Upon the vast reaches of the Atlantic whose unexpectedly violent storms are reminiscent of turbulent world affairs, the two leading statesmen of our war years met in friendly council. Impelled by serious threats to the liberty and happiness of all peoples, they gave as their broad war aims: freedom from want and fearg freedom of speech and religion. Today, the extensive publi- cation of the Four Freedoms bids fair to influence our own and all subsequent ages. Of particular moment is their application to St. -Ioseph's Collegiate Institute. 6 I c 2121 CH! 0 fix!! lrlltn At the summrt of all freedoms IS that of rehgron It rs the link b1nd1ng man wxth the Grver of all hberty God It ls, hkewrse, the ac1d test of all other freedoms If mhlbrted xn nts operatron, the others soon wtther and dte For 1t, men have endured death and exrle Wrthout 1t, man becomes a mere cog of a pohtxcal machxne, a state bereft of any cause for exxstence Agam, he becomes ac1n to the beast whose only conslderatxon xs mate rxal comfort Gone are the pr1nc1ples dehnmg man, departed the ldeals dxstxngulshmg htm By a terrlfymg mversxon the herght of creatxon falls to abysmal depths Yet, 1n the cons1stent malntenance and re estabhshment of that t1e wh1ch b1nds man to God the Church has carrxed the torch from the patrxarchs and prophets of the old d1spensat1on to brmg xt burmng brlghtly down to our own day Restncted at tlmes by adverse condltlons, ll has cxrcumvented all decelt and represslon by an all conquerrng love L1terally, 1ts gospel of love has won the world Its mlsslonarxes lead where men dare not go, IIS teachers preach lessons potsonous to all evil, ts members unxte as free men to brrng a trxumphant message of hght and hope to a desparrmg world Wrth only global frontlers as llmnts, Thy Kmgdom Come remams the prayer of the erghty hfth graduatmg class of St oseph s Collegrate Insutute whose faculty has, tn 1ts da1ly work brought the word of God to the student body through the blessxngs of Freedom 0 Relzgzon ILE! till TDI!! 3 Ltll' Grave, too, IS the thfeat offered llbefty Cl'aVen fear Whole natlons have passed into Servltude under the free EdL1CEifl0I'l IS the key WhlCh Lll'll0ClCS the doors I0 kI'lOWledge, where IDE-U1 I'eSPeCfS and Ul1deI'St3!'1ClS l'llS fellows, there IS UO IHISIFUSI, T10 feal' Through Ie2lCl'llI1g ln the Cafl1Ol1C II'3.d1fl0I'l, we Sfl'lVe for an ll'lfOI'IT1ed, lI1Iell1geI1I y0UI1g AI'l'!eI'lCal'l manhood who wxll llve 111 FTE6dO7Vl 70771 F6617 fills II Jflkfl Wxthln the broad classxhcatlon of freedom of speech comes hberty of thought, opportumty, assembly press and educatron The are the natural out rowths of the h1 hest as 1rat1ons of men for freedom of s eech has Y g g P P the dlstmctxve marks whtch label a socret free and untrammeled Therefore, wrthm the framework of ro l P gresslve leglslatlon so essentlal to good order, freedom of speech must be guaranteed by an awakened people Where rt exlsts, true democracy relgns, where If does not, slavery holds sway In IIS preservation Cathohc edu catlon has one of IIS ralsons detre Foremost among IIS supporters rn Western New York have been the d1st1n uxshed alumm of St ose hs Colle late lnstrtute who, throu h art1c1 at1on rn extracurrlcular actxvmes g P g g P P a have learned how to express themselves and how to respect the oplmons and prlvxleges of others thls freedom of expression IS a natural concom1tant of Freedom 0 Speech C ILL!

When he takes agricultural en- gineering in college, he will be developing his ex- cellence in science which he displayed here at St. Joe,s and which, when coupled with mathematics, should prove to be his key to success.

Last fall he was one of the winners in the school handball tournament. Some of -Iohn's literary work graces the pages of The Star and his write-ups of his fellow stud- ents show his keenness and perception in evalua- tions of character. Among his most valuable tal- ents as a staff member was his ability to wield a blue pencil during the trying days of editing copy. 16 JOHN BIELMANN Football 4, 3, 2, I Basketball 4, 3 In the group of great athletes that the Maroon and White has turned out, jack is well able to maintain a position at the pinnacle of this group. jack's fine, cooperative spirit, together with his ability and speed, makes him a star on the grid- iron and the basketball court. He is a young man who will be well remembered by his classmates for the many hearty laughs they enjoyed with him.

He has contributed generously of his talents to both the Legion of Decency and the C. S. M. C., which have found him a member who worked actively on any project which they under- took. Frank spends much of his leisure time tink- ering with the family car and he has developed a skill in mechanics as a result of this avocation.

HENRY CHARLAP Studenl Council 4 Sbamrotle Club 2 Honor Roll 4, 3, 2, I Baseball 4, 3 Hank belongs to the rank of young men at St. joe's who say only a few words on any topic. He stands aside and observes the foibles and idiosyn- crasies of his fellow students. The only topic on which Hank is at all vociferous is baseball and, once started on what for him is the king of sports, he cannot easily be stopped. This avid in- terest in baseball is not confined to verbal bar- rages alone for Hank can slide safely to home plate with the best of them. He also maintains a consistently high batting average in his school work by winding up among the quarter's high grade men. , HQ 'fiiau 1 5 frm 'G - 'nn m P 3 ' MARK CONLEY Shamrock Club 4 The head of the Social Committee of the C. Y. C., Mark is also one of the most active mem- bers, attending dances or skating parties sponsored by both the Council and the school. After years of deliberation, he has finally decided that he will enter the dental profession and join the ranks of the few from the school who have gone into that field. Numbered among Mark's hobbies is the building of model boats and planes, which he does very well. Although he does not play on the school teams, Mark likes to indulge in games of football and basketball whenever he has a free moment.

