Yet, everyone fully knows—parents and students, as well as faculty members—that the spiritual life of a Catholic young man is of prime importance; it is, as in all our years, what must come first. The foundation of all student spiritual activities at St. Ignatius is the Sodality of Our Lady. Through this organization the future Catholic leaders of America not only learn more about the dogma and devotions of the Faith, but are also instructed in practical ways to help fellow Catholics attain greater perfection, to aid those who have fallen away from the one, true Church, and to bring into the Fold those who, through neglect or ignorance, do not yet know real peace and happiness. The Senior Sodality, with Father A. V. Kanuch, S.J., as moderator, chose as its 1949-50 prefect, Bob Small, and as its assistant-prefect, Pat McDonnell. Bob Murray was voted as secretary, Mike Blackwell, treasurer, and Bill Tumney, instructor pf candidates. As in previous years, “The Queen’s Work” subscription drive was the first activity which the Sodality backed. This was followed by a social with Lourdes at St. Patrick’s Catholic Club on the 28th of October, while on this same day the Sodality Union held a meeting at St. John’s College. Bob Small, treasurer of this Sodality Union, represented Ignatius along with the other Senior Sodality officers. In observance of -the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima and her exhortation to pray for world peace, the sodality sponsored the daily recitation of the Rosary during the junior-senior lunch period in October, and urged all Ignatians to receive Holy Communion every first Saturday in reparation for the crimes of the world. The Sophomore Sodality—with Bob Porter, prefect, John Mahon, assistant prefect, Don Mack, secretary, and Chuck Miletti, treasurer—likewise joined in making special efforts to recite the Rosary daily, and they also started a movement to popularize the saying of grace before and after meals in the cafeteria. On December 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, at St.' Stanislaus in Parma, the Senior Sodality held a retreat conducted by Father R. F. Harvanek, S.J. These closed retreats—two of which were held at the Jesuit retreat house during the school year —are times of prayer, meditation, penance, and are filled with the joy of that certain realization of extreme nearness” to the Divine Presence. Father A. F. Mcnchen, S.J., was the retreat master for the second period of recollection during the latter part of Holy Week, from Wednesday evening, April 5th, through Holy Thursday and Good Friday, to Holy Saturday morning, April 8th. This provided an excellent occasion for the many seniors who attended to reflect over the past and to think seriously about their future life. The senior sodalists—headed by Jim Libera-tore, Bob Small, Pat McDonnell, Joe Dory, Bob Murray, Mike Blackwell, and Bill Tumney— sponsored their annual Christmas Dance on Thursday, December 29th. During the last two weeks of December, the Sodality Canned-Food Drive for the poor families in the neighborhood was held, and with the cooperation of the whole school, it was a great success. Under the guidance of Mr. R. J. O’Brien, S.J., forty members of the Sodality Christmas Choir, with Felix Spittler playing Santa Claus, entertained the patients of St. John’s, Charity, and St. Alexis Hospitals with the traditional carols. Marycrest and the Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor were also visited by the talented vocalists, who gave up much of their holiday time in order that a little of the Christmas spirit might be shared with those less fortunate. Other activities of the Sodality included spon- 25 sorship of the Stations of the Cross on Mondays and Wednesdays during Lent, a Missa Recitata Mass on Monday, March 27th, and gathering of the used Christmas cards for the benefit of the missions in India. Another important project was that at Merrick House, home for the under-privi leged, where sodalists spent one day a week after school in aiding the direction of various clubs and programs for the children. And, of course, the annual Universe Bulletin subscriptions drive to bring the Catholic viewpoint into every Cleveland home, was strongly supported by the Sodalists as they set the pace for the rest of the school. Aside from the Sodality functions, there were many other religious projects which were sponsored by other groups at Ignatius. Highlighting these was the Father-Son Communion Mass at St. John's Cathedral. This was the first in what is hoped to be an annual affair. Rev. Father D. B. Cronin, S.J., celebrated the Mass, while Rev. John W. Bicri, S.J., president of St. Ignatius High School of Chicago, preached. Father Bieri pointed out the future spiritual role that an organization of Catholic fathers can play in the modern world, and he lauded the Ignatius fathers and sons for their activity. Mass and Communions were offered for the welfare of St. Ignatius students and their families. Afterwards, fathers and sons breakfasted at Hotel Hollenden, where the Honorable James C. Connell spoke. On Monday, October 24th, St. Ignatius was honored with the visit of Fr. McGratty, S.J., who accompanied the perfectly preserved arm of St. Francis Xavier—a relic which has brought about thousands of conversions in Japan. He spoke on the history of the miraculously preserved arm, and about the indulgences connected with it. Another distinguished visitor was Father H. L. Shiffer, S.J., who survived the atom blast at Hiroshima. He related his experiences to the students in an effort to impress them with the need for financial support for the schools and universities of Japan, and with the importance of their contributions. As a result, all the money contributed to the weekly mission fund during the season of Lent was donated to the University of Tokyo in Japan, so that it might continue its work and expand its facilities. He advised prayer as the best defense against the atom bomb, and urged the students to “pray that another one is never dropped”. The annual between-semester student retreat saw the inauguration of the new retreat books, identical to those used at the St. Stanislaus Retreat House. The purpose of this yearly mid-year recollection is to present every St. Ignatius student with at least one time during his school year in which he can devote all his attention to God and his own spiritual life. Father R. J. Erpen-beck, S.J., a member of the Chicago Province Mission Band, gave the Junior-Senior Retreat Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, January 20-22. Father J. R. Koch, S.J., pastor of Our Lady of Springs Parish in French Lick, Indiana, was retreat master for the Freshman and Sophomore retreatants on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, January 23-25. Throughout the entire school year Father J. P. Boggins, S.J., prepared and presented vocational talks to the members of the departing Senior class. These talks featured business men from all walks of life, as well as special addresses by Father W. J. Murphy, S.J., of John Carroll University, and Father R. L. Mooney, S.J., from Xavier University of Cincinnati. The two latter impressed the students with the necessity of attending Catholic colleges, as the only means of insuring their future well-being in later life, as well as attaining supernatural happiness. Thus, St. Ignatius High School—while being a “school of champions” in athletics, and one of the top schools in the country scholastically—at the same time never forgets the tremendous importance of building a student’s spiritual character. In this way St. Ignatius not only prepares each student to take his place in the world, but also prepares him for his supreme goal: to reach heaven and to enjoy eternal happiness. 26 Fathers and Sons listen to Father John Fieri.

