Under President Roy Mullen and faculty advisor Fr. Divine, they have carried to a successful culmination a strenuous program of activities. Early in October, Mullen, aided by Vice-President. jack Walsh, Secretary Tom McNearney and class represen - atives, ,lack Morris, joe Amacl, Pierre LaBarge, Jack Wilson, lsidore Barrale, and Bill O'Connor, formulated pl -ns-Aff for the initial social function of the year, a Gay Nineties Party.

ZS 'HW the Council later sponsored several other mixed parties, in November a Victory Party. which accompanied our acquisition of the Prep League football trophy, and in Febru- ary, a Pre-Lenten Party. The Entertainment Committee, who by their talent helped to insure the imminent success of these parties was composed of O'Connor, Ries, Curran, Power, T. Walsh, and Leinauer, and the com- mittee itself was headed by Dreher and Calla- han. With Ostermeyer as chairman, Quin- livan, Dahm, Pesold, Kane, Newsham, Kreps, and Kurtz comprised the Decoration Com- mittee, while Schmandt, Vitt, Hart, Horm- berg, Signaigo, Maruska, and Walsh served as members of the Refreshment Committee. As a prelude to the C.B.C. game, a bon- fire rally was held, November I4, on the St. Louis U. High campus. Bill Holland was chairman for the event, and his father, Mr. joseph Holland, was a featured speaker on the program. The fourth annual Home- Coming Banquet took place, November I5. at the Kingsway Hotel. The principal speakers of the evening were judge Edward Ruddy and Mr. Delbert Morrissey. Mr. Phil Lippert, '40, and Mr, Frank Dooling, '27, President of the Alumni Association, were also guest speakers. The Toastmaster was Vice-President Jack Walsh. As a patriotic gesture, the Home-Coming celebration was employed as an opportunity for assisting in the Community Chest Drive, A sum of S97 was collected at the bonfire rally. The foremost social attraction of the year was the Senior Prom, held this year on May I7 at the Missouri Athletic Club. Herb Mahler's orchestra was secured for the even- ing. Mullen and McNearney supervised the preparations. The final activity of the year was the customary Senior Picnic, when the class gathered at Heman Park on the Easter Mon- day, April 26. a IQ x N .

Z f '. f X J ' fe 4 rl , ff f z Page Twenty fwe Senior Retreat Once again the Senior Class of St. Louis University High School was given the opportunity of making a three day closed retreat at the St. Louis House of Re- treat, the White House. This privilege, which is in- deed a rare one for high school students, was received as a singular opportunity by the Seniors, who proved themselves capable of deriving the utmost benefit from it. The retreat, as in past years, was made possible through the untiring efforts of Fr. Divine, Senior moderator, and the Senior Council. A closed retreat is an event of the highest impor- tance in the life of a boy about to graduate from high school. It presents him with a place of seclusion and contentment where he can forget the cares and worries of the world and concentrate on the really important things in life. It offers him an opportunity for solving his spiritual problems through the counsels of expe- rienced retreat-masters, and it inevitably results in a reawakening of his faith, which is so necessary in molding the Catholic boys of today into the Catholic leaders of tomorrow. The retreat was a fitting climax To the left, situated in the replica o f the cave of Manrcsa in the Chapel, is the stained glass representation of St. Igna- tius Loyola praying, shortly before his inspiration to write the Exercises. Below is the chapel at the White House. SENIOR MODERA TOR FR. j. DIVINE, SJ. to the four years the Seniors have spent under the guidance of their capable and experienced instructors. As in former years the many retreatants were di- vided into four groups. The respective retreat masters were Father Lawrence Chiuminatto, S.-I., Father Robert Tallmadge, SJ., Father John Divine, SJ., and Father Patrick Phillips, SJ. The captains for the various groups were joe Amad, Roy Mullen and Pierre LaBarge. These three days of peaceful seclusion spent at the White House, situated high on the Mississippi bluffs, with its scenic Way of the Cross, sunken gardens, the eautiful chapel and cozy rooms will never be forgot- ten by the Backer High students, who reacted nobly to the splendid spirit of the retreat. Page Twenty-six HOMECOMING CELEBRATICJN The fourth annual Home- coming banquet on Nov. I5 climaxed a week end of un- usual moment at St. Louis U. High. On the eve of the tradi- tional St. Louis U. High C. B. C. conflict, hundreds of rabid Billiken fans staged a giant pep rally on the campus. Mr. Joseph Holland and Fr. Zim- merman, addressed the assembly while Coach O'Reil- ly introduced the members of the squad. The master-of- ceremonies was Bill Holland. The gathering produced a dual result-not only was it a manifestation of the student's support of the team and, con- sequently. an inspiration to them, but it was also the oc- casion of generous donations to the War Chest Drive. The success attending the Homecoming banquet was in every way proportionate to the success attained by the Bills in their encounter that afternoon with C. B. C. Im- mediately after the 27e0 Dau- phin victory, the Alumni and their hosts repaired to the Kings-Way Hotel where they banqueted. Judge Edward Ruddy and Mr. Delbert Mor- rissey were secured as fea- tured speakers for the even- ing.

Thomas McGuire The class of lll-A needs no heraldic fanfare to call attention to itself, for its deeds speak for the class most eloquently. First we take pleasure in presenting our class officers: McGuire, Mungenast, Padberg, and Doyle are the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively. ln scholastic standing lil-A ranks among the highest. Our class leader is Kirchoff, whose position is closely contested by McCarthy. Reed, and others. Let no one think, however, that this is a class of all work and no play. Rosenthal, Reed, jack Hegeman, Walsh, and Harry l-legeman were some of our contributions to the football team. Rosenthal was also on the Varsity Basketball Squad. Aspirants for the Track Team include Reed, Mungenast, McGuire, and Neaf. Orchestra members are Kilburg, Joly, and Lindberg. Thomas is one of the best known and most prominent members of the Cnlee Club. Phelan is known to all as a talented artist for his work in the line of drawing and sketching. McDonnell's fame has spread wide because of his excellent work in the Camera Club, of which he is the President. The Science and Library Clubs are other organizations to which he belongs, Padberg is principally known for his work on the Varsity Debate Squad. He is also a member of the Pan-American Club, the Junior Latin Forum, and the Dauphin Staff. George is a promi- nent member of the U. Prep News and Yearbook Staff. Another member of the Science Club is that genial companion, Dooling. Our wizard in matters Algebraic is Valleroy. Lyons, Holton, Tierney, and Flood are some of our future aviators, judging by their work in Aeronautics Class. Rooney and I-lurforcl are renowned for their searching questions in Religion and Algebra Class respectively. Without Daues and Berger we would not have that geniality and impressiveness that now distinguishes us. Finally, we wish some one could tell us how Allhoff and Rund always manage to be so cheerful. Their everlasting smile is contagious. Finally, to Mr. Gallagher, our interesting English teacher, to Mr. Miller, who explained the mysteries of Chemistry, to Mr. Eatough, with whom we journeyed to Ciceronian Rome, to Fr. Kelly, by whoms Creek was made enjoyable, to Fr. Hochhaus, who expounded the truths of Religion, to Mr. Perk, the genial teacher of Algebra, and last, but certainly not least, to Mr. Van Roo, our most able and interesting Sodality moderator, we say sincerely, We thank you. one and all.

This thing has gone on all year, and I'm getting tired of it. In September, Neal started it off by campaigning for his dad: Finnegan and I-Ioffmeister opened up their exclusive conversational class: Warner was elected class chairman, and Franzman, our industrious secretary. Then our first reports went home and even our grades didn't quiet us clown. Kohl starts telling Lane about his job at AGP: Stanley talks to Esquire Bill McGuire at the slightest provocation. while Leiser smiles knowingly and takes in the whole show. Now comes the long awaited and heralded vacation. But as soon as we get back, Feiser starts telling Kickham of his parcel-post job. Mccaffery related his experiences with the draft-board and Fugel starts bragging about his basketball team. To complicate things our band member, Mueller, thinks he's doing a solo all the time and, when he doesn't know the answers, Carmody tells him. Sit down, Rohan! You may be Ill E's gift to the missions, but that's all they'll ever get from these spenclthrifts in here. But to continue with this brief summary. Backer is the quiet pupil, but only when you don't mention cameras to him: while Markuli is the lad with the bright Pepsodent smile. John Matthews takes the absentees with the help of Thomas, our honor man, while Ryan has the job of collecting homework. 'Wild Bill' Downes and Dwyer make up a terri- fic pair who, to put it mildly ,... well, l can't very well put it mildly. We also have three newcomers to our room. Clejanon, Central America's package of T. N. T., Michael and Wallach, When Stanton isn't attending after school 'classes', he lends his talents to the track team. This, however, is not the extent of our athletic endeavor. Stan- ton, Dames and Finnegan were members of the varsity football team, while Finnegan also was on the varsity basketball squad. Thus in a few well chosen words, you have a composite picture of III E. of '43, Looking back over the kaleidoscopic picture of the past year, we all agree that it has been a year of mutual enjoyment to teachers and students alike.

That noisy talking is being done by Dodge, our elocutionist. Muckerman, class sodality chairman and sophomore sodality prefect, calls the meetings to order after wisecracks by Orthwein. the Humorist.

