Its staff of twenty cadets has worked hard to give the members of the corps complete coverage of the news of the school, plus all possible items ot interest con- cerning the alumni. Unlike many school publications, the Cadet Review does not suspend publication during the busy weeks of semester examinations and Government Inspection. Every Wednesday night from September until june, with the ex- ception of the Wednesdays immediately fol- lowing the Christmas and spring vacations, the paper is distributed to the corps after evening mess. This means thirty-four issues a year, in- cluding the eight-page issue published after Commencement. The first objective of the Cadet Review staff is to present a complete picture of the events which concern the corps as a whole. Advance stories are published, and a resume of each event appears the week after it takes place. Thus the cadets who keep each issue of the paper have a full history of the school year. The next objective of the staff is to keep the graduates of St. lohn's in touch with the acade- my and with each other. The third thing which the Cadet Review tries to accomplish is to give the parents as much information about the school as possible, keeping in mind the fact that many of these parents have never visited St. lohn's and that for this group it is necessary to explain events in detail. Work on the staff of the paper frequently means that cadets must voluntarily give up some of their free time, as no provision for this work can be made in the daily schedule. The only reward these men receive for their etforts is the C.R. emblem which is presented at Commencement to those who have done regu- lar and satisfactory work throughout the year. The members ot the staff during the past year have done their best to please a large and varied circle of readers. They have done this work because they were interested in it and enjoyed it, and they feel that their efforts have been successful. Preps Last September, Commencement seemed a long way off, now it is history. The year Whizzed by very rapidly, perhaps it was due to the fact that military life was new to us, and we were kept busy doing school work, drilling, or participating in some form of re- creation. All in all, we have had a good year. The year started with the Preps organ- izing their own club with the following officers: Williams, R. W., President, Bates, L. F., Vice President, Moore, W. B., Secretary, and Hughes, T., as Treasurer. The other members included the following: Boyle, R. D., Campbell, T. A., Cardio, F. C.: Cohen, S. l., Freed, D. M., Holleb, B., l-luestis, T. S., Kiser, M. I., Mastous, I., Kelepouris, G. G., Piper, W. H., Resnick, H., Robinson, I., Stingily, K. O., Tanney, G., Wittenberg, R. C. Horndorf, R. Fl., joined the class in February. Besides the regular weekly meetings, sev- eral social activities were sponsored by the Preps including a Christmas party held in the Academy Canteen, a picnic held in the spring and several small get-togethers held in the classroom. After Christmas, Captain Luck joined the Faculty to help Captain Dahl in his teaching duties. When Captain Luck was transferred to the upper school Lt. Greim joined the Facul- ty of the Lower School. Due to the fire which destroyed the Acad- emy Gymnasium on May 9, the commence- ment exercises were held in the large tent erected on the Campus on the night of Thurs- day, lune l3. The salutatory address was given by Cadet Bates, L. F., which was followed by the valedictory given by Cadet Williams, R. W. Moore, W. B., made the class gift presentation speech, which was a combi- nation radio and victrola, to be used in the Preparatory Class Rooms. After the accept- ance speech by General Farrand, Major H. H. Holt, Dean of the Academy conferred the diplomas on members of the graduating class. Class of 1949 fi!! G-A R. A. Amundsen I. R. Best E. R. Burr C. O. Dickelman E. B. Floback S. Angelopulos H. A.

Valencia 45 Dads' Day Welcome Mr. President, General Farrand, Dads, land Mothers too,l Fellow cadets: Every year about this time, it becomes the privilege of the Corps of Cadets to welcome to the Academy those gentlemen who are making our stay at St. lohn's possible, our dads. And every year, as we see our dads join in the activities of the school, meeting other fathers, and generally getting, for a short time at least, into the swing of things, we realize just how much our dads and the organization they have formed mean to us. Ever since its founding the Dads' Club of St. lohn's has backed up the Corps to the limit in every way possible, adding materially to the equipment and the recreational facilities of the Academy. ln the past few years the Dads' Club has presented a new grand piano to the school, an ice-shaver for our hockey and skating rink, new pool tables for the Canteen, speakers for the Canteen and Cadet Store, and countless other gifts which have added to our pleasure and convenience, But on this Dad's Day, l945, we, the members of the Corps think of another, and in MR. NORMAN P. NORLIE President of Dads' Club l 945 -l 946 our minds, even greater accomplishment of the Dads' Club. Eor this organization has brought us closer to our dads, closer to you, and in turn has brought you closer to our school. It has helped you, as our dads, to know St. lohn's as we know it, to enter in spirit into the Corps through the mediums of your sons. And it has in many cases helped to develop that close comaraderie between dads and sons which will be so well remem- bered in years to come. We know well, too, that the Dads' Club is not active on this one day alone. We know that throughout the year meetings are going on in Chicago, and that all year around we have the support and backing of the Dads' Club in any major activity the Corps may undertake. All of this makes us very grateful to you, grateful for the many little things which you are doing for us. We are glad to see so many of you here tonight, and we want to remind you that Dads' Day and Mothers' Day are not the only occa- sions on which parents are welcomed to the Academy. Every weekend throughout the year, the Corps invites you to visit the academy, and invites you to take part in all of its special functions. Dads' Day is only the first in a long series of functions and activities of the Corps throughout the year. lt is the first of those activities by which families and cadets may get together here at the Academy, to bind the St. Iohn's family into a firm and lasting group. So it seems to me that we owe you, our dads, a great and very special kind of debt, which we can only repay by attempting in some small way to uphold the faith which you have placed in us, and by doing our best to make something out of the years which we will spend at St. lohn's. We all agree that this Dads' Day has been a great success. We've shown you lor tried to show youl a St. john's team in action and victory, backed by every man in the Corp-s. We have welcomed you and hoped that you have enjoyed your stay, and now as we are soon to say goodbye every member of the Corps hopes that you will join us again in the many other campus activities which will take place throughout the coming year. Thank you. Dads' Day Saturday, October 27th, was the big day of the year for the dads of St. lohn's. On this occasion they were the guests of their sons at the Academy's ninth annual Dad's Day. The program started with registration for the fathers of the cadets. Each father, as he registered at the desk in the main corridor of Delioven l-fall received a small badge with his name and the words, St lohn's Dad on it. Registration began at ten-thirty that morning and lasted until six o'clock that night. The two hundred mark for fathers was reached and in addition to this there were several former St. lohn's patrons, some Old Boys and other guests present, Every company showed its appreciation to the dads by hanging many different types of Welcome signs from the windows of their barracks. They also policed the outside of the barracks and kept the inside immacul- lategjust to show their dads. A brunch was served at the Red Circle lnn at Nashotah and was attended by the dads. At two o'clock the cadets were marched to the football field. There the companies were massed in front of the north bleachers while the band played the national anthem. After this the cadets joined their parents to cheer St. lohn's on to a l4-2 victory over Lake Forest Academy. This was a hard- fought game for both teams. After the game the Dad's Club held its annual meeting and election of officers. Mr. Norman P. Norlie was elected as new presi- dent of the club. The meeting was followed at six-thirty by a buffet supper for the dads in the gymnasium. After the supper a smoker was held which was also attended by the faculty. Formation for the evening's program was at eight-thirty that evening and the cadets marched to the gymnasium where they joined their fathers. The program did not end until midnight. Cn Sunday morning a special chapel service was held for the cadets and their dads and the time was changed to nine-forty- five. At this time Cadet Lt. Guster spoke. Permits to go out to dinner with their parents were granted to cadets after chapel. These did not expire until five o'clock. Eve- ning chapel was shortened and formation was at five-thirty. By this time almost all of the dads had left and another traditional week-end was over. St. lohn's was lucky to have perfect weather for both days. Midget Football The Academy Midgets, smallest of the four regular football teams, fought well for their undefeated season winning all five games played. This is an exceptionally re- markable record for these mighty Midgets who are handicapped in experience and team- work most always at the beginning of the season. However, under the able coaching of Captain Reardon, the Midgets have al- ways come out on top. The Mighty Midgets had one of the finest records of any football squad. On October 5th, the Midgets opened their season by defeating the St. lerome's Parochial School, 33 to O. Cadets Blondis, Coffaro, Bench, Kramer and Burr all made touchdowns. The second game was played with the Racine Commandos, and once again the Midgets were victorious with a score of 6 to U. The game proved very exciting. Cadet Winsor blocked a kick very close to the goal line. The ball rolled behind the Commandos' goal line and at that instant ,, an Blondis fell on it giving the necessary points for victory. On October l7th the Midgets went to Waukesha to play St. loseph's Catholic Church team. Overpowered with height and weight the Midgets defeated St. loseph with mag- nificent team work, 26 to l4, breaking St. loseph's 2l game winning streak. The fourth game was played with the Lincoln School at Oconomowoc. Once more the Midgets won 5 to U. The last game, on November l9th, the Midgets were scheduled to play the Cushing School of Delafield. However the team was too small in size and number. They remedied this by gathering some graduates of the Cush- ing School. This did not stop our faithful Midgets for they won the game 20 to 6. Cadet Blondis made two touchdowns and Cadet R. Kramer the other. We should all be proud of these fine young football players. The Midgets, too, repre- sent St. Iohn's and it is from them that the future varsity players are developed. lunior Football The St. Iohn's luniors, under the excellent coaching of Lt. F. I. Wigginton and with the assistance of 'iWhitie Stangeland, can look back on their l945 season with satisfaction, although they split even on wins and losses. Out of the six games played they won three and lost three. Two of their losses, however, were by a margin of only one point each. ln all fairness it should be said that the luniors had some bad luck this year in losing some of the members of their squad and were also handicapped by injuries. The first game was against Oconomowoc High and with the decided advantage of both height and weight they were able to defeat us l3 to l2. The game against Watertown how- ever resulted in a victory for St. Iohn's to the tune of l4 to l2. The next game was again with Oconornowoc but we were still unable to defeat them, our score being 7 to O. A hard fought game against St. Francis High School of Milwaukee resulted in a victory for the cadets with a score of 21 to l4. The only bad spot on the lunior record was the return game against Watertown. Gvercon- fidence played its part plus the absence of one of our lunior backs. Although we had defeated this team once, their determination resulted in the sad score of 31 to 6 in favor of the visitors. The last game of the season was a return engagement with the St. Francis high school freshmen and proved to be a vic- tory of 25 to 2 for the luniors. l. Prince deserves special mention for his excellent blocking and running technique. l-le no doubt will be a star player for the Acade- my Heavyweights next year, along with sev- eral other players selected. May we wish them all the luck in the world for an outstanding l946 season. Lightweight Football The brilliant coaching of Lt. Oldani and the hard work of the Lightweight team had resulted in the Lightweight Conference Cham- pionship. This year the Lights played five games of which three were lost, but the two they did win were in the Conference League: Lake Forest and Morgan Park. The team had worked hard this fall and deserved all the credit that was given to them. Lt. Oldani selected eleven players out of an eager group of twenty-five. They were as follows: Brannon, W. lohnson, Maynard, R. McDowell, Naven, Passmore, Prince, Rich- ards, Schilleman, Warren and Wittbold. The substitutes were Annes, Amon, Fabian, Kinz- ler, Hartman, Hines, MacArthur, Meckel, New- house, Robertson, Schmock and Ward. With this fighting group the ball club was success- ful in executing all their plans and showed great enthusiasm and ambition towards prac- tice and the games. The Lights opened the season with a loss to lefferson High, 32 to O. They also lost their second game to Lake Mills, 41 to l4, and the third game to Northwestern Preps. These losses were small and the Cadets gained valuable experience from them. The fourth game brought the team to Lake Forest, lllinois. Here the cadets earned a victory of l3 to O. Prince, Naven and Richards starred in the backfield by making eleven first downs in one quarter. The touchdowns were made by Prince and Newhouse with the help of a powerful and active line. The last game for the Lights was played on November lOth at St. lohn's with Morgan Park Military Academy. The team played an exciting game for their school rang up two touchdowns in the first half. The backfield was always in action and in the final second the gun finished the game and the season with a score of 26 to U in favor of St. lohn's. With this victory the cadets carried their coach, Lt. Oldani, across to the Heavyweight field sing- ing For He's a lollY Good Fellow, and the team meant it. -.-v .-,, Academy Football St St St St St St St Iohrfs Military Iohri s Military Iohrfs Military Iohrfs Military Iohn's Military Iohn's Military Iohn's Military Academy Academy Academy Academy Academy Academy Academy Loras Academy, Dubuque, Iowa Pullman Tech High School - - Marmiori Academy - - - Lake Forest Academy - Culver Military Academy - - Morgan Park Military Academy Kelvyri Park High School - - - Academy Football The Academy Heavyweights came through their football season this year undefeated and with a record of five victories and two ties in their seven games. Three of the seven games played were within the Midwest Prep conference and of these St. Iohn's won one and tied two. The cadets opened their season this year on Saturday, October 6th, against Loras Acad- emy of Dubuque, lowa, whom they defeated by a one-point margin. The final score was 19 to 18. Kuni scored the first touchdown of the 1945 season in the first quarter, but the attempted conversion was not good. ln the second period Loras tied things up with a touchdown and also failed to convert. Tom Shaughnessey also made a touchdown in the second quarter to put St. 1ohn's ahead, 12 to 6, and in the third period, Loras tied the score again when they crossed the goal line but failed to make the extra point. The visitors then went out in front in the same period wtith another toudhdown and led, 18 to 12. ln the fourth quarter Krcilek scored for St. Iohn's and Douglas McDowell place kicked the winning point, giving St. Iohn's the game 19 to 18. On October 13th the Heavyweights played their first game away from home. They went to Chicago where they played a 13-13 tie with Pullman Tech. High School, a member of the Midwest Prep conference. Pullman Tech. scored first, in the first quarter, but failed to make the extra point. On the kickoff following the touchdown, Krcilek of St. lohn's took the ball and made a spectacular ninety- yard run to tie the score. McDowell converted, and the cadets led 7 to 6. The second period was scoreless, but in the third the high school scored again and converted, which put them out in front, 13 to 7. Kuni made St. Iohn's second touchdown in the final quarter, on a fifty yard run. McDowell's kick was blocked CAPTAIN ALLEN E. SMITH Head Coach and the cadets had to be satisfied with a tie score. The only night game of the year was played the following Friday, October 19th, against Marmion Academy at Aurora, lllinois. This ended in a 12-O victory for St. lohn's. Touchdowns were scored in the second and fourth periods. Kuni made the first one in the second period and took a pass from Cullen to score the second touchdown. On October 27th, which was Dad's Day, St. Iohn's defeated Lake Forest Academy by a score of 14 to 2. Ken Schwartz made the first touchdown of the game in the Secgnd period and McDowell converted. The second one was made by Krcilek in the third period, and again McDowell converted. The two points scored by Lake Forest occurrgd when CAPTAIN HOWARD MCMAHON Coach Cullen dropped back to punt, deep in his own territory, and stepped over the goal line for an automatic safety. The most important game of the season, from the Heavyweights' standpoint, was played against Culver Military Academy on November 3rd at Culver, lndiana. This was the second tie of the season. The final score was 20-20. Culver scored early in the first period, but failed to convert. ln the second quarter Krcilek crossed the goal line for St. lohn's, and McDowell place kicked the extra point to put St. Iohn's in the lead 7 to 6. Kuni also scored in the second period, and again McDowell converted, making the score 14 to 6 in favor of St. lohn's. Culver then made seven points in the third quarter and another seven in the fourth, making the score 20 to l4 in favor of Culver. ln the fourth period Krcilek scored again for St. Iohn's, tying the score. McDowell's kick was blocked making the final count 2U-20. The following Saturday, November lUth, St. lohn's defeated Morgan Park Military Academy, 27 to l3, in a game played at St. lohn's. The first touchdown was made in the first two minutes, when the ball rolled over the goal line and Bender, St. Iohn's right guard, fell on it to score six points. McDowell's kick was good. Morgan Park then took the ball on the kickoff and in a few plays marched to a touchdown and converted, making the score 7-7 with only five minutes of the game gone. Kuni made St. Iohn's second touch- down in the third quarter and McDowell's kick was blocked. Later in the same period Kuni scored again to push the total to l9-7 in favor of St. lohn's. Cn the try for the point Morgan Park was offside and on the second try Krcilek carried the ball over for the extra point. ln the last quarter Morgan Park scored another touchdown but failed to convert. Kuni made his third touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter and McDowell place kicked the extra point which brought the final score to 27 to l3. ln the last game of the season, the cadets defeated Kelvyn Park High School of Chica- go, l3 to O. This game was played at St. lohn's on November l7th. The cadets scored their first touchdown when Cullen passed to Rosten in the second period. McDowell's kick was blocked. ln the third quarter Schwartz took the ball over for the second touchdown and this time McDowell converted. Thus ended a 1945-46 football year which will long be remembered by St. Iohn's. Ex- cellent coaching and excellent playing led to the ultimate success which placed St. Iohn's first in the Midwest Prep Conference. Cheer Leaders To any athletic team, the support it re- ceives from the sidelines proves many times to be one of the chief factors in producing vic- tory for that team. Leading the cheering is a iob that should not go without praise. The cheerleaders were the ones who kept that spirit moving throughout the game. Whether St. lohn's was winning or losing, these boys always tried to keep our school morale at a high pitch. The job of head cheerleader and director fell into the capable hands of Pete Vaselopu- los, one who had given four years' service to the school. He was ably assisted by Tommie Thomas and Iames Meckel, both two year veterans. New cheerleaders included Lever- enz and Fabian who really showed they had the real spirit of St. lohn's in them. St. lohn's has always been proud of its athletic teams and it should be similarly proud of its cheerleaders. lf the team had to go on to the field in rain or cold or any type of inclement weather, so did the cheerleaders. These boys were a part of the team even though they weren't wearing the St. lohn's uniform, they were in there fighting . . . fighting as hard as any member on the team. As a reward for their effort, the cheer- leaders were presented with a minor S letter. There is no choosing of cheerleaders as there is in some schools. If a boy feels he can make the grade, he asks the head cheer- leader if he may have a tryout. lf he proves satisfactory and appears capable of the job, he is chosen. Therefore you have only those in there leading the cheers who are really enthusiastic. So here's hats off to the cheerleaders who did such a good job. lt is our hope that the spirit they have aroused will carry on through- out the coming years and lead more St. lohn's teams to victory. Thanksgiving Day The l945 Thanksgiving was one of the coldest that St. lohn's has seen in a number of years. When the corps went to reveille Thursday morning, November 22nd, the ground was covered with snow and a cold wind was blowing. Formation was at seven o'clock and the corps marched directly to chapel, where the Holy Communion was celebrated. Morning mess was at eight o'clock and after that the corps returned to the barracks to put their rooms in order. The Heavyweight Kemper-Delioven football game was sched- uled for ten o'clock and shortly before that it was announced over the speaker that at- tendance at the game would be voluntary, because of the cold weather. In spite of the bitter wind, a large number of Kempers and Deliovens turned out to watch the Kempers bow down to defeat on a snow covered field. After the game everyone returned to the bar- racks to thaw out. Formation for noon mess was at twelve- thirty. After the first course had been eaten, silence spread over the mess hall as the cadets waited for the most important part of the dinner, the Thanksgiving turkeys. As the cadet waiters marched through the doors, each carrying a large, golden brown turkey, a cheer went up from the hungry corps. The table heads literally rose to the occasion and both the experienced carvers and the amateurs finally succeeded in getting the turkeys carved and the plates served. Every- one ate until he couldn't any more, but finally everyone was satisfied and the corps was dismissed from the mess hall. The scheduled parade and review was cancelled because of the extreme cold and the cadets spent the afternoon as they pleased. Those who had parents and other guests here were permitted to go out with them. Thanksgiving boxes were distributed late in the afternoon and few people went to eve- ning mess, which was voluntary. At eight o'clock the annual Thanksgiving hop began. Because of the cold weather and the bad roads, a number of cadets were dis- appointed in their dates as the girls were unable to come. However, an enjoyable eve- ning was had by all and though the day was bleak our hearts were sunny. Flying Clubs The Flying Club is larger this year than it has ever been since the Club was first organized. Our president was Cadet Lieuten- ant Ralph Greener who did a fine job of organizing and managing the club. The course taken by the cadets is gov- ernment approved and is similar to the one given to the Army Flight Cadets. Sixteen of the club members soloed while the others had a few more hours to go until they were full-fledged hot pilots . Some of us had built up enough hours and experience to be able to check out in some military aircraft such as the PT-l9A and the PT-l7. A few of the cadets qualified for their ratings as private pilots, they were lmbrie, Cfreener and Phillips, PM. We flew from Waukesha County Airport under the supervision of Dale Curtis who is one of the most able flight instructors. Every Wednesday and Saturday after- noon and on holidays we would pile into one of the Brown Bombers and go off for another glorious time in the air. l believe everyone of us found more enjoyment in fly- ing than in anything else we attempted. The members of the club this year were Oetting, Hartley, Hawn, Greener, Marco, Huis- man, Camargo, Bench, T. R., Phillips, P. M., Colson, lmbrie, Schwartz, P., Baldwin, Rich- ards, Laystrom, Sutherland, Borisch, Hoff, Widerman, Atkinson and Probst. Old Boys' Sons We all indulge in a little pleasant reverie and there is always sometime when we look back on those good old Academy days . . . Oh, to relive them again. lt's an impossibil- ity, it's true, but there are those who in a sense can recapture those most wonderful days more realistically than others. lt is through their sons . . . their boys who now attend St. lohn's . . . the same school their fathers attended. The pleasure it affords the both of them is beyond words. The com- petitive spirit that is within the boy comes into play more noticeably because he is now competing with the record his father had here at St. Iohn's. Their scholastic achievements, their hours on the guard path, the Special Orders re- ceived and many seemingly unimportant little things furnish much conversation be- tween father and son. lt is in this way that the father awakens those memories so much more accurately and in a way relives those old precious days, Because the father can give the son his knowledge and advice the boy is able to, in most cases, surpass his '. sw, ,js father's record. And you can bet that the father is glad for in a sense it is through his little man to man talks that his son makes more of a success of his days at St. Iohn's. lt's really one time when father's mistakes pay off. As for the club, it is a club in name only, there are no regular meetings. The boys meet only when it is necessary to have their pictures taken, however the associations gained among these boys is much more in- timate than most because of the fact that their fathers may have been buddies. For the first time in the school history we have a member of the third generation at- tending school here. Little Charles Knicker- bocker is here going through the same paces his grandfather and father went through. lt's understandable that he can afford to be sure of himself . . . the advice he must be getting! ln future years we may have more third generations and fourth generations at- tending St. lohn's. Who knows? Let us just hope so. . . ..--i....l---.u Acolytes The Guild of Acolytes during the school year of 1945-46 did its usual good job. The Acolytes were headed this year by Cadet Lt. Guster who was serving his fourth year on the Guild. There were 23 members during the year, some of which were added near the end of the year from the Spring Confirmation Class. Seven members of the organization graduated this year. The Crucifix was carried by Lt. Guster. The Stars and Stripes and the Church banner were borne by Cadets lVlcDevitt and Small. The group made a fine contribution to the equipment of the Chapel in the gift of two hymn-boards, enabling the placing of one board in the Chancel where it has long been needed, and another on one of the pillars midway of the chapel. One board was the personal gift of Guster and McDevitt, the other by contributions of all the other acolytes. Sets of cards, showing the events of the Church year, accompanied the boards. It cannot be sufficiently emphasized what a splendid work the young men on the Aco- lytes' Guild really do. They serve without other reward than the consciousness of doing a job which needs to be done, and also the carrying out of the promises they made at their Confirmation of working for the King- dom of God. lt is not easy to get up in time to start the service at the time Reveille blows, especially on cold winter mornings. The Chaplain appreciates fully the willingness of so many Cadets to do so. No compulsion is used to recruit acolytes, yet it is most grati- fying that so many cadets volunteer for this duty. More often than not there are more volunteers than places to be filled. While membership in the Guild of Aco- lytes requires no qualifications of rank or scholarship, there is no position of greater intrinsic honor in the school than to be con- sidered worthy to serve the Chaplain at God'S holy altar. Choir Much of the spiritual beauty which was present in our chapel during services was due to the fine singing of the school choir. Be- cause of the ninety blended voices raising their hearts in song the church hymns were given their true vocal interpretation. Under the able leadership of Captain Williams and Father Gruber, boys who knew little more than nothing about music, because of their dili- gence and love of music, added much to the glory of our choir. Special mention is due two of our boys, lames lvleckel and Tom Sinclair, for the fine solo work they did on special occasions . . . Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving. May we thank you for the privilege of hearing you both. Each year at Commencement time, medals are awarded to those cadets who have given unstintingly of their time and effort. A bronze medal for those who have given two years of service, a silver medal for three years' service and a gold medal to those who have given four years of service. ln addition each mem- ber of the choir receives five merits a week for the services he has rendered. Yet this seems superfluous as it is apparent that each boy is present only because he wants to be there. No other compensation is required when there is enjoyment in the doing. No, too much praise cannot be given this year's choir. Their fine work has far surpassed the praise that may be extended. CADET PRlVATE VAL BRESSANT Best Set Up New Cadet Christmas Set-up ln a military organization such as St. lohn's, emphasis is placed on personal ap- pearance and good posture. The military statt realized this and decided to award a medal to the cadet who complies with these high standards. Now every year at the Breaking-up Ban- quet medals are awarded to one old and new cadet who has presented the best per- sonal appearance during the tall term. This event is not just a competition that lasts lout a short timep it is one in which each cadet is under caretul observation from day to day . . . trom the time they enter school until the Corps leaves tor their Christmas vacation. To receive such an honor one rnust he on his toes every minute ot the time. As soon i l CASEY CAPTAIN LINZT, IR. Best Set Up Old Cadet as there is any element ct untidiness in his appearance he is immediately eliminated. This year in the new cadet competition the medal was awarded to Cadet Val Bressani ot D Company. Second place went to Cadet I. Bench ot F Company and the third place was won by Cadet l. Bosch ot C Company. ln the old-looy set-up tirst place was award- ed to Captain l. Lindt ot Company Cadet I. W. Curtis ot HD Company was awarded second place while Cadet G. l-lawn ot Corn- pany D came in third. ln addition to the wellsdeseryed personal satisfaction gained trorn receiving these med- als, points are awarded to each placing corn- pany towards the Etiiciency Cup. Three points are given tor every first place awarded, two tor second and third place awards. ----,-- -.-.----- 1. ----V-- nvK:?

