Ckicago ' .gfgnoc 3 In days of old, so we are told, Knights lived in castles, guarded by a wide, deep moat of fetid water, entered by a portcullis or drawbridge which was a welcome mat only for one's friends. Here in the castle the future Knight would be reared for a time. The young boy would grow to graceful manhood under the personal care of his father and with the help of a skillful tutor, often a resi- dent priest who would teach him the laws and love of God along with the polite learning of the languages and arts. When the boy was old enough, he would live in the house of some other lord as page, learning how to conduct himself in polite society. Then fol- lowed a military training in arms and horsemanship during which he was called a squire. Finally, after years of training and a whole night spent before the Blessed Sacrament in prayer, the young squire was made a Knight. Knightly conduct, or chivalry, called for the observance and enforcement of laws, and the protection of the weak and oppressed. But it was especially in defending him- self and in enlarging his domains that the Knight showed his legendary boldness. ln childhood days we were baptized. In a Christian family, secured by parental love from the influences of evil, we grew up to young manhood. Having received the Sacrament of Confirmation, we knew we were to be Christ's soldiers, so we began our intel- lectual apprenticeship at our Knight school, St. Mel. Sophomore pages, we even learned something of military tactics as R.O.T.C. cadets. As iuniors, we moved to the Main Building as squires. Com- pleting our studies now, and especially prepared to live a Christian life in a world which knows little of our gallant chivalry, each of us of the Class of 1950 comes forth to be dubbed .14 Ar Ckridf 7-34, .

Besides the National Basketball Championship, the hard- wood game gives us two seconds in the National Competition, three Heavyweight and three Light- weight City Championships, besides many sectional titles. Three football sectional titles, two city swim- ming titles, two city tennis crowns, and several box- ing awards are commemorated in gold or silver. Hopes are that in the next few years a number of additions will be ioined to the already impressive set of trophies. The attainment of these trophies, as also the winning of new ones, is the result of phy- sical prowess, careful coaching, and long hours of practice. Samples of this training are Dennis Horan, football captain and bas- ketball co-captain, and James Rudd, captain of the senior track team as well as Observer New Editor. Both these boys, as countless other athletes, are among the scholastic lead- ers of the school.

Sur- rounded by four bleak walls for years of apprenticeship the young squire was impatient to go out and make his way in the world of adventure and danger. Cf course, the castle was not a prison of unrelieved gloom. Art and friendship made the years delightful, so once Knighted he was sorry to leave though glad to go. Training for Christian Knighthood is not less exacting. Disciplined for four years, the young Melman is impatient to face the life which he feels could not possibly be beyond the strength of his powers and vigor. Yet his school years are not all unpleasantg close friendships call him back as he a little reluctantly leaves the school for his work as .!4J5nigLf for Czriaf -. 3, gn., K: f E 0fAQI fling irecfor A pioneer in the development of musical organizations in the Chicago Catholic high schools, Brother Basil was soon called to higher posts. St. Mel's Director has experience as Director of four other schools over a period of twenty years, including St. Patrick's and De La Salle of Chicago. Such familiarity with the problems besetting Chicago youth makes him expertly qualified to guide the formation of the St. Mel Knights.

To learn religious principles as well, we choose to support o private school by our tuition iust as we support the public schools with our taxation. Religion includes the doctrines of the Church, right conduct, Church ceremonies, the life of Jesus, the history of the Church, the Encyclicals, and life prob- lems. We are also given frequent occasions to frequent the Sacraments, and say at least a short prayer every half-hour.

