Qa6'c1z'ion TO MARY IMMACULATE 1' Queen of the Armed Forces of America, Christie dear Mother and Ours, we lovingly dedicate our Year Book. 1 if ,M OZZWO? WE HAVE completed the most important training period for our future lives, and sincerely cherish the precious lessons We have learned from our dear Alma Mater. As we step into the cockpit of the plane of the future, we stop to look at the weather report of past years. Wliat will the result be? Much depends on what We have already accomplished in the classroom. Our priests and teachers have endeavored to impart to us the ennobling principles of Catholic teaching. It will now become our duty to live up to the Wise counsels they have inculcated. Progressing along our destined way, the memory of the happy years spent at St. Michael High School will be an incentive to spur us on to noble endeavor. 1942 Mefmje of Qdflifdk WE, THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1942, take this occasion to extend our sincere appreciation to those who have made our education at Saint Michael High School possible. To our parents, for their love and devotion, their sacrilice of time and energy, in the hope that some day we might realize what they have done for us. It is difhcult to express our deepest thoughtsg but we want them to know that every day each one of us breathes this prayer: Thank You, dear God, for giving me the sweetest mother and the grandest dad in the world. To our Pastor and his zealous assistants, who have guided us along youth's tangled pathway, showing us our duties to God, neighbor and self. May their labors not prove in vain. To the nuns, who have led us along the toilsome path of learning, we owe a debt money cannot pay. But we know that their labors will be rewarded if we put into practice the lessons they have instilled into our youthful minds. To all-parents, priests, and teachers, both in the grades and the high school, we can only say, A'May God bless you for all you have done for us.

During the l'our years spent within the walls of dear old St. Michaels, every effort has been made to form your characters and enlighten your minds accord- ing to the true standards of Christ. The attention ol' the entire parish is centered upon the Gradu- ates. The Congregation has made many sacrifices to help you acquire this Christian Education. In the coming years, their attention will still be een- tered upon you. Therefore, when the world and its standards will be placed before you-stand firm to the principles of Christ and His religion. Then, and only then, will they see that your Christian education has been a success. May God bless you on this great occasion. May His blessing remain with you every day. Rev. Benedict Huck, C.P. how that school doors .uc closed, tcac icrs' voices but a memory and books shelved, you stand on the verge ol' a new lile. As your eyes take in the length and the breadth, many thoughts will crowd your tnindsg anxieties, perplexities, ambitions: right and wrong: justice and injustice. Fortunately, with your background of Catholic thouglu, you will be made to realize that you belong to that kingly priesthood of which St. Paul spoke when addressing all his faithful, and the late Holy Father Pope, Pitts XI. used to im- press the pilgrints who visited him during the Holy Year. XVith this thought in mind, let me congratulate you on yottr perseverance in a Catholic atmos- phere. on your successful achievement and your splendid good will in all undertakings lor the tnaintenance ol' an institution that prides itsell' in ollering to a public, men and women of char- acter, ol' faith and justice. May God speed you in your field ol' labor, and may His light shine upon all your deeds. Rev. XfVendelin Meis, C.P Another class leaving St. Michael High School makes us, your priests, mighty proud. You have gained much in your years at our High School. What you have gained. do not lose. You are fac- ing a hard and trottbled world, but the Catholic training you have received should help you sur- mount any dilliculty a world that is pagan can place in yottr path to eternity. yVe ask one favor ol you. the greatest favor and token ol' your grati- tude yott could possibly give tts. lt is this-be Catholic ladies and gentlemen every moment ol' your lives. In this we shall know that our pride in you is justified. Sincerely and from my heart I say: Cod bless each of you and grant you every success in life. Rev. YValter XVynn. C.P. , 'I My dear Graduates, herein lies one of the chief purposes of your Catholic Education: not merely to train a line memory, but to teach you how to think for yourself, when and how to criticize. that you may be able to distinguish truth from falsehood for your own guidance and salvation. Your Alma Nlater has supplied you with the only complete philosophy of life to be found in a crumbling society. lt has taught you how to ttse and how to respect your highest faculties of intellect and free will: and above all. how to honor their Author. God Himself. On this day of achievement and success. it is with senti- ments of satisfaction and pride that we oller our cordial congratulations to you, the Graduates of 1912! You have made a good start. May this be but the fair morning that ushers in a splendid day of life-long accomplishment and success, bringing honor to your deserving parents. your devoted teachers, your Holy Mother, the Church. As you leave St. Michael High School, our continued interest and our sincerest wishes go with each one of you. We shall be always glad to hear from you, always glad to welcome you, glad to help you in any possible way. So in parting, we say to each, May God be always with you. Rev. Harold l'oletti. CLP.

