Published by The Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty -Five JERRY ROEDER Co-Editor DONALD FLECK Co-Editor SOUTH SIDE CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL SAINT LOUIS, MISSOURI STAFF Robert Amesbury Donald Fleck Richard Jones Robert Reis Clarence Reker William Robert Jerry Roeder Joseph Ruzicka Arthur Siems FOREWORD On the eve of leaving the halls of South Side as shidents, the memories and happenings of the past four years ore still vivid and fresh. In years to come, vvhen time has worn av oy these memories into a faint souvenir, then we, the class of ' 45, hope to recall the events of those happy years. It is with this in mind that the staff of the GREEN AND WHITE has compiled the record of their senior year in word and picture. THEME Fundamentally, the Catholic High School aims to develop the religious and moral character of the Catholic young boy entrusted to its core. South Side, like any other Catholic school in America, has ever maintained that end in mind. But it has gone further. It purposed and has succeeded in forming not only the ideal Catholic young man, but also in developing the youth of today intellechjally, culturally and physically. In these few pages, the Green and White endeavors to show how the entire boy is developed m a typical Catholic high school of America. CONTENTS Faculty Graduates Underclasses Activities Sports Patrons [3 Bro. Vincent Brand, S. M. Bro. William Schneider, S. M. DEDICATION The ideal American can only be formed in a Catholic High School. Twenty-five years ago Brother Vincent Brand and Brother William Schneider, two typical American boys, realizing the benefits accruing from a Catholic education decided to dedicate their lives to the service of youth under the banner of Mary. On this happy occasion we, the class of ' 45 dedicate the GREEN AND WHITE to these two men, and wish them continued success in their work as Catholic educators of the ideal American men of tomorrow. [4: FfiCULTY His Excellency Archbishop John J . Clennon With religious indifference so rampant throughout America, our beloved Archbishop has struck at the root of the evil by furthering the religious education of the youth of St. Louis, through his diocesan system of intellectual development. South Side students are deeply grateful to him for persevering efforts in this line and assure him of their future cooperation in his post-war school building program for the Catholics of the archdiocese. They are thankful that God has granted him sixty years of fruitful service as an ambassador of Christ, and they wish him many years of continued interest and zeal for his flock, and South Side in particular. 6] Monsignor ALFRED G. THOMPSON Superin tenden t The St. Louis Catholic High School Asso- ciation is very fortunate in having Monsignor Thompson as its administrator. His efforts in enlarging and modernizing Catholic High Schools of the city will be fully realized in the erection of the six new Post- War High Schools. Eight years of loyal service to Catholic Students merits reward to him. FATHER JAMES E. HOFLICH Assistant Superintendent To an assistant go the unthankful tasks necessarily connected with such a position. Father Hoflich is owed the thanks of each student for his observing interest in their behalf. His one year of fruitful service as Assistant Superintendent proves his usefuUness to the modern Catholic student. OUR PRINCIPAL Bro. Julius J. Kreshel TO THE CLASS OF 1945 Felicitations to the Class of 1945 on your graduation from South Side Catholic High School. Parents, teachers and frieii s are proud of you because you have realized the high hopes they had placed in you. At this time you ore mindful of the persons and agencies that made possible your opportunities: your parents, your pastors, the Achdiocesan Catholic High School Association. With the years you will recall with an ever increasing gratitude the devotedness of the many teachers with whom you daily associated. You go forth from us to shoulder serious tasks in the immediate future. Upon your generation will rest the burden of winning the war and of constructing a new world order. You are equipped to make distinct contribution to the world as it will be. You have faith, faith in an intervening Providence, faith in supernatural values, and faith in the brother- hood of man. You believe in the dignity of the individual, his birthright of freedom, his eternal destiny. Go forth, then, with great confidence to carve for yourselves your several careers. Serve God and Country. Be true to the ideals that you have learnt to know and love. Leaven your future environment with those same ideals. Congratulations to the Class of ' 45 and to its editorial staff on the production of this year book. In it you will find enshrined some of the pleasant memories of persons and events that were yours at South Side Catholic High School. With the accumulated years, these memories of class room and campus will gladden your hearts anew and will spur you on to become more and more what you are right now, upright and virile Catholic men. Your teachers wish you all success. Their prayers and their blessings attend you as you march down the corridors of time. Brother Julius J. Kreshel, S. M. Bro. Julius Kreshel, S.M. The Catholic boy of today must be trained to think and act correctly. Upon Brother Julius falls the responsibility of realizing this task. As principal of South Side, he sees to it that each student receives the care and attention necessary to attain this objective. Supplementing the work of the faculty, Brother Julius is ever ready to help, encourage and guide the students. Bro. Vincent Brand Assistant Prmcipal Registrar Bookkeeping Shorthand Play Tickets Rev.

