Chambers DEDICATION U|R. THOMAS P. CHAMBERS has been at St. Ignatius High School for twenty-five years. During these years he has made himself many friends both among his colleagues, Jesuit and laymen, and among the thousands of boys whom he has seen come and go. He has ever labored in the manner of a man sincerely interested in helping and directing Catholic boys during the years in which they are becoming men. It is with genuine gratitude and appreciation that we, who first felt the friendship of Mr. Chambers in 1945, dedicate the IGNATIAN of 1949 to him. p wmim Mum jsm Mriu their mi Ap hjchU-pp m tm- Jmtmst wh «« tmtuv ■gU k M, Mtims v S24 B � � «« � H that jew®s wV'.A. A mi 1 | m«Sf r jgU |g 'ff B- Stas fft t!?r WW ■j$i jjflOUR years 390, shortly after the close of World War II, we Seniors entered St. Ignatius High School. It truly seems difficult to believe that it has come to an end. Strictly speaking, the only things that have come to an end are the daily street-car rides, the duties, pleasures and small knocks from early morning until the close of the school day. This ending, this leaving of St. Ignatius High School, is just a beginning of the mature Catholic lives we are to live. We feel that we have grown up some. We know that along with our physical and emotional growing-up we have been abundantly aided by our Jesuit teachers to grow up mentally and spiritually. For this, and for having been given the realization that our job in life is to become ,,stars, in the Eyes of God we shall ever be sincerely grateful. Raymond T.

Coaches Fred George and John Wirtz, both former Dayton University gridders, guided the team. Mr. George hails from Lima’s St. Rose High, where he led his basketball team to the state finals during the 1947-48 cage season. After leaving Lima, Coach George was awarded the “Coach of the Year” award for the city of Lima on New Year’s Day, 1949. An honor well deserved! Mr. Wirtz was head coach of football, basketball, baseball, track, and swimming at St. Mary’s in Columbus before coming to Ignatius. In his second year at Columbus school he guided his teams to a “mere five’’ Catholic City Championships. Next year will be his second year at Ignatius and he will be trying to repeat his great record. Let’s hope he hits the top again. Jim Darcy, stellar senior fullback, merited All-West Senate fullback, and Larry Dolan gained All-Catholic at fullback also. Tackle Jack Reilly was chosen by the Cleveland Press as “Presstar of the Week” for his rugged line play in the Lincoln game. Jim Darcy also received honorable mention for the Press award. Leo Weithman proved that a serious eye injury didn’t affect his right foot by kicking two field goals and a number of extra points during the season. I arry Dolan, Jim Darcy, Jim Porter, Don Macl aughlin and F.d Kaczur furnished the scoring power, running and j assing. Other outstanding players were Carl Nickels, Jim Murry, George Murray, Dave Harley, Emmett Shaughnessy, Chuck Morgan, Gene Mio, Jerry Weber, Jim Ledvina and Ray McCook Fourth Roto: W.

WEST HIGH After fighting a sec-saw battle for three quarters, West took advantage of “crossed signals” between Ignatius center and back-field as end Steve Mazur tackled Don Hoke, who held the ball, in the end zone. Ignatius fought back but couldn’t cross the final white stripe. The Cat line stopped two Cowboy attacks on the four- and three-yard lines at different intervals of the game. West High 0-0-0-2—2 Ignatius 0-0-0-fl—0 CATHEDRAL LATIN Ignatius battled the mighty Lions to a 0 to 0 halftime scores Jerry Mullin intercepted one of Carl Nickel's aerials and carried the pigskin 40 yards to the two-yard line where Jack Neiser carried over.