The Foresters after careful selection and prepa- ration developed into an organization that merited worthy praise. The festal occasion and the colorful setting along with the medie- val costuming of the members of the Proces- sion made the celebration one long to be remembered. The Foresters entered singing their traditional Latin air with both zest and harmony, creating an atmosphere of majestic good cheer. At the close of the Banquet the entire Club of twenty-four members in white surplices and lighted tapers presented an unforgettable scene, with the low colored lights and after a few fitting remarks by General Farrand who spoke of the many like celebrations when the stirring rendition of the M.'s favorite Carol, Silent Night was presented at other Breaking- Up Banquets. The Mid-Winter festivities again found the Crlee Club prepared to give a few selections before the Corps. 11 Stout Hearted Men by Romberg The Border Ballad by Maunder The Sleigh by Kountz Stout Hearted Men the favorite of the Club was given in its usual boisterous man- nerg while The Border Ballad described the struggle between the clans over their border arguments and finally The Sleigh, music in the Bussian mood added a certain musical spice to the program. The work of the Glee Club and the co- operation shown by the members is to be praised. These cadets who give of their free time receive no other reward for their services other than their own pleasure and enjoyment in working together and accomplishing beau- tiful harmony rendered on the eve of Christ- mas vacation. l wish to take this means of expressing my appreciation as Director of the Club for the co-operation and happiness af- forded me by all the members. The fourteen Foresters are as follows: Cadets Atkinson, Bender, Bendiner, Fowler, Kriz, Leon, LipseY, Morrison, Mayer, D. L., Pattee, Powell, Schaefer, Sinclair, Von Berner. The remaining members are as follows: Cadets Babcock, Best, Cruttenden, Delieyser, Giessler, Hilfer, Kinzler, Beinberger, Towell, Wood, 11 Breaking-up Banquet On December 18, 1945, the corps of cadets gathered in the beautifully decorated Acad- emy dining room for the annual Breaking-Up Banquet which is always held on the eve before our Christmas vacation. After General Farrand's brief explanation of the Boar's Head ceremony a flourish of trumpets was heard from outside and the medieval procession entered. First came the two heralds of the castle, carrying golden trumpets, followed by the standard bearer clad in chain mail and carry- ing the flag of the corps. Six little pages of the castle followed and then the chorus of foresters, clad in Lincoln green like that worn by Robin Hood and his merry men of Sher- wood Forest. The castle minstrel in his long black gown followed the foresters and behind him came the four monks carrying to His Majesty the Boar's head aloft on a wooden trencher. Two little scullions marched behind the Boar's Head and behind them came the castle cook. The last group of characters in the procession was a guard of four men-at- arms. As the minstrel sang the verses of the Boar's Head carol, which is the first known carol to be printed in English and dates back to 1521, and the foresters sang the Latin chorus, the procession slowly circled the hall and returned to the high table, where the monks set the trencher down before General Farrand in his capacity as Master of the Feast. When it was time for the dessert to be served, another smaller procession was formed, consisting of the heralds, the stand- ard bearer, the pages, the cook and the scullions. This procession escorted the blaz- ing plum pudding until it was presented at the high table. When the dessert plates had been cleared away, the General announced that we all join in a little community sing. After this the athletic awards were made to the outstanding players on all the athletic teams. Lt. Lerch also presented the All-Con- ference medals to the three men who were chosen members of the All-Conference foot- ball team. General Farrand later followed by intro- ducing the various distinguished guests who were present. The last one to be introduced was Vice-Admiral Aubrey Wray Fitch, Class of 1901, the speaker of the evening, who then addressed the corps and guests. A special memorial service then took place in memory of the fifty-four St. lohn's men who gave their lives for their country in World War 11. This was closed by the singing of the Salute WINTEIQ 2 3 9 IO I I6 I7 I8 I9 950 'Zz 25 26 27 3 X Q16 7,5415 I 6-7 I3 4 '22 W..

Although handicapped, since the Govern- ment lnspection came earlier than usual this year, the Military Staff was still able to get the Corps into shape so that the cadets made their customary good showing. From the fall of l945 to the spring of l946, the members of the Military Staff were kept busy instructing the Corps of Cadets. General Parrand was often seen observ- ing the close and extended order drills held throughout the year. Lt. Colonel Smythe, the Commandant of Cadets, and Major Anderson, the P. M. S. ci T., were always on the scene at drill period time. Col. Smythe had charge of the machine gun instructions for the sec- ond year military classes. They will probably never forget low position mount. Major Anderson's classes consisted mainly of the fourth year military science classes which were Military Law, Combat Training and methods of instruction. The third year military classes received most of their in- structions from Major Qstermann, the Assistant P. M. S. CS T. l-le kept them busy at practical and theoretical classes. Major l-legner taught all map reading and Aerial Photograph Read- ing classes for the second and fourth year classes. The new cadets will undoubtedly remem- ber Lt. Lerch's early morning P. T. drills. He also taught several other classes during the year. The remainder of the theory classes were taught by Captains Rafoth, Gignilliat, Kuecherer and Lt. Wigginton. That the efforts of these gentlemen were not in vain was proved by the appearance of the Corps of Cadets at Sunday paradesp by the precision of the close order drill, by the field problems held in the spring and last but not least by the telegram from the Adjutant Gen- eral informing St. john's it had once more been selected as an Honor Military School. The Corps of Cadets owes a lot to these men for what they have done to make the whole consist of more perfect integral parts- Cadet Officers Somehow the dream of every new boy who enters St. lohn's consists mainly of the hope of eventually attaining that seemingly en- viable position of cadet officer. Aspiration runs high for the privileges extended to these officers seem highly attractive. Those night lights, that hour after taps and the use of the Officers' Club all seem to contribute tempting factors to this aspiration. Little does a cadet realize the responsi- bility which accompanies such an appoint- ment . . . with responsibility comes those headaches, lt isn't easy to disregard friend- ship when the line of duty comes into play . . . when discipline is necessary. That per- haps is the most disturbing element. Then all scholastic grades must be kept at a suffi- ciently high levely his appearance must be beyond criticism and he must conduct himself as a gentleman at all times. He must be fair, honest, loyal and tactful in his dealing with his men as well as the other men in the Corps. This year the school was fortunate in hav- ing an excellent group of officers. A Com- pany was under the command of Captain Danny Hosten with the able assistance of Lt. Baldock. Captain Harry Fink of B Com- pany talso Senior Captain of the Classl with Lts. Cfuster and McDevitt assisting. Captain lohn Hedberg of C Company was ably aided by Lts. Pete Schwaba and Mcliinlay. D Company was commanded by lim Norlie along with the help of Lts. Hawn and Smith. Company E was the charge of lohnny Lindt with Lts. Greener and Laystrom standing by. F Company looked to Captain Hank Hines who received the full cooperation of Lts. Albert and Noble while Cf Company was commanded by Pete Vaselopulos with Lts. Grosenick and Thomas assisting. Cap- tain Lawson, Lts. Sachs and Balsley were in charge of the Staff. So you can see, if you knew these fellows, why we say we were fortunate, We just were .... that's all.

