ROGRESS Ill ADMINISTRATION Archbishop Visits June 9tl1 Commencement, Receives Spiritual Bouquets From Students On Golden Jubilee By CHUCK MAGISTRO When Bishop Hoban addressed the graduating class on June 9, many Seniors were again reminded of the sacrifice the Bishop has made for Catholic Education. We have seen his progressive ideas come to life under the direction of our beloved Pastor. His insistance on the best in education is borne out by an expanded school program, a new stadium, and a re- modeled home economics department. His progressiveness has changed our school HIS GRACE, ARCHBISHOP EDWARD F. HOBAN, Bishop of Cleveland, through whose ef- forts St. Mary's has been established as a Cen- tral school for Akron. from a small parish school to a liourishing Central High. His progressiveness was anticipated in the many interesting events of his life. After his ordination to the priesthood in 1903, he was ritmed Chancellor of Chica- go, the city of his birth. Another promo- tion came when he was made Domestic Prelateg in 1921 he was consecrated Aux- iliary Bishop of Chicago, and in 1937 ap- pointed Bishop of Rockford, Illinois. Upon the death of Archbishop Joseph Schrembs in 1945, Bishop Hoban succeeded to the Cleveland See. Just two years ago he was appointed to the rank of Archbishop by Pope Pius XII. During his work as Bishop of Cleve- land he was stressed culture and Christian Education. Saint Mary's is an outstanding example of this growth. Your Grace . . . ON YOUR GOLDEN .IUBILEE Through the years you have always thought of us. Now on the Golden Jubilee of Your priesthood, we wish to thank You for Your tremendous contributions to reli- gious education, and Your expansion of Catholic facilities, to name only a few while You have been our bishop-a new retreat house, additions to numerous schools and hospitals throughout the diocese, churches and institutions. Yours has always been the pressing care of Christ's church fulfilling the words of St. Paul to be a pattern to your flock -bringing them closer to God. We congratulate You on Your Jubilee and pray that God may give You many years to carry on this program of education in our diocese and grant You the light and strength for the many duties yet to come, to be always pastor to the flock entrusted to you! PASTOR CELEBRATES ORDIHATIOH Fr. Price Aids Yearbook As StuHPhotogrupl1er. Students Honor Colonel 0nFortietl1'Anniversury. By JOSEPH SAFKO On May 17 our beloved pastor cele- brated the fortieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. These forty years have been heralded by an unselfish devotion to the saving of the souls that God has placed in his care. Much of Father's time was spent in the armed forces after which he came directly to St. Mary's. The Colonel brought with him many progressive ideas which have in six short years served to modernize our school program. Through his insistance we are now proudly accredited as a North Central School Our cur11cular activities have been extended and expanded considerably We now have a fully equipped cafeteria a com plete art room and the finest football field in Ohio Several more classrooms includ ing a new business department were com pleted at the beginning of this school year Before Father Price came to us we had only a meager sports program nor could we claim a newspaper or yearbook Now sports are a vital part of our school life we even have a wrestling team Our news paper The Crusader IS a publication of which to be proud as for the yearbook you can see the product We of the Bluebook staff have always known Father as a keen wltted friend His when our spirits were low from mental fatigue or anxiety He d often V1S1t us while we were working 1n the art room Jokmg about the girls hairdos or commenting on the fine Job the stai was doing But he has been more than Just a per sonal friend For two years he has taken and developed almost every picture which appears in out yearbook We doubt that anyone has spent more time or effort toward the success of the Bluebook Everyone in school has at one time or another been the object of his camera whether it be in class pictures or informal shots of dances Without his contr1but1ons REV FR JOHN J PRICE Administrator of school for past seven years has undertaken posi tion of Photographer for the Bluebook and encouragement our yearbook would never be realized. n The Colonel's many interesting ex- periences and hobbies are to a great extent responsible for the perennial usefulness of his personality. The days when he worked for his dad as a waterboyg the t1me when he was a railroad employee - all these pleasant memories remain from the time when he and his father were pals. It is with great joy and gratitude that we, the students of St. lVIary's, raise our voices in hearty congratulation on your fortieth anniversary PASTOR, SCHOOL HEAD . . , - A I . .

EIGHT PRIESTS NDW DN FACULTY Father Wiitreich leaves Akron Parish At Mid-Year By JEAN CUTRONE This year the faculty Was again strengthened by the addition of another priest, Father Wittreich, who was with us only one semester, While the scheduled time of the other priests' classes was in- creased. The subjects they teach the stu- dents include Religion, Latin, 'Sociology and American History. With the addition of the eight priests, St. lVlary's program has been broadened with a stronger re- ligious points of view. We are most grateful to the pastors, who have graciously sacrificed their as- asistants so that they might aid us in the Catholic education of youth. But We are also most thankful to the priests, them- selves, who have given their time so gener- ously in order to teach us the Way to live with God in the World today. FR. JOHN WITTREICH, St. Bernard's, handled Sophomore Religion. His cheer- fulness endeared him to class. l FR. LAWRENCE CAHILL, St. Augus- tine's, new addition to Amercan History staff. His experience and travels make History really live. FR. WARREN WERWAGE fnot picturedb , St. Paul's, has taken the Sophomore Re- ligion for three years. FR. WILLIAM JOHNSON, St. Martha's, teaches the Freshman Religion class. FR. JOHN L. FIALA, St. 'Mary's, is in his fifth year in Junior Religion, First Semes- ter, American History, Senior Sociology, Latin III and IV, Athletic Director to De- cember and Advisor for The Bluebookf' FR. JAMES MCCANN, St. Paul's, brings his cheerful smile into the Freshman Re- ligion class. MR. NED ENDRESS, Head Basketball MISS MARY MORGAN teaches English Coach and Assistant Football Coach, varied I and IIQ French I and II. She also formed his schedule with Commercial Law, United the School's first advanced French Club. States History and Physical Education. TWO NEW TEACHERS ON STAFF Coaches Added To Staff. Miss Morgan Heads French By DICK DONAHUE The lay teachers on our staff are a contribution in skill and know-how to the faculty. Mr. Endress' background in law is beneficial to his classes as well as his skill in testing and teaching. He is noted for his essay type tests while Mr. Kidder was contributed considerably to the school's physical development. Despite his stress on brawn, he still stores an abun- dance of knowledge behind his smiling face. Mr. Zuppke, new assistant football coach, will have a place on the faculty next fall. Mr. Murphy is the teacher most likely to relieve tension in class as anyone will tell you. His timely jokes often set the class in an uproar, but as all good things come to an end, class work resumes promptly. The MISS ALICE 0,NEIL brightens classes of World History and Geography with her captivating smile. S specialist among the group as far as in- structors go is Mrs. Florin. She, like Mr. Kidder and Mr. Endress, teaches physical education. The prim little miss you see rushing through the halls is Miss Morgan trying to reach all her classes. She sees that everything is neat and straight and occasionally puts a few students in their places in a French fashion. Miss Alice O'Neil with her trim coupe is the play-girl and youngest member of the faculty. Next year Mr. Zuppke will give her competition. Although the sisters and priests gain our respect, We give special tribute to the lay teachers who, because they are more family-minded, understand us and our changing moods a little better. We realize also that sometimes we are not as nice to them as We could be. This, then, is a small recompence from the students to our lay teachers who are living examples to us of Catholic Action. Perhaps more than others it is our lay teachers who enable us to bring the beauty of our religious teaching into the practical focus of everyday living. MR. HARRY KIDDER has been Head Coach of football. He also teaches General Math, Economics and Physical Education besides being Freshman Basketball Coach. MR. JOHN MURPHY Head Baseball Coach, Swimming Coach, Wrestling and Football Line Coach, Ping-pong Tournament Direc- tor also teaches Sophomore English. MRS. MARY FLORIN has handled gir1's gym classes for the past three years. Her cheer and discipline are Well appreciated, her wit a charming asset. SISTER GERARD NEW PRINCIPAL Three New Faculty Changes Including Full-Time librarian Contribute Sparkle and Color to Classes By JEAN CUTRONE Four years ago when we walked in as green freshmen, we were very oblivious of our Sister Faculty. But throughout these four years, our eyes have gradually been opened to the light which has clarified to us the dedication of their lives for our education and happiness. It is most evident in the daily work of the Sisters in the school, in their ever willing spirit to forget themselves to help others, in their ever striving efforts to advance our knowledge. Sister Marie Gerard, in her first year as principal, has adapted herself to new ways in a strange school with ready will- ingness. We hope that Mother's anticipa- tions of her first graduating class at Saint Mary's were fulfilled. The seniors will long remember Sisters Anne Frances and Mary Frederick, senior homeroom teachers. Under the direction of Sister Ann Frances the physics, chemistry, mechanical drawing, and drafting classes have grown remarkably and have im- planted scientific minds in the students. The improvement of the science depart- ment is an outgrowth of her work. Sister Mary Frederick, adviser of the school paper and instructor of English eleven and twelve, is convinced that her students will not leave her classes without speaking perfect English. By her invigorat- ing spirit, Sister has instilled English into many Seniors and Juniors as one of their favorite subjects. Development of the commercial de- partment into one of competent efficiency has been the objective of Sister Rosalina. for the past thirteen years. Sister's classes are a Junior homeroom, Shorthand I and II, Transcription, Bookkeeping, Typing and Office Practice. ' To know God and to do His Will well 1S the motto of Sister Marie Gerald, who teaches a Junior homeroom and Religion eleven and twelve. Sister has been the Seniors' preceptor for the past three years. A new member of the faculty this year is Sister Marie Magdalen, Junior home- room teacher and full time librarian. Saint Mary's recent acceptance into the North Central Association required the full-time services of an accredited librarian. Most certainly she directs the hub of all ac- tivity. With the well-balanced menus of Sis- ter Clarissa for the cafeteria, the students receive hearty nourishment at their noon- day meal. Sister Clarissa, a Sophomore homeroom teacher, also sets forth prin- ciples for her students in English 9 and Typing I. We are sure the girls will be grateful for the modern homemaking methods taught by Sister Magdala in the Home Economics class. Sister also instructs the more advanced Home Ec. students in the complexities of dressmaking. Besides this her schedule includes Religion 10 and a Sophomore homeroom. Sister Georglyn has progressed the Band and the Choral in the last three years. Along with these activities her time is also occupied with the teaching of instrumental music. One of the most progressive classes in the school is the Art and Ceramics class of Sister Nazarita. The students in this class appreciate the skill and artistic talent which Sister displays in all her projects. Another addition to St. Mary's faculty this year is Sister Alethea, Sophomore homeroom teacher. She has added new thoughts and ideas to the classes in her busy day which are comprised of Latin I, Algebra I, and English 10. Through the instructions of Sister Benigna, Latin students learn the historic and classic story of Caesar. Her charges also include a Freshman homeroom and Re- ligion I and II. Sister M. Michelle, Freshman home- room teacher, introduces students to the mysteries of Biology and General Science. Because of her fashion of teaching many continue on to a science major. The daily routine of Sister also takes in Religion I. Just about the most complicated and intricate classes of all are Sister Domi- tilla's, especially Trigonometry. Here she prepares the students for future careers, such as engineering and calculating. Sister, a Freshman homeroom preceptor, teaches precision all day in Algebra I and II, Plane and Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry. WELL BALANCED MEALS thoroughly and heartily appreciated by empty stomachs were the work of energetic and hard working dietitians and aids: Mrs. Bodahely, Kolton, Sax, Farley, lfadva and Alloe. Mrs. Rainey was absent when picture was taken. SCHDOI. ADDS NEW CAFETERIA Sister Clarissa Again Heads Staff. Candy Counter Added. Students Praise Mr. Frank Kulton's Fine Work By VIC DANDREA As we become accustomed to the hum- drum routine of everyday school life, we are inclined to take many people for granted. In this category fall the women of the cafeteria. Even though they come in for a lot of kidding about their cooking, the food is really nourishing. Our cafeteria was greatly enhanced over the summer vacation by the acquisi- tion of a great deal of new equipment. Serving ledges, coffee urns, food boxes, and new silverware were all brought in. Because of the added facilities many of the school banquets can now be held in the school with much greater ease than before. The women are to be commended also on their speedy service of the students. After serving approximately three hun- dred grade schoolers in some twenty min- utes, they feed another three hundred and fifty high school students and clean up tables in time for fifth-period class. Previously the extras were limited to sandwiches, cake, rolls, and ice cream. This year, however, pie, potato chips, candy, and pretzels have been added. A new system of issuing meal tickets has also been inaugurated. In past years tickets good for one meal or for the whole week were sold, but these became too cum- bersome. Metal tokens which are more easily handled and which last longer are now being used. By ROBERT ZOLNERZAK Despite Mr. Kulton's wonderful work on the lawn, church and school all through the years, some students like to joke about his job. They often wonder why the win- dows are perpetually open while the snow fliesg but when the sun burns down on Akron, St. Mary's windows and doors are firmly closed. All this is due to the idiosyncracies of our favorite janitor, Frank Kulton. In the winter the radiators are colder than an Arctic seal's belly. Icicles hang from the desk tops, the students clamber around the electric fixtures, when they are on, to get a bit of heat into their frost-bitten fingers. Why are the windows open? Well you see, the temperature in December outside is usually warmer than the December inside, so we open the windows to keep warm in winter. It must be a fact that Mr. Kulton came from the Southern Hemisphere, where May is frigid. because the students can't come within three feet of the radiators or else theyill get broiled. Then Mr. Kulton mali- ciously hides the window openers to keep the heat in. So here are orchids, a fur parka, and a thermos botle of lemonade to Mr. Kulton who roams through these hallowed halls with a cheerful grin on his face and a friendly word for everyone!