We have that certain quality which spells success, for William Forrest, sodality president, conducts a most parliamentary meeting. Charles Brielmaier is known throughout the school. not only for his high marks, but for his famous Brielmaier scoot which gets him to classes faster than a bolt of greased lightining. Richard Driskill, Edward Cook, Roger Brown, Ed Lebeau, Thomas Landholt, Richard Federer, George Bannantine, and William Forrest, are the leading scholastic men, but right behind them Julius Sommer, Jerry Travers. Edward Loftus, Edward Oberreither, Festus Shaughnessy, Jim Stochl, and Jim Gummersbach follow with their marks of intelligence beaming from their faces. Thomas Landholt, future Tommy Dorsey, is 2-B,s special trombonist. William Forrest and Richard Federer are the class's oratorical offering. The Prep News staff has William Forrest, Julius Sommer, Charley Brielmaier, and Richard Federer to boast of. The Glee Club attributes its deep base rumble to the efforts of Rodger Brown and Richard Federer. The sports gallery is decorated with the pictures of Ed Oberreither. Ed Loftus, Richard Driskill, Gene Gartland, George Bannantine, Festus Shaughnessy, John O'Connor, Jim Stochl and Fred Monterubio. Without these men the B and C football teams wouldn't be what they are. Jerry Travers with his true and accurate shots has made himself the B basketballer of the room. Leading the team at the bend in the SSO are the track men from this famed class, who are Jim Butler, Joe Kennedy, George Bannantine, James Breeden, Richard Federer, and Jim Gummersbach. Special mention is deserved by Charley Schaeffer who is an A Num- ber One pugilist and incidentally the class's chief artist. Congratulations go to Robert Bub for always having his tardy slip ready: to Ed Loftus, cousin of Ed LeBeau, who keeps the I-listory class in stitchesg Orchids to John O'Connor for clicking his heels along the terrazo floors, annoying everyone. And the same to George Guidici for his ready wit and snappy comeback which makes every class move swiftly. So there you have it. A super class, bound for success. Page Thirty- four Sophomore C President. . . . . George Porter With the exception of Forrest, Loftus, Hoffmaier, and Richey, last year's I-F became this year's famed II-C. The vacancies were well filled by Mudd, McCroarty. and Long, a new student this year. One of our choicest prides is that all are ardent members of the So- dality of Our Lady. Prefect O'ConneII is our leader and Ries is Secre- tary of the Sodality. Our class is ably led by Porter, O'ConneII serving as Vice-President, Hutchison Secretary, and Uxa Treasurer. We boast a record as the leader of all Sophomore classes in the mission collections. taken up by Cavagnaro. Padberg is on the Apostolic Committee, and Michel is responsible for the varied entertainment we enjoyed through- out the year. When it comes to studies, Il-C is out in front with the rest of the classes. In Mr. Jelinelc, trying to stay on the problems of Religion, Fr. Sheridan giving us closes of History, Fr. I-Iindelang leading us into the engrossing jungles of Latin and English, ancl Mr. Merello teaching us all the angles of Geometry, we have a combination of teachers of which no other class can boast. Consult the list led by O'ConneII, Ries, and jolcerst of first honors. Nor has our athletic record been bad. We have B football lettermen in Sontag, Arnold, Reese, Whealan, Mudd, Long, and Whelan. Rei- nagel, Eclcellcamp, and Long are promising baseball stars, while we have Uxa on wrestling team. Physical Education Class claims the merits of Brennan, MCC-roarty, and Kohm. Schloemer, Doyle, Schiffer, and Schmitt take honors on the handball courts. There are few if any who do not partake in some extra-curricular activity. The band and orchestra has Ries and Deppe as members. the Glee Club Arnold and Whealan. Our class book-binder is Hoorman. with Whelan in the Camera Club. Mehan and O'Connell are on the University Prep News, Debate Team and on the Elecution Team. O'Connell merited first place in the Sophomore Elecution Contest. One- half of the school Cheerleaders were from II-C, namely O'Brien, Michel and Hutchison. For two years we have been together . . . we wonder if we will meet again in some junior classroom. We hope so. MODERA TOR i 0-.4un5 FR.

HOCHHAUS. SJ. President , . . . ......... ......... H arvey Higgins The likely looking group of boys that gathered together back in September in Room I I0 now takes its place in history as the versatile class of II-D. Proudly we sent our delegates Joe Llewellyn and Charles Baker, class Sodality officers, to the Central Committee of the Sodality of Our Lady. Active as a unit in the Sodality, we carried out success- fully our private collection of stamps under the energetic leadership of Bill Weismantel, for the benefit of the missions. Charles Baker used his personality in urging us to contribute generously to the weekly mission collection. Highest honors for success in studies were well merited by jim Reidy, hard pressed by Higgins, who likewise showed executive ability as class president, Podjeski. Farrelly and Nich Short. Farrelly also represented our class in the field of debating. It would be a fatal blow to the athletic designs of Coach Jack O'Reilly were II-D's stalwart men of tomorrow to be lost. Bill Dunn was the lone sophomore considered talented enough to start on the varsity cage squad. Bredeck and King were star members of the B basketball team. In football, Dunn, Waddock, Weismantel, Bredeck and Llewellyn bolstered the B team. while Higgins cavorted under the C Team colors. Tom Walsh, Joe Lawrence, Cole and Waddock shone in the manly art of self-defense. Perhaps this is why Lawrence so successfully helped to manage one of the best varsity football teams in the history of the school, and later distinguished himself on the soccer field. On the swimming team Short and Thumser proved we were not merely land-lubbersn in the realm of sport. As Spring approached, Ebeling and Nusbaum had high hopes on the track squad. In dull moments, Hummert, lVIclVIenamy and Short kept the spirit of humor alive, and we could always arouse tired eyes by gazing on the brilliant color scheme of Podjeski's ruddy cheeks and Schluter's yellow sweater. Never could Heithaus. our camera expert, complain about the dearth of subject for candid shots. There was always Billy Bellm, taking top honors as the smallest member of II-D: the shining countenance of Miller: the pensive mood of Herzog: Renz, on the receiving end of Father Hochhaus' wrath: Nash, vying with Short in a loud Uguffawn for no reason at all. For a pleasant, successful year we owe much to the hard, faithful work of our teachers: Father Hochhaus in Latin and Religion: Father Hindelang in English: Father Sheridan in History: Mr. lVIereIlo and Mr. Ring in Geometry. Page Thirty-six Sophomore E President ., . .john Tramelli Under the effective class presidency of john Tramelli, 2 E is recog- nized by its teachers as a sophomore class infused with the indomitable spirit of Backer Hi. Appropriately, E stands for energy, enthusiasm. and excellence and there is never a dull moment in the classes. Abound- ing with geniuses we have to offer: joe Rozier, sodality chairman and B basketball and baseball star. Bill Raack, class and sodality secre- tary, is a hrst honor man and performed on the spelling team. Sky- scraper Ed Macauley, snatched class honors and played center on the B basketball team. Also on the cagers' B team were Powers, Greene, Williamson. and Linkul. Our football huskies included Tra- melli, Greene, Allen. Reid. Gantner, Eichenlaub, Stephens, Jochens, and McCarthy. Our midget Gene Hogg is unsurpassed in school spirit. Handball champion Felix Genazzi is ably followed by Carl Sallee and Bill Schaefer in this line. Camera fans, Harry Moyler and Carl Zeitler are willing to pay a fortune for a flashbulb. Bob Moser and Leo Bub are constantly wanted by Fr. Hochhaus. Andy McNearney and Bernard Griesedieck catch Fr. I-lerman's eye as crack geometricians. Track aspirants were Rex Deghuee and Ed Menard. And last, but not least. come john Rum- bolo and Bill O'Flynn whose only claim to fame is that they never cause trouble in class. This is usually caused by a deep and untroubled sleep. So until we see you one year hence as noble juniors, au revoir. WW Wi l i i Ind' N-nf FR.

Page Thirty-eight Sophomore President. , , . . .Tom Eberle As the 1943 season rapidly nears its close, it's time one again to review the reports sent in by 2-G News Service Correspondents all over the school. Most of the correspondents were fresh from cub reporting in l-C. New members included Andrews, Bick, Hudson, Luecke, O'Toole, Schafly. Zebas, and Guerich. At mid-year News- Hawk Bill Wells joined the staff. Among the new teachers were Mr. Merello, Geometry: Fr. Stauder. English: Mr. Hasser, American History: Mr. Eatough, Latin: and Mr. Mehok, Religion. Mr. Meholc was replaced at the end of the semester by Fr. Hindelang. On the football gridiron came reports from 2-G correspondents Hudson. Selvaggi, Hoffman, Naunheim. Boschert, Burelbach, Whyte, and Linkul, while our on-the-spot observers in the U. Prep News Room were Selvaggi and Swetnam. News from the basketball floor was wirelessed by Linlcul, Hernan, Eberle, and Crowley. Our own john ,lobe was a varsity basketball manager. Public Speakers Sweney, Kerckhoff. and Schlafly turned in fine reports from the Elocution Contest. Sodality reports were handled by Prefect ,lim Swetnam and Bob Sweney. Eberle and Burelbach gave a good account of themselves on the handball courts. Manion and Schlafly told of several fast tennis sets on the clay courts. Tracksters Bell, Hernan, Selvaggi, Manion and Boschert radioed vivid accounts of the activity On the cinderpath, while Andrews. Boersig. Lucas, O'Toole, Noell, and Dubuque told of progress in the Physical Education department. Photographers Whyte, Noell, and Burelbach gave a comprehensive picture of the news from the Camera Club. The baseball diamond yielded reports from Nolan, Selvagghk Hudson, Crowley. and Naunheim. On the home front, in Room I I6 itself, Class President Tom Eberle has some difficulty in finding the correct history book to use.