(draucis C Cavter f Eternal God, Creator of all things, remember that the souls of infidels have been created by Thee and formed to Thine own image and likeness. Behold, O Lord, how, to Thy dishonor, hell is being filled with these same souls. Remember that Jesus Christ, Thy only Son, suffered a most cruel death for their salvation. Do not permit, O Lord, I beseech Thee, that Thy divine Son be any longer despised by infidels, but rather, being appeased by the prayers of Thy saints and of the Church, the most holy Spouse of Thy Son, vouchsafe to be mindful of Thy mercy; and forgetting their idolatry and their infidelities bring them also to know Him Whom Thou didst send, Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord, Who is our health, life, and resurrection, through Whom we have been saved and redeemed, to Whom be all glory forever. • Amen. % « % I % Ninth rotv: P.

A member of this organization may always be singled out by his flashy blue or white sweater with a brillant yellow-gold “I” on it. The club, which is under the direction of Mr. R. A. McCormick, S.J., moderator; Don McLaughlin, president; Larry Dolan, vice-president; and Don Hoke, secretary, yearly sponsors the big rollerskating rally. This year the rally was held after the Easter vacation.I SI. Ignatius Hand 'T’HIS year’s baod, boasting a total of sixty members, added another chapter to the Ignatius championship-way of life during the '49-’50 season. In the annual Charity Game contest, which includes all the bands in Greater Cleveland, the “tooters” from St. Ignatius received a fourth place for their sharp, perfectly-timed marching. The marchers of the Blue and Gold also performed in a solo exhibition during the half-time ceremonies. During those ceremonies, Mike Schneid, president, presented a floral corsage to Mrs. Jack Hearns, wife of the director. Another parade in which the band participated was the annual Press Christmas Parade which drew over 250,000 people and also was televised over station WEWS. Other parades included the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and the Memorial Day Mass Parade. Members of the band also led the participants of the Father and Son Communion Mass from St. John’s Cathedral to the Hotel Hollcnden, on Sunday, November 20th. At the Hcfllenden they played for the breakfasting father and sons. Of course (need it be mentioned?)] the band furnished all the music for our school rallies. For their efforts throughout the year, members of the organisation feasted at a banquet in the early spring. Members received either major or minor letters and special keys were awarded fo seniors who participated in the band’s activities for four years. Mr. J. T. Hearns and Mr. R. J. O’Brien, S.J., were directors of the group. Officers were Mike Schneid, president, and Ted Sabine, Don Dolcsh, and Tom Holan, assistants. Science Club T yCEETING every Thursday morning are those students who have a desire to further their knowledge of physics, astronomy, geology, and radio-mechanics. During the course of the year talks were given by the members themselves on the lives of scientists, astronomy, elements of radio, study of atomic energy, and radio activity. Father Stcjskal, S.J., the moderator of the club, gave those interested in radio a good chance to pursue their interests by devoting much time to the different phases of radio and by encouraging the members to make their own radio sets. The club elected the following to guide them: Roger Hepperla, president; Bill Todia, vice-president; Gerry Kalal, secretary; and Bill Jack-man, treasurer. Camera Club HOLDING monthly meetings throughout the year, the Camera Club was under the direction of Mr. R. F. Burnham, S.J., assisted by the president, Royal Riedinger, and the vice-president, Jack Stone. Movies were shown during the first semester. Highlights of the second semester were talks by Mr. Henry Barr on photography as a profession, and Mr. Edward Wahl, of The Cleveland Engraving Company, on Photo-Engraving. As usual, many of the younger and newer members of the club were taught the fundamentals of photography and dark room techniques. The old-timers of the club, using the dark room, helped the “Eye” and “Ignatian” in producing pictures, especially candid shots. French Academy HPHIS year the thirty-five members of the French Club were under the capable guidance of Mr. J. L. Magmer, S.J., and Mr. A. J. Palermo. The moderators were ably assisted by A1 Goebel, president; John Finnerty, vice-president; and Clem Koprowski, secretary-treasurer. Many of the meetings consisted of movies on French cities and customs which were shown in order to make the study of French more interesting. Highlights of the year were Mr. Palermo’s illustrated lecture and socials with the French Clubs from Lourdes Academy and St. Stephen High School. Classics Club THE Classics Club furnished the needs of the students who desired to round off the rough edges from their Greek knowledge. The club, under the supervision of Mr. R. A. McCormick, S.J., read “The March of Ten Thousand”. In the spring the fourth annual Greek academy was held; this year, however, a new format was inaugurated. Two teams, comprised of the four top men from each of the two senior Classics classes, were pitted against each other to determine which group had the more precise knowledge of the year’s Greek course. The outstanding student of this acadejny received a medal for his excellence at the graduation ceremonies. The Eye OEVERAL drastic changes made it possible for this year’s “Eye” staff to provide the school with another championship combination. Chief awards were National Scholastic Press Association’s All American, Catholic Scholastic Press Association’s All Catholic, and a second place award in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association competition. Editor Bob Wischmeyer and Moderator, Mr. W. M. Hayes, S.J., revised the paper to conven- tional “tabloid” style, cutting the number of columns from six to five. The loss of line rules from