lSClPLlN5 GMS? FNTH HON URFRGE HAPPINESS HO p6 DOOR IS OPEN 74 :de 7mm 70 .Z ' 70 get St. James the Greater, patron of our school, because he was an apostle, spent his life opening doors' for others. He traveled to the ends of the world, as it was known then, in order to open the doors that would let in upon the homes of men the everlasting daylight of God's Grace. Our school, dedicated to his memory, is devoted to the same purpose. It is apostolic. It opens two doors: the door to the best things of manls natural life, and the door that, open, causes these things to be seen for the first time as they really are, in the flooding light of Grace. We attain to heaven by using this world well, though it is to pass awayg we perfect our nature not by undoing it, but by adding to it what is more than nature, and directing it towards aims higher than its own.

' I, like an usurped town, to another due, Labour to admit you, but oh, to no endg Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend, But is captive, and proves weak or untrue. Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain, But am betrothed unto your enemy, Divorce me, untie, or break that .knot again, Take me to you, imprison me, for I, Except you enthrall me, never shall be free, Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.

The subjects studied call for consciousness on the part of the student that his formal -education may now be coming to an end, and that opportunity lost now may never be regained. The course in Religion in senior year brings the student to grips with the most critical problems of the world. The Sacrament of Mar- riage is studied in an atmosphere free from the confusion of paganism and disbelief. The social Sacrament is seen to be the provision of the all-wise God for the domestic order of the world. The social doctrine of the church on labor is studied in senior year. ln addition to this, there is a study of apologetics, the science of defending and explaining the Catholic Doctrine. Students are made aware that there are many false manners of reasoning which have the appearance of truth. The English course in senior year makes the student familiar with the best in English Literature. Prose, novels, and poems from the dawn of English letters up to the present day are studied under the direction of Fr. Ryan. The literary history is an important complement to the history of the nation. Chemistry is the science studied in senior year. The numerous industries in the neighborhood dealing in chemical reactions makes this an important course. The changes observable in the world of matter are charted in the lectures under the capable tutelage of Fr. Dunion and studied closely in laboratory work. Mathematics reaches its peak at St. James in the trigonometry and solid geometry courses expounded by.the incisive Fr. Bednar. Trigonometry becomes increasingly important in a world where military science and engineering loom so large. Solid Geometry is undertaken in the final semester. The students find the reasoning process in this discipline a stimulating and productive one. ,,.,.,-i-.--W-W- - is a serious care Senior year likewise presents the students with a course in me- chanical drawing. To the knowledge of art acquired by the student in Freshman year, Fr. St. Clair brings training in technical drawing. Involved and precise drawings of the fundamental mechanical principles are executed. Vertical and slanted lettering is also included in the course. Mechanical drawing is of great practical benefit to all students, whether engineering is contemplated or not. The mastery of French in senior year is directed by Frs. Rafferty and Miklosovic. The principles of spoken and written French are inculcated. Practice in French conversation is a favorite with students. Pronunciation is taught in the Parisian accents. Students who are inclined can in the two-year course achieve a working knowledge of the tongue. There is also available for seniors a course in Problems of De- mocracy under Fr. Vandergeest. The responsibilities of leadership in the community are pointed out with special reference to the part to be played by the St. James graduate in his working life. The task of applying Catholic ideas in a changing world is discussed under the steady and experienced tutelage of Fr. Vandergeest. Fr.

After two years in high school a student feels that it is time for him to become the aggressor in some scholastic way. The curriculum en- courages this spirit. The course in Religion for third year is one that is meant for people of some maturity, calling as it does for the dis- cussion of human acts and responsibilitity in them. Father Walsh conducts this class and makes it pleasant as we see human acts express our duties to God, to ourselves, and to our neigh- bor, all tied in with our supernatural destiny. The moral law within us, like the starry sky above, fills us all uwith unutterable awef' The English course in third year is geared to maturity. Book reports help to make thought- ful meng compositions call for self-assertion. Literature for the first time covers the letters of a nation, of our own nation from its infancy. We learn that to criticise does not mean to be- Fr. Friel Teaching Jrs. Plane Geometry JU IOR'S LOT little. We criticize Poe and Longfellow and find that our judgment has some validity. We learn reverence and broad sympathy in the process. Class discussions, informally conducted on topics of importance in our own lives, show us our school life is not detached from reality. American History is celebrated among third year students. You suddenly find your- self in possession of a gold mine of nuggets tossed lightly from the genial Fr. Knebels, whose wry humor is an institution in St. James. The fortunes of the nation since its birth and the development of political and military enterprise are unfolded to an attentive audience who re- spect in their teacher far more than the Czar of St. James athletics. One of the most interesting of the Junior subjects is Physics, comprising the fundamentals of mechanics, heat, electricity, sound and light.