Junior track candidates, Dougherty, Hutti, Mattingly, Moxley, Ostermeier, and Smith. West was our swimming enthusiast: Ostermeier also went aquatic for a while. This then is the Freshman Class of I-A. May these athletes and scholars have every success in the ensuing years and may they realize their fondest ambitions. Page Forty reshman President. .. , .

Our shining motto consisted of but one word, Character ! Worthy President of the class was Murray: we're justly proud of him. Brendecke was Treasurer and Missions Aid Manager. O'Connell was Secretary of the Freshman Sodality, in which McKenna was also an officer. Highest class honors went to Hahn at the quarter, to Windle at the half. What a race! Our able public speaker, Stryker. won second place in a very close Freshman contest. Beck's fine Christmas story merited publication in The Dauphin. The C-lee Club was melodious with the voices of Brendecke, Beck, Mullarkey, Stryker, Thurber and Windle. Thurber represented us in the Camera Club. The athletic roster certainly showed I-B's manly enthusiasm in sports and physical training for the ideal A Sound Mind in a Soun Body . We were a big part of the doughty C team in football, with players Ahrens, Beck. Bluth, Brendecke, Frank, de Silva, Mullarkey, Murray, O'Connell, and Young. On the rampaging Midget football team were Cavagnaro, Cordia, McGrOarty, Mason, Menke, Poisson. Stryker. Tappella, Thurber, Tieman, White, and Windle. Then on the Basketball C team we find Cordia, Murray, and Wrape. The Midget basketball squad boasted Grace, Hahn, MCC-roarty, Mason, Poisson, and Young. Out for B baseball were Ahrens. Brendecke, and Cordiag for Midget baseball, Poisson and Young. Our track repre- sentative was Murray. McKenna distinguished himself in swimming: at the Missouri State High School Swimming Meet, he met and de- feated a former champion in the l00-yard free style swim. We believe McKenna could have a lot of fun with a school of dolphins! The drive and enthusiasm of l-B in their Freshman year point to a future rosy with achievement for all in the years to come.

Anyone with an ear for music will tell you that Furlong blows a mean trumpet in the band. Our five members of the Acolythical Society served faithfully and made very few mistakes during the year. If there is any singing to do, call on our trio of Collins Sly, and Seger. Believing that one should have a sound mind in a sound body, most of us went out for sport. To the Midgets we gave such stars as Brengle, Watson, Cassani, Seger, Koch, Miller, Sly, Meyer and Collins. The C team was strengthened by Walsh, Ruddy, Savard, Black, Edwards, Hefley, Graham, and Henderson fCaptainD. Cary, Furlong, and Hauser also played good basketball.

The great Phys Ed Kid Huebner does a bit of wrestling. He practices during school hours by trying to hold on to his books. Henderson and Hauser do their kicking in soccer. The track team has two of our fast men, Koch and Seger. Our teachers are Mr. Cull, Algebra: Mr. Brady, English: Mr. Porter, History: Mr. Gallagher, Religion: and Fr. Miles, Latin. Huebner has nearly exhausted his supply of stories explaining why he sometimes comes late to class: Findall once did his homework in advance, Walsh is a candid camera enthusiastg Sly promotes mission collections backed up by cakes: Heavy-set Watson prefers group picnics where there aren't too many steep hills to climb.

This is station S.L.U.H., the voice of St. Louis University High School, bringing you the annual report of Classroom l-D. ln the line of athletics, I-D leads off with a splendid representation on the various football squads. It contributed Jim Foster, a fullback, Ken Gereau. sensational tackle, Ray Knoll and Tom Riley, staunch linemen, and Tom Sears, another fullback. to the undefeated C team. On the Mighty Mites were Crosby, Deckert, Farrington, Steinmetz, Massey, Surkamp, McGilligan, Mulligan, Schiffer, Schlafly. and Woltering. ln basketball, l-D gave Crosby, Deckert, Farrington. McGilligan. Sears and Steinmetz to the minor squads. On the track team Gereau is a star pole-vaulter, Knoll and Sears heave the shot- put, while Birk. O'Halloran, Valenta, Cilufo, and Steinmetz will match their speed against the Heetest track men. l-D contributed Valenta, and Sears to the swimming team. On the wrestling team l-D was represented by Birk and Sears. But l-D also has displayed its scholarship in many other activities. Steinmetz contributed a short story, entitled Her Christmas Gift to the Christmas Dauphin. Riordan likewise manifests his literary talents on the University Prep News. When it comes to elocution, I-D need take second place to no class for this activity, profited by the ability of such budding oratorsu as Deckert, Surkamp, Mulligan, Riordan, and Steinmetz. ln addition, l-D also is quite active in the Freshman Sodality. When it comes to charity, I-D obviously takes first place. It has lecl in the Mission drive all year. It has also started the selling of Timeless Topix magazines in order to improve the collections. ln charge of the Mission collection is Jack Dig Deep Schiffer. l-D has also had fine teachers during the past year. To Messrs. Porter, Mehok, Ring, Curry, Van Ackeren and Cull and Frs. Zimmerman and Benoist we owe a dept of gratitude for their unselfish efforts on our behalf.

W. JAMES JELINEK, S.J. President. . , . . .James Walsh The best of '43 is found in I-E: at least the group you see before you thinks so. If it is excellence in studies you ask, we can call on Walsh, the Illinois boy who says that getting class honors runs in the family, or Coukoulis who has a question for any occasion, or Ford and Croak, because if they don't know a thing well, at least they can orate so loudly that no one will know the difference. and Bob Flick doesn't need any help for his knowledge. Or if it is athletes you want, we will ask you what the midgets would have done without I-E.. Jim Walsh was a hard-to-stop half- back, and Gouty, Halloran, Kaletta, Lappin the Indian, and McLaugh- lin gave the opposition plenty to worry about. Callopin' Ghost Ford was a bothersome fullback for the mighty C team. Powers called the signals for Sommers' fast-around-ends on the same squad. Beetz held up the center of the line at his guard position, while Croak and Coukoulis turned the plays into the big tackle Mclntyre. Mack can prove that he was a good tackle-look at his broken nose. Basketball is also quite in our line. Sommers is a live spark for the B team. Powers and Walsh do very well on the C team: while Kalleta, Halloran, Beetz, McLaughlin, Gouty, and Klatt are midget stars. Adams, Kaletta, and Schwartz will snap you in the worst pose, if you stray too near the dark room. Klatt is a striking figure in his band uniform. For a certain fee, Al Memmel can promise you that your name will appear in the next edition of the Prep News. Kretsch- mer will tell you how to cure the most biting of bee-stings. Brady will beat you at handball or put on the gloves with the best. And Spencer not only looks like an angel but also sings like one. Nor is our life in I-E a dull life. Pop-Gunn, with his constant fire of questions in Algebra, keeps things lively for lVlr. Cull. But the general entertainers are Round Bob Gouty and Bobbie Powers. Pat Elder keeps us happy during physical ed. class, and, although Krummel is quiet, the way he punches one keeps one quite awake. Some of Buchanan's 25c words keep others of us awake: he must have been raised on a dictionary vitamin. And now and then Joe Bena drops in for a class or so, just to keep up old acquaintances. We also had a good set of teachers. Messr. Jelinek, Brady, Curry, and Mr. I-Iummert began the year teaching us. l-lummert was called by his Uncle Sam to another and bigger job. Mr. Nlehok, led us on through the mazes of history. Page Forty-four reshman President. . . . .Thomas Lawton St. Louis U.

Midget basket- ball claimed McCarthy, Sullivan, and Cianino. Sweeney, O'Leary, and Kavanaugh starred on the court too. Sledgehammer Sebastian.

