Saint Mary's Inter-Parochial High School, formerly called Cathedral Hih School, in her 67 years of existence has Sent forth 2760 graduates, She numbers among her alumni, doctors, lawyers, dentists, teachers, and adminis- trators, She has inspired and instructed hundreds ofGod-fear- ing fathers and mothers who are instilling Christian principles in their homes, She has contributed her share of young men and women to defend her country, Her sons and daughters have played a dramatic and a practical role in church and civic affairs and hers has been the fertile soil where 109 religious vocations have been noted and fostered, To this gallant group of former graduates we wish to dedicate the 1956 Cathedral, We dedicate it with the prayer that future graduates of Saint Mary's willsee their day dreams of leadership, successful life, and Christian nobility develop into realities as yours have done and that we may add as glorious pages to the entries of Eternity as you our former graduates have done, it PM 'I .

BUTLER On the 15th day of October, 1955, a Requiem High Mass was offered in Saint Mary's Cathedral for the deceased Monsignor Butler. His Excellency Bishop Mark K. Carroll officiated at the service and the students of Saint Mary's were present to offer their prayers with the clergy and the laity for the repose of the soul of this outstanding Church Dignitary. The untold good the beloved Monsignor Butler did for the students and for our school will not soon be forgotten. We re-echo the words of our Principal Sister Laura, 'He was the best friend a school ever had. , We are honored to pay tribute to Monsignor Butler 'who sacrificed so graciously and gratuitously for the students of Saint Mary's. n F 's -QW REV.

The close of this school year marks I8 years of service at St. Mary's. Sister spent the first IO years as a professor in our classrooms and the past eight as principal . She holds a bachelor of arts degree conferred by Marymount College of Salina, Kansas, and a master of arts degree from the University of Notre Dame. At present Sister Laura is working on her doctorate at Fordham University. Sister Laura planned our well-equipped library.

She introduced the student council, has been active in P.,T.A. proiects and has been the drive behind various school organizations.

The seniors' four year cruise has ended, Their journey across the sea of secondary endeavor was quitea plunge from the known into the unknown, It was peopled with its dragons of fear and its vultures of despair as well as with its mermaids of spiritual, social, curricular and extra-curricular activities, The first league, the freshman year, was breath-taking and some did not persevere, although four years later 137 did arrive at the shore to receive their Alma Mater's and their Master's reward for work well done, High light of the first year was attending the first school operetta, -'Ile Student Prince, During the second part of the journey some were elated by being asked to participate in the junior vaudeville show, Scholastic and athletic marks became the uppermost goal of these stalwart sea folk as they grew accustomed to high school life in the third part of their journey, Now they not only attended, but also participated in the operetta, New Moon, Jon Al Blubaugh and Dollie Orth played the leading roles in this spectacle, They organized a vaudeville show for the purpose of filling the class coffers to finance the junior-senior banquet and prom, For an assured safe landing for themselves andothersfor the school year 1955-56, S. B.A. president Jim Lohkamp took over as pilot, Bill Jochems was judge and Gerald Brazil was clerk of the High School Traffic Court, Senior stars shone in the successful football season of a 6-1-1 record, Of course they were backed all the way by a wildly cheering student body led by the senior cheerleaders Paul Qrinn, Bert Holland, Gene Propp, Beverly Becker, Lou Ridder, Mary bou Stanley, and Pat Routon, Marilyn Young was crowned Homecoming Queen. Jon Al Blubaugh gained prominence when he won the I speak for Democracy contest both in the school and in Sedgwick county, A group of joumalistic-minded seniors acted as editor, business manager, sports writers, and page editors in the All American rated Spotlight. Seniors played a major role in the basketball season's fine record, Of the ten clubs in the school, seven were steered by seniors, Jack Hollingsworth took dual command of the Sodality and of the bettermen's Club, Marilyn Young presided over the Girls' Club, Mike Peddecord, a Thespian, was president of the Dramatics Club, Jim Lohkamp ruled the S, B.A, and Dick Miller headed the Publicity Club. The Radio Club had all seniors on its roster. An outstanding senior achievement was the recording of this year's events through the 1956 Cathedral, This memorial's editor was Marc Romlne and the assistant editor was Frankie Stompg Jack Malone and Paul Quinn were the business managersg and Gerald Brazil and Pat Malone were the photographers, The seniors occupied the four staterooms on the south end of the third floor, and their sponsors Sister M. Louise, Sister M. Evelyn, Sister M, Veronica and Miss Alice Sinclair assisted with the smooth sailing of the senior vessel, The high school cmise came to a happy end socially with the junior-senior banquet and prom, and educationally with the i.mpressive graduation exercises, It was a delightful trip and the good ship, St, Mary, led them on a straight way to their destination--a diploma and A richer life on earth and higher place in heaven, we pray, IN fQ gp. di 1 - 1 ,,,...n 1 TERRANCE L.