Scholars Enioy Recognition Through Prizes And Awards By JEAN CUTRONE Four of the best years of the seniors' lives have come to a closing. What we have accomplished and experienced will play an important role in our future lives. Throughout these four years there have been insignificant incidents and fabulous aEairs, all of which comprise the cherished memories of high school. However, none can compare with those of that illustrious senior year. In the fall, the realization of the title Senior had just dawned and it was the pride of each class member as he began his final year. This term of the year was characteristic of the carefree schoolboy and schoolgirl and the acquiring of class rings, but as time progressed a more serious tone entered the picture. Towards the end of the semester, vocational guidance occupied the interests of the seniors with the counsel of Sisters Ann Frances and Mary Frederick and the Kuder Tests administered by Fa- ther Fiala. The knowledge that future plans for college and business must be made be- came pre-eminent in the mind of each '53 graduate. The annual high school Retreat, which was for many seniors their last, marked the close of the first semester and was instrumental in inspiring resolutions to be kept after leaving St. Mary's. As winter passed and spring arrived, decisions on careers gradually came to be settled after unlimited concentration. The year now mostly spent brought on the gleam of graduation-that most awaited day. But although the prized diploma is so greatly desired, it is just as greatly not desired for it is the key closing the door to our alma mater. It tells us that we have studied and gotten ready and now our chance has come. Our chance for what- our chance to step out into the world as men and women and show it the qualities that a St. Mary education has instilled into us. For four years we have waded through books and digested their contents. But aside from these, little odds and ends that can't be learned from books have also made deep impressions. These are the characteristics which develop staunch men and women out of youthful boys and girls. As our one hundred and ten graduates begin new lives, their fates will lead them into various fields. The question presents itself: Are they prepared to accept and to fulfill the challenge which SMH has offered them. Only time can truly answer this. Let us now take a look at them and their high school records and if by judging from this material we can be presumptuous, then the Class of '53 has new horizons to behold. The pages ahead present our seniors, their achievements, their ambitions and ideals. May their horizons ever widen and bring the sunset of glory to their Alma Mater. Friendships and Memories . . . SENIOR FRIENDLINESS was characteristic of class. Joe Conroy, Peggy Schillinger, and Janet Sandy laugh at a story during lunch period. ART AND ENGINEERING.. . Experiencing a taste of their life ambi- tion in art and mechanical drawing classes are these seniors, who are embarking on a lifelong voyage either as a career or a hobby.

The Missa Recitata on First Friday has been our vocal outlet of unified worship. The Rosary and other forms of prayer teach us to meditate on our actions toward God and our fellow men. By incorporating these works and aids into our super- natural lives we develop our spiritual personalities more fully. Now, as Seniors, we see that without a practical ap- plication of our religion we will fail in our eternal Quest for God.

This retreat is one of the major events in the spiritual life of the students. Given by an able retreat master, Father William A.

S 30 Is Theme Of Conferences tunity for looking over the past and making new resolutions for the future. The Senior class, retracing its steps through high school, will note especially the three days set aside each year for re- treat. They will remember the enthusiastic coaching of Father Thomas Corrigan in their Freshman year, the sound counseling of Father Charles Logue in their Sopho- more year, and the animated prompting of Father Paul Haren in the Junior year. This year, 1953, Father Winchester used as his theme Adore 'til the Gospel, give thanks 'til the bell, ask pardon 'til Communion, then all your wants tell. Besides elaborating on this theme, Fa- ther spoke on Apologetics, the Mass and Holy Communion, the value of the Sacra- ment of Penance, proper Catholic reading, and devotion to the Sacred Heart. - The retreat schedule began with Mass and Holy Communion. Following breakfast in the cafeteria, the students went to home- room for meditation. After the first Con- ference, time was reserved for Stations of the Cross and Rosary. The second confer- ence was followed by lunch. The afternoon schedule included two Conferences, spirit- ual reading and visits to the Blessed Sacra- ment. The day closed with Benediction. Since Retreat is a time for retirement from all worldly amusement, silence was kept for the entire three days. Everyone went to confession and received Holy Com- munion before the Retreat was over, and the Papal Blessing was given by Father Winchester. The students had taken notes from the conferences and from the conclusions formed, they made resolutions for the future.

Throughout the school year, there are general meetings presided over by George Blitz, prefect, Paula Rapp, vice-prefect, and Charles Fargo, secretary. At the first general meeting of the year, several Sodalists who attended the Summer School of Catholic Action gave reports on their impressions. Among those who accompanied the Sodality officers to the S.S.C.A. at the University of Detroit were Sophomores Charlene Herman, Mary Lou Bolanz, Tom Mills and John Neff. All agreed that they enjoyed the variety of classes conducted by such Well-known youth directors as Father Daniel A. Lord, S.J. There were also several social events to add to the pleasure of the group. Since this was the first year Saint Mary's was represented at the S.S.C.A., there is cer- tain to be a larger number attending Cleveland in the summer of 1953.

This is Her third year of traveling, and as everyone can see, she has been a magnificent aid to seniors and their friends, both spiritually and materially. The purpose of the Fatima Virgin de- votion is to petition something from Mary While doing something for Her. In general the request that we seek of Her is peace for the world While We honor Her by the Rosary and Litany. FAMILY TIES ARE STRENGTHENED by the Fatima Rosary brought into the home. Seniors learn devotion to aid them to build future homes of love of God and Virgin Mother. The devotion was originated to in- crease the family Rosary and to induce the family to dedicate themselves to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Her farewell began three years ago as Jim Sandy, and the class of 51 started Her on the Way. Since then She has traveled to homes all over Akron, Moga- dore, Kent, Kenmore, Barberton, and Cuya- hoga Falls, to the homes of such seniors as Mary Ganoe, George Biltz, Lois Gill, Joyce Kellet, Paul Johns, and Ann Kane. At the various homes the Rosary, Litany and dedication to the Sacred Heart are offered for all types of intentions. Take for instance, Paul Oakes' home. That is where members of the football team such as Ralph Ballvvay, Dick Kapper, Paul Johns, John Seibel, Bruce Campbell George Kraft, Dave McCaa, Larry Kouri, and John Ray- mond prayed for a victory over the Irish that afternoon. At Joe Safko's house no special petition was offered, but the theme of this visit was to honor our Queen. Paul lVIaudru and Mary Ann Smith were seen veiling the Virgin in Her velvet blue cape for somebody to take Her to the next house, While John Crano, Bob Zolnerzak and Chuck Magistro looked on. Dick Linn invited a different priest over each of the three nights that the Fatima Statue remained at his home, to lead he and his friends, in the Rosary. At Fatima, our Lady wished everyone to pray and do penance for peace. So this Rosary is open to family and friends. This devotion brings each person closer to the Blessed Virgin. She brings us closer to God in prayer and teaches us the humility of asking Him for favors. Her devotion instructs us to thank Him for the graces that we have received. Without her assist- ance it is a certainty that our Senior year would not have been complete.

STUDENT GDALS SET BY RELIGION Priests Teach Classes. Courses Practiced In Every Day life. Frequent Communion And Mass Stressed By DICK DONAHUE Our Quest for Happiness states that the right way to act toward God is the definition of Religion. How we act toward God now is the way we shall act for the rest of our lives. Our Senior Religion courses have trained us properly. We know what is the right way, now we must act in that manner. As Senior John Crano puts it, We have greatly benefited by the ex- perience received in the past four years of Religion courses. To this we might add that we have barely scratched the surface of Religion. The fruits of our labors will show in our years of rubbing shoulders with the world. , Ahead of us is a profession, a mar- riage, and for some, higher education. All of these phases of life are like the windows of a greenhouse where the buds of our training will shine forth with blooming radiance, how well we pursued our learn- ing will be evident. In life's work, our busi- ness ethics, our relationship with fellow workers, employers or employees, will be symbolic of the kind of education we re- ceived or how well we learned it. Will it be truly Catholic? We have learned God's purpose for marriage. It is, therefore, mandatory that we observe this demand from God and not follow the ways of the modern era. Lastly those who seek higher education should typify the Catholic student doing his best in his studies so that he is ready when his chance comes. Consider how much hinges on the Senior year of Religion. It is our last step- ping stone of religious learning. Through- out high school Religion has been a neces- sity, an essential guide to our life. Senior Bob Zolnerzak brings out the importance when he says, Having spent last year in a public school, I know what it is to go a year without a religion class. It might sound silly, but I actually missed them. I feel that a Catholic High School student has a tremendous spiritual advantage over Public School students. A little advice should be given to the underclassmen, Learn your obligation to God if you learn nothing else, you will need this knowledge all your life. SENIDRS STUDY CASTl CONNUBII Sacramental Dignity Of Marriage And Necessity Of Christian Education Stressed By Father Sullivan By MARY KAY ECKERMAN NOREEN FOLEY With the approach of graduation, the thought uppermost in the mind of a Senior is, What shall I be ? Since upon this de- cision hangs your Whole future happiness, it is of the utmost importance that one be prudent. Under the competent guidance of Father Sullivan, the Seniors received a Well organized course on vocations in general with special emphasis on marriage. The reason for stressing marriage is obvious - the majority will marry and be the mothers and fathers of the future generation. The erroneous views of marriage and its laws held today demand that such a course be given. In our study of religious life we learned the criteria for judging whether or not one is worthy of such a high calling. Many consider the single state an al- ternative for those who are not called to marry or enter religion, forgetting that THE ALTAR OF GOD, where the students come to worship God in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is the scene of other religious activities, such this is a distinct vocation in itself. The section We devoted most of our time to was the chapter on marriage. The seriousness and sacredness of this subject was impressed on the minds of the Seniors by Father Sullivan's strict regulation of silence during class. All phases of marriage were studied in detail. The foundation of this study was the Words of Pope Pius XI in his encyclical on Christian Marriage- Casti Connubii. By bringing the indissol- ubility of the marriage contract, effects and obligations of this contract, purposes and impediments of matrimony into focus, we learned that this is not to be taken lightly. We learned the vices opposed to marriage and their antidotes so that we may be in- strumental in combating them. The Seniors of '53 will long remember this course as each of us follow the paths we have chosen especially Father Sullivan's pet phrases, No Priest No Marriage, and It's the Mass That Matters. as retreats, noon rosaries, and May Crownings. The church was patterned after the Cathedral at Ostia, Italy. 84 social life . . .