the paper itself, and the installation of page editors and copy managers completed the changes. Staff members attended the annual convention at Kent State University and also the Diocesan Scholastic Press Convention at John Carroll University. At the former convention, one of the Christmas features received a second place award. The “Eye” was awarded a first place tie by the Catholic School Editors for its war on secularism at the D.S.P.A. convention. Judges at this convention also named it as the second best Catholic High School Paper in the Diocese. “Eye” pins were awarded to seven seniors for their distinguished service on the staff, after the staff changes at Easter. Winners of the awards were: Bob Wischmeyer, Bob Murray, John Diskin, Bill Tumney, Pat McDonnell, Jim Quinn, and Tom Gafney. Mr. J. L. Magmer, S.J., was appointed moderator, with the change of staffs at the end of the first semester. Harlequins THIS year the Harlequins changed the locale of their annual play from the Little Theatre to St. Patrick’s Auditorium. This move in no way changed the usual excellent production of Ignatius’ dramatic group. On February 17th, 18th, and 19th, the Harlequins presented “Brink of Laughter” under the direction of Mr. Raymond J. Schneider, S.J. He was capably assisted by Ed Durkin, student director; Dick Soucie, business manager; Bill Jackman, stage manager; and Pat McDunn and Clem Koprowski, who handled the lights. The play was a two-act fantasy which was adapted by Mr. J. L. Magmer, S.J., from Paul Osborn’s “On Borrowed Time”. It portrays a small boy and his grandfather capturing Death in an old tree and holding him powerless there, until they realize he is really a very pleasant, obliging fellow, who is actually needed in the whole world as a part of everyone’s life. Steve Driscoll convincingly portrayed the part of Gramps, who had a great love for his pug-nosed grandson, Pud, who was very well characterized by Bob Morris. Jim Piskura was Mr. 40 Brink (Death), a sett-spoken, affable fellow who came in at inopportune moments to “take people away with him.” Jack Stone played Uncle Hazen, who was a scheming old rascal trying to take Pud from Gramps. Joe Hopkins played Asher, Gramps’ brother, who thought Gramps was a bad influence on I’ud. Don Brandt and Jack Garrity, who played Dr. Evans and Mr. Pilbeam, were Gainesville (the locale of the play) friends of Gramps. Pat McDonnell and Leo Reichard brought roars of laughter in their portrayals of the small-town sheriff and the insane asylum president. Don Kelly was the servant who was on Gramps’ side. Xor can we forget the inimitable Ned Perotti and immortal Ray Becks, who gave their lines as workmen with side-splitting perfection. Cooperation was the keynote which made “Brink of Laughter” a great success. Senior Debaters THAT Ignatius flight be fully represented in the tournament of the ’49-’50 season, the former Ignatius Debating Society grew into the Ignatius Debating and Declamation Society this year. This new section of the organization included speaking in Original Oratory, Dramatic Declamation, Humorous, Extemporaneous, and Poetry Reading. Speakers in each of these divisions, along with the Conventional and Oregon style debate teams, composed the squad that represented the school at these various tournaments. Big event of the year was the annual Bour-daloue Tournament. This year’s tourney introduced Oregon style debating, which includes a cross-examination period. In the speaking section of the tournament, each class entered one student in each of the divisions. Officers of the organizations were: Mr. G. W. Steenken, S.J., moderator; Bill Tumney, president; and Don Ebner, vice-president. Sophomore-Freshman Debaters ANOTHER change took place this year in Ignatius’ Speech Organization. Freshman and Sophomore Debate Teams united into one 41 group under the guidance of the moderator, Mr. D. J. O’Shaughnessy, S.J. The purpose of the new organization is to prepare Sophomores and Freshmen, interested in speaking, for the difficult speech work which will come in Junior and Senior years. Mr. O’Shaughnessy devoted the entire first quarter to acquainting his charges with the matter, and proper debate technique through intra-organizational debates. After this preparation, members Bob Kannanberg, Tom Kerver, Emmett Walsh, and Pete Mooney participated in a debate at Lourdes Academy. The topic was “Resolved: That the President Be Elected by a District Popular Vote.” Other debates were arranged with Gilmore and Beaumont Academies. Officers of the group were Tom Kerver and Tom Hundty. The If natian SENIORS opened the 1950 Ignatian drive at their first “Senior Night” of the year on September 30th, in the school cafeteria. At this meeting, the business staff of the publication was announced. This staff included: Manager Felix Spittler, Tom McGinty, Bob Small, Dan Hammer, and Art FitzGerald. The bulk of all financial work of the Ignatian fell on the shoulders of these eager appointees, for they handled all the billing and collecting of ads, sponsors, patrons, and subscribers. Several weeks later, Mr. Burnham, S.J., moderator, announced that Jim Brown would be in charge of the art work of the publication. His aids in this were: Bill Woodward, Tom Saal, Tom Moore, and Bill Henrick. This quintet began its task by placing posters in the school buildings, urging students to do their part in the drive. After the drive was over they started work on the cartoons and other art pieces scattered throughout this book. Finally, at a chilly November rally, Mr. Bum-ham, S.J., let out one of the school’s top secrets by revealing John Gill as the editor-in-chief of the 1950 Ignatian. John gave a quick talk in which he encouraged even more student support and announced the other members of the editorial staff. They were: Bob Murray and John Reidy, sports editors; Bill Tumney and Russ Harding, activi- ties articles; and Amelio Isabella and Jim Hubert, senior writeups. All the printed material in this volume is the work of the editorial