That Deke should be an outstanding coach is not sur- prising, for he had been through many seasons himself as a stellar player. We can all remember him for his celebrated pep talks, and it is not until the tide of defeat is rolling toward us that we realize how necessary this discipline is to attain victory. Often at the beginning of a season Deke has been confronted with weak and inexperienced frosh and sophs, but each time he has moulded these raw recruits into rhythmical squads, noted for smoothness, speed and basketball savvy. If any controversy ever occurred on the court, Deke was always the first one to jump into the discussion in firm support of his Blue and Gold courtsters. His unerring knowledge of rules and regulations have been drilled into his proteges as part of the game. It is only when we become juniors and seniors that we see beneath the disguise of our coach. Apparently he is another Frank Leahy, ever re- minding his players of their susceptibility to defeat. As a result, when we go into battle on the court, we are always conscious of the possibility of an And as time marches on, we find Deke friendly, kindly and helpful. upset. to be A tribute to our coach-and how deserving is he of it! We do not thank Bob merely for the great teams he has turned out at St. Mary's in the last decade. We do not thank him for the drummed-in fundamentals, which made us better football play- ers, nor even for that deceptive cross-buck or that surprising quick kick that has won so many games in the waning seconds. No, we even pass over the way he made our bodies tough and our muscles strong that we may lead healthier lives in the years to come. But instead our whole hearts go out fo him for giving us the Fighting Irish of St. Mary's, that never-say-diel' spirit, that scrap to keep plugging when the cards are down, that indomi- table perseverence which the Alumni and ourselves are now showing, one on the world's far-Hung battlelieldsg the other on the gridiron, mound and court. It is only natural that we should inherit this un- conquerable spirit because it belongs to our be- loved coach. He found it at Colgate in years gone by as an All-American guard on a winning eleven. It surrounds him, it engulfs him, it is the man himself. To you we can but say, Bob- As long as Blue touches Gold at St. Mary's, you will be with us in our games, in our prayers, in our hearts. DEKE MCEVOY So, on behalf of all the fellows who have passed our gates of Blue and Gold, and for all those who have yet to graduate, we sincerely thank you, even more for teaching us courage, patience, and 6 'k Deke McEvoy, for teaching us basketball, but good sportsmanship.

By participating in extra-curricular activities, intermingled with diligent study, each student becomes, as it were, a contributing bead in our rosary ofjoys. -k7-A' Left to right-First row: T.

Or does it suggest some mysterious formula? Perhaps that's it, but here's the simplest solution. Take C-as in chemistry, B-as in biology, add G-as in general science and you have the basic formula C-B-G. When mixed in a test tube-large size, of course, over a Bunsen flame, the immediate reaction causes Chem-Bio-Gen -and that's the name of our club. Something new? I should say so-new ideas, new officers and an abundance of exciting, new plans. At our Kid Party, held February 20th, we forgot momentarily that we were sophisti- cated adolescents and became kindergarteners for an evening. After refreshments were served we cast aside our juvenile roles and enjoyed a bit of rug-cutting. In April we conducted an Arbor Day celebration at which we planted several small trees obtained from the State Nursery in Syracuse. C-B-G has been our Open Sesame to the world of science. Since science is playing such an all-important role in the present war, we future Pasteurs and Curies shall have our science courses to thank in later years. The Chem-Bio-Gen, by bringing together members of the four high school classes into one successful organization, has helped us socially, as well as educationally. 'k8'k IGI 0N PARLE FRANCAIS September-classes resumed-again the French II and III students, accomplished speakers de la langue francaise , found themselves eager to reorganize the French Club. This year promised something extra, and each member knows now that the meetings more than met with his expectations. Everything was off to a grand start with the election of four capable officers. Under the direction of monsieur le president we enjoyed the progressiveness which accompanies well conducted meetings. Through the kindness of several club members we were able to hear recordings of famous compositions by Cesar Franck, Claude Debussy, Bizet and others. Short sketches of the lives of these renowned men were given by a few of the more illustrious pupils of French. Our pronunciation and intonation were exposed to improvement by Monsieur de Sauze's records of French speaking. Whether or not our speech profited is debatable, but it is certain that these sessions were enjoyable. As a diversion from the more intellectual trend, les jeus in which the entire group par- ticipated afforded much entertainment to our social functions. In return for the great sacrifices our fighting alumni are making for us, the French stu- dents resolved to work harder and make the most of each precious moment. Now, as the end of another year has come, we can proudly say that we have fulfilled the promises made to our- selves, and we can only hope that with a new and just peace France will return to her old self- to the glorious France of old.