In the second half of the year we have an interesting and practical schedule. We deal with magnetism and electricity, sound and light. In addition to the reading matter Father Schneider, the teacher of Physics, conducts ex- periments. These experiments hold the atten- tion of all and are profitable to the students. The Newtonian Laws of Physics speak to our wonderment of the unspeakable greatness of God's creation. The unique subject of the year is French. Fathers Rafferty and Micklosovic are the cap- able professors. A knowledge of a new lan- guage gives us a new outlook on life. The hori- zon of the world gets broader. In Junior year French I is taughtg you learn the fundamentals of the language. These basic parts include the in Y., formation of verbs and the sentence structure. French,' the diplomatic language of the world, the language of culture and commerce, forms a significant part of the growth of the St. James man. Under the guidance of Fathers Friel and Wesolowski, the Junior sharpens his reasoning in the study of Geometry. The work in Geometry comprises triangles, parallel lines, circles, angles, arcs, and polygons. On each of these Various topics there are a number of theorms, and usually after each of the theorms there are corolaries. A knowledge of Geometry enables us to better appreciate the wonders of nature. The Professors show how much Geometry is used both in arts and architecture and in nature. This ancient science known to men since before the birth of Christ is an effective and stimulat- ing mental discipline. Change of Classes 'SECTION B-3 Bottom Row: J. Knox, L. Majeski, D. Murphy, J.

The advance made in such subjects as Algebra and Latin shows the student that he is excepted to do work of a highly de- veloped nature. Added to these are the very serious courses in Biology, Civics, and Religion. The Religion Course in Second year seeks to acquaint the student with the glorious his- tory of the Church since its foundation. The dramatic career of the divinely instituted body, stemming from St. Peter and his fishermen friends, is watched through the dangers of dark- ness and the splendor of constant triumph. The way is charted at St. James by Frs. Miklosovic, Hughes, and St. Clair. The final third of the year is devoted to a study of the Sacraments, the seven outward signs provided by Our Blessed Lord for the communication of the Divine Life to men. In Sophomore Year the student undertakes the study of Biology and so finds himself a scientist for the first time. The Biology depart- ment, composed of Fr. Donadieu and Fr. Monag- han, is singularly equipped to bring to St. James IST HONORS Joseph .Rehrman Harry Ousey James Quirk J.

One of the most inter- esting spots in the school, the biology room, presents the appearance of a museum, a zoo, and a hospital rolled into one. The Crucifix in the laboratory is a forceful reminder of the great tradition of Catholic schools in science. The student learns the reverence for God that true scientists have always found in studying His works. The eager sophomore is not at a loss for something engaging in mathematics. The intri- cacies of second year Algebra, under the guid- ance of Fr. Eltz, provide as bracing an adven- i ture in the realm of abstract intellectual discip- line as can be wished for. Fr. Eltz is possessed of an uncanny sense of balance amid the mental gymnastics and keeps track of the mystifying equations with spectacular success. Not the least of the decisive academic steps taken in second year in the venture of the stu- dent into the world of government, is the study of Civics. Father Kane, who spent three years in the nation's capital, brings to the student first hand knowledge of the working of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the govern- ment.

The technicalities of English grammar come in for reconsideration but are put more decisively to work in their function-the expres- sion of clear thought. Reading appreciation is inculcated. Imagination is stimulated by Father Carey's unique approach to a subject which boys sometimes expect to find stuffy, and which on the contrary, proves to be among the most refresh- ing in the curriculum. Fr. Kane is explaining the functions of our federal courts. larly blessed in possessing within its faculty a man of international renown in the use of the Latin tongue. Students of sophomore year have in Fr. Dougherty one whose ability in Latin is remembered by priests the world over for the brilliance he exhibited in the use of Latin both in Rome, and in the Catholic University at Wash- ington.