Saint Mary's colorful marching band, led brilliantly by our horse-riding Drum Major, Tom Willmott, formed an honor- guard formation for the cars to pass through. Queen Connie looked truly regal in her green flared skirt and black velvet jacket which blended becomingly with the bright yellow and white chrysanthemum pom-poms that were presented to her.

Class precedence, dating, and favoritism were completely forgotten as boys and girls, Seniors and Freshies, beauties and beasts all mixed indiscrimi- nately. The main difficulty of having a dance is the mixing-it-up of the dancers. At most dances, the dated couples dance ex- clusively with each other, and the poor stags who come, usually much more of one sex than the other, don't get a chance at the dance.

The band would start up a polka, and a few die-hard couples would start polkaing in the staid, conservative ballroom manner, but then a few of the boys or a few of the girls would grab their partners around the waist, and see who could kick their noses with their knees first. Seconds later, five or six groups would be legging it around. Other spectators, wanting to join the fun, but not wanting to start a new line, would latch onto the ends of the rapidly growing chorus lines. Soon there were about ten long lines stretching entirely across the floor. For fifteen minutes to a half-hour after a very strenuous kola, there would be a long line at the drinking fountains, ready to get refueled for another kola or, even worse, a Mexican hat dance. Luckily for the floor, the Boosters, sponsors of the dance Cwho feared that at any moment they would have to dash out onto the floor to pick up a mangled body after the meleeb, and the participants, the band had enough sense to play only two hat dances.

Inspired probably by the political actions of the President H. S. T., Harry Kidder really lived up to his namesake's reputa- tion by whipping the team and rooters into a White-hot rage against the Irish.

An enjoyable three-piece band satis- fied everyone with pleasant music. A great many boys and girls made an effort to make this dance as they realized there would be no more joyful whirling and twirling for another six weeks. Seen gay- ly dancing at the affair were: Mary Ann Eberhart and Chuck Ruhlin, Rita Utrup and Roy Hollander, Beverly Frattura and George Biltz, Patty Redmond and Frank Rienzi. As the evening gradually came to an end, one and all tried to make the last dance endless, but as all good things must come to an end the Pre-lenten Mardi Gras concluded. As the couples slowly moved toward the exit the expressions on their face happily told that they had spent a very enjoyable evening. In another six weeks the auditorium would have the same happy couples gliding across the smooth floor. 43 BEWILDERMENT characterizes Charlene Brobst and seriousness Mike Donahue as they make quick get-away from noisy crowd.

FO0TBAll BANQUE1' CLDSES SEASDN Young's Hotel Scene Of Grid Celebration. Teammates Choose Mauclru As Captain, Ballway Most Valuable By GEO. LANG The arduous months of hard practice and rugged games came to an end for the 1952 football squad. It was Thursday night, December 5, when the long awaited hour of the banquet arrived and the members of the team entered the long hall of Young's Hotel. The first course, consisting of fried fish, was placed before them and they dove into it as enthusiastically as they had into the rugged lines of opposing teams during their past season. The main course of chicken, potatoes, beans, a salad and their choice of beverage satisfied hungry appe- tites. The officials of the Booster's Club were also served this taste-tempting meal. This was just a little token of appreciation given to the Boosters for their wonderful sup- port and backing. After a long, but delicious struggle, the team settled down to listen to the talks FATHER FIALA, retiring athletic director, re- views awards while head football coach, Harry Kidder, checks list of Winners. 44 introduced by Mr. Joseph Sutter, Vice President of the Booster Club, who was subbing for the President, Mr. Morey Moler, who was suffering from laryngitis. The first speaker was our Athletic Di- rector, Father Fiala, who gave the team the very sad news that with the permis- sion of Father Price, he was resigning as athletic director. A change in athletic policies finds Father Fiala no longer Athletic Director. Father has held this position for four and one-half years and, due to his tireless ef- fort and constant work, has been a valuable asset in the rebuilding of our sports pro- gram. The next speaker Was our new line coach from New York, Coach Murphy. After a few whimsical remarks, our Head Coach, Harry Kidder, was called upon to make the presentation of trophies to the Senior players: George Kraft, end, Paul Maudru, guard, John Seibel, tackle, Ralph Ballway, guard, Joe Neitz, halfbackg Paul Johns, guard, Bill Cioni, guard, Bruce Campbell, center, Pat Leiby, fullback, Dick Kapper, quarterback 5 Bob Sax, fullbackg Bob Ford, halfbackg four-yeahr men were Kraft and Campbell. Senior George Lang, injured early in Spring practice, received recognition to- gether with William Wehner, who received a broken leg after only one game. Lang likewise received the Senior Boss Man- ager Award. Letters were then awarded to the Junior and Sophomore classes. The trophy for the most valuable player went to the senior guard, Ralph Ballway, and the tro- phy for theteam captain to Paul Maudru. Coach Kidder thanked the team for their fine co-operation throughout the year, and also informed them of a very rough sched- ule for next season. Silence had ruled schedule for next season. Silence had ruled supreme up until the time when Coach Murphy, who had eaten a little too much chicken, lost his balance and fell off his chair. This brought merriment back into the banquet. The final speaker of the occasion was Red Cochran, head football coach of Ak- ron University. Mr. Cochran talked on the benefits of attending our local college, Ak- ron University and the necessity of study- ing while in school. Father Price said a few words and closed with Grace -and the restless team charged out of the dining hall. We were lucky enough to get a few com- 45 FOOTBALL .BANQUET .SPEAKER Kenneth Red Cochran was emphatic in stressing scholas- tic achievement as well as physical development. ments on the quality of the food.

Our modest auditori- um Was so skillfully decorated that one might have easily imagined himself in a Christmas tree forest With silvery stars suspended above. In the Words of Lucy Sprochi, It was real pretty? But the final Whimsical touch to this inanimate beauty was the gay couples, like Tom Mills and Charlene Brobst. Happy twosomes such as Dick Kapper and Lois Gill Waltzed dreamily to the smooth music of Ross Halamay's Orchestra, bringing life to the splendor of the scene. By preference, other couples like Marie Donahue and Eddie J ef- fers paused occasionally on pine surrounded SKIRT FLARING, Margaret Hagan whirls gaily as Charles Miller swings her in step with Ross Halomay's lively music. park benches.

Another spotlight spelled out Annual Junior Snoball Dance on the gym floor. At intermission, Pat Finan, acting as Mr. Give-Away, awarded the many prizes that hardworking juniors had collected for the affair. First prize, a S100 War bond, went to an unforgettable personality, Sis- ter Marie Gerald. Mary Lindish won the second prize, a phonograph donated by the illustrious senior class. Other Winners were: our own Coach Murphy, surprised by a quart of eggnogg Mary Ann Eber- hardt, encouraged by a canister set for her hopeless chest, and Anna Grace Bar- rett, truly stunned by a spaghetti dinner for two at Luigi's--Cshe doesn't like spa- ghettij.

As the orchestra speeded up the tempo, the danc- ers stepped higher and clapped louder, the auditorium ringing with the merriment of such seniors as Ralph Ballway and Connie Weigand. Underclassmen caught in the ever-widening circles were Marion Durkin and Bill Corcrain, who seemed to be having a good time.

DELEGATES ATTEND CUIIVENTION Staff Tours Chicago, Attends Business Meetings: May Kulton, Loretto Mirngliottu Ent In Swank Spots By MAY KULTON It was a blistery Thanksgiving holi- day, November 28 and 29, when several re resentatives of the Bluebook Staff lit p - erally blew into the Windy City of Chi- cago to attend the National Scholastic Press Convention. George Biltz, Joe Safko, Charles Ma- gistro, John Crano, Frank Mungo, Vic Dan- drea, Lee Hinderschied and Jerry Kramer, accompanied by Father Fiala, advisor for the Yearbook, arrived in-Chic-ago by car and bus. May'Kulton and Loretta Mira- gliotta were early arrivers by train, but late in departure, because they found Chi- cago such an interesting place. Headquar- ters for the Staff was the luxurious Conrad Hilton Hotel, that is noted for its hos- pitality to conventions. The N.S.P.A. presented official pro- grams to the delegates, Who came from all parts of the United States, representing school yearbooks and newspapers. These programs listed all the activities and classes for the two-day period. The con- vention Was officially scheduled to begin at 10:06 a.m. after a huge assembly in the Grand Ballroom of the hotel. It took a While for Father Fiala to locate all of his staff members because of the confusion of all the arriving conventioners, and also, because of the immensity of the hotel. Then, when all were together, arrange- ments Were made for each member of the staE to attend certain classes. Some of the classes which the Bluebook stai mem- bers dutifully attended were: A Yearbook Editor Short Course, Planning the Year- book Circulation Campaign, and Preparing Copy for the Engraverf' The biggest ac- tivity of the day was a banquet and dance held on Friday evening in the fabulous ballroom. This presented a good oppor- tunity for the Bluebook representatives to meet some of the other young people at- tending the Convention. We were glad to recognize among the people, some of our friends from St. Vincents and Our Lady WINDY CITY plays host to a group of Yearbook Crano, Chuck Magistro, Vic D'Andrea, Lee Hin- Staff as they participate in their first N.

The convention proved both entertain- ing and educational, as an aid to make this Bluebook the best yet and as an eX- perience in journalistic know-how, coupled with side-line sight-seeing and gourmeting in swank Chicago restaurants. Between sessions there was plenty of time for the group to see the sights and visit the interesting places in Chicago 3 such as, Shedd Aquarium, Historic Buzzy, the Arts and Natural History Museums. Some fellow staE members thought it would be interesting to go sight-seeing from Chi- cago's famous Street-Car Lift, while the girls went to a lecture on stars at Alder Planetarium. Even a visit to Chicago's well-known Marshall Field department store was an adventure in itself. The staff will probably never forget the convention they attended in the city on the shores of Lake Michigan. In all we hope that our Bluebook staff benefited from this by bringing to you in a more professional manner, this memoir of the school year 1952-53. gistro, Frank Mungo, Lee Hinderscheid, Father Fiala, Jerry Kramer, George Biltz and Vic Dandrea. slsnrsmuc . ..

TALENT SHOW DRAWS Fllll HDUSE Band Parents Sponsor St. Patrick Night Program: Student Genius Turns Professional In Amateur Acts DISPLAYING exceptional talent gained Bill Butke full-sounding applause and likewise first prize in student talent contest. By ROBERT ZOLNERZAK Tremendousiimprovement Was shown in the Second Annual Parents night held on Saint Patrick's Day, March 17. Grade and high school students presented their talents for the approval of the packed auditorium. Over four hundred parents in the audience had good reason to be proud of their young uprodigiesf' An amazing array of singers, dancers, and instrumentalists performed their acts and, all smiles, accepted the plaudits of the appreciative spectators. Classical ballet dancers mingled with jazzy minstrel singersg snappy polkas played on a peppy accordion competed with nostalgic old Waltzes on the piano. Sister Genevive was particularly proud of her little first grade duet, which sang How Much is That Doggie in the Window. Record mimics, tap dancers, singing duets, German bands, and sopranos alike bowed and, flushed With success, glided off stage with their heads in the clouds. The closing curtain ended 52 activities on stage, but soon the hall rocked to lively square dances called by Ray Dona- hue. Hundreds of multi-colored balloons were distributed among the dancers, and grade school children paraded around the hall with a dozen balloons trailing behind. Finally the long-awaited grand-prize draw- ing was announced. Numbers of the Win- ners Were announced, a small flurry of activity spread over the audience, Winners announced themselves with shouts of joy. A deep fryer, hams, and baskets of gro- ceries were given away to the lucky ticket holders. Mr. George Biltz, Sr., announced that Parents' Night Would be even better next year.