Latin 0-0-7-6—13 Ignatius 0-0-0-0— 0 SOUTH The Saints hit paydirt twice during the South contest, displaying the long-lacking offensive power. Just before halftime, Larry Dolan hit “Ace” McLaughlin with a short pass which Mac” gathered in and scooted 75 yards with the ball. Leo Weithman split the uprights to make the score read 21 to 7. South. Another pass—this one from Don Hoke to Jim Darcy picked up 45 yards and another six-pointer. End Al Dcka scored 13 points for the West Senate Champs” as they took the Cat’s measure 33 to 13. South 21-0-6-6—33 Ignatius 0-7-0-6—13 53 JOHN MARSHALL Following a scoreless first quarter, the Wildcats let loose with two counters and gained a 13 to 0 lead. Jim Darcy tallied the first on a 10-yard pass from Dolan. Weith-nian kicked the point. A few minutes later Dolan chalked up one himself but the extra-point try was wide, due to a strong wind. “Sun-Dance” Darcy carried over from the two.for the last Cat touchdown. The try for the point failed again. With 30 seconds of play left in the game. Skip Weithman calmly hooted a 31-yard field goal against the wind to put the lid on the game. Marshall 0- 0-0-7— 7 Ignatius 0-13-6-3—22 HOLY NAME The luck of the Irish prevailed once again as the Namcrs turned a last minute fake field goal into a touchdown and the points necessary to put down the stubborn Ignatius eleven. Jimmy Darcy slashed off tackle in the second quarter and Skip Weithman converted to give Ignatius a 7 to 0 halftime lead. Holy Name added a T.D. in the third stanza but the point was no good and the Cats still led 7 to 0 with three minutes left. Then came the Holy Name lifesaver. Holy Name 0-0-6-6—12 Ignatius 0-7-0-0— 7 BENEDICTINE West Tech field, October 23, 1048, was the scene of the biggest “upset” of the scholastic football season. Benedictine, a no-lcss-than-40-point favorite, got the scare of their lives. The final score was Benedictine 0. Ignatius 3. but it shows little of how the “Battering Bcngals” were battered. “Skip Weithman sent the ball through the goal post from the 22-yard line. He tried again in the fourth quarter from the forty, but it fell five yards short. The Cleveland News and Press gave Ignatius the “Almost Biggest Upset of the Year” and Best Game of the Year awards for this splendid game. Benedictine 6-0-0-0—6 Ignatius 0-0-3-0—3 WEST TECH Ignatius scored in every period to beat West Tech 20 to 21. Ed Kaczur passed to Dolan in the first quarter for a T.D. and “Skip Weithman added the point to tic the score 7 to 7. Dolan passed 22 yards to McLaughlin who ran the remaining 40 yards and Ignatius led 13 to 7. Tech scored 7 points and took the lead 14 to 13 at halftime. Kaczur went over from the 21-yard line but Tech added another also. Then Jim Porter scored and Weithman converted to win the game.

Dave Graydon's important try for the extra point was foiled by Jim Murray. It was Rhodes’ fourth tic and Ignatius’ first in four years. Rhodes 0-0-0-6—fi Ignatius fi-0-0-0—fi One of the fiercest battles waged by Ignatius in many a year was played in the mud. rain, and cold at West Tech Field, November 13th. The game ended in a 0 to 0 tic. Neither team passed their opponents’ 2-yard line during the four quarters. Jerry Weber and Jack Reilly continually stopped high-scoring John Repka from gaining yardage. All during the week preceding the Lincoln tussle Coach Fred George had Dick Soucic and Jim Schram use the plays of Repka. and on the day of the game the line was prepared for him, which the score well indicates: Lincoln 0-0-0-0—0 Ignatius 0-0-0-0—0 55 Third Row: R.

Jay Vee Football iSjjPARKKD by high-scoring halfbacks Paul Brubcck and Jim Schram. the Jay Vee squad compiled a record of four wins against three setbacks, all very close games. Lincoln was the first to taste bitter defeat at the hands of the “Scopelmen” by a 19-0 count. Highlight of the contest was John Gill’s 70-yard run with an intercepted pass. Quarterback Jerry Sullivan scooped in a pass from Gill to drop Marshall. 6-0. Because of the well-earned promotion of Pat Cannon, Ray McCool, and Jack McDonnell to the Varsity squad, the young Cats suffered two losses, to Benedictine. 13-7, and to Rhodes, 13-12. Brubcck and Schram chalked up five more touchdowns in defeating West Tech and Glcnvillc. Both halfbacks finished the season with four TD’s apiece. In the South game, a playoff for the West Senate Trophy, the Flyers trapped Schram behind the gqal for two points and . the West Side Championship. ()ther players attracting much attention in Coach Bill Scopel’s lineup were: Pat McDonnell, Dick Brennan, Jim Wallace, Jim Hubert, Joe Di.Hey, Chuck Blackburn, Felix Spittler, and Bob Keller. Freshman Football 'TIN his second year as freshman coach, Mr. Tom Raleigh led his “chargers” to an impressive record of two wins, two losses, and one tie. Starting in early September he instructed his grid stalwarts in the arts of blocking, running, and tackling which paid off not only in the first game of the season, when the Wildkittens edged Lincoln, 6-0. on a 60-yard pass interception by Co-captain Don Mack, but in each of the five contests the team played. Another pass interception—this one a brilliant 55-yard runback by Joe Cooke —proved to l e the margin of victory over John Marshall, 7-0. Dave Demko added the extra point on a line plunge. Holy Name fought the Kittens to a scoreless tie; Latin and Collinwood gained decisive victories. Coaches Raleigh and Tom McMahon, both former Ignatius gridders, commended all the boys on their eagerness to learn and put into play the fundamentals of the game.