The world we meet is a different world, certainly a bigger one, and often a faster one. A freshman finds his time all charted out and he finds that he must move around according to a plan that is more de- manding than anything be has ever experi- enced before. He finds that he must cope with personalities that are various, each one making a particular demand and each teacher acting just a little too convincingly as if his subject were the only one in the school. The freshman at St. James makes a thor- ough study of the life of Christ. Under the tutelage of Father Egan, the story of the Savior, His words and His works, provides a fascinating and far reaching study, probably the most im- portant that can ever be made. Father Egan has a deep knowledge of his subject and brings to the class a strong sense of the apostolate that his class must be. FRESHMEN Fr. V. Schneider keeps watchful eye on Fresh- man English.

' rr 3 FRESHMAN'S DAY - will pay and pay For the first time in his life the student undertakes the study of Latin. The importance of.this subject can hardly be estimated. It lies at the heart of all the culture of the world's literature. It exerts a strong influence upon our own language and provides the key to many of the foreign languages. Father Monaghan has experience and proficiency in the field and has successfully directed hundreds of freshmen into the wondrous world of the tongue of Cicero. English in freshman year brings the student demands that he has had suggested in previous work. There is much that seems a review of grammar school workg but the total effect of the year's work is to fix definitely in the mind of the fledgling scholar the fundamental notions of the English language.

The need of a divine designer was clearly seen in the Biology display. Microscopic forms of life, so small that they cannot he seen with the naked eye, were viewed by many. The caged animals and tropical fish held the atten- tion of others. The French exhibit was under constant observation. The posters, folders, and litera- ture obtained by the students dealt with every- thing connected with French. Recorded French lessons were also heard. The exhibition was begun with a short con- cert given by the band and glee club. Some featured songs were, The Bells of St. Mary's and Stout Hearted Men. News soon circulated that 4'The Open House would become an annual event. Fathers Donadieu, O'Connor, and O'Reilly had charge of the affair. Mr. Brennan was again in the middle of things, adding his valuable know-how. The Essence of St. James It is difficult to express within the compass of a few words the movement that is the spiritual life of the St. James student. It does not belong exclusively to St. James by any means. St. James is in debt for it to the sacrifice of parents, pastors and their assistants, and sisters who teach in the elementary schools. All these have contributed in a way that knows no telling to producing the boy who is typically St. James in his values, in his love of God, in his reverence for his fellow men. ln this school an atmosphere is provided in which the spiritual life may grow:, the values of the spiritual life are the values of St. James. The day is begun with prayer, as is every class period. The crucifix hangs in every room. The worship of God is the most important busi- ness of our lives. The re-enactment in the liturgy of the mysteries of man's redemption is constantly in our thoughts. The usual Friday morning finds the entire student body at Mass in beautiful St. Robertis Church. Hymns are sung by the entire student body in homage to Our Eucharistic Lord. There in the hush of the silence that attends the eleva- tion of the Sacred Body and Blood may be heard the heart-beat of the school, face to face with God. First Friday sees the St. James student at- tending Mass in his own church that he may receive into his heart the Lord of his life. De- Fr. Degnan Conducts Stations of the Cross During all Mary Full of Brac Retreat at s ., .... 4s.w,ta,,c,,mm-wmw,,swtf ,WW ..,,.,,,,M,.,, Wm .W votion to Christ is the essence of his life. The Sacred Heart is the force that unifies it, which orders it, and restores confidence in the dangers of a changing world. All pathways by His feet are worng His strong Heart stirs the ever-beating sea, His crown of thorns is twined with every thorn His cross is every tree. Each year the student has a three-day retreat, usually at the commencement of Holy Week. The entire time is devoted to reflection on the life that he is leading and the judgment upon it in the light of the words of Christ. The vocation that the student has in the life that is going to follow his days at St. .lames is con- sidered seriously. Father Michael Bednar has been in charge of the spiritual program at St. James, but all the members of the faculty take active interest in this vital matter. During Lent special sermons are given point- ing out the duty of Christians in the penitential season. Not the least among the religious observ- ances is the Baccalaureate Mass, filled with the solemnity of the Liturgy and breathing forth the realization that another group of St. James men is about to step into the world.

