His .engaging smile and friendly fgreetlng have won him s. host of riends oth at school and in town. During his :Rare time he has been working at e LIIIIGI' Hotel where he has -risen to the Kosition of Bell Captain. At school e has consistently led his classes. Possessing a pleasant voice he has been a main-stay of the glee club during his stay at St. Joseph's. He 18.0119 of the few Gl's attending this school. We do hope that he will miss us as much as we will miss him when he goes back to the Smoky City to continue his stud- ies at one of the Pittsburgh Uni- versities. Good luck, Jerry, and come back soon! V Wuenschel, Gerard A. Mt. Oliver, Pennsylvania. Glee Club 25 Class President 2. If you were driving West some morning and met a rambling' old wreck of a car headed for ays, with a tiny Cadet at the wheel, in all probability it was Johnny Rupp steamin towards St. Joseph s from Ellis. Ahhough Johnny is small in size, he makes ug: for it in word and work. John as been with us for the full span of six years and is thoroughly one of the Cadets. His readiness to enter into an ar- gument have made him the center of countless bull sessions and in future years he will prohably be gathering all the little Rupps around him to tell them how hard HE had to study, especially in Chemistry. A very likeable fe ilow, Johnny will, in all robablhty, build up the Ellis Hardlware Store into an international chain. Here's luck to you, John, and don't forget to stop in and see us often. Hill, William. Las Animas, Colorado. Glee Club 2. Rupp, John. Ellis, Kansas. Glee Club I: Crack Platoon I. You might be at St. Joseph's for several months and never know that a Cadet named Billy Hill is there. He is that quiet! Bill insists on minding his own business and the good part is that he gets it done. The saying: Still waters run deep can be applied perfectly to Bill. Bill has majored in Chemistry and Jon can find him any hour of the ay or night .in the Laboratory at some ex en t p men or other, whether filling the house with foul-smelling gases . or plunging the science wins into darkness with blown fuses. t has been a real pleasure knowing you Bill, and we wish you all luc or your future. unior Cofdge jreaAmen C.

Whereas max? schools lool: only to the develop- ment of the body and the mind, at' t. Joseph's the growth of the spir- itual life is also regulated. The students attend daily Mass, receive the Sacraments frequently besides takin? the prescribed courses in Re- ligion. The annual retreat and-other re iglous exercises impress upon the Cadet the necessity of having a firm religious foundation upon which to build the future. 54 fm? 1 , . 4. s YIEAIRIBOUIK STAFF Preparations for the production of On Parade ' were made at the beginning of the year. The business staff immediately went to work to solicit advertising and made out very well. By Christmas about half the book had been com leted, when a period of lethar y set in. with the com- ing of Spring andg the a proach of the dead-line, the staff members finally got busy to get the book out on time.

Haas' - ee, , Rupp, R. ea The Cadet Journal lay dormant for almost eight months until it ' h il burdened had its first edition this year. Since the faculty is so eav y with classes and other activities, it was found practically impossible to have one of the Faculty to supervise, arid on y when the students themselves finally roused up enough ambition to work on the paper without faculty prodding, was something accomplished. Lack of proper facilities and an extremely heayy sche.ule are the chief reasons why the Journal has had such few editions this year. ' o s' V fr ir., an sh K. . S..

As is the case eve - where, not every student avails himslelf of all the opportunities offered, and in fact no one person could take all the cours- es offered ln the regular High School course. St. Joseph's feels that it is as well equipped in its degartments as any school in the country, alt ough It could st d increase in f an an aculty rnembers for the pres- elnt. ones are handling reall t e y more than xr proper share of work. .' f 'l g Typin 58 g is a favorite subject.

During the football and basketbafl season, in- tramural games are played by the various squads an platoons o the school. The platoon having the most wins in the various sports has its name inscribed on a plaque as the champion of the year. Other sports included in this pro- gram are: handball, volley ball, ing- ong and tennis. in this way, every 'Cadet has tllie oppor- tunity to play in a sport which he likes. . .., - ml.: f ,-J' e-eb The Intramural Basketball Champs. , W - ph' !