The hard part is putting back into words the shorthand notes we took in dictation. Plenty of practice makes us good at both. Once like all high schools, St. Mel was almost exclusively a Commercial Academy. Nowadays about 40 per cent of the Seniors are in either the Secretarial or General Commercial Courses. Both groups are carefully trained for business, but the General group is given more immediate preparation for employment while the Secretarial Course usu- ally looks ahead to further schooling after high school. Informed by commercialists of an open field for male secre- taries, they spend long hours mastering the Gregg symbols and become well-trained in Stenography. At the present time the valuable skill of typewriting is only available to Commercial students, but plans seem underway to allow an increasing number to benefit by this necessary training, which is nearly indispensable in many types of work, and helpful in almost all. Brother Eugene, with forty years' experience of teaching in the Commercial field is dean of this section, while Mr. Bowler, who began teaching here twenty years ago, teaches Bookkeeping and Brother Bernard handles Stenography. Mathematics of some kind is es- sential in every field of instruction and in every walk of life. A wide variety of courses are offered at St. Mel. All students take at least three years of Math adapted to their par- ticular course of studies. Here Fred Laccabue explains a theorem from solid geometry, the most advanced course, to Harry Bardwell and Don- ald Baumgartner. Bookkeeping forms an impor- tant part of our training for out- ol-school life, Gerald Graham and Frank Lentine look puzzled now, though. Theodore Kuby seems to have met his Waterloo as Pat Napoleon finishes a little Shorthand message. Complicated worksheets take a lot of time and patient effort, but orderly business could not be done without them. Donald Wood in the rear, Don- ald Crowder, Arthur Jesse, Jerome Bednarkiewicz, and Thomas Bar- nicle strive for accuracy in their first year of typing. Next year, like Donald Feist and Frank Kennedy, standing, and John Fisherkeller, Paul St. Laurent, and Philip Deike they can concentrate on speed.

Here George Jerz helps Anthony Rufiolo diagram one of his complicated sentences. Diagramming helps the students see the purpose of each word in the sentence and its relation to the others. Top Right: Learning coniugations and declensions is an- other difficult thing at the beginning of foreign language study, but here Joseph Burianek seems to need very little prompting from John Sweeney to conjugate the subiunctive imperfect passive of a rather complex word. Norbert Talend dares him to try pronouncing all those syllables. Lower Left: Stanley Sierocinski and Lawrence O'Connor try to figure out just what was the relation of Venus to Aeneas in preparation for an examination in third year Latin. Lower Right: Joseph Pavila, William Murphy, Stanley Waida, and Alan Benning struggle through the hard- est part of Latin, the first year's drills on nouns and verbs. 24 as- S s S A f :,j,Kx.kQA.

,X 9 1 N 0 O The ancient Knights could not spend all their time at war, but many of their leisure habits, such as hunting and riding and fencing kept up their warlike habits. Pleasure and profit, too, led to mental activities, such as the gentle songs of the troubadours, or the writings of the clerks. Piety led to religious devotions and pilgrimages, especially the great Crusades. f .'Z7 J ,X www Q...-ffffj .1401 iui f iefi We modern Knights prefer to cultivate rather the diffi- cult arts of peace than the brusque arts of war. We give expression to our religious feelings in the A.D.C., in the Benildus Club, or at the shrine of Our Lady. We spread abroad the truth in our iournalistic work.

Brother Bernard, Moderator, directing, Song has been since the origin of man's history the expression of inner gladness of the heart. Music is infectious, it makes others catch something of our ioy. This is no doubt the reason for the name Glee Club, since their result, as well as their purpose, is to scatter delight among their auditors. Long hours of practice assure accuracy of rendition, fine quality of tone, and perfect har- mony within and between the various sections of the Club. Ap- pearances with the Band at the Christmas and Spring Concerts, as well as guest artists at various girls' high schools, bring the choral group to the stage on several occasions. The variety and perfection of their performances is a tribute to the experience and interest of Brother Bernard, Moderator. 50 Row T: W. Clair, W. Trebaticky, R. Mergener, T. McCarville, C. Freda, R.

St. Mel, since it is preparing us for life, helps us develop ourselves in the line of partial self-government. We can not try to usurp the authority of the faculty or the ad- ministration, but we make laws for the good of the students and represent the opinions of the student body to our Moderator, Brother Conrad. The Officers of the Senior Class join with one elected member from each homeroom to make up the group. Chief proiect of the group this year was the writing of a constitution for its own guidance, since this is the first year that the entire school was invited to send representatives. 51 Ong 0lfU f5 afl6! .NCLFLI L Q M9 jk? O fiefllel' The Observer, St. Mel's student newspaper is published almost monthly for the Knights' information and pleasure. Excellent photography, through the co-operation of Ebert Studio, ioined with exceptional art-work give the paper an attractive format. Care- ful editing makes for precise information, stylistic writing, flawless English, and student interest. The editorial staff spends unbelievably long hours at what is often an ungrateful task.

No one ever got around to a second one till Brother Basil, Mr. Connolly, the Senior Council, Brother Gerardus, and the maiority of the student body chose l95O as the year to revive the tradition. Co-operation for a common cause, one of the most valuable traits we can develop for after-lite, made this venture an outstanding suc- cess. Teachers bore heroically the interruptions caused, and students had faith enough to support a project which has now become a brilliant success. Continued co-operation will bring out the next Knight in 7951, not 7972 as on the old schedule. 53 QW elo padded lairifzi of .gzwllenf godly At the first United Nations Meeting at Lake Success, a handful ot Communists started a riot by clapping for all Molotov's words.

