I IQ, :iq Wk...-f Father we GQSQQ D It is with joy that we, the class of 1951, dedicate this annual to our devoted Assistant Pastor, Father Rau. Since his arrival in Charleston in 1946, Father Rau's solicitous efforts in Church and civic affairs have been an inspiration to the entire Parish family. On June 30, 1950, Father was appointed Admin- istrator of the newly established parish at East Prairie, probably the first parish to be dedicated to the virgin martyr, Saint lkhry Gor- retti, and, on August 27, in a store building, he celebrated the first Holy Mass there. Father's new activities have not lessened his inter- est in us. F T C H U E 9 L N 5 T Fcntlxe 1' S olmmtffl Reverend Charles P. Schmitt Reverend Raymend W. Rau Sister M. Irene, C.PP.S. Sister M.

Coach Alphonse O'Rourke Dear Students, We were happy to hear' the announcement that a new parish was to be established by Father Rau at East Prairie. With equal joy we re- ceived the information that the new parish would be named for St. Mary Goretti, the Virgin lhriqrr. In St. Mary Goretti children and youth the world over, but par- ticularly in the New and Mother Parishes, have an extraordinary pa- troness and model. She is the modern Martyr of Purity, the one who has brought back into our century the moral integrity and purity, the piety and love of God, the obedience to authority, the patience and fortitude in suffering which adorned the lives of the youthful mrtyrs of ancient Rome -- Agnes, Agatha, Cecilia, Pancratius, and Tarcisius. St. lhry Goretti did not have the advantages of modern educa- tion. Her parents were extremly poor. Living in a poverty-strick- en area of Italy the family could scarcely provide the 'bare neces- sities of life. There was no opportunity for schooling. Neverthe- less, this child grew in wisdom and grace before God and nan. Un- der the guidance of holy parents she daily drank deep of the knowl- edge of religion. From day to day she grew in the lcncwrledge of God, of Our Lord Jesus, of wry, Virgin Mother of God, of Holy Mother Church. She learned and loved the highest wisdom, the art of living as alchild of God. So well did she learn that the lack of fornnl schooling was no hindrance to her receiving her First Holy Communion with other children of her age. From the human point of view she had no advantages. Yet she achieved the greatest possible success. She became a Saint. Living today dennnds heroism. Our American youth is proving itself equal to the task of the field of battle, on the high seas, in the air. But youth must prove its metal also in the battle for Christian Morality. The Mystery of Iniquity' is using every means to undermine the chastity of Youth. In this battle Catholic Youth has a new leader in St. lhry Goretti who feared not the murderous lmife of her lustful admirer but courageously defended her virgini- ty, preferring death rather than the loss' of the beautiful jewel of purity. ' my all our students lift up their minds and hearts to study and emulate the life of lhry Goretti. Her life is a thrilling sto- ry. It is a story which God Himself has fashioned to thrill and to challenge the Youth of today. ' Jai. 95 EXCELSIOR! In these days of higher prices, higher taxes, higher explosives, the word Nhigher' seems to take on an unpleasant connotation because it is so often used in connection with things that cost us something in money, effort, or even in lives. And yet the word has always de- manded its toll because it is naturally harder to go up than down. But the degree of unpleasantness in paying the cost depends largely on the worth, or our appreciation of the worth, of that higher some- thing for which we are striving. You, the Graduates of St. Henry's High School, have completed a phase of your higher education, and for you too this has meant a cost, both to your parents and to yourselves, in sacrifice and ef- fort. Both you and they deserve congratulations on the day of Grad- uation for your attainment of a higher place in the realms of knowl- edge. You new know more about the laws of physics, formulas of chemistry, equations of mathematics, than you did four years ago. But your knowledge of these and other allied subjects alone has not given you a higher education in the true sense of the word. Along with them you were taught the knowledge of laws and given ideals far beyond the natural. You were given the opportunity to learn with more mature minds to know, love, and serve God in this life, in or- der to enjoy eternal happiness in the next. And this part of your education, truly the higher part, you will cherish more and more as you venture forth into a world that is dividing itself more definite- ly than ever before into two groups between which there can be cer- tainly no compromise, the Godly and the Godless. You have no reason to fear the future provided you guard and nurture your priceless her- itage of Faith. To do this you must never compromise with the Godless, lose hope with the hopeless, nor surrender with the cowardly. Your goal is up- ward, not downward. Therefore, whatever your aspirations or ambitions in life may be, your motto should always be: Excelsior! Higher in in- tention, higher in motive, higher in unselfishness, than the Godless who have no God to draw them upward, the hopeless whose trust lies shattered among the broken promises of meng the cowardly, unwilling to pay the price of courage. Your happiness in life will depend en- tirely upon the direction in which you seek your goal, up or down, an idea rather well expressed by a modern poet: Two men looked through their prison bars The one saw mud, the other stars. -nsQ i'ZY Seacofz 1957 Charles Doolittle Little and literary Albert Rolwing A whiz of a pitcher sr!