What would the football team have done without the sturdy line- backing of Bender, the loose-limbed grace of Palmer, and the pass-catching ability of Rosten?

On the cinders and jumping pits of the track team, many more men from A meet the eye.

Kirkpatrick was an excellent Weight man, While Adams also participated in the sprints. Kuni once more ran the quarter mile. Here once again the versatile Rosten starred, being the best shot put heaver in the confer- ence. It must not be thought that A's failure to cover itself with drilling glory was due to a lack of spirit. Under Captain Rosten and Lieutenant Baldock, the men of A fought long and hard for every honor, nor were they ever discouraged. Before every parade one could hear the murmur run through the ranks, Come on, gang, let's Win the lines today. Pitiful looks of despondency covered the men's faces when the parade was over and they had lost. Indeed, the only time of the week that a visitor to A would not see cheerful, smiling faces everywhere was after these affairs. We of A are iustly proud of our com- pany.

CDayl Y CDaYl C Company Another chapter in the history of C Company has been written and in it we find a record which rarely will be equalled and which will probably never be surpassed. ln the fall the platoon drills were our first success as both C Company platoons placed in the competition. The second platoon under Mac Mcliinlay won these coveted drills while the first platoon under Pete Schwaba placed third. Seldom have two platoons of the same company placed in the first three. Next on our list came the Ivanhoe Cup Competition which C , in the three prelimi- inaries, took first place twice and second once. ln the finals we took the drills. Lt. Lerch made the announcement that evening and when he announced first place and didn't hear the usual cheering, not only he but the entire corps was dumbfounded. They didn't realize that was different and was only waiting to get back to their barracks to raise the roof. Finally at Commencement, C again came through on top, winning the final com- pany competition known as the General King Cup Drills. With these honors we went on to win one more, The Severson Cup, the trophy given each year for Company efficiency. The drill field was not the only place C was proficient. She also was well represented on the athletic field and on the scholastic departments star list. So now boasting its many laurels, the C of l946 bids you goodbye and leaves the C of l947 to carry on. Don't let C Com- pany down. D Company Roster Privates First Class Captain Lieutenants Norlie, N. I. Smith, A. I.

The men of D cooperated in every way possible to bring honor to the name of St. lohn's. Determined D was lucky to have lim Norlie as its captain this year and through his unerring guidance and undaunting loyalty he made a portion of our success possible. A. I. Smith and George Hawn, two of the best lieu- tenants in the school, were recognized for their contributions. l. B. Lawson also deserves to be mentioned as he too aided in helping us climb the ladder of success even though he was later transferred to the staff. On the football field We had K. V. Schwartz, B. Burkhart and A. I. Smith. On the basketball floor we had Smith and Burkhart too while Kriz and Fowler did their share for the golf team. D's scholastic average arose considera- bly this year and this was due in part to the work of Lawson, Smith, A. I., Norlie, Williams, Bates, Evans and Bliel who were awarded stars for the year. All the honors accumulated were made possible through the full cooperation of the entire company: from the captain right down to the lowest ranking private. D also won the Recruiting Trophy this year . . . much to our surprise. l'm sure the younger men of D Company will always carry on. They, too, have learned the secret. To them D isn't just another letter. lt is a symbol of a strong group of men banded together with one purpose in mind, to be vic- torious, to conquer all in the most efficient manner possible. The officers and men of D wish to extend their sincere thanks to the faculty who were always ready to give assistance. Our wish is that future companies will carry on the good work. To the old boys who are leaving us, we wish all the success that life can offer and may good luck and good fortune accompany them forever.

Now comes the task of composing a his- tory of this outfit and its accomplishments for the eyes of all that shall read this page and for the memory of some fifty-odd men who were the spirit and body of this company. lohnny Lindt was our CC. this year and a better Captain couldn't be found. Iohn proved that he was a good officer by overcom- ing insurmountable odds. We cannot limit our praises to one, we must extend them to many. Following Lindt were our two able lieutenants, Bill Laystrom and Ralph Cfreener. Effort lacked in neither of these men. We come next to our non-commissioned ranks, where we find leading the parade and doing the paper work First Sgt. Frank Knourek. Under Frank were S!Sgts. I. E. Farrell, F. E. Clark, Bice, Robb and Baratta followed bY Sgts. Charles Wilt, lim Mann, Chuck Ming, Lips Lipsey, and Marky Marcovich. The corporals were led by Buck Reno with the able assistance of Ape Livingston, Howie Marco, Bill Ballou, Boy Morrison, Bill Pflueger, Stub Weller and Billy Snead. All of these men made E a success. Most of the credit, however belongs to the men in the ranks for without their cheerful aid, E would have failed. We weren't a bunch of stars but just a group of tryers who made up in effort and ability what we lacked in size. Our winning of the Schroeder Cup for Company scholarship demonstrated that effort and ability perfectly. Now, l946 is over and we say goodbye to E , knowing that we will never forget it and the swell bunch of fellows we associated with. We, the graduates, wish the returning song of E the best of luck. - 4 F Company Roster Captain Hines Staff Serqeants Shankland Veqors Langford Dowse CSup.l Ticlball Ballou, R. M.

And while we pause in thought, we shall remember that swell captain of F Company, Hank Hines. Along with Hines we'll remember his able as- sistants, Albert and Noble, a couple of regular fellows. F wouldn't have been the company it was if it hadn't been for our cheerful staff sergeant, Krcilek. When we think of Krcilek, our minds will naturally turn to Shankland, Vegors, Langford, Dowse and Tidball and al- ways our thoughts of them will bring forth fond memories . . . for pleasant memories only bring forth pleasant thoughts. Special commenda- tion is paid to all the noncoms, the back bone of a really good company. It was their pres- ence that shall add to all the joys of remember- mg. lt is strange to think that this that was here today and yesterday shall never return again . . . those new boys running all over Scott Iohnston obeying the gruff command of some old boy . . . it was all in fun. Naturally we shall think of all the awards that came our way in scholastic, athletic and military achievements. We'll also remember the disappointments that we all experienced together when the defeat was inevitable . . . the happiness we shared when our combined ef- forts brought forth the success we all desired. Many times we'll laugh about the fears we knew when we slyly ducked out after taps . . . that fear of being caught and what it might mean to us . . . but we did it anyhow. Yes, those days are over now but l know we're all thankful for those memories. l know we're all thankful for the friends we've made, for the education we received and countless other little things too numerous to mention. Our only hope is that future companies may know the same joys we knew, that their efforts may surpass ours, and that their friend- ships may be as enduring as the ones we have made. To our classmates, we shall just say Goodbye and God bless each and everyone of you. G Company Roster Captain Lieutenants lst Sergeant Vaselopulos Thomas, W. F. Stangeland Grosenick, G. E.

G Company Another year has passed and as We look back on our nine months of hard work, G as a Whole felt very proud of the success and accomplishments it had made during that time. The success Was duly made by the de- pendable cooperation of each and every man under the fine leadership of Captain Peter Vaselopulos, First Lieutenant William Thomas and Second Lieutenant Gilbert Grosenick, the greatest officers any company could hope to have. As in the past it is the non-coms who are the real back-bone of the company and this year the noncoms excelled under the fine leadership of Roger Stangeland. To them much of the credit is due for the success of the company. The first Platoon under the able command of Bill Thomas made a hard fight for the crack Platoon award, but a little hard luck put them in second place. At this time, the other members of the company would like to extend their congratulations on the fine and hard Work that each member of this platoon gave in approaching their goal. G exhibited excellent spirit throughout the year, placing many times in Sunday pa- rades, accomplishing second place in the General King Cup Competition and second for the year in the Efficiency Cup Race. May we take this opportunity to Wish each member of our Company the very best of luck and may the companies of the future experience the success We knew. The men of G also Wish to thank the faculty officers Captain Shake and Captain Luck for their sincere encouragement. Class of 1948 v T' 1 SQ. Q L. E. Agree I. G. Annes F. W. Ballou R. M.

Athletic Coaches One of the primary factors in the construc- tion of a good athletic team is a good coach. We here at St. lohn's are extremely fortunate in having a group of men well qualified in imbuing in the cadet a sense of good team- work, the value of good sportsmanship and the appreciation of a fair and honest game. As in previous years Major Fletcher, in addition to his numerous other duties was Athletic Director. Every school takes pride in a good foot- ball team . . . we are no exception. Had it not been for the excellent coaching of Cap- tain Smith and Captain McMahon our suc- cess might have read differently. The Midgets under the excellent coach- ing of Captain Reardon experienced a very good season. Their record plainly displayed that they had learned the value of teamwork. The luniors and the Lights definitely showed the spirit which is so necessary to become a top-rate team, and much of the credit for their success is due the coaches, Lt. Wigginton and Lt. Cldani. Down on the ice pond, Captain McMahon's hockey team really demonstrated top-rate ability. lnside the gym all the basketball teams were in action. Winning the Conference should readily show that Captain Smith was the man for the coaching iob. The Lightweight team was coached by 4? fest., both Captain Smith and Captain Kuecherer. The Midgets, Bantams and Feathers all were handled by Captain Reardon who did his usually good work with a large group of good workers. Lt. Oldani and Captain Gignilliat coached the boxing and wrestling teams. With the coming of spring the track team came into the limelight. Under the fine coach- ing of Captain Smith and Colonel Bullrnan. Winning the conference definitely shows that our baseball team had just the right coach in Captain Reardon. Considering the bad breaks that our golf team experienced, they still showed the proper sportsmanship and teamwork required by any good team. Shorty Merrifield was responsi- ble for keeping their morale right up there where it should be. Out on the tennis courts Capt. DeVolld and Lt. Dahl could be seen giving the directions and proper instructions to our fine tennis team. lf coordination and teamwork is necessary in any sport, it is especially necessary in crew. Lt. Lerch really demonstrated what he had taught his boys in all his races, but especially in our Commencement race against Culver. lt was obvious we had an outstanding group of athletes this year which only proves that the coaches who stood on the sidelines were equally outstanding. 'E .7 . 'Y' in Team Captains Knowledge, leadership, sportsmanship and proficiency in the game are the prime requi- sites in selecting a good team captain. The outcome of many competitions has, in a number of ways, been due to the decision of the man who holds this all-important job. That is why such consideration in the selec- tion comes into play when the person for this position is chosen. Cur athletic record this year plainly points out that the men chosen as team captains were well considered and proved to be just the ones for their respective job. The Academy football squad was ably led to victory by Dick Murray who was se- lected as their captain. l-le was also the winner of the Betsy Ross Lerch trophy for the most valuable player. Our undefeated season last year definitely proves that Dick did his job well. Tall and lanky Woody Powell was the track team captain and he led our team to second place in the Midwest Prep Confer- ence. We are certainly sorry to lose him through graduation this year. Sharp eyed George Harry Barry Harris served as captain of the baseball team and also aided in putting those balls right over the plate resulting in our placing first in the Midwest Prep Conference. We all wish you were returning, George. As for the Hockey team, Charles Cullen's ability on the silver skates resulted in his being selected as their team captain. His leadership and skill were in part responsible for St. lohn's placing first in the Midwest Prep Conference. Good old Danny Rosten served as team captain for our basketball team and he also was selected as All-Conference center this year. lt was due in part to his able leader- ship that we won the Midwest Prep Confer- ence title. Richard Guster piloted the crew team this year. We were a little less fortunate in this sport as practice is only possible when the weather is permissable, and the weather was none too good last year. Guster was an able leader and we are only sorry he isn't return- ing next year.

A few of the members were lightweight veterans last year: some were second string heavies last year. The only player who was a returning academy man of last year was Bosten, the team captain. Shortly after the Christmas recess St. Iohn's met their first opponent. Due to the fact that their first game scheduled lanuary l2th was less than a week after their return they Kelvyn Park High School - - - - 37 St. Bonaventure ---- - - 34 Park School ---- - - 32 Lake Forest Academy - - - - 26 Culver Military Academy - - - - 20 Pullman Tech High School -- - - - 25 Morgan Park Military Academy ---- 49 Lake Forest Academy ---- - - 32 Morgan Park Military Academy ---- 25 St. Bonaventure ------ - - 29 Culver Military Academy - - - - 45 suffered their first defeat by a score of 37-30. The Kelvyn Park quintet had played twelve games and were a lot more experienced on that eventful evening. Both, St. lohn's left forward, was high scorer for the game with a total of twelve points. The Heavyweights second game was played at Sturtevant, Wisconsin on Ianuary l6th against St. Bonaventure which ended in a victory for St. lohn's. With only a one-point lead at the half, St. Iohn's came through by a score of 39-34. Bosten, St. lohn's center, and Roth, St. Iohn's left forward, shared scoring honors with ten points each. Ianuary 18th found the academy quintet traveling to Indianapolis, Indiana to engage the powerful team of Park High School. Again St. lohn's was victorious by a score of 4l-32. Adams, St. lohn's left guard, took the scoring honors with a total of fifteen points. The fourth game ended in another victory for St. lohn's. On lanuary 23rd the all-confi- dent Lake Forest team journeyed into St. lohn's territory only to go down in bitter defeat by a score of 42-26. lohnson and Rosten shared scoring honors with ten points each. On lanuary 26th St. lohn's defeated their old rival, Culver Military Academy, by a score of 36-29. lohnson, St. lohn's right for- ward, was high-point man with a total of twelve points. February lst rolled around to find St. lohn's continuing their string of unbroken victories at Pullman Tech. by trimming 'em with a 59-25 victory. Iohnson once again led the St. Iohn's cage team with a total of twenty- two points. The following night, namely February 2nd, St. Iohn's suffered its second defeat at the hands of Morgan Park. The half ended with a 25-2l lead for Morgan Park. The cadets fought courageously but lost to a score of 49-40. Roth, St. lohn's left forward, had his best night with a total of twenty-four points. On February 6th St. lohn's met Lake Forest for the second time. On that night one of the most spectacular games in high school his- tory was played. lt was the first overtime game the St. lohn's five had ever played. lt ended in a victory of 33-32 for the cadets when Adams, St. lohn's left guard, shot the winning basket in the overtime period. lzlosten, captain and center of the team, once more took scoring honors gathering no less than fourteen points for his team. Two days later, February Sth, the St. Iohn's quintet avenged their former defeat by Morgan Park. The cadets whipped the Morgan Park lads by a score of 48-25. Again Rosten tipped the honors with a total of seventeen points. Roth was close behind with a total of fourteen points. The Academy basketball team, after get- ting away to a slow start, came through in the fourth quarter to defeat St. Bonaventure by a score of 41-29 on February l3th. This was another exciting game played by the cadets for at the half the score was tied 19-l9. Rosten, with a total of sixteen points, took the scoring honors. Once again the St. Iohn's five faced their old rival. This time on Culver's floor the powerful St. Iohn's quintet was defeated by a score of 45-35 on the evening of February 23rd. The defeat of this game made no differ- ence, however, for the crown of the Mid-West Prep Conference basketball championship. St. lohn's put that title away when they defeated Lake Forest a few weeks back. lt was the first defeat within the Mid-West Prep Conference. Ftosten, who consistently carried off scoring honors continued his monopoly with a total of twenty points. The annual Mid-West Prep Tournament was held on March lst and 2nd this year. The cadets drew Park School from Indianapolis as their first opponents. Park, who had already been defeated by St. lohn's earlier in the season eliminated the hard-fighting St. lohn's cagers by a score of 42-39. This was the biggest disappointment of the season for the cadets but they took it on the chin. The first half ended with a score of 20-l7 in favor of the cadets. The teams exchanged the scoring during the remaining half but Park was too much and it ended with a three-point lead for Park. Roth led the scoring honors with a total of eleven points. Adams and Schilleman were close behind with eight points each. Coach Allen Smith started Rosten at cen- ter, Fioth and lohnson at forwards and Adams and Schilleman at guard positions throughout the games. Rosten, the only regular from last year, was the mainstay of the team. Adams and lohnson, both second string members last year, were also valuable players. Schilleman and Roth, both new men this season, dis- played excellent basketball talent. Palmer and McKinlay also saw action through the season and did excellent playing. Other men who saw action against opposing teams this year included Sinclair, Macatee, Smith, R., Prince, W., Robertson, Dickelman and Murray. St. lohn's placed two men on the All-Con- ference team, namely Ptosten, center, and Schilleman, guard. St. lohn's did not place anyone on the All-Tournament Team. Thus ended the 1946 basketball season. Lightweight Basketball The academy Lightweight basketball team had a record this year of seven victories and four defeats in an eleven-game season. The Lights opened their season against Kelvyn Park on Saturday, lanuary l2th, and defeated the Chicago team, 33 to 24. The high point man for the Lightweights was Prince, W., who totaled ten points. On the following Wednesday, Ianuary 16th, the Lights had their first experience in playing on a strange floor. They went to Sturtevant, Wisconsin, and there they de- feated the St. Bonaventure Lights, l9 to l0. The first of four games with the Ocono- mowoc High School B team was played on Monday, lanuary 2lst, at Oconomowoc. The cadets lost, 36 to 28, with Peterson again taking honors for scoring. l-le put in ten points. The next three games with Oconomowoc all ended in victories for St. lohn's. On Mon- day, Ianuary 28th, the Lights defeated the B team, 27 to 2l, on the academy court. The following Monday, February 4th, in a game at Oconomowoc, the cadets came out on top by a two point margin, winning 25 to 24. The last game with Oconomowoc was played at St. Iohn's on Monday, February llth, and was won by the Lights, 24 to 20. The lights led at the half, ll to l0. ln the four games played with the Wau- kesha High School B team the cadets did not fare as well, as they won one and lost three. They met Waukesha first at St. Iohr1's on Wednesday, February 6th, and dropped the game to the visitors by the close margin of one basket. The final score was 33 to 3l. The next two games were played in the Waukesha gymnasium, on Thursday, Febru- ary 2lst, and Thursday, March 7th, ln the first one the Lights were defeated, 27 to 20, and in the second they went down to defeat by a score of 33 to l7. Prince was high point man for the first of these games, with eleven points, and Burkhart, Fl., led the scoring in the second with nine. The return game with St. Bonaventure's Lights was played at St. lohn's on Wednes- day, February l3th, and was won by the cadets. The final score was 35 to 22. That was the big night for Thomas, W., who scored twenty-three points and couldn't seem to miss from any part of the floor. Much of the credit for the Lightweights good season was due to the excellent coach- ing of Captain A. Smith.