And if we only possessed a Kilmer he would surely have produced a poem every bit as touching as Sire ine written about that old house with its shingles broken and ac . But until the man-power shortage made it necessary to clisband one class in first year, Cand l-G became that class, there was very definitely someone in it. Dick Nealon, Five-By-Five O'Leary and Bob Mc- Carthy proved to any of the B Football squad who doubted that there was someone in l-G. The C Team would have had a difficult time fin- ishing an undefeated season without Big Bill Knoll and Fred Luth, Glenn Murphy, Ray Cahill, and Pat Burke. And the Midgets would have been forced to call off their heaviest games had not l-G furnished them with Jake Weber and Bill Quigley, quarterback jerry l-lemkens, Greg Daues, Tom Colfer, and Russ Weber. ln basketball, too, Fresh- men G men were very necessary. The C team needed Dick Nealon, Glenn Murphy, O'Leary, and Fred Luth badly. And the Midgets were strongly supported by flashy Bill Quigley, Jerry l-lemkens, Bill Linek, and Tom Colfer. Russ Weber managed them well. Nor will the teachers forget the somebodies in l-G. They will never be able to understand clearly how so much knowledge could be wrapped up in that little package called Walt l-lines. It was clear how Fred Luth carried such a heavy intellect. They will also continue to wonder why Makarewicz needed to sleep in every class. They were pleased with Russ and Welborn and Weber's speeches on Sodality Reception night. Porcupine Bill Oetter did a lot of talking, in a disturbing sort of way. Behlmann had something to say on most points, but sounded the best in Albegra class. Rapp took care of the financial worries of our English teacher, selling the Queen's Work to all of us. And the Dittmaier-Daues duet soon drew the teachers attention. Cranmer with his bland smile and slick hair-do was a puzzle to his teachers, for awhile. Ehrhard was a genial chap who was first in the class, geographically at least. Popo- vich was the silent partner of Don Roelle and Don Rohman, but that golden silence was broken too frequently by remarks from Big Will Wil- helm. He moved soon. When dear old room l I3 was forcibly evacuated, the orphans of l-G moved sorrowfully into other classes. But, no matter where they are, none of these boys will forget the spirit of the G men.

Page Fo1'f4z1-seveiz ,Soclalities Senior Sodalit Father John Divine, S. presided over the first meeting of the Senior Sodality which was held on September 25. The first function of the sodality as a body was the election of officers. Joe Amacl, loyal sodalist and head of the Acolythical society, was chosen Prefect of the Sodality. Other Sodality officers elected at that time were: jack Walsh, First Assistant Prefectg Frank Bergin, Second Assistant Prefectg Tom McNearney, Secretary, and Roy Mullen, Treasurer. The members of the Central Committee were: L. Glynn, Wilson, L. DeVoto, Morris, B. Holland, B. Quinlivan, and W. O'Connor. The officers were solemnly installed in a chapel ceremony conducted by the Sodality mod- erator, Father Divine. They recited their oaths of office together, following which Father Divine instructed them on the duties of an officer of the Sodality. The cere- mony was concluded with the Vespers of the Little Office of the lm- 'ai ,.

However, mental prayers were given be- fore the Sodality from .time to time by Fr.. Divine, Glenn Moore, Joe C A ff f A f Amad, and John Morris. Several other spiritual talks were delivered before the Sodalists by joe Amad, Leo DeVoto, Tom McNearney, ' and Frank Bergin. Wg fr r The first social function of the sodality was the annual Skating party which was held on December 8, at the Arena roller rink. The A party was attended by more than 450 Catholic high school students li' fiW'4'i55'aiiZi from the St. Louis area. JOE AMAD Page Forty-eight The Tin Can Social, the Christmas project of the sodality was held on December l8. Though the majority of Juniors and Seniors could not attend the entertainment because of employment in the Post Office, the social was a great success. Despite shortages, canned goods flowed into the annual collection for the poor, and were dis- tributed by volunteers from the Sodality in time to brighten many a needy home on Christmas day. UNION PREFECT 2 ln- l . Bill Holland acted as master of ceremonies for the program of the ff N' social. Besides the customary turkey raffle, there were two plays drawn from the talent of the freshman and sophomore years, and songs by seniors William Miller and Robert Simpson. The mission committee was outstanding this year under the able direction of Joe Amad. Assisting the Chairman in maintaining the 35l0.00 average this year were: C. Leinauer, P. Quirk, Bill Reis, Tom Mulvihill, Cahill, and Droege. The other committees with their chairmen were as follows: Literature Committee, Tom McNearneyp Eucharistic Committee, Frank Berging Our Lady's Committee, Jack Morris: Publicity Committee, Bob Quinlivang Apostolic Committee, Tom Mulvihill. As usual the Sodality was well represented in the Catholic Students Mission Crusade by Don Hummel, Bill Reis, and John Morris who was elected Treasurer of the city-wide organization. The C. S. M. C. oratorical contest was held at St. Louis U. High which was well represented among the winners of the contest. L , . .f f 'Q WJ V JACK WALSH The Sodality continued in its leadership among the high schools of St. Louis, being well rep- resented at the meetings of the Sodality Union. jack Walsh was Union Prefect. The Sodality Union May Crowning was held at the High School on Sunday evening, May 9. This ceremony, an expression of the filial devotion to Our Blessed Lady, is held every year by the Union. ln the crowning in the chapel, jack Walsh, Union Prefect escorted the Queen, while Joe Amad served as escort in the ceremony held on the campus. The other members of the Central Committee served as escorts for the Queen's maids of honor. Left lo Right: Slanding. .... DeVoto, Quinlivan. Holland, O'Connor, Morris, Glynn, Wilson Sealed ..,...

Raephael I-I. l-lochhaus, S. the junior Sodality held its first meeting late in Septemberg and on October 23 the officers were elected and the committees formed. Richard Dempsey was named Prefect while Frank Finnegan became Assistant Prefect and Don Reed, Secretary. The Central Committee, consisting of representatives from each class, had in its ranks, jack O'Malley, Don Tator, James Cullen, Richard Menkhus, John Padberg, and William Loftus, besides the officers. The Apostolic Committee was organized under jack O'Malleyg the Eucharistic under Don Reedg the Marian, John Padberg: the Publicity, William Loftus: and the Membership and So- cial, Frank Finnegan. ln addition to the above general Committees and Chairmen, each class had its own respective committees and chairmen, which carried on the Sodality work nobly. Moderators were also named at this meeting for each room: Mr. Wm. Van Roo, 3Ag Mr. C. C. Mehok, 3Bg Mr. F. Brady, 3Cg Fr. Hochhaus, 3Dg and Mr. Hummert, 3E.. During the first few months each class conducted its own inquiry forum , and talks were given in the chapel every few weeks. The Annual Sodality Skating Party was held at the Arena on December 8, and the junior Sodalists put in much time and effort to make it a greater success than in past years. On the eighteenth, the Wlqin Can Social , a charity affair which supply the needy of St. Louis and St. Louis County with food and if clothing every Christmas, was staged in the school gym, along with traditional Yuletide celebrations. During the entire year the Mission Collections were high and mighty, with an average of ten dollars or more a week from the five Junior classes. During Lent the Committees were very active and provided the incentive for all Sodalists to do much more this year than they did last Lent. A junior Sodality Party was held after Easter, and proved to be a great success. Throughout the year the officers and committeemen carried on their work assiduously, enkindled with the true spirit of Catholic Action: and can well boast that this was the junior Sodality's most successful year. FR. R. H. HOCHHAUS, S.J. Page Fifty Sophomore Sodality During the past year the Sophomore Sodality, guided by Fr. Michael l-lindelang, S. recorded many and varied accom- MODERATOR plishments. Not the least of these were the weekly mission collections that netted S230 in the first semester. A one-act farce entitled This ls Your Draft Board was presented by Sophomore actors at the annual Tin Can Social. Among the players were Richard Federer, james Burelbach, William Forest, Donald Mehan, Jerry Bradford, Thomas Manion, Jerome Shea, and Charles Macauley. The production was under the direction of Mr. Curry, S. Various fun-nights and a stamp drive for the benefit of the missions rounded out the season's work. Early in the year the officers were elected by popular vote. Joseph Muckerman was chosen Prefect. Under him were Robert Sweney, First Assistant: John Tramelli, Second Assistant: Daniel O'Connell, Secretary, and Richard Dodge, Treasurer. Each FR' M' L' HINDELANG' S' J' class elected its room representatives who presided at the indi- vidual room meetings and represented it on the Central Com- mittee. They were as follows: ZA, joseph Muckerman and Joseph Cirossg ZB, Thomas Landholt and Edward Cook: ZC, Daniel O'Connell and Andrew Reis: ZD, Joseph Llewellyn and Charles Baker: ZE, Joseph Rozier and William Raackg ZF, john Blanton and Rogers Vieng ZG, Robert Sweney and James Swetnam. Regular Friday meetings were held in the individual classrooms where each room held its own discussions and other various programs. These programs ranged from quizzes on religious sub- jects to contests in Mental Prayer writing. The Queen's Work Semester Outline prepared espe- cially for Sodality work, was found very useful in planning the season's activities. Individual class moderators supervised the class meetings. Fr. Michael I-lindelang, Mr. Marcus Haworth, S. Mr. James tlelinek, S. Mr. Eugene Merello, Mr. Thomas Curry, S. Mr. Richard Porter, S. and Father Paul Stauder, S. served as prefects.