staff. Art Club UNDER the supervision of Mr. T. E. McNamara, S.J., the Art Club redecorated its room in the basement of the Annex. The room was turned into an attractive spot for club members. Morocco-red drapes adorn the windows, the walls are dusty-rose trimmed in powder-blue, and the lighting has been improved with the addition of four fluorescent lights. The club, under the guiding brushes of Don Brezine and Jim Harrington, turned out posters for school activities such as the play, the Tax Stamp Drive, and all Ignatius’ athletic activities. Ignatius Athletic Association T}ILOTED by Art FitzGerald, president, and Dan Hammer, vice-president, the members of the I.A.A. distributed tickets for football and basketball games and for the Harlequins’ play. In addition to this the I.A.A., moderated by Mr. McNamara, S.J., handled dance bids and sales tax stamps during the tax stamp drive. The yearly big load of the Annual Drive was taken off the hands of the I.A.A., but the extra burdens were placed on it by the huge demand for football tickets, especially Charity Game tickets. With willing and energetic business men, the Ignatius Athletic Association was able to close another successful year with perfectly balanced books. Stamp Club WITH their club collection rising to over thirty-five thousand stamps, the members of the Stamp Club enjoyed one of their most successful years. They participated in three big exhibitions including the downtown exhibition at the Hotel Hollenden. A second exhibition was given solely by members of the Ignatius Stamp Club at the exclusive Garfield Perry Stamp Club. This showing included talks by some of the exhibitors. Club members closed their season with a private exhibition for members, families, and friends. Father S. A. Yana, S.J., moderator, and John Geiger, president, piloted the organization. Mission Collectors UNDER the guidance of Father S. A. Vana, S.J., the mission collectors have donated their time and efforts to further interest in the missions. This year the collectors did their usual fine job as they turned in approximately $3000 to help ease the financial burden of the Jesuit Missionaries in Patna, India. At Christmas time, more Christmas cards were distributed by the home missionaries than in any previous year. Fathers9 Club ANOTHER house . . . another success ! ! - These words sum up the Twelfth Annual Student Scholarship Drive, sponsored by the Fathers’ Club. Newly-elected president, William J. Cannon, and his fellow officers modeled this year’s drive on that of 1947 by offering a new house as first prize in the 1950 drive. However, before the 1950 officers succeeded in this venture, the outgoing president, Mr. C. G. Walters, and his assistants had achieved several other goals. Chief of these was the first annual Father-Son Communion Mass held at St. John’s Cathedral. After the Mass, students and their dads breakfasted at the Hotel Hollenden. Other activities sponsored by the Club in-included : the pre-school picnic, the clambake supper, and the annual party for the mothers of Ignat ians. New officers besides Mr. Cannon are: Mr. Hugh E. Smith and Mr. Arthur Dillemuth, first and second vice-presidents; Mr. Paul Lindsay, secretary; and Mr. Frank E. Garry, treasurer. 42 Second row, left to right: John A. Gill.

It is not long, however, before the Frosh understand that they are very realistically a part o St. Ignatius High School and all its activities. Homework, tests, “jugs”, football games, Sodality meetings, Tuesday morning Freshman Mass, etc., soon become better known and understood. The Freshmen of the year 1949-1950 had their first strong opportunity to show they were Ignatians in the many victorious football games of October and November. Some seemed to have been inspired by their fathers and older brothers to be loyal boosters; to others it came natural. Upper-classmen, and football and basketball players in particular, should be grateful that the youngest of Ignatians caught the spirit of the Blue and Gold so quickly and completely. In sports the first-year men showed themselves most capably. The football team won 4 of their 7 games, while the “basketeers” had the outstanding record of 20 wins in contrast to only 4 losses. Although Frosh Track was begun last year it was fully organized for the first time this spring with more than thirty aspirants. Swimming, too, provided another athletic opportunity for more than a dozen Freshmen when Father E. O’Brien, S.J., organized St. Ignatius’ first swimming team. Scholastically, the first year was divided into nine classes, A-J. The presidents of these classes were: A. J. Rocco, 1-A; H. R. Stringer, 1-B; J. T. Myers, 1-C; P. T. Conway, 1-D; J. A. Hill, 1-E; J. A. Keane, 1-F; G. J. Murphy, 1-G; W. B. Votteler, 1-H; R. J. Reese, 1-J. Looking forward to their sophomore year the more than two hundred Freshmen participated in many extra-curricular activities and formed a strong Sodality of Our Blessed Lady. Congratulations to all for finishing the first of four laps. JUST as an army’s strength lies in its reserve force, so, much of St. Ignatius’ spirit depends on its under-classmen. Without the sophomores’ enthusiasm for school activities, the Ignatian spirit could not have been able to reach this year’s heights. This spirit of Ignatius’ future leaders is outstanding in all the school endeavors, whether they be spiritual, scholastic, or athletic. Aiding in the Harlequin production were four Sophomores whose acquired experience will empower them in the art of stage presentation in the years to come. Second-year men were also responsible for the rejuvenation of the Art Club and the redecorating of its studio. The “Eye” staff has primed nine of the soph leaders for key roles in the publication of the “Eye”. It is mainly on the shoulders of those capable columnists that the “Eye” will depend in the years of 1951 and 1952. The Sophomores can be justly proud of the part they played in the varsity sports program, as they were well-represented both on the football field and on the basketball court. The most prominent of the four who so participated was Don Mack, whose kicking aided the Wildcats immensely. So too, with Dave Demko, whose versatility on the hardwood enabled him to attain a position on the All-Scholastic basketball team, an accomplishment seldom attained by a Sophomore. The Sophomores have now finished fifty per cent of their high-school career and have earned the title of “upper-classmen” along with the new Seniors. 