Bantam and Featherweight Basketball The Bantams and the Feathers, under the fine coaching of Captain Reardon, had a suc- cessful season this year. Out of nine games played the Bantams won six and lost but three games. The Feathers, smallest of the five regular basketball teams, had an even greater season winning all four games played. This is a remarkable record considering the size, age and experience of these little dead eyes. On lanuary 18th the Bantams opened their 1946 season by defeating Oconomowoc's St. Ierome's Parochial School, 44 to 10. Cadet Knickerbocker was high point man with a total of 18 points. Cadet I. Bench was close behind him with a total of 14 points. Friday, Ianuary the 24th, the Bantams lost their second game when the Lincoln School of Cconorno- woc defeated our boys in a very close game, 14 to 12. The third game resulted in a victory when the Cushing School of Delafield lost to our Bantams in another very close and exciting game by a score of 37 to 31. Unfortunately on February 13th, the unlucky thirteen dealt the Bantams a loss when St. loseph's Parochial School over-ran our cadets, 46 to 27. This loss was, however, relinquished when the Bantams once again defeated Lincoln, 20 to 7. The sixth game proved victorious again as a result of defeating the Washington Grade School, 37 to 4. The Bantams lost their last game on February 27th when the Lincoln School avenged themselves with a score of 25 to 17. The eighth and ninth games proved to be victorious ones for the Bantams. The first resulted in a defeat for the Racine Comman- dos' B Team with a score of 31 to 28. The last and final game was played with the Washing- ton Grade School at Milwaukee where the Bantams chalked up their last win, 35 to 15. The Feathers opened their first game by defeating St. IGIOITIQIS B Team, 22 to 8, Cadet Burr was high point man with a total gf 12 points. The Feathers then Played the Lincoln School seventh graders and defeated thgm by a score of 16 to 5. The third and fgufth games were both played with the Lincgln School. ln the first Qame the cadets won with a score of 10 to 6. The last and final game resulted in a victory for the Feathers when they defeated Lincoln again, 12 to 8. The Rifle Team For a great many years, St. lohn's has had excellent rifle teams. The honor and glory of former teams were upheld this year by a team that was made up mostly of ex- perienced members, with a few new cadets. The fifteen that the teams were to consist of were chosen at the beginning of the year from a group of about one hundred candi- dates. The elimination and choosing of cadets was done under the supervision of the team's coach. Sergeant Michael Harger, in a series of competitions. Special instruction was given by the team's captain, Cadet Staff Sergeant lames L. Taylor with the help of Mattes, DS., Kindt and Hawn. The men who qualified for the team were Agree, Baitinger, Hansche, Hawn, Kindt, Lau, Lawson, Mattes, Miller, Hyder, Taylor, Ballou, DeHaan, Grover, Moffatt, Nall, Norlie and Wilt. These men then coached or were coached in the various firing position until they were adept in the handling of their rifles. At this time training began for the Hearst Sixth Service Command postal matches in which the team competed very successfully. The first team consisting of Hawn, Kindt, Lau, Ryder and Taylor won first place and the second team consisting of Baitinger, Hansche, Lawson, Mattes and Miller placed fourth, giving St. lohn's the trophy in the Hearst Match. These two teams then com- bined to shoot for the Sixth Service match and took second place. Ryder was high man in both the Sixth Ser- vice Command and Hearst matches. Credit is due to the team's faithful coach, Sergeant Harger, who has been coaching St. lohn's rifle teams for many years. The team of l946 has set a record which will not easily be broken. They were about fifth highest in the country. Heres hoping the team of l947 keeps up this excellent record. Hockey Team Scores: St. lohn's M.A. - - l3 St. lohn's M.A. - - 4 St. lohn's MA. - - 4 St. Iohn's M.A. - - 9 St. lohn's M.A. - - 5 St. lohn's MA. - - 4 This year the hockey season was delayed a while by bad weather, and again at the end, the puck-chasers were closed out by an early thaw. However, when the ice was usable the games were played oft in good form, which, l might add, made our contempo- rary conference teams rather discouraged. To start the season ott in the right way, the Cadets out-skated and out-pointed Messmer High School ot Milwaukee by an overwhelm- ing score ot l3 to 5. The game was played on Saturday, lan. l9th here at St. lohn's. For a 'starter' it was very good not only from the Messmer H.S. ---- 5 Marquette University High - O Milwaukee Country Day - l St. Francis H.S. - - - l Shorewood H.S. - - - 3 Shorewood H.S. - O standpoint of score, but in the fact that Capt. McMahon was given the opportunity to use a great many ot the team, thus enabling him to find the right men. Cullen was the high score man with tour goals and an assist to his credit. On Wednesday, Ian. 23, the hockey team went to Milwaukee and shut out Marquette High with a score of 4 to U. This was the second straight victory in two starts, SQ the team was looked upon tor a good Season, Again Cullen was the high scorer, but Fink and Stocks each made one and Farrell I. E. was credited with an assist. CAPTAIN HOWARD MCMAHON Coach .Academy Hockey The third game of the season was played 'against the Milwaukee Country Day team in Milwaukee on Saturday, lan. 26th. Again the 'game was credited to the puck-chasing Cadets with a score of 4 to 1. But the game was not an easy one, as the temperature was -down to zero, and both teams were in the best of condition. The victory over Country Day put St. Iohn's in first place in the Southwest LWisconsin Prep Hockey League. On the following Monday, the 28th, St. lohn's played their first game with St. Francis H.S. on the St. Iohn's rink. Once again the Cadets came out on top with a satisfying 'score of 9 to l. This game wasn't too stiff so Capt. McMahon put in some of the spares. Among them were Farrell, Pink, McDowell, D. and Tobin, each was credited with a goal. Still undefeated, the Cadets again took the ice on Feb. 4th. They played Shorewood in 'Milwaukee only to chalk up another victory 'for St. Iohn's. Shorewood offered fairly good competition, but the Cadets proved to be just ia little bit better. The score was 5 to 3. Stocks was the high-scorer with three goals and one assist, but Cullen was close behind with two goals and two assists. Shorewood came to St. Iohn's the follow- ing Saturday, but they returned to their school with a shut-out to their credit. Once again St. Iohn's had the satisfaction of shutting out one of their conference opponents. lt was another 4 to O game and this time Cullen scored two goals, Farrell I. E. and Floback each scored one and Stocks was credited with an assist. Owing to bad weather conditions the re- turn game with St. Francis, and the one during the 'Mid' with Marquette had to be cancelled. However, the treat of the year was the trip to Chicago. The hockey team was to play the New Trier High School team, but the competition was not in accordance with our conference league rules. The New Trier TGT Maple Leafs played by 'pro' regulations, which was something St. Iohn's had not ex- pected. After playing a short while the Cadets began to catch on to the rough stuff and the latter part of the game showed that a little practice with 'pro' rules would have made the game a snap for the Cadets. That evening we saw the Blackhawks play and then returned to school by bus. The usual starting lineup was Stocks, Cullen, Krcilek as forwards, and Schwaba L. and Maynard at defense with Giessler in the goal. All in all, it is really plain to see that this year the Hockey team was truly top perform- ance squad. Our reliable Chuck Cullen as Captain led the scoring throughout the season, but to the others of the first string: Krcilek, Fink, Farrell, I. E., Stocks, Schwaba, L., Maynard and Giessler, the team owes a great deal of credit for its success. Among the others, so often referred to as spares: Mc- Dowell, D., Floback, Pattee, Tidball, Kuni, Baldock, Tobin and Bosch a word of praise for their fine work. Stubb Giessler did a fine job this year, and don't for get it fellas, but Stubb is going. However, Bosch gives the appearance of being a very promising goalie next year. Among the other members of the team were: Laystrom, Snead, Anderson W., Schwaba P. and Schwaba I., Hines and Hammer. We really had a fine team this year, fellas, and even though we didn't get to play all of the games, our undefeated team will go down in history as one of the best. But don't forget that if it wasn't for the excellent guidance and patience of Captain McMahon, we might not have had the Championship Team. For all of us, l think I can rightly say, Thanks a lot Cap , thanks for the fine team we're proud to be part of. Midwinter Festivities As each year rolls around it brings with it the joy and excitement of another Midwinter Hop. This sixty first year of such a gala week- end was no different than any other. We had waited for it . . . it was here . . . it would be gone all too soon. l remember it as being the only year when we all enjoyed cleaning our barracks rooms until they practically glowed in the dark. l guess that's the only time of the year when we all do enjoy giving those rooms the once over. Then I remember the eager anticipation of awaiting the arrival of the school buses bring- ing the girls and discharging them in front of Cypress Hall where each girl was to be regis- tered and assigned to her room. Boy, it's really a thrill when you get that first glimpse of your favorite girl friend. The girls roomed in Scott lohnston and Hazelwood and the fellows who usually lived over there were sent over to Smythe and Delioven Halls to bunk over the weekend. The earlier part of that Friday afternoon after their arrival, the girls spent in getting un- packed and settled. Later in the afternoon, the cadets met their dates and strolled around mostly discussing the events which had oc- cured since their last meeting. lt was a cadet's dream come true . . . St. Iohn's looked like a co-educational school. ln the evening each cadet called for his date and escorted her to the dining room where everyone ate a hearty meal in prepara- tion for the evening that was yet to come. lt was the night of the Winter Carnival. There was skating to soft music down on the Acad- emy pond or a fast ride down the sleek tobog- gan slide or a brisk sleigh ride along the icy country roads or a quiet dance in the common room or maybe just a little chat with your best girl. lt was all there . . . for once the Corps could do as it wished. Saturday morning came in due time. lt seemed an eternity, for this was the day we had all been waiting for. The sun was out, bright and warm. That took care of the skating and tobogganing and the hockey game that was scheduled for that afternoon . . . too warm. But the warm air didn't dampen our spirits any, for the sleigh rides were replaced by an old fashioned hayride. And we Could Still dance in the common room and meqndef around the grounds with our dates. That's just what we did. Honorary Captains of 1946 Later on, about 4:30 P. M., the mothers and fathers were invited to their respective func- tions: the mothers to a tea in the bandroom and the fathers to a smoker in the canteen. Some of the girls returned to their rooms to begin getting ready for the biggest event of all . . . the annual Midwinter Dinner and Dance. What a dinner that was, everything from soup to nuts . And then . . . then . . . over to the gymnasium where the soft music of Ierry Wald was finding its Way out into the night. The decorating committee really did them- selves proud for they certainly captured the spirit of St. Valentines Day. The sides of the gym were covered with alternating red and white panels and on each white panel was a large red heart framed in lace paper. At the end of the gym on each side of the stage were two giant hearts each pierced by cupid's ar- row. The stage itself was decorated in red, white and blue. Hanging from the lights were multi-colored strips of paper and from the cen- ter of each light hung a red heart. By 8:00 P. M. a large crowd had assembled for the formal Midwinter Hop and at 8:30 it officially began. The Grand March which was led by Captain Harry I. Fink, senior captain of the Corps, and Miss Harriet Gardner, honorary captain of B Company, began at 9:00. That was a wonderful sight to behold as each offi- cer and first sergeant raised his sword and sabre to form the arch of steel , under which each cadet in his trim uniform and each girl in her lovely formal slowly walked. Then the dancing began. The music was just as it should be . . . made for dancing. During the evening refreshments were served in the Cadet Store. At about l0:00 the cadet captains and their dates lined up in order. The Color Guard stood at attention in the background as the crowd gathered around while Brigadier Gen- eral Parrand and Lieutenant Colonel Smythe, with the assistance of each captain, presented a pin to each captain's date, making her an honorary captain of the Corps. After this the dance continued and was officially over at l2:30 A. M. We escorted our dates to their rooms and after the customary goodnight and a little reminiscing over the evening, each cadet wended his way rather sadly to his room. Sunday morning was a busy morning for everyone. The girls were busy packing and dressing for chapel. The cadets were cleaning their rooms for a police inspection of their quarters. The Corps ate mess at 8:00 A. M. and the girls breakfasted an hour later . . . lucky girls. This was the only meal the girls ate without the presence of their escorts. Immedi- ately after inspection the cadets and their dates proceeded to chapel. The service was as it always is on Sunday morning, but yet there was a strange and foreign something about that morning. Perhaps it was the presence of a girl at each cadet's side . . . it could be. Follow- ing the service at Chapel the Corps and their dates were entertained in the gymnasium by the Academy Band, Glee Club and lnstrumen- tal Quartet. The Swaggerstick Club really took the honors that morning with a humorous little skit that made one forget that the hour of part- ing was near. A few missed it, but not many. Dinner was served at 1:30 P. M. in the Academy dining room. This was the last scheduled event of the weekend. Then the school chimes finally struck for the third time . . . that for which we waited was here and almost past. lust those final good- byes. l'll bet there was a lump in each fellow's throat as he watched his girl board the school bus and then drive slowly off and over the hill . . . there was in mine. The weekend was over and we, the Corps of Cadets, wish to give our most sincere thanks to Lt. Colonel Smythe and Cadet Captain Harry I. Fink and everyone else who shared in making this the most memorable Midwinter this Corps of Cadets has ever known. May we also thank you for the memory that lingers on. Class of 1947 I. N. Allen H.

In fact it is excelled in importance only by the Iune Company Competitions. F or the past sixteen years the Ivanhoe Cup has been presented annually to the winning Company by the Ivanhoe Commandery of Knights Templar of Milwaukee. The reason for the presentation is that the St. Iohn's Military Academy allowed them the privilege of competing in nation-wide drill contests similar to ours. This year the rules had been changed somewhat from previous years, making it a little harder for the better companies and a little easier for the poorer companies. A com- pany had to place lst or 2nd in any one of the first four drills. However, when they ob- tained a lst or 2nd place, they could not drop to fifth or below without being disqualified. lst and 2nd places were never announced but were posted on the P. M. S. CS T. bulletin board. The winners of the first drill were B and C companies who therefore appeared in the second and third drill competitions also. Another company was admitted to the finals when C and D companies won the fourth and finals of the eliminating drills. Particular rivalry is apparent between two of the better companies: namely C Com- pany and B Company. B had won the cup the previous year while C placed sec- ond. This year B was determined to keep the cup in their possession but C was just as determined they were going to take it away. C Company won by a narrow mar- gin, B Company came in second closely followed by On Commencement Sunday an official presentation was made on the parade grounds by the Ivanhoe Commandery to Iohn Hed- berg, the captain of C Company. Inter-Platoon Competition Undoubtedly one of the most important and most anticipated events of the year is the lnter- Platoon competition. Every cadet dreams of being in the Crack Platoon and the goal of every Lieutenant is to place first in this compe- tition. This drill takes the combined efforts of every man. Each driller must have confidence in himself. A single error may result in losingg therefore it is necessary for every cadet to give much of his spare time to extra periods of drill in order to perfect those more difficult com- mands. This year the inter-platoon Competition came before the lvanhoe Winter Company Competition. When the Corps returned from their Christmas vacation there was only three weeks for the platoon leader to learn the com- plicated list of 57 commands and to train his men for the perfection demanded. ' The elimination drills were held early in February and seven out of the fourteen pla- toons placed in the finals. They were the first platoon of Company B under the leadership of Lt. Gusterg second platoon of Company B under the command of Lt. McDevittg first and second platoons of Company C under the guidance of Lt. P. H. Schwaba and Lt. McKin- lay respectivelyp first and second platoons of Company D commanded by Lt. A. I. Smith and Lt. Lawson and the first platoon of Com- pany G under the command of Lt. W. P. Thomas. Two days later the finals were held and judged by two outside army officers. The gym was packed with interested spectators ready to cheer for their favorite platoon. Anxiety was apparent. The remainder of that Saturday morning was spent in keen anticipation. That evening Lt. Col. Charles T. Smythe read off the winning platoon in their reverse order: Third place to Cadet Lt. Peter Schwaba of Company CH: second place to the first platoon of Com- pany Cf and first place, the Crack Platoon of l946, was awarded to the second platoon of Company C under the command of Lt. Cal- vin Mcliinlay. Congratulations are extended to Lt. McKin- lay for his fine work and to the men of the second platoon of Company C for the fine team work shown resulted in their ultimate success.