Kelly, S. to equal the record-breaking total collected by the previous class, the freshmen responded with a zeal that should net about 35400 by the end of the school year. December 8 saw the reception of over one hundred-seventy students, mostly freshmen, into the Sodality of Our Lady. Shortly thereafter the election of officers took place. Joseph Hill of IF was chosen Prefect. Under him were First Assistant Roy l-loltrup, IA, Second Assistant Robert Powers, IE: Secretary Leo O'Connell, IB: and Treasurer John Schiffer, ID. The Central Committee, in addition to the officers already mentioned, was made up of Paul Watson, IC, joseph O'l-lalloran, ID, and Frederick Luth, IG. As was the custom last year, meetings were held in the individual classrooms rather than in a body. Mr. Sanderson, S. Mr. Van Ackeren, S. Fr. Miles, S. Mr. Cull, S. Fr. Kelly, S. Mr. Eathough, S. and Mr. Gallagher, S. were the moderators of the individual class- rooms. Chief social event of the year was the Freshman Night held on February 5. Over one hundred-forty students were in attendance Room ID should be especially commended for its fine work in the practice of Catholic Action. It leads the Freshman class in the mission collection by holding weekly stamp auctions where Q collectors market their duplicates for the benefit of the missions. IB and IC have also contributed much to the success of the mission drive. Thus the freshman class of next year has to surmount many obstacles before it reaches the goals set by this year's Freshman Sodality. FR. J. KELLY. SJ.

Indicative of the self-effacing efforts of Faculty Advisor Fr. Divine, S. Editor ,lack Walsh, and the staff itself and the talent of the students was the excellent quality and remarkable finesse pervading the perennial Christmas Dauphin. Each individual class submitted a representative selection, either an essay, short story, poem or editorial. The Christmas festive celebrations were naturally the central theme of this edition. Complying with the precedence set by last Christmas' Dauphin, the Athletic resume was omitted again this year, in as much as this category of activities had received the particular attention of special editions of the University Prep News, the high school publication. However, the major literary opus of the year was the Dauphin annual. Under the editorship of jack Walsh with Associate Editor Jack Morris heading the supporting staff, the '43 Dauphin annual has compiled a composite record of the graduating class and underclasses, their extra-curricular and scholastic activities. The various organizationsf the Latin Fora, the Sodalities, the Pan-American Club, the Literary Circle. Debating and Athletics as well, all were given thorough, competent treatmnet. The year book was again dedicated to the Alumni of St. Louis U. High serving in the armed forces of our country. while sub-dedications to Father General of the Jesuit Order, Fr. Leahy and Fr. Shyne and Fr. Sennhauser, former faculty members at Backer High, also were made. The quality of this publication speaks well for the journalistic ability of the staff. ln addition, Pierre LaBarge, Business Manager of the Dauphin, and his selected assistants deserve justly merited recognition for their commend- able services in the financial department of the yearbook.

Every school activity was alloted its due share of publicity and in accordance with a fixed policy of the paper all the articles were written by the students themselves. From the technical viewpoint the news was accurately covered and reported. Although initiating the year under the editorship of Jean Joyce, at the beginning of the second semester Jack Morris assumed the position. EXECUTIVE STAFF 'PZ' Left to Right: Standing. .........

Aiding in the editorial comment were juniors Bob LeBow and Bill Loftus. The feature columns of page two also attracted a broad clientele. The literary minded found deep satisfaction in Ray Schmandt's variegated Literary Parade: What Not, composed by Tad Krebs received its share of popularity. Seniors and freshmen alike followed Bob Quinlivan's scintillating Trade Winds while the upperclassmen anxiously awaited the Senior Spotlight. Conspicuous on the page was Here 69 There, inaugurated by Jack Lawton. From time to time feature articles on men or movements of special significance were published. On Tom Vitt's fourth page was probably the most highly esteemed article of each edition: Bob Quinlivan's popu- lar Along the Corridors. The sports department, under Editor jack Walsh, convinced the world that the Prep News was truly a newspaper. On three separate occasions the sports staff distinguished itself by its new coverage, which would have given credit to a professional daily. Competently assisting Walsh in editing the third page were senior George Siemers and jim Swetnam, a promising sopho- more.

Indeed, this year in the history of the Bellarmine Debate Society of St. Louis U. High can be rightly called by that name. The year was started off with the return of only two members of last year's Varsity Squad, Glenn Moore and Richard Dempsey. However, after participation in only one debate, Moore left for St. Louis University. The team, at the semester was thus composed of all sophomores and juniors, with the exception of one senior, Festus Krebs. However under the untiring tutelage of Mr. Richard L. Porter, the forensics teams went on to surpass records of previous years. This yearls Dauphins have almost monopolized all honors. They have not only become co-champions in the City League, but have won first place in the Catholic lnter-Scholastic fprepj League. To top this already enviable record, St. Louis U. High bested some of the most able teams in the county by capturing first place at the Webster Groves Debate Tournament. The Public League, while laboring under wartime restrictions, completed a rather curtailed but intensive season. When the results were made known, the Bellarmine Wranglers were tied for the co-championship with McBride, having amassed a total of l l points. On Saturday, February 20, the squad composed of John Padberg and Richard Dempsey of the Affirmative, and William Forrest and William Loftus of the Negative, journeyed to Webster Groves to compete in their annual tourney. Here the Dauphins achieved the success of winning first place by leading the field of nine schools. Two days later, the same teams represented St. Louis U. High at the Prep League Tourna- ment held at South Side Catholic High School. Here another outstanding success was added to the list of honors already won. At this tournament, St. Louis U. High won every one of its five debates, and one of its speakers, Richard Dempsey, merited the well-deserved honor of being judged the outstanding speaker of the Tournament. Page Fifty-six Perhaps one of the most remarkable facts about this year's teams is, that of all the regular members, Dempsey was the only one who had had previousVarsity Debate experience. Federer, Forrest, Krebs, Loftus, Mehan, O'Connell, Ryan, and Swetnam belonged to the Debate Society last year, but had not had much experience, while this year marked the entrance of Padberg into the society, and his subsequent elevation to the Varsity Squad. The question that was so effectively debated by both the Affirmative and Negative this year was Resolved, that a Federal World Government should be established. At the close of the season debate keys were awarded to Dempsey, Federer, Forrest, Loftus, Mehan, O'Connell, Padberg, and Swetnam. The season, then, in retrospect: City League Co-Champions, Prep League Champions, and virtual district champions by reason of the success at the Webster Tournament. An enviable record obtained by originally inexperienced teams at the expense of many of the best debate squads in the city or county. With the return next year of the entire Varsity team except Krebs, who will graduate, and the development of promising new talent, the Bellarmine Debate Society looks forward eagerly to another successful season under the most able direction of its coach, Mr. Richard l...

The team, organized by Mr. Thomas Curry, is the first at St. Louis U. High to represent the school in inter-scholastic elocution contests. The organization was extremely successful in the five tournaments and three dual meets in which the members participated.

MacGregor, Walsh, Schmandt, Collins, Liclcly The activities of the Senior Latin Forum, one of Backer Memorial's oldest classical societies, were somewhat limited this year. its object, as ever, was to acquaint its members with a wide field of Latin literature. The highlight of its undertakings however was the lnterscholastic Latin Contest. Mr. Porter, S. addressed the initial meeting on the history of Rome, but after that the weekly meetings, under the direction of Mr. Van Roo, S. were entirely spent in reading Cicero and in imitating his style in numerous compositions. As a result of this extensive prepara- tion Ray Schmandt placed ninth in the ranking of contestants, while Louis Macgregor merited honorable mention. The Junior Latin Forum, under the moderation of Mr. Haworth, S. engaged ambitiously in the study of the works of a number of classical Latin writers. The members read, during the first semester, Cicero's Pro Archian, in preparation for the lnterscholastic Latin Contestin which they took part. For the first time in the junior Forum's history, the paper of one of its members- -Iohn Scott, was selected among those chosen to represent the school in the contest finals. This promises well for next year's Senior Forum. The weekly meetings in the second semester were spent in reading some of Ovid's works and several selections from the historian Livy.

This organization, under its modera- tor Mr. Eatough, S. quickly developed into one of the major classical societies of the School. Membership in the Agora is limited to the advanced Greek students of fourth year. The purpose of the organization is to develop in its members a wider perspective of Creek literature and to acquaint them with much that they would pass over by simply taking the prescribed course in Greek which is taught in third and fourth years. Meetings are held after school on no definite day, averaging every two weeks. Upon its inception, the members of the Club undertook to read some selections from Herodotus' Wars of Greece and Persia. ln the second semester por- tions of Xenophon's Anabasis which are not taken in class were read. Plans for the future include the translation of part of l'lomer's Iliad. GREEK FORUM Lcfl lo Righl: Schmandt, Reid.

The purpose of the lnternational Relations Club is to discuss and to understand more thoroughly the problems facing the world of today and tomorrow. ln pursuit of this aim, the club has joined the Carnegie Institute of peace and has organized a recognized chapter.