Thatremains to be seenl But as leastin the closing days of 1956 the iunior class numbered fifty girls and eighty-one boys. They enlivened with their zeal and zest homerooms 201, 302, 303, and 422. Sisters Germaine, Celeste, Geraldine and Luciano served as the sponsors who guided these human dynamos through their many big and successful projects. Key among these were the banquet and prom and the money-making events leading up to them. lt was truly a busy yearl This year saw Bob Nelson on the senior-monopoly cheerleading roster and A. J. Gegan as state Sodality president. Walter Owen, Don Wilson, and John Foley sponsored their own teenage T.V. program. They played their sports role well, too. Dick Peppard, Phil Von Feldt, Allen Lewis and Jim Weldon rated varsity in football. Lewis, Paul Dugan and Byron Parker starred in basketball. School dramatics profited by the talents of Walter Owen, who directed the one-act, Seeds of Su 'cion and from the acting ability of John Parks, Marilyn Grove, Susan Cody, Don Wilson, Theresa Schenk, Susie Cooke Glen Cunningham, Diane Forsythe, Rosemary Haas, Isabel Klausner, John Foley, Delores Schmitz, and Jackie Whitacre. Without the behind-screens assistance of Betty Ladd, Carol Chadd, Carolyn Bauer, Kathleen Stavely, Carolyn Moriconi and their helper, Lute SODQ could not have been the delightful erformance that itwasp and A.J. Geganwasauthentic-looking as the Bisl1OP in Qhe Red Rose. The true talents of the class came to the fore in their vauderville show. This year was such a busy one for the iuniors that the outstanding changes the occasioned in the school setup has almost been forgotten. Upon theirarrival three years ago, the school officials and the S.B.A. members took one look and decided that a new system of grading citizenship would be inaugurated. The famous card system was abolished in favor ofa citizenship arade from the teacher of each class to be averaged by the homeroom teacher. From now on billfolds lost their raison d' 8tre as faras students of St. Mar 'swere concerned. Formerly, even without money, one still had need of a cowhide, hand-tooled, hand-laced billfold to ensconce the precious cards. Juniors and their successors will never know what they missedl Judging from past records, if St. Mary's helm is left in the hands of this class, the present Cathedral daydreams of faculty and students alike will become realities in the fonn of spiritual, educational and social successes.

President Bob Donnelly, , . , Treasurer Jim Wright ....... Secretary The dubious honor of being the first freshmen to enter St. Mary's as an all men's crew went to the sophomores. Many times they were ina real dilema and to makematters worse had no girls to lean on. The worst problem was-- who were they going to put onthe honor rolll But they found some trusty souls who volunteered to endure con- centration, home work, fewer shows, and less radio and T.V. and work up to it. And they did--noblyl During the sophomore year the pieces of the high school puzzle fell very naturally into place. Many even braved society and had dates for Fantasy in Frost , the Christmas holidays prom. Sports became a major part of their lives. Ed Wiesen letfer in football and Tim Hurley played varsity in the Derby game and manoeuvred a touch- down for St. Mary's. Jim O'Donnellalso preferred football while Gary Grove leaned toward golf. Tim Hurley, Jerry Boyd, Larry Shellenberger, Jim O'Donnell, and Dwain Martens did their bestfor the sophomore basketball team. Jim Wright, Gary Smith, Tim Hurley, Mike Robertson, and Bill Grimm merited the footlights in Lute Song. The sophomores were noisy and were often at the bottom ofdisturbances in the cafeteria and weremengl suspected whenever something out of the ordinary occurred for there was nothing slow about this group. They investigated at different times the scientific realms of sulfur fuses, firecrackers, cherry bombs, bulldogs, two inchers and torpedoes--or so they informed us. However, there was one place that one found more sophomores than any other group in school and that was at the altar. They were the most faithful group of altar boys--and they took a real pride in serving. The Senior boys didn't know just what they were unearthing in the realm of talent when they challenged the sophs toan assembly. Steered along bymanager Bill Grimm, they took up the challenge and came upwith rollicking 30 minutes of fun. Liberace Eggleston could hardly keep pace with the skill of Don Tucker on the guitar. Next their ambition prompted them to sponsor a dance so that the treasurer of the class could have a little experience handling money. Won't next year's iunior sponsors be glad to hear this. Sister Bonaventure, Sister Walburga, and Mr. Bachrodt were the lucky sponsors for these effervescent sophomores. They will make a peppy group of upperclassmen next yearl r3l J A it 1 Mark A.

