Thus be- gan an association with St. Iohn's that has lasted nearly half a century! ln 1949, Hewit Blair Iacques, now Major Iacques, retired because of his health. Those who have been most closely associated with Major Jacques for many, many years had all but forgotten his first name! To them, Major Iacques has always been George . There is an old saying, used when a difficult job is to be done - let George do it! As a teacher and executive at St. lohn's, Major Jacques was George , the man who always cheerfully accepted the most difficult, the most arduous, the most thankless jobs! F or over forty years, Major Iacques Worked tirelessly for the Old School and the Corps of Cadets! In the true sense of the Word, Major Iacques has not, nor ever Will, retire. The spirit that gave him the nickname George could never retire. Although his familiar, cheerful, friendly face is no longer seen in the halls of St. Iohn's, his spirit is there as strong as ever. His devotion and loyalty can never be retired - Major lacques will always be a part of St. Iohn's. To George - to Major lacques - scholar, teacher, gentleman, St. Iohn's Man, We respectfully dedicate this 1950 edition of the St. Iohn's Trumpeter. if fffkaffhfz . ii? 1 5 X' 'S N .Q , I ?cwzcmd Wall Qqmncwdam 'mf X ' X Smqlde Wa!!

Normandy Chicago, Illinois General Farrand receives Birthday Gift from the Corps 55 61644 UWM of 1950 'One of the most coveted and respected positions that can loe attained at St. Iohn's is that of a Class Officer. These positions are reached only by attaining the majority vote of your fellow classmates in the an- nual elections that are held each spring. After a very close and spirited campaign, the exalted honor of President was voted into the capable hands of Cadet Captain Frederick A. Alders. This is an honor which ranks high among those any cadet may receive at the Academy. The office of Vice President was filled very ably indeed by Cadet Lieutenant Blakely. The office of Secretary was voted to Cadet Lieutenant Stolz, and that of Treasurer to Cadet Lieutenant Eckardt. To these afore mentioned cadets falls the task of making arrangements for Commence- ment Week. The collection of class dues, the orderly meetings of the class, the selec- tion of the memorial for the school, arrange- ments for the Commencement Hop, and the purchase of the Class Stone, the setting of which is a true St. Iohn's tradition, all must be looked after and the business of the class put in order. The elected officers are augmented by four appointive officers who take part in the Commencement program. This year the task of being Class Orator was handled by Cadet Captain Mittenthal, and his oration pre- sented at the evening of Class Stone was an excellent piece of Work. The task of writing the poem for the class fell to Cadet Lieutenant Hochmuth, and the applause re- ceived after his rendition speak for them- self. lf in our daily Work We could have a dream like the prophet of the class of 1950, this world would be a Utopia unlike any the ancient prophets ever realized, and Cadet Private lst Class Zachry performed an excellent piece of work. The evening's fun-maker, or dator, as the book would say, was no other than our friend, Cadet Supply Sergeant Alper, and Buddy certainly sup- plied one and all with a glorious addition to all of the sidelights of St. lohn's life. To these men of the Class of l95U, who have so ably fulfilled these duties for us, go our heart-felt thanks. Anstett Boshwit Cuneo Edquist Habeck Holle, S. E.

'7!w Pwpfi The Preparatory Department has consisted of the eighth grade only for the past few years, but this year the seventh grade was included which necessitated a wider scope in the curriculum, aims, and objectives so that adequate preparation could be made ior higher education. This responsibility is the primary aim of the Department with the realization that the subject matter included in the curriculum must be presented in such a manner that the students can absorb and apply it, not only in their preparation tor higher education, but in their everyday lives as well. This responsibility constantly con- tronts the instructors because ot the close association between pupil and teacher, and it is surprising what can be achieved with this aim in mind. lt is felt that comprehen- sion in reading and clarity ot ideas in speech and writing are important tools in obtaining the desired results in preparation. Scholastic preparation, even though it is the principle objective, is not enough in it- self. Social lite and rigid routine are very important objectives that must not be over- looked. The Preps learn, through guidance and experience, the rules of fair play and do set up a code of ethics among themselves. Because of close contact with one another, they learn to lead and be led, without which an organization could not function properly and as a unit. The routine set up by St. Iohn's teaches the boys to allot their time in such a manner that they form the habit of providing a schedule for work in an orderly manner, play that is healthful and recreational, and prayer which is so essential in the develop- ment of the all around boy. With these aims in mind, it is felt with confidence that the boys of the Preparatory Department are re- ceiving what it takes to pave the way for the ultimate in life. Organization within the Department is ex- pressed by the fact that the eighth grade has formed a club called the Iota Sigma which meets once a week. Frequently they have had speakers from the faculty who talked about things of interest and value. The Preps elect their own officers once a month, thus learning the procedures of meet- ings and the basic workings of a democracy. The seventh graders are looking forward to entering into the club next year. Those of the eighth grade who expect to receive certificates graduation day are Anderson, A., Bird, M. I., Burr, E. F., Hawes, H. S., Hirsch, C. S., MacDonald, D.C., Manta, L. I., Muir, R. I., Plout, D. I., Smith, N. C., Snyder, T. E., Stutz, A. H., and Young, L. A.

On their shoulders rested the task of turning young, untrained boys into soldierly and informed young men. Their work never ceasedp from the opening of school in September until the last formation in june, they were busy. The Military Staff is headed by General Farrand, the President of the Academy, Whose constant vigilance keeps the cadets on their toes. Lieutenant Colonel Smythe is the Commandant of Cadets. He and his assistant, Captain Lerch, are never too pre- occupied to lend a helping hand and a bit of advice to those who need it. Lieutenant Colonel Higgens, Professor of Military Sci- ence and Tactics, is the man responsible for planning and carrying out the military classes and drills. He is assisted by Lieuten- ant Coleman. These are the men who keep St. Iohn's in direct contact with the Army and its requirements for government inspection. Besides these men in the regular army, St. Iohn's had on the Military Staff retired and reserve officers who taught military science classes during the year and assisted with various drills and ceremonies. These men who did much to better our military standing were Lieutenant Colonel Fierke, Major Hegner, Major Rafoth, Major Croft, Captain Kopp, Captain Trapp, and Lieuten- ant Devonald. To this group belongs or major part of the credit that the Corps enjoys. lt is inevitable that the praise from a layman for a Well drilled outfit goes to the outfit itself, and to a certain extent it should. However, when an experienced Army man sees a group such as the Corps of l95U, be unconsciously thinks of the long hours and hard work spent in preparation, and feels admiration for the instructors concerned. We, the Corps of Cadets, Wish to express our gratitude and thanks to these fine men. We realize the hardships and straining patience they must have endured. fad VHF ,.,f,.,,., Mvqk, A T1 nm Nik v vw :E'.f::':E,.:m'lt mmm' SZ:. ,., .QQ 'tiff ', 'wA ' Q pf walvkwlu. fd!-mum but-burn 15-1?-1'fIiQI?'6i .idziiii-uT AA2i4 hfs:n'i8fD?!H i.iifIav7-5-aim' umm mcnoos san sa. so-lex mem u.L ia- nwam sr .mm mums www: iii-QFHMB !l-3' lawvsss wr Imtrlss sm nwmmn a new uzrssu ne sem: can sw .seems amfanr acxmw sznscrco anumv season wma mfc ant 1950 re nwsunv or me mn mums couanmusraous- me nnsammsn me isezesz.. ' um an me is S03 69 '7acz'zcal Staff There is probably no other group of men in the corps who are more responsible for the success of the organization than the Tactical Officers. It is the duty of this group to see that the various companies work as teams, and that these teams form a Working pattern throughout the corps. Their jobs are not easy ones, for they must act as the mediators between the administration of the school and the company and relay any message one faction may have for the other. As Tactical Officer for Companies A and Captain E. B. Lerch, Marine Corps Reserve, has worked very hard to better his companies in every way possible. ln charge of C and D Companies we find that Major B. H. Rafoth, Engineer Corps Re- serve, brought his companies through with flying colors. Lieutenant D. H. Devonald, Army of the United States, Ret., was in charge of Companies and the Academy Band, and turned in a creditable job as their Tactical Officer. The officers of the Tactical Staff acted only in an advisory capacity. Their all around job was to observe the general conduct and morale of the companies, to lend a helping hand where it might be needed, and to create certain phases of school life which would be for the interest and Welfare of all. The members of the Tactical Staff took great pride in the functions and successes of their individual companies, and rarely was there a competition or sport event at which they Weren't on the side lines. ln fact, their presence often made the various com- panies work harder. Many times that helping word from a Tactical Officer has brought a cadet the strength and courage to carry on to greater heights. 7fze eacfel' affzhmd lt is the goal of every cadet who attends St. Iohn's to achieve officer status in the Corps before he graduates. Those attaining such ranks are rightfully proud of the ac- complishment, and the rest of the Corps appreciates the hard Work and faithful serv- ice that is thus rewarded. The job of the cadet officers is not an easy one. They have the responsibility of keep- ing their individual companies in smooth working order. They must set an example that every cadet under them will be willing to follow. The officers must maintain a high scholastic average, and at the same time give up many of their free periods for com- pany affairs. The cadet officers are re- warded for their service with special privileges, such as night lights, Officers' Club membership, Commish mail, and off bounds privileges. Time and time again it has been said that an organization is only as good as its leaders. ln our case the leaders are the cadet officers. For the splendid record the Corps maintained this year, we must look to, and thank the Cadet Officers. We must salute the officers of this year, and those who have gone before, for their spendid efforts to carry St. Iohn's to the top. eacfei Sfaff The Staff, although rarely given credit for its many duties, is probably the most envied organization at St. Iohn's. Working quietly and efficiently, this year's Staff has gained the reputation of being hard working and reliable. Lieutenants Don Glyman and Mouse Traver, as the Presidents aides, were sub- ject to call twenty-four hours a day. In ad- dition, they both assisted in the instruction during recruit drill. Like the other members of the Staff, they were often called upon by the Main Drag to carry out special duties. Lieutenant Ken Weisman was Battalion Quartermaster. He assisted Captain Lerch and Major Raforth, and also helped out in the accounting department. Ken also maintained the Reveille Gun in spotless, rust free condition. Lieutenant Al Kindt, as Battalion Ad- jutant, officiated at all Parades and other ceremonies. He also detailed the official duty and published special orders, Color Sergeants Hank Friederichs and john Hoffman carried the National and School Colors at parades and other similar ceremonies. They also acted in the capacity of Sergeant Major at Sunday Guard Mount- ing. They should be commended for their Willingness to pitch in and help Wherever needed. Supply Sergeant Harry Birchard Was the odd jobs man of the Staff, and as his rank implies kept us Well stocked with the necessities of military life. He also lent a helping hand Wherever needed. This year's Staff has left behind it a rec- ord of being both militarily and scholastical- ly superior, as well as doing more than its share to bolster up the strength of many of the Academy athletic teams. lt will be a difficult task for any Staff of the future to equal that of the Cadet Staff of 1950. 764 Golan Quan! lst Cl. Sgt. Gcrller Color Sgt. Friedrichs Color Sgt. Hoffman Sgt. Tucker f 7 Mackay Bard As another eventful year in St. lohn's his- tory comes to a close, more than ever before the Corps realizes the importance of their school band. This year, Lieutenant Burdette Harris, handicapped with inexperienced ma- terial, came through in an excellent fashion, producing an organization that could hold down their own with any St. lohn's Band of the past. The Drum Major, Cadet Captain Fusello, was respected by everyone in the band for his able leadership. He gave inspiration when spirit was at low ebb and criticism where and when it was needed. It is certain he will not soon be forgotten. The commendable performance given by the Marching Band throughout the year at the many Parades, Ceremonies, and Guard Mountings, is certainly worthy of note. With- out the excellence of their performance on these occasions, the Corps would certainly be lacking in military precision. Besides their regular performances at parades and the like, the Marching Band was called upon to take part in the Armed Forces Day Parade in Milwaukee. On this occasion the band proved their worth, draw- ing the admiration of the crowds lining the streets, and many compliments on all sides. Also, the band turned in an exceptional per- formance when they were called upon to furnish the so necessary music for the Mil- waukee State Teachers College Homecom- ing, during the football season. Every member this year is to be compli- mented for his fine work. Everyone cooper- ated, striving for the ultimate goal, the satis- faction of hearing the words, Weil done. For next year Lieutenant Harris hopes for another fine organization that will merit the appreciation and praise of the Corps as did this year's Marching Band. l95O marks the close of the Academy Band's second successful year as an inde- pendent organization. The members of last year's company worked dilligently to build the foundation of successful achievement tor the future members to continue and improve. We, the members ot 1950, are happy to know that we have helped to make this foundation stronger and have added our part to the Academy Band Company's ever increasing heritage. Name any activity at the Academy and you will find out that the Band is by no means lacking in participants. Why, when the Band had to be lett out of the Ivanhoe Competition because its company strength was too small, our able leader, Captain Fusello, asked the Military Department if the Band could be formed into two sections and compete in that way. We didn't win, and weren't expected to, but we showed that the Academy Band Company was willing and able to do her part in any phase of school life. We are represented on the Gold Star list by Berry, P. and Feltman. 'On the basket- ball team lim Berry, Shorty Coleman, Mike Fusello, and Kupiszewski kept things hot tor the opposing teams. Oogie Trapp, Johnston, Bridgeman, Grosse, and Willard Iohnson led the way on the hockey team. lim Berry, lohnston, and Davidson scored some sweet victories on the tennis team. We were ably represented in the Flying Club by let-Iockey Rimmer, Towne, Iordan, and Koepp. Paul Berry, Shorty Coleman, Mike Fusello and Koepp have been keep- ing their batting averages soaring while they do some fine stick-work for the baseball team. The track team gained many a point toward victory through the able assistance of de Neveu, Braze, Kupiszewski, Harris, and Fusello. We all know that the graduating seniors are leaving an excellent record behind them and a feeling of a job well done. For those who are returning, we know that they will be proud to aid in the continuance of the record of those, who are so small in num- ber, but so great in character, the gradu- ates of the Academy Band Company. vw' e Captain lst Class Sergeants Privates I st Class Privates Mittenthal Clark Franzen Barnes Donovan Heinzen Bolo Ljeutencnts Elkin Koretos Deiaderick Sh Little Kurtock Fe1rn S iff Platt Lowerre Havnen to Z Weloner Slater Irwin Yates, W.