Under the able direction of Mr. Rich- ard Porter, S. an ambitious program of study was outlined which was to include talks by well-informed authorities on relations between the Americas. Always popular Tom Vitt of 4B was chosen Presidentg Luis MacGregor of 4A was elected Secretary, Bob LeBow of 3B was selected as Vice President, Charles Ryan as Librarian, and Bill Loftus and Richard Dempsey as Program assistants. ln the first semester, the general problems of the Hispanic Ameri- can countries were surveyed with special talks on Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, and Columbia. In addition to this, a sizable library of Pan-American material was collected to be used for ref- erence work. The highlights of the semester were the talk by the Mexican consul and the color movies provided by the Mexican con- sulate. Owing to the necessity of curtailment of activities in the school, caused by the departure of several members of the faculty for the MODERATOR Armed Forces, the Pan-American Club was forced to drop all regular meetings in the second semester. However, the organization contin- ued to function privately and through occasional meetings. During both semesters many members attended the Hispanic Americas Fora held monthly at St. Louis University where native Latin Americans explained the customs of their countries. A delegate of the Club was ,.,Q' always present at the central meetings of the St. Louis Council of 1, Q Pan-American Clubs presided over by Mr. Carlos D.

Early in September, l942, the club chose its new official title: Fotoclan. Under the excellent leadership of Mr. james Jelinek, SJ., the club has added such equipment as a new 3'f4 x 4'f4 Solar Enlarger, and, Cwith the aid of Mr. Ring, a high speed lamp was devised giving shutter speed equivalents of If30,000 of a sec. At the beginning of the season, members concentrated upon natural color prints, but later on, they turned their attention to fine photography in black-and-white. As in previous years, several thousand personal Christmas cards were printed and sold. But this year, for the first time, the members produced IOOO Remembrance of First Mass cards for an ordination at Ken- rick Seminary, and while striving for a diffreent type of group picture, the Fotoclan took their own pictures, and composed them into the photomontage seen at the top of the page. ln order to stimulate camera use during the winter months, assignments were made for various topic pictures. Man Bites Dog, Rationed , and This ls War were three assignments that brought interesting results. Page Sixty-five Qiterar Circle Lcfl lo Righl: Slanding ...... Walsh, McNearney, Collins, Morris, Connell, Quinlivan Silling ........ Macc-regor, Vitt, Mulvihill, Krebs, Lidcly The Literary Circle was re-organized early in the spring of '43. Meetings were held every Sunday afternoon in the Student Advisor's room under the capable direction of Father John Divine, SJ. Membership was confined to a limited number of seniors. Contrary to the custom of previous years, no officers were elected and parlimentary procedure was not observed. Open discussions were held under the direction and supervision of the Moderator with active participa- tion by all members. The original purpose of the club was twofold: the discussion of Catholic authors and their works and the improvement of its members' writing ability. This year the aims of the organiza- tion were enlarged to include: the training of Catholic leaders, MODERATOR the study of Catholic Thought, and the cultivation of a Catholic Philosophy of Life. Thus the students' cultural background was broadened and their artistic appreciation developed: while rr,, V at the same time they were given a true Catholic outlook on life. The initial studies were directed to Catholic Journalism. Both its thought content and its popularity were observed. Next, post-war planning was considered in the light of the Catholic principles of Faith and Love. Later discussions brought up many points of interest, including Catholic novels and novelists, and Shakespearian Drama. FR. J. DIVINE. 5.5.

The Association held informal meetings every two weeks at which various problems of the library were discussed. A course in the work of library assistants was taken by all the members in order to make the staff as competent as possible. The various tasks performed by the mem- bers of the Library Club include arranging exhibits, receiving and shelving books, and taking care of the magazine racks. PRESIDENT The library itself has expanded rapidly and undergone num- erous changes. A number of improvements have been made in the reading tables and chairs, the reference shelves have been enlarged, several new magazines have been subscribed to, and a large number of new books have been acquired. Of special and 2 g timely interest are the new technical books, in particular those which have been added to supplement the junior and senior W aeronautics course. The library at Backer l-ligh remains the largest and most complete, and we may well say the most com- petently staffed of all the high school libraries in Missouri.

Besides playing at the numerous football and basketball games, the Band played at the prin- cipal functions of the school. They furnished the music for the weekly graduation ceremonies of the Army Air Force Radio Instruction School at St. Louis University and likewise added color to the St. Louis U. football rally, preparatory to the annual Billiken-Bear football classic. They participated in the Navy Day Parade held in the Fall and in the Holy Name Rally held on the MODERATOR Feast of Christ the King. They were a principal feature at the Freshman Sodality Reception Entertainment on December 8. As a fitting climax to an active season, the band members held a banquet in the cafeteria. On this occasion musical mono- grams were awarded to the members who had served two or more years in the Band. fi Z, The school owes a debt of gratitude to the entire musical organization whose spirit of loyalty and cooperation has made possible excellent music on so many memorable occasions.

Lucas The St. Louis University High School Orchestra, which was established three years ago under the able direction of Mr. Paul Kennedy, has risen to even greater heights during the scholas- tic year of I943. Mr. Elmore Condon, music critic for the St. Louis Star-Times and director of the orchestra, has announced that the number of members has increased by seven boys over that of last year. Today, the High School Orchestra's roster includes I8 members in all. One of the highlights of the past season was a performance at the mid-year commencement-exercises of the Medical and Dental Schools of St. Louis University. Aside from the main orchestra, a few of the more advanced members have formed a swing band, known as the Rhythmizers . This group consists of the following eight young musicians: Harold Meehan, saxophone, clarinetg Joe Kilburg, trumpetg Carl Toenjes, bass violing Paul Joly, piano: Nick Mueller, trumpet, Tom Landholt, tromboneg Emmet Kane, trombone: and Vincent Partsch, drum. The Rhythmizers have played such popular music as: That Old Black Magic, Moonlight Becomes You, and For Me and My Gal, at the Senior-junior parties during the year. Mr. Condon has announced that the orchestra is now preparing to play at the forthcoming commencement ceremonies this May. Every boy is to be greatly commended for his tireless effort and splendid cooperation during the past year. Page Simty-nine Glee Club Lcfl lo Right: Seger, Spencer, Collins.

Most prominent among all the various activities indulged in by this group was the customary Yule Tide caroling. The members that took part in this venture pro- nounced it to be one of the most prosperous ever attempted. Mr. Elnor Condon, music critic of the Star- Times, assumed the status as music director for the society in March. No small credit is due him for his fine work with the group. Among the foremost satellites in the association, Tom Boersig, the star soprano of the vocal- ists, has poured forth his talent on many occasions during the year. Dave Thomas displayed his pianistic ability while the music makers harmonized to the various numbers of the club's reper- toire. This repertoire, to which many fine musical selections have been added throughout the year, includes such musical compositions as ln A Monastery MODERATOR Garden and Brother, Sing Onn by Grieg. These are two fav- orites of the singers which they perform especially well. During the year, the silvery voices of the Glee Club have pleased the musical tastes of many an audience. The group performed at the Boxing Show, the Tin Can Social and at the Sodality Reception entertainment. On many occasions, a small number of singers composed of several members of the Clee Club have sung the Mass in the student chapel. sybian.,-, MR. VAN ACKEREN, 5.5.

Under the able moderation of Brother Robert Sanderson, S. and its experienced Sacristans Joseph Amad and Donald Reed, the society, through its faithful members, has consistently pro- vided servers for daily Mass, Benediction, Way of the Cross, and for other ceremonies which are frequently held in the chapel. With St. john Berchmans as patron and model, the Sacristans carried out the purpose of the organization: namely, to offer serving instructions to those who have a desire to learn but who do not know how to serve. The privilege of membership in the Acolythical Society is extended to the students of the upper as well as to the lower classes. The Rev. l... Gunn, S. is the untiring Student Chaplain.

Cull, S. resuscitated the art of bookmaking at this institution. At first the work was done on a small scale, but now with new and rehabilitated bookbinding tools, the group binds numerous books each week. Some of the instruments were newly purchasedg some were improvised by Mr. Perk, and more were obtained from Father Benoit, S. who formerly operated a bookbindery for the school library. Among the more important of these tools are: the standing press, job backer, punches, cloth cutter, and paddling gorge. MODERATOR This year a larger crew worked for Mr. Cull in his small nook on the second floor, but, as bookbinding is an art, many did not become proficient at it. Therefore the group was reduced con- siderably. The boys learn how to repair the pages of books, re- place old bindings with new ones, and print new titles on the fronts of the books. Each member of the organization must spend at least live hours a week at this occupation. At present Leo Bub, foreman, Bob Flick, Joseph Poisson, Donald Rohmann, Richard Buchanan, Joseph Frank, and Edwin Graham are members. MR. J. CULL, S.j.

Frederick L. Zimmerman gave an en- lightening talk concerning Your Boy and Our School . A Reception and Tea, the purpose of which was to get the Faculty and Parents better acquainted, was held on Cct. l8. Both Fr. Rooney and Fr. Zimmerman spoke. A Dessert Luncheon and Christmas Party was given on December I4, and proved to be a huge success. The Annual Fall and Spring Card Parties were staged on Nov. I8 and Feb. 24, co-chairmen were Mrs. O. l-lolton and Mrs. T. O. McNearney, and Mrs. G. W. Rupp and Mrs. M. L. McCarthy respectively. The purpose of both was to raise money to purchase gym equipment and to establish scholarships. Fr. Robert L.