Donadieu, the band has advanced with every year until it ranks among the best in the district. The hand made its first appearance for the 1950-51 school year at the annual Ridley Twp. game, where it kept the flame of school spirit burning high. It appeared at all the following games and did more than any other group to. bolster the morale of the St. James fans. The band also participated in various local parades and contests. In one of these contests, long to be remembered, the hand members marched in the Barry Day parade with courage undaunted for fourteen blocks in the pouring rain. In the local Marcus Hook parade the band captured second prize against keen com- petition. Boltom Row: T. Creegan, E. White, J. Houston, J. Dougherty, J. Sweeney, J. Cassidy, Mr. A. Pis- cotty.

The Glee Club A marked development has been seen this year in one of the traditional St. James favorites, the Glee Club. Under the direction of Mr. Piscotty, the gleemen have intoned much melody, partaking in the minstrel, the open house, the weekly Mass, the Retreat and, of course in the Spring Musical. Practice has fre- quently been held during the lunch periods or before school in the morning. The talented fingers of Fr. Ryan have been pressed into ser- vice at the organ. Bottom Row: L. Platt, J.

This impression is not shared by the distraught members of the staff. The task seemed hopeless in September and became pro- gressively worse. The dauntless personnel of room 208 tumed their faces into the storm and overcame appalling obstacles placed in the way by the supervisor of the enterprise. The assign- ments given to us by the moderator were harsh beyond description. Only the members of the staff will ever know how many times mass resig- nation was contemplated. Yet we bore all the insults, and they were many, with great patience, and bowed our heads when the dark scowl of the infuriated figurehead, was focused on us. His very presence in the room was a hindrance to those who were trying to work. Yet, forced to submit to an enforced schedule we braced ourselves and went to it. The book finally went to press and we ex- pected the worst. Well, here it is. is is -4:22. Year Book Staff CLefl to Rightl: F. Fr. Loughrey, J. Dacey.

And,our chemistry classes-where we were gassed about twice a week, instead of every day, as in the others. If your lunch was anywhere near the chemistry lab it tasted like rotten eggs.

Assisting Fr. Eltz is a capable and willing dance committee, whose job it is to plan the dances for the enjoyment of all who attend. One of the big factors for the successful dances is the large selection of records to be found. This is a hit with the dancers and brings a large crowd on Sunday night. During the year many Socials fspecial dancesj are planed for the students. Perhaps the most popular dances planned are the Hold Clothes Dances. At these you will be found in casual clothes dancing around the floor.

Bednar teaches the fellows the interest- ing and exciting sport of the intellectuals. The Library Club under the guiding hands of Fr. V. Schneider prepares our future librarians and promotes interest in books throughout the school. The Riding Club under the able crop of Fr. Eltz teaches, those desiring to learn, the fundamentals in the manly art of horsemanship and stays with them until they become experi- cnced. The Student Council under the direction of Fr. O'Reilly directs the student bodyis move- ments throughout the school. The Vigilantes are the morale boosters, whose job it is to get the students out behind their school and to pep up the student assisting the cheerleaders. They made posters in abundance to publish the games interesting themselves also in the religious spirit of the school, the essence of St. James School Spirit. The life of St. James is richer for the fact that these organizations have lived. They have added a variety to the life of the school that has made it possible for every youthful interest to find expression. CHESS CLUB Standing: Fr. Bednar, P. Charlier. Seated: J. Witt, H.

First there is the day we received word to report to practice the first day of August, 1950. The first few weeks were rough, trying to get our muscles into condition for the game with our opening rivals, The Green Raiders of Ridley Township. Coaches Bean,' Brennan and Joe Logue worked tirelessly to mold a team from a few returning letter men. I think we shall all remember Beans standing in the lockerroom before that game. uloe and I have given you all we can,', he said, athe rest Mr. Brennan, Fr.