A Company, the oldest proudest com- pany in the school added another excellent year of achievement to its record. Although we didn't quite manage to win all the trophies, we were certainly pushing the win- ners and causing them no end of grief. A managed to place a new-cadet in the Best Set Up Competition, namely, Cadet Pietro Papas, from Athens, Greece. Also Buggies Bradshaw brought the second platoon through to third place in the Inter-Platoon Competition, with the first platoon also mak- ing a good showing in the finals. The company can proudly claim the larg- est representation of lettermen in the Acad- emy. Zachry, Tonetti, Mittenthal, Shapter, Barnes, Bradshaw, and Stolz all did their share to give a successful season to the Varsity football team. Creque and Sproat both lettered on the Academy basketball squad, which once again was tops in the Conference. At the same time, A Company was racking up victory after victory in the inter-company games, and came out of the season unde- feated. Gary Pattee did a lot of fancy skating for the hockey team during the Winter, and then combined with Zachry, Sproat, Thoma, Stolz, and Iordan in the spring to give the Acad- emy a winning crew. The track team was Very much depend- ent on Murphy, Bolo, Truran, and Koretos for a lot of points, while opponents of the baseball team were indeed sad to see Tonetti take the mound or Creque step to the plate. At the same time Schwartz was making his opponents live hard on the tennis courts. Despite its excellent athletic record, the company was anything but all brawn and no brain. Throughout the year, A had a very high scholastic average, winning the Schroeder Cup on occasion, and presenting much of a threat the rest of the time. The over-all average was greatly helped by such Star men as Koretos, Deaderick, Webner, and Iordan. Another feat of which the company is justly proud, is our high standing for the Efficiency Cup, the highest we have stood for many years. The excellent leadership of Stu Mittenthal, Captain, the two Lieuten- ants, Tony Stolz and Don Sherr, and the lst Sergeant, Phil Schwartz, along with an excellent staff of non-coms, kept the company in its enviable position. All in all, this adds up to an excellent rec- ord for the year. However, there is one quality those in A prized above all others, an honest friendship for each other. The close of 1950 will leave the company with regret, but certain of the successes of the future.

As we look back on this past year, many wonderful memories make their imprint on the plates of our minds. We can see there the images of another successful year, successful not only because we have finished the year with many honors, but even more important, successful because during this past year there have been many firm and deep friendships formed. Further- more, we have struggled through trials and tribulations, not as individuals, but as a united organization, and have proved that cooperation is the basis of strength. Though the heights of achievement which our company obtained might be directly accredited to the able leadership of our Captain, lack Stuhmer, and his two Lieu- tenants, Bob Eckardt, and Wayne Hoch- muth, we cannot accurately give credit to any one faction or group. Our capable Pla- toon Sergeants, Fred Spidell and Bill Wyard, for instance, did much more than their share of the work ln fact, every last one of our non-coms did a most excellent job in his respective position. To our new-boys, too, is due much of the credit. They proved that they were worthy B Company men. If the success of B Company during this past year can be attributed to any one factor, there is no doubt that that factor is spirit. Yes, true spirit is one of those often sought after, yet seldom obtained qualities, that are so important to a really great company. Comradeship, common pride, and interest in the company have proved themselves more than an equal substitute for fear and punish- ment. This year we placed second in the room inspections: coming very close to that coveted first place. Our second platoon won the Inter-Platoon Competition, showing that we not only had fun, but were able to drill when the time came to do so. On the athletic field also, B was exceptionally well represented: no other company placed as many men on varsity teams as we did. lt is in you, returning B Company men, that we, the graduates of B in the past, place our hopes. Of you, returning new and old boys, we beg toil and cooperation: and of you, Al Kindt, Iohnny Iohnson, and lerry Thomas, we beg in addition, patience, perseverance, justice, and above all, the tenacity to keep going when the water be- comes rough.

Much of the credit for C's excellent con- duct, clean-cut appearance, and Well round- ed efficiency must go to the non-commis- sioned officers, headed this year by lst Sergeant Iohn Bartizal. No company could ever hope to find a finer group of men with which to work. Their cooperation in perfect- ing the minute details of the company or- ganization proved to all that they were the outstanding non-coms of the Corps. Because of their hard work and deep de- votion, C Company once again regained possession of the lvanhoe Cup. ln addition, the 2nd Platoon drilled its way into second place in the lnter-Platoon Competition. These accomplishments proved that once again C Company was the finest organization in the Corps. C Company also was noted for its ex- cellent appearance in the Barracks. Through- out the entire year, it led the field in the battle for the number one position in room inspection. Again, her non-coms did not let the company down, and it was triumphant. To get away from life in the barracks, we find that C was represented in all forms of school athletics. Many of its men con- tributed to the success of St. Iohn's teams. But now, for many of us it is the end: how- ever, we graduates of l95O know that the banner of C Company shall continue to wave prominently. We know that the future officers of C will never let it down. C Company will live in our hearts as a memory of a grand group of cadets. um!! 6 Captain 1 st Class Serqeants Corporals Glaser Miller, I.

Under the ardent guidance of our Captain, Mitch Glaser, not to leave out our two capable Lieutenants, lim Klafta and Don Woiczak, D was able to pull itself up to the top. ln the fall term, we took the lnter-Company Athletic Trophy with an undefeated touch- ball team. Also in the fall term, D Com- pany took the Schroeder Cup for the first month's work, and followed through to win it several months to follow. This was a new award for D Company in over a decade. In the winter term, D took second place in the race for the lnter-Company Athletic Trophy for basketball. We also obtained another trophy to add to our collection, a second place in the Dads' Day show. ln drills D proved to be much improved over past years. The Ivanhoe Competition was a close race from the start, and D was a third place winner. When the warm weather rolled around again, D was once again right out after the Athletic Cup, and again, we proved to be the best. This time we came through to win the softball championship. But who are the men who have led D to this high place of achievement? We have previously mentioned our officers who have done so much for D Companyg now let's go down the line. Chuck Bartels, a finer lst Sergeant could not be found, was the lifeline to the outside world. lohn Tex Minniece kept us supplied with everything and anything. He did a great job, even if he was from Texas. Cur Platoon Sergeants, lim Regas and Gary Werner, were very proficient in carry- ing out their duties. lt would really be tough to find two harder working men than these two. Next we come to the boys who kept the company on an even keel, Hog Wil- liams and Phil lohnson. Hog and Phil can always say that everyone in the com- pany followed them. D Company had its six infallible Squad Leaders to help the company along, Ierry Rosen, lim Otis, Al De Ronge, lack Miller, Iohn Cuneo, and Bob Orsolini. Their unceasing efforts will long be remembered. To guide the company along in sports, we had our very eminent manager, Bill Wis- niewski - he could always be counted on to get the teams out and to do everything in his power for them. What about the men of D themselves? Well, a finer bunch of guys could never be matched again. Everyone worked with full enthusiasm and put their all behind 114 ll Captain I st Class Serqeants Privates lst Class Privates Irvine Bulger Epstein Anderson Campbell, W. F.

N411 The curtain has drawn to a close on the F Company members of the class of 1950. The halls of F will no longer echo with the ring of the same familiar voices. The thought saddens us as we realize that never again will we be able to work with the departing seniors of our company. Fighting F was capably led by Captain lim, 'Scrounge, Scrounge, if it isn't cigar- ettes, it's underwear or shirts' Irvine. We will always remember lim for his undying efforts in leading F to a successful and happy year. Lieutenants George Soup up those V-8's Blakely and Carl I'm a beeg mon Runge left nothing to be desired in the way of platoon leaders, and did an excellent and loyal job throughout the year. A very important part of any company are the Master Sergeants, and F Company's included a fine group of cadets, namely, lim, 'I love to put girls in taxis' Kiser, Phil, 'I won't come crawling back to Babs' Goldstein, lack, 'Could I be more sloppy' I-Iolder, Yo, 'I never get a hard nose' len- sen, Ioe, 'I've been rooming with Campbell too long' Anstett, and F's own A-bomb, Bill, 'I blow em up' McCoy. F Company's squad leaders, the real backbone of the organization, included such illustrious characters as 4 minute mile Bulger, Bill, 'l'm a little simple, but I can catch ' Campbell, I clean up my room before Taps Dac Quisto, Digger Weeden, Myron, I'll never return north of the Mason- Dixon Line again Resneck, and Stu, 'Put them on the closet shelf' Olin. Besides the Brass mentioned above, F Company included many other fine lads who did more than their share to make F the grand organization that it was. Among these certainly should be mentioned Sammy Snead Taylor, Gus, 'I know what water is, but I certainly hate to use it' Iohnson, Hand me a shovel Larsen, Ray, Rainbow Arena Zupet, Sam, 'I can crawl anything' Epstein, and Why should I do this Boshwit. F Company always was to be found high up in the race for the Schroeder Cup. and won that award for two months. Among the more notable star men were Smith, L. L., Irvine, Goldstein, Dac Quisto, Campbell, Levin, Mueller, Besneck, and Iohnson, G. C. In varsity athletics, the teams were em- bellished with F Company men. Blakely, Kiser, Bulger, and Runge played on the foot- ball teamg Blakely, Kiser, Bulger, Runge, and I-Iolder contributed to the track squadg Tay- lor, Goldstein, and Boshwit held their own on the golf linksg and Bill Campbell did a fine job with the baseball team. These numerous mentioned men made F company the terrific company that it was, an organization that will long live in the memories of all those a part of it. Captain Alders Lieutenants Best Yates, I.

