From that first strange and r exciting day, when we knew so little of all the wonderful things to come, right down to the present day we have always been extremely proud to say that we were attending a school that maintains such high standards. We, beingstudents of St. Marys High School and members of the Sodality of Our Blessed Mother, have become closer to Mary and through Her closer to Christ. One of our very great privileges is that we may begin each day by attending Holy Mass. After doing so for twelve Years, we well know that there is no better way to start a.day. It is with pleasant memories and with grateful hearts for all we have received that we leave our Alma Mater. Naturally, we feel a tinge of sadness at the thought of departing, but having received the training that we have-training which' cannot be surpassed, we are confident that we are well prepared to take our place in the world and being ever mindful of our class motto HTo Jesus through Mary we will always be a credit to our own St. Marys High. ' Rt. Rev. Msgr. P. McCullough A sincere thank you goes to you, Monsignor McCullough, for being our guiding light all through our years at St. Marys. We shall, in the years to come, remember our good old days at St. Marys, and we shall recall that you, by your kindly guidance, were an inspiration to us. And through your direction we are prepared to begin our journey on the highway of life. We see vaguely what the future holds for us, but we realize that if we practice the virtues you have so often stressed-loyalty, gratitude, and obedience-we are sure to walk into a successful future. Yes, Monsignor, we shall treasure these precious mem- ories which you have given us during our years at St. Mary's. In gratitude, we, the Class of 46, say sincerely Thank you. $665661 tion There is a traditional saying iiOld friends are the best friends? And this saying is true when we speak about the Sisters of St. Joseph on our high school faculty. We have come to you when in trouble and you have been our inter- ested advisers and our loyal friends. From dawn until dusk you have worked for our benefit. For this we ask God to bless you. So we wish to take this opportunity of thanking you who have labored during the past years for us by dedi- cating this, iiThe Marian i116, to you. ....... Sister M. Berchmans, B.A. Sister M.

After finding out, we wished we could have gone back across the hall, but nevertheless, we persevered and about the second week of school we elected our class officers. They were Becky Mouser, Presi- dent; Phyllis Fields, Vice President; Patsy Harmon, Secretary; and Jim Skahan, Treasurer. By popular vote, Phyllis Fields was to be our class reporter. Our first retreat, given by Father Lam- bert made an impression upon us never to be forgotten. Happy indeed were we when time rolled around for graduation. We were no longer re- garded as Green Freshmen, but assumed the title of SOphistieated Sophomores. ' Time went on! September, 1943! Twenty- three still wanted to go. Can you imagine? As- suming responsibilities that year were Irene Banke, ruler of the room; Mary McNally, sub- ruler; Angela Peak, our capable secretary; and Becky Mouser, our troublesome treasurer. Mar- garet Lero, our modern Betty Blair, took up where Phyllis left off by writing up the SOphomore Squibbs. This year was of great interest to all, for our own Joe Monsour and Mary McNally won the titles of Uncle Sam and Miss Columbia for their efforts in the War Bond drive. Quite a new ex-- perience to us was our first minstrel under the direction of F ather Hertel which proved to be a great success. We were very proud of our one basketeer, namely Joe Monsour, who pushed his way to the big five. Joan Catanzaro was Joeis chief support as she was one of the four cheer- leaders. We found out that the higher up we went, the faster time flew. We found ourselves as far up as we could go as far as floors are concernedl into the J unlor room. ' r '? K. 55a ' .2 . '01:? - , .u- . .. . I, a ' :D-zg -o ,. r' I a I ' ; 9 - g - R I' -2?! .m? ., g Realizing that this was to be a busy year and that we would need capable leaders to carry the load, we got started right by electing Angela Peak. prexy; Mary McNally, vice prexy; Patty Cairns, time keeper; and Joan Catanzaro, money keeper. What, oh what could be our theme! This became our slogan as we swere all a dither about the J unior-Senior Prom. Mariclare Benage kept tab of all the activities and cleverly wrote them up for I: l the Marianette. That year we found Joe Monsour not pushing for the first team, but definitely on the first five and strictly on the ball. J oan Catan- zaro was still behind Joe with her peppy cheers. Quite an event that year was the Dixie Jamboree No. II under the supervision of Father Dennis. Much of the credit was due to Mariclare B'enage who played the musical accompaniment on the piano. With the cares of the J unior-Senior Banquet behind us tincidentally our theme was the stars, Thanks to Sister Berchmansl and the high hope of being Seniors before us, we took six steps across the hall and found ourselves Dignified Seniors. liTime waits for no one and it certainly didnit wait for us to grow up before letting us become Seniors. In our last year our tasks were greater than ever before, for with the joy of being Seniors, came the responsibility of editing the liMarian and Marianettefi But wait-first must come the class officers. Mariclare Benage presided with Angela Peak ready to take over at any time. Mary Ann Spritzer hounded everyone for class dues while Patty Cairns tried desperately to tran- scribe the shorthand notes she took during class meetings. Velma Rank showed her ability during her one year at St. Marys by writing up the Sizzling Senior Sayings. The Marianette was edited by our capable Bessie OiConnor who spent the greatest part of her time assembling the paper. This Marianii was edited by Phyllis Fields and Mariclare Benage, who still have circles under their eyes from burning the midnight oil. For the first time in the history of St. Marys a student athletic association was formed. Ramona Moore and Becky Mouser were elected treasurer and secretary respectively. About December 8, we re- ceived our annual pictures and we realized that soon we would no longer frequent the ninth street block. Time grew shorter and school went faster. Graduation was nigh and we began to wish we were beginning all over again, but since this was impossible, we took things in stride and went on. Sneak day, May crowning, class night, and finally graduation day. At last we had achieved our goal. To Monsignor, and our faculty, we said Thanks for everything, but particularly for the spiritual inspiration which will be for us a priceless her- itage in our future years. at Dear Friends of St. Marys: We, the Co-Editors of HThe Marian VI, under the sponsorship of Sister Linus, have attempted to edit an an- nual of which you and St. Marys High may be proud. We have tried to instill the warmth and good fellowship that is part of St. Marys High, into this annual, to make it char- g acteristic of the school we all know and love so well. We hope that you enjoy The Marian VI as much as , El we have enjoyed bringing to you a taste of happier days i.