The Kempers won the first place in the first event. However, that was in no way an indica- tion of the final score, for the DeKovens dis- played ability that was hard for any St. Iohn's Kemper to surpass. In the last event, the tug of war, the weight advantage was so much on the DeKoven side that the contest was soon over, with the DeKovens pulling the Kemper team past the designated spot on the gym floor.

This was a peaceful land today and the joy of living could be felt everywhere. Somehow Easter at St. Iohn's was as it always should be. The loud boom of the cannon didn't bring with it the sombre note of just another day. The cadets were up and out, ready for the day's events, the first being the voluntary chapel services which everyone wanted to attend. Then there was the clean-up of quar- ters before we went over to the gym for the Easter games. The first game was blind man's bluff in which selected cadets were blindfolded and tried to catch one other cadet ringing a little bell. Diving for pieces of silver which are thrown into large tubs of water was another one of the games on the program. After the games in the gym, the General announced the boundaries for the annual egg hunt. The egg is hidden somewhere on the campus. The cadet who finds the egg wins the five dollars which is hidden inside. This year the lucky man was Cadet R. E. Smith. The cadets then returned to their barracks to clean up for the regular Sunday morning chapel service. That morning the altar was bedecked in its Easter array consisting of the traditional Easter lilies and other flowers which gave the chapel a more reverent beauty. Guard mounting followed the services after which the Corps marched into the annual holiday dinner in the Academy dining room. Anyone who wishes may obtain permission to dine with their parents. The Sunday parade is held as usual after which the cadets may spend the remaining time in doing as they wished. This year enjoyment was added to the day by the return of several old boys, some of whom were veterans of the war. lt was good to see all of them, and I hope that next year many members of the Class of 1946 may return to find things as they were this yegr if not better. Officers' Club The St. Iohn's Officers' Club is probably one of the most useful organizations in the corps. lt meets once every two weeks and as the name implies, it is made up of the Cadet Officers of the school. Its duties as a body are relatively few, however, it does serve many useful purposes. First of all it is a place where the officers can meet and talk over the various problems which arise in their different companies. ln this way they can establish a general plan for running their varied companies. This, in turn, tends toward making a more uniform and better coordinated corps of cadets. The Officers' Club does not serve just as a governing body for the corps, but more partic- ularly it serves as a representative of the cadets. Through the club the cadets, as a group, can express their feelings and ideas about certain things which would help toward making our school a better organization. The officers in turn present these matters to the men who run our school for approval or disap- proval. Among other things, the Officers' Club is responsible for putting over a good Thanksgiv- ing and Mid-Winter dance, both of which are always very successful. This year I believe the Officers' Club should be especially compli- mented on the many helpful jobs they per- formed for the corps. More particularly to those four officers who were chosen to lead the club this year. The job of President was passed into very capable hands when the club elected Capt. D. D. Dan Rosten. Dan had a lot of good ideas which he thought would help our school and we all admired his ability as a leader and the hard work he put forth to attain a realization of these ideas. l-le was very ably assisted in this job by Cadet Capt. lohn C. l-ledberg who was the Vice-President. Cadet Capt. Norman I. Norlie was elected Secretary, and we think lim should be especially compli- mented on the outstanding job he did in taking the minutes at each meeting. The officers could not have chosen a more capable, nor more conscientious man to fill this position than they did in selecting lim Norlie. Cadet Capt. Peter V. Vaselopulos was elected Treasurer and did ah excellent job at that unappreciative task of collecting dues. We want to thank these officers ot the Offi- cers' Club for the great work they did in help- ing the cadets of St. Iohn's to advance that all ready renowned record of our school. 4 Trumpeter Staff One thing a first classman may always look to for enjoyment and as a refreshment of memories is the yearbook. Between its covers is contained a year of the cadet's life here at St. johns. By glancing through its pages, a graduate may relive the years when he, too, was a cadet. Every Spring the call rings out for volun- teers to work on the preparing of the Annual -and the writing of articles, this year included. At first no seniors heeded the call and it seemed as though there might not be a Trum- peter of '46 . The situation was brought up at a meeting of the first class and immediately names began to pour in. ln all, there were thirty-two cadets to volunteer. The staff consisted of lvlacatee, as chair- man, and Norlie, N., Peters, Fowler, Korona, Hoff, Hawn, Colson, Wood, Paul, Bendiner, Eadie, S., Tidball, Potter, Powell, Oetting, Sutherland, Hartley, Amon, Reed, McDevitt, Maynard, Noble, Wolf, R., Ienkinson, Vasel- opulous, Friske, Mclray, Marco and Samels as writers. Smith, Pt. was the class photographer. The class of '46 extends its sincere appre- ciation to Major jacques for his assistance in the preparation of this book. Without his or- ganization and planning, the appearance of the yearly Trumpeter would be doubtful. The class also hopes that everyone will enjoy the Trumpeter and that as complete a resume as possible of the year has been made in these pages. S Club Ever since its tounding, St. Iohn's has stressed the idea of a balanced lite tor its cadets, with equal emphasis on scholastics, military training and physical development. lt is only natural, therefore, that rewards for excellence in all three phases of a young man's development should be eagerly striven for each year. No reward, however, is more proudly worn than a St. Iohn's S denoting excellence in some athletic activity. All those cadets who have succeeded in winning their letter torm the S Club, one of the largest groups of the campus, but nevertheless still one of the most select organizations. Major letters are awarded tor football, basketball, hockey, crew, track and baseball, and minor letters are awarded for golf and tennis. Either a major or a minor letter qualities a man for membership, and he is easily recognized by the letter on his sweater. Those men eligible for letters are chosen by the coaches oi the various sports, and se- lections are based upon regularity at practice, ability of the player and each individuals contribution to the success of the team. Those men who have contributed in ex- ceptional measure to the success of their teams are further rewarded with gold awards symbolic oi the sport. Special privileges are accorded members of the S Club and those rightfully so. They are permitted to wear their S sweaters in- stead oi the uniform ot the day to the weekly motion pictures or basketball games during the winter and spring. They are also per- mitted to be absent formations for these activities. The S Club is composed this year, as always, ot a group ot young men who are the spirit oi American youth. To quality for mem- bership they have contributed to the life ot the school and have gained tor themselves val- uable lessons in physical, moral and mental development. It it's true, and l'm sure it is, that truly great men are developed on the fields of sport, then the S Club will long continue to be one of the outstanding organi- zations at St. Iohn's and membership will always be a source ot much pride. Crew The crew began work on the lake in its one serviceable shell right after our annual spring vacation. As the crew already had four able lettermen from last year, the first week or two was spent filling in the holes in the crew and biding time waiting for the new shell. After the shell arrived, it only took a couple more practices before Lt. Lerch se- lected the tentative first crew and began polishing up for the first race against the University of Wisconsin Freshmen who came to St. lohn's on the 27th of April. On a calm lake and with neither crew up to par, the cadets were defeated by four lengths in a mile and a quarter race. After a two week rest, which consisted of an intensive practice twice daily, the cadets went to Madison to meet the Freshmen again. This time they were defeated in an excellent mile and a quarter race by three lengths by a superior freshmen crew. The next week was spent preparing for Culver, the big rival, and on Saturday, May l8th, a confident St. Iohn's crew defeated an excellent Culver crew by a half length in one of the most spectacular races ever held on Lake Nagawicka. Then on the first of lune the crew wound up its official season by defeating a much weaker Lincoln Park Boat Club Crew by four lengths on a very rough lake. For the first time in several years, Lt. Lerch decided to enter the crew in the Regatta held in Detroit and sponsored by the Detroit Boat Club. On a Thursday night, the seventh of lune, the crew left for Detroit. They were a seeded crew so they competed only with the three other finalists in our first night race at about 7:30 on a very rough river. Due to circumstances, the cadets were second by half a length for which they are to be given credit as Mt. Caramel, the winners, got a six and a half length start when the St. Iohn's boat tangled oars with another boat. The race was rowed on approximately a three-quarter mile course. This year the crew had two veterans fill- ing the last two positions, Goose Guster, the Stroke, and Muck McDevitt, rowing seven with Rosie Rosenthal filling six, Sam Eadie in five, Gunner Mayer in four, Baby Dickelman in three, lamie Taylor in two and Fred Hartley in the bow, ably led by Pete Vaselopulos and 'Mungu Grosenick as the coxies. Tom Fisher, Little Roy Schwaba and High Pockets Small were the alternates and Ed Probst was the manager and boat driver. With this year, crew has come into its own and the cadets showed their true colors with a very profitable season behind them. We look forward to even better things next year. Tennis Team The Academy tennis team had a full sea- son this year, playing eleven matches and participating in the Mid-west Prep conference. The schedule began on our own courts, April l3, l946, where the team met a new and powerful opponent, Wauwatosa High School, who defeated us 6 to 2. Cn April l7th, the St. lohn's men were again defeated by Wauwatosa-this time on their courts. Smith, T. P., was the one winner for St. Iohn's in this match. Our first two victories were on April 24th and May 8th, when we defeated the North- western Preps. The team had their most ex- citing matches with Lake Forest Academy. We played them twice, and both times drew a 3 to 3 tie. Smith won in both of these matches over Cornell, who was here at St. lohn's last year. Pulliam lost a close one to Robinson of Lake Forest and soon after was forced to give up his number two position to Richards CCaptainD because of illness. The closest match for Richards was, by the way, also against Lake Forest's second man who defeated him 6-4, O-6, and 9-7. Our real conference competition began on May llth when we rnet Kelvyn Park and were defeated 6-l. A few days later, still in a slump, we were also taken by Wayland Academy, l-5 and Milwaukee Country Day, l-4. About this time our regular coach, Cap- tain DeVolld, who was also a regular fellow, was preparing to leave for a iob in the South, so the team got to work and finished up with two more victories. On May 30th, it was Elgin Academy who suffered a loss of 3-2 and on lune 7th we finished the season and a two week old rivalry by defeating Wayland Acad- emy 3-2. With a strong doubles' team, Elgin won the Conference Tournament on May 18th, but we weren't far behind them. Smith went all the way to the singles finals and gave De- Volld of Park a great fight for the champion- ship. Smith also represents most of those one marks in our scores of 4-l, 5-l and 6-l. He is a fine player and should have no trouble leading a fine bunch of returning lettermen like Coffaro, Gundling, Thoms and Weiser into first place at the tournament next year. lt's too bad that Tuthill, Baitinger, Pulliam, Richards and Stiles won't be returning next year. However, they are graduating and we all realize that all good things must come to an end. lf the teams of the future have the fine spirit that our team displayed then they too will have a good team. Smith and Richards won the doubles' tro- phies in the St. lohn's tournament this year and Smith won the singles. Lt. Dahl spon- sored the event in the same cheerful way that he replaced Captain DeVolld when he left and if l'm not mistaken, Lt. Dahl will have a record team next season.