Probably the most worthwhile accomplishment was in the field of instruction and assistance to the younger boys of the company. We learned to cooperate and help one another, and to live together as a unit in a true spirit of companionship. ln our trophy case will not be found too many awards, but the individual members of G won their share of the honors. Dick Wittenberg came through with a place in the Christmas Set Up Competition in the old- cadet class, and Snyder was the receipient of the new-cadet Set Up Medal. ln command of this great bunch of lads we found Skipper Alders, and his two able lieutenants, lack Best and lim Yates. The hard-working Top-Kick , Fritz Habeck, did more than his share in carrying the load. ln our fine group of non-coms we could always find Efficiency Plus Wittenberg, Webb Newcomb, Big lim Hart, Bob Dyminski, Big Bob Chambers, Dangerous Prank Lieberman, Bubbles Guild, Gab- by Gonzales, Marsh Gehring, and many others performing their duties in a valuable and sincere manner for the good of the company. ln the various drills and competitions the men of G gave their best at all times, they never gave up, they always strived for the top. The company has learned by its mis- takes, and with this valuable experience behind them are going to be mighty hard to beat in the future. ln company athletics G Company came through to show that size was not a detri- ment to them, and were constantly on top or pushing the leaders. On the various Acad- emy teams, many members of the company were represented and did more than their share to add to the victories of St. lohn's. The time has now arrived for the seniors to become just another class, but before their page is closed, they want to wish the remaining members of G good luck, and God's speed. Work hard and bring G through to the top. CADETS KISER, EEST, STUHMER CADETS FRENCH, TICHY, SMITH 1949 Ghiuhw Jmlzuzdual fbulh Every year as the Christmas holidays ap- proach, a number of cadets can be found in the corridors or in their rooms practicing the manual of arms. One not acquainted With St. lohn's would soon ask the question Why this sudden interest in drilling. But there is a very legitimate and worthy reason, namely, the Christmas individual drills to determine the best drilled old and new cadet. To be classed as the best drilled old or new cadet is a coveted honor for a young man at St. Iohn's. There are two sets of drillseone which includes all old cadets who desire to com- pete, and the other for the new cadets. Each set consists of a primary elimination com- petition judged by members of the Military Department. This drill is a test of endur- ance and proficiency in the school of the in- dividual soldier. The three old and three new cadets who place from each company drill at some later date in the finals. The finals in this year's competition were held on Tuesday afternoon, December l3th. The new cadets who had successfully passed the elimination within their own companies drilled first under the command of Lieuten- ant Colonel Smythe. Immediately after the new cadets had finished drilling, the old cadets came on the floor to complete their drills. ln the old cadet competition, the medal was won by Cadet Master Sergeant Kiser of P Company. Second place went to Cadet Lieutenant Best of G Company, and in third place was Cadet Captain Stuhmer of B Company. The winner of the medal for the best drilled new cadet was Cadet Smith, W. of C Com- pany. Second place went to Cadet Tichy of F Company, and third place to Cadet French, S. of B Company. Fitting tribute was paid these six worthy cadets at the Breaking-Up Banquet when the two winners were awarded their coveted medals. CADETS STUHMER, WITTENBERG, ANSTETT CADETS FOSTER, PAPAS, SNYDER au: .sez wp The pride of any military organization is found in the general appearance of its men. Neatness of uniform, personal cleanliness, and posture are the things which are the most noticeable and which have a great deal to do with the way one is impressed by a unit. But appearance is also one of the things that counts most in the outside world, and the training which we have ob- tained at St. Iohn's will be of immense value to us in the years to come. St. lohn's takes great pride in the set up of its corps. Each year at the Breaking-Up Banquet, medals are given to the best set up old and new cadets. These cadets are chosen for these awards by the Military Depart- ment, which through careful deliberation eliminates any cadet who has presented an unsoldierly appearance at any time from the beginning of the school year. Each year the winner is a model of near perfection, and is accepted as the standard of military bearing by the other members of the Corps. This year, Cadet Captain Stuhmer of B Company won first place in the old cadet division, and Cadet Snyder of G Corn- pany won first place in the new cadet divi- sion. Second and third places in the old cadet division went to Master Sergeant Wittenberg of G Company and Master Sergeant Anstett of F Company respec- tively. Second and third places in the new cadet division went to Cadet Papas of A Company and Cadet Foster, I. of G Com- pany respectively. Although medals were given only to those in first place, points were given toward the Efficiency Cup to those companies who had men who placed. Three points were awarded for first place, two for second, and one for third in both the old and new divisions. Lieutenant Eckardt's -Platoon receiving Crack-Platoon medals from M.O.W.W. failed-plalaan Gam didn Without a doubt the most technical drill of the year at St. Iohn's is the inter-platoon Competition. This competition causes much excitement and enthusiasm among the thirteen different platoons, for it is every lieutenant's dream and ambition from the beginning of the year to command the crack platoon, and every cadet's wish to be a member of it. Iust after Christmas vacation, each platoon leader received a list of the commands for the competition. They were very difficult commands, requiring precision and excel- lence, and also a great deal of practice. lt became a common sight during any free time to see the different platoons practicing. Each cadet, knowing what an honor it is to be a member of the winning platoon, put every- thing he possibly could into these practices. In the preliminary competition, each of the thirteen platoons went through the corn- mands once, with the various members of the Military Department acting as the judges. From the total group there were seven platoons chosen to compete in the finals on Friday afternoon, February 3rd. They were as follows: first and second platoons, Company Ang second platoon, Company B p first and second platoons, Company C g first platoon, Company F g and the Band Company platoon. The lieutenants of each platoon drew for their order in the finals. The judges were two officers from Fort Sheridan. The gym- nasium was packed With cadets whose pla- toons had not placed as one of the seven, and everyone drilling was hoping that his platoon would win. Soon after the completion of the compe- tition, the results were posted on the military bulletin board by Colonel Higgens. Third place went to the second platoon of A Company, Sergeant Bradshaw commanding: second place to the second platoon of C Company, Lieutenant Levin commanding. The crack platoon for 1950 is the second platoon of B Company, Lieutenant Eckardt commanding. There was terrific shouting, clapping, and screaming as B Company went wild. Congratulations to Lieutenant Eckardt and his platoon for their hard work in winning this competition. As is the custom, the in- dividual Crack Platoon Medals were pre- sented to the winning platoon members at a Sunday parade in the spring. xg ,I .t ,K -' : Cadet Captain Morgan receives the Ivanhoe Cup for Company C faankae ea The Ivanhoe Cup is an award given by the Ivanhoe Commandery, Knights Templar, of Milwaukee to the best drilled company during the winter term. The connection be- tween St. Iohn's and the Ivanhoe Com- mandery began many years ago when General Farrand coached the Ivanhoe drill team for a competition. This connection was strengthened when, in l928, the Com- mandery drill team used the St. Iohn's drill field and gymnasium to prepare for another national competition. It was shortly after this that the organization presented the original Ivanhoe Cup to St. Iohn's. The finals of this year's competition took place in the academy gymnasium on Thurs- day afternoon, March l6th. According to custom, the judges for the finals were not members of the Military Department, but were officers who had no association with the academy. Colonel john F. Ehlert and Captain Leonard C. O'Brien, two of the judges, are from the Wisconsin Military dis- trict, with headquarters in Milwaukee. The third judge, Colonel Robert H. Rhine, is now P.M.S.cST. at Morgan Park Military Academy. The first company to drill in the finals was D Company, commanded by Cadet Cap- tain Glaser. Next to appear was C Com- pany, commanded by Cadet Captain Mor- gan, and the third and last contestant was A Company, under command of Cadet Captain Mittenthal. When the decision of the judges was an- nounced, it was found that once again C Company had placed first, thereby winning the trophy. In second place was A Com- pany, and D Company stood third. Points toward the Efficiency Cup are awarded to the companies who place in this competition: twenty-five for first, fifteen for second, and five for third. The Ivanhoe Cup was presented to Cadet Captain Morgan, who accepted with the gratitude of Company C , at the ceremonial parade held on Sunday afternoon, May 28th. CADET CAPTAIN IOHN' S. STUHMER Best Drilled Cadet une? fbadl One of the highest individual awards that can be won at St. Iohn's by any member of the cadet corps is the I. B. Kemper Medal for the best drilled cadet, awarded at Com- mencement each year. This competition took place this year on Saturday afternoon, Iune l7th, when twenty- one picked cadets from the seven companies who had previously been chosen by com- pany elimination contests faced the judges. Lieutenant Colonel Smythe acting as drill master for the group presented them and commanded during the drills. One by one the unsuccessful candidates were eliminated until finally the twenty-one starters had been reduced to four. They were Cadets Stuhmer, Werner, Budzien, and Gossage. The winner of this competition was an- nounced Sunday morning, Iune 18th, and was called forward at the Literary Exercises to receive his coveted award. The winner was Cadet Captain Iohn S. Stuhmer, of B Company: second place went to Cadet Ser- geant Werner of D , and third place to Cadet Private Budzien of C Company. lt may be said that no other medal pre- sented by the school is more sought after than the I. B. Kemper Medal, for when a cadet receives this, he has proved that he is the outstanding drilled cadet in school- indeed an honor for any and every cadet. The congratulations of the entire Corps of Cadets go to Cadet Captain Stuhrner. C Company - Best Drilled Company Q' Kanye Throughout the year many important in- dividual competitions and platoon competi- tions have been held, but of all military competitions, the General King is the cul- mination of company drill efficiency. The King Competition held on Saturday morning, lune 17th, was a competition of merit from beginning to end. The Academy Band Company, under the command of Cadet Captain Fusello, was the first com- pany to take the field, and when they were finished executing the prescribed orders, the general opinion of the spectators was that they would be hard to beat. Companies B and F followed in that order commanded by Cadet Captains Mit- tenthal, Alders, Morgan, Glaser, Stuhmer, and Irvine, all of whom did an excellent job. rrAu 1 ln this competition the cadets see the real- ization of all the work they have put forth during the year on the drill field. Also this competition plays a large part in the close race for the Severson or Efficiency Cup. The cadets also know that when they step onto the field to take part in this competition, it will be one of the last times they will per- form as an organization. The judges' decision was withheld until Sunday morning at the Literary Exercises. The General King Cup was awarded to C Company, as the best drilled Company of 1950. lt was received for the organization by Cadet Captain Morgan. Second place went to B Company, commanded by Cadet Captain Stuhmer, and third place to D Company under Cadet Captain Glaser. lt was a closely matched competition, and furnished one of the most interesting spec- tacles of Commencement week. GENERAL FARRAND COLONEL SHERMAN COLONEL MOUSO 6' Twenty-one years ago former Governor Walter Kohler of the State of Wisconsin re- quested that a group of St. lohn's cadets be allowed to accompany him to Washing- ton to attend the inaugural services for for- mer President Hoover. The Governor was so deeply pleased with this group of young Americans 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 tradi- tion at St. Iohn's. This year Governor's Day was held on Sunday, Iune llth. Shortly before two-forty- five, the Academy Band and Honor Guard formed as planned, and met Colonel George Sherman, the Adjutant General of the State of Wisconsin, as he entered the grounds through the General King gate. Governor Oscar Rennebohn was unable to make the trip himself because of illness, and although his absence was deeply regretted, his repre- sentative for the day was an old and wel- come friend of St. lohn's. Colonel Sherman 1264 is an Old-Boy of St. Iohn's and graduated from the Academy in the Class of l9l4. Upon his arrival, the Adjutant General left his car to receive the salute of the guard while the band played On Wiscon- sin . After this was finished, Colonel Sher- man inspected the group of chosen cadets. Immediately after this inspection, he was escorted around the grounds by the guard and to the home of the President of the Aca- demy. Here Colonel Sherman was officially welcomed by General Roy F. Farrand. Colonel Sherman was the reviewing of- ficer at the formal parade. After the Corps had passed in review, the companies were massed in front of the reviewing stand for a short address by the Adjutant General. After the address, the companies were marched back to the gravel path and dis- missed. Colonel Sherman returned to Gen- eral Farrand's home for a short while and then had to return to his many other duties. fqlffzlelic Goacfwi Athletics, as an integral part of the St. Iohn's routine, enter into the daily life of every cadet. Since athletics are so import- ant, there is provided at St. lohn's a fine staff of coaches to instruct and help the cadets in their sports. As in other years, Major Fletcher headed the Athletic Department this year. Although he personally coaches no team, his is the tremendous task of managing the athletic program. This consists of making out all schedules, taking care of team transporta- tion and meals, seeing that visiting teams are well taken care of, and generally tak- ing care of all the details which make up a well balanced and efficient program. ln the fall of the year, football is of course the major interest, and handling the Varsity team again was Captain Smith, who coached the team throughout the season in a manner Worthy of much praise. He was ably assisted by Lieutenant Devonald and Captain Trapp. Lieutenant Blanchard brought the juniors through their first undefeated season in many a year, while Major Reardon once again had a successful season with the Midgets. Our Varsity basketball team enjoyed an- other outstanding season, for the second year headed by Colonel Fierke. He did an excellent job and certainly should be awarded much acclaim. Of the smaller basketball teams, the Lightweights were coached by Lieutenant Blanchard, the Iuniors by Lieutenant Devonald, and the Midgets and Bantams had Major Reardon at the head. Down on the ice, the Hockey team was under the able direction of Cap- tain Trapp, while the Rifle team enjoyed another successful season under the tutilage of Sergeant Little. Spring at St. Iohn's brings forth baseball, crew, golf, track, and tennis. Colonel Fierke, acting in the illness of Captain Lerch as coach of the crew, brought the oarsmen through a successful season, and Major Reardon turned in another fine job as coach of the baseball team. Captain Smith, as- sisted by Colonel Bullman, turned in an- other typical fine performance as head of the Cindermen . The minor sports of golf and tennis were coached by Shorty Merri- field and Lieutenant Blanchard. Although it is the cadets who are the actual participants, the driving force and inspiration behind them is provided by the coaches. Much credit should be given to them, for it is only through their knowledge and guidance that the St. Iohn's teams can come through with their fine records.

Poe and Eckardt, Capt Smith CUTTER ECKHARDT Back Guard POE STUHMER Back Back Academy QGGMGJZ The opening day of school the Academy squad turned out for practice, and as usual, a dire lack of time before the opening game necessitated the beginning of scrimmages almost immediately. The prospects for a good season looked very fine with a large return of lettermen from the previous year. The first contest of the season was played on the home field against the St. Mary's High School of Menasha, Wisconsin. The Cadets coasted to a 27 to 7 win, but looked far from impressive in doing so. The following game was also played at home, this time against the Pious XI High School of Milwaukee. Because of the ninth BLAKELY ZACHRY End Tackle semester rule, two of St. lohn's star backs were not allowed to play, and the badly de- moralized cadet team lost a 13 to O decision. This game, as well as those to follow, proved that St. lohn's was badly lacking in expe- rienced reserves. St. Iohn's traveled to Chicago for its next contest, and came out on the long end of a 28 to 7 count with the Pullman Tech eleven, the first Mid-West Prep Conference oppon- ent. The first half was very dull with little action from either side, but a rejuvinated cadet machine stormed out to score again and again in the final half. BARTIZAL CAMPBELL Guard Center KELEPOURIS VALENTINE Back Back The next scheduled opponent was to be Marquette High of Milwaukee, but due to the ninth semester difference this game was canceled and the Pontiac, Michigan All- Stars were substituted. This game was a very close one all the way until Pontiac broke the tie with a long pass into the end zone for the only score of the afternoon. Culver Military Academy was St. Iohn's next opponent, with the conference crown hanging in the balance. The game was a thrilling one to the last second of play, as all St. Iohn's-Culver contests are. At the half the score was deadlocked seven all, but the SHAPTER BARNES Center Guard LOKKEN RUNGE Back Back second half saw the downfall of the Crim- son and Purple . Culver scored on a pass play and also converted to put them ahead 14 to 7. St. lohn's fought back desperately, but were unable to make the grade. Culver scored two more points in the final period when a poor pass from center allowed Cutter to be trapped in his own end zone for a Safety. The game ended with Culver in command by or score of 16 to 7. Following the Culver game the Cadets traveled to Kimberly, Wisconsin to meet the Kimberly High School eleven. ln this game St. Iohn's suffered its worst defeat of the season, coming out on the short end of a STOLZ WOlCZAK Tackle End GLYMAN BRADSHAW TONETTI Back E nd Back 35 to 7 score. The proverbial wi1l to win just wasn't there and the St. Iohn's eleven looked dead on its feet. The Harrison Tech game, St. lohn's home- coming, was undoubtedly the best played of the season and one of the most thrilling in St. Iohn's history. The game was played in rain and mud throughout, but the Weather failed to drive off amazed spectators, who for the first time that season were seeing St. lohn's as a fighting eleven. With less than or minute remaining in the game, the Cadets forged ahead 2l to l9, only to have the game wrested from their grasp on a last play des- peration pass that Went for a Harrison score. The extra point was good, and the final score stood Harrison 26, St. Iohn's 20. St. Iohn's final game was a post-season contest on the home field against Lakeview High School of Chicago. The Cadets finished off the season with an easy victory, the score standing at 21 to U. Most football squads are noted for their varsity squad and nothing else. However, much credit must be given to the B squad, which scrimmaged the varsity day after day in order to give the varsity that much needed experience. This year's B squad will be carrying the load next fall, and we must not forget these men that will carry St. lohn's honor on their capable shoulders next year. Last, but very far from least, We should remember our coaches, Capt. Smith, Lt. Devonald, and Capt. Trapp. Under their patience and guidance the most important process gained through playing football Was accomplished, the molding of men out of boys. To these men we Wish to express our heart-felt praise and gratitude. FRIEDRICHS HOLDER, SCI-IWARTZ, IRVINE ROBINSON Tackle Managers Tackle uniaa aaalzalf This year the luniors had a truly great team and a great coach: for Lieutenant Blanchard led the team to its first undefeated season in ten years. The members of the team who saw the most action throughout the season were Coleman, Peters, Koepp, Larsen, Karmarenko, White, McKay, Atkins, Reiss, Zupet, Anstett, lensen, Oberheim, Hart, Galler, Olin, Miller, Clark, and Conroy. The first game of the season was played on September 28th, against an experienced Watertown team. The luniors led all the way until the last quarter when Watertown managed to tie up the game which ended in a l2-all deadlock. ln their second game on October 7th, the luniors met and defeated Oconomowoc 7 to O, with White scoring the touchdown and Zupet adding the extra point on a pass from Coleman. The third game of the season was played against Waukesha High School. This was a real thriller with Waukesha intercepting a pass in the first quarter and running it back for the score. Then Coleman scored twice in the same period for the Cadets, but both points were missed. ln the final period Waukesha managed to score again and the game ended in a l2-12 tie. ln a return game with Watertown the luniors massed all of their points in the first half, while their opponents scored in the second and fourth periods. This game ended with the Cadets on the long end of a 20-13 score. Coleman scored twice for the Juniors, and Zupet added the final tally. Next on the schedule the luniors played a return match with Oconomowoc and de- feated them 2O to 6. ln this game Koepp scored twice for the Cadets, once on a long interception and once via the ground route. Coleman scored once and added two extra points to complete the Cadet's scoring. The final game of the season was played on the 2nd of November, with Waukesha High School as the opponent. The Iuniors did more than avenge their previous tie by soundly trouncing their opposition l9 to U. The first score was made by Peters on a quarterback sneak. ln the second period, Coleman added the second score on the longest run of the season, an eighty-five yard gallop to pay-dirt. He also added the extra point. Kirb Smith added the finish- ing touch to a great season by grabbing a Waukesha pass on the last play of the game and running all the way home with it. The l949 luniors are certainly to be con- gratulated for turning in the best season in many a year. Also an added vote of thanks should be given to Coach Blanchard, without whose efforts this record could not have been possible. The Midgets were coached again this year by Major Reardon. l-le has coached the team for many years, so he is quite experienced in teaching the smaller boys the fundamentals of the game. Not only did Major Reardon coach us in the funda- mentals, but he also taught us lessons of sportsmanship and teamwork, both so im- portant to the game. The Midgets had only a fair season as far as the win-loss record goes, for they won three and lost three. However, if we did not obtain an outstanding record, we had fun playing together and learned a great deal about the game. We opened the season on September 18th, with a game played away against the Lin- coln School team from Oconomowoc. The Midgets were beaten by this opponent, 26 to 6. St. lohn's lone touchdown was scored by Wolfer. A week later the second game was played with St. Ierome's Parochial School, also of Qconomowoc. This game ended with St. lohn's on the long end of a 20 to O score. Wolfer, Smith, and Plout all scored for the Midgets, while Foster and Wolfer each added an extra point. ln the next game the Midgets suffered defeat at the hands of the Delafield All-Stars. The score of this game was l3 to 2 O. St. Iohn's almost scored in the last sec- onds of the game, but time ran out before they were able to push it across. In a return game with Lincoln, played at St. Iohn's, the Midgets were again defeated 20 to O. The Midgets' defense looked better in this game, but their offense was not as sharp as usual. The final two games of the season were played in a home and home series with Iefferson Grade School from lefferson, Wis- consin. The first was played at St. lohn's, with the Midgets winning 34 to lZ. Wolfer scored two touchdowns for St. lohn's, while Sturenfeldt, Foster, and Pagenkopf each scored once. Smith, Wolfer, and Sturenfeldt each contributed an extra point. ln the re- turn game played at lefferson, the Midgets were also victorious, this time by an l8 to O score. The St. lohn's scores were made by Pagenkopf, Wolfer, and Sturenfeldt. Several of the Midget reserves made excellent show- ings in this game. Although the lefferson game was the final one on the regular schedule, there was one more encounter which is very important to the members of the squad. This was the annual Kemper-Delioven battle, which ended in a l4 to O victory for the Deliovens.