Nijit after night, week after week you will find the membersnof the Platoon out on the drill field oing through their routines trying to achieve nothing short of per- fection. The various exhibitions they have put.on bear witness to the long hours of drill they have gone through. Visiting notables are dis- tinctly impressed with the neat precision of the outfit in their role of honor guard, and many and favorable have been the comments of all who have witnessed their precision demonstrations. Membership in the organization is limited to 32, and it is a proud Cadet whose name ap- pears on its rolls. In marching formation.

The outstanding musical achievement of the year was the production of the Choral Passion Play. Before the war the annual pro- duction of the Passion Play drew a large and a preciative audience from the far corners of tlliie State. This year's production was some- thing of a novelty in that there were no spoken lines by any of the actorsg instead, a mixed chorus presented the lines in the form of chor- uses and solos, while .a narrator wove the en- tire story together with a continual COIIIIDCD- tary. The combined choruses of Girls Catholic High and St. Joseph's are to be commended for their splendid rendition of the sacred texts. Orchids also to Fr. Tim- othy and Sr. Milberga, the directors, Fr. Hyacinth, the organist, Fr. Terence, the narrator, Fr. 'Paulmus and crew of stage-hands for their smooth presentation of 7, the action, Sr. Cletus for the gg Y splendid .lighting effects, 6 and the silent cast, chosen K from both schools, for their devout and insplrin por- X h trayal of the action.

Besides the club-room facilities of the school and the intra-mural program, the Cadets have an occasional dance or ball to liven the yea.r's events. The first dances of the 'year were mixers and date dances with a Juke box furnishing the music. The big event of the year was the annual Gridiron Ball honoring the .school athletes. with a good band furnishing the music it was pro- nounced a lgrand success. 'lihe Sweetheart Ball, usual y held about St. Valentine's Day, was not held this year. All in all it was an enjoyable year, but we look fior- ward to the new recreation building which promises to provide more and better fa- cilities for loafing away our leisure hours.

I 1 ADX REPEAT PERFORMANCE It is the ambition of every coach to turn out a winning ball team and Coach Si -Palmer is no exception to the rule. Since he first stepped into the driver's seat for the Cadets in the fall of 1943, he has set a record of which any coach can be proud. Since coaching for the Blue and White, Coach Palmer has run up a very im- pressive record of 38 wins to 9 defeats and 2 ties, which, for a 6 year period, gives his teams a record of .800. In addition to this he has coached his teams to a State Championship, two League Titles and a League tie. If I, V ' .2 ' 175' E 4, , p 9 ff! S. Palmer, Head Coach. 85,45 Assisting Coach Palmer this year was Head Basket- ball Coach Paul Stenger, a graduate of St. Joe's. Paul as assisted Si for the past two ears and has estab- lished' a very good record for the B squad, by coach- ing them to another unde- feated season. Much of the credit for this year's fine showing is certainly due to Paul for his untiring effort with the boys on the field of practice. A P. Stenger, Assistant Coach CADETS WIN STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE FOR 1948 Playing the first annual Sunflower Bowl game on Thanksgiving Day against the mighty Lawrence Tigers, Champions of 1947, the Ca- det team emerged victorious in as thrilling a ball game as one can hope to see in High School Athletics. By defeating the Tigers 20-14, the Cadets annexed the mythical State Champion- ship Title. The Cadets in playing their best game of the season, out-played and out-fought a strong Eastern team which rated the Number One spot in the State last year, and several times this season. The one big difference between the two teams was Marion Schmidt who sparked the team to victory with his brilliant running, pass- ing and kicking. ln playing his best game he showed all fans present why he made the All- State team this year. To pick out others of the team might seem like partiality, for everyone on the team gave all he had. Dan Pfeifer, Center, Paul Friskel, Back, and Ends Doerfler and Gerstner really ganged up on the opposition and held them to small gains. The entire line was superb. The School and all its backers were proud of the Cadets as they never were before. The game was marked by outstanding sportsmanship and exceptionally clean play, a fact which was com- mented upon by all the officials. HHAMP R. Haas, Tackle. Y- , P. Friskel, Back.