Snyder IN THE FUUTSTEPS 0F UUR LADY In describing this year's Sodality activities, one statement seems a little more appropriate than any other, namely, Something new has been added -something which has served to enliven our meetings and to add the necessary zest and sparkle. All these tributes, we, the feminine Sodalists, give to St. Mary's High School boys, the new members of Our Blessed Lady's Sodality, Naturally with the fellows now in our midst, originality was the keynote of all the meet- ings. A display of this characteristic was exhibited at our first meeting when, on male suggestion, several by-laws were adopted. Foremost among these was the establishment of a Communion Sunday. With all due respect to humility, it might be mentioned that parish comments of this new venture were entirely favorable. Another worthwhile innovation consisted of short, religious talks by the students themselves. Realizing that, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, our advisor, Sister Venard, proposed a social. A social resulted in many socials, in- cluding the famed Mardi Gras and a Welcoming Party. In May, the most beautiful ceremony of the year took place when Kathleen Ackerman expressed the sentiments of all Sodalists by crowning Mary, Our Mother, as Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. 10f DEAD 0F NIGHT SIIURES HIT Comedy and plenty of it was the order for this year's Senior play. Give us something to laugh at, clamored St. Mary's students- something really side-splitting. Never faltering for a moment our 1944 Thespians set to Work and came up with a delightful and ludicrous farce, fittingly named Dead of the Night. Alice Gardner, a radio script writer and her colored maid, Jasmine, had no idea that the charming country house in which they were staying was in reality a home,' for a varied and colorful assortment of celebrated nuts, Agreed, the guests were a bit on the eccentric side, with a would-be Pocahontas running wild at the drop of a hatfchetll and Mussolini, Hitler and Queen Elizabeth dropping in occasionally for tea. Yes, there was something wrong somewhere, and it definitely wasn't in Denmark! The arrival of Steve, Alice-'s fiance, only served to compli- cate affairs, and it required the combined efforts of Alice, Jasmine and a chap who fancied him- self as' Nijinsky before matters were finally righted. This process of righting gives oppor- tunity for some lively dialogue and humor contributed largely by the assorted nuts already mentioned. The descent of the final curtain found an appreciative audience applauding enthusiasti- cally, and fiushed but triumphant Seniors taking well-earned footlight bows. Another theatrical season was ended-another successful play was to take its place among St. Mary's memorables! Seated Qon fioorjz E. Domineske, G. Sheridan Standing-left to right: R. Martin, J.

Snyder, End x 1' at FADED CLEAT MARKS On September 8th, twenty-four eager candidates reported to Coach Bob Martin at Columbus field, ready to win fame and fortune as the St. Mary's gridiron representatives for the 1943 season. Among these twenty-four were five tried and true veterans of last year's campaign who formed a nucleus about which Coach Martin could form another of those fighting teams which are a tradition of St. Mary's. After three weeks of intensive conditioning exercises, signal drills in scrimmages, the Blue and Gold warriors set forth on September 26th to do battle with a highly touted St. Anthony's of Padua eleven from Syracuse. St. Mary's played David to St. Anthony's Goliath that afternoon and a second-period score decided the game in favor of St. Mary's 6-0. But the Blue and Gold did not emerge unscathed. A fractured ankle forced Doyle Glover, a varsity tackle, to the sidelines and Jim O'Mara, a first string end for three years, was accepted by the Navy. The following week Holy Family High of Auburn journeyed to Cortland for the first game of a home and home series. Striking early and late, the Auburnites defeated a fighting St. Mary team 20-0. Let it suffice to say that Auburn had a team far heavier and far more experienced than St. Mary's could ever hope to put on the field. Apparently Lady Luck was not looking on St. Mary's with favor, for another veteran, Joe Dwyer, was forced to the bench with an injured knee. In spite of this great loss St. Mary's revamped team came raging onto the field to whip George junior Republic 28-0 with Ray Corser, a freshman streak of lightning, scoring two touchdowns, and Bob Corcoran, playing his last game for St. Mary's before going into the Army, scoring another. Having been beaten by Auburn two weeks earlier by a score of 20-0, St. Mary's resolved that the same thing would not happen again when it traveled to the Prison City on October 17 for the final game of the season. Although the team would surely miss the line plunging of Bob Corcoran, the star fullback who had departed for Camp Upton at the request of his Uncle Sam, St. Mary's felt sure that the experience that they had acquired since the last game would make the Blue and Gold a match for the tough Holy Family team. That Sunday afternoon in Auburn was, without doubt, the climax of the season. Auburn was determined to repeat its previous performance, and St. Mary's was equally determined that they would not. For the full four quarters two gridifon giants charged up and down the field in vain endeavors to cross the opponent's goal line. Quarterbacks matched wits, using their most intricate plays, to no avail. Once a fumble on St. Mary's ten yard line almost spelled defeat for the Blue and Gold, but the defense tightened, and a quick kick on first down set Auburn back on her own thirty yard line. Up and down the field the battle raged, first one team taking the initiative and then the other, and when the final whistle blew, the scoreboard read the same as it had in the beginning 0-0. Because of wartime restrictions on transportation, St. Mary's did not play as full a schedule as it formerly did. However, the team, as usual, was high in quality if rather small in quantity. We wish the best of luck to Jim O'Mara and Bob Corcoran who have departed for the armed forces, and we give to them and to the members of the team who will be graduated, Bob Martin, Jim Casey, Tom Snyder, Tabby Domineske, Tom McNally the memories that come only from playing football for St. Mary's. Last, but not least we thank Father Edwards and Father Whalen for their kind under- standing, our able managers, Art Goodwin and John McNeil-for the efforts that they put forth to make this season the success that it was in spite of the difficulties. i'131l' Left to right: P.