Kenneth was electrocuted last July. He died while doing something in which he seemed always to be engaged -- helping someone else. He was close to all of us both in the class room and in our other activities. Kenneth was ever an enthusiastic contender in all our sports as well as the other projects which fell to our lot. Though we are deprived of his physi- cal presence, Kenneth will be with us in memory for many and many a yearg for who could forget his friendly smile and his helping hand. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Robert Coon '51 H444 Wakita NWJCZD Clang, clang, went the bell and a new crop of little tots were settled in their places. The first day of school, naturally, is the longest for the pri- mary student. It is no wonder that Bob Coon insisted upon playing with Betsy McGuirk's pencil box. All the graduates of the class of '51, with the excep- tion of Frank Schaffer and Vernon Smithers, were present. Also in the class were Bill Moore, Eugene Hayden, Jerry Brumley, and Eugene Stallings. Frank Scheffer joined us in the first grade and Vernon Smithers in the fourth grade. .Due to crowded conditions, Vernon was told to sit with a girl, Jo Ann Bryant. Afterwards, when arrangements were made to seat him'with a boy Vernon, quite taken up by his first acquaintance, was loath to move. Charles Doolittle left us in the early years for St. Louis but returned in time to be with us in eighth grade. Kenneth Houston entered our class shortly before Charles ' return. Our eighth grade year passed rapidly and graduation day brought an end to our grade school days. That day we looked on with joy as Charles Doolittle re- ceived the American Legion Award for having obtained the best grades in both scholarship and conduct. The next September thirteen green little freshmen enrolled in St. Henry High, namely, Robert Coon, Charles Doolittle, Kenneth Houston, Eugene Leible, Harold Leible, Albert Rolwing, Frank Schaffer, Vernon Smithers, Mary Kathryn Cassel, Helen Marie Cross, Helen Lober, Betsy Alice McGuirk and Frances Schef- fer. Together we battled through Algebra, Science, Citizenship and English. Ten blustery sophomores returned the next September -- Eugene, Harold and Helen Marie had withdrawn -- to find that all of the Faculty except Sister Eu- docia had been changed. Shortly after Christmas that year we bid Farewell to Father Wieberg and nwelcomen to Father Schmitt. It was during this year al- so that school notes entitled nSt. Henry Highlightsn were first published each week in the Enterprise Courier. Nine of us sedately returned as Juniors, upper classmen. Our first ac- tivity was to order our class rings. How excited we were when the rings fin- ally camel Betsy and a Senior were appointed to write the nHighlightsn. Plans for the Junior - Senior Banquet and the Prom gradually developed. we were the first class to invite Alum i and Alumnae to the Prom. Kenneth Houston was accidently electrocuted during the summer, so only eight serious seniors entered St. Henry High in September, 1950. Early in the year Charles Doolittle and Bert Rolwing were elected President and Vice-Presi- dent respectively. Both also edited the nHighlightsn. Now, that our school days are over, we, the Class of '51, take this op- portunity to express our thanks to Father Schmitt, Father Rau, Father Wieberg and the Sisters of the Most Precious Blood for having reached our goal. May God bless them each and all! N wwe rt l RN 'Q' 3:2 20 .well . W' L f gi fit! a!- X Mi.rnx ' v- fx, K '?a M ' if is t'7 A ...N get X5 ,-,. fdgseril l k - ,. . Q.