Yet, the class realized that all study and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so it showed an active interest in all extra-curricular activities and sports. Glee club, and band hgd five of the class on their respective rosters. R. Brewer won the freshman elocution contest. To the campus activities, twelve in all took part: five in football, three each in boxing and basketball and two in track. Bro. Joseph Schmidt, homeroom moderator. Honor students: L. Beishir, E. Gerard, E. Kovarik. C. Kuntz, D. Lahay, V. Vill- hard, M. Walsh. Class president: L. McKenna. Under the guiding hand of Bro. Adrian Jonson, Frosh B declared itself as a class to be watched in drives and extra-curricular activi- ties. A typical freshman class interested in all school events and studious when necessary are the two traits of Room 304. A half dozen ex- hibited their talent as members of the band, glee club and elecution team. Thirteen re- sponded to the call of athletics: five for basket- ball, three each for football and track, and one for boxing, school champ, D. Phillips. Honor students: C. Hooker, M. Pusateri, L.

Robert Streckfus ' class is probably the most religiously inclined in the school: seventeen attended Mass during the Fr. Chaminade novena, and some two dozen or more went to Holy Mass and Communion during Lent. To round out its spirit, Fresh C had a better than overage record on the sport field: seven each for football and boxing, and five each for track and basketball. In extra- curriculars, however, it was an average class, participating in the band and Freshman Frolics activities. Honor students: A. Dale, C. Donahue, F. Egler, J. Horn, R. Truesdale, V. Wucher. 32 FRESHMHN D Leading the entire freshman division in the turkey raffle, Fresh D pulled up in second place throughout the school. The charges of Bro. Henry Collins dis- played adaptability by being active in almost all extra-curricular activities. Only three members of Freshman D managed to keep his average above 90%. However, four played on the C football team and one on the basketball quintet. Four others played in the band and one was a member of the glee club. Honor students: W. Kessler, B. Ryan, J. Wenger.

Hoffman reported a net gain of $31 from the turkey raffle. The intellectuals of Room 316 who scoured books to maintain a 90% average were R. Walsh, D. Webster and E. Wetterhoff. R. Connors, J. DiGraci, J. Dosen- bach and B. Hoffman saw action on the C football team. The basketball quintets inter- ested W. McDermott, N. Steele, H. Gillick, W. May, R. Walsh, J. Dosenbach and R. Blume. R. Mosberger and A. Hluzek were on the boxing and track teams respectively. Four others took part in band, glee club and caroling. Class officers : P. Swehla and B . Hoffman. Honieroonn teacher: Bro. Joseph Fogerty. The fact that I-F had the smallest number of students in the freshman division did not retard its progress at all. A well-filled program occu- pied the boys with athletics, extra-curricular activities, and scholastic work. D. Behrens, D. Burkart, A. Eckhardt, J. Ederle, and W. Ederle led the class as all had averages regis- tering over 90%. Slugging their way into sports, R. Beccard and R. Neubert entered the boxing tournament. The C football team drew P. Carroll, E. Caragher, A. Fox, V. O ' Halloran, W. Kaslick, D. Sum and t. Miller from I-F. Basketball attracted D. Sum, F. Carroll and H. Brouk. Bro. Robert Ernst, homeroom moderator was also the midget coach.

A winner or runner-up class best defines these sophomores. Soph A took top honors in the Christmas card campaign and in the annual ad program drive, with second place in the turkey raffle. Athletically, it contributed 13 to the various teams of the school: B football, the most popular took five, while B basketball and boxing numbered three each with only two going out for track. DeMoor, Kruger and Stanton represented the sophomore division on the elocution team whilst Beerman and Hartmann were members of the band. Honor students: W. Christ, E. Dierkes, L. Emniett, R.

As a class its outstanding characteristics were humor, good naturedness and cheer- fulness. To the field of sports, Soph C offered five to the B football champs, three to junior track, four to boxing and one to softboll, N. Fleisch- mann, pitcher. Honor students: D. Angenend, N. Dow- ling, F. Snriid and R. Wekenborg. Class moderator : Bro . Williann Schneider. SOPH D The competitor of Soph A, best fits Soph D. Cracking the 3600% mark in the turkey drive, it easily took the school honors. The annual play ticket drive saw Soph D on top, but it ran second in the ad program and other drives. To sports the class gave three each to the championship B football and basketball teams and one to softboll. The boys helped set the pace in daily Mass attendance during Lent and in several of the novenas here in tihe South Side Chapel. Charles Deters left South Side in March to join the Navy. In room 212 could be found a perfect blend of South Side school spirit — a keen interest in school drives, a vociferous appreciation at sport events, and an exemplary participation in spiritual activities. Honor students: F. Jenny, W. Koenig, K. Koberman, and R. Kirchoff. Class moderator: Bro. Robert Rounds. ;? ' ) SOPH E Even tempered and moderately active best characterizes 2-E. But when stirred into action this class really gets things done. When the Sixth War Bond drive started these sophomores considered it their patriotic duty to do their part. And well they did it con be seen in its having led the school with $40,000 to its credit. Scholastically, it was just average placing only three on the high honor roll. In extrc- curriculars and athletics, Soph E did its share. Band, glee club and orchestra listed more than one member from the class. Ten participated in athletics: four on the champ- ionship B football team, one each on the B prep champ quintet and the Softball team, two each on the track and boxing squads. Honor students : R.