His membership in the publicity committee of the Shamrock Club was the highlight of his junior year. A great deal of the success of the Senior Prom was due to Don's untiring efforts and ready hand. When Don Flanagan leaves St. joe's, the school will have acquired an alumnus worthy of representing his Alma Mater. , ...Q fYiQ5u 9 .PQ E f If fS ROBERT FRAWLEY ob is a popular fellow whose wide acquaint- auce among the student body indicates his ability to get along with every type of boy. Bob's un- usual hobby-collecting pictures of war heroes and battle scenes-is his full-time diversion outside of class and to this extracurricular pursuit he has given many hours of meticulous attention. Bob was one of those students who found himself much occupied in the arduous task of doing his utmost to gain knowledge in the manner least likely to cause mental agonies and to this end he devoted himself untiringly for four long years at St. joe's. 26 ow-r-YOJV PM DANIEL GANEY Student Counctl 4 The most famous of our Student Councilors Dan Ganey is a mild tow headed individual who can be seen peregrinating through the halls con templatmg the pleasure of rendering summonses at will Aside from these pressing duties, Dan is preparing himself for a business course in college by excellmg in mathematics A devotee of hot discography he has a collec tion of records which is widely envied throughout the school Dan is the current contribution of the Ganey family to the educational efforts of the Christian Brothers at St oes and we can pay him no greater compliment than to say that he has capably upheld the tradition set up by others in his family f' is 5 RICHARD GLATZ Glee C lub 3 Honor Roll I Dick has already made plans for entrance into the University of Buffalos School of Pharmacy in the fall for his work as an apprentice pharma- cist has imbued him with a deep admiration for this profession. Coincidentally enough science and math have always been Dick's favorite subjects. For a pastime Dick tests his patience by construct- ing model airplanesg when this becomes too taxing he indulges in a fast game of hockey to relax his taut nerves. On the court, Dick has proved him- self no tyro as a basketball player and for two years he was one of the terrors of the court. 27 QV' C'- ny ,fjs rdf D ,Ak Q RICHARD GRUCZA Honor Roll 3, 2, I Tall, quiet, unassuming, Dick has never been too much in the spotlight during his years at St. -loe's. Dick is one of the members of the trium- virate to which also belong Messrs. Obringer and Lepczyk. Dick's activities are centered principally outside of school. He is an avid record collector, being an enthusiastic fan of both le jazz hot and the classics. Dick is also an excellent pianist and ar- tist and it is in the Held of art that he hopes to direct his talents in the future. Dick has been taking piano lessons for several years and is an accomplished player, Chopin being his favorite. .

Among Russ' outside activities is the Civil Air Patrol, to which he eagerly devotes two evenings a week mastering the intricacies of aeronautics. With an equally Herce determination, Russ has also ex- pended surplus energy struggling through the rigors of the Dance. Shunning the assistance of Arthur Murray and Company, he prefers, ulti- mately, to win his prizes upon the dance floor through his own perseverance. 28 KENNETH HAMILTON The Star 4 Student Council 4 Legion of Decency I Honor Roll 3, 2, I Ken is a young man upon whom the adjective industrious can be applied without reservation for he has worked with determination, sincerity and diligence toward making his high school years among his most profitable intellectually. He has, by his frank, unassuming attitude toward all endeared himself to those who were fortunate enough to overcome his natural reserve and be considered his friends. Ken has found in swim- ming his favorite diversion when leisure time is his and his craving for the active life finds its best outlet in this sport. 9' 4 .-V' :.

When Bulgy removes himself to St. Bonaventure's College, that worthy institution will find in him a valuable player on the line and a fellow whose spirit is unsurpassed. ln his parish C. Y.

Releas- ing his abundant energy not only in football but billiards and bowling as well, he is very fond of chemistry and is completing his scientific course this year with an eye toward furthering his studies in that direction when in college. 29 'S iff if THOMAS HAYKEL RICHARD HEHIR Glcc Club 4, 3 Honor Roll 4, 3, 2, I Legion of Decency I Basketball 4 At first sight, Tom seems to be very shy and reserved in his actions, but upon making his ac- quaintance, one discovers a friendly, companion- able fellow. Tom's membership in the Glee Club was an asset to that organization, since he was one of the pillars of the group during that time. An ardent baseball fan, Tom can usually be found during the season at the majority of the league games. Tom's current operation is that of file clerk in a trucking company but his future plans do not in- clude business since he hopes to take a pre-medi- cal course next year. 0' '45 71: ul . tu -4 Vis SF'f'f:k5'Y3 . L , 'i I he 557 30 The overwhelming interest in Dick's athletic life is basketball and his proficiency at this sport may well cause George Mikan to look to his lau rels on the court. Dick has practiced long and hard to develop an expertness in basketball, and his fleetness of foot and accuracy of aim in a game are eloquent answers to the questions of results. Equally important in Dick's life is his scholastic standing and, with an eye towards being one of the intellectual lights in his class, he Cle- voted himself to earnest study and never failed to attain a high position on the Honor Roll in his four years at school.

A ' RAYMOND HERTEL JOHN HESS Student Council 4 Honor Roll I Cheerleader 4, 3, 2 Ray, who has distinguished himself as one half of our cheerleading squad, has been wisely pre- paring himself for a career in pharmacy by adopt- ing the methods of Horatio Alger in working his way to the top in a drug store. As if this were not enough to keep our embryo pharmacist busy, Ray still finds time to bowl a mean game and to run down the court with the best basketball players in the school. When, in September, Ray enters the University of Buffalo, it will be with a line record of achievement at St. -loe's that he moves onward as a collegian. Honor Roll I John is one of those rare students who finds his greatest interest in the immediate matter at hand -the mastery of the principles of education. Al- though he was an ardent follower of sports, es- pecially baseball, John always found studies of primary importance to him. He is also one of the select few in the school whose interest in philately is great enough to make it his hobby. These fol- lowers of the cancelled stamp gather together for conferences on this all-absorbing topic and their resultant conversations remain a strange, unsolv- able mystery to those others of us less versed in the gentle art.

His love for winter sports is required through regular trips to Chestnut Ridge Park, where he skates, skiis, and goes tobogganing over week- ends. His dancing, too, is admired by many of us less proficient at this art. Don is also talented in building model airplanes. He helped out a great deal in the management of the school book- store and his speed in handing us that much- needed pad or pen during the brief period between bells will always be remembered with a smile. 5 .,'.,I,N 5 10, f fx izx I 1 fr jk. , . , , Q S J 'ufntn 'A JOHN KRUSE Rollicking and robust, john entered St. Joe's in the fall of '42 as a young and naive product of the grammar schools. In short order, however, he learned the fundamentals of a successful high school career and he was, by his sophomore year, a hearty supporter of the C. S. M. C. He was also one of the original members of the Sham- rock Club. The Building Fund Drive found an eager worker in john who capped his high school career by playing an integral part in two of the biggest senior activities, the Prom and the Senior Dinner Dance.

He was a member of the varsity football team during his last three years at the Institute and also participated in interclass bas- ketball. Ivan', did not confine his activities to athletics, however. He was a member of the Glee Club during his first three years and wrote for the Student Prints during those years. In his junior year, Earl joined the Dramatic Society, serving as prompter. Ivan's only hobby is his sports scrap book, to which he devotes much of his free time. 'H Q L' a .gg if JOHN LEPCZYK Student Prints 4, 3, 2, I Honor Roll 4, 2, I A most active member of the senior class triumvirate - Grucza, Obringer and Lepczyk - this nimble student is, perhaps, best known for his contributions to the pages of the Student Prints which has made good use of his talents in the footsteps of Heywood Broun, et al. John's versatile style was often responsible for much innocent merriment as his schoolmates chuckled over his Class Notes written in a manner com- bining the best features of Walter Winchell and the late lamented Mr. Benchley. His name, by the end of our four years together, was synony- mous with the practical joke and the center of general amusement was usually traced to johnny. 39 ,ge 5-:sp I Qs? o il-ADQL1 ' LAWRENCIE LINDSAY Cheerleader 4, 3, 2 just as the names of Amelotte and Romano are paired, so, too, are those of Lindsay and Heftel, who have led our cheerleading section to expend their vocal energies at St. Joe's athletic contests. Lindsay will be remembered as the more cherubic-looking member of the duo although his appearance, we regret to say, is somewhat deceiv- ing since there is beneath his angelic exterior a young man whose potential energy can scarcely be measured. He has a most unangelic interest in football, baseball, hockey and basketball and not from the sidelines, he yearns after the rough, rugged life right in the middle of the fray. 5,,tlm,,, . . . :PFW ENN?