D.'s FOR A SUCCIBSFUL YEAR ln the first ame of the Year, the Cadets skinned the hi hi?-touted Wi dcats of ElDor- ado 19-6. Diehl, luker and Schmidt made spectacular runs while Schmidt's passing av- eraged 41 yards per pass. On the defensive l Clete Dreiling, LeRoy Gerstner and Leo Dreilmg were outstanding in stopping the Wildcat's offensive, setting the 'Cats back a total of 34 yards. The next non-league Same was played against the Wichita Cathe ral Shamrocks of the powerful Ark Valley League. The Sham- rocks withered under the Cadet heat and end- ed up on the short end of a 28-6 score. Schmidt again starred by scoring 3 of the 4 touchdowns and averagin 10.5 yards per try from scrim- mage. Friskef had a perfect day with four placements in four trys. The Atwood Buffaloes were next in the Cadet abbatoir where they were dressed down to a 39-0 final. ln this game Palmer used every man available on the adet bench and thus gave the subs much valuable playing experi- ence. Schmidt and Fluker sparked the team in their usuall brilliant manner. In the final quarter Bobby F rlskel got away to several long runs. The l-lugoton Eagles were the next to be clipped. Playing one of the finest games of the season, the Ca ets cut loose with a dazzling assing attack which left the high-flying Eag- lies de initely grounded. The final score: 20-0. The, final non-league game of the season was against Phillipsburg which the Cadets took to the tune of 37-0. The game was played for the most part in a snowstorm. ., -1.

Wa- f3.Q'-Q.-f -' Keeney, represented by a character in tradi- tional undertaker's attire, was the chief mourn- er. The procession moved from the North goal 'Zif7 to the 50 yard line to the lugubrious strains of K Choppin's Funeral March. At the 50 yard line, the coffin was displayed to both sections of the stand amid the cheers of the spectators. With the crack of the gun marking the end of the game, the Union Pacific League was dead. .J A . - ?f'2'7 A iii .1 lg: Y l N 'N is 3 4 R F 1 s J 5' S AI ' ' .. , J L w I A ' . 3,3 ' ' ,-fll I' , Ii, 1 V 'I C A.

' CADETS TAKE TITLE IN LAST YEAR OF U. 'P. LEAGUE The 1948 Football season will long be re- membered in Cadet annals. By coming thru the season undefeated, the Cadets took the U. P. League Title besides annexing the mythical State Championship. The first game of League play was against the Ellis Railroaders. Ellis was primed for the game and played bang-up ball throughout. While the Cadets led in the statistics, they could not get a coordinated touchdown drive going. Bob Fluker was the outstanding player of the night.' It was a close game throughout and kept the fans on the edge of their collective seats. The Cadets won 14-0. The second league game was played against the Russell Broncos. Although the Ca- dets out-played the Broncos, they did not out- fight them in a rather one-sided game which ended with a score of 26-6 in our favor.

I-Th B SQUAD DUPLICATES A RECORD The B S uad, under the able tutelage of cl'aul Stenger, came through with an undefeated and un- tied record for the 1948 season. Under this heading, we must mention the un- tiring work of Vince 'Badsik who gave unstmtingly of his time and effort, to help make this a banner year for the Athletic Department. The UB' s uad gave every prom- ise of bein ablle to move up mto the shoes of the raduating A squad members. We feel that i Palmer will not have to lose many hairs next year in whipping his '49 squad into shape. The NB' squad's record for the year was uite im ressive: 6 wins and no losses. clloupledj with last year's re- cord of 4 wins' and 1 tie, gives a two- year record of 10 wins, no losses and 1 tie.