Just average in scholastic ability summarizes its academic contribution. The B prep football champs drew six members from 2-F: R. Dempsey, F. Dielenhein, J. Groll, E. Hilkenkamp, T. Lively, H. Niehaus. The lone player on the B basketball champs v as J. Leach. Three participated in the boxing tournament: J. Massey, W. McKeone and F.

Schmitt JUNIOR This year, 3-A has been well represented in both sports and extra-curricular activities. It has placed among the first consistently in the drives which the school has fostered: Turkey Raffle, Marianist subscriptions. Ad soliciting; to name a few. Band, glee club and even a magic act, owe their success, at least in part, to members of 3-A. Turning to sports, it also played an active port. Kadlec and Brown helped throw up an awesome wall against which rival backs toted the pigskin futilely. Michaelree was the sole basketballer. The call for track brought a somewhat greater response with Perrings, Helbig, Kadlec, and Hohner making their bid for a position. Again a lone participant, Helbig, began the long, arduous task of training for the annual boxing tournament. Homeroom teacher: Bro. Stephen Ulsas. 42 Not to be outdone by any other class was 3-B ' s ambition. On the whole, the entire class cooperated fully in all acitivites from the turkey raffle to the swing- capade performances. South Side leaves emblazoned on all its students definite qualities and traits. It also offers various activities in which each individual can participate. 205 took advantage of this and found itself in a multifarious array of events. To athletics the class contributed a goodly number. D. KruU was the lone JUNIOR B hardwood player, whilst football was the chief interest of G. Winkler, D. Daly, D. KruU. Dangos and G. Winkler aided the softball team. The pugilistic efforts of the class were exemplified in A. Bauer. Spring fever did not affect R. Lehman and E. Trueman as both went out for track. T. Nienhaus drew a bye as Athletic Manager for the third season. To sum up. Junior B is a class of intrepid-minded Juniors, who work for the betterment of all through Catholic Action, together with their teacher, Bro. Raymond Wimmer. Honor student : T. Furrer. F. Hagerty J.

The class led the school in the Marianist subscription drive, also sold the most tickets to concerts and school events. It shined again in taking second in the War Bond drive, and fourth in the school for the turkey raffle, fourth in ad drive and scored 500% in the sale of Senior play tickets. While doing all this, ten of its members gained scholastic honors for the year. Junior C also contributed a good many boys to the athletic teams. Five played basket- ball and football, seven were on the track teams, two on the Softball squad and one for boxing. The class was well represented on the Clarion staff, band, swingcapades, orchestra, oratory and glee club organizations. It did not fall down in its religious work either. The class had an average of fourteen for daily Mass attendance in Lent, and took a good part in the various novenas held throughout the year. Homeroom teacher: Bro. Arthur Ebbesmeyer.

JUNIOR D Junior D, as lively a group as can be found anywhere, began to make itself felt by taking a position among the upper half of the school in scholastic standings as well as in extra-curricular activities. Presenting five football players to the team, one a regular, it has set up a tradition to which all classes can look forward. The gridiron men were: A. Kleekamp, T. Coughlin, J. Kadlec, F. Kuna and M. Kollar. During the third week of school, a class president and a secretary-treasurer were elected in the person of M. Kollar and J. Kadlec, to carry on the business activities necessary in a Junior class. Four boys found the cultural attraction of the band great enough to warrant the early rising necessary to arrive at 7:45 thrice weekly. These boys, A. Kovarik, J. Gorey, J. Kadlec and B. Goughenour have kept the strains of Beethoven and Schubert shim- mering like summer heat throughout the refined walls of Bro. William Lehan ' s 208. Track had its aspirants: W. Kalin and C. Maus. Boxing attracted big G. McKenna and V. Koehler. George continued through one week of practice; Vincent sparred on the first night of the boxing tournament with E. Dowling. Anyway, Vlnce has another year. Navy appealed to F. Wehrle and the Army to J. Gorey. Honor students: T. Coughlin, R. Dohle, F. McDermott. 45 f o P o ....i i£4 IS- ' O First Row: R. Maly, A.