Dwyer WITH A SWISH UF THE MESH St. Mary's did not escape the topsy-turviness of War-time basketball. Like other schools all over the country, we found ourselves in a whirl from the begin- ning to end- dropping cinch games and winning the tough ones. However the war has certainly made new friends in the guise of neighboring schools, whose colors we had not seen before. The O. D. T. acted as median. Despite the starting line-up of one veteran and four of last year's J. V.'s, we managed to come through with ten victories against twelve defeats, being restricted to 22 games, in lieu of the usual 24. But as is the way of all championship teams, defeats are suffered in the early years. CYou see, our 1943-44 courtsters were comprised of numberless sophomores, one junior and a sprinkling of seniorsj It should be added that three or four frosh supported strongly. Another pleasant surprise awaited us as the season drew to a close. Climaxing many high-scoring feats, Jim Casey, this season's remnant of last year's Varsity, smashed the all time scoring record at St. Mary's. He bettered the 219 point record set last year by Ted Hogan by 6 points, and did this in 22 contests. Until next year, when the hoop again becomes a crown, we bid adieu to our parting seniors-Casey, Odell, Martin, Goodwin, and to all lovers of basketball in general. 'k14i' Mary's H. Maryls H.

We tackle new and harder subjects and conquer them. We howl hilariously at class meet- ingsg we work diligently and long decorating the gym for our mixers: we fill our days with happiness.

We realize it when we buy stamps to keep the Minute Man Flag flying below the Stars and Stripes. This realization has made us turn more diligently to studies. True, we still have our fun and enjoyments-the Prom, our very own Junior-Senior Banquet, our Pre-Lenten Hop, basketball, foot- ball, our cokes and our jokes. But we are striving to grow up into better citizens, so we can be pre- pared to take our part in the postwar world. To hasten this postwar world, all our activities, our joys, and our sorrows, are offered up to Mary as a part of our rosary for a just and lasting peace. 'k16'k SUPHUMURES The same humdrum, the same gabbing between classes, the same fear of the boss and the nightly trip to Marian Margar- et's for a Mexican Sundae, are still prevalent with us Sopho- mores. And last but not least, the century-old talk about our newest flame, our awful crush , and our trouble of going steady. Yes, these are still characteristic of our youth, but l now, something new has been added to our chattering and es- pecially our spirit, that is the ardent desire for peace.

Whether it's or in the well-known Brigden's, the talk of our boys is anything but the usual talk of school and small happenings. All our chums, who have been with us since the first grade, are planning to join the Armed Forces to lick the enemy once and for all. Not only do they want to get into the iight, but they also want to fight for our freedom and peace. They want to make sure the next generation will have a Marian Margaret's to gorge on sodas, a hang-out like Brig- den's to shoot the bull and play pool Cif their Pops don't interferej Not only our high school lads but everyone is ready to sacrifice for the future peace. Ration- ing, victory tax, war-bond deductions, are just a few trials we have to bear. We want to bring back all our Sophomore boys over there fighting for us. How can we help do this? Bear the hardships of war, and pray daily for peace. 'k17 'lr QQ Left to right: M. Wakefield, D. Truman, T. Hennessey, B. Adams, C. Norton M. Ray, M. Cannavino, P. Tucci, J. Quinn, C. McCormick, W.