For a young man so ready at all times to exert his untiring efforts on any extra-curricular project, Mike maintained a surprisingly high scholastic standing throughout his four years at school. Perhaps his most exacting task was his enviable work of managing the first Shamrock Club banquet which required a steadying hand to set this embryo organization on its feet in 1944. Our Legion of Decency, in its travels throughout the city, has found Mike an enter- prising leader who, by his own example, is an asset to that organization. JOHN LYoNs Student Council 4 Football 4, 3, 2 Baseball 4, 3, 2, I The predominant factor in .Iohnny's character is his ability to lead in all phases of athletics. Undoubtedly the most likeable trait that jack possesses is the self-assertion which makes itself felt when he mingles in any crowd. His keen sense of good sportsmanship and inspiring leader- ship on the gridiron brought out his ever-present pertinacious attitude. Jack also starred on the baseball diamond, being a natural athlete. In the classroom he neither led nor lagged in his studies but was always intelligently cooperative with the faculty. Despite many handicaps unknown to the majority of his friends, jack has come off the undisputed victor every time. HERBERT MANN Football 4, 2 just as there are bookish types who quite naturally are fine students, so, too, are there solidly built young men who are destined to be football players. Into this latter category falls Herb Mann. However, even as there is a soft spot in all of us, so, also, is there one in Herb who forgets all about the grim realities of the pigslcin world when he heats Let the Rest of the World Go By. What this plaintive melody does to him even Herb cannot explain. Back in the realm of the practical, though, Herb will direct his future energies to the pur- suit of chemistry in college. F JOHN MAYER Football 3, 2 john was one of those to whom athletics came naturally. Although he was not a member of the Varsity team in football, nevertheless his dogged- ness and determination won for him the respect and admiration of all his teammates. He was also an earnest St. 'loe's booster, working hard to make all the school events successful. It can be said of John that he attended every social event without fail whether it be a football game or a school concert. john was one of the few Seniors who was able to graduate in three and a half years and, upon completing his high school edu- cation, he immediately entered the Marine Corps. 3 ' 9 , - f,, .ze gfiivixg 'G J :humid- CLAIR MCMULLEN Honor Roll 4, I Class Treasurer, 3 Mac's shy, retiring manner well conceals his real nature which is fun-loving and impish. Clair's hobby and his favorite sport are closely allied in that both-dancing and bowling-require expert footwork. For the future, Clair looks toward a career in the Navy where, he hopes, his best efforts may be directed in a manner benencial to both. The only times we recall Clair,s making any undue sounds were during chemistry, his favorite period, when some remarkable discovery would evoke an exclamation of surprise or, more often, some comment indicative of his deep appre- ciation for the miracle men of science. CHARLES MCNEIL Student Council 4 Honor Roll 4, 3, 2, I Charlie claims that football contains, for him, all of the most exciting elements of any sport, A neatly rolled up into one. Though never on the football team himself, Charlie found vicarious pleasure on the sidelines and from carefully per- using the Football Annual which is his selection for the best modern American magazine. In the line of studies, Charlie found chemistry more to his taste than a subject more academic and to the pursuit of condensing gases and va- porizing liquids he gave the best of his efforts. As for a hobby, he prefers duck hunting above all and his proficiency here is on a par with his My We enthusiasm for football. Ll. . 419533 . .,.. .

They were more surprised to find out that jim Mcsweeney was not a stranger in the school but had been a member of the senior class of 1939. jim left school to join the flghting forces of our country, training at Mitchell Field, St. Louis, Hartford and Riverside, California. After becoming a well trained radio mechanic and op- erator, he was sent to Hawaii and participated in the landings at Leyte. He now has the distinction of being the hrst veteran to return to St. joe's. DAVID MEASER Student Council 4 Honor Roll 2, I Football 4, 3, 2 Dave, an athletic, studious, and amiable com- panion, is one of St. Joe's most illustrious gradu- ates. I-Ie especially distinguished himself on the gridiron by expertly receiving the passes of his teammate, Bucky Illig. His prowess at this type of playing was a decisive factor in giving the team a victorious season. Dave proved to be a coopera- tive member of the Student Council and won com- mendation from both the faculty and the students for his conscientious work in this capacity. Few students have succeeded as well as Dave in mak- ing themselves outstanding in two diversihed fields, and his absence from the ranks of the student body will be difficult to fill. wmadff ,hs - ' S , A 1.7 rffigh E ' muh r A KENNETH MENGE Student Prints 4, 5, 2, I Student Council 4 Debating 3 Honor Roll 4, 3, 2,1 Class Secretary 4 Among the leaders of the senior class is Ken- neth Menge, who, through his four years at St. -Ioe's, has striven to top the held in anything which he has undertaken. If we were to judge by what we see of him, it could be said that he has succeeded in this respect. Besides being the editor of the Student Prints and the president of the Student Council, Kenneth has directed his mani- fold talents toward maintaining a leading position on the honor roll for four years. The duties of class secretary fell to Ken in his senior year and he served with his accustomed willingness and tenacity. 44 DONALD METZEN Football 4 3 Since Dons rather impressive bulk was ideally suited for the rigors of football it was no surprise to anyone when he turned out for the team his early days here and no surprise later when he showed himself one of the most powerful play ers ever seen on a St oes team In the class room Don applied himself earnestly to his studies so that he might begin on the arduous road to suc cess in the field of dentistry This profession as long attracted Don and he mtends to turn s most determined efforts in this direction Now is only major problem is to modify his perfected football techmque to suit the less rigorous de mands of the dentists office 6,1 .3 9 ROBERT MISCHKA Student Council 4 Dramatic Society 2 X VG' Debating 2 I Honor Roll 3 2 I Wherever there was laughter a bull session and general horseplay the Russian could always be found leading the gang.