Three of its mem- bers ranked among the first ten of the school for the semester averages: A. Dunkin, R. Litzau and R. Pohrer. Over 50% of the class ranked above 85% for the semester. To sports activities this class con- tributed a goodly number. Sehr, Willen- burg and Baudendistel were gridiron candidates; Abkemeier and Willen- burg hardwood players; Sehr to soft- ball; and Kertz, Hackett, Willenburg, Blanke were the cindermen. On the cultural side, Mertens, Rus- tige, Kertz, Tiefenbrun, Pohrer, Willen- burg, Dunkin were band members; Pohrer and Dunkin on the Clarion staff; Snyder and Blume were the orators. Another half dozen: Mertens, Tiefenbrun, Dunkin, Blume, Mottingly participated in the orchestra, debate, Swing Capades and Aeronouhc club organizations. Bro. John Messner was the homeroom moderator. 46 ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY DIRECTORS REV. RICHARD BRAND Dynamic minded, stalward mcxiera- tor of Senior IV, C Father Brand has very ably conducted all spiritual activi- ties of the year. Through his efforts the record-breaking Career Angel took shape, and developed into one of the finest senior plays ever presented at South Side. BRO. WILLIAM LEHAN Under the guidance of a well- versed tutor, singers and orators delved into their own peculiar fields and emerged with the aspects of indelible culture chnging to them. Bro. William is re- sponsible for this year ' s glee club and a staff of convincing orators. His sound knowledge of the political world aids the student in the discussions about their future duties. The polished glee- men reflect the spirit of music on Bro. Lehan. BRO. JOSEPH SCHMIDT Bro. Joe as he is affectionately callea by the students is the energetic moder- ator of the band and swingmasters. The many band concerts and jam sessions by the swing band are a manifestation of his ability. To his credit also go the Freshman Frolics and the Swingcapades, which were superb presentations of musical revues. Crowded performances at their public appearances, attest to the popularity of these live-wire organizations and their capable director, Bro. Schmidt. BRO. ROBERT STRECKFUS Supplementing regular mental train- ing for the underclassmen was the development of discipline and endur- ance through systematic contests in elocution. The coach of elocution for 1945 was Bro. Streckfus. It was he who put South Siders through a series of mental building, ranger training, as a prelude to the rigorous future in the business world of today. In years to come, his followers will always remem- ber him and the enriching value he placed in student life. REV. ALPHONSE PIEKARSKI Character building focused the spot light on Father Piekarski. As assistant chaplain, he followed the outlines of a man entirely devoted to the spreading of religious ideals in the hearts of Catholic Youth. Future writers were given a comprehensive preparation through his moderation on the Senior Annual — THE GREEN AND WHITE . BRO. ARTHUR EBBESMEYER Under the able tutelage of Bro. Arthur Ebbesmeyer, who took over the helm of responsibility as faculty adviser in September, the Clarion maintained its reputation as one of the city ' s out- standing high school papers. As in the past, the Clarion was awarded All American Rating by National Scho- lastic Press Association in recognition of its merit. BRO. ROBERT ROUNDS Ability to go to the fore, to argue and to win is a perfect description of the work of Bro. Rounds. Under the colorful atmosphere created by him, seniors of South Side ' s debate club interested junior and sophomore recruits in rudi- mentary forensic work. The reward of such an activity is the ability to speak English with a polished fluency. This IS what Bro. Robert did. PROF. JOSEPH DI FULVIO Under the able and precise direction of Prof. Joseph DiFulvio, South Side ' s young bondmen demonstrated their proficiency and familiarity with music in both popular and classical cate- gories. Through hours of diligent practice, the members of the bond under Prof. DiFulvio ' s attention, have become one of the finest High School concert bands of the city. 48 SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES Due to the ceaseless encouragement and work of Fathers Brand and Piekarski, South Side ' s religious aspect took on a brilliant and new angle. The year ' s activity started with the annual retreat; Father Brand preaching to the Freshmen and Sopho- mores and Father Piekarski to the Junion-Senior group. In October, a living rosary assembly was held in honor of Our Lady, with athletes making up the rosary. A mem- orial service for boys making the supreme sacrifice in the war was held in November. During Advent a general assembly honored Our Lady Immaculate. January was devoted to Father William Joseph Chaminade, founder of the Brothers of Mary. A novena in preparation for his feastday and to help further his beatification attracted a full chapel of students. A shrine built in the school vestibule helped accentuate the seriousness of the novena services. The 100 Club, organized in Lent, obligated its members to daily mass and communion. To round out the activities, a Career Novena was held in March to help each student in the choice of his lifework. April saw South Side oversubscribe its quota in the National Clothes Drive to help the war-sh-icken peoples of Euorpe and Asia. The year ' s religious program was brought to a close with daily devotions in honor of Our Blessed Mother during May. With such a background, South Side students cannot help but make fine, Catholic men of Christ in future life. 44 G. Roeder, co-editor D. Fleck, co-editor A. Siems, sports C. Reker, classes R.