Culver Military Academy Team Captain Cutter and Coach Pierke CUTTER STUHMER CBEQUE FUSELLO Forward Forward Center Guard The Academy Basketball Team of '49 and 'SU succeeded in reflecting, in the traditional St. lohn's manner, the excellence of the coaching and athletic program set up at the Academy. The over-all record for the sea- son is exemplary of this fact, for it shows a total of 11 victories and 4 defeats. The cagers were able to go undefeated in conference play, and thus succeeded in re- taining the Mid West Prep Conference Championship, as well as the Mid West Prep Conference Tournament Championship. Before Christmas vacation got under way, the team had already gotten three games under their belts, and three victories at that. The first was played at Watertown, on Satur- day, December 3rd, against the Northwestern College Preps. The Cadets were able to win by a score of 43 to 41 in a very close over- time game. Cutter took scoring honors with 15 points. With one game of experience, the cagers next played a highly rated St. Bonaventure team, and earned a hard fought 38 to 33 win. The high scorer for this game was Bloom, with 16 points. Then in a return game with the Northwestern Preps, played this same SAMBURSKY BERRY week, the Cadets had an easy time of it on their home floor, winning 54 to 27. Cutter led St. lohn's with a total of 13 points. Immediately following the Christmas re- cess, the Academy cagers encountered their first Conference foe. On lanuary Sth, they defeated Elgin Academy, 38 to 23, here at St. 1ohn's. Creque took the scoring honors for the evening with 16 points. Although the next game was played on Friday the 13th of Ianuary, the Cadets trav- eled to Chicago and easily took the measure of Pullman Tech for their second Conference win, 60 to 44. Cutter poured in 12 field goals and six free throws, for 30 points, half of the Cadets' total. On lanuary 18th, although playing on the home court, the Cadets suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Way- land Academy. The game ended 41 to 34, St. lohn's on the short end. Cutter led the home team with 10 points. lt was one lanuary 21st that the cagers met Culver Military Academy, their arch rivals. St. lohn's was able to achieve victory only through a last quarter stall, which BLOOM COLEMAN Guard Guard Forward Guard 4 CUNEO ROBINSON ELKIN Forward Center Guard showed their superiority both defensively and offensively. The final score Was 27 to 25, St. Iohn's once again on the top. Sam- bursky led the team with 10 points. ln the return game with St. Bonaventure, the Cadets suffered their second and worst defeat of the season. The game was played in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, and St. Bonaventure avenged their earlier defeat, drubbing St. Iohrfs 52 to 37. On Ianuary 28th, the Cadets met and de- feated another Conference rival, Glenwood School, to the tune of 53 to 41. Bloom took the honors in this contest with 16 points. In the same week St. Iohn's invaded Glenwood and again easily defeated them, 60 to 40. Cutter scored 17 points to lead both teams. St. lohn's second defeat came at the hands of Edgewood Academy, of Madison. Edge- wood, a highly rated quintet, had to really put on the pressure to stop a very determined Cadet team, 34 to 3l. Bloom was high scorer for St. lohn's with l4 points. The next victim for the Cadet five was Elgin Academy, who St. lohn's had defeated earlier in the season. The game played in Elgin, lllinois, Was an easy Victory for St. Iohn's, with a final score of 46 to 25. FRENCH Forward ln the return game with Pullman, the cagers gained another victory in the Con- ference, defeating the high school, 47 to 2l. Cutter again led the Cadets with 1U points. On February 25th, the Cadets traveled to Indiana to play the final Conference game with Culver. Our cagers were able to ob- tain another hard fought victory by defeat- ing the Culver Cadets 39 to 37, and thereby completing the Conference schedule unde- feated. On March 4th, the Academy cagers traveled to Glenwood, lllinois, to compete in the annual Conference tournament. In the first round, St. Iohn's met and defeated Glen- wood School, 58 to 22. ln the final round, St. Iohn's met Culver for the third time, and this time with the Conference tournament crown in the bal- ance. Again St. Iohn's proved to be the stronger, taking Culver's measure, 43 to 35. Certainly a heart-felt vote of thanks should be given to Colonel Fierke for the splendid job he has again accomplished with the team. It looks as if a new motto for the Academy Basketball team is in the offering - Fierke has done it again . KUPISZEWSKI Forward 87am The B Team was again coached for the second year, by Lieutenant Blanchard. The boys worked very hard for their coach and a spirit of cooperation was also built up amongst themselves, so in the long run the team's season was quite successful. ln the won-lost records they split even in their ten games played, winning five and dropping the same number. The season opened on December 7th, when the Bs played a game with St. Bona- venture. They were victorious in this, their first chance to work together, by a score of 31 to 22. Holle was the leading scorer for St. lohn's with ten points. Although they played an excellent game in their return match, the B Team was beaten by one bucket, 28 to 26. Holle was again high point man for the team hitting for eight points. Three days later the B Team again met with defeat, this time at the hands of St. Anthony. They lost by seventeen points, the score being 36 to 19. Metz was high scorer for St. lohn's, getting six points. These two successive defeats did not daunt the Bs , however, for they went ahead to beat Hartland in their next contest 33 to 30. Metz was again leading scorer for St. Iohn's. The Bs dropped their next game to the Purple Hearts from Waukesha. The St. Iohn's club could not find the range, and the score at the final whistle was 55 to A'a4ke2f6a-J! 26. Anstett rang up eleven points for the Bs . ln a third match with St. Bonaventure, played away from home, the Cadets were again victorious, this time by a score of 26 to 20. Metz was high scorer for the Bs with nine points. St. lohn's was also victori- ous in a return game with the Purple Hearts. They won by a score of 41 to 27. Holle led our scoring with eight points. When the Bs played their first game with Waukesha High, they faced very rough competition, and came out on the short end of a 48 to 18 count. Metz again led St. Iohn's with six points. ln the return game with Oconomowoc the B Team was again the winner. This time the game was played at Cooney , but this did not hamper the Bs as they took OconomoWoc's measure 38 to 13. Holle was high scorer on this occasion with a total of eight points. The tenth and final game of the B Team's season ended in their fifth defeat. They were beaten by the Purple Hearts from Wau- kesha in a high scoring affair 64 to 43. Holle and Peters hit for eight points apiece to be the high scorers for St. Iohn's. With the regular season ended, all that remained to be played was the all-impor- tant Kemper-De Koven game. The squad split in a rather lopsided fashion, and the De Kovens had an easy time of it triumph- ing over the Kempers. . l mum Bfukezfdall The luniors were coached this year by Lieutenant Devonald, who did a very fine job. It was his first assignment as a basket- ball coach, and he proved able to handle the younger boys in a manner worthy of ac- claim. The season opened on the twelfth of Ianuary when the luniors played a game with the Waukesha High School Frosh. In this game, played at Waukesha, it could be seen that much more practice was needed, for the Iuniors were soundly beaten by the bigger team 46 to 17. The same thing occurred several days later, for then the luniors were beaten by the Oconomowoc Prosh by a score of 42 to l9. Shortly after this encounter the Iuniors were again snowed under by the Waukesha team, 34 to 18. Plout was high scorer for St. lohn's with eight points. With a beginning of three straight losses for the team things looked pretty dark, but the luniors soon proved they were learning fast and working together by taking Ocono- mowoc's measure in their next meeting 32 to 23. Maas and Smith shared scoring honors as they both got nine points. The next game also turned out in a victory when the luniors defeated the Waukesha Y.M.C.A. team on the home court in a close one, 37 to 35. Maas was high point man again with fourteen points to his credit. ln the next two games the Iuniors lost to Waukesha and Oconomowoc by scores of 49 to 23 and 36 to l9 respectively. On the next Saturday the Iuniors had two games scheduled for the same day. St. Iohn's Won both of these, the first against the Waukesha Merchants 24 to 17, and the second with St. Anthony 33 to 23. Smith got eight points in the first game to be high, and Dolce got ten in the second. ln their last encounter with Waukesha, St. Iohn's showed just what an improved team they were. Although they came out on the short end of the score, it was a battle all the way, Waukesha winning in the last few seconds 35 to 33. Braze was the hot man for St. Iohn's, hitting for eleven points. ln this same week the Iuniors again squeezed by the Waukesha Y.M.C.A. by one bucket, winning 31 to 29. They also trounced the Pewaukee Freshmen 3l to 20. Higgins was high scorer in both of these games. Then the Iuniors lost their last game with Oconomowoc in a disappointing finish 26 to l9. In the last two games of the season, the Iuniors were victorious over the Waukesha Merchants by scores of 29 to 28 and 27 to 21, to top off the season with eight wins over- all. Braze was high scorer in these games hitting for twelve points. luifqel' cnc! Eanfam Badkelliall The Midgets lost their opening game of the season on the fourteenth of Ianuary to the Cushing Grads from Delafield. The final score was 18 to 13, with Clouras scor- ing eight points to lead the Midgets. The Bantams also played on this occasion, and their game finished in a 14 to 14 deadlock. The Midgets and Bantams played another doubleheader three days later against St. Ierome. The St. Iohn's team won both of these games, the Midgets by a score of 28 to 21, and the Bantams 24 to 18. Pagenlcopf tallied sixteen points to lead the Midgets. A few days later the Midgets were defeated at the hands of St. Ioseph 35 to 28. Wolfer and Pagenkopf shared scoring honors with eight points each. Both of the smaller teams lost pretty bad- ly on the first of February to Lincoln School of Oconomowoc. The score in the Midget game was 30 to 7, while the Bantams lost by a score of 35 to 8. Wolfer led the St. Iohn's team in the first game, while Bennett did likewise in the second. Next the Midgets were again defeated when they met St. loseph in a return game. They did better offensively, but were still unable to hold down St, lo . When the final whistle blew the score was 56 to 27. Murphy was the high point man for St. lohn's. This time the Bantams also played, and they came out of the contest on the short end of a 15 to 7 count. This was the last game of the season for the Bantams. The Midgets scored their second victory of the season when they defeated a team from Pewaukee. They won by an easy margin of ten points 14 to 4. Clouras led the St. lohn's team with eight points. The Midgets lost their final game of the regular season to Lincoln School. They missed quite a few shots on this unfamiliar court and came out with a 39 to 16 defeat. Murphy, Manta, and Wolfer all scored four points for St. Iohn's. This completed the season with two victories and five defeats for the Midgets. ln the post season Kemper-DeKoven games, the Kempers won both, the Midgets by a score of 17 to 8, and the Bantams 19 to 10. All the members of the 1950 Midget and Bantam squads give their sincere thanks to Major Reardon for all they have learned under him during the past season. lf the season wasn't particularly successful as far as games won and lost, it proved valuable to the members of the squads in what they learned, both of the game and of sports- manship.

Defense Defense The Academy Hockey Team, like most St. Iohn's hockey teams, had to suffer through a season ot post-ponements and cancella- tions because of too warm weather and too soft ice. They did manage to play eight games, of which they won two and lost six. Three games were played with Milwaukee Country Day School, three with Shorewood High School, and two with Lake Forest Academy. It was Saturday, Ianuary 14th, before the hockey team played a game. 'On that date they met the Milwaukee Country Day School, playing at the Coliseum in Milwaukee, and lost a close game, 5 to 4. Two minutes after the third period opened Country Day was leading, 5 to l, but St. lohn's came back to score three goals in the remaining minutes of the last period. Pattee scored twice for St. Iohn's, and Campbell and De Ronge each put in one goal. On Tuesday, Ianuary l7th, the Cadets went to Shorewood to play the second game of their schedule against Shorewood High School. St. Iohn's lost this one, 3 to l. SCHW EIDE MCNULTY Wing Wing BRIDEMAN BARTIZAL Goalie Defense A return game with Shorewood was played on Saturday, January 21st. This was St. Iohn's first appearance on its own rink. The Cadets were defeated, 5 to O. The second game with Country Day was played at Milwaukee on Saturday, Ianuary 28th, and ended in victory for St. Iohn's, 4 to 3. Country Day took a 2 to O lead, but De Ronge scored in the first period and then Sohrweide in the second period tied things up, 2 to 2, on an assist from McNulty. Coun- try Day went ahead, 3 to 2, and then De Ronge scored his second goal to tie the score at 3 all in the second period. Pattee scored the winning goal for St. Iohn's in the third period from center ice. A The third game with Shorewood was played at St. Iohn's on Saturday, February 4th, and was won by Shorewood, 4 to U. Country Day was St. Iohn's opponent on Saturday, February llth, when the game was played at St. Iohn's as part of the Mid- winter program. This time the Cadets lost by a score of 4 to 3. Country Day scored in the first period and De Ronge tied the score HOLMES DeRONGE Center Wing WILKE WYARD Wing Defense at one all in the second period. Pattee put the Cadets ahead, 2 to 1, but before the second period ended Smythe of Country Day had scored three goals in three minutes, to put the visitors out in front, 4 to 2. The last score of the afternoon was a goal by Pattee of St. Iohn's in the third period. St. Iohn's met Lake Forest Academy at the Coliseum in Milwaukee on Wednesday, February 15th, and defeated them, 3 to 2, for the Cadets second and last victory. Trapp scored the first goal for St. Iohn's in the first period, and Lake Forest tied up the game at l all. Then McNulty scored for St. Iohn's on an assist from Sohrweide in the second period, and again Lake Forest tied things up at 2 all. Pattee scored the winning goal for St. Iohn's in the third period.

De Ronge scored his second goal for St. Iohn's when the second period was almost over, but Lake Forest scored again to go out in front, 5 to 4, as the period ended. In the third period Lake Forest scored again, making the score 6 to 4, and then Pattee scored for St. Iohn's on a pass from Sohrweide, making the score 6 to 5 in favor of Lake Forest, Where it remained until the game ended. This year, Alders, a four year hockey man, was chosen team captain. The line-up of the team ran Trapp at center, DeRonge and Pattee playing wing positions, Alders and Bartizal on defense, and Bridgeman in the net. The hustling managers of this year's team were Woiczak, Rautbord, and Stein. Captain Trapp was again the coach of the Hockey Team, and this report could not be completed without first expressing our thanks and appreciation for his untiring efforts to teach us the ropes .