War itself stressed the co-opera- tion of these trained individuals for a common purpose. Clad in special mail, his very visage obscured in an odd- looking hauberk, the Knight was identified to his fellows by his colors or those of his fair lady, something to represent the cause he was fighting for. Man's life, says the Bible, is a war, so the twentieth century Knight prepares himself in athletics, gruelling tests of personal stamina. Team games develop social skills, unity of purpose with other skilled associates. Clad in the uniform of his sport, his very name replaced by a number and the colors of the school he is representing, the Knight learns on the gridiron, on the court, on the track or in the ring how in daily life to be .!4.j61i9Lf!or Klriaf I i Z QW f..

The courage and humility needed to face the prospect of frequent defeat is indeed admirable, but it ought not to be the normal situation. In the last three years definite efforts have been made to remedy this state of affairs. This year's squad, outweighed by every competitor, climbed from the cellar to sixth place in the section. Paced by Frank Tenerello, unanimous choice for Most Valuable Player, and sparked by Captain Dennis Horan, the Grid Knights won two of seven league games and lost a third only through iniuries. Eleven returning letter- men, six of them regulars, have proved in spring practice and scrimmages that this fall the Knights will be very hard to beat and may easily break into a high place in the upper division. Don Storto was chosen for the 1949 New World First Team, while Second Team laurels went to Joe Prusinski, Dennis Horan, Frank Tenerello and Ronnie Mayor. 70 f. mf 51...f........ f1f...,f4..ff 5',....

The above drawing is a sample of the wonderful work done in the Art Club, in this case by Joe Flynn. This beautiful picture in colored chalk and countless others in ink, chalk, and art pencils insured student backing at games. The Band with its marching made half-time pass quickly and enjoyably. The Pep Club kept cheering enthusiastic and amused spectators by such antics as the sham battle between the Knight and Dragon shown below. Others co-operating in promoting football en- thusiasm were Monogram Club ticketsellers, the Fathers and Friends Club, and the Observer publicity department. 3.

Frank Tenerello was the Catholic League's second highest scorer in the lightweight division, while Tom Bettis kept his name in the top ten of the heavies during most of th ' ' ' e season. Dan Sullivan, missing from the heavy- weight picture, is the only Senior on the teams except for the Co-Captains. Jcziglzfa of flue .jslarclwood af MAJ Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Mel Four basketball teams representing the St. Mel Knights in Chicago prep athletic circles from November to March have behind them a glorious tradition of Alumni achievements. Once National Champions and twice runners-up, nearly ten times City or Catholic League Champs, often section leaders, St. Mel teams have always been of the best. Two head Coaches of League teams and two Assistant Coaches are Alumni. St. Mel has considered basketball its favorite sport because its two gyms are always at hand while the nearest football practice field is a half- mile away, and our home field is three miles away. Excitement and cheering, too, reach a higher degree in gymnasium games where the close- ness of rival cheering stands is second only to the game on the floor. Head basketball coach, Johnny Dee, is a Chicago boy, an All-City athlete of Loyola Academy's I942 North Section Champions, was an All- American at Notre Dame University. Coaching the B squads is John Bowler, veteran of twenty Catholic League seasons. Himself a player with the lronmen of Old St. Patrick's, Coach Bowler has been grammar school coach, head coach, and assistant in his many years of loyal service to St. Mel students. On the opposite page an interesting cross-view of some of the activ- ities involved in the skillful and strenuous game of basketball are captured by the photographer.

The bantams did better than the .500 record of the tiies, winning nearly all of their games. Three ot the Sophomores and two Freshmen saw service with the heavies. Many of the members of both squads may be valuable re- serves for the senior squads next year. 76 L sz ',y, .

Div- ing seemed our strongest point this year. T. Bender, R. Stygar, R. Do- lan, J. Harte were most often praised. St. Mel's pride and ioy is its de- fending City Championship tennis team, which has held the city title for five consecutive years. Tennis has always been a big thing here. First City Champs in l925, that year's Captain, Emmet Pare, was later National Clay Court Cham- pion and now coaches tennis at Tulane University. All but one of the netters shown here had older brothers on championship teams I so victory is in their blood this 1950. 78 1 iff X! s..