GREEN AND WHITE With the aim of having the best yearbook to be pubhshed at South Side, the first Green and White annual was edited. Nine seniors combined their time and talent with faculty advisers to reach this goal. Under the diligent direction of Fr. Alphonse Piekarski, co-editors Jerry Roeder and Donald Fleck with their assistants offer to the students the latest Green and White edition. Seconding the efforts of the co-editors were Art Siems who handled the sports section, Clarence Reker the history of the underclasses and Richard Jones the various school activities. Robert Reis and Joseph Ruzicka took care of the art work and lay-out plannnig whereas Robert Amesbury and William Robert typed and proofed the copy matter as well as wrote articles for the various sections of the book. The staff wishes to extend its thanks to the Reliance Engraving Co., in the persons of Messrs. Charles Uxa and Joseph Rich, for the wonderful work they turned out of the pictures delivered to them. Also thanks to Kohler Printing Co. for its neat-looking printing job and to the Van Miller Studio for the valuable assistance it contributed to the school ' s photographers. 50 DEBHTING The debating team of Bro. Robt. Rounds concluded its season in third place in the Catholic League. The final count for both negative and affirmative teams read eleven victories and seven defeats. After tireless toil, the negative team of Jack Dunsford and Jake Kacin marked up 8 victories in 9 encounters, whereas the inexperienced affirma- tive team took three of nine meets. The tournaments held at St. Elizabeth Academy, in vrhich Jack Dunsford was elected one of the two best orators, decided the illustrious possibilities of South Side ' s Champions of the world of oration. Oratorical action was seen here at S. S. and again at the State League where S. S. ' s negative team trampled Roosevelt and St. Louis High, while the affirmative team bowed to both. 11 til p II 1? l - H Left to Right: A. Dunkin, A. Wibbenmeyer, J. Dunsford, J. Kacin, Bro.

With con- tributions to, and improvements of the school, the Mothers ' Club is without a doubt the best moral, intellectual and physical benefactor of South Side. Always on hand when financial or religious advice and help are needed, the Club will continue, although the students come and go, to benefit all who are in need of aid. Something good can be said for every day of its existence, but if we were to illustrate it, it would more than fill the pages of this yearbook. With gratitude and love in the hearts of all the students and teachers, we wish to thank each and every member of the Mothers ' Club for making our school a better institution of learning to those who have to spend part of their lives in learning at South Side.

All the laughs, tears, thrills, and gasps that go with Nazi intrigue, orphans ' wiles, and angel antics were brought to South Side in the Annual Play Ceireer Angel. The Declaration of Independence caused its bit of turmoil among the faulty functions of the St. Mary ' s Institute for homeless urchins. Rescue was brought to the fiasco institute in the form of a career seeking cherub, who trapped spies, chased Eleanor Roosevelt, and saved the orphanage with the aid of Bro. Seraphim, his earthly charge. Father Brand, guide and sincere critic, is credited with one of the most successful Senior Plays yet held at South Side. ■uw m MP V nwi fl ' If ' ■ 1 1 m r J.

ORATORY ELOCUTION Preparatory to entering the Annual Saint Louis American Legion Orator- ical Contest, Bro. William Lehan organ- ized the junior-senior elimination in January. Jack Dunsford, who placed first in the City Finals last year, was selected again as South Side ' s repre- sentative. This year Dunsford took second place in the City Final Elimina- tions, but was defeated in the Regional Contest at Perryville. The Eleventh Annual Marianist Ora- torical Contest, sponsored by the Wes- tern Catholic Union was held at South Side on the night of May 4 and won by Robert Snyder, Room 3-E of the host school. His topic was: A Good Amer- ican is True to His God. After a series of contests in the soph- omore and freshman divisions, six boys were selected to represent South Side in the various meets to be held between the Catholic High Schools of the cit y. The tourney finalists were: R. Brewer, D. Harbough, T. Kruger, F. Stanton, L. DeMoor and C. Thiessen. In the two city meets held at McBride and St. Louis U. High, Brewer and Kruger gained 18 and 12 points respectively, just missing gualifying for the finals. All in all, in its first attempt at Speech Con- tests, we can say Bro. R. Streckfus did a good job forming the six contestants. 54 THE CLHRION The rating of Ail-American by the National Scholastic Press Association best expresses the value of the Clarion. Bringing the best news at the right time is the prima facie of a school paper. The Clarion did this. With hard boiled Jack Dunsford as an extremely efficient Editor-in-Chief, there was no time for play on the Clarion staff. J. Dunsford was ably assisted by such prominent writers as J. Kacin, H. Santen, J. Eichhorn, F. Flood, J. Roeder, and A Wibbenmeyer, from the senior brigade. Veteran writers from the ranks of underclassmen who will return to the staff are C. Smith, A. Lamprecht, A. Dunkin, E. Trapp, and R. Dierkes. E. Leeker and R. Hezel, also returning, took care of the art. The Clarion was kept running and in good condition by Brother Arthur Ebbesmeyer, faculty adviser.