Co-Capt. Birchard, Major Reardon, Co-Capt. Cutter ll2 ECKARDT ROSS Catcher Pitcher TONETTI BIRCHARD Pitcher Catch er nwam, amiga The Academy Baseball team of 1950 owes much of their success to their very able coach, Major Tim Reardon and their co- captains Clay Cutter and Harry Birchard. The team was developed around only three first string players returning from the pre- vious season's team. The first base position this year was occupied by both Ken Sam- bursky and Stick Creque, alternating throughout the season. At second base Mike Fusello held sway, and gained some able assistance from Smith, W. K. Whizzer Elkin covered the short-stop position like a rug, and was helped along by Shorty Coleman when necessary. The third sack was Clay Cutter's domain, but Duffy Haut- bord got a chance every now and then. ln the outfield could be found Tom Lowerre in left, Fleming in center, and Wayne Hoch- muth in right. These three were backed up by Berry, Holle, and Koepp. The backstop for the team was Harry Birchard, with Eckardt and Campbell also seeing some action. The pitching staff was a coach's dream, with Tonetti, Ross, and Lindgren see- ing most of the action. CUTTER ELKIN 3rd Base Short Stop In the opening game of the season the cadets were up against a tough scrappy nine from New Trier High School of Chicago, already with six games under their belt. St. Iohn's put up a tough fight, but fell on the short end of a 4 to 2 score. A The second game of the season told a dif- ferent story when the cadets traveled to Milwaukee to defeat the South Division High School team by a score of 6 to 3. A few days later St. Iohn's was held to only one hit by the ace pitcher from the Northwestern College Prep team, and absorbed their sec- ond defeat to the tune of 13 to O. The team next traveled to Oconomowoc to play the team they had tied in a pre-season match 3 to 3. Tonetti's fine pitching was not enough to make up for the weak hitting of the cadets and the team suffered its third loss by a score of 3 to 2. ln their next encounter, this time with the Hartland High School nine, the cadets came through with ten hits to give Bud Ross more than enough support to blank their opponents 5 to U. FUSELLO SAMBURSKY 2nd Base lst Base CREQUE FLEMING Outfi-elder Outffelder The following week St. Iohn's journeyed to Chicago to compete in the Midwest Prep Corrference Tournament. In the ope-ning round the cadets were matched with Culver Military Academy for the first time in twenty years. Although the cadets out-hit the Cul- ver team, they failed to hit when it counted, and once again Tonetti turned in a brilliant three-hit performance, only to lose by a l to O count. The return game with South Division played on the Academy diamond was truly an upset for the St. Iohn's team. Tonetti, who had pitched himself to an easy victory in the first game, took a real licking to the tune of 8 to l. Country Day School of Milwaukee was the next opponent to invade the Academy dia- mond, only to suffer defeat at the hands of Bud Ross. St. lohn's was able to hit when it counted and gave Bud all the fielding support he needed, as they won 6 to l. The following week the cadets were able to gain revenge for the crushing defeat they had suffered at the hands of the North- western College Preps earlier in the season. HOLLE SMITH Outlielder Infielder LOWERRE HOCHMUTH Outfielder Outfielder Tonetti pitched himself to a smooth victory, keeping the opposition under control through- out the game. The final score was 8 to 3, St. Iohn's the winner. Two days later the St. Iohn's team went to Milwaukee where they invaded the Country Day diamond, but suffered their final defeat of the season by a score of 7 to 5. The team played its last game of the sea- son in Milwaukee against Lutheran High School. In a previously scheduled game an unexpected storm canceled play at the end of the first inning. Behind the beautiful pitching of Tonnetti, the cadets slugged their way to a 8 to 3 victory. It was in this game that Cutter clouted out the only home run the St. Iohn's team had seen all year. lt came at the right time to put the finishing touch on an average season. As a whole, the Academy Baseball team of 1950 proved to be as worthy of praise as any team St. lohn's has seen in many a day. lt was a spirited club, one that fought and worked every minute of every game. The baseball team of 1950 is one that will not be forgotten for many years to come.

The cinder-men were forced inside for all but two or three days of the spring preparation period. However, the boys gave their very best throughout the entire season, and certainly turned in some very creditable performances. The first meet of the year was a quad- rangular affair with Elgin Academy, the Glenwood School, Northwestern Military and Naval Academy, and St. lohn's partici- pating. The meet was held on the Elgin Academy track in Elgin, Illinois, and St. Iohn's came up with its first win of the season, with the points as follows: St. lohn's 93, Elgin 19, Glenwood 19, and Northwestern 10. The second track meet of the year was also the second win of the year, as the cadets captured ten firsts out of twelve events and won the sprint relay as well. ln this meet our opponent was the Pius Xl cle NEVEU SAMBURSKY BLAKELY THORNTON Pole Vault Hurdles High School of Milwaukee, and the points stood 86 for St. lohn's to 27 for Pius Xl. The following Saturday was the third win for the cadets in as many starts as they took the measure of Austin High School of Chi- cago in a thrilling duel, 58W to 54W. On May 10th, the cinder-men made it tour in a row by taking twelve firsts and racking up a total of 91 points. Their op- ponent, St. Bonaventure, was able to pick up only 22 points, as the St. Iohn's men really began to find their stride. Then on Saturday, the 13th of May, the cadets suffered their first defeat at the hands of the Milwaukee Country Day School. The most disheartening aspect of this meet was that several of the point getters were with the Academy Baseball team in Chicago, and left the track team badly under-manned. The cadets lost this dual meet by 43 points when Country Day scored 78 points to the cadets 35. KINDT HOFFMAN Sprints Broad lump and Sprints Hurdles Sprints CUTTER KISER KORETOS YATES Shot and Discus Sprints High jump Distance On Saturday, May 20th, the team traveled to Elgin, Illinois again, this time to compete in the Midwest Prep Conference Track Meet. The well balanced St. Iohn's Squad turned in an excellent performance, and finished in second place, only five points behind the front-runners. Culver Military won the meet with 86 points, while St. lohn's scored 81 points, Pullman Tech 19 points, Glenwood School ll points, and Elgin Academy 10 points. The only meet record that fell that day was the tremendous discus heave of Cutter of St. Iohn's, which traveled 143 feet, 8 inches. On the following Saturday, May 27th, the cadets traveled to Madison, where they com- peted against the Edgewood Academy. The two teams were a perfect match, and tied for scoring honors with 56V2 points for each team. St. Iohn's scored two slams, one in the mile run and the other in the broad jump. The cadets took five first places and tied for a sixth one. To complete the season's activities, St. Iohn's traveled to Milwaukee, where they competed in the Milwaukee Country Day In- vitational Track Meet. This meet was held on the host school's new Alumni Memorial Field. The cadets took a fifth in the meet, and turned in many excellent performances. The points and standings were as follows: Lake Forest Academy 46, first: Edgewood Academy 42, second: Country Day 36, thirdg Wayland Academy 34, fourth: St. Iohn's 33, fifth: and Milwaukee University School 16, sixth. The Academy Track team Wishes to ex- press their appreciation and thanks to their two able coaches, Captain Smith and Colonel Bullman, without whose help the team certainly could not have been suc- cessful. l BULGER KUPISZEWSKI TRURAN MURPHY Distance High lump Hurdles Shot 7 rqcacfemq eaew The Academy Crew team of l95O was one of the finest, if not the finest, in the long and illustrious history of St. lohn's crews. Six lettermen returned to make things easier for Colonel Fierke in his first role as a crew coach. lt was necessary for Colonel Fierke to take over the crew when Captain Lerch's illness made it impossible for him to con- tinue. Four of the returning lettermen, name- ly, Pattee, Robinson, Stolz, and Zachry, rowed on the first eight last year and two others, Trapp and Wyard, had been alternates. The l95O season opened at St. Iohn's against Culver Military Academy, which race St. Iohn's won by four lengths with an official time of 5:37. The next race, rowed on Lake Nagawicka, was with the Wisconsin Freshmen crew, and was a thriller through- out. The cadets came through, however, and with a half a length lead and an official time of 5:42. The following week, the team traveled to Chicago, where they raced the St. Michaels High School crew on the Lincoln Park La- goon. ln this race, Trapp was out with an infected hand, but the cadets were still able to row their fastest time to date, 5:26, and win by three lengths. On Memorial Day, the team traveled to Madison for a return race with the Wisconsin Freshmen. At the starting line, the cadets soon realized that their opponent was not the Freshmen, but the Iunior Varsity. None the less, St. Iohn's put up stiff competition, rowing the distance in a neat 5:23, and losing by only two lengths to the much more ex- perienced Iunior Varsity. This race, although a loss, is certainly a credit to the terrific competitive spirit of the '50 Crew. The final race of the season, and the third one in eight days for the cadets, was rowed against the highly rated Lane Tech Crew of Chicago. There was a very high wind and Lake Nagawicka was very choppy, con- sequently, this was a comparatively slow race. fter training by ten feet throughout, St. Iohn's took the lead in the last quarter, only to falter when one man caught a crab , allowing Lane to catch up. At the finish line, the two shells crossed so close together, that the judges were unable to render a decision for quite some time. lt was finally decided that Lane Tech had crossed first by a slim six inches. The win- ning time was a slow 6:18. The success of this year's Crew was made possible only through the very able efforts of Colonel Fierke. Although a novice at the coaching of crew at the beginning of the season, he soon knew the ropes, and his patience, knowledge, and interest were the invaluable guides to all of us. Ncaflemq Golf This year the Academy Golf team was a very successful organization. Four members of last year's team returned and these formed a nucleus for a well balanced team. Due to each member of the team giving his very best, and due to constant practice by all and the aid of Shorty Merrifield the coach, the team came through with flying colors and a record of ten wins and only three losses. On top of this excellent match record the team added the Midwest Prep Conference Tournament championship, something that a St. lohn's golf team had never accom- plished before. The first four members of the team this year were Taylor, with a nine hole match average of 435 Alders, with 425 Wilke, with 447 and Wojcza.k, with 45. Many of the matches were six man affairs, and De Ronge 9 and Phillips also saw quite a bit of action. Proficiency in the game of golf depends almost entirely on balance and sense of timing. lt is a game of individual skill that can be attained only through long hours of constant and daily practice. Golf requires a great deal of patience, and a person must really love the game in order to achieve the ease and grace of the professional, Much of the credit for the team's success- ful attainment this year should be given to Shorty Merrifield, under whose super- vision the members acquired added knowl- edge and skill which was of inestimable value in their match play. To Shorty and to Lieutenant Devonald go our thanks and appreciation for making the l95O Golf Team one that St. lohn's will always be proud of. rqcacfemq 7enn.i4 The l95U Academy Tennis team had an only fair season with five wins and seven losses to its credit. lnexperience was the main cause of our troubles this year. The 1950 lineup was filled with promising juniors, sophomores, and even freshmen among its ranks. With only two men excepted, Metz and Schwartz, P., the entire squad of l95O is returning next year. In the first match of the season, the cadets were defeated by the Wauwatosa High School team. This was the first time our team had played outdoors however, and the weather continued to hamper the team for the next three Weeks of the season. The team recovered after their first setback, and went on to defeat both Oconomowoc High School and Elgin Academy decisively. During the month of May, the team showed promise, but the definite lack of experience took its toll of the win-loss record. During this time the racguetmen lost to Wauwa- tosa again, Wayland Academy twice, Wau- kesha High School once, and Milwaukee Country Day twice. The list of schools falling before the St. lohn's netmen would include the Ocono- mowoc High School twice, Elgin Academy once, Waukesha High School once, and Watertown High School once. On May l3th, the annual Midwest Prep Conference tournament was held on the Academy courts with Culver Military Acad- emy, Elgin Academy, and St. lohn's taking part. The meet was played in a Round Robin fashion to give each man an oppor- tunity to play every other man in his posi- tion. ln the number one singles flight, the Elgin man defeated the Culver representa- tive in the morning match, and Bloom of St. Iohn's defeated the l949 Singles Charn- pion from Culver in the afternoon. Bloom lost the night-cap to the Elgin man for an even split. Metz of St. Iohn's was defeated in the morning round, but came back in fine style to take the after lunch affair from the Elgin representative, in the number two singles division. The St. lohn's doubles team of Berry and Schwartz, also lost to Culver, but retained an even break by winning from Elgin in the afternoon. ln the over-all total of points the St. lohn's team came through with a second place. The l95O Tennis Team wishes to express their appreciation for the splendid efforts that Lieutenant Blanchard, their coach, has put forth to make this year's team a success. We are looking forward to a really banner year under Lieutenant Blanchard's tutelage in l95l.

