piano pupils.

In its regular meetings, the club plans and sponsors musical and dramatic programs. Foremost of these presentations is the annual Mother's Day Program. The Gregorian Mother of 1948-49 was Mrs. john Maloney of Oklahoma City, while her successor for the 1949-50 term is Mrs. C. L. Rollins of Oklahoma City. This year the club presented the band with a new bass horn.

DRAMATIC A scene from the Christmas play, Why the Chimes Rang Stage manager, Fr. Damieng Assistants: Gerald B rousseau and Tim Murphy. This season the Gregory players enjoyed a very sucressful season on the stage of the new gymatorium. The six plays presented through the year covered all phases of the drama and were well portrayed. Because of the new fully equipped stage, the background effects were truly outstanding. These efferts were designed and exeruted by Fr. Damien, stage manager, and his assistants Gerald Brousseau and Tim Mur- phy. Father Vincent is director of dramatics. Presentations of the dramatic society during 1949 season were: The Other Side , Why the Chimes Rang', and Eleven Against the Sea , melodramasg Knight Life , Dress Reversal , and Papa Behaoe , comedies, William Kavanaugh, valedictorian of the graduating class of 1948-49, delivered the address of farewell. The class, 36 members, was the largest to graduate from St. Gre- gory's in the history of the school. GRAD T10 E ERCISES Rev.

Coach Pictured above are Robert Bolay and Vincent Weninger, best defensive and best offensive players, respectively on the 1949 football squad. Each was presented with a beautiful trophy in appreciation of their perform- ances during the season. Don Roethler, Assistant coach The gridiron Knights had a very creditable season in 1949, winning three out of four Conference garnes. With many return- ing lettermen on hand last fall, Father John scheduled several tough non-Conference tilts, too. Cushing, Chandler and North- east of Oklahoma City furnished plenty of competition. An indication of things to come was the 98-7 trouncing of Tecumseh- B by the St. Gregoryis- B -squad. Many of the scrnbs'3 will be in the starting line-up next season.

HOLY FAMILY 44-0 The Crusaders proved to be a push- over without their brilliant back, Obrien. Strange is the history of high school football, the scoring was dominated by linemeng right end johnson snagged a pass from Markus for one tally, while Willett, left end, romped over six times. Although Holy Family's longest drive of the day was 55 yards, the Knights line kept the visitors from scoring. Markus converted twice. MARQUETTE 0-26 Harrassed by penalties and surprising lack of offensive drive, the Knights fell before the Meteors in a night game at Tulsa. Miller and Allen sparked the Tulsans to the win. This one loss cost the Knights the state championship, while Marquette successfully took all comers to go undefeated and claim the trophy. ST. l0SEPH'S, Muskogee 69-20 Evidently the Knights took a hint from the sweltering 90 degree tempera- ture as they turned on the heat to steam past the hapless Cadets. St. Gregory's protegees iumped to an early lead and kept the advantage all the way. Between them, Fox, Brand, Koelsch, Willett, Genzer, Markus and Flanigan marched to eleven touchdowns with more than adequate support from their teammates. CASCIA HALL 13-7 The Commandos, scoring on Scullen's run the first Cascia play of the game, could not hold their lead as the Knights punched hack for two touchdowns be- fore an enthused homecoming crowd of I2oo. Markus went over from the five, after Willett had sallied 50 yards to the first St. Gregory's score. With the pre- cision that gave him his nickname, Toe Markus dropkicked the conversion.

Qs BEST HOME GAMES St. joseph, Oklahoma City, gave St. Gregory's a nip and tuck battle until the Knights offensive began to click in the third quarter. The Shawnee-men rolling up a 31-20 score, walked away with the fourth conference win of the season. St. Josephs Bluebirds of Enid, were easily down- ed as the Knights rolled up a 25 point margin to win, 38-II. The home team's zone defense worked su- perbly against the visiting Enid men. VVhat would have been the greatest cage upset of the season died in the closing minutes of a surpris- ingly close tilt with Classen. The Comet's superior marksmanship stole the game from the Knights, 25-28. The St. Mary's, Ponca City, game was the closest confer- ence clash on the home court in years. Coffman put the Irishers eight points ahead by the third quarter, but the un- dermanned Knights, sparked by Compton, managed to pull the contest out of the losing bracket in the last fifteen sec- onds, 36-35. Holy Trinity of Okarche was doomed to defeat in this, the last game of the season, as the power-packed Knights displayed their best ball-hand- ling and breezed to a 47-20 victory. Every player on the home team roster contributed to the ninth conference win, assuring second place in the Wfestern division. CHAN ' BA EBALL -. uw. . State Champions for 1949. Kneeling.