Varsity Squad TlTACED with the task of filling the shoes of nine graduating basketeers, Coach Bill Scopel composed his squad of three senior lettermen and a large number of sophomores. Captain Leo “Skip” Weithman, Bernie Liskey, and Don Brady were the three lettermen of whom only Weithman was a regular on the 1947-48 squad, which was the best Ignatius ever had, with a record of eleven wins and three losses. Coach Scopel continuously shuffled the starting line-up in an effort to find a winning combination. He also promoted Gene Mio, Bob Novak, John Braucher, Jim Schram and Brian Donahue from the star-studded Jay Vees. Mio and Braucher both worked into regulars at guard and center respectively. High scorers Frank Stringer and Leo Weithman both merited second-string All-Catholic positions by the votes of the coaches.and first team members of Holy Name, Latin, and Benedictine. The team was victorious in but one game; yet they always fought, as the close scores of the Canton, Lincoln, and Benedictine contests show. In the district playoffs at Berea, Ignatius unleashed their cat-like fury to grab a quick lead over unbeaten Lakewood High. The Cats led at the quarter 11-10. Poor judgment on the part of the officials kept the “Scopelmen” from adding more points as they awarded Ignatius only one free throw in the first seventeen minutes of play. The players made nine out of ten attempts for the entire game. 60 JAY VEE B A S K E T B A L L Third Row: Bcrlon (Mgr.), Lawless, Donohue. Finncrty (Mgr.), Intihar (Mgr.), Second Rote: Foerstner.

Sophomores John Braucher and Jim Schram kept a scoring duel going from the first through the thirteenth game with Braucher finally retaining the lead by a slim two points over Schram, 109-107. The Georgemen opened the season with a 42-29 victory over East Tech, followed by victories over Parma 39-23. and Latin 49-31 before being defeated by a mixed varsity —Jay Vec team at Canton, Ohio, by Central Catholic 47-36. Midway in the season, first-stringers Gene Mio and Bob Novak were promoted to the varsity five but the young Cats kept rolling along with victories. West High was the first senate team to meet the “champs” and was defeated 44-18; South was next in a very close game, 35-31. Ignatius proved just too powerful for Marshall by whipping them 38-14. Jim Schram hit the Jay Vee scoring peak by caging 16 as Lincoln went down 49-26. St. Mary’s found the trip back to Warren very long after a 55-24 shellacking. Holy Name could only tally 15 points to Ignatius’ 35. John Braucher led the 28-24 victory over West Tech. Ozzic Gill hit 16 against Rhodes as we won 47-19.

Collinwood, was able to register two wins. Our Lady of Lourdes’ junior varsity was the only other team which the young kittens didn’t stop at least once. Benedictine, I-atin, Patrick Henry, and Rhodes split even by winning one and losing one.

Senior Sodality MHENEVER one is seeking the premier organization of St. Ignatius, he instinctively turns to the Sodality of Our Blessed Mother Mary. This is especially true of the Senior Sodalists, who are an incentive to the remainder of the school in accomplishing what they undertake. Under the leadership of prefect Ray McNally, assistant prefects Frank Grdina and Boh Wischmeyer, secretary-treasurer Boh Harter, consultor George Murray, instructor of candidates Tom Dugan, and various committee heads, the Senior Sodality, in early September, l cgan the business of the 1948-49 'school year. With the moderator, Fr. A. V. Kanuch, S.J., and his able assistant, Mr. R. J. Feuerstein, S.J., lending much appreciated guidance, the Sodality sponsored such successful activities as the canned-food drive, the Sodality choir, retreats, the religious articles drive, the recitation of the rosary, the knight’s vigil, and the Missa Recitata. Many mixers were held with various girls' academies throughout the city, but the social highlight of the year was the annual Sodality Christmas Dance which was held in St. Mary’s Gym, December 26th. 88 Directed by Mr. R. J. O'Brien, S.J., the Sodality choir performs at St. John's Hospital, spreading Christmas cheer. Sodalists out at St. Stanislaus Retreat House. Senior Sodality FOURTH ROW: Owens, F.