There are no specific requirements for membership in the organization other than confirmation in the Episcopal Church. How- ever, to become an acolyte, one must be will- ing to devote extra time and work to the Church, in and about the chapel, and to maintain himself as a respected member of the Corps of Cadets. The only reward for this service is the knowledge that one is serving his Gody it is a rich spiritual reward indeed. The members serve at the early morning Communion services during the week, ac- cording to roster: one acolyte is assigned to serve for a week's length at Evensong. Cn Sundays two are assigned as servers at the Choral Eucharist, four others as torch bearers. Crucifers and flag-bearers are the honored positions in the Guild. This year they in- cluded Cadet Lieutenant Iames V. Yates and Cadet Sergeant lames G. Hart ll, crucifers: Cadet Sergeants Frederick H. Habeck, lerry V. Thomas, and Leonard W. Newcomb, flag bearers. ln addition, Cadets Newcomb and 126 Thomas have served the Chaplain as Sacris- tans, having the care of the altar appoint- ments, and serving as crew chiefs for the volunteers who have kept the chapel silver cleaned and polished. The Guild members have taken earnest pride in their duties throughout the year, and have thus given the Corps an excellent ex- ample of fidelity and devotion of which we are rather proud. lt is a fine thing indeed, that among such a large corps of cadets, whose desire is to get a few moments' extra sleep at Reveille time, we have a small and faithful group who volunteer to serve the Chaplain, Father Croft, at the weekday ser- vices which take place before Reveille is blown, and before the Corps is out of bed. Acolytes who have served four years wear the purple ribbon on the pendant crossg red for three-year men: yellow for two-year men: and green for those serving their first year in the Guild. The coveted Acolyte Medal is awarded the member of the Guild who, by his devo- tion and fidelity, sets an example for others to emulate. This medal is not necessarily given every year. The Guild members them- selves make the choice of the recipient when they feel any one of the group has demon- strated exemplary conduct and faithfulness worthy of the award. Mgr- -vi-Q..- ,H I K ,ff X W... -WN- V -7 '7!w8m Chapel services in the St. Iohn's Victory Memorial Chapel have a dignity and beauty all their own. A large measure of the credit must necessarily go to the cadet choir of thirty-four voices, whose contribution is due to the diligent practice and hard work of its members and their leaders, Father Croft and Captain Williams. The members of the Choir have Worked hard to produce difficult but excellent music, and did such an especially fine musical schedule for the glorious Easter services that General Farrand, in thanking them, de- scribed it as the finest Easter music he has heard in his twenty-five years as the Presi- dent of the Academy. Father Croft and Captain Williams are gradually adding selected arrangements to the music library of the Chapel to suit a peculiar situation which exists. lt is peculiar 7 in the sense that only a very few of the choirrnen are able to read music. Despite this fact, however, they acquaint them- selves rapidly to new music, and would compare very highly with any other group of equal size or age range. This year's soloists, Cadets de Neveu and Werner, are second and third year students, and are being trained for more extensive solo work in the future. Of particular inter- est to the members of the Choir is the new music for choral responses at Sunday Even- song, which is being written by the Chap- lain, and is expected to be ready for use by the fall term. The Choir has turned in an unexcelled performance all year, and for the inspir- ation the members have added to the re- ligious services, the Corps owes a debt of gratitude. MR. GUS IOHNSON President Zach' ghd: The thirteenth Annual Dads' Day was held October 22nd, at St. lohn's Military Aca- demy. Over 100 St. lohn's Dads attended the affair. Following the football game, the Dad's Club held its first meeting of the year. Mr. G. C. lohnson was elected President, Mr. A. C. Kindt was re-elected Secretary, and Mr. Bruce Lourie was elected to the Trea- surer's post. After the Dads' Banquet in the Mess Hall, the Corps of Cadets entertained the fathers with special entertainment in Farrand Hall Gymnasium. Company D was awarded first place for presenting the best skit of the evening. Following the Dads' Day, the Dads' Club held meetings in November, December, Feb- ruary, April, and May. The March meeting, the annual Ladies Night, was held at the Furniture Club of America in Chicago. Over two hundred guests enjoyed a Band Concert by the Academy Band, a sumptous banquet, and an evening of entertainment and dancing. For this event, the Ladies Night party, the Dads' Club published a souvenir booklet, the proceeds from which were used to establish the Dads' Club Scholarship Fund. At the final meeting of the organization at the Red Circle Inn on Mothers' Day, the Dads' Club established two 3750.00 Scholarships to be awarded annually to two boys whose father's were dead. Under the leadership of Mr. Johnson, the Dads' Club enjoyed a year of highly con- structive activity, culminating in the estab- lishment of the Dads' Club Scholarships. Over two hundred and fifty St. Iohn's fathers participated in the activities of the Club for the year 1949-1950. t Gale! Rewzw Slay Every week on Wednesday, the weekly paper of St. Iohn's, the Cadet Review, is pub- lished. Few cadets who read the paper realize the effort and patience that are ex- pended to make the paper the success that it is. Every week, thirty-three Weeks a year, the reporters, proof-readers, and editors work under the able and enthusiastic guidance of Miss Farrand, to publish a four-page weekly which is delivered to the cadets, alumni, and parents. For the work that these cadets put into the successful publication of the Review there is little material reward, other than the knowl- edge and satisfaction of a job well done. Also, at Commencement time the members of the staff are awarded the Cadet Review emblem which they may wear upon the col- lar of their dress coat. The staff of the Cadet Review consists of two groups, writing and distributing. The writing part of the paper is done by the cadets of each company as well as by Miss Farrand, herself. They may submit articles about current events, sports events, company affairs, or editorials. These cadets did a splendid job this year to make the paper worth while. The distributing was done by three cadets who were assigned to each in- dividual barracks. Generally speaking, there are three parts of the Cadet Review: the alumni news: the current news about various sports events, competitions, and activities: and the editori- als. This year besides the already establish- ed columns, several new articles were added for the pleasure and enjoyment of all. A list of these new columns would include: the Chaplain's Corner , Ferkicks , Stripes and Gripes , and the Tattletale . These articles, for the most part, provided the hu- mor of the paper that is so necessary. The articles were anonymously written, for in many instances, they were embarrassing to those mentioned. Among the cadets directly responsible for publishing the Cadet Review were its editor, Cadet Iordan, R. W., and Cadets Platt, Dunn, Phillips, Alper, Davies, French, Galler Lieber- man, Miller, Smith, Yates, and Friedrichs. The Cadet Review under the direction of Miss Farrand has always brought the latest news to the cadets as well as the humor they appreciate so much. This year the staff con- tinued the fine job of this publication and set a record of achievement that will be difficult for Cadet Review Staffs of the future to equal. We of the Trumpeter Staff have endeavor- ed to publish a book that would recall the high-points of the past year, and that would bring back pleasant memories of l95O. Under the direction of Lieutenant Devonald, Captain Campbell, and Captain Mehlos, we believe that we have achieved our goal. Because this year's book was begun Way back in the early days of September, it was not necessary or expedient to appoint a regular staff of editors. lnstead, the various articles and photographs were parceled out to the few members of the staff well before the event to be covered occurred or before the close of a season. ln this Way the end of the year rush was avoided to a certain degree, and a small but competent staff was all that was necessary. The members of the staff this year, who participated in the planning, writing, and production of the l95U Trumpeter were Alper, Fusello, Galler, Harrer, Iordan, Man- del, Smith, L. L., Sproat, Werner, Yates, I. V., and Zachry. Besides the main members of 130 the staff, a number of the Cadet Officers lent their valuable assistance at various times to help make the book a success. Special thanks should be given to the members of the faculty who made this volume possible. Lieutenant Devonald in his second year as Chief Faculty Advisor, has done another splendid job assisting the staff in the performance of its duties. Cap- tain Campbell has again designed an out- standing cover, and deserves much praise for the other art work he did for the book. Captain Mehlos should certainly be com- mended for the time and effort that he put forth as Advertising Manager of the Trumpeter . We of the staff hope that those who read this book will enjoy it. We have tried to bring in all the important phases of St. lohn's life from reveille 'til taps and from the opening in September to the close in lune. It is our sincere hope that the pages of this book will bring back Worthy memo- ries of your life at St. Iohns'. Slain and ehcfe Glad The highest scholastic achievement that a cadet can attain at St. Iohn's is member- ship in the Star and Circle Club. The Club membership consists of those cadets who have been awarded the Head Star , who have had the highest monthly averages for one or more months. The emblem of the Club is a gold star encompassed by a gold circle, which the members wear as a deco- ration on their uniforms. Besides the regular star privileges, the wearers of this emblem can declare special holidays for themselves, each is entitled to one holiday for each Head Star . The Star and Circle Club is an inactive organization in that it does not function as an actual club. lts influence is felt by all the cadets, because the Club members hold a position to which the entire Corps aspires. The men who have attained this honor have demonstrated a capacity for hard work and honest effort. Luck does not influence scholarship as many would have us be- lieve. The St. Iohn's idea is to get ahead by hard work. This year's Star and Circle men bear out this adage, and well deserve the merit that is given them. Cadet Caller was the first cadet to join the Star and Circle Club this year. He be- came eligible in October by having the highest scholastic average for the first month. Cadet Galler also maintained his exalted position for the next two months, when Cadet Smith, L. L. took over and re- mained the wearer of the Head Star for the remainder of the school year. Cadets Glaser, Klafta, Purdy, and Wojczak were al- so members of the Club by virtue of the fact that they had attained the highest schol- astic proficiency during previous years. To these men we offer our sincere con- gratulations and best wishes for continued success. fbaaqan Glad The Dragon Club has as its members those cadets who have during their stay at St. Iohr1's placed as one of the twenty most scholastically proficient students. Each month a cadet's average is compiled, and the cadet having the highest scholastic aver- age is awarded the Head Star for that month. The nine next highest cadets receive Gold Stars, while the following ten cadets receive Silver Stars. Each type of star car- ries special privileges such as permission to be absent certain formations and to re- main out of the barracks one hour after taps. As membership in the Dragon Club de- pends solely upon scholastic ability, the only other way to become a member is to be exceptionally proficient in a subject for the entire year. A medal is awarded an- nually in every scholastic subject. Once a cadet wins the right to wear a star or a medal for scholastic excellence, he becomes a life member of the Dragon Club. Because the Dragon Club neither elects officers nor functions socially, it is a unique organization. The club meets but once a year and that is to have its picture taken. Plainly, the Dragon Club is an honor scho- lastic society, but a society of the highest distinction. lt is certainly fitting that Major Holt, the head of the scholastic department of the Academy and the Dean of St. Iohn's, is the head of this honorary organization made up of cadets who have excelled themselves by winning a star or a scholastic medal. 45. ., . 4' .. l,, Q I . .f -S.

'fx 11311 One of the most desired and sought after honors a cadet may attain at St. Iohn's, is to be a member ot the elite S Club. This is one organization that appeals to every cadet, for it has become an American heri- tage to take an interest in athletics, and this club is composed of those cadets who have attained a major letter in one of the Acad- emy's varsity sports. Although this group meets but once a year, it is a coveted dis- tinction to acquire athletic prowess. In view of the stress that St. Iohn's puts on athletics, as an important part ot the balanced lite of work, play, and prayer, this group becomes one ot the largest on the campus. Major letters in any ot the various sports-football, basketball, hockey, track, baseball, or crew, are not easily acquired, so that only men really interested and willing to devote much of their time and hard work can make the grade. Men who have become outstanding in their particular field obtain an even higher award, known as the gold award for that particular sport. This honored club has several privileges. They are permitted to wear the S sweater in place ot the prescribed uniform except when actually engaged in duty. They are also excused from all special formations, such as, movies, games, and the like. The S Club represents the youthful vigor of the cream of St. Iohn's. Cadets Levin, Fusello, Mastous, and Glyman mimi' ew Of the many organizations at St. lohn's, the Officers' Club is probably the most look- ed up to by the cadets for guidance. The purpose of the Officers' Club is to develop and build up among the officers a spirit of cooperation among themselves and the authorities of the Academy, so that they may further the principles that the Main Drag considers as essential in the development of a true military organization. The club meets twice a month, and at these meetings, matters of importance are discussed pro and con by all the members. These discussions are carried on in a busi- ness-like manner, and no one is able to carry a point unless his argument is well founded. Since the organization of this club in 1936, it has found its place in the life of the school and has become an essential part of the organization. This year, the club was 4 under the guidance of Cadet Captain Fusello of the Academy Band as President. Captain Fusello was assisted by Cadet Captain Mastous of the Academy Staff as Vice Presi- dent, Cadet Lieutenant Levin of Com- pany as Secretary, and Cadet Lieutenant Glyman of the Academy Staff as Treasurer. These men carried on the traditions of the club in an admirable manner throughout the entire year. Many enjoyable evenings were spent in the club room by the members indulging in card games, social evenings, and watching television. We know that all the members of the Officers' Club in the future will carry on the established traditions and work for the in- terest of the Corps in establishing good fellowship as they take our places in the future. To the Corps of Cadets, the Officers of l95U say good luck and thank you. UM Bag! Sana' Glad The Old Boys' Sons' Club is a rather closed organization, open only to the mem- bers of the corps whose fathers are alumni of St. Iohn's. Though. the membership of the club this year was ten, the prospects for larger membership next fall look better than ever before. Down deep in the heart of each member of this club is the undying ambition to live up to the highest merits so as to equal or even better the record his father made at the Academy, and many of them have made the grade. Among these cadets We find men whose scholastic averages are high, men who range among the highest in military excellence and rank, and men on many of the Academy teams. The members of the club this year were Hanson, Holle, S. E., Holle, S. R., and Lowerre of Wisconsin: Cutter, Goldberg, and McClelland of Illinois: Alling of Florida: Bridgeman of Minnesota: and Windsor of Ohio. Four of these men are new boys this year. The club at the end of this year will lose its ranking member, namely Cutter, who is graduating. This cadet has made a very excellent record and his father should cer- tainly be proud of hirn. While this club is a club in name only, nevertheless the members have more inti- mate associations than most clubs since their fathers years before were buddies here at St. Iohn's. we '7eam This year's Rifle Team, under the capable direction of its coaches, Sergeant Dale R. Little and Sergeant Michael H. Harger, has done an exceptionally fine job, even though only four of last year's lettermen returned. The team maintained a competition aver- age well over nine hundred throughout eight of the ten scheduled matches, and dropped only one match, that to the Evans- ton Township High School. As well as com- piling an almost perfect record in match competition, the team won third place in both the Hearst Match and the Fifth Army Area Match. The record for the season is as follows: St. Iohn's .... . 903 Northwestern Military . . 854 St. Iohn's . . . . 918 Northwestern Military . . 887 St. lohn's . . . . 894 Marmion Military . . 84l St. lohn's . . . . 905 Marmion Military .... 896 St. Iohn's ...... 890 Evanston Township High School . 9l6 St. Iohn's ...... 885 West Rockford Senior High School 882 St. Iohn's ...... 909 Waukegan High School . . 905 St. lohn's .... 904 Waukegan High School . . 893 As well as team honors, personal awards are bestowed upon the individual members of the team. lf a cadet places in one of the high five on a winning team in shoulder to shoulder competition, he is awarded a Silver Rifle Insignia, which is a distinctive patch worn on the Battle Iacket. If a cadet places in the high five more than three times in one season, he receives a Gold Award. Cadets who earned awards this year were Iohnson, Kindt, Donovan, Levitch, Newcomb, Rimmer, and Werner. The season for the Rifle Team opens in late fall and continues straight through until Spring Vacation, a match being fired every Saturday with the exception of the Mid- winter week-end. It is not a well known activity here at the Academy, for there can be no spectators on the range when a match is being fired. The Cadet Marksmen have done a fine job this year, but it could not have been accomplished without the generous help of its Captain, A. C. Kindt, and its splendid coaches, Sergeants Little and Harger. The members of the team wish to thank these men for a successful and winning year. Kllqaq Glad The Flying Club of 1950, though losing many old members, has gained several en- thusiastic new ones. The members of this year's club include Rimmer, Iordan, H. B., Delaney, Feirn, Koepp, and Towne. Through the kindness and cooperation of Captain Lerch and Major Rafoth we were able to obtain transportation to the airport every Saturday the weather permitted. On these many occasions, the boys would pile into the school station wagon eagerly looking forward to a day's enjoyment. With the excellent instruction of Dale Crites, the owner of the Waukesha County Airport, we have learned to fly safely with no mishaps. Three of us acquired our pilot's rating, and the rest of the members are close approaching this distinction. Many things have happened which afforded amusement as well as an answer to why flight instructors have grey hairy like the time Iordan was taxiing around the field at thirty miles an hour with no one to stop him. Also Rimmer has been known to take off for a half an hour's ride and not been seen for an hour and a half. On top of this, Towne has been seen attempting a take off with the fuel line closed. Colonel Mouso showed a great deal of foresight when he founded the club in l939. Flying has come a long way since those days, and many air-minded individuals now own private planes for business as well as pleasure. The instruction and experience re- ceived now in the St. lohn's Flying Club will prove invaluable in the future, as shown by former members of the club. For example, Bert Pattee, class of '49, now flys his father throughout the country on both business and pleasure. This year's club has had a most success- ful year, and everyone of its members has been pleased with its exciting activities. Zlfinlm Helio Directors-Lt. Mehlos 6: Capt.