61 •funiors Seniors AS the activities book closes for the graduating seniors, they look back with thanks to and hopes for the Class of 'SI. All activities at Ignatius, spiritual, mental, and physical, prospered this year. But their success is not due solely to the leadership of the seniors, for always at their side, working hand in hand, were the helpful, eager juniors. The junior contingent of the Sodality, led by Joe Dory, proved most active during the past year. Though split into the small committees of the Sodality, the entire junior group was always ready to lend a helping hand to a senior-sponsored project. Working hard as regular starters for the city champion Ignatius eleven were linemen Joe Duffley, Gene McCann, and Pat Cannon and back-field stars Paul Brubeck and Dick Buescher. Other juniors supplemented the other varsity teams and also the Jay Vee squad. And who could forget the work of I.A.A. members Joe D’Amatto, John Yurchenko, Fred Labadic, and Joe Schneider, as they disposed of contest tickets. In the field of journalism, the juniors took complete control at the end of February. Tom Simon is Editor-in-Chicf of the “Eye” and his assistants include Page Editors Bill Haas, Frank Granzier, Pat McDunn, and Leo Cachat. The Editorial Board includes Art Dister, Mike Mc-Clarnon, and Joe Madigan. Also, classes 3-B and 3-D have organized classroom papers. Jim McCormick and Tom Simon led several junior teams entered in this year’s Bourdaloue Debate Tournament. And finally, the Class of '51 “stole the show” in the school play by placing two members in the two leads of the play. Steve Driscoll played the part of “Gramps” Northrup and Bob Morris became “Pud” for the three play nights. A dozen other juniors were either in the actual cast of the play or on one of the promotional committees. WHETHER on the athletic field, in the spiritual field or in the classroom, the spirit of '50 was such that it always shall be a source of pride to this year’s seniors. When the football team traveled to Toledo to play its first game of the season, a sizable contingent of seniors followed their varsity gridders and cheered them on, despite heavy rainfall. Throughout the football season, from the Lincoln game to the Charity Game, the team never lacked the support of the student body, which was led by seniors. While the basketball team was in hot pursuit of the Senate Title, and later, the Regional Championship, there was always a large, loyal, and noisy crowd of seniors present to cheer for the fighting Wildcat cagers. In the annual drive for funds for the 1950 Ignatian, it was the fourth-year men who brought in more than half of the total returns. Without the work of the graduating class, this book could scarcely boast the size and quality that it does. “Brink of Laughter,” this year’s Harlequin production, owes much of its success to the many seniors who worked hard as actors, publicity men or members of the stage crew. Another kind of spirit was also evident in the Class of 1950. In all spiritual undertakings, as well as temporal, the seniors showed the same enthusiasm. Highlighting the past year were three closed retreats at St. Stanislaus Retreat House, the regular mid-year retreat, and the new Father-Son Communion Mass at St. John’s Cathedral. These various accomplishments mentioned above are but a few examples of the spirit of the Class of ’50. When that graduation night finally rolled around, the seniors could look back with pride on a most successful and enjoyable four years at St. Ignatius. 62 T JL he faculty of St. Ignatius 1 Iigh School extends sincere congratulations to the Seniors and to all the underclassmen who, since their entrance, have endeavored to uphold the scholastic standard of their school. By doing this they have been constantly increasing in that wisdom which is so necessary to true success. %e4Ame i Mr. Brickman . .

Senior (?C Z46 O icenA Boh Murray—Treasurer Ed Kaczur—President Ed Durkin—Secretary Jack Brandabur—Vice-President I c°mpoki By ¥ PLAYING under the lights at Toledo, the Wildcats opened their season on a bad note as they dropped a 20-7 decision to Toledo Scott. The easterners, led by All-Ohio Lester Allen, dominated play in the first half and scored two touchdowns in that period. Toledo pushed over another T.D. in the third quarter, and Ignatius finally broke the ice in the late minutes of the game as Ed Kaczur passed 21 yards to Brian Donohue in the end zone. Toledo 7-7-6-0—20 Ignatius 0-0-0-7— 7 SHOWING speed and power, an alert and aggressive Wildcat eleven opened their drive for the Western crown and place in the Charity Game by walloping Lincoln 32-14. The Saints scored twice in the first half; the first being Ed Kaczur’s 11-yard run around end and the second, an 18-yard pass from Hoke to Brubeck. The half ended with the score 12-0. The climax of the game came in the third quarter when Ed Kaczur whirled 71 yards on a brilliant off-tackle gallop. This broke the game wide open, for on the next kickoff, Jim Schram recovered a fumble in the end zone for another six-pointer. The final touchdown was made on a quarterback sneak by Ron Hummer. Ignatius 0-12-14-6—32 Lincoln 0- 0- 7-7—14 THIS contest with West proved that it would be hard to stop the Wildcats from reaching the Charity Game. Scoring in every period, the team showed its offensive power by ringing up 13 first downs and its defense strength by preventing West from passing the 25-yard line. Paul Brubeck crossed the goal line twice; once on a five-yard plunge and again by taking a 37-yard pass from Jim