Each succeeding year brought to the High School a greater appreciation and realization of the splendid work not only planned, but also accomplished by Fathers' Organization of Backer Memorial. When the records are seen, this year's organization in all respects meas- ures up to the high standards set by other Fathers' Clubs. Many successful projects have been carried out during the past year, but one seems to stand out above all. Through the untiring efforts of the Club, financial backing was secured for the completion of what is perhaps one of the most comprehensive systems of Physical Education in any school of the city. Realizing the urgent need for this measure, the fathers set out to provide for it, and that they have done well can be attested by the present system of Physical Education. Certainly the most important activity sponsored by the Club was the annual Fathers-and-Sons Banquet held on Tuesday, February 9, in the High School Gymnasium. The program for this most successful of Banquets was com- posed of several speakers, among whom were Mr. E. T. Sly, as Toastmaster, Rev. Wilfrid lVl. Mallon of St. Louis University, Rev. R. R. Rooney and Rev. F. L. Zimmerman, President and Principal respectively of St. Louis U. High. The Club's Executive Committee, composed of Mr. P. T. Barrett, Mr. V. Boland, Mr. R. T. Stith, lVlr. Wm. Bedford, Mr. S. O'Flynn, Mr. George Gantner, Mr. M. L. Neaf, Mr. N. George, Mr. H. A. Hegeman, lVlr. L. Burke, Mr. C. W. Hilton, Mr. T. O. lVlcNearney, Mr. R. R. Dolan, Mr. L. Monti, Mr. G. Morrisey, Mr. L. Nouss, and Mr. A. G. Eberle deserve much credit for the outstanding success of this year's programs. We, the students of St. Louis U. High School know that we are joined by the faculty when we extend our whole- hearted and sincere thanks to the entire membership of the St. Louis High Club for everything they have done for us during the past year.

Despite the pressure of war and the additional responsibilities that it brought into the lives of all the alumni, both in the armed services and at the home front, the Alumni Association completed another successful scholastic year, since its reorganization over two years ago. Under the self-sacrificing efforts of its President, Mr. Frank Dooling, the other officers and the executive board of administration. the program as outlined last summer was carried through successfully. The first annual Alumni Picnic was held last August at O'Connell's Shack and was attended by over l7O alumni. Much credit for the success of this event must go to the chairmen, Gene Peterman, Frank Hellrung, and Charley l-larvey, who were ably assisted by John Pfeffer, Vince Jennemann, and Vince Schreiber. On December l the first general meeting of the year was held at the High School. On this occasion the service Hag, dedicated to the 6l 5 men who are serving their country, was blessed and dedicated. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Mark Carroll addressed the meeting on the subject of patriotism. The flag was blessed by Rev. Fr. Rooney, Sul., president of the High School. A new milestone was passed in the organization with the appearance of the Alumni News, organ of the association. The first issue was printed in December and the second in April. The News was well received by all the alumni, especially by those in the armed forces. Jerry Simon and Jack Maguire, with the assistance of the editors of the Prep News. prepared the editions. Brooks Chassaing and Frank Dooling secured the advertisements. To honor and perpetuate the memory of Fr. Lawrence Leahy, who was the beloved Director of the Associa- tion for fourteen years, a committee was organized to inaugurate the Alumni Leahy Memorial Scholarship Fund. This committee was formed by George Renard who, upon leaving to become an officer in the Marines, turned over his task to Chairman Frank l-lellrung. It is the hope of the committee that within two or three years a sufficient sum to establish a perpetual scholarship will be obtained. The annual Communion Mass and Breakfast was held on Sunday morning, May 2. The Mass was celebrated by Rev. Fr. Rooney and the Sermon was preached by Rev. Fr. joseph Boland, '3l, who is at present assistant pastor at St. Margaret's Church. Preparatory to the Communion Mass, the second annual Day of Recollection was held on Saturday afternoon and evening, May l. The following members of the executive committee should merit the earnest commendation of the entire associa- tion for their self-sacrificing efforts: Cyril Shutzbach, '24, Gerard James, '24, Ensign Mortimer Flynn, '26, John Parkinson, '27, Joseph Weber, '28, Edward Farrell, '28, Brooks Chassaing, '29, John Finan, '30, Robert Wehner, '30, William Murphy, '31, Bernard Nordmann, '3l , Eugene Peterman, '33, Frank I-lellrung, '33, Frank Fehlig, '35, Vincent Schreiber, '35, Eugene Morganthaler, '36, James McFadden, '37, Phil Lippert, '40, George Renard, '30, and John Pfeffer, '34. Page Seventy-six Sports The purpose of Athletics is not to satisfy an inordinate desire for supremacy, but rather to embody the ideals of good-sportmanship and clean play. With this intention, the Notre Dame Club dedicated a trophy to insure a more complete observance of these fundamental principles. The St. Louis U. High School football team has received this award in acknowledgement of their efforts during the past season to permeate their spirit of competition with these under- lying ideals. This trophy should serve as an incentive to future athletes to perpetuate the same spirit which motivated the ath- letes of l943. Page Seventy-seven arsit Football Left lo Righl: Back Row.. ,....

Hegeman, DeVoto With methodical thoroughness, the '42 Dauphin football squad has made a clean sweep of all the honorary awards offered for outstanding performances on the gridiron this year. Surging unchecked over all Prep League competition, the ambitious Bills ventured among the Public League elevens in search of new conquests. The adventurous O'Reillymen emerged victorious at the season's close, remaining the sole occupants of that enviable niche reserved for the unde- feated. Their superb record merited them, in addition to the Prep League football trophy, also recognition as the top team in the St. Louis district. Seven Billiken gridders won berths on the All-District and All-Prep teams selected by the city newspapers. As a further tribute, the Notre Dame trophy, which each year is awarded by the Notre Dame COACH Club to the outstanding team in this region, was bestowed upon St. Louis U. High. Even statistics clearly show the Blue-White eleveniis superiority, for they rang up 2 l 0 points in their scheduled contests while allowing their opponents a scant 33. But these awards and honors serve not only as an acknowledge- ment of the teamis merit, but they represent, as well, undeniable proofs of Coac -lack O,Reilly's ability as head mentor of the vars' ' oo b uad.

LOUIS 14 - BEAUMONT 6 The Junior Bills proved to be Beaumont's nemesis as they meted out revenge for last year's defeat by walloping the Blue Jackets in their season's opener. The Bills blazed into action early in the Hrst quarter when Donohue climaxed a furious drive by rifling a short pass to Wilson for the initial Dauphin tally. Beaumont, though caught off guard, retaliated as Steger fought his way into the clear and raced for a touchdown. Later, in the third canto, Steger was swamped in his own end zone by the hard charging Blue-White line as he was attempting to punt out of dan- ger, and St. Louis U. I-Iigh garnered its second touchdown. ST. LOUIS 27 - SOUTHWEST 0 The O'Reillymen next tamed the Southwest Long Horns as Donohue, Ed Quirk and Doerr merged their talents to push over four markers. Functioning smoothly, the Billiken offense easily routed the Steers whose defensive efforts were all too ineffective against a fierce second quarter assault. ST. LOUIS 62 - CENTRAL CATHOLIC 0 The Dauphins, in their first Prep encounter, cruised serenely to an overwhelming victory over Central Catholic. The game Pioneers, though fighting hard, allowed touchdown after touch- down to he scored against them. Virtually the entire squad saw action, with Pat Quirk, DeVoto, Donohue, Doerr and Schulte accounting collectively for St. Louis' total count. Page S eventy-nine g et , if 1' T' fe.- 'Y' .

Two of the Bills' markers were scored on passes from Donohue, first to Wilson, then to Finnegan. Donohue also convoyed the oval into pay-dirt for the remaining two touchdowns. Tretter, South Side back, was responsible for both of his team's tallies. ii '.g ST. Louis as-NORMANDY 1 x N-' W The Normandy Vikings were the next to feel the sting of defeat at Junior Billiken hands. In the first hectic half, the Norse-, men stubbornly resisted every Billiken ground assault, but were unable to throw up a suitable defensive screen when the Dauphins unleashed an aerial attack that netted them three touchdowns. Early in the third quarter, Normandy's powerful full-back, Rutherford, plunged through for their only touchdown. But the O'Reilly- men came back to garner two more touch- Q I 9 , 1 ' wiifhww ' J' ' fvyiwzfwfw-an nf I . . i . T downs in the remaining playing time.

A pass from Donohue to Wilson gave St. Louis U. High their third marker, while McBride annexed its last touchdown on a long pass by Shymanski. ST. LOUIS 13 - MAPLEWOOD 7 In their next match, Maplewood threatened to dislodge St. Louis from its berth among the undefeated. A tardy pass attack in the second half almost enabled them to overcome the I3 point lead which the Bills had amassed in the first two cantos when Donohue nailed P.

Their heartening victory gave them their second consecutive Prep crown, and helped make St. Louis U. High's first war-time Home-coming celebration an FR' MICHAEL HINDELANG- SJ' unparalleled success. The Cadets' vaunted pass attack first dashed itself to pieces in futile attempts to penetrate the Bills aerial defense. Then, when they resorted to power plays, they found the Blue-White forward wall equally strong. Jack Wilson, playing his first game in his new position at left half, probed out the flaws in the C det line and capitalized on his knowledge for the rest of the game. Donohue, Wilson, and Pat Quirk appor- tioned the scoring between themselves. , M, 6,1 fix .5 . N Fi . .?f.A.J32 -1-.31 ef. . XY - 5.4 ' Q6 agyil ' Xfir'1. k ' ',. 2 . . , , .1':w,,.Q:.