But nonetheless, the splendid arrangements and the steady beat of the Nite Spotters pro- vided the necessary twittering for the coo- ing twosomes. Strains of familiar music drifted across the room and soon many couples were whirling around the floor. Lent really takes the dancing bug out of your feet, and this occasion saw many couples getting back into the swing of things. Couples treading lightly on one an- other's feet were Paul Oakes and Nancy Mannion, Bob Case and Carolyn Qualtersg Bev Frattura and Tom Nash. Freshmen Bob Gardiner and Carm Warner found it difficult to dance because of the Weight of the jelly beans in their pockets. Chatting and gnawing on carrots during inter- mission were Margie Kuhlik and Chuck Ruhling Dick Donahue and Betty Thomasg Pat Moore and Larry Saalg Jim Murray and Janet Rupp, Tom Wilmott and Rosie Capotosto. Colored balloons festooned the stair- way, a mighty temptation to those affected with balloon-0-mania, a disease which sim- ply won't permit those affected to leave a stray balloon be. Casualties were heavy, many balloons fell in a good cause, making the dancers happy. Sister Clarissa had to tell Betsy Tubbs that she positively could not take a rented chick home. Betsy was broken-hearted. In reality this event is a miniature Easter Parade. Arrayed in Easter finery was Frank Mungo, looking quite sheik in his skipper blue sports jacket with gray flannel trousers, squiring Barb Sullivan whose blue and white checked dress was accented by her red rose corsage. Everyone got a large charge out of Barbara Corall's electric-blue suit, set 05 with a neon cor- sage. Shirley Stasick looked very chic in her yellow dress. This was rather confus- ing for her date as there were many chicks included in the decorations. There is a bird in Akron minus three feathers as a result of George Kraft's new tie. Mary Lou Getzinger, sporting a dandy sunburn, gave everyone the impression that she had been vacationing in Florida, but it was merely due to a snooze under the sun lamp. Also wearing their Easter best were Roy Hol- lander and Janice Heiselmang Margaret Mannion and Gerald Biltzg Charlene Strott- ner and Norman Picard, Rosemary Basone and Jack Stewart. As the last strains of the Nite-Spotters theme died away, the dancing feet went home happy, but Oooooh, so tired!

Winning is not his supreme goal, but teaching the importance of teamwork, and developing his boys mentally and physically is.

Mass, Prayers Begin Daily Schedule By GEORGE LANG The autumn leaves were falling as the Stutz Bearcat for more commonly known as St. Mary's school bush pulled into the scenic setting of that wonderful wilder- ness, Camp Christopher. The rugged camp- ers of the football team gingerly stepped from the bus and put their best foot for- ward, toward a quiet week of dainty foot- ball practice. That first evening was spent in ar- ranging the cabins and setting out the football gear. As the sun rose over the low hanging trees, the team entered the chapel for the 7:30 Mass and Communion. This was fol- lowed by a delicious breakfast Cwhich strangely enough would not seem to stick! . The first morning of rugged practice in the boiling sun proved almost too much for the Crusaders and the ice cold water of the pool never appreciated by any one group of guys more than it was that day. By this time they had built up a large ap- petite, and when the dinner bell rang there wasn't a face missing from the dining hall. A short but very enjoyable rest period followed the noon meal and at its termina- tion the light-hearted crew donned their battle equipment for two more hours of practice. The pool again was preferred be- fore eating. As the evening sun sank in the West CALISTHENICS and practice were held in four daily sessions for a Week at first football camp. Time out for eating, resting and recreation were the Crusaders took to the practice field for the last practice of the day. During this time there had been one rule of the camp that really struck a low blow at the fellows. This was NO PHONE CALLS. But as the bright yellow moon shone on the dark surroundings, the agile forms of the Seniors could be seen sneak- ing down to the main hall where the phone was kept. A few made it while others were not so lucky. This schedule carried on throughout the week until Thursday night when, WARMING UP during a dip in icy waters.

GRIDDERS PLAGUED BY INJURIES Four Players Receive Serious Iniuriesp Buchtel First Team To Cause Misfortune For Crusaders By GEORGE LANG The Crusaders took to the field for their opening game in the role of favorite, but a determined Buchtel team changed this standing. The Crusaders fell behind in the first period when the inspired Griffs went 70 yards on 4 plays with Dick Patter- son reeling off the last 50 yards. In the second quarter the tide turned as the Crusaders recovered a Buchtel fum- ble on the Griffs' 20 yard line. Six plays later Larry Kouri plunged over from the one yard line. Kraft's attempted conver- sion hit the uprights and the score was deadlocked 6-6. In the third quarter the Griffs again struck pay dirt when the Crusaders fum- bled on their own 25 yard line. Dick Ray carried it over and the attempt for the extra point was good as the Griffs took a final lead of 13-6. The Crusaders fought hard in the last quarter as they drove 50 yards to the Buch- tel 8 yard line, Where their last determined thrust was repelled. It was a hard fought game to lose and was the first of their many hard fought and close decision losses of the '53 season. KENMORE FALLS 21-12 The Crusaders evened the Win-Lose column by defeating Kenmore 27-12. In the second quarter the Crusaders intercepted a Kenmore pass on the Cardinals' 12 yard line. Two plays later Kouri struck pay dirt and Kraft's conversion made the score 7-0. Kenmore's passing attack clicked in the second quarter and at half-time they led 12-7 . In the third quarter the Crusaders drove 88 yards and hit pay dirt with Joe Neitz on the end of a 15 yard pass. The conversion was good. In the fourth quarter Kraft intercept- ed a pass and the Crusaders scored for the last time. The conversion was good and the final score read 21-12. Determined line play by Ralph Ball- way, Paul Maudru, and Bill Craig was a great aid to the Crusaders' first victory. CENTRAL STOPS ST.

Dick Kapper once more brought his ST. VINCENT RETAINS CITY PAROCHIAL TITLE Irish Win Annual Buttle By GEO. LANG This was the year! This was the day and hour that every St. Mary's fan had long awaited. The students had put on one of the most enthusiastic demonstrations for an athletic game ever seen in St. Mary's history. Mother Nature was not so en- thused, however, for as Sunday rolled around, she provided an oversized amount of precipitation to turn the Crusaders, field into a mud bath salon. Somehow the Irish did not know any- thing about the determined spirit of the Crusaders, as they were the first to score on a long pass to Larry Fore in the end zone. The conversion was good, making the score 7-0 in favor of our West Hill rivals. Not content with a seven point lead, the Irish took the second half kickof and promptly made the score 13-0. The Cru- saders were oif guard by this offensive thrust of the Irish, but the time had come arm into action, firing a long pass to Joe Nietz, good for 37 yards and a touchdown. The extra point was blocked and the half ended with the Crusaders on top 6-0. The Wildcats came to life in the third quarter, scoring four touchdowns on runs of 90 yards, 5 yards, 45 yards, and 6 yards. The Crusaders made a final effort to over- come the Wildcats. Kapper again uncorked a long pass to George Kraft, who went the rest of the way for a touchdown. Kraft converted and the final score stood 27-13. Kraft broke his wrist in the third quar- ter but he did not realize it until the game was over. This was another example of the great determined spirit of the team throughout the season.

As the fourth quarter started, the Crusaders began to move in the air with the arm of Dick Kapper. A long pass to Rienzi put the ball on the Irish 18. On the next play, Kapper hit Johnny Ray- monds in the end zone and the Crusaders came up with six points. Willie Craig con- verted and added the extra point, which made the score 13-7. The team threatened constantly, but by this time the field had really become treacherous. The ball slid back and forth across the 50 yard line with neither team showing much of an offense. Because of the moisture, both teams' aerial attack had bogged down and the game ended with a last determined pass by Dick Kapper being deflected into the arm of an eager Irish player. The game was hard fought and we were fortunate enough to get a few comments from some of the boys who will be repre- senting us next year. The linemen, Bill Craig, Johnny Raymond, and Dick Data all agreed that the line play was rough, but that it will be a lot rougher next year because Larry Kouri and Frank Rienzi are determined to bust through the large Irish line next year, if there is any kind of good footing. The team was downhearted by the loss, but even more determined to even the score with the Irish in '53. So St. Vincent's beware - as the Cru- saders will be gunning for you next year. MUD . . MUD . .

Returning lettermen who helped make Coach Kidder's job easier Were Larry Kouri and Frank Rienzi in the backiieldg Dave McCaa, Dick Data, John Raymond, Bill Craig, and Jim Englehart supported the line. With at least one year's experience under their belts, they should help the team tremendously in the coming year. As soon as the team reached the field- house after school, they dressed for prac- tice. Then the team assembled on the field and went through their calisthenics and wind sprints to keep themselves in the best of physical condition. The lineman and backiield were then separated for individual practice. A scrimmage completed the day's Work. It was in this scrimmage that player's real value was discovered. The first days of practice proved to be the hardest for the gridders, but after they got into the swing of things, it became easier for them. Some of the days practice would be held in the rain and mud, while on others, the sun would be beating down unmercifully on the determined gridders. Through spring practice, Coach Kidder and his staff know what to expect from each member of his team, and also what to expect in regards to the team's chances for next season and the .seasons to come. BLOCKING-OUT on right side are Dick Data, John Rainey, and John Raymond. Behind them is halfback Larry Kouri. NEXT YEAR'S T-MATES READY FOR ACTION.

By GEORGE BILTZ sPEAKlNc or vALuEs - 5 What are sports doing for our high school students? Are they worth the time that the students devote to them? These are the questions which are constantly being discussed by high school students' parents and teachers. Life demands certain qualities and virtues of a young man who is about to embark on his career. Some of these, such as thinking, increasing your kriowledge, developing your reasoning power, are taught in the classrooms. But do these alone grant to a student the complete education for which a student comes to high school? For a student to have a rounded out education he must know the value of fair play, honesty, hard work, perseverance and team- play. Where, outside of sports, is fair play stressed as it is in sports? Hard work and perseverance are stressed in all sports but particularly in football. Teamwork and com- panionship are constantly drilled into the players. These are valuable assets for a fellow when he goes out to get a job as he will know how to make friends and get along with other workers. In this modern age of production lines, team- work is very important. Sports, likewise, give to every athlete a feeling of importance of doing something worth- while for his school. Besides all these mental and moral attributes, physical education and development are instilled into every individual who participates in any branch of the sports program. Strong, healthy bodies are necessities for successfully fulfilling a job in life. If people will only stop to carefully consider the merits of athletics as compared to their drawbacks, I am sure that the majority of the people will agree to the fact that a well- conducted sports program is very beneficial to the school and the students. 66 COACH...

This game Was a marked improve- ment over the opening game as the team play was better organized and more pre- cise. St. Mary's never possessed a large lead but was in command of the ball game from the start. A flourish of baskets in the final quarter enabled the Crusaders to Win by eleven points, 51-40. George Kraft's 14 points were high for the evening. CRUSADERS TRAVEL SOUTH . . . Dayton Chaminade ended all hopes of the Crusaders for an undefeated season as they handed St. Mary's their first setback. The team left Akron Friday morning after attending a spirited pep rally in the gym. They traveled all day and arrived in Day- ton late Friday afternoon. It was a travel- Worn squad which engaged Chaminade that night. The game was close throughout the first half with St. Mary's maintaining a slight lead. In the second half Dayton went ahead and finished the game with a 12 point lead. St. Mary's was only able to net 19 points to Dayton's 31.