FRESHMEN We entered the Freshman Class much the same as any class who had ever experienced the thrill of becoming mere Freshies. But still there was something different about this year, some- thing which seemed to single us out above all our predecessors, for we were to begin preparing ourselves for our places in the postwar world. Remote from the battle fields of the world though the Fresh- man Class may beg yet each member of the class of '47 is doing his part in winning the war and effecting a just and lasting peace. By actively par- by fervently praying, we feel sure Not to be overlooked, however, is the active part the Freshies are taking in sports. We point with just pride to one from our ranks who made the Varsity football team, another who reaped glory on the Varsity basketball team, and our six cheerleaders who cheer them on to victory. We may also be credited with the successful publication of The Owl, our monthly magazine, a Christmas play What is a King? , which was climaxed by a flu epidemic and consequently was never publicly acclaimed, and also several very enjoyable parties. Soon we are to leave these happy days behind us, and take the step which brings us closer to our ultimate goal-Sophomores to be. 18 if SPEAK, THE SPEECH, I PRAY YOU America's war drums are rolling so that free speech may always be our privilege, not our dream. We at St. Mary's have recognized our obligation as free citizens of a democracy to be able to express our views on vital topics and to be well-informed on national issues-hence our Discussion Club. As an extra-curricular activity attached to our speech class, We found this undertaking to be fruitful throughout the year. Numerous topics came up for discussion, not only problems of government, politics and war, but also interesting social problems and local controversies. Chief among these were the Negro question, Juvenile Delinquency and the Problems of a Just Peace after the War. Several symposiums were given on these topics and because of the widely differing viewpoints of the Club members, all obtained a more thorough understanding and wider conception of these problems. Extemporaneous speaking, dramatics, debate, poetry, radio and telephone conversations also were listed among the activities of our club. Two of our number-Regis Foote and Edward Domineske, journeyed to Syracuse to participate in the Annual Missions Oratorical Contest. Others took part in debates on questions of present day importance such as Should Military Training Be Continued After the War? and Should 18 Year Olds Be Allowed to Vote? In this, its inaugural year, the Discussion Club has achieved a large measure of success, both in the interest of its members and in the educational benefits derived. Although it is restricted to the two upper classes, we feel that it will be regarded as an essential part of St. Mary's curriculum. Left to right: W. Heim, R. Foote, R. Martin, E. Domineske, T.

Proud and excited we sang, The Beauti- ful Hands of a Priest, and, Say a Prayer for the Boys Over There. We were off at a flying start. After a short resting spell young throats were at it again. Practices seemed very annoy- ing, but a picture in the year book proved an alluring bait. At our second appearance the Glee Club rendered two colorful songs, Jubilee Greetings to Father Horan, words by Sr. Theresia and the touching lyric, Forget Me N ot, by Bond. This appearance received great commendation from those present, for indeed the clear and sonorous voices blended well and gave a colorful effect. We had scarcely put aside our gowns before the Senior Play loomed up. The seniors proved very successful, but the Glee Club was not to be surpassed and gave lifeto the lovely old melody, The Two Clocks and feeling to the hymn, The Cross and The Flag. - J Finally June arrived and a decided improvement had been made. We then sang the beau- tiful melodies, Fireflies by Paul Bliss, Sleep Little Goldenhead by J. McGruer, and The Song of Courage by Palmer Clark. We ended our successful year with the heart touching Star Spangled Banner. Thus ended the year of 1944. 'k201l' Midi N We, the Senior Class, in seeking a comparison for that final, crowning W Q achievement of our school years-graduation-find only one. Only one previous incident seems to reflect all the glory and joy we are experiencing. Without appearing presumptuous, we liken our happiness to that of Our Blessed Mother's Coronation in heaven. Although realizing that no earthly award could ever compete with the divine, we, nevertheless, are drawn closer to Mary by a mutual bond of accomplishment. 21 'k22'k IN DAYS GUNE BY September 1940 . . .