Besides having an actual orchestra, the St. lohn's Serenaders, the members were also picked to form a Dixie- land Band, which made quite a hit with the Corps of Cadets. On Saturday, October 22nd, the Seren- aders made their first appearance, furnish- ing the music for the annual St. lohn's Dads' Day show. Their hard work and efforts were compensated by the displayed enjoyment and enthusiasm of the large audience that was present. It was on the afternoon of the Thanksgiv- ing Banquet, that the newly organized fac- tion of the orchestra, the Dixielanders , made their debut. The organization, still in the experimental stage, found in the enthusi- asm and the applause of the Corps, the needed encouragement to continue, and to develop into one of the most popular organi- zations at the Academy. Throughout the entire basketball season, the Dixielanders , of their own volition, furnished music for the enjoyment of the crowd, and the morale of the team. The Serenaders next presented a con- cert on February 12th, to end the Midwinter Festival. lt was indeed a treat to hear the boys play difficult concert pieces, as well as popular and novelty tunes. Their much deserved reward, this time, was an invita- tion to perform for the Dads' Club Ladies Night Banquet, held at the Chicago Furni- ture Mart. Once again, the orchestra proved to be very accomplished and entertaining. The orchestra made their last appearance of the year on Iune 16th, during the Corn- mencement proceedings. Their program on this occasion featured marches, popular tunes, and classical pieces. Such a program could be only an enjoyable one, and made a very nice occasion on which the Seren- aders could end the year's activities. This occasion indeed exemplified a true achieve- ment gained only through diligent work and honest effort. w , , E , fZaJ'4 fbaq St. Iohn's thirteenth annual Dads' Day was held on Saturday, October 22, with over one hundred and fifty fathers attending the festivities prepared by their sons. The Dads started arriving on campus around ten thirty, and were ushered into the main lounge where they registered and re- ceived the program of the day. The large signs decorating the various barracks as- sured the fathers of their welcome as they toured the Academy grounds. At eleven thirty the Dads met with their sons and the members of the Faculty at a brunch served in the Canteen, after which the Corps marched to the football field for a game between St. lohn's and the Pontiac All-Stars. St. Iohn's lost the hard-fought con- test by a score of 7 to 0. After the game a business meeting of the Dads' Club was held in Cypress Hall to elect officers for the com- ing year. At six thirty the Corps and guests were served a steak dinner in the Academy mess hall, after which they assembled in the gymnasium for the program prepared by the Cadets. The program was opened by Mr. H. D. Bench, who in turn introduced Colonel 2 Smythe as the speaker of the evening, act- ing in the absence of General Farrand. After the talk by Colonel Smythe, Cadet Roger Iordan of A Company was introduced and gave a brief Welcome speech on behalf of the Corps. Next on the program Dr. E. Habeck pre- sented a plaque to Mr. Bench in appreciation of the fine work he had accomplished for the Club and the school. Then Mr. Bench presented the new President of the Dads' Club, Mr. G. C. Iohnson, who in turn intro- duced his aides. The program was then turned over to the Cadet Master of Cere- monies, Cadet Leo Keating of G Company. The Corps presented a program of school talent consisting of a skit prepared by each of the various companies, plus individual acts by various members of the Corps. The program certainly was a hilarious one to say the least, and the fathers thoroughly en- joyed themselves. G Company was chosen as the company presenting the best skit, with D running a close second, and A third. All of the companies are to be congratu- lated for their fine efforts, for a more enjoy- able day has not been spent at the Academy in many a year. '7!um Thanksgiving Day this year dawned cold and snowy, for Wisconsin seems to be af- flicted with cold Novembers. The fast mov- ing events of the clay, however, did wonders tor the circulation and spirits, and by the time Taps blew, the majority of the Corps was full, warm, happy, and thankful that the Pilgrims landed in America instead of in Iceland or Russia. Father Croft held the traditional Thanks- giving Day service early in the morning, and after breakfast and police inspection, the Corps of Cadets turned out in full for the annual battle between the heavyweight Kemper and DeKoven football teams. Al- though the weather was cold, and the ground ladened with snow, the game was played with a maximum of energy and sportsman- ship on the part of the teams on the field and their club members in the stands. A good many visitors also turned out to see both clubs battle to a scoreless tie. 5504 After the famous turkey dinner in the Mess Hall, the one for which the Corps eagerly awaits each year, there could be no forma- tion for evening mess. The majority of the cadets were either drowsing on their beds or searching a box from home for more food. The barracks were filled with legs of fried chicken, mince pie, and a host of other things to tempt the palate and better judg- ment. The Thanksgiving Hop was the final event of the day, adding a very enjoyable and colorful touch to the already festive day. The gymnasium was attractively decorated with a stage for the band at one end and a rail fence with pumpkins and corn stalks surrounding the dance floor. Taps came all too early that evening, and Reville even earlier the next morning. Eaeakinq Zffz- gangael' Cn the eve of the eagerly awaited Christ- mas vacation the Corps of Cadets assembled in the gymnasium for the traditional Boar's Head Banquet. This ritual gained its origin at Queens College, Oxford over five hundred years ago, and today, that institution and St. lohn's are the only places where the picturesque procession is reinacted. Apropo to the time in which the original ceremony was per- formed, the setting was that of a medieval castle with General Farrand in the role of Lord of the Manor . The revelers at his feast were the Cadets, Faculty, and guests. Preceded by a flourish of trumpets, the procession, led by the heralds, began. Be- hind them came the standard bearers, clad in chain mail, and carrying the colors of the Corps. Six small castle pages in their laced knickers followed. Chanting their ballad in Latin, the chorus of foresters, in their tradi- tional green of Sherwood Forest, entered. Next, four trencher men bearing the Boar's Head, Hbedecked with bays and rosemary , entered preceded by the castle minstrel. Two scullions and the castle cook followed the Boar's Head, and finally the men-in-arms protected by their chain mail completed the procession. Having marched, chanting, around the Manor, the group presented the Boar's Head to the Lord at the high table. With that, the meal was officially begun. The first of the after-dinner events was the awarding of football letters and a medal to Cadet Eckhardt as the most valuable line- man of the l949 season. Cadet Cutter was presented the California O. B. A. award for being the most valuable player of the year. General Farrand then followed by intro- ducing the speaker of the evening, Senator Wiley of Wisconsin. After the Senator's talk, the other distinguished guests were intro- duced and asked to take a bow. After the guests had been introduced the awarding of the various Best lndividual Drilled and Best Set Up medals took place. When all had been completed, with the singing of a few ballads, and the H M's favorite carol, Silent Night, the regal banquet was dismissed. '7he Mialwinim The high-point of social activities in the scholastic year, the annual Midwinter week- end, began this year on Friday afternoon, February 10th, with the arrival of the first guests .at approximately one thirty. This Midwinter was the sixty fifth annual event of St. Iohn's history, and was in no way different from past years, with all cadets anxiously waiting for it. Formations in the barracks . . . the out of bounds signs at the entrances of the gym and common room . . . the endless train of vagabonds enroute to Smythe and DeKoven Halls from Scott- Iohnson and Hazelwood Halls . . . the pub- lication of temporary quarters and road guard posts . . . numerous telephone calls, letters, telegrams . . , the general trend of confusion and excitement . . . were the un- forgetable signs of the Midwinter Festival. After cleaning their rooms with tooth- brushes and picking the dust from the corners with sewing needles, the unfortunate members of F , G , and the Band were ready to move, in order to leave their homes to the lovely guests. The girls, escorted by their handsome consorts, registered in Cypress Hall at one-thirty. As soon as the guests could slip into fatigue attire, their eager escorts would sweep them away to the ice pond, St. lohn's Club, common room, canteen, or for a walk about our beautiful campus to talk of the events to come. The weather man handed us a set-back when he provided fine spring weather in the middle of winter, thus not permitting the usual winter program. But this did not deter the happy couples who found enjoyment attending the movies in the Chapel base- ment, the skating, and the continual dancing in the common room and the St. lohn's Club. An informal dance at the St. Iohn's Club, Friday, was the high-light of the evening. Ice-skating, sleigh-riding, and the movies were also popular diversions among the many couples. Late Saturday afternoon were held the traditional smoker for fathers of cadets in the canteen and a tea for the mothers and chaperons in the band room. At this time many of the girls returned to their quarters to begin preparations for the biggest event of all . . . the annual Midwinter Dinner and Dance. Before the formal dinner and dance each partner was presented with a beautiful corsage by her escort. The couples, clad in sparkling evening gowns and trim uni- forms, proceeded to the dining hall for a delicious dinner. After dinner the couples began to move to the gymnasium, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion in a fitting Valen- tine setting. The dance started officially with the Grand March led by Cadet Captain Glaser and his partner, Miss Mary Ann Herman. A dramatic arch of steel was formed by the cadet officers and first sergeants. This event was an admirable one to see. The arch of steel, cadets in their handsome uniforms, and the girls in gorgeous gowns made a spectacle that will long be remembered. At ten-thirty the appointments of the Honorary Captains were made. This is an- other high-point of the evening, in which General Farrand and Colonel Smythe pub- lished a Special Order announcing the Honorary Captains, who are the partners of cadet captains. General Farrand and Colonel Smythe then distributed pins which were put on the Honorary Captains by the Cadet Captains. Dancing then continued until twelve-thirty. Sunday morning was a very busy morn- ing for everyone. The girls were packing their belongings, and the cadets were fran- tically cleaning their rooms for the Sunday Morning Inspection which was to be made by the Honorary Captains. Chapel for the cadets and their partners was at ten-forty-five. The service was as usual, but it was different in a sense that it was not only for the cadets, but for cadets and their dates. Sunday afternoon a concert was given in the gymnasium by the Academy Band. During the intermission, the school's fancy drill team put on an exhibition of some high stepping drilling. Five-thirty that afternoon marked the official close of the Midwinter week end. There were many sad faces at mess that evening, for we were all sorry to see such a wonderful week end come to a close. It was a Midwinter that will long be remem- bered, and I would like to speak for the Corps in expressing our gratitude to Colonel Smythe and Cadet Captain Glaser for plan- ning this wonderful event. Zulu ibm, The Corps of Cadets was awakened by the reveille gun on Easter morning, April 9th, to see a blanket of snow covering the ground. This was the same sight which greeted the cadets on Easter morning in l949. After the cannon had been fired, the band played Easter hymns, which has been tradi- tional at the Academy for many years. Reveille formation was held in the bar- racks instead of on the gravel path, because of the snow. After the formation there was a voluntary chapel service, the first of two celebrations of the Holy Communion that morning. After morning mess, which was at eight o'clock, there was a police inspection of quarters, followed by the annual Easter games. The Corps formed in the Common Room wearing Coveralls, and at nine o'clock marched over to the gymnasium, where blind man's bluff and diving for the silver took place. General Roy F. Earrand then an- nounced the boundries for the annual Hunt for the Golden Egg , and the Corps moved out on to the campus. The egg, after a long search, was found by Cadet Bolo of A Company. At eleven o'clock the Corps marched to the Victory Memorial chapel, where the Easter service was held. The choir did them- selves proud in their singing of the offertory anthem Send Out Thy Light , as well as the other selections for the service. The beautiful service was climaxed by Father Croft's sermon, The Inevitability of Easter . A number of parents and other visitors were present, although the bad weather and slip- pery roads kept many guests away. Although the snow fell only intermittently during the afternoon, the muddy condition of the grounds made it necessary to cancel the scheduled ceremonial parade. Evensong took place at five o'clock, and at this time also the Paschal candle was blessed and lighted. The last guests left after chapel, and the school then returned to its regular activities. lun-ffzmfi' lay The Corps of Cadets entertained almost two hundred mothers on Sunday, May l4th, at the annual Mothers' Day observance. They were fortunate in having beautiful weather for the occasion, as the day was sunny and warm, the warmest that had been enjoyed to that date. There was police inspection of quarters at ten o'clock, and morning chapel was held at ten-thirty instead of the usual ten-forty- five. The mothers were asked to register in the visitors' lounge in De Koven Hall as they arrived, and a number of them had already done so when the Corps came out of chapel. The lounge was decorated with a huge bas- ket of spring flowers, the gift of the St. Iohn's Dads' club. As each mother registered she received a small badge in the school colors, bearing the words, St. Iohn's Mother . Noon mess was served at eleven-forty-five to the members of the Corps who did not have guests. At one-fifteen the mothers and their sons sat down to dinner in the mess hall, and during this time General Farrand, the president of St. lohn's conveyed to them his official welcome. This year dessert and coffee were served to all the mothers in the band room in Scott Johnston Hall, instead of dividing them ac- cording to their sons companies. The faculty wives took care of serving the mothers dur- ing this period. A Company presented a formal guard mounting at three o'clock, and at four o'clock the ceremonial parade took place. lust be- fore the Corps passed in review, Major B. H. Rafoth and some of the other members of the faculty arranged for the mothers to line up behind the reviewing officers, in order that they might receive the salute of the Corps as it passed. In their honor, the Academy Band played Mother Machree . The chapel service at five o'c1ock was dedicated to the St. lohn's mothers, and many of them remained to attend the service with their sons. jnfcvunal fbancei Farrand Hall Gymnasium, as well as the St. Iohn's Club, were very busy places this year, for they were the scenes of many in- formal dances and parties. For these occa- sions the Club and Gym would don their best party dress, bedeclced with gaily colored crepe paper and banners, and beam a friendly welcome to the cadets and their guests. Miss Nota lean Magers, the dancing in- structress, was always hClpDY to help the cadets plan the parties. She was influential in obtaining girls from the near-by schools to add the necessary femininity and sparkle to these gala occasions. In turn these girls would invite the cadets to social events at their respective schools. The individual company dances usually included dinner at the Club or in the Mess Hall. A few times the music was furnished by the cadet orchestra, the St. Iohn's Seren- aders , but more often records furnished the music for dancing before and after the din- ner hour. Often times the cadets would provide a floor show during the intermission periods. These performances usually struck a hilari- ous note, and were greatly enjoyed by all. At other times, the cadets and their partners would gather around the piano for a little community singing, or to listen to one of the more accomplished cadets or guests play. These occurrances always added an air of friendly companionship to the gather- ing. The cadets have enjoyed whole-heartedly the informal parties held this year. lt gave them something to look forward to that would break the strenuous routine of mili- tary life. An active social life is a necessary part of modern living and should be in- cluded whenever possible. The cadets have gained much in the way of social poise from these affairs, as well as spending many enjoyable evenings at the Club, and hope that these informal dances and parties will be continued in the future.