Sophomore Sodality N preparation for their entrance into the Senior Sodality, the members of 31 the sophomore group have Ijecome more acquainted with the motto of the Sodality, “Ad Jesum Per Mariam ’ and have familiarized themselves with the basic rules of the Sodality. Under the direction of Fr. A. F. Menchen, S.J., who has guided the sophomore division for the past seven years, the weekly meetings consisted chiefly of the recitation of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin, devotions, and spiritual talks. Officers of the Sophomore Sodality are: Joe Dory, prefect; Jim Wallace, assistant-prefect; Jim Schram, secretary; and Mike McClarnon, treasurer. 90 Freshman Sodality JUjtlTH the advent of the 1948-49 school year, it was once 443 again found necessary to divide the freshman Sodality into two groups. This arrangement was decided upon l ccause of the unexpected turnout of candidates for reception into the Sociality. Working under this division, the moderators found it much easier to explain to the enthusiastic frosh the more intricate mysteries of the Church. • After almost eight months of preparation, those who had fulfilled the requirements were received into the Sodality May 1st. Cooperating with Fr. J. J. O’Brien, S.J., in the first group were prefect John Mahon, vice-prefect Joseph Heimann, secretary Donald Graves, and treasurer Bill Ermatinger. In the second group were Paul Lindsay, prefect. Chuck Mileti, vice-prefect. Bob Kannenlwrg, secretary, and Bill Wilkinson, treasurer, who aided Mr. E. L. Fergus, S.J. 91 ST.

A mighty roar! And another Ignatius football game was under way. But in rain or snow, or in sweltering or biting weather, you could always count on seeing a loyal group of blue and gold clad bandsmen lending their musical support to the success of the team. But this was only one of the many ventures undertaken by the hand. Under the direction of Mr. J. T. Hearns, who in turn was assisted by Mr. O. T. Wheeler, S.J., and Mr. R. J. O’Brien, S.J., the roll call of events included concerts, parades, rallies, and a Military Ball. Always there, ever faithful, the band plays, “As we hail the blue and gold”.

Led by President Frank Grdina and associate vice-presidents Hob Harter and Phil Rule, the members managed the distribution of all tickets for football and basketball games, the Harlequin Play, and the Boxing Tournament. One mammoth job is the handling of financial problems of the Annual Drive. Mr. G. W. Steenkcn, S.J., was the moderator of the Athletic Association this year. STANDING: Mr. G. W. Steenkcn.

Here under the cajjable direction of Mr. J. R. Habes. S.J., you would have been able to further develop your understanding and appreciation of the French language. This was attested by the fact that many of the club’s literary giants, after obtaining names and addresses of students in France, carried on a spirited correspondence with our friends across the sea. Add to this the presentation of movies with French dialogue, the study and recording of French plays, and the gala Christmas party, and you can see what a good time was had by all. During the course of the year the moderator was assisted by Jim Koeth as president, and Karl Majewski as vice-president. John Merger was secretary and Art “Pere Noel” Dillemuth was treasurer. Pere Noel (i.e., Santa Claus) presents Monsieur Felix Spittler with a bon, petit gift.

O'Brien, S.J., they turned out posters on behalf of such school activities as the Tax Stamp Drive, retreats, and Ignatius athletic ventures. Dan Dominguez was president, and Leo Hepner vice-president. Jim Brown, as secretary, handled the club’s business details. SITTING: J. McCormick J. Brown, J. Kontur, I). Dominguez, L. Hcpncr, R.