The St. lohn's baseball team of 1946 truly had an eventful season. They emerged from the Mid-West Conference Tournament at Chicago as Conference Champions and had the greatest record of any St. lohn's nine in the history of the school. Out of eighteen games played, the cadets won fifteen for a .833 percentage. 4 7 6 14 St. Iohn's MA. - - 10 3 5 8 8 The season opened with a game at Ieffer- son High School at Iefferson. lt seemed that Iefferson - - - 5 Oconomowoc - - 3 St. Francis - - 5 lefferson - - 6 Lutheran - - 2 South Division - - 2 Northwestern - - 5 Kelvyn Park - - 1U Oconomowoc - - 1 Pullman - - 2 Park - - - 6 Lake Forest - - 2 St. Francis - - 7 Lake Forest - - l Country Day - - l Country Day - - 4 Northwestern - - O Lutheran ------ 2 the team was still a little stiff as they bowed 3 to 5. The hitting was especially weak on the part of the cadets. The following Monday, 'Oconomowoc High School met St. Iohn's and went down in CI 7-3 defeat before the team's improved hitting and fielding. Two days later St. Francis also fell before the St. Iohn's nine 15 to 5. 118 Saturday, Iefferson arrived for a return game and this time the story was different. St. Iohn's won by a score of 9 to 6 through excel- lent spirit and team play. On Monday, April 29, the team faced South Division H.S. in perhaps one of the hardest fought contests of the year. Through the two-hit pitching of George Harris and the timely hits on the part of the team, the cadets won by a score of 5 to 2. On Wednesday, May 3, St. Iohn's was victorious over Northwestern Preps l3 to 5 in one of the season's wildest games. Kelvyn Park met the cadets the following Saturday and dealt them their second defeat of the year, lU-2. St. lohn's appeared to be having a streak of bad luck as Monday they lost a no-hit affair to Oconomowoc, l to 0. Saturday morning, May l8, St. lohn's left for the Mid-West Conference Tournament at Chicago. The first game was against Pullman Tech and was won by the cadets, 4 to 2. The second game, the cadets faced Park of lndian- apolis in a true thriller. With one on in the last half of the sixth, Bill Prince clouted a homer over the left field wall to give St. Iohn's a 7-6 win and the Conference Championship. This was the beginning of a nine-game winning streak that led to the end of the season. Among these were two victories over Lake Forest, 6 to 2 and lU to l. St. Francis came to St. lohn's for a return engagement and again were beaten, this time by a score of l4 to 7. Saturday, Iune l, was perhaps the coldest day of the season and on which St. Iohn's was scheduled for a double header with Country Day. McDowell and Macatee, our pitchers from dear old Scotland, came through with two victories of 3 to l and 5 to 4 respec- tively. Country Day only received a total of five safeties through both games. Wednesday, lune 5, was St. Iohn's last home game and ended in a victory for the cadets over Northwestern 8 to O. The follow- ing Saturday the team played Lutheran H. S. in Milwaukee and won 8 to 2 for the final game of the season. To really see the team, not only the record must be known but also the fellows that worked so smoothly together in all the games. lf it were not for their cooperation and hard work throughout the season, the team's re- markable record would not have been at- tained. Behind the plate were Chief Bender and Frankie Hayes who did a swell job of catching through the season. Bender hit .306 and Hayes .l25. On the mound were George CGeorgesl Harris, Bud CTeel Macatee and Doug CDowelD McDowell. Harris won 4 and lost 2, Macatee won 4 and lost none and McDowell won 6 and lost l. Because of Harris' hitting ability, he played center field when not pitching, main- taining a .367 batting percentage. Dowell is still famous for his home run in the St. Francis game as well as Tee and his reptile ball. Special credit is also due Bob Niebuhr for his fine relief pitching in the Lake Forest game. On first base was Andy CPinheadD Bas- mussen. His uncanny fielding ability saved many a precious game for the team as well as his dangerous bunting in the pinch. Andy hit 200. The Keystone was covered by Dan CDuperD Bosten. Duper was the big noise of the infield and a demon for the hot grounders. Dan was also a powerful hitter with a .346 average and two homers. Shortstop was jointly held by Tom Peacock and lohnny Iohnson and as shortstops go, neither could be surpassed. Iohnny hit a .333 and Tom a .l92. The hot corner was ably covered by Modest Bill Prince. Bill, the Tournament hero, never failed at third or at the plate. Bill mustered a .297 average and smashed three home runs. Way out in left was St. Iohn's pride, Commissioner lim Schaefer. lim led the team in hitting with a .427 percentage and broke the school record of home runs in one season with six of the four baggers. Centerfield was filled either by George Harris, Iohnny Iohnson or Tom Peacock when they weren't in their other positions. Bight field was in the hands of Chuck Cullen. Chuck , known as insanity on the bases , popped 'em where they weren't for a .327 hitting average. Once on first, his base running antics often resulted in many gray hairs for Capt. Reardon. Fifty per cent of the team were on the field and the other fifty on the sidelines in the form of Capt. Reardon. Without his guidance and patience, the team could never have attained such a record as they did this season. Also special credit is due to Bud Stocks, Hunter Passmore and Carl Warren, the utility men of the team. Stocks hit .444, Passmore .375 and Warren was not officially at bat. Without the hard working fellows who do not quite make the team, an organization such as this would never be successful. Much ap- preciation is to be expressed to DeVere, Eadie, W., Kloos, Knickerbocker, Koretos, Lafayette, Lockett, Novak, Pfeiffer, Bench, I., Seberger, Scheel and Scheidegger. Many thanks also to the tireless managers, Buck Reno and Art Weller. Track Team No doubt, this has been one of the best seasons that the Track and Field Team has had in a long time. lt has made a record that will be hard to equal. This year, as last, the team has won all ot its meets, except the Mid-West Prep Conference at Elgin, in which it took second. The strength of the team greatly depend- ed on the return of its veterans. The letter and Gold award men who returned are Adams, Fink, Kuni, Paul, and Powell. Letter men who returned are Giessler, Ptosten, and Sutherland. Men who earned their reserve monograms last year and returned are Blackwood, Curtis, Hines, and Schwartz. However, the team was well balanced with the addition oi many new men. The main body oi the team consisted ot Sinclair and Giessler in the lO0 yard and 220 yard dashes. They also ran in the relay team with Fink and Powell, who were joined by Adams in the broad jump. lt was Kindt and Powell in the high hurdles: Powell and Burkhart in the low hurdles, Paul and Anderson in the mile and halt mile: Rosten, Kirkpatrick and Schwartz in the shot. ln the discus, Rosten, and Kirkpatrick were the stars and Ostrander ran in the quarter and Atkinson took the honors vault, Sutherland, Powell, Hines the high jumpp while the relay Blackwood, while Kuni mile. Adams in the pole and Reed in team, which lost only two races the whole year, was well taken care of by Fink, Sinclair, Powell and Giessler, who ran as anchor man. The first meet oi the year was with Sulli- van High School, in which the cadets scored a grand slam of 98M to MM, on April 27th. No exceptional times were made that day due to the tact that there was a strong wind and opposition was lacking. Kuni, however, did run the 440 yard dash in 56 secgndg, St, lohn's placed first in eleven of the twelve events. On May 4th, the cadets met and defeated Elgin Academy on the latter's own field with a score of 97 to 16. The day was cold, and a steady rain fell throughout the meet, which was originally scheduled as a triangular event including Todd, which was quaran- tined. St. Iohn's placed first in every event except the half mile. Kuni made two false starts, thus disqualifying him. The broad jump, hundred yard dash, mile run, discus, and shot put were slammed by the cadets. The weather being bad, running times were slowed down and starting was very poor. May llth the cadets won over Lake Forest Academy by the small margin of l4 points. This was the stiffest competition that the cadets had met. Each team won six first places. Two slams were scored by the cadets in the shot put and high jump. Lake Forest won the relay in the time of l:39.8. On Saturday, May l8th, the cadets had their biggest meet of the year. This was at the Mid-West Prep Conference at Elgin Academy. The meet was won by Culver who scored a total of 70 points: St. Iohn's took 45, Lake Forest Academy 22, Pullman Tech 4, and Elgin came in last with two points. Weather conditions were bad that Saturday because of the cold, wet, and damp weather conditions throughout the day. The preliminaries were held in the morning in the l00 and 220 yard dashes, the low hurdles, shot put and discus. No heats were necessary for the high hurdles so the finals were run off in the morning. The mile was also held in the morning because no preliminaries were needed. St, Iohn's lost the chance of winning the 880 yard relay when Fink, St. lohn's leadoff man, was cut off at the first curve by the first man from Lake Forest's team. They were disqualified for this. The cadets took second. St. Iohn's came home with a total of l4 medals which showed that they placed in everything except the half mile. On Saturday, lune lst, the cadets went to Milwaukee, for a triangle meet with St. Francis and Edgewood Academy. The cadets won with a total of 52W points, Edgewood Academy came in second with 45 points, and St. Francis took third with 43 points. As was often the case this year, the weather was cold and cloudy throughout the day, thus the times and distances were not spectacular. Each of the competing schools took four firsts. How- ever, Edgewood Academy won the 880 yard relay in the exceptional time of l:36.5. This meet showed the value of every man who placed. As usual the Kemper-Delioven Courier Race was run off this year on lune 3rd. The weather was better than usual, thus making the track easier to run on. The Deliovens won from the Kempers, running the distance in 9257.3 seconds. The Deliovens leadoff man gained distance and every man of the team increased the lead a little and when the last Delioven crossed the finish line he was a good l00 yards ahead of the Kempers. The course was two and one half miles long, each man running one lap around the track. On lune 4th the Cross Country Race was started at the Nashotah house, and ended at the track. The contestants were taken to the starting place in a school bomber. From the DeKoven Club, Paul, Adams, Powell, and Giessler ran, and from the Kemper Club, Kuni, Lynn, Anderson, Kerner and Mullaly. The men crossed the finish line in the follow- ing order: Paul, Anderson, Kuni, Lynn, Giessler, Kerner, Powell, Adams and Mullaly. The Kempers won the race, but Paul won covering the distance in l0:54.3 seconds. For accomplishing this, Paul received the Cross Country Trophy. This year, as in the past, the Track and Field Team has proved how important team balance is. Every man took part in making the team what it was, and proved it by winning every meet and taking second in the Mid-West Prep Conference. Under the careful instructions and coaching of Capt. A. Smith and Colonel Bullman, the team was able to live up to its standards. Considering how few veterans returned from last year, Capt. Smith and Colonel Bullman took many green men and turned them into real track men by the close of the season. Many of them perfected their form in their event under the guidance of the coaches. Team balance was stressed and the importance of every place. Golf Team This year the golf team made a better showing than we expected as the golf team made an even split with which to end the year. lt seemed that hard luck was dogging their tracks when the first matches started: however by the end of the third match, the team finally had selected their regular men for the season. lt consisted of Farrell, Fowler, R. S. Wolf, Kriz, Oldenburger and Humphries. All men had never played for St. lohn's before: therefore the team operated under a slight handicap. The scores of the first match were figured by medal play, which was the only one of its type for the entire year. The score was 790 to 8l7 with the extremely strong team of Wauwa- tosa in the lead. However we were able to avenge our first loss against Wauwatosa with a 4 to l victory. After this the cadets met Hartford on our own course and handed them a 4 to l defeat. A streak of hard luck accom- panied us in our matches with Iefferson and Lake Forest to whom we lost l3 to l2 and l4 to 4 respectively. We then had a return match with Hartford. This time the match ended with a tie score of ZVQ to ZW. Following this tie and with two defeats pre- viously we were determined to win the next time and we did with two other victories im- mediately following. Our two matches against Lake Mills ended with scores of QV2 to SV2 and 9 to 6. Our other victory was against Iefferson on our own home course, the score being lO to 5. The only other loss we experienced was against the superior Lake Forest Academy who defeated us l3 to 5. Kelvyn Park suffered a loss of lOV2 to lw while we tied with St. Francis, a new opponent of St. lohns', with a score of 7V2 to 7Vz. In the conference meet at Indianapolis, St. Iohn's placed fourth and Culver placed first, however, the matches were extremely close. All in all the Academy showed fine spirit during the whole year and put forth all possi- ble effort. Much of the credit for our better than anticipated showing was due to the fine coach- ing of Shorty Merrifield. We, the team of l946, wish the best of luck to all coming teams. May they keep up the good work and may the five returning men from this year get right in there and display the determination and fine sportsmanship that was so apparent in all our l946 matches. Work hard and fight hard and with Shorty's excel- lent help and cooperation you will land right up there on top.

Accom- panying this award is the granting of many privileges which would not otherwise be en- joyed, such as being absent many formations, and the privilege ot declaring a special holi- day for himseli which excuses the wearer oi this coveted award from all duties. The club consists oi those cadets who have succeeded in obtaining the head star at some time during their stay at St. lohn's. lt is an in- active organization, holding no meetings, elect- ing no otiicers, collecting no dues, and meeting but once a year tor the sole purpose of having their picture taken for the Trumpeter. One of our cadets deserves special mention in this article, for Iames S. Brannon succeeded in attaining an average which surpassed all others . . . 99.525 . . . a real achievement. This year the members included Brannon, Lawson, Marcovich and Hedberg who suc- ceeded in winning this honor for the scholastic year of i945-46, We are indeed proud oi these boys and they are deserving oi the honors be- stowed upon them. Good luck in the future, boys. Gold and Silver Star List l945-l946 October Brannon .....,.,... ,..,.. Norlie, N. I. Lawson ,,.,.. Marcovich ,,,.... ...... Oldenburger Geiser ..,.,,,...... ......

Military rank, athletic ability or years in school have in no way any bearing on membership: it is based solely on scholastic achievement. The Cadet who during some school month received the highest average for all his sub- jects receives the head star, a gold star in a gold circle. The nine cadets who place under him receive plain gold stars while the follow- ing ten men receive silver stars. There are various privileges attached to each type of star such as permission to be absent certain formations and to remain out of the barracks an hour after taps. The only other way a cadet may become a member of this exclusive club is to receive a scholastic award for being exceptionally profi- cient in a single subject. The Dragon Club is different from the other St. Iohn's organizations, in that it is not organ- ized as are other clubs. lt has one meeting a year, but no officers are chosen and it takes no part as a club in social functions of the school. lt is simply an honorary scholastic society. Those cadets of l946 who were included in the Dragon Club's membership are certainly deserving of the honor bestowed upon them, May they attain the ultimate success and happiness which each so richly deserves. Class Officers One of the greatest tributes that can be paid to the ability, judgment and work which a cadet has put forth during his school days at St. Iohn's is to be chosen as one of the class officers. The reason this is such a coveted honor is because these officers are chosen di- rectly by their fellow classmates. Cadet Lieutenant Richard E. Guster of B Company was the class choice in one of the closest races for president in quite a few years. Three elections were necessary before a final decision was reached. The Class of 1946 has a right to feel proud of their selection as consid- erable thought was necessary in this choice. The Commencement exercises were carried through in a thorough and impressive manner for Gus' presence relieved any anxiety . . . the job would be well done. May we, your fellow classmates thank you most sincerely, Gus, for an excellent job. The selection of Cadet I. B. Lawson as Vice President was also an exceptional decision and he assisted the President as best he could which was well-nigh perfect. His aid in shouldering responsibility along with Gus made the task seem a lot lighter. When the Class decided on Harry Fink as their Class Treasurer they really knew their man. Harry had the unpleasant job of collect- ing dues. He, however, is the type of fellow who can do a job such as this and still retain his friends. You did a swell job, Harry, and the Class certainly appreciated your work. All organizations that meet in true business form must have a secretary to keep the min- utes. The election of Cadet Sgt. Macatee again brought forth careful consideration in the choice of this office, and his work only served to prove that again we had hit a bull's eye. The appointed officers of the Class of l946 were well selected. Cadet Captain john Hed- berg did a splendid job as Class Orator. john- ny has always been one of the most outstand- ing men of his class and his wonderful oration was just another achievement to add to his al- ready splendid record. Cadet Captain Daniel Rosten made one of the best prophets that we have heard in many a day. His crystal ball may not portray our futures just as they will be, but the majority of his ideas of each indi- vidual were very typical if not exactly accur- ate. As for a dator, there is only one born to each class and this individual proved to be none other than Mac Schultz of B Company. Then for the serious side of the Class Stone Exercises, the poem with the smooth rhythm and the wonderful thought was written by Cadet Supply Sgt. Bendiner. May we say Ex- cellentf' ln closing may we offer our sincere grati- tude for the pushing effort that made this class one of the most outstanding of all time. 7 , .kflfy 1, n - 4 f ,' ,N , 1. 4,4ALi.2,.,,4,2f fg, fi f 'Ls-.1 r, Q , f Jw fn? :Q-fi , fx! X Mothers' Day Mothers' Day on May 12th was another one of those memorable days at St. lohn's . . , it always is. Although the early morning was cool and threatened rain, the skies suddenly cleared and the rest of the day remained very pleasant and present was one of the largest groups of mothers in the history of St. lohn's. As each mother arrived she was greeted in the lounge by the Battalion Adjutant who presented her with a corsage and a little badge which were gifts of the Dads' Club. Dinner for cadets whose mothers were not present was served at l2:l5 P.M. and at ap- proximately l:l5 the mothers and their sons went down to the Academy Dining Room where they enjoyed an excellent meal. Gen- eral Farrand, President of the Academy, was present and officially welcomed the mothers to St. Iohn's for their annual day. The early part of the afternoon was spent in personal little chats when certain little con- fidences are exchanged. Many of the boys showed their mothers the outstanding spots on the campus, but all enjoyed just being together. First call for parade sounded at 3:40 P.M. and all the mothers were present when the Corps marched out on the drill field at 4:00 P.M. lust before time for the battalion to pass in review, the mothers were asked to line up behind the reviewing officer so that they might receive the salute of their sons. After the band played the Generals March, the mothers were honored by the special playing of Mother Machreef' Evensong in our chapel officially closed the day's events. However, there are always those last remarks, Now behave, Son, and please write more often which is always answered by Yes, Mother, I will. And another Moth- ers' Day ended with just goodbye. Memorial Day On Memorial Day, 1946, the corps of cadets, assembled on the Court of Honor, paid tribute to those men who laid down their lives, to defend this country in all its wars. A holiday was granted by General Par- rand, but to the corps it was more than a recess from drill or classes. lt was the first peacetime Memorial Day in five years. After the companies had been marched into position the academy band played the hymn Nearer, My God to Thee , which was followed by an address by Colonel Smythe. ln his dedication Colonel Smythe spoke brief- ly of the origin of Memorial Day and its sig- nificance. He paid special tribute to the sixty Old Boys of St. Iohn's who died in World War ll. Colonel Smythe also had a message for the graduating class, in which he told them to watch their Congress and to make sure it remained a representative Congress. Only this way, he continued, would freedom be maintained. After the academy band had played America , the senior captain of the corps, Captain Fink, placed a beautiful memorial wreath at the base of the flag staff. This was followed by a three volley salute by the firing squad under the command of Cadet Captain Lawson. Cadet Miszewski as bugler played taps which was echoed by Cadet Huisman, who was stationed a distance away from the gath- ering. To the Colors was then sounded by the bugle corps, and the flag was raised to the top of its staff. The Rev. M. O. Gruber, the academy chaplain, offered appropriate prayers and pronounced the benediction. The companies were then marched back to the gravel path and dismissed. After mess the cadets spent the day play- ing golf, tennis, swimming or just plain loaf- ing. After five o'clock the regular schedule was resumed and another Memorial Day passed into history, vf Cmss. or Sexvzcs SYMBOLS This is 21 full-ram D1.eDavLetter Telegram or Cable - .V p Hmm unims its de- 5 'A ' X NLmli3............k...hz m tvrred cimmccer is in- X 5 I, diem:-tl' hiv xi suitable 4 'X' l .