During his school days, he attained an enviable record both in scholastics and in extra-curricular activities. In his second year, the outstanding accomplishment accredited to him was acting as toastmaster at the first an- nual banquet of the Shamrock Club, a position which he filled more than capably. His interest in piano music, classical and popular, led to Modzie's membership in the Glee Club of St. -Ioe's in his third year. During his latest visit to the school, it was learned that his chief hobby, radio, is helping him a great deal in the service of his country. fi Ray has developed a good business sense by managing his motheris delicatessen over the past two years and the practical experience gained at this work will abet him no end when his school days are over. Ray's main interests in his some- what crowded extra-curricular life are horseback riding and hockey, which, covering different sea- sons as they do, manage to keep him diverted through the entire year. His hobby veers toward the artistic-drawing, and, more particularly, air- craft design. Running a close second to work with the sharp pencil point and the drawing board is his zealous interest in foreign coins. ' qs PS1 fgf-f-gxmgx 3 EMMET MOYNIHAN Em,,, as this silent senior is known to his staunch friends, is another of the select group who finished high school in three years. Em was never one of St. joeis more boisterous students but he will always be remembered as a quiet dili- gent student who, by dint of silent and unswerv- ing loyalty, so often prove the bulwark of a school. His burning interest outside of class is winter sports of any kind-skating, tobogganing, skiing-which can be traced to early years in the snow-covered hills of Connecticut. When seeking relaxation, this modern Norseman divides his time between chess and photography, both of which take full advantage of his love of the meticulous and the painstaking. ru , .s' f L' RICHARD OBRINGER One likes to think of Dick as a typical student because of his good scholastic rating and his at- tempts to keep out of the limelight. It is this type of fellow who forms the background of the school. He faithfully supported all activities, at- tending most of the football, basketball, and base- ball games. Rudy's school friends will miss his beaming smile and ready remarks. A successful practice in dentistry seems to be the object of Dick,s endeavors, and he may be sure that all our hopes and good wishes follow a real gentle- man and a good friend. gush 9 WILLIAM O LONNOR Student Counrrl 4 Honor Roll 2 I Basketball 4 Baseball4 3 7 Class Treasurer 4 As far as popularrty goes Olcre was tops, as was proved rn the Senror Class electrons when he succeeded rn wrnnrng the ofhce of Treasurer B111 vras one of the few who drd as well rn therr stuclres as rn the sports realm at St oe s, playrng basketball and baseball wrth equal abrlrty I-le de veloped rnto one of the best center helders the school has seen rn qurte a whrle berng a letter B111 acqurred a prowess whrch was envred by all who saw hrm on the basketball court and these factors proved to be the medrum through whrch he garned popularrty rn hrs four years at St oe s We ss 'elim .H 5' PAUL OFFERMANN The Star 4 Student Councrl 4 Orchestra 2 I Legron 0 Decency 7 I Dramatrc Socrety 3 7 Debatrng 4 3 Honor Roll 4 I Baseball4 3 7 Especrally noted for hrs thespran actrvrtres Paul proved hrmself an able actor by hrs performances rn See My lawyer and Brg Hearted Herbert the 1943 and 1944 plays Pauls role rn the frrst was a mrnor one but he was rewarded wrth the roman trc lead the year after Durrng hrs four years at the lnstrtute Paul drd not confine hrs actrvrtres to actrng alone An avrd baseball fan, he was a member of the Amerrcan Legron Baseball team for two years and became an expert outhelder As a freshman and sophomore Paul was an ac trve member of the Legron of Decency and also a member of the orchestra 48 , , .

In his previous three years, he displayed a faculty for absorbing education to the extent that he was on the Honor Roll throughout that time.

Here, at last, we found a young man of enviable thespian abilities, one who could have us shake with laughter at his incisive portrait of one of the Met's best. Around school, Frank is an extremely popular young man whose faculty for gracefully sustain- ing either end of a joke accounts for his agreeability to all. However, Frank is not the eternal buffoon but also a serious student who . xii f can, when necessary, show himself a 3 determined, sincere scholar. . 1? X, d,,v. u.,,, Q Q - r ff' iv Eegaxii ohnwgi' JOSEPH SANNELLA Orchestra 4, 3, 2, I Joe is one of the leading musicians to come out of St. joe's. He was an outstanding performer at each of the concerts since he hrst joined the or- chestra in 1942. Although his most prominent contributions came in the field of music, Joe was a staunch sup- porter of all school activities. In his senior year, he led several of the football cheers on his trum- pet. Joe has always had average or better than average marks while attending the Institute. joe intends to continue, quite logically, in the field of music after graduation and, if his past record is any indication whatever of his talents, he can look forward to a splendid career in the concert world. or Q p jgetft ALAN SATTLER The Star 4 Student Prints 4 3 2 I Student Counczl 4 Honor Ro1l4 3 2 I With his sharp tongue and Hippant manner concealing a warm affectionate nature Alan has gone on through his four years at St oe s win ning friends slowly but once won they are his permanently A scholarship student Alan has maintained his exceptionally high grades in all subjects and this augurs well for his future in the footsteps of Horace Mann In extra curricular activities Alan was active as a writer on the Student Prints and as Literary Editor of The Star Alan could always be relied upon to make a pungent observation on whatever topic required shrewd analysis and his barbed wit often was the cause of merriment in and out of class DONALD SAUTER The Star 4 Student Print54 3 2 I Student Council 4 Debating 4 3 2 I Honor Roll 4 3 2 When a firm hand was needed to guide the students of the class of 1946 to donate their time and talents to The Star Don was only too willing to stand quietly in the background and lend what- ever assistance he could to this activity of the Se- nior Class. Never hesitating to do all that was required of an editor-in-chief, Don spent many hours working to make the 1946 Star a book to which any St. oe's student can point with pride. He has early in life learned the meaning of di- plomacy and has never failed to make the fullest use of this valuable talent whenever necessary. of ROBERT SCHAEFER Without Bob and his accordion, no concert or play at St. -Ioe's would be complete for we have come to regard this combination as a must at any scholastic affair. As a natural concomitant to his musical ability, Bob finds enjoyment on the dance fioor where his sense of rhythm stands him in good stead. His varied list of activities also in- cludes the Student Council which finds him one Student Council 4 t Orchestra 4, 3, 2, I of its most active members and an exponent of well-administered law and order in the corridors. Perhaps it is his musical talent which gives him an ability to memorize well and this additional accomplishment is, obviously, no handicap in his studies. 1' M 3 5 ' 45563 he en WILLIAM SCHIESEL The Star 4 Student Prints 4, 3, 2, I Honor Roll I Though he never comments on the foibles of his fellows, Bill, in observing them, chuckles to himself more than one would suspect at the light- er side of many a man's deeds. This is all to say that Bill is, generally speaking, a rather quiet, more serious young man. However, there is an- other side to Bill, a side which we found only by painstaking inquiry into his private domain. The secret is out as we disclose that he will shout, whistle, stamp and groan with the best of them at a hockey game. Evidently the bars controlling Bill's extroverted side are down as he raptly fol- lows the denizens of the rink.