Stamp Club A NATURAL curiosity about rare things and the desire to examine stamps gathered from the out-of-the-way places of the world are all that is necessary to be a member of the St. Ignatius Stamp Club. These stamp collectors, under the guidance of their moderator, Fr. S. A. Vana, S.J., meet once a week to trade and buy stamps. All proceeds from stamps that are sold go to Patna Missions. Outstanding members of the club arc Bob Sendry, Charlie Fitzpatrick, and Eugene Kopan. Left to Rii ht: Kopan, Sendry, Fr. S. Vana. S.J., Cavanagh, Fitzpatrick. Science Club T7THIS year, Fr. J. VV. Stejskal. S.J., converted the former Radio Club, which was restricted to the field of radio, into the Science Club for the benefit of those Ignatians interested in the various branches of science. Meeting every Thursday morning before class, these eager scientists discussed and dealt with the problems of the basic sciences: physics, chemistry, and astronomy, but still devoted much time to the different phases of radio. Members of the Science Club elected as officers this year were: Charlie Otcasek, president; Bill. Jcrinan, vice-president: Nick Smicklas, secretary; and Fred Fisher, treasurer. Chuck Otcasek lectures to the science club on, believe it or not, ichthyology. 100 Fifth Roto: J. Dister, A. Dister, F. Murray, Grccol. Fourth Rote: Bodnar, Kundt , Polomsky, Brown, Rock, Ginley.

Officers are: Chuck Geiger, president; and Larry Dussault, secretary.

Mr. Raymond J. Schneider, S.J., was director and moderator of the Harlequins for the production of the first serious play presented at St. Ignatius for some years. The play, an appropriate one during these times of persecution in many countries of the world, dealt with the life of Blessed Edmund Campion, of the Society of Jesus, scholar, priest, and martyr. Blessed Edmund payed the supreme sacrifice during the reign of Elizabeth. The play, produced at the Little Theater of the Public Auditorium on the nights of April 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, was fittingly dedicated to Cardinal Mindzcnty.

Besides entering Cathedral Latin’s tournament, debates were held with such schools as Lourdes Academy and West High.

Walters, President. Mr. Ralph A. Pfeiffer, first vice-president, Inspector Michael J. Blackwell, second vice-president, Mr. Arthur II. Dillemuth, secretary, and Mr. William J. Cannon, treasurer. These men lead the Fathers Club in the noble endeavors—many of them—to help St. Ignatius High School as much as possible. 'Flic eleventh annual Scholarship Drive came to a close on the night of Saturday. April 30th. From the beginning of the drive on March 14th until the very last minute, all the fathers and students of St. Ignatius did a splendid job, ex] ending time and labor for a cause they thought most worthwhile. One unusual feature of this year’s Drive was the fact that quite a few fathers gave talks to the student body, encouraging them and giving them practical suggestions. 107 A Senior's Diary JUNE June 4—The Eye staff sponsored Junior Night, at which we chose McNally, Porter, Murray, and Liskey to steer our “ship of state”.

New sjjorts activities at St. Ignatius during the late school year. 1948-1949, were Cross Country and Track. Both of these athletic teams promise to be of great importance in the school's future. 172 A “Grad” of ’37 congratulates the Seniors of ’49, and assures them he still remembers St. Ignatius with a warm feeling, as he knows they will, much longer than twelve years from now. 3-F Congratulates the Graduating Class of 1949 Larry Bir Frank LaLonde Gene Rooney Jack Connors Jack Mayer Gerry Schmidt Sy Corrigan Chet Mazer Paul Schwertner Joe Curran Tom McCarthy Bob Scott Bill Fox Tom McGinty Bob Small Jack Gill A1 Mullee Felix Spittler Jim Henesey Jack Murray Jerry Sullivan Gene Hogan Boh Novak Jim Wach George Ina Mike Nowacki Herb Wachsman Jim Italiano Jim O’Brien Walt Walters Mike Kysela Jack Roddy Bernard Weir Fr.

Both of thfese men have been most patient and helpful to us and to Mr. Richard Burnham, S. J., our moderator. Most of the pictures are the work of Mr. Walsh of the Newman Studio and various members of the Camera Club. Sincere thanks to all of them! The art work in the Senior Diary came from the pens and brushes of seniors Bill Rock and Dan Elliott. To both of them, and to senior Bob Friedel, and to freshman Dick Elliott, many thanks for the dozens of posters they made during the Annual Drive.