THE YEAR --- 1976 The Right Reverend Charles Doolittle, Archbishop of St. Louis, is on his way to the new Cardinal ball park, the Rolcoon Park, to see the home team play their first World Series game. Keep your eyes on Archbishop Doolittle. He is an important light in Catholic life. Doctor Vernon Smithers, dean of men at Harvard University was in the box when Archbishop Doolittle arrived. Doctor Smithers has taught courses in the new simplified Smithers Shorthand in all the leading universities of the world during the past few years, and has done outstanding guidance work in each uni- versity. Harvard is indeed fortunate to have obtained the services of so great a man as Doctor Smithers. The game is about to start. Miss Nhry Kathryn Cassel, who has startled the world with her beautiful soprano voice, is going to sing the National An- them. Miss Cassel is accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Alice McGuirk, the concert pianist all Europe, Asia, Africa, and both Americas are speaking of so highly. Miss McGuirk began her career at Webster College in St. Louis. Her next con- cert tour will take her through a thickly populated region -- the South Pole. As the last strains of the song were dying away, a well-dressed little lady, the former Frances Scheffer, slipped into the Archbishop's box. She ex- plained that with four sets of twin boys and one set of triplet girls she is seldom able to be on time for anything, even though this is her husband's aft- ernoon off, and he is taking care of the children. She has recently been cho- sen nThe Ideal Mother of the Yearn by the N.C.W.C. because she conscientiously practices what she strongly advocated in the books she published before her marriage -- the mother belongs in the home and both parents, not some hired babyhsitter, are the trainers of the children. One glance at the line-up! The shortstop is Ace Coon, whose batting aver- age of .450 leads both leagues. Ace Coon was baptized Robert Horace. His nickname was acquired in high school when his friends called him Horace. The name was later shortened to Ace . Ace is especially noted for his home runs. He hits two positively every game played during the week and three in Sunday games. He has broken all records and his name will go down in baseball histo- ry. The pitcher is Bert Rolwing, thirty-nine game winner. After these two men the new park nRolcoonu has been named. Eight perfect innings passed and the score was 2 to 0 in favor of the Car- dinals. Bert was just three cuts away from fame, the first pitcher to pitch a perfect game in a World Series. The first two batters went down in rapid order. The third has three balls and two strikes. Yer out I boomed the Umpire as the next ball shot over the plate into the catcher's mitt. The first to congratulate Bert was Mayor Frank Schaffer of Charleston. Mayor Scheffer had been delayed by the Mayor of St. Louis and the Mayor of New York, both of whom wanted first-hand information on the success the Mayor of Charleston had in enforcing the exact observance of the Pope's Eneyclicals in the business and politi al life of Southeast Missouri. After the game, the members of the Class of 1951 met at the Chase Hotel for a re-union banquet during which Miss Mary Kathryn Cassel sang a loving tribute to the one absent member, Kenneth Houston. SAINT MARY GORETTI On October 16, 1890 in the little Italian village of Corinaldo, M ry Gor- retti was born. Her parents were poor share croppers with a fervent devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Less than twenth-four hours after her birth, the ugly stain of original sin was cleansed from the soul of Mary through Baptism. At an early age she developed an advanced sense of purity, kindness and re- sponsibility. Due to extreme poverty, the Goretti family moved to a tenant farm when Mary was six. The long hours and extremely hard work caused the death of her father in 1900. Alexander Serenelli, a tenant laborer, has his quarters in the Goretti home. Mary's beauty appealed to the young man, whose early life had been spent in corrupt conditions. He made impure advances but was scornfully rejected. On July 5, 1902, determined in his sinful ways, A1- exander commanded Mary to sin or die. Bravely, Mary defied him and was stab- bed fourteen times. When found, the dying virgin was rushed to a nearby hos- pital. A painful operation failed to counteract the severity of the many wounds. Surrounded by her mother and friends, Mary forgave her m rderer and went to her eternal reward in the glory of heaven. During the trial, Alexander tried in vain to demoralize the little mar- tyr, but to no avail. He was sentenced tc thirty years of hard labor. ' One evening, while sitting in his cell, Mary appeared to Alexander, again forgave him, and asked him to repent and to pray hard for heaven. Alexander was ins spired by Mary's words and began a new life. When released after twentyefour years, Alexander journeyed to Corinaldo, obtained the forgiveness of Assunta, Mary's mother, and soon after attached himself to a monastery as a laborer where he still lives in prayer and repentance. Through the testimonies of the anew' Alexander and the acknowledgment of various miracles connected with the young martyr, Mary Goretti was beatified on April 27, 1947. Then on June 24, 1949, before the third largest crowd ev- er to gather in Peter's Square, Pope Pius XII canonized the virgin martyr, Saint Mary Goretti. In 1947, when Mother Cabrini was canonized, every leading newspaper in America proclaimed the event in bold-type headlines. Yet, the canonization of Mary Goretti was met with small third or fourth page articles by these same newspapers. Can it be that our country has become so depraved that purity is no longer considered an admirable characteristic? Has Am rica become so mate- rialistic that such bravery in the face of death an be scoffed at as 'old- fashioned ? How can a nation, while praying for peace, practice or invite im- morality and yet expect a successful outcome? we have chosen Saint Mary Goretti as our class Patron for we feel that, since she has lived in our own times, she knows cur problems first hand. May she help us live as she lived that, some day, we may enjoy Heaven with her. ' Charles Doolittle '51 x N r N I l -V - tx: Qi ., w '? x-PM . .X . Rav: Xlfre-d l5m.if'iel'1, Joseph Ted, 'f-'Y'rZ'?