As the Crusaders entered Garfield gym they Were determined to break their 7 game Winning streak. It Was a hard fought, gruelling game as the Crusaders matched the Presidents point for point. The lead changed hands various times throughout the entire game and only when the gun sounded ending the game did the Presidents realize that they were on the large end of a 44-42 game. Kraft and Mau- dru led the scoring for the Crusaders with 12 and 11 points, respectively.

Crusaders Hold Two Consecutive Wins By GEORGE BILTZ The Irish fell easy victim to the ram- paging Crusaders as St. Mary's closed the door on the '53 basketball season. This marked the first time in St. Mary's sports history that they have decisively defeated the Irish. The Crusaders thus retained their parochial basketball supremacy. The first quarter started out as any other championship game with St. Mary's emerging with a two point lead. St. V's came battling back to take a two point lead 27-25 at halftime. The Crusaders' power came to life in the third quarter as they turned on the TEAM PLAY outclasses St. Vincent's. John Ray- mond 123J leaps high to net rebound Crusaders' P. Mannion 1311, George Kraft 1305, Larry Kouri heat and at the end of the third quarter held a seven point lead 43-36. The game turned into a rout as fresh- man, J oe Nemeth, hit with deadly accuracy from all over the court in the final stanza. Senior, Pat Mannion, was the hero of the game as he came through with sterling team play and eighteen points. Joe Nemeth followed with twelve points. George Kraft and Paul Maudru, both seniors playing their last basketball game for St. Mary's, scored ten points each. Both were stalwarts on defense and offense. This game climaxed a season which was full of thrills and dis- appointments. This romp over St. V's was one of its greatest thrills! 1251 and Paul Maudru 1223 look on. Game marks third consecutive win over Fighting Irish in the parochial series. CANTON DEFEATED IN CLOSE 5I-48 VICTORY Maudru Puces Crusaders As the Crusaders met their down- state rivals from Canton they were on the short end of a five game losing streak. The determined Crusaders took the floor. For the first half they played a surprisingly magnificent control game and had a sub- stantial lead when the half ended. Canton was not out of the picture in the second half, for they chopped the Crusaders' com- fortable lead away. The Crusaders forged ahead in the final period and pulled out a 51-48 victory. Paul Maudru led the Cru- saders with 14 points. FIERCE BUCCANEERS WIN . . . As St. Mary's took the floor for their game with Hower they really ran into a determined team. The Crusaders took a first period advantage and after the lead had changed hands many times the half ended with the Buccaneers on top by a slim margin. The second half was nip and tuck until the closing minutes of the last quar- ter, when Hower pulled away. As the game ended Hower was on top by 50-44. Kraft and Kouri were the spark plugs for the de- termined effort. CANTON SOUTH FINDS REVENGE The Southerners avenged last year's defeat as they met the Crusaders on their own court. As the half ended, the Crusad- ers led by one slim point. The final period was closely fought, Canton South revers- ing last year's score by winning 47-41. Pat Mannion paced the Crusaders with 14 points. CRUSADERS FALL TO GRIFFS . . . The Griffs were out to improve their city standing while the Crusaders were trying to get out of their slump. It was a little one-sided in the first half as the Griffs took a 12-point lead. The Crusaders charged back with 13 points to 1 for the Griffs and as the third quarter ended the PAROCHIAL TITLE is clinched by Crusaders in 63-43 victory over Irish, as Kraft-30, attempts to stop St. V's Vargo. Crusaders were back in the game. Buchtel again poured on the steam and as the game ended they were on the large end of a 52-42 score. HAMILTON WINS CLOSE CONTEST . . . The Crusaders again went down to defeat at the hands of the highly touted Hamilton Catholic. It was a hard fought game and the Crusaders were in there fighting all the way. St. Mary's threatened in the third quarter but this rally was quieted down by the Down State Rivals. As the game ended the Crusaders had lost an- other 57-51. Pat Mannion led the Crusad- ers with 13 points. FLASHING COMETS WIN . . .

When we first resumed sports, he coached every sport. Now that our program has been enlarged, he devotes his time entirely to spring and fall football. Coach Kidder is well liked and respected, not only by his football team, but by the entire student body. Keep up the good work, Harry, and never cease to inspire the boys with your outstanding abilities. ' Coach John Murphy made his first appearance around St. Mary's at the foot- ball camp. After playing sports at Man- hattan College he was head coach at a New York Boys' School, then he transferred to Old Trail in Akron. The following year St. Mary's succeeded in obtaining him as line coach. He has been a valuable asset to Coach Kidder in giving the students of St. Mary's a football team to be proud of. Al- though he makes the boys work hard, he is a friend of every football player. South High may be our South Akron Rival, but they really proved themselves the best of friends when the administra- tion allowed Doc Wargo fDrivers Training and Assistant Coachb to help out St. Mary's football team. He was given the position of backiield coach. He tried throughout the year to drive into the thick heads of our backs the know-how that would get them touchdowns. We all wish to thank Doc for the wonderful aid he has given. We will always appreciate the time and efort he put in to help us develop our team.

Their rally fell short, however, as they lost by a score of 56-45.

This was a perfect example of the strange ending of the Cru- saders' remaining games throughout the season. Ending the year with four wins and five losses was not a too impressive record, but the spirit that was present as the Crusaders entered the locker room after their last game was still as high and as strong as it was the first day the team took the practice field. Best of luck in '53, St. Mary's, and let's see an undefeated season: God will it. FOOTBALL CAMP 4 Continued from Page 595 dispensary and a little tape or soothing liniment remedied these instantly. A new face in the coaching staff was that of Mr. Murphy. He proved himself a swell .Toe and made the fellows feel they had always known him. Seriously the camp was a very intent training ground during this week with every man giving everything he had to improve himself physically and bv doing so improving the team itself. The boys worked hard on plays and scrimmage against one of the oldest enemies of man, Mother Nature. No matter how hot it was the boys were still out there giving their all. This week at camp will always hold many wonderful memories for those who participated in it. May St. Mary's have many more football camps and best of luck next year, team!

CAGERS FETED AT SEASON'S END Finul Tussle Comes With Meal At Firestone Clubp Couch Endress' Boys Rewurcled For Fine Seuson's Pluy By WILLIAM SALBER The Firestone Country Club was the scene of the Basketball Banquet this year. The boys received their reward as luscious hunks of chicken were brought out and placed in front of them. After the luscious meal, special tribute was payed to Ed Kouri and Paul Maudru Sr. for their loyalness in helping Coach Ned Endress throughout the season. Fr. Price and Fr. Sullivan gave impressing speeches which held the interest of the Booster Club members, the players and the parents of the players. Special recognition was given to three seniors who had played their last basket- ball game for St. lVlary's. The three were George Kraft, Paul Maudru and Pat Man- mon. Captain George Kraft, a four year letter-man, was leading scorer for the Crusader team this year. He Was the man who would dribble down the middle, fake LAST FAREWELL and tributes were paid to Sen- iors. George Kraft and Pat Mannion review games while Mrs. Mary White, secretary Booster Club, and Mrs. M. F, Moeller look on. 76 his man out and watch two more points rack up on the scoreboard. Not only was he good on offense, but he was great on defense. It was George who would step up to the boys, who ranged four inches over him and block their attempted shot. Another boy who received a lot of credit due him was Pat Red Mannion. Pat was awarded the Most Valuable Player trophy, because of his stunning team play. It was Pat who would spot Kraft driving down the middle or Kouri streaking in from the side of the court. And who else but Pat would stand outside and watch his two handers burn through the net or who would drive through the keyhole and throw one through the ring left-handed for two points. Is it any wonder he was awarded the Most Valuable Player award? Pat will carry St. Mary's Colors to St. Joseph's, Collegeville, Indiana next fall. Paul Maudru was the man who lacked height but made up for it in spirit and fight. Paul pulled some tough games out of the fire for the Crusaders. It was no accident for him to mesh 12 or 16 points for the night. He slipped by the enemy defenders like an eel and laid that ball in for two, but if he couldn't get by them he would fake and arch his two hand set shot, which proved just as deadly in the scoring column. The Banquet ended with the hopes for a better season of veteran material next year. High praise was given to the return- ing men who played so important a part in this season. BIG WHEELS BEHIND TEAM were Mr. Ed Kouri, team scorer, Mr. M. F. Moeller, Booster Club president, and basketball Coach Ned Endress. SWIMMERS, including veterans novices, who worked for an excellent season were: Tom Neff, Tom Smith, John Neff, Norman Picard, Joe Con- roy, Jack Conroy, Bob Nash, Bob Lux, Ray Steinkerchner, and Coach John Murphy.

Former Alumnus Star, Don Gross, Is Aid To Coach Murphy By DON O'SHEA, Freshman St. Mary's team ended the season with a record of four Wins and three losses. The team is headed by co-captains Joe Conroy and Tom Smith. Both men credit their good season to Coach Don Gross and also the backing given by Coach John Murphy. Joe Conroy said The team turned in good comparative times and we had a fairly good season. St. Mary's placed second against the Akron teams in the State Meet, Buchtel took Hrst place. When We were beaten it was by only one or two body lengths and sometimes less than that. St. Mary has defeated St. Vincent's twice and was beaten only by Kent, Western Reserve, and Buch- tel. Each of whom has their own swimming pool. The roughest meet was the one with Buchtel. Tom Smith is St. Mary's one man diving team. Joe Conroy is a four year letter man and Tom Neff is the Freshman contribution to the team. Joe and Tom both agree Neff will make a great swim- ming star if he keeps practicing. Those who journeyed to the State Meet were: Tom Neff, Ray Steinkerchner, Joe Conroy, Tom Smith, and John Bernard Cwho is now in the Air Forcej. They practice at the Fire- stone Clubhouse on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Wednesday nights. The meets are scored as follows: five points for first place, three for second place, and one for third place. Diving is scored with five or six judges who hold numbered cards which are numbered from one to ten. Each time someone dives they hold up the card on which is the number of points he thinks the diver deserves. These points are then taken down and averaged for the diver's score. Next year they hope to have more out for the team. We wish them lots of luck! ST. MARY'S SWIMMING SCHEDULE.. St. Vincent, Akron. Buchtel, Akron. Western Reserve, Hudson. Kent State High.

The grunt and groaners were headed by Captain Dick Woods, with Teddy The Terrible Turk Attala, Jim Muscles Moore and Angelo Paison Caetta. Mr. Murphy stated that Dick Woods is very fast and instrumental in the birth of the wrestling team. Since he had been practic- ing with the Barberton wrestling team, he asked Coach Murphy for permission to start a wrestling team at St. Mary. Teddy Attala is very strong and powerful, and should be pretty good if he gets experience. On Muscles Moore, Mr. Murphy re- marked, No comment! Angelo Caetta is the only experienced wrestler on the team. He formerly wrestled with Cuyahoga Falls High. Captain Woods said if Angelo didn't have a sore arm he would have won the outstanding wrestler award. High school wrestling isn't dangerous because the wrestler is not allowed to use a hammerlock above the belt, full nelson twisting joints or judo. He is allowed to use ju-jitsu. In high school meets, 20 ft. square mats are used. There are no ropes. When the wrestlers get too close to the edge of the mat, they start over in the center of the mat. The mats have a plastic covering so the wrestlers can't receive mat- burns. The scoring of the matches is as follows: 2 points if you throw the opponent, 1 point if he gets up, and 5 points if you pin the opponent, plus the extra points for throws. Coach, Mr. Murphy, also remarked that wrestling is a line conditioner for football and a great body-building sport. It de- velops speed, good footwork, and co- ordination. St. Mary's participated in the City Meet at the Y.M.C.A. on March 7, 1953 and a Barberton boy won the outstanding wrestling award. The grapplers weren't organized until the middle of February and they couldn't establish a schedule. They hope, however, to have a full schedule next year. irst Yeur, Wrestling Is OI SchooI's Maier Sports l YOUNG GRAPPLERS include Rudy Soppi, Dick Woods, Angelo Caetto, rear, Ted Attala, Jim Moore with Coach Murphy. If more students get behind the team its success will continue to grow with the passing years. This is a new sport in St. Mary's his- tory, and few students realize that we even possessed such a team. But with a little publicity it should flare into a popular sport with student backing and a larger par- ticipation on the part of the boys. Good luck in the future, wrestlers, and here's hoping you bring many victories to St. Mary's. l.0MBARDI WINS PING-PDNG TITlE Don Captures School Class B Crown Then Goes On To Place Second In Akron City-Wiole Tournament By VIC DANDREA This year the ping-pong tournament was sponsored by the Akron Board of Recreation in conjunction with the Junior Chamber of Commerce.