SERVTCF Government Inspection For the 37th consecutive year, St. Iohn's has again received the highest rating that the War Department grants to essential mili- tary schools. Through the untiring work of the Military Staff and the corps of cadets, St. lohn's once more remains one of the best prep military schools in the United States. Due to the fact that the inspection was scheduled at an earlier date than it has been in the past, allowed a shorter time for review of the theoretical and practical military work studied during the year, therefore presenting an obstacle to the Military Department. The officers directing the military work for the school have been well-accustomed to such drawbacks and arranged the review schedule in such a manner that the corps was well prepared when the important event descended on the campus and drill field. Although the actual inspection was sched- uled for the second and third of May, the inspecting officers, who were attached to the Sixth Service Command, arrived a day early to enable them to inspect the facilities of this post and observe the general appear- ance of the corps. The big day dawned warm and clear which was an indication of the perfect weather that was to come during the inspection. Good weather was a decided asset to the function- ing of this important event of the school year as most of the work is done outside. Prompt- ly at 0800 the regular inspection opened with the examination of quarters. After that phase of the inspection a review of the batallion and rifle inspection occurred. The program for the balance of the day included platoon, close order and combat formation drill, at- tack and defense field problems and an ex- amination of machine guns and light weap- ons. The first day's work was completed. The next morning the inspecting officers continued their work by conducting various tests of the corps' knowledge in the theoreti- cal military subjects. This work was com- pleted at noon, thus Government Inspection was over for another year. The remainder of the day was proclaimed a holiday which was well earned and appreciated by the cadets. Through the combined efforts of the Mili- tary Department and the corps of cadets, St. lohn's had completed another successful Government Inspection. This was evident by the telegram from the War Department an- nouncing that we had once again been se- lected as an Honor Military School. Con- gratulations, men. A.-A1495 5-is X:-is x ...,, GoVernor's Day Sixteen years ago former Governor Walter Kohler of the State of Wisconsin requested that a group of St. Iohn's cadets be allowed to accompany him to Washington to attend the inaugural services for former President Hoover. Governor Kohler was so deeply im- pressed with our boys that a day was set aside in the spring of the year which was to be known as Governor's Day. That day is now a tradition at St. lohn's. This year Governor's Day was held on May lQthg however, the program originally planned could not be carried out due to the inclement weather. About a half hour before the Honor Guard was scheduled to Fall in at the General King Gate, the rain began to fall instead. As Governor Walter S. Good- land was unable to attend this year, he sent his representative Brigadier General Alvin Kuechemeister, Adjutant General of the State of Wisconsin, who arrived about two-thirty in the afternoon, however, it was raining so hard that all our original plans fell through. General Kuechemeister went directly to the home of Lt. Col. and Mrs. C. T. Smythe in the absence of General R. F. Farrand. The rain continued all through the remainder of the day and it was therefore necessary to call off the parade scheduled for that after- noon as the parade grounds were much too muddy. General Kuechemeister remained at Colonel Smythe's home until it was necessary for him to return to his duties in Madison which was later in the afternoon. This is the second year in succession when the elements interfered with all our plans: but l guess there are some things over which we have no control. Let us hope that things will be different next year. Swaggerstick Club Membership in the Swaggerstick Club, one of the oldest organizations on the St. lohn's campus, is limited to those cadets who have participated in any play during the current year or who have been on the stage crew for such a play. The Club holds no regular meetings and elects no officers. Because only one play was presented this year, the group is smaller than usual. This year's production, Sleeping Dogs, was presented on Sunday, February 17, dur- ing the Mid-Winter week-end. lt was directed by Lieut. I. Warren Perry in connection with his speech classes. The scene of the play was the living room of the Sloane's bungalow at about nine o'clock on a morning in spring when Mrs. Sloane, ably portrayed by lack Stiles, was trying to complete her spring house-cleaning. All Ned Sloane, whose part was so capably portrayed by Daniel Bosten, was interested in was finding his fishing trousers so he could join the boys on a week-end excur- sion. loe Phillips, played by George W. Harris, was the henpecked husband whose wife, lohn B. Lawson, told him he'd much rather help houseclean than fish. All the housecleaning was interrupted when Miss Price, an inquiring reporter, whose part was well played by William P. Thomas, knocked on the Sloane's door to ask if Mrs. Sloane was happy' with her husband. By the time she left, Mrs. Sloane wasn't sure if she was or not- and the trousers were still missing. All's well that ends well-eand when the boys stop by to pick up Ned, they bring him his trousers which have been in the back of the car since the last fishing trip. The play was a success and was well at- tended. Each person was excellent in his characterization and special credit should go to them all as well as to the production staff, Cadets Eugene Balsley, LeRoy lmbrie, lohn Lindstrom and Peter Schwaba. Lieut. Perry felt well rewarded for the long hours he put into coaching the Swaggerstick Club's only pro- duction this year, and the cast felt equally rewarded, not only by the contribution they made to the success of the Mid-Winter, but also for the dramatic training they received. Scene from Swaggersticlc Club's Midwinter Play Informal Dances For years St. lohn's has not had the ade- quate facilities to sponsor informal week-end dances, however with the purchase of the St. lohn's Club we now have a suitable place for the enjoyment of this very pleasant recreation. Under the able guidance of Miss Nota lean Magers many informal dances are spon- sored by the Corps and many by individual companies. Each time such an affair was held, a decorating committee was appointed to give the Club a more festive effect. The Milwaukee-Downer Seminary always offered the utmost cooperation in allowing many of their students to come out for the evening and thereby contribute to the good times that were had by all. ln return the Seminary often countered with an invitation to their informal dances in Milwaukee and with the proper chaperonage a group of cadets boarded the buses and were off for a good and pleasant time. All this added more to the enjoyment of the St. lohn's cadet. As you know, no dance is complete with- out a good and proficient swing band. We were fortunate in having an especially good band under the able leadership of Cadet l-luisrnan and therefore there was nothing left to be requested. All of us certainly appreciated the pur- chase of the St. Iohn's Club and as year after years passes, l am sure that the popularity of it will be on the upgrade. We, the Class of 1946, are only sorry that these little gather- ings are now a thing of the past. CUMMENCEMENT 194 4 10,11 CADET LIEUTENANT RICHARD EVANS GUSTER Class President 156 Class President's Address General Farranol, Fellow Classmates, and Guests: The greatest of all English poets wrote: All the worlds a stage, And all the men and Women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. These lines seem particularly appropriate to us tonight, for Sunday noon the curtain will rise on the performance for which we have been rehearsing these last twelve years. Through the Argonne Gate we shall emerge to make our entrance upon the stage of life, where each one of us will either meet with success or failure as does any actor. There, then, lies this future, but before we enter it, let us pause a moment on this, the eve of our graduation, and take our bearings. Since we entered St. lohn's as new cadets, we have looked forward to that day when we would stand as first classmen, ready and eager to try our luck in the game of life. Then, to us, our graduation seemed as far distant as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. During the past few years we have climbed, sometimes wearily, that long, steep arc of our preparation and at last, today, we are stand- ing at that goal. We imagined then that nothing but a sensation of happiness and elation would be ours when We reached that objective. But now, my fellow classmates, we have found that this pot of gold does not hold all that we hoped it would. With all the happiness of graduation comes that startling realization that we are about to say farewell to the fellows we have learned to love as brothers. ln them we have found our true and life long friends. We have known their virtues and their shortcomings. ln the various athletic events, we have seen just what kind of sports- men they are. On the football field, working as one, they gave their all to win the game. They combined their strength and the will to Win as they came up from behind to win a crew race. ln that basketball game when defeat seemed imminent, they came forth with that final effort to achieve victory for their school. Even in defeat, they displayed the qualities of good sportsmen. When performing experiments in the classroom, they revealed their ingenuity and common sense. Then there were the nights spent together asking each other questions about the next day's assignments. Even going on last car and week-end leaves and having fun to- gether. Ah yes, we have known them in their moods and under all conditions of elation and depression. When downcast and in need of consolation, we have found them ever ready to help us out. Truly then while we have been here we have learned the true meaning of friend, These fellows have verified the definition, l once heard, of a friend. He is one that you can laugh and cry with, work and play with, sin and pray with. Although we have finished our rehearsal and are about to make our entrance upon the stage of life, We think of those of you who are still learning your partsg you who in future years will be standing where we are standing tonight. To you we say, work hard. Take your lessons to heart. At times these re- hearsals will seem long and tedious, but do not let down. Always strive for perfection, so that when your time comes to go on this stage, you will be sure of yourselves. Well, that's about all, fellow classmates. All too soon now we shall go forth to make our performance upon life's stage. Let us practice the lessons we have learned. Let us play our parts well, so that when we report to our Great Commander on that final day, l-le may say to each one of us, Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Farewell, my classmates, until We meet again. Farewell, and God bless you all.

B. Kemper Medal awarded to that cadet who succeeds in presenting the best all-around appearance and who demon- strates his ability in drill far above that of his classmates. A cadet must always be on the alert and carry out each command with 1 CADET PRIVATE WILLIAM OLDENBUBGEB extreme minute precision. And when twenty- one cadets spend every spare moment prac- ticing for this event one can easily imagine the excitement and anticipation that is present on the final day, This year the competition took place on Friday morning, lune l4th. Twenty-one cadets lined up before the iudges ready to demon- strate to the best of their ability their level- headedness and correctness in carrying out the different commands. From A Company Cadets Adams, Kindt and Byder had been selected. B Company had chosen Cadets Fink, Guster and B. E. Smith. C Company was represented by Cadets Bosch, Probst and Schwaba. D Com- pany sent forth Cadets N. Norlie, T. Smith and Weiser. Cadets Ming, Cldenburger and Bice were selected in E Company. Fighting F had chosen Cadets Dowse, Regas and Tidball while Cf Company had decided upon McArthur, Prescott and Vaselopulos as repre- sentatives. The cadets who were not drilling stacked rifles in front of the stands and sat in the bleachers with friends and relatives. As Lt. Col. Smythe marched on the field each cadet in the stands cheered the contestants from his company hoping for victory. The commands seemed easy at first and were simply executed but as time progressed and more cadets were eliminated, the commands became more difficult and the competition became more and more keen. Finally all the contestants were elimi- nated except four. Bemaining were Cadets Ft. E. Smith, Ming, Weiser and Oldenburger. After the execution of more difficult commands by these masters in the art of drilling, halt was called. The Corps and guests present left the field not knowing who the winner would be in such a close competition. The doubt was dispelled on Sunday morning, lune l6th when the I. B. Kemper Medal for the best drilled cadet was awarded Cadet Private William Oldenburger of Com- pany Second and third places went to Cadets Weiser of D and Smith of B Com- pany respectively. oh. oAr4A.-N Q T.

Presentation of Class Memorial General Farrand, Members ol the Faculty, Alumni and Guests: We, the members of the Class oi l946, are approaching the last day when we shall stand on this campus as cadets. Soon we will be gone and only the memories of our years here will be left to us. Needless to say, they will be very real memories to us, memories of the spirit oi our class. lt is then, in part, to perpetuate that memory and spirit, that we have chosen this memorial to our class. We, at the same time, wish to leave some token to express our appreciation tor the many things which we have received from St. lohn's. To acomplish this two-told purpose we have chosen to build a gate to be known as the Forty-six Gate which will stand on the stairway facing Hazelwood Hall and the new l-limes Memorial. lt is our hope that by this act the name oi our class and the memories connected with it may not be torgotten by those who follows us. General Farrand, l would like to present this check to you on behalf ot our class to be used for the construction of the Forty-six Gate as soon as conditions may permit. 195 Ca..-e. . ow, . ,...,. to Cadet Lieutenant Andrew I Smith Class of 1947, at the Class Stone Athletic Awards 1945-1946 WINNER TRACK MEET-lst Class lBloodgood Medal!

Since this is so, I trust that I may be forgiven for dwelling a bit upon dear me- mories which may only increase that deep- seated uneasiness all of us feel as we realize the truth in the proverb: To leave is to die a little. And, classmates, we are, each of us, dying a little tonight as we prepare to bid the final good-bye to all those things which in the past four years have endeared themselves to us, the campus-its vine-clad buildings, its courts, and its gardens-the classes, both military and scholasticp athletic activities: our individual companies: and, above all, the indestructible friendships made here. Yes, we are dying a little, we are losing cherished associations, we are leaving some- thing of ourselves here, yet we are better equipped, more fit to cope with the uncer- tainties of life in a chaotic world than we were when we came. Look! Over there stands Kemper Hall, a simple, beautiful building, a symbol of the many lessons we have learned at St. Iohn's. The memory of Kemper, whose dormer win- dows have for decades kept guard over the quadrangle in which walk the spirits of many generations of St. Iohn's men, will ever challenge us to apply wisely the basic truths we have learned there. Now that our classes at St. Iohn's are over -now that the absolute finality of those last exams is upon us, we look back and wonder how we could have failed, so short a time ago, to comprehend the deeper meaning those same classes were so soon to hold for us. Yes, we realize now the value of those long, often tedious hours spent in class. In spite of ourselves, we learned: and, as a result, with each building are associated ex- periences and priceless lessons which will serve to guide and steady us in those in- evitable difficult times which lie ahead. On the field of sports, and in company activities, too, we've made our gains. Even as we relaxed and played together, drilled for those competitions, developed our bodies, made ourselves more physically fit, we were learning. Our understanding of life and human nature was enlarged, we learned sportsman- ship, and it was borne in upon us that no venture can be successful without coopera- tion and teamwork. Cooperation has not been difficult here, for in our undertakings we have dealt, not with mere acquaintances but with friends, true friends. Or should I say brothers? Per- haps the latter more accurately defines that relationship we hold so dear. But what matter what we call this spirit, this combina- tion of understanding and sentiment which is so complex that mere words are powerless to describe it? W'hat is more important is that such a feeling is present deep within us, is so sacred to us that we cannot bear to say more about it. All these things which I have tried to recall are the components of a spirit, a spirit of which we, each and every one of us, has become more and more aware as the days lengthened into weeks, the weeks into months, the months into yearsp and now we are about to depart, take leave of our friends, our old haunts, our school. Yet as we go there is something we cannot take with us, something of ourselves which has become an integral part of St. Iohn's, a part which in future years we shall come back to reclaim but which we have lost. The stone around which we are gathered is the everlasting memorial to that part of ourselves which we are leaving here. It shall forever represent our contribution to the spirit of St. Iohn's. And so, fellow classmates, as each of us dies a little, let us not tarryp but let us pay our final tribute to our school in these words: School of our fathers, known of old, Our alma mater we revere We give thee loyalties untold We love thee more and more each year. And when sweet memories of thee return Of lessons learned, of friendships made Thy spirit in our hearts doth burn We face the future unafraid. W I N N E R S CADET CAPTAIN IOHN B LAWSON COLOR SERGEANT DONALD C MATTES Order of The Vtfhlte Rose Order of The White Rose Class Poem My fellow classmates, how well l know That only our hearts can speak our mind. The stream of our joys has stopped its flow And in its place, it is tears we find. The time is approaching when we must part, Tho' our hearts cry out, Let us linger awhile' But each must go with a heavy heart And hide the ache with a quip or a smile. We'Ve worked together as one strong team So confident all of the final score. And that we'll recall like a happy dream When we remember the days of yore. But we'll meet our C. O. on that last great day So never have fear of the tasks ahead! Remember to work, to play and to pray, And the road to success we shall surely tread Ah! Yes, my classmates of old St. Iohn's, Tho' sorrow replaces our erstwhile bliss Now and forever, we'll carry on! 'Til His final order comes, Dismissed!