ACTIVITY LEfiDERS Six seniors this year were awarded the highly coveted S pin for their participation in extra-curriculars. J. Kacin stole top honors with 414 points, amassed through four years of work in practically all the activities, praticularly the band, orchestra and Clarion. J. Dunsford ran a close second with 407, losing out because of his non-par- ticipation in the musical field. D. Fleck took third honors with a scant 235 points to his credit, obtained through work on the Clarion, Green and White and the annual play. W. Robert, acguired his 210 points with the band, orchestra. Swing Capades and the Green and White. V. Marchlewski ' s 205 points took fifth place, whilst E. Liesenfeld with 200 claimed the sixth position. These latter two participated in the band and orchestra during their four years. In all, some sixty-four boys merited an activity pin award of some kind. J. Dunsford V. Marchlewski D. Fleck J.

His interest in and care of the athletes has endeared him to all South Side teams. Dragon Sports have prospered under his irispiration and guidance. To care for the athletes and provide better facilities, he had the foot- ball field graded and leveled, and a track laid. In addition to his manifold duties Bro. Jerry also directs the boxing tourna- ment. DR. EMMET RUND Uppermost among the interests of the school in regard to sports is to safeguard the phycisal wel- fare of its athletes. In this capac- ity the able assistance of Doctor Rund has been secured. One of the foremost medical men of St. Louis, Doctor Rund has been an important factor in the South Side ' s low injury rate. MR. CLARENCE MONKEN To transport the athletic equip- ment to and from the games is no small job and few persons can be found who will generously give of their time to help solve this important task. Yet the ath- letic staff has been fortunate to find such a one in the person of Mr. Monken. To him the ath- letic staff and all the athletes say a grateful Thank You . MR. HARRY DURSO To fill the replacement of Mr. Herbst was a big job, but Mr. Harry Durso did the unexpected. Trainer of boxers at the Boys ' Club and Mullanphy centers, the former A. A. bantamweight champ directed the South Side glovers in fundamentals and attack so well, that the three night tournament clearly showed that Mr. Durso can produce champions equipped with the tricks of the square ring. BRO. LOUIS STOLSEK Each year the task to mold a C Football team requires much patience in teaching the neophytes the fundamentals of the sport. Such was the job en- trusted this year to Bro. Louis Stolsek who built a smooth work- ing football eleven with the freshmen. Their record of 3 wins and 4 losses showed improve- ment in each succeeding con- test. BRO. EUGENE SOHM With the loss of Ray de Greef last year. South Side was faced with the problem of naming a new head coach for football and basketball. Not all important decisions as this come out quite as well as did the choice of Bro. Eugene Sohm. State champ basketball coach of McBride in ' 40, and Green Wave gridiron mentor last year, Bro. Eugene took command and built a real threat to Prep League oppon- ents, capturing a second in both sports. Taking over with no warning and with the difficulty of teaching a new system, Bro. Sofun turned his predicament into an enviable position. BRO. HENRY COLLINS An old hand at taking the yearlings and teaching them patiently the fundamentals of basketball is the work assigned to Bro. Henry Collins. That he does a good job is shown by the record his teams have amassed. Much credit for success of var- sity players is due to his early teaching. In addition to guiding the C team, Bro. Henry also coached the Championship Softball Team. BRO. ROBERT ROUNDS ] In his first year on the Dragon athletic staff, Bro. Rounds offered to direct the netmen of the school. By means of constructive criti- i cism and advice he was able to produce a threat to the other league members ' monopoly on | the clay courts. A second place ] clearly pointed out the success o . his coaching. , J BRO. STEPHEN ULSAS A former coach of a cham- pionship team at Central Cath- ■ olic of San Antonio, Bro. Stephen assisted Bro. Stolsek in drilling | the C team eleven in the fun- ' damentals so necessary for a I winner. That he did an excellent i job was proved by the constant improvement of the Green Ripple eleven, and their defeating first j half of the season opponents in the latter half of the schedule. BRO. JOSEPH KONITZER In his four years at South Side, tall and talented Bro. Joseph Konitzer has taken an avid in- terest in South Side Sports. As assistant coach to the varisty football teams the past three seasons, he has given invaluable help to the coach. His forte, however, is B basketball, as shown by his teams ' having won the Junior Prep League Cham- pionship three out of four years. ALL SPORTS TROPHY For the second consecutive year South Side won the All Sports Trophy in the Prep League. This season, the school was unable to parade a series of championship teams. However, the one and only winner — Softball, and that a co-championship — was able to clinch the coveted trophy. Second place positions in all the other sports but track definitely manifested the well-known fact that second and third places produce champions. In a word, South Side had during the past season a well-balanced athletic roster. BRO. OTTO WEISBRUCH A new face at South Side, Bro. Otto soon showed his interest in Dragon athletics. Through his untiring work and planning. South Side cindermen for the first time had a track they could call their own. Thus, with Bro. Sohm, he developed a track squad, which though not strong this season, augurs well for a good season next spring, a squad capable of causing the other prep teams a lot of trouble. FR. ALPHONSE PIEKARSKI Nothing extraordinary was expected from the B team. But, with a heavy line and a fast charging and blocking back- field on the squad. Father re- fused to accept the pre-season prediction. Using a new system and style of play, Fr. Piekarski was able, after a careful selec- tion of players, to drill a Green Wave eleven that rolled along, game after game, to an un- scored on and untied Prep crown. That his team was good defensively and offensively is attested by the season ' s record. BRO. ROBERT ERNST To give the smaller boys in the school an opportunity to play sports, Bro. Robert Ernst took over the coaching assign- ment of the Midgets. Due to his untiring efforts his charges man- aged to break even with a 12 win and 12 loss record. Line: J. Green, A. Siems, J.