Then someone aske the question, uHcw many from Saint Henry's Parish have entered the religiou: life?' In looking back to answer that question we find that there are cnlg nineteen. Among them, Father Sidney Stocking and Father Elmer McFadden are th only priests. Brother Leo Scholz, S.M. is a Marianist teacher, Frater Hmm Telker, 0.S.B. is a novice at Saint Meinrad's in Indiana. Richard Rolwing an: Richard Doolittle are in Kenriok Seminary in Saint Louis. Various communities are represented in our group of sisters. Mother Miriam, Mother Norbert an: Sister Pulcheria are Ursulinesg Sister M. Imogene, a Holy Cross Sister, Siste1 Bartholomew is a Dominican, and Sisters Mary Stella, Florence, Marietta, Bea- trice Marie, Xavier Marie, Mary Cosma, Barbara and Nhry Virgil are members oi the Sisters of the Most Precious Blood. Nineteen is a small number but we are proud of these chosen few and hope that in future years more will be called into His service. Frances Hughes '52 Scripture Class Every Thursday morning a small but eager group of High School students gathered in the Senior room'with Father Schmitt for Scripture class. The pur- pose of this class was to help us to a better understanding of Holy Scripture and therefore gave us a better appreciation of it. we of the Scripture class sincerely thank Father Schmitt for the donation of his time and his interest in us. Frances Hughes '52 Seniors of '51 Strange names float around the campus of St. Henry School. Here are the Seniors, as determined by some of these names. Frances Scheffer answers, none too cheerfully, to the name of 'PedeleeY Betsy Alice McGuirk is Bitsy or Liz . She isn't so wild about either. Ma- ry Kathryn Cassel is Mary Kay . As for the boys, Charles Doolittle, Do-big to you, is class president, while Bert Rolwing, just plain nCur1y', is vice- president. Bobby Coon is Horace to many, but he also answers to Coonie .

St. Henry School opened its doors to commence a new school year on September 5, 1950. After High Mass in honor of the Holy Spirit, celebrated by our Pastor, Father Schmitt, the forty-four high school students and some two hundred grade school pupils settled down to school routine. All our last year's teachers were still with us. September passed quickly. Charles Doolittle and Bert Rolwing were appoint- ed to edit the St. Henry Highlights , our weekly column in The Enterprise - Courier. These two boys were also elected Senior President and Vice-President respectively. Early in October, Mother M. Borgia, C.PP.S., and Sister M. Innocentia, C.PP.S. visited our school. Forty Hours Adoration was held the following week. Shortly afterwards the seniors began to solicit ads for the 1951 St. Henry An- nual. On foot, on bicycle, in cars, they visited all the good neighborhood business people and were met with a grand response. Everyone with a camera was pressed into service for pictures for the Annual. Mr. Curtis O'Neal took the class pictures. Late in October, the minds of the high school students were jarred by two tests, an I.Q. test and a reading test. November 4 was Father Schmitt's name day. As that was Saturday, we antic- ipated the feast on Friday. Brother John Kessler, S.M. visited us and gave us a very inspiring talk on vocations. The grade school enjoyed an entire week's vacation at Thanksgiving, thanks to a teachers' meeting. The next week the Health Department examined ears in the middle and upper grades. The Seniors donned caps and gowns for their individual pictures. The last day of November brought Doctor J. Menzies van Zandt, concert pianist, who performed for us and told us life stories of several composers. December 1 and our poems were on their way to the National High School Pe- etry Contest. At the annual Christmas program, we presented Father Schmitt with new vases for the altar and Father Rau with a credence table and statues for his crib in East Prairie. After the program the Ladies' Sodality served re- freshments to all and school was dismissed for the Christmas holidays. At Mid- night Mass on Christmas five high school girls, Frances Scheffer, Betsy McGuirk Virginia Carr, Frances Hughes and Rosella Schaffer, received special honor by being in the procession to'the Crib. we closed the year 1950 with Holy Hour and opened the New Year with Mid- night Mass. School reopened January 2. Names