St. Iohn's Cadet Band Cadet Captain Frederick Arthur Aiders Class President 155 86:44 P General Farrand, Honored Guests, and Fellow Classmates: What makes a man? What makw a stu- dent? And what makes a gentleman?llA man is he who can take life's tribulations along with its joys without complaint, and teach others by precept and example to do the same. A student is he who has learned How to Study and How to apply himself to the work he has before him. And a gen- tleman is he who is able to fuse together, into his manhood, all those qualities which enable him to take his place in any society. whether it be his own or any other with which he has not been familiar. l have lived here at St. Iohn's with most of you for three years, and I have learned much of what it means to get along with others of my own group. l have no doubt whatever, that my associations with the men of this class have added-more than I might now realize-to what I hope some day to be-a real man and a real gentleman. From the very first day of a new boy's en- trance at St. Iohn's, he begins to form his permanent character. Perhaps the greatest influence on his actual formation is the type of friends he cultivates. So many people judge a man by the company he keeps, and it must be, necessarily, part of his formative years to develop a keenness of choice in those with whom he wants to associate. We, the Class of 1950, have been indeed fortunate in being members of a group in 'HMM which each can call every man his friend. Perhaps the greatest contribution which St. Iohn's has made to us is the lesson of living together in harmony, one with another. If we have learned this well, at the cost of all else, our days have been well spent. Classmates, we are about to leave the se- curity which these ivy-clad walls have given usp we are about to step out into a somewhat troubled world. No longer will we have others, wiser than ourselves, to make deci- sions for us and lead us on toward estab- lishing a real purpose in life. From this day on, we are on our own, to a greater extent than ever before. We stand or fall by virtue of the decisions we make ourselves: we shall hereafter have to pursue a definite purpose and goal as vigorously as we can. Whatever lessons we have learned, whether they be physical, academic, or spiritual, will serve us adequately as a background-much more than we realize at this moment-a back- ground upon which we can begin to round out the fulfillment of our life's purpose. Our parents gave us the fundamentals, the groundwork: St. Iohn's has helped us to find the best means of building upon that ground- work. Certainly we should be ready to face the future ourselves, and able to stand firmly against whatever hardships and difficulties that may lie before us. Wherever you may go, Classmates, and whatever may be your lot in life, may God bless and keep you, and give you the wisdom and courage to be men and gentlemen. CADET CAPTAIN STUART MITTENTHAL Class Orator Elma Uaalian Three years ago, a shy, unsuspecting lad walked through the gates of St. Iohn's Mili- tary Academy. Little did he realize, on that eventful day, that these majestic gates were the entrance to a new life. Of course, that realization did not immediately dawn upon him. For the first few weeks he walked about the campus without noticing his new sur- roundings: his thoughts were only of home. But this nostalgic feeling soon passed when he became absorbed with his new found duties. Such was my experience upon entering St. Iohn's, and such, my classmates, l am sure, was the experience of many of you. Like me you censured your parents, at first, for exposing you to such hardships: but when classes began, when practice was underway and the commands of our drill master were sharp in our ears, our day was so full, our activities so varied and interesting, that we had little time for being home-sick. There were so many new things to learn that the process consumed our every mo- ment. In the classroom, for example, we learned the fundamentals of the practical and theoretical sciences, gained a knowl- edge of history, studied the principles of good government, and developed appreciation for literature and the fine arts. Little by little we rid our minds of prejudices, learned to weigh both sides of every question, to compare and contrast before making decisions. In short, we began, in a small way, to think for our- selves. No less valuable were the lessons learned in other departments. As a result of our military activities, we developed a keen pride in our personal appearance, learned to take and carry out orders faithfully, and generally acquired a deep-seated sense of responsi- bility. Each promotion carried with it addi- tional duties and greater authority and made us more and more responsible for the proper administration of company affairs. This newly acquired authority might easily have gone to our heads had preparation for numerous drill competitions not taught us that while the individual is important, his personal liberties must often be restricted for the good of the group-that team work is absolutely necessary. In sports, too, the importance of team work was impressed upon us. Although physical development and the necessity of disciplining our habits were emphasized by the athletic department, experience soon taught us that the player who is willing to sacrifice personal glory for the good of the team is more important than the star who plays for the grandstand. But perhaps the greatest lesson we learned on the field of play was sportsmanship-fair play and the ability to win or lose graciously. Our most practical lessons, however, were learned in the barracks. Since each com- pany is a small community, barracks life provided excellent, practical training in citi- zenship and self government, the very es- sence of democracy. These few examples are ample proof that we have not wanted for valuable training in the classrooms, on the drill field, on the playing ground, or in the barracks. Nor has the spiritual life been neglected at St. Iohn's. ln the brief, daily services, held in the beau- tiful Chapel, where all faiths are served, we found time to meditate and count our bless- ings. Too, we have found in our able Chap- lain a friend to whom we might, and did, turn in time of need. Our lives, as these examples plainly show, have truly been lived according to St. Iohn's beloved motto: Laborare, Ludere, Orare . And as we worked, played, and prayed to- gether, we learned to know, admire, and re- spect each other. In short, we became friends, almost brothers. However, until recently these friendships were almost taken for granted: but now, as we begin to realize the finality of Commencement: as we become aware of the loss we are about to suffer, the full significance of those bonds which tie us so closely together is becoming more and more apparent. We begin to understand what the poet must have felt when he said, To leave is to die a little. Sunday afternoon, we must part, perhaps forever from buddies with whom we have lived night and day. We shall probably never again meet as a group, never again attend classes in these ivy-covered, tradition-haunted halls, never again salute the beacon, never again be called St. Iohn's Cadets. So, as we part, we, too, shall die a litt1e . But we must not dwell too long on thoughts too deep for tears 5 let us, instead, end these brief remarks with an expression of appre- ciation for the patient assistance and en- couragement we have received from our teachers and parents. Together, they have molded us, have shaped us as we are. The debt of gratitude we owe them for making it possible for us to stand here, as we do tonight, can never be repaid: but as we go out through those beloved gates, on Sunday, we shall carry with us a firm resolve to so live that they will never regret what they' have done for us. 01644 Poem CADET LIEUTENANT WAYNE HOCHMUTH Class Poe! I. We have come to a fork in life's road: There's a choice to be made, but we falter, Because, whether for good or for ill, Our choice, once it's made, will not alter. ll. But before we determine our choice, Let us cast our thoughts backward awhile: Let remembrance recall the loved scenes That served happy hours to beguile. IH. Let's recall how our weak steps have strengthened, How we charted the road we're to take And by dint of long hours spent in learning, How our young minds have grown-come awake. lV. How the stamp of St. lohn's is upon us, Giving strength, of to work or to play And should troubles or sorrows befall us, As they will, giving courage to pray. V. So strengthened, we walk down the long road Of life, leaving prints in Time's sandy While the future shines brightly before us And the world's in the palm of our hand. VI. So mark us, the men of tomorrow, We who bear a new hope for the world: We have visions of splendor before us And we march with our banners unfurled. VII. To our friends, and our teachers and loved ones We can ne'er say enough for their aid: They have taught us of virtue and courage And for them we'll face life, unafraid. VIH. So a toast to our Classmates of Fifty A toast to St. Iohn's, strong and true: A toast to the future before us And a last toast, Old Comrades, to you.

Academy. I PRIVATE IST CLASS FRANK ZACHRY Class Prophet 01644 ffaaplrecaf General Farrand, ladies and gentlemen, faculty, guests, cadets, and that group of eighty-six individuals who come up for pa- role on the l8th: I come before you tonight in the role of class prognosticator, which means prophet to you inmates. Gnce upon a time, when I was young and ignorant of parental ways, I prophecized that I would never attend a mili- tary academy, that I would run away first. Now that it is clear to you all just what kind of prophet I am, I shall endeavor to delve into the mystic future. We have a young man here at St. Iohn's who blinds people by merely removing his hat. That unusual character is one Bog Williams, who, I find, after ten years has switched from Wild Boot Cream Oil to Tame Strand Bear Grease and still combs his hair with a damp wash rag. Give the kid a couple of more years and he'll have to start using a blitz rag like me. Going twenty years into the future, we find our finical friend from Beatrice, Nebraska, Brand Adams, drowning his sorrows over a super malt after reading Twilight Men . I-Iearing a rush of wings overhead, he runs out in time to see his buddy, Bill Platt, come in for a perfect landing. All past sorrows are forgotten in his great joy at seeing Billy again. Up Michigan way, I notice an article in the daily paper which reads: 'Papa Fritz' Alders, golf's Babe Ruth, in hospital after serious accident. Upon further investigation, I find that Papa Fritz , one time baby sitter in G Company, tried to change the posi- tion of his golf ball in the final round of his championship match with Ioe Louis and Ioe switched to boxing instead of golf. On the other hand, 'Stu', maybe you can read better than you hear Mittenthal, has gone to Hollywood, changed his name to Kelly, and can't understand why they don't make him a star in three years like they did at St. Iohn's. Maybe if you callous your knees like you did here they will, Stu . Moving on to some B Company men in the future, we find 'Iack', she's all mine and how can she help it? Stuhmer, who is still wondering about the 1950 Spring vaca- tion and just exactly what took place at St. Iohn's while he was away. lack is still at Miami U. in Ohio, he figures it's better to be a big frog in a little pond than a little frog in a big pond. Iohn lust call me coach Robinson is still running a close second fid- dle while working as crew coach at good old San Iuan's. Down Chicago way, we find good old, Digger Friedrichs, who is on vacation from his work at St. Iohn's as head yes-man . He keeps in condition by eating two dozen bananas a day. Looking into the priesthood, and St. Iohn's has always had its quota of men in that honored profession tit says herel, we find Pious lim Yates, who almost made the White Rose tand he certainly deserves an A for effortl reading the Bible for the 555th time. You know, Classmates, it's not a bad idea having a Sky-Pilot among us. There are plenty of us who need his prayers. Looking in down Childrees way, we find 'Iack', even on the dance floor Best, the Yankee turned Texan , herding his chil- dren into their stalls for the night. Head foreman at Iack's Baby Ranch is 'lim' Dixie Irvine, who takes over when the boss goes soft. Getting back to A Company grads, I find the only man to run for Class Treasurer and win Secretary instead. That man is Tony, tell her I'm sleeping Stolz, who in twenty years is running a fishing club in Boston. Every day he takes a fishing party out on Nantucket Sound to fish for striped bass. One of his chief customers is Kenneth Mouth Sambursky, who has learned to keep his conversation down to a mild roar in order not to scare the fish away, Ken , you know, earned a B.S. degree at Southern Cal without cracking a book. All kidding aside though, folks, the Class of Fifty is not one to be ashamed of in any manner. Scholastically and on the field of athletics, this class has proven itself worthy of the fine institution from which it will re- ceive those sheepskins . In a small school like this a person gets mighty close to the fellows around him, and graduation brings its sorrows as well as its joys. Here most of us learned the meaning of Friendship, Honor and Duty, and Manhood. Next Sun- day we will fly like the wind to our respec- tive homes, but a part of us will remain here at St. Iohn's, and we shall never forget the trials and tribulations, joys and sorrows, friends and enemies encountered here. I want 'to take this opportunity to wish every one of you eighty-six men the best of luck in the world. I'll never forget you. SERGEANT BURTON ALPER Class Dator Glafu fbaiaa General Farrand, parents, honored guests, cadets, and you, my victims for tonight: By some grave mishap I was chosen Class Dator, and it is my duty to brighten up the latter part of the evening. I have received many threats and have listened to many propositions, but none have been good enough. So fellow classmates, as long as you can't make it worth my while, l'll have to proceed. First, I need a bright, able-bodied, and willing assistant. But since we have no one of this description in the Class of l95O, Eck- ardt will have to do-so come forth, Oh Mighty Ioe Young , and we will get on with the show. Will my first victim, lim Irvine, com- monly called The Moocher , please come forward? Now lim , I understand that you haven't bought a cigarette all year. So I want you to collect enough money from the members of our class to buy a carton from my assistant. But, you may not collect over twenty-five cents from any one person. Now, on your way, Tulsa . While lim is out collecting, we would like to settle for all times the disputed ques- tion of who has the biggest nose - now don't worry Penochoe , we won't call on you. The following men please come forward: 60 Gil Levitch, lack Miller, and lim Kiser. Let's see . . . a slide rule . . . oh yes, we need someone to operate this complicated ma- chine. So, will P, P.'s assistant, Wayne Hochmuth, please come forward? Now Wayne, we have the three noses of the school, and a slide rule-so go to it, and may the best nose win. The winner is Gil Levitch. Here Gil is a small memento which I want you to wear for the duration of the evening. Irvine comes back. Here lim , are your cigarettes, which I Want you to pass out to those who supported you all year. And now we come to Hog, Baldy Wil- liams, whose forehead was voted most likely to recede. Here Hog , a little something to save your hair, or replace the lost ones. A bottle of water and a package of grass seed. We would like to call upon the man with many voices but only one funny face, lim Klafta. lim , how would you like to give us an impersonation of General Farrand and his experiences concerning the Owen Stanley Mountains and the Waukesha White Rock Water? tKlafta performsl Thank you, lim , and for your efforts, a bottle of none other than our own Waukesha White Rock Water! Ah yes, I have here a little present for Ken Sambursky. Will you please come up and get it, Sam . Clvlirror and remarks concerning Sambursky's conceit? A certain member of the Senior Class has asked me to do him a favor, but first we need Neal Elkin. Now Neal, it seems that Nancy has a ring of lack Stuhmer's, and he is afraid to ask her for it. So, will you please go and get it for me? Nancy is seated right over there. Speaking of lack Stuhrner, I have here a letter written by him. So, will you please come up here and read it to us, Iack ? CGive him letter to read and ring for presentl The letter: Dear Batman, alias Bruce Wayne: For many years I have been an ardent admirer of yours, and have wished to pos- sess the same wonderful qualities which you have. I am tall like yourself, quite handsome, extremely strong, and an exceptional athlete. I like to be the center of attrac- tion, but can keep a secret such as yours, if so desired. I have the same qualities which Don Iuan had, in fact, I have three dates for the senior dance tomorrow night. I have a problem: which one shall I take, Mincie, Nancy, or Marilyn? I am sure that you have been confronted with a similar prob- lem many times in your extensive career, and would gladly help me out. And so my most admired idol, I will close now hoping to receive a responsive reply. Your faithful servant, Iohn Smythe Stuhmer Big Wheel of St. Iohn's Harry Birchard, front and center. I would like you to sing us a song. And just to make sure you won't back out, here are the words. tSheet of music? That was fine. .Please take these rings and our best wishes for a happy marriage. I have here a Special Order concerning Coachie Robinson, but I would like Mitch Glaser to read it. Will both of you boys step forward? CGive order to Glaserl Special Order: Headquarters, St. Iohn's Corps of Cadets Delafield, Wisconsin, I6 Iune, 1950 Last Special Order: l. By direction of the officers of the Class of 1950, and with the approval of the Class Dator and Assistant, Cadet Iohn Conley Robinson is hereby authorized and direct- ed to give Chick the persecution medal for persecution above and beyond the call of duty to said Cadet Robinson. By Order of B. M. Alper Official: Mitch Glaser Senior Captain and Big Boy of School Here, Coachie , present this medal to Chick . There are two members of the Class who excel in flying and in automobile racing. Hot Rod Blakely and Goggles Rimmer please step forward. Here are a hot-rod and a plane. You will now race to determine which is the faster. Go to it boys, and may the best machine win. And now, let's hear from Binky Camp- bell. Bob , I have here a letter which is actually a formal invitation for you to stay at the Smith home any time you want. Here, Bob , read it to the audience. During the year, C Company, called the Robots , have been noted for their efficiency --so will all Robots of the Senior Class except Sambursky and Barker please step forward. Now, Cal , I want you to form a platoon, excluding Morgan of course. That's fine. Now Barrow, here's the oil can - make sure they are well oiled before they venture forth. tI..ist of commands and guns and saberl Go to it, Cal . What do we have here? A diaper, maybe? Take it easy, Bintz. It's for Alders. Come here Fritz . Don't be bashful. We have all heard of your ability to change diapers, and we know you have had enough experience, so - take this dozen, complete with pins as a small remembrance. Now Fritz , before you go, walk over there to lim Mastous and apologize for taking his job away from him. Ah ha, Couchie Mittenthal, front and center. Stu , we all know the trouble you have arising in the morning. So to ease your troubles, I want you to take this permit to sleep through morning mess and have break- fast served in bed over to Chick , and have him sign it. Will the biggest grafter of the year please come forth? Yes, Lokken, that's you. Here is a medal for your fine work. Now I know we should call your roommate up here, but we all know what D. D. D. D. means, so there really isn't any need. Phil Schwartz, I know your girl is up here, so I won't mention all your experiences with Butch . But here is a dollar, your graft money for helping to swing the class elec- tions. Now go back to your girl and explain all about Butch . Cory , we all know that you have taken Russian from Dangerous Dan , but we don't know what you have leamed. So, please stand up and say something. That was fine -and here is a pack of matches for the smokes you never have. We have one in every class-Efficiency - so will No-demerits Evans step forward? Here is a demerit for Gross Efficiency during Entire Year, and a medal composed of a broom and a dirty rag. As yes, from one extreme to another, come here lack Best. You have an excellent rec- ord tor Inefficiency, so we are awarding you the Black Thorn , a penny, and a scholar- ship to Alcoholics Anonymous . Well, friends, I guess this ends my evening of mirth. But before I step down into that revengeful crowd, I want to become serious for just one moment. We have lived together this past year, played together, and prayed together, but after Sunday we shall all de- part from St. Iohn's, never to return as cadets. It is going to be hard, as this past year has been a splendid year for all of us, and I would like to let you know that you are the most wonderful group of friends a fella could have. It has been wonderful living with you and I will miss you one and all.