Schram. A third-period score was made by Ron Hummer on the second play from scrimmage after Bob Novak had recovered a fumble on the West six-yard line. The final tally was made by Ed Kaczur on a 24-yard run around end. The three points added by John Gill’s placements left West plowed under by 27 points. Ignatius 7-6-7-7—27 West 0-0-0-0— 0 SoutA THE Saints dimmed the Charity Game hopes of South in this one. After Pat Cannon recovered a fumble in the first quarter Paul Brubeck carried the ball across the goal line for a six-pointer. John Gill added the important extra point. A successful pass by South’s Hal Jacobs kept South’s hopes high. As the second half opened, Brian Donohue came through with an interception and Brubeck made it count by dashing 70 yards for a T.D. after receiving a pass from Don Hoke. Again Gill made the conversion. South drove across in the third period for another score, but had no match for Gill’s toe work. Another step towards the Stadium. Ignatius 7-0-7-0—14 South 0-6-6-0—12 TfaviduUl IN a rough and tough contest, an alert Wildcat eleven came out on top by holding their early lead. Dick Buescher’s recovery of a fumble in midfield and Ed Kaczur’s flip to Paul Brubeck sent Paul racing 51 yards down the sideline for the only tally of the game. John Gill’s successful placement brought the score to 7-0 within the first three minutes of the game. Despite Herb Eiblcr’s aerial accuracy, which brought Marshall into scoring territory five times, the Saints kept the Lawyers from reaching pay dirt. Ignatius 7-0-0-0—7 Marshall 0-0-0-0-0 'ffyoly Ttame IN a close and hard-fought battle, the Wildcats overcame the Green Wave of Holy Name, 6-0. The lone tally was set up when Dick Buescher received the opening kickoff of the second half and behind exceptional blocking ran 79 yards to the Namer’s eleven-yard stripe. Larry Dolan carried the ball to the five, and Buescher, on his second attempt, blasted through center for the score. Late in the second period. Holy Name worked the ball down to the Ignatius eight, but Don Mack intercepted a pass in his own end zone, returned the ball to the Cat’s 30, and thus eliminated the Namer’s only serious threat of the evening. Ignatius 0-0-6-0—6 Holy Name 0-0-0-0—0 TOc t 7ec A LTHOUGH the field was very muddy and slippery, and the weather was cold and wet, the Wildcats lost no time in getting their scoring machine into high gear. Dick Buescher received the opening kickoff on his own 19, and ran all the way to pay dirt. Again in the first quarter, Larry Dolan’s 25-yard pass to Don Mack in the end zone accounted for the second tally. In the second half, Ignatius converted a pass interception and a Tech fumble into a pair of touchdowns. Felix Spittler intercepted an aerial on the Tech 30 and raced over the goal, and Pat Cannon recovered a fumble which paid off minutes later as Dick Soucie blasted off tackle for three yards and the final T.D. John Gill converted on three of his four attempts. Ignatius 13-0-7-7—27 West Tech 0-0-0-0— 0 OFF to a slow start, the Wildcats were outplayed by the Rhodes Rams for the first two quarters. Each team scored in the first stanza, Ignatius on Kaczur’s off-tackle smash for four yards, and Rhodes on Kruggel's plunge from the one. Rhodes, however, made their extra point and led 7-6 at the half. A different team left the Ignatius dressing room for the second half and in the fourth quarter Dick Buescher put the West Senate Champs ahead to stay as he scored from the Rhodes three. Minutes later Pat Cannon put the game on ice as he intercepted a pass on the Rams’ 23 and went the distance. Dick Soucie’s end run supplied the extra point. Ignatius 0-6-0-13—19 Rhodes 0-7-0- 0— 7 (PfavUtof • Scut 7ecA AN underrated but fighting St. Ignatius eleven k proved their- worth as they pounded out a 13-0 victory over the Scarabs of East Tech in the Annual Charity Game, thus winning the City Championship of Cleveland. The Wildcats scored once in the first quarter and once again in the final stanza. In the waning minutes of the first period, Don Mack's brilliant punt sent the Scarabs back to their own three-yard line, and after Tech gained nothing in two tries from scrimmage, Steve Piskach punted out to his own 32. Three running plays and a penalty brought the Wildcats to the 18-yard stripe, and a Dolan-to-McLaughlin pass took them to the four. Paul Brubeck, on his second try, took the ball over for the score. John Gill converted. Early in the final period, with Ignatius in possession of the ball on the Tech 42, Larry Dolan tossed a flat pass to McLaughlin who proceeded to run 3|5 yards through the entire Artisan secondary fc)r the score. East Tech’s main threat came in the third quarter when Ed Billinovich completed passes which brought this t am from its own 41 to the Ignatius four. At this point, the gallant Ignatius line held firm for four downs and the Wildcats took over the ball on their own two-inch line. Through the entire contest, the members of the defensive team displayed an excellent and airtight defense which afforded a fitting climax for their season record of five shut-outs in nine games. Ignatius 7-0-0-6—13 East Tech O-O-O-O— 0 tycuf 'l ec 0?o tfcUl BECAUSE of the varsity’s great season, the successful record of the Junior Varsity has received little notice. The Jay Vees, however, under Coach William H. Scopel, compiled a record of three victories and two ties, and thus gained the West Senate championship. In their first league game, the junior Wildcats trounced the South Jay Vees by a score of 33-7. The following week the Vice-presidents from Lincoln fell to the Ignatius onslaught of 25-20. In subsequent games the Cat Jay Vees topped Marshall, 13-0, and tied West Tech and Rhodes by a score of 6-6 in both games. The Scopelmen split even in two independent contests, beating Elyria Catholic 13-0, and dropping a close one to Cathedral Latin, 0-7. Some of the better players who have shown promise for the future are Bill Musson, Louie Jerman, Marty Stassel, Dick Gallagher, captain Dick