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.