DRAGONS Mid-season layoffs paved the way for Dragon disappointments in the Prep League. Eyeing the championship greedily by pre-league performances, cutting complimentary capers through their first three tilts, the Dragons were slowed down by a deadly three week vacation. The turn of the season came as the boys jostled with C. B. C. for the lead in first league competition. Dropping the game by one point after a hard fought battle, South Side went on to whip Central Catholic and deadlock with McBride to share second place honors. Potentially, the 1944 Dragons lacked nothing for a championship team. Spirit, talent, excellent, dependable subs, the will to win, all combined into a punch packing team. 62 HLL-PREP PLfiYERS VARSITY RECORD s.s. OPP. 25 Southwest 12 Normandy 7 18 Ritenour 6 6 C. B.

These qualities merited the stocky guard all prep- rating. CHARLES SCHOENDIENST, played a bang-up game as the team ' s bucking fullback. He stood out on the defense, blocking holes in the line, batting down enemy passes, and staggering the offensive before they could get under way. CflPT. CHARLES AHRENS, was one of those rugged tackles that make any team look good, starring offensive- ly and defensively when the game was roughest. Chosen for the second con- secutive year as all-prep, he was also on the Quarterback ' s Club All-District roster. DON STOCKMANN, had a tough assignment as center on the single wing formation, but handled it as an all -prep player should. His passes were hard but true and gave the backfield a lead on any play. JOE GREEN, an adept at snaring passes. His smart end play rendered him invaluable on the defense as he drove plays into the tackles and broke up the interference on power plays. Fast under punts, opposing safety men often found themselves stopped by ferocious tackles as soon as they caught the ball. Bottom row: G. Willenburg, J. Baudendistel, F. Kuna, E. Kadlec, R. Svoboda.

Catholic 33 St. Joseph 6 McBride 151 13 GREEN WHVE GREEN RIPPLE Principally organized for grooming future varsity material, South Side ' s 1945 B team topped its main objective, and then some, by romping through a tough schedule, strewing would-be victors along their victory trail. Opening the season with a hard fought draw, the squad went on to illustrate they learn by mistakes by stamping down the next two comers. Momentarily stumbling over an underesti- mated foe, the march was tripped by a deter- mined Roosevelt team and thereby taking the first and last shellacking of the season. But the Green Wave was insulted and angered. As an outlet for this wrath, the boys shut out the re- maining unfortunate schools. Blessed with an iron-clad line which allowed only 13 points across the last sacred stripe, the Prep League B Champ ' s backfield ran ram- pant, scoring a grand total of 151 points. Jenny, Armbruster and Mudd on the line with Fleischmann, McFarland, Bellers, Burdette and Pudlowski in the backfield high-lighted the B team ' s superiority. Based on the teaching rather than winning, a C team can count its season as successful not by the wins chalked up but rather by the squad performance at the conclusion of the schedule. The 1945 Green Ripple completed a re- markable feat in their chameleon-like trans- formation from brazen young freshmen, some of whom had never participated in organized football, into a smooth coordinated team, firmly packed with determination and enthus- iastic skill. Rounding out their season with three wins and four losses the young men in green enjoyed all the thrills and spills of any professional team. What the team lacked in experience, it made up in determination, for tight games were the example rather than the exception. Real dividends of this season for the young- sters won ' t be paid off until these same lads don varsity togs to carry the green and white banner to greater heights. VARSITY BHSKETBHLL Flying along at a .667 winning percentage, the 1944-45 Dragon basketeers won 14 of their 21 games. In defense of their Prep Crown, they won four of six games. While twice trouncing C. B. C, they dropped a pair of hard-fought battles to Central Catholic, the Prep Champs. The Dragons twice defeated the McBride Micks by two points in two of the most thrilling games of the season, the former being an overtime contest. South Side lost to a tall Soldan team in the opening game of the Normandy Invitational Tournament. Taking second place to Cleveland in the sub-regional tourney, the team lost out to a tough Beaumont guintet in the first regional game at Washington University. The coaching was well-done by Brother Eugene Sohm, in his first varsity season at South Side. The team scoring was led by the tireless forward Joe Ruzicka with 145 points, while Ivan Lahay, captain and stellar guard poured in 138 markers. Dave Karl was the bad boy of the club, fouling 46 times; Lahay again was second with 44. Ray Cullinan was the free throw artist, tallying 28 of 42 tries. Kneeling: T. Nienhaus, mgr., R.