Twohig, Bob Porter, Prank Murphy, Bob Keane, Chuck Mileti, Don Hildebrandt, Bill Wilkinson, Jim Olmstead, Wayne Olson, Ed O’Connell, Tom Moffitt, Dick Abel, Claude Ussai and Don Morse. THE St. Ignatius Wildkittens completed a successful season, ending up with four wins and two losses. In the first game of the season they fell before a freshman team from Lincoln with a 13-7 score. The Frosh were leading 7-6 at the half, but in the third quarter Lincoln completed a long pass to win the game. In the second game of the season the Freshmen were beaten by an inspired Latin squad, 32-0. In the third game of the year with Tony Stringer passing and Tom Boyle on the receiving end, and the whole team playing one of its finest games, the Frosh crushed Holy Name by a 28-13 score. The Wildkittens played St. Edward’s of Lakewood twice and blanked them twice. High scorer, and the best player, for the Frosh was Tony Stringer. Terry Conway, in spite of numerous injuries throughout the season, played top-notch ball. The most improved players are Tom Boyle and Don Berg, both of whom show great promise for the future. 107 cu eetiall DURING the 1949-50 basketball season, the Ignatius hardwood squad ranked among the best teams in the city and compiled a record of twelve wins and six losses. The Wildcat hoopsters got off to a slow start as they dropped their first three contests. Parma’s Redmen edged the Ignatians, 53-48, in their season opener, and the following week, Latin rolled to an easy 54-39 victory over the Cats. Against Toledo Central, the Wildcats began to display their true form, although they lost a 51-47 heartbreaker to Toledo, the team that placed second in the state last year. Ignatius led their out-of-town opponents all through the game until the cool Central team began to click in the final three minutes. In their first game of Senate competition, Coach Bill Scopcl’s squad gained an early lead and never lost that advantage as they topped a strong Lincoln five, 40-33. In an independent game, the Wildcats blasted Canton Central Catholic by a 51-37 count. West High’s Cowboys next tasted defeat at the hands of Ignatius, and the Cats found no trouble, for they swamped West 43-29. South’s height proved too much for Ignatius to handle, and the Flyers overcame the forces of the Blue and Gold in a game which was much closer than the 57-45 score indicates. After this defeat, the Ignatius scoring machine started to move in high gear. The defending city champs, Marshall’s Lawyers, kept pace with the Cats during the first two periods, but in the third frame, a 15-point scoring spurt put Ignatius ahead to stay. Marshall came back strong in the final period, but the Scopelmen were even stronger, and the Lawyers fell, 55-46. Next victims of the Blue and Gold onslaught were the hapless men from Holy Name, who watched the Cats establish a new school scoring record of 79 points while the Namers collected only 38. The following day, the Wildcats traveled to Warren and took St. Mary’s in stride, scoring an easy 62-51 victory. Ignatius’ fourth straight win was scored at the expense of West Tech. Both teams started slowly, but as the game progressed, Ignatius gradually pulled away from the Warriors. The final score was: Ignatius 47, Tech 39. Facing the Rhodes Rams in the final game of the Senate schedule, the Wildcats dropped a 53-51 decision and thus lost their chance for the West Senate Title. With two seconds remaining in the game, Rhodes substitute Don Neuman broke a 51-51 deadlock with his desperate long shot from over half-court. In the high school basketball tripleheader at the Arena, Ignatius avenged a previous loss to South as they overcame the Flyers, 44-42. This victory gave them undisputed possession of second place in the West Senate. The following week, the Ignatians had little trouble in downing East Tech 42-37 in an independent contest which had been postponed from earlier in the year. District Tournament In the annual District Tournament, the Wildcats eliminated three successive foes before losing to the Lincoln Presidents in the West Side finals. First tourney victims of the Scopelmen were the high-riding Redmen from Parma. Though Parma led through most of the game, a fourth-quarter Ignatius rally proved too much for the south siders who fell, 60-56. 108 Next on the list of Wildcat victories was Lakewood High. After they pulled from behind just before half time, the Ignatians sailed easily through the remainder of the game and the contest ended with Lakewood on the short end of a 55-41 count. Elyria’s Pioneers got off to a very fast start and soon led the Ignatius five, 13-1, in the opening minutes of play. The Wildcats once again showed their true spirit as they fought their way up to within two points of Elyria by the half. In the final period, Ignatius poured in 22 points to pull well ahead of the Pioneers, 55-45. Playing their third game in four days, the Cats fell to Lincoln, 57-49, and were thus eliminated from the District Tournament. For the first three periods, the game was a see-saw affair with neither side seeming to hold any advantage. In the fourth quarter, however, the Presidents pulled away and took the game. Throughout the season, Dave Demko, George Ploucha, and Frank Stringer combined their high-scoring talents to account for a greater part of the Wildcats’ points. Trog Keller and captain Gene Mio were invaluable to the team as expert Doormen and playroakers, and Ozzic Gill and John Braucher, with their excellent work under the backboards, were likewise indispensable. All other members saw much action also. They were : Chuck Gallagher, Don Hoke, Jim Schram, Brian Donohue, and Dan Florian. THE Wildkittens of this year completed a very successful season with a record of twenty wins against three defeats. Coached by Mr. R. A. McCormick, S.J., the frosh lost only to Wilson, West, and Lincoln, and later in the season they avenged the latter two defeats. Paced by the sharpshooting trio of Tom Boyle, Norm Prosser, and Bill Coyne, the freshmen rang