Sounds dull? Not veryl One-hundred-sixteen parcels of atomic energy had no difficulty in making themselves heard and felt. Although they seem overly confident now, last September they didn't know quite what to expect. They tingled with day dreams of initiation, for they had heard that its gruesomeness would be as inevi- table as its presence. Too, they cringed at the idea of being the youngest in the family after having held sway their last year in grade school. The chang- ing ofclasses each time the bell rang--which seem- ed every ten minutes at first--, climbing unfathom- able numbers of stairs, and doing volumes of home- work as well as being able to participate in many outside activities were the greatestdifferences be- tween grade school and high school. As these youngest members of the Shamrock Family pushed their roots more deepl into the fer- tile soil of spiritual and intellectual, opportunity, they found themselves drinking in long draughts of school spirit as well as knowledge--that spirit of each class and each member giving the all to fur- ther the name and glory of St. Mary's. Initiation will ever be a memory. It was funny to those not called to the fore and humiliating, perhaps, to those summoned. But funny or humiliat- ing, these H6 hopes of St. Mary'swould not have felt a part of the whole without it. K 'I' 'I ta -in NL M Q' wx. M- FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS John Wintrol ......

I Robin Foley yells, All-aboard , to on Irish tackler who mounts a Pratt Greenback. The game ended in a 20-20 deadlock. The St, Mary's Sharnrocks labeled the 1955 grid campaign as one of the most suc- cessful in the history ofthe school, as they posteda sterling 6-1-1 mark, After recover- ing from a ba d start, the Irish emerged victorious in six straight encounters while dis- playing stellar form both offensively and defensively. The Pratt Greenbacks proved a worthy opening foe, as they fought to a 20-20 dead- lock with the visiting Shams, North High's Redskins then caught the Smips napping with- in the friendly confines of Lawrence Stadium and sped to a 42-13 decision. 1 From this point on, the Rocks were unconquerable, Meeting an undefeated flock of Augusta Orioles in Old Schocker Sta d ium , St, Mary's put on a last minute goal-line stand to salvage a 12-6 victory. The Hays Cadets then fell from the ranks of the un- beaten, as the rejuvenated Knollamen handed the military mena 13-6 lacing, Coffey- ville, hosting the rampaging Irish, absorbed a 7-0 defeat, The Shamrocks won their sec- ond straight road game, as they outlasted Hayden of Topeka by an 18-'I margin. Homecoming festivities filled the air at Old Shocker Stadium, as the Rocks trounced their counterparts, St, Mary's of the Plains, by a 32-0 count, The highly success ful football season was brought toa close at Derby where St, Mary's ran wild over the home- standing Panthers, 45-13. Football has seen its last season at St, Mary's, Kaupaun Memorial High School will soon be attempting to maintain the high athletic standard set by their predecessors, the athletes of St, Mary's, The coaching staff should be congratulated on their fine job of t utorin g , which ranked the Irish 14th among the high school teams of the state. St, Mary's will not soon be forgotten by sports-minded fans of Central Kansas. Dick Pepparcl Junior-Guard aria' A . I --'f ac, . 41917 'sr 44 11 x 'il 1,6 95-'J ,pi q Q - B- JP' r f' '17--4-'A , 4.

Riddled by graduation losses and early season injuries, the Rocks retaliated by winning 13 of their last 16 ball ames, Included in this streak were twin-wins over Marquette, St, glohn's of Winfield, Casia Hall, Derby, and El Dorado. Only once did the Shams taste defeat on their home hardwoods, when the hot-shooting Augusta Orioles triumphed over coach Herm Bachrodt's basketeers. The Irish journey to Chilocco for the opening tilt of the season, and inflicted a 34-30 loss on the home-standing ndians. The Rocks' first hometgame proved disastrous for the Shams, with Augusta wind- ing up on e long endof a 76-55 count. After losing to Enid 51-41, the Rocks began to roll, Jack Hollingsworth, stellar guard, who had been sidelined with a broken bone in his right foot, sparked the at- tack as the Irish whipped Marquette 77-44, and edged Aulgusta 64-62. In the opening round of the West High Invitational ournament, El Dorado fell prey to the Downtowners bg' a 53-32 margin, but the host Pioneers edged the Catholic quintet O-47 in the championship contest. From this int, coach Herm Bachrodt's crew finished re ular season play witgrqbut a loss. Chilocco was a 71-56 victim of, the Eish, who then dealt St. Iohn's of Winfield a 55-22 defeat, The Rocks, playing at Wichita Universiiys mammoth fieldhouse, gained revenge or an earlier defeat by e ging out a 49-43 decision over Eni . Treking to the Sooner State for the third and last time, the Shams triumg ed over Cascia Hall 46-35, and bombarded Marquette 68- 43. T e Irish then took their third straight road game as they trounced St. John's of Winfield, 89-39. After beating Derby 75-56 and Cascia Hall 71-45. the Shamrock roundballers ended regular season play by taking the measure of the Derby Panthers for the second time in eight days, beating the suburban boys 74-46, In the opening game of the Newton Regionals, the Shamrocks dropped El Dorado from tournament play 57-43. In the second round the hosts, Newton, edged the Irish 41-43, The final game ended in disastor, as cross town rivals, North, won 60-72, Intramural Basketball Champians ,Ml .- '..r cpu 1 if M- Pt f--fx Pictured above are the champions of the Intramural Basketball league, The Kremlin Gremlins.