RAYMOND CULLINAN The tall man of the team, Ray was always on the top when it came to a jump. Retrieving from the backboard was definitely his part of the game. JONH McCULLOUGH Being where the opponent didn ' t want him was John McCullough ' s usual habit. Besides playing tight defensively, he put the ball through the hoop when it was needed. IVAN LAHAY The newspapers called Ivan a defensive bulwark. This he was. But he also had a selection of shots that made him dangerous on either end of the court. 67 Bottom Row: P. Metzger, W.

Small in size, the B team relied on its speed to take 19 i of 24 contests and the Prep B crown. When the Green Wave walloped ] McBride in the play-off game 40-28, it marked the third prep championship in I four years for coach Bro. Joseph Konitzer. Freshman Louis McKenna poured in 201 points to lead the quintet in scoring. In all, the B team averaged 34 points per game to the opponents 22, reaching ; a record score of 56 points against Cathedral of Belleville. , The starhng line-up saw Vender Haar and Leach at the forwards, McKenna ' at center, with McFarland and Everding at the guards. ' 825 492 [68; s. s. C TEAM Most freshman teams usually are inexperienced. This year s squad, perhaps can be said to be the most inexperienced group ever to come out at South Side. Still, out of these lads, future varsity material, Bro Henry Collins was able to develop a quintet that won 13 of 25 contests. In Prep League competition, the C team lost all of its games. Nevertheless, the squad did learn the fundamentals of the game, and next year should be a more experienced team. Kessler, high point man poured in 194 points, with Kennedy runner-up with 91. The starting five consisted of forwards Kessler and Kennedy, center Dosen- bach and guards Gerard and Carroll. 15 North Side 19 17 Soldan 37 39 St. Anthony I 19 19 St. Thomas 30 13 C.

Bro Robert Ernst, through diligent practice and insistance on fu ndamentals produced a team that could boast a 500 per cent record, wrinning and losing 12, and half of the defeats were by a one or two point margin. McDermott led the team ' s scoring with 129 points, followed by Kovarik with 89. In all, the team scored 565 points against the opponents 492. Wuest and McDermott at guards, Donahue at center, and Kovarik and Brouk at forwards made up the starting five for the midgets. 565 492 70 dss J Bottom Row: C. Reker, N. Fleischmann, D.

South Side showed its adapt- ability by annexing the title for the second con- secutive year. Around a nucleus of last year ' s squad, coach Bro. Henry Collins sprinkled in a few underclassmen to shape up a team that opponents feared to play. The Southsiders stepped into the batter ' s box with determina- tion and proceeded to tally on extra base hits. The outfield was comprised of sluggers posses- sing sturdy throwing arms. An impenetrable infield with an A-1 battery made the team a finished product. s.s. OPP. S.S. OF P. 9 C. B. C. 1 2 McBride 3 4 C. B. C. 2 5 Central Catholic 2 C. B.

Otto Weis- bruch, things began to move. No real track on the campus existed for the Dragon runners. Bro. Otto set out to construct one around the football practice field. After weeks of labor, South Side could sport a four-lane track of its own. From then on, practice was in earnest and the cindermen began to train with determina- tion for the main event of the year, the annual Prep League Track meet on May 1st. With only one preliminary practice meet with Cleveland ' s sguad, the Green and White sprinters entered the meet and totaled a mere 283 points. ' The senior sguad with one year of experience produced 17} points whereas the junior run- ners collected 11. Kadlec was high for both sguads with 8 points, a first in the senior shot put and second in the discus. McFarland topped the juniors with 63 2 points as a result of a first in the 440 yard dash, a fourth in the 220 and a fourth on the 880 relay team. As a whole, the 28V3 points won by the junior-senior track squads in the meet is not bad for a team in its second year of stiff com- petition as offered by the Prep League. In fact, the total is much better than most teams are able to amass in their second year. Of the runners who placed in the meet, South Side loses four through graduation: Wence, Witte, Block and Lyles. Furthermore, the majority of the senior trackmen will be back, as also the junior cindermen. Next year, the Dragon cindermen, with the experience gathered from the meet, shall be able to offer stiff er competition to the C. B. C. and McBride teams. In the Clayton Invitational Meet, McFarland, a junior runner, took third in the senior 440 and Witte placed fourth in the mile event. 72 ■ i ■■■■■■ H ■■■ i iBaaaS M aa ai aBa ■■■■■miSSC bhbB R ' l . r- -c A -K- ' 41 f ; V.

Flying leather was a common sight, as K.O. ' s, T.K.O. ' s and close decisions marked this event. Mr. Harry Durso, former Western A.