His record as a student speaks well for his future as a member of the medical profession. Taking first place among Bob's activities dur- ing the time he attended the Institute was his ac- tive membership in the Legion of Decency in his last three years. Bob was also a member of the Glee Club during his freshman year and his name was seen on the honor roll consistently for four years. His spare time is consumed by his job at the Loblaw Groceterias where he works afternoons and Saturdays. RICHARD SCHRADER Legion of Decency 3, 2, I Debating 2 Shamrock Club 2 Football 2, I Basketball 3 Moose',, as he is affectionately called, was one of the most familiar figures about the school dur- ing his three years at St. Joe's. He is now at Canisius College enjoying a four year basketball scholarship which was well earned at St. -Ioe's last year. Dick's record of activities at school attests to his ability and popularity with the students. He not only participated in the C. S. M. C. and the Legion of Decency but also took part in the Oratorical Contest and played football. 1943-1944 found him a prize winner in the Oratorical Con- test, an organizer of the now-traditional Shamrock Club, and a potent force on the football squad. His real talent, however, came out last year when Moose starred on the championship basketball team. ,..tu,,,' g 3 Z 5 vi' 'HMDP4 RICHARD SHANLEY When we talk about the many school activities of the past four years and those fellows whose in- domitable spirit assisted in making them success- ful, we reserve a place for Dick among the lead- ers. His equanimity and sense of humor have gained for him the admiration of his classmates and are his best assurance of success in later life. In matters grave or trivial, Dick always displayed his consistent perseverance in achieving the de- sired results. Into the business world where such determination is essential, Dick goes with his basic lesson in determination well-learned.

Preparing to talce up the responsibilities of the departing Seniors the members of the Class of 1947 have already displayed their zeal and prowess in management. These invaluable assets always prove to be the difference between the year of successful enterprises and one characterized by just another graduating class. In bringing out those qualities the unior students at St. oes illus- trate the traditional school spirit. In the early part of the school year. this spirit was exhibited by them in the hard worlc which went into securing money for the Building Fund Drive. The united contributions of the three unior rooms, 12, 14 and 22, amounted to ,S4,393.00, a large percentage of the entire school's quota. Brother Augustineis Room 22 sponsored our lone skating party of the year in order to raise the money which was given to Father Schieder as the contribution of Room 22 toward raising funds for the new school building. In conjunction with the Drive, also, Brother A. Clement organized a tumbling act for the mammoth rally which was held at Kleinhans Music Hall just before the workers set out on their jobs of soliciting throughout the city. This tumbling act, one of the high- ROOM 12 Ixt Row: Kunstel. Colern. Nlasterson, Bestlne. Gottstine, Lombard. Smith. 1.exner, Flynn. D. Kieffer, B. Kieffer. frm' Row: Habermehl, Speyer.

Clement who was satisfied only with near-professional performances on their part. Christmas came and again under the direction of Brother A. Clement, a beautiful crib, replete with snow, miniature village and colored lights, was erected in his homeroom, Room 12. The con- struction of this crib drew a great deal of commendation from the students as well as the faculty and added to the holiday spirit which pervaded the school during this joyous season. With the accent on literary ability, the National Essay Contest provided the entire student body with the opportunity to participate in competition with other schools for a large number of prizes, both national and local. Among the many Junior contributors, the worlc of two, George Striegel and Robert Nlilcuszewslci, both of Brother -Iosephls Room 14, was selected. Their thoughts on lVf1at the United States Navy Mean.: to Me were deemed sufficiently meritorious to be con- sidered representative of the school and their essays were forwarded for further judging.

The scholastic year 1945-1946 has proved to be no exception to this long-standing tradition, owing to the unblemished rec- ord of the football team, the excellent basketball squad, and the also-traditional good reputation of the students. Representing St. Joseph's Collegiate lnstitute in the speaking competition in New York's Manhattan College this year was Edward Smith, a junior of Room 14. Expounding his views on The United Nations Urganization and Peace. he succeeded in capturing top honors, the first time one of our students has attained this mark. Edward Smith has secured for St. Joseph's a new field for exploitation through his impressive Edward Smith succession of victories in all elimination contests. Under the expert guidance of Rev. Brother C. Clement, whose experience in making polished young otators of the in- experienced followers of Demosthenes is responsible for the splendid re- sults achieved by representatives of St. 'Toe's in their tests of eloquence and fluency, Smith came out victorious in the eliminations. 1n the school itself he won out over eleven other Junior-Senior speakers and went on to gain a similar place opposite ten competitors in the pre-hnals at Syracuse and, then, opposite six equally tested speakers in the finals at New York City on April 12. Here, the results of his well-integrated ideas on his topic, together with his splendid delivery, won for him the cash award given as first prize in the contest. -ROBERT MIKUSZEWSKI 147 Smith practices for the Manhattan College Speaking Contest uf 1' Ww w E PJ Q AND 6cqfQCR ali? 0'w-Hffuo' O .cd,1NoQ DAUL CQ IQUI eww - g,,..g, , YV!

I Having survived that difficult transition period between grammar school and high school, the Class of 1948 set out as sophomores in the fall of 1945. As are all freshmen, they, too, were tested on many scores hy their more experienced fellow students, the upperclassmen. and the fact that there were enough of them remaining to till three classrooms indicates their durability. Once these new sophomores realized that they had passed their testing and training period as freshmen, they undertook their part in school activities with a clear understanding of what was expected of them. The end of their sophomore year had yet to see them fail. ROOM 13 Ir! Row: Wahl, Stievater, Bonin. Neville, Fuerter, Alfieri. Hess. Gross, Mahoney. 2nd Row: Schuch. Heintzman.

Sewers OW ' THE STAR With a handful of earnest, energetic young men ready to devote their time and creative efforts to publishing the first Star in eleven years, the work on the current issue began back in May. 1945. when clicking shutters started recording the candid camera history which encompasses the entire school for the '45-46 school year. Under the guidance of Mr. Robert Kass, moderator of The Star. Donald Sauter was given the directorial reins on the yearbook and, after serious deliberation, he selected a staff which was to find itself tested in almost every division of yearbook work before the finished product was distributed to the student body. Certainly the most taxing demands fell upon Alan Sattler, the Literary Editor, who, with Robert Nlikuszewski, the Associate Editor- in-Chief, did most of the writing which appears on these pages. Robert Sowers is almost wholly responsible for the pictures gracing the pages of The Star and the clever and unusual shots which you see are testimonials to his abilities as an imaginative photographer. To Rev. Brother C, Peter. FSC., The Star also acknowledges a debt of gratitude for his splendid contributions to the photographic sections of the book, To Myron Luthringer. the financial division was no problem for he applied the sales technique gleaned from three years' apprenticeship on the Shamrock Club. The Star Night Dance in Christmas Week Luthringer. Som-ers. Wk-infiirtner, Luth ringeiq Sartler and Mila -ve ,Slew slti. and the advertising section of The Star were successful because of Mike's directorial efforts. Once again, The .Star is indebted to a faculty member for his invaluable assistanceg this time to lVlr. John Barden who worked so untiringly in the cause of ads. Harry Kerr found the athletics section much to his liking since he has been doing sports for several years and he imparted his crisp, brittle descriptive style to recounting the high spots of outstanding sports events. Actually, there is no one student to whom the entire responsibility fell, for The Star. as we now see it. is the combined effort of a unified staff which worked for one putposefa book presenting the best which St. Josephs Collegiate Institute has to offer. .