The tables were brought to the school near the beginning of March and remained for three weeks. Every noon hour the ques- tion, Who's got the winner could be heard. Evenings after school were spent for the most part in sharpening up for the tournaments. During the week vocational talks were given, the tables were moved to the basement. After eating their lunch, the boys could play until twelve o'c1ock while the girls were attending the talks. Then the girls practiced while the boys were up- stairs. To break up the monotony of keen competition doubles were played. The usual way is to have both members of a team play the entire match. There are two devia- tions however. Some prefer to have indi- viduals play each other until one has three points scored against him. Here his partner takes over. The con- verse of this is to have the individual scor- ing the three points leave the game. Side- lighting the tournaments were daily clashes between George Biltz and Joe Shelly. The former was ineligible because of his age. Virginia J abuiak, Joan W eigand, and Midge Mannion gave a good repre- sentation of the girls as they topped many of the boys. The playoffs were so divided that there were two sections: Class A for sixteen years and under and Class B for fourteen years and under. In the class A division John Raymond took a bracket by victories over Josephine Kramer, Wallace James and Paul Corl 3 but he was defeated in the quarter-finals by Lee Hinderscheid. Tom DeKemper then won over Lee in the semi-finals only to lose to Don Synder who defeated Joe Shelly in the division playod. Don Lombardi took the measure of the best in the Class B section, and Won both the school and city championship. For the latter Don received a handsome trophy. EXPRESSION OF SPIRIT . . .

New Uniforms OI Blue And Gold Adcl'Ro.yal Touch By FRANK MUNGO and JOE SAFKO In the past few years cheerleading has become somewhat of a problem. When a policy change prohibited girl cheerleaders and majorettes, the boys were reluctant to carry on. Last year we saw the foundation of the male cheerleading corps- come about. During this year we pride ourselves in hav- ing one of the finest varsity groups in the city. - At the beginning of the year, during football season, Eddie Soppi took the re- sponsibility of being St. Mary's one and only cheerleader. Later in the season Charles Fargo and Wallace James joined Eddie by adding their talents to this de- partment. After football season was over, Frank Mungo, released from his marching band duties, donated a uniform just in time to complete the group for basketball season. Junior cheerleaders, Charles Fargo and Wallace James' will take command next year since Eddie Soppi and Frank Mango are members of the graduating class. The addition of boy cheerleaders in the sports program has substantiated the need for someone to boost the school spirit. New and peppier cheers were devised and a new technique formulated to try to instill in the students a desire to yell their heads off. Most of the students concede that, al- though the girls might have had more appeal, the boys have the extra strength and vitality needed to give that spark which Hignitesf' The reserve .cheerleaders were Leo Shannon, Paul Krietz and Timothy Fitz- patrick. They used tumbling to liven up their cheers. They spent a good deal of time practicing, so that- they might compete with the Varsiety crew. So a big ' CHEERH to the Reserve cheerleaders who will be our varsity crew in the future. Good Luck boysg we like your spirit.

Ellet Wins Disputecl Semi-Finals 8-7 By GEORGE BILTZ DUGOUT EXPLANATIONS and advice come from Coach Murphy with players George Biltz, Frank Rienzi, Ed Jeffers and Tom DeKemper listening. The crack of horsehide against Wood suddenly brings one to the realization that Spring is sprung and baseball practice has begun. Although Spring football practice was still in session, about thirty candidates reported for the first baseball drills. Be- cause our new coach, John Murphy, Was tied up with football, Joe McElcar took over the job of organizing and fielding a baseball team. The Crusaders are having a tough row to hoe ahead of them. They have a twenty-game schedule to play, plus the tournaments. The feature game of the year Will be a doubleheader with the Irish from St. Vincent on Sunday, May 31. Another doubleheader will be played on Sunday, May 17, with Benedictine and the only night game of the entire season will be played at Cuyahoga Falls on Friday, May 29. The boys are eagerly looking forward to the opening game with a fighting spirit which tends to brood no good for their op- ponents. They have a strong desire to Win and the raw material for turning in a winning season. All they need is practice and experience, which are fundamentals in making a baseball team into a coordinated, smooth working machine. The squad has a quantity of returning lettermen. They include George Kraft at shortstop, and Pitcher Larry Kouri, John Raymond in the infield, Catch Red Mannion, and George Biltz, Paul Maudru and Bob Case in the outfield. Among the newcomers who hold promise for the coming year are Marty Schur at third base, Pitcher Joe Nemeth, Shortstop Dick Prickett, Pitcher Don N auer, Catcher Don Lombardi and Pitcher Jack Stewart. Snow, rain and wet grounds nearly eliminated all pre-season practice and de- layed the opening game two days. Garfield provided the opposition for the re-sched- uled season opener. With Freshman Pitcher Joe Nemeth on the mound, the Crusaders looked great for five innings, but blew up in the sixth inning and Garfield scored ten runs and emerged a 10-1 victor. Their sec- ond league game proved to be more profit- able as they mowed down the West Cow- boys 5-1 behind the brilliant pitching of George Kraft. The Crusaders annexed their second league victory by defeating the Hower Buccaneers 4-0. George Kraft again was the hurler and turned in a neat two- hitter. First place was at stake as the Crusaders took the field for their fourth league game. Joe Nemeth was the victori- ous pitcher as Kenmore pitching was blasted freely. After a long and rain-de- layed game St. Mary's ended the first round of league play in a tie for first place with SENIOR BASEBALL PLAYERS include Paul Maudru, Pat Mannion, Bob Ford, Dick Kapper, Bob Case, George Biltz and George Kraft. Garfield, both teams owning a 3-1 record. The Crusaders then began tournament play, drawing North as their first oppo- nent. The Vikings went down to defeat as Joe Nemeth threw shutout ball at them. The final score was 3-0. Next came Ken- more. This time George Kraft yielded two runs but notched another victory as the Cardinals went down to defeat by a score of 6-2. CATCH RED MANNION hangs on to a fast one breezed over by Pitch Joe Nemeth to fan out a Kenmore player. Crusaders beat their South Akron foe 3-0.

VGLLEY BALL INVADES GYM CLASS As Warm Weather Approaches, Boys Exercise Outdoors. Girls Play Indoor Badminton, Ping-Pong, Basketball By DON O'SHEA On Mondays and Wednesdays in the St. Mary gym, time is taken to provide for the physical education of St. Mary's boys. The first and second periods are taught by Coach Harry Kidder and the remaining are presided over by Coach Ned Endress. Not only is it education but it is a lot of fun besides. The two most liked games in gym are baseball and schuttle Ca modi- fication of basketball with only one basketl. Towards the middle of the year they turned from the aforementioned to tum- bling. Some of the tumblers were so dizzy after four to six continuous somersaults that they could hardly stand up. Some of the boys are trying to see who can get the most points in basketball in the gym classes. Now that warm weather is here, activ- ities have been moved out-of-doors, a move that was welcomed by all concerned. Every Tuesday and Thursday, from the direction of the girls' locker room, comes the sound of raised voices, opening and closing of locker doors, and an occa- sional, Did anyone find an extra gym shoe ? Then it's a mad dash upstairs where the fun begins. Everyone produces a chuckle when she glances at team four, in seventh period where Marian Durkin, team captain, has the girls as straight as can be, and all in the same position. Very neat, Marian. The latest sport the gym classes have undertaken is badminton. The paddles crash and bang, resulting in a smashed fin- ger for Dolores Black. Competition among the teams is strong, especially during a volleyball or badminton game. Along with this spirit of the will to win runs a high pitch of excitement. Under the instruction of Mrs. Florin, the girls receive proper exercise and guid- ance necessary for healthful growth. Be- sides being a source of knowledge, gym classes offer a welcome break in the rigor- ous schedule of classes. COUNCIL CELEBRATES 2ND ORGANIZED YEAR Sponsors Various Proiecis By GEORGE BILTZ Better organization and greater concern towards aiairs were the characteristics of this year's Student Council. The meetings were to be called to order every week on Monday night at 2:40 p.m. by President George Lang. This year has seen a change in Student Council proceedings. The pre- vious Student Council Was primarily in- terested in organizing and composing a charter but changed its course of action to one which pertained to school affairs and activities this year. They have sponsored a sock-hop which was a tremendously suc- cessful venture and have made plans to give St. Mary's a dance With an orchestra after the J unior-Senior banquet. All seniors are to be the guests of the Student Council tlit night. Many school programs such as the paper sale, magazine drive, and tickets for Mom and Dad's Night have been han- dled by the homeroom representatives. The 1952-53 Student Council had functioned as an organization With capable leaders and hard Workers with the school interest as their interest. President George Lang will be replaced by Pat Finan for next year's Student Coun- cil With John Neffas Veep, Bev Frattum as Secretary, and Joe Rach as Treasurer.

We've come a step higher along the ladder of edu- cation. Looking back, it's been the most eventful and exciting year of our school life. Representing our class in an executive capacity were Pat Finan, President, Mary Lou Altweis, Veepg Bev Frattura, Secre- tary, and Jim Englehart, Treasurer. In January we got our feet Wet as far as activities go When We enjoyed a class party at Camp Santa Maria. Records sup- plied the dancing music While the girls fur- nished sandwiches and potato chips in the Way of refreshments. Shortly thereafter, We put on the an- nual Sno-Ball, the first of two big dances sponsored perennially by the Junior Class.

The dance was high-lighted by the Grand March during intermission. Many thought this year's Prom was the finest ever held in St. Mary's, because couples exchanged dances with one another GOOD TIMES a-plenty had at class party by, foreground: James Lindisch, Patricia Carlson, Kathleen Schmidt, Ruth Von Speigel, Janice Heiselman, Sally Rettinger and Albert McGurr.

The purpose of this affair, which was held in the heart and red Carnation dec- orated cafeteria, Was to honor the members of the Band individually. In Band fashion the festivities started off with a bang when the decorations, which were hung on the Wall, dropped to the floor with a thunderous percussion. After the guests had recovered from this scare, Father Price led with Grace. A menu of lightly-browned Southern- fried chicken with creamy mashed pota- toes heaped around the most delicious gravy and garnished with the flavor of DINNER MUSIC is supplied by amplifier while parents of band members prepare tasty meal for their hungry offspring. fresh green peas, was placed before the guests. Near the end of the feast, a Quartet of three 1952 St. Mary's graduates, Gilbert f'Fish Heysen, Tom Deitch, Eddie Ray and a Senior, Eddie Soppi, supplied the guests with soothing barbershop harmony. Among the guest speakers were Mr. Jack Hearns, Director of John Carroll Uni- versity Band and numerous high school bands in the Cleveland district, and also Mr. Witters, Director of Akron University Band. MAIN SPEAKER and honored guest was Mr. Jack Hearns, director of John Carroll University Band, who stressed importance of adult support. Special recognition was given to Di- rector Michael Ross for his Work in mold- ing St. Mary's Band and to Sister Georglyn, Faculty Director. Band members were awarded letters for their excellent service to the school during the football season.