We went out there, fellows, with such great spirit and team play-It was Bradley through the middle for 3, Mahoney around end for 8, Fran Ferrara was chosen lineman of the week for his outstanding play. We gave HBeans and St. James its first vic- tory over Ridley Township. The familiar words of J oe Logue- Come Sunday! -were echoed many times in our ears. Practice was hard and long.

Dick Mahoney's terrific passing, Boll Ewing's masterful quar- terhaclcing, and Fran Ferrara's granite-like defense continued to hear fruit in the last quarter. But over all towered '6Jake', Don- nelly, the man who was always there. Andy Nacrelli crashed through the Ridley line and went to score the third touchdown of the game. The score: 18-0, the first triumph of St. James over Ridley gave St. James temporary possession of the Father Noll Trophy. ST. JAMES vs. ROMAN 0 - 7 The season was drawing to a close when St. James played Roman Catholic. The game was played at 29th and Clearfield Avenue in Philadelphia. The first quarter seemed as though the game would be a tie, but with less than four minutes to go the Romans went on to score. The J immies were determined not to let Roma-n through again, and they proved it by letting the first half end with a score of 7-0. The third quarter saw a pass from Hale to Ewing and then to Nacrelli, who took it to the five yard line, but despite terrific efforts, they were unable to score in this game. J ake Donnelly was chosen for his outstanding play- ing. The last quarter saw the Jimmies true to their promise, for the final heartbreaking score was 7-0. ti ST. JAMES vs. LaSALLE 16 - 20 This was one of the few home games of the season. Because of this fact, the St. James fans turned out in large numbers and with high hopes. Lew Knauer proved himself to he the most important player of the game, and as a result, he was awarded the P.T. trophy for his outstanding playing. Lew Knauer scored the first touchdown in the first quar. ter. The game was tense and exciting. At half time the score was LaSalle 7-St. James 0. With four minutes left to play,- the Ex- plorers intercepted a St. James pass, and went to score in the following play. The team played a very exceptional game and although we were not the final victors, we proved to the Explorers, that we never ldst without putting up a good fight. ST. JAMES vs. WEST CATHOLIC 0 - 13 The St. James vs. West Catholic was the classic of the St. James season. This game always holds the thrills and excitement that are true to St. James tradition. This game was played at the home stadium. The Bull- dogs invaded the West 20 yard line but were unable to score a touchdown. The first quar- ter saw the Burrs cross the St. James 40 yard line and go on to score. The second quarter gave neither team a chance to score and at the end of the first half, the score read, West Catholic 7-St. James 0. The third quarter favored neither side. Much of the credit of this game goes to Jim Wallis for his many tackles, to Dick Mahoney for his quick pass- ing and Bob Ewing for his catching. These facts stayed West during the last quarter and playing all the harder we tried to score but were ,unable-. Although West emerged as final victors, the St. James eleven won a victory of spirit and courage. ST. JAMES vs. SOUTH CATHOLIC 0 - 33 This game was played at the South Cath- olic field. The Bulldogs knew they had a terrific fight on their hands, but true to the tradition of the Jimmies, they' exerted a ter- rific effort. The game appeared to be a dark one from the beginning but the Bulldogs proved to be a hard fighting team. The score at the end of the third quarter gave evidence of the terrific defense put up by the Jimmies. During the fourth quarter the massive South linemen rallied. Having gained the ball, they carried it through our defense again and couraging, it did not dampen the Jimmies fighting spirit. again. Although the final score was very dis- 9 3rd T D Against Twp ST. JAMES vs. ST. .l0E'S 0 - 32 The next league encounter was with St. Joseph at 54th and City ,Line., Philadelphia. During the first quarter neither team came closer to scoring than the 25 yard line. Never- theless the spirit ran high among the loyal fans of St. James. In the second quarter St. James fought down to the St. .loels 17 yard line. A little later with more success they reached the 7 yard line. The third. quarter, which was a dark one for the Jimmies, showed St. Joseph's leading. This d'idn't discourage the Bulldogs. During the last quarter, despite combined efforts of a hard-playing team, the Hawks scored four touchdowns in the last period. St. James was not the victor, tliey a priceless moral victory. Mahoney Stopped in the St Joe s Came ST. THOMAS vs. ST. JAMES 0 - 26 The St. Thomas game was of extra note, in that we broke our losing streak during it, much to the dismay of the many fans who could not see the. victory. Dick Mahoney scored two touchdowns and was successful in kicking the two extra points. An unfortunate fumble gave the Tommies a play, hut it was recovered by Ferrara in the following one. Flood came up to score with 'terrific blocking by Mahoney. A fumbled kick was recovered by the Jimmies on St. Thomas' 34 yard line. A pass from Dick Mahoney to Flood gave us a first down, and then a pass from Dick Mahoney to Boh' Ewing resulted in another T,D. D. Mahoney passed to Bradley and he kicked the extra point. In the middle of the fourth period the valiant Bulldogs scored an amazing 73 yards in four plays. Andy Nacrelli raced 62 yards and scored. The final score was a real booster to St. James spirit for it read: St. James 26- St. Thomas 0. Arrington Flood . ... .LW.. - Magfwif ws- ' ley Off for a Long Cam Against Nort ST. JAMES vs. NORTH CATHOLIC 6 - 32 We were all pepped up to meet the Fal- cons of North Catholic. North being well experienced and having a line that easily out- weighed St. James, were well prepared to keep their title, against an aggressive St. James. Despite their massive lines, the Bulldogs forced North to pass, instead of crashing through the under dogs line. The Falcons having already scored, never worried the Jimmies. The second half opened with the spirits of the team confident, when a spectacular run of 99 yards by Dick Mahoney gave to St. James a well earned touch-down. Despite the final score 32-6 the Jimmies showed they endangered the overpowering North Catholic more than once and played the game with skill, sportsmanship and spirit.