Helter. Newton, Under the moderatorship of Rev. Brother C. Clement. l5.S.C., the entire spiritual activities schedule was mapped out in the latter part of I9-15. Among these activities were the Annual School Retreat and the task of emphasizing to the students the importance of supporting the missions through the Archconfraternity of the Divine Child, of which the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade is a unit, This year, the Retreat, covering the week of Octoher lst. was directed hy Rev. Rohert Gill. O.IVI.I.. in conjunction with the parish youth directors who assisted him in his important assignment hy giving nightly instructions. These talks were followed hy Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Father Gill was enthusiastically received hy all those making the Retreat hecause of his straightforward, friendly manner and his genuine interest in hringing out to them the importance of this character-forming period of a young man's life. Each day, after giving his talks to the two groups of students, he heard con- fessions and then conducted the lienediction of the Blessed Sacrament, In those regular periods when a class had neither an instruction nor Benediction scheduled, pamphlets were provided to comply with the customary Retreat practice of spiritual reading. These pamphlets treated all the main prohlems and questions which young men usually encounter in this most difficult part of life. During the four days of the Retreat. the students assisted at the Holy Sacrifice of the lVlass in their own parishes and, after the school portion of spiritual study, attended in a hody the religious talk hy the respective Catholic Youth Council directors and received another Benediction to end the day. At the close of the Re- treat. Brother C. Clement termed the results as excellent and joined those who took part in the exercises in expressing his gratitude to Father Gill. In many large centers all over the country, rallies and pageants were sponsored hy the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade in their continuous drive for the support of missions and missionaries. National Crusade Conventions gave hundreds of thousands of Catholics the opportunity to meet outstanding missionary leaders and see exhihits of the work these men are doing throughout the world, f the , V C body 3' one 0 C NTTY OF THE DIVTINE G my addresses tkgjgtditxidgigwiedcf and Brother y 1 R h e . t 1 ARCHCOlX4T'RATECH1liD mo Clark. mt?i?ilyNCSlVIC meetings 15 Schililer.

Unit has brought to our assemblies leaders who have instructed and advised students on vocations to the missionary life and have narrated their own experiences in this type of work. At the first assembly, Brother C. Clement, moderator of this Unit of the Archconfraternity of the Divine Child, introduced the 1945-46 oflicers, joseph D'Amato, Donald Pauly, Robert Clark and William Schifiler. He included a brief outline of the organization's spiritual, sacrificial and educational activities for that period in which are included the monthly meetings of the Crusade members. Financial support from the students came in the form of voluntary contributions made to the Unitis representatives in each class. The funds thus collected during the year were employed to promulgate the propagation of Christian principles. LEGION OF DECENCY Among the most important of the extra-curricular activities at St. Joseph's is the scholastic unit of the Legion of Decency. This organization was inaugurated to stem the tide of indecent movies and to maintain a vigilant front against any corruptive influences of the screen. The work of the unit in accomplishing its motives has brought superlative commendation. Because it shields them from any possible moral danger on the screen, the Legion is an indispensable element in the Christian training of the students. The chief func- tion of the unit is the classification of the weelcly programs of all local theaters. A directory containing the names of all the theaters throughout the city is posted on the school bulletin board. This guide enables the students to use proper discretion in choosing their weekly entertainment. All students are members of the society and consequently are pledged to attend only those movies which are approved for general patronage. Working in close cooperation with the Permanent Committee on Public Decency, the Society also has an envied record in its campaign against impure literature. The success of the school chapter is a tribute to its officers, President Myron Luthringer, Vice-President Richard Carballada, Secretary William Schifliler, and Treas- urer Donald Pauly. The untiring efforts of these young men has merited the praise and gratitude of the students and for good reason, since their membership in this society most closely touches their daily lives.

The gigantic task of raising money in the interests of a new school did, quite naturaIIy, cause severaI of the usuaI social events to he canceIIed or at Ieast postponed untiI the second semester while the BuiIding Fund Cam ai n was bein carried on.

The eve of Thanksgiving, though Iacking the pIay, was still utiIized to the hest advantage for the Foot- haII Dance. This festive event was the first of severaI to fete our unconquered pigskin squad and an unusuaIIv Iarge crowd attended the dance held in the newIy redecorated Knights of Columhus Auditorium. This dance. now to be an annual affair, was run hy the Senior CIass in pIace of the customary FaII Skating Party. Despite the New Years' Eve-in-Times Square atmosphere around the checIcroom, the guests managed to Iaunch our social season on its way. The music was supphed, in the modern manner, hy Art Schaefiefs Rlfkflllll-ATIS. Not to he outdone during the festive hoIidav season, St. Josephs CoIIegiate Institute sponsored The Star Night Dance on the night of Decemher 29th for the henefit of the yearhook. In the shadow of a gigantic Christmas tree overIooIcing the hedecked Mary Seaton Room of KIeinhans Music I-IaII, over two hundred coupIes danced to the music of Tone CarnevaIe's orchestra. This event. coming as it did at the cIimax of the YuIetide period, was among the more coIorfuI and gIittering sponsored hy the school during this active year. 93 The Star Night Dancers gather at the lnandstand, Guests at the Star Night Dance at Kleinhans Music Hall. The high spot of the early Spring social season was, of course, the Senior Promenade, the annual event of the school year which manages to attract almost the entire student body. The Mary Seaton Room, so popu' lar with the St. .Ioe's set, was again the scene of this dance which was strictly formal as usual. Dick Lecksell and his orchestra furnished the music as the couples promenaded through the hall in an intricate pattern of twos, fours, eights and twelves. This marked the last large dance before the arrival of Lent. The Annual Sports Night Dinner, begun last year and carried on successfully once more this year, was given at Hotel Statler on February 27th. The magic of Jim Thorpe,s name was great enough to attract a capacity crowd to the Statler for this evening which was another given over to honoring our undefeated foot- ball team. Mr. Thrope's talents as a speaker are commensurate with his abilities as an athlete and his audience sat enthralled as he spoke of the world of sports with which he is so familiar. Another St. -Ioe's annual , the Shamrock Club Banquet was held at Hotel Markeen on March 16th. The banquet was again managed hy the founder of this Celtic organization, Mr. john Barden, with the as- sistance of Myron Luthringer and Francis Cronin. Attesting to the tremendous popularity of this organization whose program also includes a wrestling match and a basketball game for the members. the attendance at this third gathering was the largest yet recorded. For the Seniors, the final dance of the year, The Senior Dinner Dance, which is a closed affair for the graduating class only, was held in May following the Retreat which is given at St. Bonaventure,s College. Scenes of the Senior Prom at Kleinhans Nlusic Hall. These two events hring to the Senior Class the close of its high school career and they will he long rememhered as some of the pleasantest memories which the Class of 1946 will carry with it. One of the most useful organizations in the school is the Parent-Teachers Association which holds regular meetings on the second Friday of each month. This season. however. the opening meeting of the school vear was held on january Ilth hecause of the taxing demands made upon the time of hoth parents and teachers during the busy months of the Building Fund Drive. Officers elected at that time were: Mr. Edward Schwendler, Presidentg Mr. james O'Brien. First Vice-Presidentg Mrs. Nicholas Schmitt, Second Vice-Presi- dentg and Mrs. Donald Gorey, Third Vice-President. The posts of Secretary and Treasurer were received hx' Mr. C. Ashton McNeil and Mrs, Norman Graesser. The P-T,A. also indulged in its lighter side as, at the Fehru- ary meeting, the parents sponsored an amusing and original Valentine Party in the school gymnasium. An evening of hilarity resulted from the clever games which were planned for this party and both facultv and parents enjoyed the departure from the more serious prohlems with which this organization is concerned. At several other of these meetings. the Glee Cluh and Orchestra performed for the guests. The Football Dance at the Knights of Columhus Auditorium, pr f, - Guest, W. 9' Jnql , Y ThcrPe.