of ten winners of the Poetry Con- test arrived, namely Charles Doolittle, Betsy MoGuirk, Bert Rolwing, Lois Ar- nold, Frances Hughes, James Manker, Mary Margaret McGuirk, Mary Cecilia Litch- ford, Ronald Lober and Jack Marshall. By now the Annual had assumed some shape and form. Pictures and papers were in evidence here and there. Doctor McLane of Missouri University visited and inspected our school. His smile when he said WGood-by' made us think that he enjoyed the visit. Father Rau's name day was January 25. we celebrated it as we did Father Schmitt's, by attending and sing- ing the High Mass. Exams came the last week of January. Those of us who had studied did not find them so hard. Since St. Valentine's day ame in Lent this year, we held our annual Val- entine Party on Shrove Tuesday, February 6. The major event of the party was ' ,KQHQQ G , 1 1 :,,+5w:1g4f1ey-2e1.f.-Q-.. ,f'J1f:1 ?: ,J 9e5'Cf'f f'fH?6'e1L5'A'2-:EL'5'731 X f f 1 .W f the election of the King and Queen of Hearts, which honor finally fell to Ver- non Smithers and Martha Ann Reed. The annual sale of Valentines by the seventh and eighth grades was a huge success. The two affairs netted 8ll5.25, our Val- entine to the Parish. The High School Teachers' Meeting gave us two free days and removed all traces of jealousy of the grade school's free days last Novem- ber. After the free days we began to work on essays for the Serra Contest, and then poems for the spring National High School Poetry Contest. lhrch sped by and, all too soon, Easter was here. After Easter we held a Spelling Bee, took the National Competitive Latin Exam, enjoyed three days of Retreat, attended the Prom, and then -- Graduation Day. It was a wonderful school year, this year of 1950 - 1951, one which will rennin in our memories for nnny years to come. CXQ Posrs' comma QQ A Holiday Wish my the trees in the hollcws, And the birds in the air, Bring joy and laughter Into each tiny care. Vernon Smithers ' 51 minmry cemetery A row of Crosses standing white, Against the darlmess of the night. A vigil kept through every day For soldiers who have passed away. All these Crosses stand alone, For the nnny who have gone. Passed away, gone from our sight, Those who nade our own days bright. All these Crosses seem to say They are gone, they've passed away. These like the nnny nartyrs slain, We know they have not died in vain. James Bunker '52 A Dream in the Twilight My heart sings of happiness Of love always true.- My soul in restness, Thinking of you. A dream of you near me, A listless thought, The happiness of laughter, Evening du k has brought. Mary Margaret McGuirk '52 mn and Gentlemn My saying is, 'Muscle mketh man, Etiquette naketh gentlenan. Etiquette and muscle combined lhlceth the gentlemn refined. James Carr ' 53 lbmories Snow encamps the garden, Memories entreat my pardon. Pictures entvrlned within me, Life enlcindles for thee. Spring enhanced the place, Summer endowed its face. Autumn engulfed with color, Winter enrobed in duller. Seasons enacted in beauty, Nature entrusted a duty. Betsy Alice McGuirk '51 Calvary When on the Cross our Savior hung And at the foot His Mother clung. There on His right was a good thief 'With his true love for God complete, And sorry for his sins gone by But sorry not that he must die. His soul to Heaven did ascend To Christ his loving soul did bend. Though Christ did die long years ago His love for mn is still aglow. George O'Rei.lly '52 -Aw .1 f . 5: - A 'wk :J Q 5.

The parish festival was a huge success. The day had been well-planned with amplehentertainment for everyone. lhny people attended during the day but the crowd that night was even larger. The little tots enjoyed the fish- ing pond, the older children, the various games, the oldsters, everything, and one and all enjoyed the delicious hickory barbecued hams with all the trimmings. The turtle-racing furnished the chief attraction of the afternoon. In the early evening, dozens participated in the cake walk. At night, dancing, alternately round and square, was the main feature. In every face, through- out the day, evening and night, shone the joy of being present. Such a grand event could have been made possible only by the whole-hearted cooperation of all the workers, the donors and the participants. We look forward to another festival this coming summer.