Durmg the regular season the team set what appears to be a record for losing by one point: five times did victory elude their grasp by just one polnt. But while they took it on the chin, the boys did not give up or become de- feat-consclous. Their fightin s ir- it. showed itself final? in the Re- gional Tournament w ere the Ca- dets came through to the finals to win themselves-a trophy. Indeed it was a fitting 'climax to the season: 18 losses, 3 wins, AND a TROPHY! B T EA M The B team, in following the example of the Varsit squad, had for itself a ratherimedgocre season. Under the direction of Assistant Coach Palmer, the youu sters learned the fundamenta s og the game, and gained valuable exper- ience on the court.

In the re- turn match the tables were turned just exactly, with the Cadets wmninlg the match points while . lis led with the bouts.

As we leave St. Joseph's, our profes- sors and our friends, let us go back through our own history and revive a few memories of the days gone by: proof that high school was not so bad after all. FRESHMAN YEAR The calendar tells us that it was Sep- tember 4, 1945, when we, the greenest of the -green the future '49ers, first entered St. oseplifs. There we were, sitting around the East entrance with the ol timers surrounding us. At first we were afraid to talk but soon the ice was broken and everyone tried to talk at once. On that day we met many who later became our close friends, not only for the duration of the school term, but, we believe, for 1 e. Remember when we were issued our uniforms?-oh,, those beautiful, well-fit- ting O. D. uniforms! All of them had to be form-fitting, that isg Kaur form had to fit the uniform. It was t en we learned that the Army has two sizes, Large and Larg- er. Sgt. Adams just said: 'Who cares about a few sizes one way or another? Later on we found out that someone did care: the first officer you met..After a few weeks our uniforms were tailored to fit and we did look pretty sharp at that! Ah, yes, then came the trouble of finding the classrooms. Of course they had numbers on them, but they had them distributed over four floorsg in this wing and that, left and right-well we finally found them, after getting such directions as: Up two floors, down four classrooms, turn right at the left win ,fo left at the third door from the second rinking foun- tain, and it isthe second door riight across the hall. No wonder we all ma e straight A's lfor Absent, that isl the first week. The poor professors fGod bless themll did not say much to us at first, but judging from the wrinkles which developed on their brows they must have been wonder- ing how they ever got such a collection of numb-skulls together in one lplace. Occasionally we had a xttle trouble with the bull rings not much, just a mat- ter of a few hundred hours. We were really such angels! Remember when some- one gave you the first one of your career? x kv 9 an ' . l f ' M 4.4 JA Of course, you objected, but objections have a way of being over-ruled, ou would saly: No, Father, it couldn't ol? been me w o threw that paper wad during Histo Classy absolutely not! - - - You marcheldl Just now a familiar word pops up: 0.

D. woul come along at the critical moment, and . . . well, you know the rest. Life can be so cruel. This was the year we had the good football team, a team which went on the next year to even greater heights. We won all our games that ear except the one with Hays Hi I our old, jinxl. lt was a hard one to. lose but we made up for it in the following Mears. When ay rolled around we felt pret- tg well at home, in fact we knew we had t e whole thing licked. All we wanted was the next year and a chance to show them!