A new addition to our schedule, the Auburn club proved to have a very stubborn defense. Left- guard jackie Lyons opened the scoring by tackling Fitzpatrick in the end zone for a safety. In the second period Johnny Lombard scored from the ten and soon after Ray Jacobi blocked a punt which Dave Measer fell upon behind the goal line for a score. In the fourth stanza Kerr went over tackle for the concluding touchdown. Although they gained a clean victory, the team felt that it had made a poor showing and resolved to do bet- ter next time. ST. jOE'S-58 ST. MARY'S-0 Poor St. Mary's of Niagara Falls, who have always proved a tough nut to crack in the past, were destined to receive the result of the Maroon's resolution to do better next time. Bucky Illig ran 40 yards through the center on the third play to start things rolling. When the smoke had cleared, he had tallied thrice and passed to Dave Measer for three more while Kerr had scored twice, Bielman once and Lyons had kicked four placements. The Maroon gained 459 yards to St. Mary's 61 and looked forward to the season's big encounter against Aquinas with renewed vigor. ST. jOE'S-15 AQUINAS-6 The battle to defeat Aquinas was the hardest of the year. For a bitter twelve years. beating after beating had been absorbed, and this win alone made the campaign an unqualified success. Taking a punt on the St. Joe's 45 early in the first period, Rochester drove for a score on just five plays. The Maroon appeared baffled and helpless. But their goal had been crossed for the first time all season and that seemed to strike the spark. Following the kickoff, the Saints drove to the 25 and were stopped. But a few plays later Ray Jacobi tore through the line, snatched the ball from the arms of a would-be passer and .ma .. .W .il 4 '-1, 4 1 Q frm sm.. .f W. 'Wfywswe-sfo , aw., Our undef eated untied 1945 46 Football Team raced 20 yards to pay dirt. The kick was wide as had been Aquinas, and the game was all even, but St. Joeis was on the march. Threatening throughout the third quarter, they finally came through when Illig passed to Measer on the vis- itors' 20. Lombard and Kerr pounded to the two and Bielman took it over. The coaches, the fans, but mostly the players, went wild with delight! ST. JOE'S-39 NICHOLS-6 The traditional clash with Nichols was hard fought, but a rout for the Maroon. Early in the contest John Bielman scored the first of his three touchdowns on a 15-yard slash off tackle. In the second quarter he went 40 yards through guard. The Saints shifted into high gear in the third stanza, tallying four times, when Kerr pulled down a Nichols aerial and sped 55 yards, Bucky Illig passed 50 yards to Bielman and 25 to Measer, and then running 55 yards off tackle to complete our scoring. Bielman plunged for one extra point and Lyons kicked two. Bob Cleary scored for Nichols late in the contest against our second team. ST. 1012's-39 AMHERST-0 The Maroon gridders completed their first un- defeated and untied season in over twenty years by crushing Amherst Central with great ease and precision. John Lombard ran 19 yards for a starter in the first period. In the second, Bucky Illig hit Dave Measer with 28 and 60 yard aerials for two more and right guard Al Illig intercepted a pass and went 20 yards to paydirt just before the half ended. Lombard ran the third quarter kickoff back 80 yards for a score and in the last quarter, Illig passed to right end Paul Warthling for the final six points. Thus ended a triumphant season, and thus ended the illustrious high school football careers of twelve seniors: Bucky Illig, Dave Measer, Ray Jacobi, John Bielman, Herb Mann, joe D'Amato, Earl Kumpf, James Haren, Ed Ketterer, David Hoen and co-captains, john Lyons and Harry Kerr.