It contributes culture and musical appreciation to the everyday life of the student. For music adds that expressive characteristic of life which cannot be at- tained from the three R's. Directs Choral Ensemble Under the direction of Sister Georglyn, the Choral Club has acquired expression, rhythm, and musical harmony. Since Sep- tember our Choral has progressed to where it now is the pride of St. Mary High School. After weeks of daily practice, its mem- bers first proved their ability at the pres- entation of our Christmas Cantata, The Town of David, under the direction of Mr. Carl Arnold. While the high school 100 POPULAR NUMBERS and classical music were presented by band which turned out a top per- formance. Students and friends came for the eve- furnished the dramatics of the play, the Choral supplied a musical narration. Its next step was its part in the combined Spring Concert of the Band and Choral with John Carroll's Band. Conducted by Mr. Darryl Witters, the Choral held the audience spellbound with its beautiful ren- ditions. We are proud of the recognitions and honor these fine voices have brought to our school.

An arrogant defender of the medieval cavalry defiantly trotted around our battle- ground, decked in a red velvet cape under which protecting chain mail glittered bril- liantly. Our cross-bearing crusader was none other than Drum Major Tom Will- mott, mounted on a spirited charger. His chastising lance foretold of a victorious tournament over our rivals. MR.

Mr. Jack Hearns of John Carroll was Guest Conductor of the combined bands. HEAD WORK FDR MATH STUDENT PROGRESS IS MADE by Math teacher Mr. Harry Kidder as he explains decimals to Freshmen. Mike Adams and Frank Rienzi fadvanced studentsb take time out to exchange remarks. Freshmen Study General Fundamentals ofMutl1 Symbols, Theorems Become Puri of Every-clay Speech By ROBERT ZOLNERZAK From a concise review of the funda- mentals of arithmetic for the Freshman interested in Math to a detailed course of Solid Geometry for Seniors interested in a career in Science or Engineering-everyu thing was included in the Mathematics cur- riculum this year. Freshmen can take either a General Math course or the first step up the ladder of higher mathematics: Elementary Algebra. After getting an idea of the properties of lines and curves in Plane Geometry as Sophomores, Junior students took a year of Advanced Algebra, learning quadratic equations, logarithms, and fundamentals of the slide rule. Finally, as Seniors, students take Trigonometry and Solid Geometry, and there they get a glimpse of the elements of Calculus and Analytical Geometry. Since mathematics is rapidly becoming more and more important in this complex World, it is necessarily being more stressed in the high school. College entrance re- quirements for Math have become stiffer to meet. However, alumni entering various colleges find that they rank highly on their knowledge of mathematics, thanks mostly to the easily-understood teaching methods of Sister Domitilla. Besides Sister Domitilla the Math De- partment teachers are Sister Alethea, in her first year at St. Mary's, and Mr. Harry Kidder, whose classes in General Math are so attractive to students. The classes are so arranged that students may go on into Scientific or Business professions. Four years ago, the Seniors of today used to thumb through the Trigonometry books, Whistle softly, and give up hope of ever learning all those theorems, symbols, and rules, but today the Graduates who majored in Math leave their Trig books behind, proud of their grades and accom- plishments. FRESHMAN MATH STUDENTS listening to Mr. Kidder are, lst row: Bill Thomas, Jack Watson, Leroy Wurm, Ed Zuchak. 2nd row: John Pap- parella, Bob Peters, Bob Reynolds, Bob Scalise, Don Snyder, Sunny Stock. 3rd row: Fred Kirven, Frank Maximovich, Gary Merideth. 102 FULL-TIME LIBRARIAN APPOINTED T0 SCHOOL Magazine Catalogue Added By JEAN CUTRONE The source of all knowledge in a school is the library. There lie the answers to all questions ranging from the translation of a Latin verb to the nuclear fission of the atom. However, books are not only efficient in solving problems, but are many times our transportation into the land of make believe when material objects fail. During this past year, the library has improved greatly under the direction of our new full time librarian, Sister Marie Magdalen. Books on shelves have been sub- classified, and the last few years' period- icals, covering various topics, such as world affairs, sports, art, etc., have been arranged into binders. The number of books has in- creased along with the number of students using the library. The importance of the library is im- measurable. This can be seen by the mem- bership of St. Mary's in the North Central Association, which stipulates the necessary services of a full time librarian. CHECKING CARDS and keeping track of books is one of the jobs student librarians are trained to do. Miriam Wein learns as she checks overdue books.

MESSY FINGERS resulting from early process of making ceramics belong to Elizabeth Jackson, who is aided by Sr. Nazarita, art teacher. ART DEPT. EXPANDED CERAMICS, KllN ADDED Self Expression Developed By CHUCK MAGISTRO If you discuss the place of art in Christian education with Sister Nazarita, you are likely to be told that it has been sorely neglected, or else considered an un- important frill. If you pursue the question, however, it will be found that this is not the case at St. Mary's. Sister Nazarita in the two short years she has been with us, has established a flourishing art depart- ment. Under her competent guidance, stu- dents have had the opportunity to pursue their interests in the creative fields. In line with her theory that art should be a serv- ice to the school, posters have been the center of the year's work. All the aspects of art utilized in this field: printing, de- signing, make them a worthy focal point according to Sister Nazarita, who has grad- uallv developed a great respect for this medium. An illustration of the interesting possibilities that posters lend themselves to is the built up effects that Rosie Capa- tosto achieves with crepe paper and an assortment of buttons and ribbons. Richard Saxon and George Pittinger attempted a papier-mache duplicate of Treasure Island for English class and Elizabeth Jackson did a peacock with Kleenex tissues. Midway in the year the work turned to ceramics, Besides mixing and wedging their own clav to eliminate all air, Carl Mueller and Leo Weakland were successful in blending glazes, a rather difficult process related with chemistry. Carl did a miniature of a blast furnace and submitted it as a science project. Ashtrays were the predominant objets d'art. Janice Richards' tray turned into a rather strange looking bowl during the process. Richard Saxon modeled a Chevrolet which Sister Nazarita glazed a sky blue. One of the most interesting of the units was silk screening, except for cutting and pasting the stencil, it is a relatively simple process. Some of the students who partic- ipated in this medium were Bill Oziomek, Charles Magistro, and James Moore. Dur- ing the Christmas season Nancy Hender- shot and Thomas Somodv did Bethlehem scenes in pastels, after which Sister sprayed 104 the chalk with plastic solution to keep it from smudging. About this same time Vera Ranier, Bob Wehner and Leo Shiplett were fas- cinated by scratchboard, a technique pop- ular with commercial artists. Leo did a forest scene. Bob's picnic grove was un- usual for its black and ivories. Jan Richards did the Christmas cards Mr. Murphy sent the patrons of his sum- mer camp in block print. Some of those drawings you see on the walls of the art room belong to Jim Moore, Leo Dodson, and Carl Mueller. All in all, the art department is one of the busiest in the school. Since moving into its new home, the enrollment has greatly increased. Although primarily com- posed of Freshies, a serious student could profitably spend four years in Art. ENGINEERS BEGIN WORK IN NEWLY-BUILT ROOM Another phase of the arts at St. Mary's is the mechanical drawing class. Some of the future engineers under the guidance of Sister Ann Frances are: Senior George Kraft: Juniors Eddie Jeffers and Norman Picard. Drawings of everything from oil- stone cases to rope sheaves decorate the walls of room 05. Except for a few inex- pensive compasses the majority of the equipment is furnished by the school. Mary Ganoe probably felt like the bird in a gilded cage, as the only girl in a class of fifteen boys. She was bound to be a sensation. In the beginning of the year the ad- vanced students did drawings of the dif- ferent rules of Drafting on Poster board. The desks which are now used by the art class were originally purchased for the Mechanical Drawing class. but like every- thing else in the room, is shared by the two groups. About half way between the vear Sister Ann Francis put up an exhibit of drawings. John Neff did three views of a steel wrench. John Graziers elaborate con- struction of a country cottage attracted a great deal of attention. The doorway to room 5 has always been an appropriate place for exhibits. John Kondiks drawing of a lever Arm as well as Norman Rosses drawing were sam- ples of the work that occupied this place. TECHNIQUE OF SILK SCREENING REAL ART . . .

Cooking,Sewing,TubIeSetting Occupy Home Makers By JUNE HOLLANDER and MARY ANN COFFMAN The buzz of activity coming from the Home Ec. room during second and fifth periods is well justified by the many suc- cessful projects the girls have undertaken. Most recent of these Was Skirt Day, when all freshman girls wore cotton skirts made in class. A very big cheer goes up for Mary Jo Weinman who patiently matched lines and squares in her material until she saw spots before her eyes. The girls are grateful to the Pollard twins, Jean and Joan, who always add a welcome musical note to the fifth period birthday parties held each month. Della Horning, the only sophomore in 5th period, also deserves special mention for playing teacher and taking over a class of thirty-nine freshmen While Sister Mag- dala took care of home room duties. We would like to express delayed sym- pathy here to all the girls in second period who hate to sit through movie after movie, showing the correct way to prepare turkey, chicken, etc. with all the trimmings, just two periods before lunch! NEW ADDITIONS CHANGE HISTORY Father Cahill Discusses American History lnlormally As .Iuniors Find Knowledge Ol America Interesting By MARY ANN EBERHARDT U. S. History classes were taught this year by Rev. John Fiala and Ned Endress. Also teaching this course was a new fac- ulty member, Rev. Lawrence Cahill, assist- ant at St. Augustine's. The classes followed U. S. History from early pioneer days to current times. The amazing growth of the United States from its early infancy to its place as the number one nation of the world made History interesting. Our three instructors each attack this subject from a different point of view. Father Fiala places emphasis on Person- alities That Make Historyf' His belief is that the most knowledge is gained by studying the great men who influenced our nation, and Mr. Endress places his emphasis on the economics, with special attention to the New Deal Policies that have been introduced within recent years. Father Cahill stresses the importance of Current Happenings with the past. He believes that this approach should give the student a better knowledge of the total picture. Barbara Durkin of Mr. Endress' sec- ond period class brings these views: Ralph Vollmer seemed to think that POINT OF HISTORY is disputed by Francis Bar- rett, Chuck Fargo, Bill Hinkle, and Don Grazier, the study of the North Pole was included in the Junior History course by constantly opening the windows in mid-winter and freezing the fair maidens of the class. Aside from this minor detail the history course has proven very educational. The course includes the weekly review of Our Times Newspaper, the study of the past presidents and their successes and fail- ures during their terms, the admittance of the states into the newly-formed Union and the daily problems of the average man. This is Frank Mungo's view of Father Fiala's class: Father Fiala's history course not only covers a history of the United States, but also includes a resume of practically everything else. Psychology, Economics, and even the art of ditch-digging finds its Way into the course some way or another. Little misdemeanors and mishaps always seem to find their way into our class period. Either Pat Leiby is making eyes at some girl or else Larry Pamer is passing Catherine Schrader's shoes and socks around the room. Even with these idiosyncrasies, U. S. History is one of the most instructive and interesting classes of the day. with Fr. Cahill taking the opposite view on a problem of American History.