In our own estima- tion we were in for a blg time-we were going to show them what could be ac- com lished with so much talent around. Sid friends were found again, endless bull sessions soon brought out all the thin s we had done during the summer, in short, the year started with a bang. This time we knew our wag' around the supzply room, and when the eargent tried to oist any old uniform that came to hand on us, we et out a big enouilh squawk to be heard and have our wls es fulfilled. Our choice, what choice there was, was l t ui ke d b tter. a o q c r an e First among the events of the year was the arrival of Lt. Col. Elmer L. Knight U. S. A., as head of the military staff and P. M. S. 8: T. His arrival pn November 11, 1946 marked the beginning of many im- provements in the ml itary conduct of the school. lt was under his fine direction that Ygllginally made Honor School Rating in Sgt. Frank Richardson, U. S. A., also arrived that fall. He took over the ob of lst. Sgt. on the staff and later took clharge of the Crack Platoon, building up this out- fit into an outstanding organization. Remember when we came back from Christmas vacation and were geeted by that huge mass of canine fur, uke7 Hls full name was Yankee Duke, and he car- ried a pedigree that went back at least to the Mayflower. Duke was a great favorite of the Cadets but his unbreakable habit of wandering off to town for days at a time proved to be his undoing. Duke was AWO so .often that the Rev. President felt thatnhls bad example might have an adverse influence on the boys, so he was sold up the. river: to Catherine that is, where he still remains. So if you're riding through the hills of Catherine some day and meet a.St. Bernard along the way, you'll know lt's Duke. lt was during this year that the Me- morial Gateway was begun in memory of the Alumni and Cadets who took part in World War ll. This was also the first year we used the new tennis courts and skating rink. Some of the students, under direction of the Faculty, had begun to work on leveling of the space for the tennis courts during the late Spring. During the Sum- Father Terence and Duke. mer, the Faculty undertook the ,iob of lay- ing the cement for the courts. The area ll 110 by 114 feet, all in concrete, which contains space for two tennis courts. A six-inch high curbing was built around the court to allow the courts to be flooded m the winter, providing an excellent.skat- ing rink, better than a quarter acre m ex- tent. lf you think back hard enough ypu will remember what trouble we had with the bull -ring. A few' of us even surpassed last ear's records in hours on that lovedy march. They sag. that opportunity raps but once but in t ll case, lt kept on knocking. On the brighter side o the fence we can remember that at last we got a little authority, yes, genuine author- ity. Some of us were Corporals and Ser- eants, - why even a few became Staff Sergeants before the end of the year. This was one of our outstanding years in athletics. The football team was scored upon only once, by Ellis, and that by a fluke. And it was a year to remember for we beat Ha s Hi 28-O! The track team did even better. Spark- ed by Captain John Carlnody, we took the Class A State Championship for the 5 , 1 ia L- wf- i I 5.33.-gangs., '- -'r5',g,v.g:j, -A L Volley ball on the new tennis courts. 63 wen . Jinx' B . Z to burn the Nam afln first time in the history of the school. The beautiful trophy they received is by far the finest on our collection. The school will never forget that year, and neither will we! . JUNIOR YEAR No, we were not going to run the school this year: this time we figured on laying off for a year and giving t e others a chance. Somehow things were not much differ- ent from last year. There were no radical chan es in the- schedule except for the dreaded demerlt system. Oh, those demer- its! Why did we get so many at one tune? Wh did we not realize at the time that hooking a smoke carried six demerits? The hard part of it was that for every one over ten, we had to march an hour in the bull ring. We had to be oh-so-careful now. You were afraid to approach the Bulletin board where the demerit list was kept for fear of finding your own name among the other victims. I guess we were not slick BDO!