They lost this game by the score of 7-6. The Bees then lost their last two games by the score of 6-0 to South Side Catholic, and l3-6 to lVlcBride.

Largely responsible for this success were their coaches, Messrs. Eatough and Gallagher, S. The one defeat was a IZ47 loss to St. Mary Magdalens' Boys' Club. Between the halves of the C. B. C.-St. Louis U. High game, Cathedral was trounced 6-0. The other six games were played on Saturday morning at the Mites' field and all resulted in victories for the hosts. All Saints fell, I4-IZ, and was followed by St. Francis, l4-7. St. Rose was steamrollered 34-0 and similar treatment was meted out to St. Rochs by the score of 33-0. St. Cronins lost, l4-0, while the Stix Boys' Club failed to score while receiving a forty point barrage at the hands of the Dyna-mites. A tabulation of the scores shows that the Baby Bills thus amassed l62 points to their opponents' 3l. Those who figured heavily in the playing this season were Kistner and Meyer at ends, Schlafly and Evering at tackles, is Miller and Leritz at guards, Collins at center, Walsh and Clin- fi ger at halfbacks, Weber at quarter, and Crosby at full.

Donohue PREP LEAGUE CHAMPIONS As the basketball seasons crowd close upon one another, the unescapalale conclusion is forced upon St. Louis fans: Coach Jack O'Reilly's uncanny and unquenchable genius for fashioning championship teams out of comparatively raw material lives on untarnished. The proof of this statement lies in the fact that Coach O'Reilly had only two lettermen from last year to serve as a nucleus for the Dauphin squad of '43. Yet, undaunted by this handicap, he produced a team which ost only five matches in twenty-three encounters, won the Prep League trophy and the Normandy Invitational tournament, and advanced to the regionals in state competition. St. Louis U. High's sudden withdrawal from the Prep League after eighteen years of participation could not completely eclipse their triumphs in Prep competition. With a minimum of effort, the belligerent Bills encountered and graced with twin defeats Central Catholic and McBride. But C. B. C. and South Side would not suffer defeat so passively. In their dual contests, each fought with great ferocity, but both were doomed by the Dauphin five's superiority to eventual defeat. In the case of South Side, revenge indeed was sweet, for it was South Side who last year cheated the Billiken basketeers of their second consecutive Prep Championship. COACH JACK O'REILLY Page Eighty-six jim Cullen, Billiken center, and Solari of Beaumont battle for the NORMANDY TOURNEY WINNERS ln the first round of the Normandy Invitational tournament held during the Christmas holi- days, the battling Bills floored Wellston for the total count, and then managed to slip past South- west in the last half of a hotly contested game to gain a 20-I 5 decision. Led by Bill Metz, the Billiken cagers next administered a lusty walloping to Ritenour. But it was Beaumont who loomed menacingly as their final opponent. Already, the Blue-jackets had crushed the Blue-White five in a non-league contest. However, in an unforseen burst of power, the O'Reillymen humbled the mighty to emerge victorious from the Green Championship finals. Soldan, who was corre- spondingly successful in the Red division, later in the season succumbed to the Dauphins and thereby elevated them to the throne of the reigning Normandy Champion. SEEDED FIRST IN SUB-RECIONALS On Feb. 23, the Billiken soft-solers met their first foe in the divisional Sub-Regional tourney held at C. B. C. Evidencing that accuracy and coordination which merited them a top-seeded ranking in the tournament, the St. Louis quintette smothered McBride under a barrage of bas- kets that the Colonaders could neither halt nor duplicate. Clayton wss the next victim of Dau- phin ambitions for the state title. ln the next match, University City rose up in unexpected re- bellion to completely over- whelm the bewildered Bills in the early minutes of play. Although they whittled the margin down to a mere shad- ow, the Backermen were never quite able to jump the gap and take the lead. A last fran- tic attempt to spurt past the Indians fell woefully short, and St. Louis was edged out of a commanding position in the State titular race by a 36--30 score. Nevertheless, progressing on to the regional, the Billi- ken cagers walloped Kirk- wood, 57-35, but dropped out of the competition after a 28-ZZ defeat at the hands of Cleveland. ln recognition of his abil- ity several of the metropolitan newspapers selected Ed Don- ohue as guard on the first All-District live while Bill Metz captured a forward berth on the second team. Donohue also was awarded a position on the All-Prep team chosen by the Prep League ball under the Bluejackets' basket.

Under the guidance of their coach, Mr. James Eatough, the Mites played fourteen games against various parochial teams, winning thirteen and losing one. All games were played at the St. Louis U. High gymnasium. The lone loss was suffered at the hands of St. Anthony's by the score of l6al4. Five stellar players make up the backbone of the team. They include Brengle and Klinger, forwards, R. Walsh, center, and Crosby and Quigley, guards. These players, combined with re- serves Meyer, Young, and Dougherty, rang up most of the 372 points scored against opposing teams.

Missing: Donohue and Wilson. A generous sprinkling of veteran diamond men provided the framework around which Coach Jack O'Reilly fashioned another baseball team, in every way comparable to the Prep Champs of last year. l-lowever, the Bills' ascendancy to the Prep baseball title was disrupted this year, as they cast off all League ties and struck out independently. Their schedule included no Prep teams since it was the decision of the League officials to discard baseball and adopt softball in its stead. Nevertheless, games were arranged with Park's Air College, Harris Teachers College and numerous city-wide high school teams. The pitching staff, the key to a team's success, had an abundance of talent. Senior Bill Holland was one of Coach O'Reilly's most reliable hurlers, while Dick Jasper, Ken Wild, and john Tramelli also experienced considerable action on the mound. The infield, was apportioned between vet- erans. For the fourth year, Bill Curran was stationed at third base and Ed Donohue again cov- ered second. Frank Bergin took over short-stop. Ruddy, O'lVlalley and Finnegan alternated at guarding the right corner of the diamond. Tom Walsh, a consistant slugger, roamed the outfield, L .

Schlafly, Mullen, Man With four veteran net-men returning from last year's squad, the '43 tennis team, coached by Mr. Marcus Haworth, SJ., anticipated another triumphant season in league and non-league competition. But through the intervention of the Prep League officials, their offensive was delayed till spring when it was decided that the Prep League should officially commence their season. Inter- ference was again encountered when repercussions from St. Louis U. High's mid-winter withdrawal from the league forced them to seek practice matches with non-league teams. Ray Mullen, Manion, A. Schlafly, and E. SchlaHy formed the varsity squad.

The purpose of the formation of these two teams was multi- fold. They serve to augment the Physical Education Program by having as their primary aim, physical fitness. These two sports also insure a higher per- centage of student participation in athletics by arousing the active interest of those who otherwise would not benefit by the program of sports. They also provide other desirable effects. They develop poise. self-assurance, deliberate- ness. and a courageous, aggressive spirit. Fr. Hochhaus instructed the aspirants in the technical aspects of these sciences, later arranging several matches in which the results of his efforts were noted. These contests constituted a most interesting addition to many social functions throughout the year. Members of the squad staged exhibition bouts at several Fathers' Club meetings. FR. R.

Thus, the Cheerleaders may justly claim a portion of the glory that accompanies a triumphant year in Athletics. They realized the importance of their task of encouragement, and faithfully they performed it. Under the direction of Mr. Eugene Merello, the membership in this group has swelled to eight active cheerleaders. Each year is represented: Senior-Tom Mulvihill and Glenn Moore: junior-O'Connell and Collins: Sophomore-I-lutchh son. O'Brien and Michel: and Freshman-Young. MANAGERS Essential and undis- pensable is the task of an Athletic manager. How- ever, since it has not en- joyed especial prominence in school activities, its im- portance generally is over- looked by the students. Theirs is the responsibility of supervising the mainte- nance of the equipment used by the various squads. In addition, their assist- ance as general factotums has proved invaluable to the individual coaches.

This however is wholly in accord- ance with the principle of Jesuit education, for it provides for both the mental and physical develop- ment of the student. ln addition to numerous arti- cles of equipment secured for the gymnasium, an extensive and com- plete course, containing varied oh- stacles was erected on the campus.

High, the lntra-mural program expanded to em- brace several new divisions of competition. The customary basketball and soft-ball tourneys were held, but hand-ball and soccer tournaments were also organized. Surprising enough, the winner of the basketball inter-class competition was Freshman B who spurted past Senior E in the final minutes of the playoff to become the first Freshman team to win the tourney since its foundation. HANDBALL CHAMPS The hand-ball contests were limited to Freshmen and Sophomores. Berra of the Freshmen and Genazzi of the Sophomores emerged victorious. Under the direction of Mr. Marcus Haworth, SJ., a Soccer league was also established. It was composed of five teams, with members chosen at random from the four years. However, the advent of the baseball and track seasons p brought the brief though successful tourney to a close. ln spring, Mr. Gallagher, assumed supervision of a soft- ! ball league, with classes from every year participating.