The second quarter, despite determined efforts, the op- ponents scored. The second half gave a dis- play of expert running by Dick Mahoney and Bradley, and terrific catching by Bob Ewing and Andy Nacrelli. The third quarter showed thc score to be 13-13. The last period held all the thrills of the St. James tradition, but despite unequaled skill on the part of St. James, the Bulldogs had to resign themselves to a final score of 13-13. 5 . ,Q 3 ' 42 .n eq c ....

The St. James 1950-51 basketball team, a young combination having only two seniors, was a threat to every competitor. With the fine coaching of J ack Ramsay, former St. Joseph College great, the Bulldogs fought for and gained the respect of the Catholic League. The season opened rudely with defeats to St. Joseph College Freshmen and to St. Robertis C.C., but the aroused ,limmies notched victories over P.M.C. Prep, St. Matthews, Archmere, and Malvern Prep. Despite the amazing set shot of Bob Kefalas the Bulldogs lost the city title to a fine Chester team. The next nine games found the .limmies eating the bread of bitterness but these defeats gave the young and upcoming team the experience they needed. Getting a breath they trimmed St. Joseph Prep but then lost to North, South, La Salle, and Roman Catholic. Outstanding performances by Nacrelli and Lynch gave the hustling Bulldogs a victory over Collingdale. West proved too strong, but the Hnal joust of the season was a brilliant victory over the City Champs, St. Thomas More. Bill Lynch, a junior, was selected on the second All-Catholic team and Andy Nacrelli received honorable mention. Throughout the season the team showed class in its plays and in its ball handling.

The St. James Varsity Bowling Squad elected Paul Walker as captain and Joe Fagan, Francis Chiponis, Richard Fayko, Tom Vail and George Katein rounded out the team. During the sea- son they bowled each team a total of eight times. Against North and South Catholic they won two and lost six to both teams. They broke even with West at four each. La Salle offered little opposition as Saint James took seven out of X, xx eight. With Roman the score was reversedg they took seven. Saint Thomas More was the victim of a clean sweep of the eight games. This gave St. James a league total of sixteen victories and twenty-four defeats. South took first place followed by Northg Roman was third, St. James fourth, West fifth, La Salle sixth and St. Thomas last. Richard Fayko led the team in total pinsg he was followed by Captain Paul Walker. Fayko also led the team in a high three game with a total of 648 pins. Having the highest single game of 258, Fayko was followed by Chiponis with 205. In the Bulletin tournament St. James finished sixth.