Whitcup Class Dator General Farrand, Guests, Members of the Faculty t especially those accrediting the Class of '46 with diplomasl: Before commencing with a little bit of fun- nery, I'd like to thank the committee for dis- regarding the one hundred other contestants and choosing me for Class Dator. W'hat a chance, my classmates, what a chance! I pledge to you on the committee I'll try my best in persuading some member of '46 to enter this, ah, arena. I would like to warn those who do arrive here, at my selected post, that a sniper, Don't Miss the Mark Kindt is in the trees prepared to shoot. I have to have respect for my own self-preser- vation. Ah, yes, the beginning has begun, Friday, the fourteenth, is here. In order to carry on more efficiently I need an assistant. This assistant must be courageous, be able to carry out quick commands and in a large sense have the full qualifications of Robinson Crusoe's man Friday. There being such a one in the class, I call upon Good Intentions Lindt. Iohn, come forward. It certainly is a pleasure having you up with me. If you'll just take this scarlet pillow and sit on it with the appearance of a man from India. Here is a candle and candle stick holdery use it in case of another coal strike. In front of me is a list compiled by two outstanding men of the campus, Professors P. T. Giessler and D. E. Smith, noted for advice to women. At the top of the list we find their choice for the l946 Casanova, Van johnson, and lover of St. Iohn's. His name is none other than Red Smith. Come up here, Smitty. As he strides toward me, girls, get a quick glimpse of the perfect Greek God. Now, Bob, we all know and hope you will be leaving the campus, with a diploma, but just what are certain girls of the campus going to do? Well, I've seen to it that you won't be forgotten. If you'll just take this over to Major jacques, I think he'll find a suitable place to hang it. Wait, you're not done yet. just below your name can be found two other men, known for the great exhibit of the human body on and off the tennis court. If Profile Palmer and Legs Stiles will direct themselves to- ward here, boys, I have a demand per- formance. But wait-you also need a bit of artistic music for any beauty show. A war- bler, a Frank Sinatra, or Melcam Lawrence, do we have one. Yes, Defile Fink, come and give out with your vocal organs. DG- file, by request of Colonel Smythe, sinq BLUE SKIES. Thank you boys. What is this, a sad face? Now don't fret, Stan Vegors, you can still study. This boy is a true Einstein. Come up, my boy, and begin work at this acquired desk with all the con- veniences of Major Hegner's classroom. Iohn, give him your candle for better light. Now begin learning, Einstein. While our hero of bookworms carries on, there is a certain character just hoping I'll miss his name. In fact, he has had me almost swear my life away to be able to just live. Now the tables change, and the light falls on not just him but two of his baseball buddies besides. Yes, Dan, come and make your debut. Bring with you Lou Gehrig Ras- mussen and Bob Feller Harris. You'll need all the support possible. Here are your chances for fame in the basball circle. You might even call it an elimination contest. See these three objects. Carry them throughout the au- dience and shout out their values and objec- tives. You see, the fame in the ball park is working as a vendor in Wrigley Field. Now see, Dan, it could have been worse. If you're hot, just cool off at johnny Iohnson's Grand Coulee Dam. If one has a very imaginative mind, one could almost view G Company as a very small group of saplings in among large oaks. Well, anyway, in this sapling collection can be found a twig. This twig is known to all of the campus as Leo Accountant Korona. If you were here every day to watch this busy character, you would see him dash to the im- provised Cadet Store and return within a sec- ond with the Chicago Tribune. As he runs, he quickly scans the comic strips, and upon opening the door to Hazelwood, he trips down the stairs to the debit and credit department. This ritual has attracted many for, kidding aside, he does his own work. It never fails Leo has a very good average in Accounting. As the Shadow, a favorite of mine puts it, Evil lurks in the hearts of men. It does, Leo, in my opinion. I only get an eighty. Take and locate your professor and give him this final Tribune as an end to the perfect paper- boy. Class of '46, last night was in many minds Medals' Night. Tonight, to you, is going to be Memento Night. In this bag beside me are all sorts of gifts purchased from all over the nation. Believe it or not tonight, after much speculation, a package arrived from Florida. There is a rather notable story that goes with it. After Christmas, one of our number failed to return. He was sick, supposedly, but only now has the fact been known. Our class mem- ber had turned explorer. You know this ad- venturer as Guard the Car Meyer. The story begins across the street from Pot Potter's house in the Everglades. He trudged through this heat ridden jungle Cheat was due to the fact that the McKinley Gusher had eruptedl: deeper and still deeper he went. In a clearing he had a sunstroke. He saw a mirage and under a banana tree he guessed he saw Never You Wake Mattes reclining. Again another vision took form. Seated at a desk was a young man staring at his pencil. He had no lead for it to enable him to write. It was Pencil Norlie. A loud crashing effect, a large animal was headed straight for Guard Your Car. He Bob O Leba, it was the voice of Peg Your Pants Reed and his assistant, Iazzman LaRose swinging out. It was all a dream. Guard Your Car had been sleeping. I overheard his account of this fierce animal and so becoming interested, I consulted Indian and Animal Dealer Friske. He told me that indeed there was such an animal. l immediately sent to Florida and this-is the result. Terror of Oak Park, Don Bulldog Bal- dock, come and receive your package. First, Don, you're the type new boys idolize- rugged and much like Tarzan. So here is a genuine Tarzan skin. That's it, model the garment. Here is a muscle bar and for your tame ape, so often seen with Tarzan, we have Hair Restorer Livingston. Now just give out with a Tarzan yelp as you make the circumference of the circle. Thank you, Bull- dog and Hair Restorerf' Adams, to you speed is THE THING. You used speed on the track and tried using it one May night. However, to no avail, your record was permanently marred by Special Order 80, so here is a little pamphlet. Read it over carefully. By the way, when you're through, give it to Zebra Lawson. He would be interested in the chapter about speeding to rooms after O. D. inspections. How about that, G. L? Tonight, after much deliberation, Colonel Smythe has given me a leave of absence and a medal to present to two cadets. The order that accompanies the medal reads: BY DIRECTION OF, AND AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION BY, COLONEL SMYTHE AND MAIORS HEGNER AND FLETCHER, AND WITH UNANIMOUS ACCLAIM OF DR. BARNES, CADET P. F. C. SAMUEL EADIE IS AWARDED THE PRIZE HOSPITAL MEDAL. So Sam, if you'll unwrap those long legs of yours, here is the medal and order. Again after much consideration of a board, it has found that the one cadet most suited for a leave and one who deserves a rest is Honk the Nose Fabian. So Fabe, here is a leave entitling you to six extra days stat- ing they begin Iune l6. If the representative from Greece, Pete Bendiner Pledgedu Vaselopulos, will blow this bugle-Pete, blow Iockies Up , not for Cox's horses but for a certain ceremony, I'd like to make the junior Birdman Award. Yes, our class has its amount of Eddie Ricken- backers. Future Pilots Monocope Hawn, Propeller Blade Greener and Co-Pilot Schwartz, front and center. To qualify you to wear wings such as these, it takes landings and take-offs. If you will all assume a plane and give us the thrills you encounter by ver- bal noise, you will all become qualified Sen- ior Birdmen. Thank you, Air Force. Like many in the graduating class, our illustrative president, Gustness Guster, has chosen the field of medicine to be his goal. Now knowing you'll need experience in sur- gery, I have arranged for you to perform an operation. If Conference Track Powell and Set the Pace Kerner will get the stretcher, we can proceed. john Hedberg, take advice, the patient we bring tonight stayed up once too often. Itch McDevitt, come hither. Give aid to the sick. Now, Gustness, just re- move his heart. You see, Lieut. Wigginton needs another frog's heart for display. It won't bite. All it is is a pickled frog. Well, friends, we have had some laughs at and with the Class of '46, but you know how it is. Sometimes when we bid a friend good- bye, we fill the time as we wait for the in- coming train with jokes and idle persiflage just to cover up our real feeling over a parting we would like to avoid. That's what I've been doing for the last ten minutes, but my time is drawing to a close, and sadly and in all sincerity, l'd like to say farewell to you all, the finest bunch of guys ever under one roof. Good-bye and God bless you. Class Prophecy General Farrand, Fellow Classmates, and Guests: When our class officers met a few weeks ago to choose the rest of the class officers, someone suggested that they ask The Gypsy to be class prophet because as you all know, she can Iook in the future and drive away all your fears. But she couIdn't quite make it tonight, so I was selected for the job. Tough luck for you, boys. But here it is, Iune I6, I966, and I've just gotten back from a tour of our great nation on which I went to see how and what my classmates of '46 were doing. This trip was made possible through the courtesy of Major Paul Peter Hegner who thoughtfully rode me around on the handlebars of his very cher- ished bicycle. I'm also indebted to CAL MCKINLAY who kept the Major's tires pumped up with his special brand of hot air. I came to Delafield to get the Major and his bike. I was surprised at the number of St. Iohn's men who held jobs at the Old School. BOOB EABIAN had taken over the job as president. He had moved a soda fountain into his office and was serving IACK UNCLASSIFIED STILES, the Commandant of Cadets, Seagrams Cuckoo Cola. UN- CLASSIFIED told me of his plan to have slot machines installed to pay off in extra duty instead of money. Across the hall I could see DEAN GEORGE KERNER washing his false teeth. With him was the new Personnel Officer, lack S. Hoff. Walking across the campus toward Knight I4 I saw SHORTY GRASSOLOPULOS who gave me a bawling out for walking on his livelihood. You see, Pete is now the Super- intendent of Grounds. I went downstairs to get P. P. and his bike. After a shaky start, we rode over to the new boy drill field where the cornerstone for the new gym and field house was now being laid. There we saw I. B. LAWSON building the new archway which twenty years before his class had de- cided to give as a class gift. On the other side of the new boy drill field, FOWZER, COLSON and GREENER were selling airplane rides to Oconomowoc and Milwaukee. This was the age of the airbound A. W. O. L. Ralph told me that he had heard that GENE T, M. BALSLEY was now Dean of Women at Milwaukee Downer with HARD- NOSE BILL THOMAS as assistant. Looking towards Scott Iohnston I could see FRISKE with his new five hundred power field glasses. He was standing in the window looking toward the Lerch household. Of course, I hated to leave the 'Old School so soon but I had a long trip ahead. As we rode out on the road in front of KinQ's Row, I saw SPADE PULLIAM pushing a roller on the tennis courts. I noticed that he still had on his shower room wedgies. As he waved, one of his toes fell off. just before we got to the beautiful village of Delafield, we saw a long line of cars. We followed the line to the end and there was IOHN THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE SOUTH ADAMS selling tickets to the evening show of his own Drive-In Theatre. john said that business was fine because it was such a long drive to Milwaukee movies. Since Adams had mentioned Milwaukee, we decided to go there. It was a long pull for the Major, but with my help we finally made it. Once we were in the center of town, I looked around for signs of my classmates, and sure enough, there staring me right in the face was a sign which read, After three lessons, joe Bonomo's Body-Building Course will make you look like this. And there be- side it, in three colors, was our old friend, STICK KINDT. On the other side of the billboard was BEARGREASE HINES who was the before in the vaseline hair tonic advertisement. Having our fill of the town that made Schlitz famous, we journeyed down to Chi. Good old Chicago. I knew that I'd see a lot of my boys there. And sure enough, I did. Our first stop in the Windy City was the City Hall where I found ARTHUR FREDERICK ALBERT II was mayor. His right hand man was IUDGE PETER SCHWABA who had gotten his start in poli- tics on the spittoon concessions in the City Hall. I heard that RABBI BENNY BENDINER was speaking at Bughouse Square on the subject of Honor. Riding down South State Street, we ran into LEO GOLDBLATT'S KORONA, selling neckties. We left him but not before the Nose had sold P2 a gross of bow ties with purple polka dots. Further on down the street our attention was drawn to a truck which said, HIOHN BEVIER PETERS LUMBER COMPANY. Pete himself was busily carrying sacks of sawdust into a dinky little bakery shop. Upon investigating, we found our little baker boy, RALPH SOM- PLOTCHECKH pouring sawdust into a mixer full of bread dough. His assistant, WILL KUNI stopped shortchanging the customers long enough to shake my hand. I walked out counting my fi1'1Q9TS- We headed toward the west side of the citY, Where we saw BRIGGS POWDER PUFFH PALMER who was still corresponding with Princeton about their accepting his applica- tion. We also ran into DON BALDOCK who had Qiotten a job with Bell Telephone so he could keep close contact with his old man. Prom the west side we headed north. On the way we saw LINDSTROM and VEGORS who were installing lightning rods on outhouses. When we left, the Major and Stan were still comparing slide rules. We fthe Major, that is? peddled down the road and soon found ourselves in Highland Park. There we saw WARD MACKENZIE SCHULTZ, under the direction of PINHEAD RASMUSSEN, still trying to complete the model airplane that he had begun when we were classmates at St. Iohn's twenty years before. When the Pinhead saw me, he tried to get me the educational movies that he had promised to show me in l946. Schultz told me that his occupation was mirror testing. I asked him what that was and he said, Oh, I just look in 'em and if they don't crack, they will withstand P. P.'s friendly smile or any other catastrophic force. At the lake shore we saw WHY CAN'T I GET INTO COLLEGE MC DEVITT. He told us that he was part of the crew on a lakeboat Venus, and as he walked away he was sing- ing, Oh, the first mate's name was Lester. On the lake we saw G. I. IOHN LINDT who was now coaching his own crew team. Said Iohn, and I quote, This way I'll be sure of a seat on ALL the trips. In Waukegan we saw IERRY HEMO IENKINSON in his new drug store. Ienk told me that he saw a lot of B. O. TIDBALL. B. O. was selling a new brand of deodorant. While in the drugstore, we heard an argu- ment down the street. We investigated the matter, only to find that IIM HERBERT had just told PLOW NOSE KRCILEK that Pat had gone ahead and married someone else because peddling papers kept him away from home too much. By taking the wrong road, we discovered that P. P. had piloted us to Canton, Ohio. In Canton. we stumbled over TAPEWORM GUSTER. He pointed to the undertaking es- tablishment which he ran with our favorite color sergeant, DIMM DON MATTES. They had worked out a perfect harmony because Mattes said nothing and Gus did nothing. Gus said the only bad part of the business was that everyone came in stiff. On the outskirts of Canton, we met HANK DON'T HIT ME AGAIN MA-CARDYH PRES- COTT thumbing his way east, wondering if his girl in New York was still waiting. In no time at all we were at Niagara Falls. As we peddled up to the fabulous vacation 2 land, we came upon THE MR. AND MRS. RED SMITH, sitting comfortably in the rear of a luxurious, leaping Brown Bomber. And who should be chauffeuring the excursion but SPENDING SAM, THE WHEEL MAN, EADIE. Mrs. Smith looked very familiar, but I didn't bother to inquire. As we gazed upon the splendorous falls, we saw PETTIT BLOW HARD MACATEE, literally shooting his top as he tried in vain for a kiss from relentless Phoebe. From the falls we went to West Point. There we noticed IUSTIN NOW LOOK HERE IOHNSON and IIM BUTTON THAT COLLAR NORLIE steaming up the Hudson in a man powered row boat. Waiting on the dock to greet them was HUNTER I'LL BE A GENERAL YET PASSMORE. Pass told me that he had heard that N. I. N. had opened a pencil factory in New Orleans, thereby kill- ing two birds with one stone. Upon bidding the boys good-bye, we mounted pontoons on the Peep's bike and peddled downstream to the city of the Great White Way. It was here we met HOP- ALONG HARRY PINK. He was modeling for Dick Tracy's new character, Lantern law. Proceeding to Yankee Stadium, we found GEORGE PIREBALL HARRIS who drove the women crazy with the extra motion he put in his pitching. That evening we went to the theatre where the Mexican peasant Leon's Irish Rose was playing. In between acts, HONKER HED- BERG was plugging next week's play, I'll Get You Yet, Nota. As we prepared to leave for Pittsburgh, we saw the great poet, SOL LIVINGSTON who was chasing tsetse flies in Central Park. Upon nearing the Smoky City we ran across the Coal Dust Twins, TUTHILL and MECKEL, buying Lava Soap from DIRTY OLD ED OESTERREICH. Before long we were in Oklahoma City where we met CHILLS NOBLE chasing sheep. He was now a connoisseur of leg structure. At this point my good chauffeur was too tired to go any farther and as walking was against my better judgment, I called COLO- NEL STILES who leased DAVE REED who was still walking off his hours, to carry me back to that beautiful village of Delafield. Well, fellows, I guess that's all we have time for tonight. It's all been in fun and I'm sure there are no hard feelings. All the ex- periences that have made this prophecy pos- sible make it hard to say the final word. Good-bye gang. That's a contraction of the phrase, God be with you -and that's what I'm thinking as I say it. Good-bye and God bless you all. lO. Music --------- S poolcs Parade Class Stone Exercises l.

Pressman Alfred O. Herbruger I une Company Competition p Each year there are three contests which arouse the true competitive spirit in the hearts of the St. lohn's Corps: The Ivanhoe, Crack Platoon and the lune Competition for the Cren- eral King Cup. C Company had won the lvanhoe Cup, taken first and third place in the Crack Platoon contest and was endeavor- ing to do the impossible, so to speak. No one company had ever won every drill com- petition. This was C Company's golden opportunity to add another first to her long string of victories. On lune l5th, the Competition started at 9:45 on a cloudy Saturday morning. By the time C went on exhibition it was pouring rain. Instead of dampening their spirits, it brought them added spirit. They remembered the year before when C won the King in a drizzle: they remembered too, the previous three times it rained the day of the competi- tion because C had won them too. How could a company with such a background, such a spirit and such a future lose. Then C took to the drill field with such precision and steadiness that Captain Hed- berg who was commanding, was confident we would win. The reason this competition is so important is because in addition to the General King Cup there are twenty-five points towards the Efficiency Cup which is the most important and the biggest single award any company can win. Needless to say after winning all three competitions, C won the Efficiency Cup too. Finally Sunday morning at the Literary ex- ercises they announced that first place had gone to Second place was awarded to G Company while 'B Company placed third. Captain Hedberg then went up to the stage and received the cup for the best drilled company at St. lohn's. t sy , t Q Numb I hgwuf M Literary Exercises Procession ----- - Class ot l946 and Faculty Cadet Marshalls CFrom the Second Classl Music Oration Oration Music Oration Oration Music Oration Music Cadet Lieutenant Carl William Laystrom Cadet Lieutenant Andrew Ioseph Smith Cadet First Sergeant Roger Earl Stangeland - - - - - - - - St. Iohn's Cadet Band - - - - - - - - Peace, Perfect Peace Cadet Lieutenant Richard Evans Guster Canton, Ohio - - - - - - - - Unity Builds America Cadet Private lst Class George William Harris Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - - - - - - - - St. Iohn's Cadet Band - - - - - - - - The Crisis of the Atomic Age Cadet Staff Sergeant William Henry Kuni, Ir.