Two weeks after the last football game, the athletic director had all shoulder pads, jerseys, etc. safely on their way to the cleaners and those leather spheres commonly called hasketballs all shined up and ready for the initial practice session. Under the critical eye of coach Frank Schi- avone, a record turnout of almost one hundred boys melted quickly to a squad of sixteen aspiring basketeers. At first appearance the task of defending the championship won last year did not look very promising. Only Captain Frank Illig, his brother Al, Dave Hoen, Harry Kerr and john Krysinski remained of last year's team and Captain Illig alone had been an important member of that winning combination. Mr. Schiavone appeared undaunted, however, and went about shaping the raw material of the team with the same quiet instruction and uncanny judgment that had brought two championships to the school in his three year tenure as coach. The schedule called for three games before Christmas, so the practice sessions were very long and very strenuous. Things finally did get under way on the twenty-third of December with St. Joe's journeying to Lackawanna to meet Our Lady of Victory. staunch supporters of the team did not think that we were capable of retaining the Bishop Burke Trophy and concerned themselves more with predicting how many games we might win rather than in what position we might finish the season. Thus with the qualifications of a b1ack- horse outfit the Maroon opened defense of the Western New York Catholic High School Basketball League Championship. sT. Joes-33 o. L. v.-zo Our Lady of Victory, always hard to beat on their own court, put up a stiff battle and at half- time the score showed the Saints ahead by only one point, 13-12. At this point, however, Al Illig entered the fray and dropped in nine points to spark a ral1y that put the game on ice. Bill Sullivan and Capt. Bucky Illig contributed eight and seven points, respectively, toward the win. ST. jOE'S-35 AQUINAS-22 The second game, a non-league contest, proved to be easier than expected. Highly-rated Canisius had been hard pressed to down the Flower City aggregation, 45-42, but a tight zone de- fense limited Aquinas to a minimum of points from the floor. Ahead by a basket at halftime, St. Joe's pulled away to a 13-point lead with the third quarter spurt again evident before the re- serves came in. Captain Illig was high with twelve points, while brother Al netted six. 2' ST. jOE'S-19 NEUMANN-30 The Neumann game was a repetition of the first two fracases with St. -1oe's enjoying a 22-13 advantage at halftime and a comfortable 33-16 lead when the reserves entered at the fourth quar- ter mark. It now became evident from experience, observation and reports, that Canisius, Holy Angels, and St. Francis of Athol Springs were the powers in the league and that most probably they Bill O'Connor 'N Illig snags 3 rebound- The St, 1065-Canisius game starts- BALL would hnish the season in that order. The team wondered where they would fit in while the highly excitable fans had already stopped guessing at how many games we would win and started talking about another champion- ship. ST. jOE'S-38 ST. MARY'S DEAF--20 Our fourth outing was an easy win, enjoyed at the expense of a weak St. lV1ary's quintet. Although the team was never in real trouble, flashy ball handling and sharp cutting forced the first stringers to play a de- fensive game throughout most of the first quarter. As the younger and less experienced five tired, however, St. Joels pulled away, holding a 22-11 advantage at halftime. The second team ran the lead to 33-15 before the third stringers entered, matching an opponent's five points with a like amount to clinch the game, 38-20. Al Illig again led the Saints with six baskets. ST. jOE'S-39 ST. MARY'S, FALLS-25 Win number five, marking the initial contest of our first major road trip which was to bring us into con- tact with Aquinas, Holy Angels and Canisius on rival courts, was another breeze. Seven men, led once more by A1 Illig with twelve points and Dave Hoen with ten, set up a 38 point barrage which proved too much for the Blue and White. sr. 1012's-19 AQUINAS-25 Round one of our trigonous week saw the Maroon five start slowly and never quite pick up enough momentum. Although the first quarter whistle blew with St. Joe trailing 7-3, a sustained bombardment of the Aquinas basket produced enough points to force a halftime tie at 11-all. But where there should have been a third quarter spurt, only two foul shots were advanced to match four baskets dropped in by the home-town boys. Spirited play during the last stanza served to leave us an additional two points in the hole and the final score stood at Aquinas: 25, St. joe's: 19. On the trip home, the bus reverberated with the much repeated figures: 11 out of 14 and 13 out of 16.', The first is the number of foul shots Aquinas made, second is the number we didn't make. ST. jOE'S-22 HOLY ANGELS-28 On the ropes and breathing hard, we were no match for a strong rival who were hepped up for the game. Early in the game it became apparent that the Blue and White were out for their first win over St. joe's in five years and that they were well prepared to exact the victory. Throwing in difficult long shots while the Saints were missing lay-ups and free throws, Holy Angels extended its two point half-time advantage to 21-15 late in the third quarter. From this time in, St. joe's manag- ed to match their opponents, basket for basket, but the six point deficit proved too large to over- Bill Sullivan U' come and the champs, looking like chumps, suffered their first defeat in league competi- tion in two years. ST. jOE'S-52 CANISIUS-29 The Canisius-on-Delaware gymnasium was jammed with enthusiastic basketball fans when game time rolled around on the first. They cheered wildly during the first half as St. joeis established a narrow lead and fought valiantly to maintain it. Both defenses were extremely tight and the halftime score showed St. h1oe's still out in front, 10-9. Resumption of play saw the Saints widen the gap to 15-10 before Captain Murphy' of Canisius threw in two brilliant long shots to keep his team in the game. With only a half minute of playing time remaining, Canisius led, 26-24. Captain Bucky Illig called time out and the boys St. j0e'5.C,-inisius game- paused to look things over. When the referee1s whistle blew time in, the ball went almost im- mediately to A1 Illig who was standing at the intersection of the half court and side lines. In the twinkling of an eye, he had sent the sphere on a long arched journey up near the ceiling. When it came down the ball dropped cleanly through the net to tie the score, put the fans in an uproar and send the game into an extra period. Without a shot having been taken, Bill Sullivan was fouled and received a free throw. The ball hit the back of the rim, bounced back and was promptly thrown through the hoop by the resurgent Sullivan. Seconds later, Don Miller was left unguarded in the heat of battle and dropped in an easy two points. A break-away basket by Laux of Canisius and a foul shot by the same player immediately after kept the Blue and Gold in the game but they knew now that the cause was lost. About five seconds remained when Dave Hoen ended the scoring with another easy basket. ST. jOE'S-4-i OUR LADY OF VICTORY-32 Back on the right road and determined to stay there, St. -1oe's, paced bv the Illig brothers who scored twenty-five points with A1 getting the big half, rolled to win number six by putting on a great fourth quarter display of point getting. At the final rest period O. 1... V. was still in the game, trailing by only one point. When the whistle blew time in, however, it was as though someone had given the Maroon a signal to open up. Three minutes later, the visitors found themselves fifteen points off the pace. They failed to close the gap appreciatively and the concluding tabulation of the score found St. Joe,s the victor, 44-32. ST. jOE'S-33 ST. FRANCIS-31 The accurate foul shooting and confined court at Athol Springs provided two almost insurmountable ob- stacles to the Saints' chalking up league win number seven. A fast, scrappy Red and White five put up a terrific battle to upset the leaders and were denied only in the closing minutes. They led throughout most of the early stages but dropped behind when the fantastic foul shooting accuracy they annually maintain began to fail. Captain Bucky Illig and his brother Al continued to pace the Maroon scorers with eight and nine points, respectively. Two days later in a postponed contest, Canisius handily beat Holy Angels to step into a first place tie with St. joe's and push the Celestials into second place just ahead of St. Francis and Neumann. ST. jOE'S-27 NEUMANN-31 The bubble burst with that suddenness which has become characteristic. The Williamsville cagers, so easily defeated earlier in the season, were hotter than a California cobblestone on their own court before a capacity crowd who must have sensed that a good game was in the offing. Paced throughout by the speeding Eddie Dean, Neumann spurted to a four point advantage in the first quarter. Consistent hard play served to lengthen the Neumann lead to 27-20 as the third quarter ended. A last period rally could do no better than close the gap by three points. ST. jOE'S-55 ST. MARY'S-33 The mid-week contest with St. Mary,s was hardly more than a good workout. Fourteen men helped to roll up quarterly leads of 17-11, 33-13, 43-24, and finally 55-33. The only item of note for the proceedings was Al 11lig's celebration of his sixteenth birthday by scoring twenty-one points. His brother, Captain Illig, and Bill Sullivan each contributed seven counters to the aggregate. ST. jOE'S-32 NICHOLS-30 Continuing their policy of keeping everybody guessing, the unpredictable Saints rolled up a twelve point advantage in the first period before starting to slip. At halftime the score stood at 18-13 but they seemed to of-we A tense moment in the 104 have everything in hand The last half however proved to be quite a surprise Inspired no doubt by the intense r1valry existing between the two schools the Green and White cagers proceeded to make things tough for St oes They closed the gap steadily and with about four minutes remaining they tied the score Fast and spl ited play by both t ams was culminated by A1 Illlgs pop shot which swlshed the nets just as the final whistle blew much the same as the Canisius encounter except that the two points gave us immediate victory in stead of p olong1ng the game ST JOE S 4+ St Mary s of Niagara Falls seeking their hrst league win in eleven starts, certainly fatled to find it at the Canisius Villa on