Mooney has another year and will be of great service to the team. Hugh Moore center Hugh is only a Sophomore this year but played a strong defensive game and had a keen eye for the basket. Moore has two more years to play for the Panthers. High. Jim Scalet, guard J im was the diminutive player who played an outstanding guard posi- tion when called on. Scalet is an- other Sophomore who has his two best years to play for St. Mary's MR. STEELE Otto Keller, forward Otto played the other forward posi- tion most of the season and was one of the most aggressive players in the Mineral Belt. Keller has one more year to play. Ted Yoakam, guard Ted was constantly pushing the us- ual starting five and did start sev- eral games. During this season Yoakam played guard, center and forward at various times and was a fine defensive and offensive player. Ted has one more year. J 0e Monsour, forward, co-captain Joe was a hard-driving aggresive forward on the Panther five. His hot-shot shooting was a main factor in the team's success. Monsour graduates this year and his position David Jones, forward 1 Jones was one of the most accur- ate shots on the squad. David start- ed several games and was improv- ing fast at the seasons end. Jones has his last season to play for S. M. H. S. next year. will be hard to fill. Pat OiConnell, guard, center Pat was one of the most improved players on the squad. His ability to play either guard or the pivot post on offense made him a constant scoring threat. OiConnell is a J unior and will be back next year. FATHER DENN 18 Father Dennis has been an inspiration to us the two years that he has been assistant pastor in this parish. Father has been very active in the social and sports organizations of St. Mary's and has shown his interest in many special ways. The St. Maryis Pep Club was led enthusiastically by Rose- mary Fedell, Betty Leach, Pat Kelly, and J eanne Bridwell. Under their leadership, we supported the team through a winning season. James Sterbenz, center, was a good defensive guard and very adept at getting the ball off the backboard. Sterbenz has his final season with St. Marfs next year. Pete Boyd, forward, was the smallest member of the squaa but made up for this by his continued aggressiVeness and fight. Boyd is only a Sophomore and has two more years. Paul McWilliams, guard, always displayed an aggressive type of ball playing. Paul was improving rapidly at the seasonis end and should be of great help next year. Billy Pope, guard, a transfer student from Arma, played a guard position and proved to be a valuable man to the St. Mary's squad. Pope is a J unior and has one more year to Olav. v i tit ,5 . M ww- t s u on u i Another organization newly established this year in the interest of sports at St. Marys is the J unior Athletic Association of St. Mary's High School. Originally this association was under the auspices of several business and professional men of Pittsburg. however, for con'venience's sake, a high school committee was given full charge under the advisorship of Father Dennis and Mr. Steele. Mr. Steele and Father Dennis are pictured above with the entire Panther Squad. J. B. Towner, Bennie Gerwert, Donald Manning, and Billy Buche, all Freshmen, played outstanding basketball the entire season. These first-year boys played on the second team and while playing against boys who were Sophomores, J uniors, and Seniors, continued to hold their own. a WWW '3' Mr. Steele joined our faculty in Novem- ber, immediately after his discharge from the Navy. Lieutenant Steele was an athletic instructor in the Navy and has been doing a wonderful job as coach for St. Marys. Throup'h his efforts the boys have shown marked improvement and have become one of the leading basketball teams in this section. We are very happy to have on our faculty Mr. Steele, and we appreciate-the-time and effort he has put forth to produce a great team for St. Mary's. HOWARD WILBERT Due to the war St. Marys was unable to obtain a regular fac- ulty member coach at the be- ginning of the year. Howard Wilbert, class of 1945,00nduct- ed the physical education classesuntil a f ull time coach could be obtained. Soon after the arrival of Mr. Steele, How- ard enlisted in the army.