up a total of 1044 points for the season against 639 for their opponents. Leading scorers were Tom Boyle, with 331 points, and Bill Coyne, with 227 markers. Other outstanding hoopsters were Norm Prosser, Tony Stringer, Frank Humenik, and Jerry McGinty. fay t ee ‘Scufattall DUPLICATING last year’s feat of copping the West Senate Title, the powerful junior varsity squad went one step farther than their predecessors as they enjoyed a perfect record for the entire year. Coach Fred George’s charges roared victoriously through the season, having little trouble with any of their opponents. In one of their better games, the junior Cats subjected the hapless West Tech squad to a most uncommon humiliation as they piled up a staggering 40-0 lead in the first half. The George-men cooled off in the second half, but won easily, 56-22. The Jay Vees’ closest shave was the South game which was a nip and tuck battle from start to finish. However, the Flyers finally bowed to a score of 37-33. Other victims of the high-riding junior varsity were: Parma, Latin, St. John Cantius, Lincoln, Canton Central Catholic, West, Marshall, Holy Name, Warren St. Mary’s, Rhodes, and East Tech. Members of the high-scoring first team were: forwards Don Mack and Chuck Lamb, center Tom Freeman, and guards Jim Wallace and Jim Lawless. Other members of the team, all of whom saw much action, were: Jerry Becker, Bob Rietz, Bill Wilkinson, John O’Donnell, John Kilbane, Dick Linnivers, Dick Gallagher, and Barney Dillemuth. 109 SeucHtmiK 7ccutt UNDER the guidance of Fr. Ed yard O’Brien, S.J., the newly organized swimming team added another sport to St. Ignatius’ athletic program. Starting from scratch the tank team ended the season with a remarkable record of 3 wins in 8 meets. This was accomplished only through the hard work of such stars as Felix Spittler, Paul Kowall, Quentin Spittler, Walter Tuohy, Fred Friel, John Hengst, Jim Hill and Tom Koberna. Those who received letters were: Seniors, co-captains Jack Brandabur and Felix Spittler, John Ralph, Royal Reidinger and Chuck Metro; Juniors, Bob Dunphy, Jack Furlong, Paul Kowall, Pat McCutcheon, Terry Musson, Dennis Scrivens and Quentin Spittler; Sophomores, Walter Tuohy and Joseph Hickcrnell; Freshmen, Fred Friel, John Hengst, John Hill, Tom Koberna and Jim Brady. 9 | 'HE Cross Country team of St. Ignatius is going to be a threat to all teams in 1950. Eight good reasons for this are that eight of the thirteen men of the past season will be returning. One of these men is Joe Dory, one of the best runners in the Northern Ohio District. Proof of this comes from Joe’s record. He placed fourth in both highly-competitive Senate and District Cross Country meets. In the State Meet he came in 19th out of two hundred of the state’s best, receiving a silver medal. Mr. J. E. Chambers, S.J., Cross Country coach, expects Dory, Jim King, Dom Fallon, Bob Whalen, Bill Haas, Vic Rini, Jim Brandabur and Larry Hoshstrasser, together with some up-and-coming freshmen, to provide a better all-around Cross Country team. THE Wildcat thinclads opened their 1950 season with hopes for a record much better than that of 1949. During the indoor season, their two-mile relay team, composed of Bob Wisch-meyer, Ray McCool, Bob Murray and Joe Dory, gained recognition as they qualified for the annual Knights of Columbus meet at the Arena. At the Interscholastic Indoor meet, the Wildcats scored 10points as they were paced by Lou Jerman in the 440, Dory in the mile, and McCool in the 880 runs. In the outdoor season the trackmen, coached by Mr. John Wirtz, showed steady improvement and garnered a respectable number of points in every meet. Other members of the squad were: dashmen, Don Dolesh, Ed McGuiness, Wayne Olson, Ed Kaczur and Paul Brubeck; mid-distance men, Jim Brown, Ray Boyert, Vic Rini, Clarence Mueller, Dick Twohig, Jim Schram, “Izzy” Isabella, George Leonard, Paul Burens and Lee Lackamp; milers, Pete Radeff, Clarence Blake, John Mayer and Dom Fallon; hurdlers, Joe McKeon and Dick Zunt; and field-event men, John Morrow, Tom J. Freeman, John Kilbane, Frank Sweeney, Dick Reese, Brian Donohue and Don Mack. On the heavy outdoor schedule were the West Tech Relays, the Senate and District meets, a triangular affair with Fairview and Berea, and dual meets against Gilmour, Parma, Marshall and John Adams. 110 • ON March 20th. twenty-four hopeful Igna-tians signed up for the tennis teams. An unusually large number of Freshmen, who give great promise of fine careers as tennis representatives from St. Ignaties, turned out this year. Last year, senior Tom McGuire went to the state finals, and there! are high hopes that some of the members of this year’s teams will do as well. Returning lettertnen Chuck (G.) Gallagher and Harry Englcrt jwill be in there again this year trying to bring tennis honors to the Blue and Gold. Mr. R. J. Schneider, S.J., tennis coach, started the season otit by giving after-school lectures on the fundamentals of court play, basic strokes, and court strategy. Mr. Schneider be- lieves that, in spite of a stiff schedule, the tennis team will be entering the matches of the Greater Cleveland League with the definite advantage of playing more matches at home. ONCE again St. Ignatius enters the Western Division of the Metropolitan Golf League with high hopes of bringing home a trophy. Last year the team placed second in the league. Three lettermen, Captain Jim Piskura, who Was the Senate Tournament Medalist winner last year with a score of 79, Harry Groth, and Jack Reidy, will be back on the greens and fairways again fighting for another Ignatius victory. Thirty men answered the call of Mr. R. A. McCormick, S.J., coach, on March 21st. They immediately began to lay plans for readying themselves for a multitude of matches. In league play they will meet Berea, Parma, Rhodes, Marshall, and Fairview. Independent matches will be with Latin, Mayfield, Shaker, Brush, Euclid Central, East Tech, Collinwood, Cleveland Heights, and Central. Ill NOVAK p. McDonnell KELLER j.