From microscopic study of organisms students progress to study of human body, its composition and functions. BIOLOGY STUDY REVITALIZED New Aquarium, Kissing Fish Add Interest To Classes As Students Study Complex Plant And Animal life By BETTY MILLER iWhat makes the world go 'round? What makes grass green? What makes you tick? What makes bees buzz? What makes birds fly? These are the perennial questions of the curious Science students. At last in the Biology class we have an op- portunity to explore these mysteries and disprove childish fancies. Sister M. Michelle, Biology teacher, has aided us in this course. Among the ani- mals studied this year Were: our feathered friends, birds, and the underwater type, fish, not to mention countless others. When Joe Shelly and Rosie Basone studied man they were astonished to learn that their hearts were made up of four cham- bers instead of one. One of the many events which took place this year was the Second Annual Science Exhibition in Cleveland. Repre- senting St. Mary's were Midge Mannion, Louise Huber, Donna Geisler, and Mary Ann Finan. Awards were presented to Rosemary Benedict and Joan Paulus for their excellent reproduction of the four senses of the human body. Twenty-five other students received awards to wind up a perfect day at John Carroll, Saturday, March 25, 1953. Future Biology Classes will treasure these priceless projects to use in ex- plaining further the functions of the Ani- mal and Plant Kingdoms. SCIENCE PROJECTS ARE PREPARED FOR EXHIBIT Students Visit Carroll ByJoHNcRANo As we all know, physics is reserved for Seniors. Perhaps this is because Seniors are supposed to be more mature and able to grasp the physical laws with greater understanding. If you ask James Murray, William Salber, or any other Senior physi- cist you will find that physics is definitely a deep subject. That is only to be expected, considering that it attempts to explain light to students obviously in the dark, electricity to boys who put pennies in fuse boxes, and machines to girls who have not yet mastered all the applications of the bobby pin. Occasionally, however, the dawn breaks and such young budding scientists as Eve- lyn Gearhart and Colette Keller can shout Eureka,' with Archimedes. And though STUDYING MAGNETIC attraction of the tele- graph while manipulating apparatus are Tom Montavon and Anna Grace Barrett. we have not discovered the law of specific gravity, we have received, through the magniiicent efforts of Sister Ann Frances, an almost preternatural insight as to the law's effect on the weight of materials in water.

Records And Movies Used In Studies By BARBARA DURKIN The Junior English classes this year have proven to be very interesting. Sister Mary Frederick laid before the Juniors a very interesting and very helpful course, The Study of the Novel. Some of the novels studied were The Scarlet Letter, Ivanhoe, Northwest Passage, Edge of Doom, Ethan Frome, and Ramona There are class discussions after the com- pletion of each book that result in finding out the author's vision and the main theme of the story. Dick Lux had a pretty hard time con- vincing Sister that he knew all the English he needed for what he was planning to do. However, we will never regret burn- ing the midnight oil because we now realize what a great asset good English is in our daily lives. By EVELYN GEARHART Freshman students in English learn such things as the part they are to play in high school, how to converse, correct sen- tence structure, and the use of the library. In the Freshmen literature course they study that great play The Merchant of Venice by William Shakspeare. Among the short stories studied are those dealing with Society, Love of Country, and the Beauty of the World. The improvement of speech, the ele- ments of poetry, being a good listener, and speaking to a group are all subjects covered in the Sophmore year. They also are in- structed on the types of short stories. The 'Tale of Two Cities is taken as typical of the novel. And lastly, they delve into Shake- speare's immortal drama Julius Caesar. l KINEPOSIUM of Juniors-Joseph Padva, Richard Schmidt, Larry Kouri, Donna Wake, Marjorie Kulick, and Carol Hawkins, evaluate selections from American Literature. These panel discus- sions, a refreshing feature of the year's studies, permitted the students to express their opinions. MACBETII FASCIIIATES STUDENTS Shakespeare Comes To life From Senior Textbooks In Midsummer's Night Dream, love's labor lost By ANNA GRACE BARRET Through the efforts of Sister Mary Frederick, Senior English teacher, a door has been opened to the World of stage props and grease paint. The Seniors entered this venture with some apprehension, visualiz- ing boring soliloquies and medieval speech. These fears Were soon banished through a well-mapped course on Shakespeare's Macbeth. The first step was the reading of the play in class with the students taking the individual parts. Several discussions, in which the characters of Lord and Lady CHARACTER STUDIES . . . VARIED PERSONALITIES of Macbeth were portrayed by single actor, Jack Rank, for appre- ciation of Shakespearean drama. Macbeth were thoroughly analyzed, fol- lowed. Records of the more important scenes featuring Judith Anderson and Maurice Evans led to a better understand- ing of the plot. The final touch was the appearance of Mr. Jack Rank's one-man stage production of Macbeth in St. Mary's Auditorium. Al- though the study of the play was under- taken only by the Senior class, the per- formance Was attended by the entire student body. Assisted only by his stage technician, who attended to sound elfects and the placement of props, Mr. Rank skill- fully interpreted the play while simul- taneously changing his voice and costume. This alternation of his appearance was a continual source of amazement to the audi- ence. Backstage the secret of Mr. Rank's change of costumes lay in thirteen straight- back chairs arranged behind the backdrop. On each of the chairs lay an item of stage apparel, perhaps a flaming wig or a flow- ing cape. After making his exit into the wings in the character of Macbeth, Mr. Rank would pass by the chairs, picking up his wig, cape, and headdress while still emoting the lines of Macbeth. He would then emerge from the Wings on the other side of the stage in the guise of MacDuff or Banquo. The performance was one of flawless technique and superb entertain- ment. Next on the agenda was an excursion by members of the Senior Class to Cleve- land to attend a performance of Shake- speare's Midsummer Night's Dream at the Cleveland Playhouse. The production was unusual in that all action took place Without the use of a stage curtain and only the simplest and most necessary pieces of scenery were employed. Comic relief in the clown scene was received most heartily by the audience. editorial . . By Jon sAFKo NEED FOR EXPRESSION . . . Contention in words or argument, this is debating. It is a discussion involving and tempering many vital traits of man's character that might have otherwise lain dormant or run rampant. By constant con- troversy, debating teaches one to subdue his anger while thinking fast enough to refute his opponent's onslaught of com- ments or questions. A student not only learns to think quickly but logically, which is an attribute sorely needed in our unreasonable world. Teamwork is another quality necessary for a debater, for he sel- dom works aloneg his thoughts must con- stantly be synchronized with those of his companion and opponent. Such mutual un- derstanding develops future citizens. In time to come I hope a new subject will be added to our curriculum -a character builder-Debating. JUNIOR TOWN Meeting participants. Outstand- ing in their debating were Robert Zolnerzak, Joe Safko and Chuck Magistro. CIVIC INTERESTS ENCDURIIGED Junior Town Meeting Contestants And l Speak For Democracy Essayists Gain Experience In Debating By JOE SAFKO If someone were to hear our debating team discussing a current problem some Saturday morning on WAKR, they'd never realize the amount of research that went into the preparation for that half hour. For two weeks we drove librarians wild. Daily we delved through encyclopedias, magazines, and pamphlets. Finally all sources of knowledge were exhausted. The first occasion that our amateur group hap- pened to display their talents was the Junior Town Meeting of the Air. Bob Zol- nerzak and Dorothy Sconiers had the negative side of the question, Is the United States tending towards Socialism '? while Charles Magistro and Joe Safko had the affirmative. After the controversy had subsided, the two superior debators iso they tell usb were chosen for further com- 113 petition, these being Bob Zolnerzak and by sheer luck-Joe Safko. We stumbled onto the next round. Our opponents were two hardened professionals from Ellet. But we were fired with a spirit of victoryg so we gallantly attacked the problem, Should Alaska and Hawaii be admitted as states ? This year also found Paula Rapp and Frank Mungo participating in the I Speak For Democracy Contest. Paula succeeded in gaining third place among the stiff com- petition. George Biltz was elected chairman of the Junior Rotary Club of Akron. He had the privilege of conducting a meeting of Rotarians at the Mayflower Hotel Ballroom on May sixth. Someday these same people may run Congress, or even the White House. CRlISADER - NEW SCI'l00I.

By JOE SAFKO There will be a yearbook meeting to- night after school. This has been a famil- iar P.A. announcement throughout the year, but few students ever realize how long those meetings last or the work that was accomplished at them. The hours of concentration, the sweat and anxiety may seem distant qualities of this book of paper and ink, but believe us, they are all there in goodly proportions. Our Bluebook Staf for '53 began in late September when all who wished to be on the staff were called to a meeting. As it happened last year, several ideas were suggested for a theme. Frank Mungo seemed to top them all with a sort of futuristic impressionism in pictures which would introduce each new topic of the book. Everyone on the staff, except pessimistic Charles Magistro and Jerry Kramer, agreed that this was the answer to our worries But that was before C. C. fChicago Con- ventionj. The members of the staff who went will never forget their crazy esca- pades in the Windy City at all hours of the night. Along with the many memories, we brought back the latest ideas for yearbook construction. The result-thirty more pages, many more pictures, with scads of writing and a theme surpassing all others, the school year itself. You might take notice of our new cover which is also a product of this convention. We think it's much more modern. With our theme finally settled, the real work of publishing a yearbook began. Lor- reta Miraglotta will never forget the doors that were slammed in her face when ask- ing fpleading is more like itb for ads to finance this more expensive book, neither will I! Father Fiala, our hard working ad- visor, hoping to fire our spirit of salesman- ship, offered to treat everyone who got a hundred dollars worth of ads or more to a dinner at the Smorgasbord. The members of this elite Hundred Dollar Club are: George Biltz, Jean Cutrone, Loretta Mira- gliotta, Dick Donahue, and Joe Safko. Often we would have meetings, or work periods is more fitting, beginning at six o'clock and lasting till ? . Noisy but industrious Freshman, Don O'Shea, al- Ways seemed to be annoying a hard Work- ing typist, Helen Pappas, at these meetings. We not only got loads of articles written, but a good time Was had While doing it. Someone usually brought a radio and the girls brought food. You really need some nourishment after slaving over a headline so it will have just the right number of letters to fit in a certain space. We thank Sister Nazarita for the use of the art room which usually served as Work shop for our eager crew. As the deadline approached, the Work became more feverish than ever. We thank Sister Rosalina and the business department for the use of her typewriters in this crisis. Everyone on the staff was mentally rushing to complete forgotten articles, captions and headlines. We hope that the student body notices the vast amount of literary work that makes up the book this year, a contribution of all members of the staff. The book was finally completed, but without Father Fiala, there might never have been a book.

CNo casualties, thoughj A conga line fno one knew how to conga, but it's still a lot of funi started up, but the leader had the misfortune to lead the line in an ever-smaller spiral, and it ouickly broke up when the leader simply didn't have anywhere to lead the line. Finally the high point of the dance, the judging of costumes, began. A judging committee comprised of Boosters asked the contestants to circle the hall. Specta- tors tried to foretell the winners as the elaborately garbed contestants vied for at- tention. Joan Paulus, who came as a television set, and Elizabeth Dempsey, loudly shout- ing I Like Ike excited quite a little at- tention: howevvr, William Butke took the five-dollar prize for the best costume. Ar- rayed as a Martian in a black velvet gown with a quiver of peacock plumes on his hip, and an ornate silver helmet on his head, he really deserved the First Prize. Second Prize of four dollars for the most beautiful costume went to Jean Cutrone, glowing in a gold taffeta southern belle's gown. Robert Zolnerzak copped the three dollar Third Prize for the funniest cos- tume with his long white winter under- wear, fastened with a padlock on the after- deck. One of the most puzzling masquer- ades was Sheila Osterman, dressed in a Raggedy Ann costume, who won the Fourth Prize of two dollars for the most original outfit. That was one contest that the losers didn't dispute. Everyone had so much fun that night, they just didn't give a hoot what happened. What a Masquerade Ball! fContinued from Page 307 From this statement: I am from God, out of God, to return to God, everyone realized the significance of our purpose here on earth, and with this thought in mind, went back to the daily duties of their student life with renewed vigor. When in the future, our thoughts wan- der back to our high school days, and when we realize to a greater degree what a great part Religion plays in our life, we shall realize the value of the advice we received and this advice will echo over and over again in our minds.