-I-ith to get .away with anything. e Memorial Gateway was completed and dedicated this year. he names of all the alumni who fought in the war and the names of those who gave their lives for their country are perpetuated on the tow- ers of the Gateway ln large bronze plaques. It is a beautiful and itting me- morlal. The big thing' of the .year was the Re- treat and what .appene during that ex- ercise: the burning of the chapel. Al- though the damage to the chapel was ex- tensive due to smoke and water damage no other damage was done to the rest of the building. Father Terence was partial- li overcome by smoke inhaled in rescuing t e Bl. Sacrament, but he shortly recover- ed. After the chapel was repaired and re- decorated it was more beautiful than ever. . Paul Llrban '40, returned to the .school this year as a teacher ln the Plxllcl de- partment. He had served in the rmy for court years and had reached the rank of a am. P Another high point in the year was the lzlonor School nspection. lt was the first time that we passed all the r uirements satisfactorily. We were ranting a rating of Excellent, and entiged to wear the white star on the sleeve of the uniform. Our thanks are due to Col. Kni ht and his military staff, including Caphi... Weigel, for their untlring efforts in getting us through that inspection. The Year was not outstanding in sports: we lost the annual football game to the lndxans: I guess they were just get- ting their revenge for last year's drubbmg. Basketball was just so-so. The rifle team came through with another trophy and that was about the extent of our athletic prowess for the year. S E N I O R Y E A R When we came back this ,year we somehow felt a little different. his was to be our.last year at St. Joseph's, and we were Seniors, the ones all the rest of the school look u to. We hated to think that this was really the last year, but even the beat of things must some tune come to an en . There were quite a few new improve- ments about the Jalace when we returned, things which ma e life a little more pleas- ant and easier. New lights had been instal- led in the locker rooms, water fountains L. --.J Bishop Thill blesses the new Gateway. had sprung up on the drill field and ten- nis courts, and the hand-ball courts were finall finished. Hand-ball was somethmf new here: at first few were mtereste , then the tennis team began uslngfhe walls for practice and then interest lnally be- gan to pick up, so that now dyou can.go out at almost any free perio and find several ames in ro ess. By this time Nii. .fdhn Lang, the cam- us caretaker, had finally lai the last Erick of the new parking airon in front of the school. He did the wor . of five men and it took him only fifteen times as long. This parking apron made the front of the building much neater in appearance be- sides providing a place to qlark a car so that it would not sink into t e mud up to the axles. . We again had some new members on the faculty: Father Anselm and Captain Schmal. Fr. Anselm came to the school and took over as Assistant Dean of Dis- cipline. He was a great help to Fr. Paul- inus because . . . well, we did get into trouble once in a while! Captain Schmal, Assistant P. M. 5. 8x T., had previously served overseas before coming to St. Jos- eph's as regrlacement for Captain Wei el. Remem er that famous mixer we gad along about December, that one which got us into so much trouble? You should hard- ly foriet that one for it was the last one we ha for a long time. Of course we had it coming to us for you must admit that if aaa get s miie wila. This year produced one of the greatest football teams ever to come from St. Jos- eph's. The team went through the season undefeated, then took Lawrence the de- fending State Cham ion in the iiirst An- nual Sunflower Bowl, game on Thanks iv- mg day. They'll be talking about aut game for years to come. Besides taking the mythical State Championship, Marion Schmidt made the All State Team as Co- captam, and Bob Fluker won an Honor- able Mention. We also took the last trophy of the now-defunct U. P. l..eague. And the sweetest .thing of the season was the scalp- mg administered to our old Indian Jinx: Hays HI. The basketball season was an anti-cli- max. After losing 18 out of 19 games, the Cadets went through to the Re xonal Fm- als where they were defeated my Russell who went on through to the State Cham- pionship. 3 games to our credit for the year, but we won a trophy! ,Tam- Last, but definitel not least was the s lendid rifle team. The trip to boonville, lac., proved to be an eventful one since they brought home two of the finest tro- hies in our collection. The team won the Midwest Camp Perry Rifle Match Grand Championship competing against schools and universities from 28 states. Besides the trophies they also won some fourteen medals. The teams also won third in the Hearst and second in the Fifth Army ln- tercjlzuegaate Nflatcfles. steal champs! th e lg sc oo un erta in or e gear. was the Xroduction of the Choral assign Play. chorus of 75 voices, the combined Cadet and G.

While other events transpired, we will have to close now, as mth tears in our eyes we say: God bless and keep you, Alma Mater. That famous mixer. 70 Gm Paaenlfi mJ!7ehana--- ABC Drug Store A. L.