Stay with us, help us, Thou strength of the weak. When foes wage upon us on life's battlefield, With destiny uncertain, with courage nigh goneg If Thou art our Leader, we never will yield, Till victory is ours and the battle's won. What difference if snow-clad mountains entice, Or deep, melancholy valleys dishearten the way? Each mountain and valley, with consecrated device, Shall aid us greatly in facing each new day. For Thou art all kind and forgiving, O Heart of our Saviour Divine! All praise and all thanksgiving, Through endless ages be Thine. Anna Mae Grzeczka, '42 Rita Feldmeier, '42 the Graduates A time will come in your lives just as it came in the life of Cardinal Newman when he Wrote his Lead Kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom . Dear Graduates, may the bea- con light of your faith shine brightly and beckon you to the side of your Leader when doubts assail you. Since faith has been the cornerstone of your school life, our fondest hope for you is that Lord, increase my faith, may be the theme song of your lives. May you watch God's hand etch- ing His pattern' on the clear crystal of your soul with complete trust in His Divine Plan.

As the Seniors of forty-two, We'd like you all to hear Some of the things we're sure to miss During the coming year. We'll miss the bell which rang at nine Even though We weren't on timeg We're sure to miss our Religion class, Since it came first, instead of last: Then our history will be missed at ten Because of our study of famous men. Most of all, we'll miss our Gym Our activity in it has made some thing And, of course, we'll miss our typing stampede And our shorthand, which is easy to readg Next, we'll miss our English, too, One class that never was blue. Then there's Bookkeeping we're sure to miss, It's really a prime favorite on the listg We're sure to miss teachers, one and all, When we no longer tread these halls. We'll miss the many hours we spent, During which time a helping hand was lent. And, of course, we'll miss the good-looking girls Who were noted for their styles and their curlsg Now, at last, we'll miss our boys: All of which we became accustomed to In the year nineteen hundred and forty-two.

We are living in an age of materialism and paganism. Our nation is leading a struggle to save Christian civiliza- tion, but our struggle will be futile if we fail to attain at home what we are lighting to save abroad. Our forefathers defended for us and be- queathed to us freedom of conscience, freedom of the press and the right to happiness. We unanimously agree that freedomof conscience is the cornerstone which upholds our national structure. Religion is essential to democracy, for it is the sole champion of the dignity and the sanctity of the individual. Since religion is the rampart of democracy, how may the status of our own government be viewed from this angle of observation? It is true that we have been guaranteed freedom of religion, but we find our America far more pagan than Christian. Hence, if we are to help save civilization abroad, we HIUSI first save it at home. And how can we begin saving our demo- cracy? First, by reading Catholic newspapers, which form the best and most widely circu- lated vehicle for diffusing and promoting Christian ideals. Today the Catholic Press is more neces-.ary for Catholics than ever before. A Catholic will fall an easy victim to his worst enemies if he does not strengthen his mind and will by the knowledge and the enthusiasm derived from good Catholic literature. Since our enemies are subtle and well prepared, we must be deep-rooted in the knowledge gained from an intelligent reading of good Catholic books, periodicals and newspapers. Here the Church has never failed to pro- vide a solution to every human difficulty. From the days of pagan Rome she has fought and conquered World powers in their battle against the Kingdom of God. This knowledge and enlightenment of the children of her fold dates back to the early days of Christianity. Our forefathers worked continually to benefit mankind by the printed and the spoken work. As Catholic students, we can assist the Church by reading Catholic literature and encouraging others to do so. John Janas, '42 1942 The Apostle of Americo: y In most of the older countries and conti- nents of the world, the inhabitants of a coun- try honor one of the saints who has spent l1is life in ministering to them and guiding them, by calling him Apostle , Thus, St. Patrick is the Apostle of Irelandg St. Francis Xavier, the Apostle of India. But America, newest among the continents, and the United States, with her democratic principles of government and her citizens of many nationalities, has no recognized Apostle! And America needs an Apostle! But although few people stop to recognize the fact, America has an Apostle. In ages past, the apostle of a country was one who saved that country from a terrible scourge, disease, famine or conquest, and then converted the pagan people to Christianity. Since the days of the early colonists, America has claimed to be a Christian nation, but dur- ing the past decade she has shown that she is rapidly falling back into paganism. America needs an apostle, not to convert, but to reawaken the Christian spirit in the When you and I were young .... I can't remember to forget.. YVe'll never forget ..........

American people. The man attempting that tremendous undertaking in our day is Mon- signor Fulton Sheen. His voice is as the voice of the Baptist in the days preceding the public life of our Savior-the voice of one crying in the wilderness of sin and crime: but his message will not go unheeded. Already many have hearkened to his eloquent appeal to return to the teachings of Christ's Church. The seed of the Gospel he has been sowing in his weekly broadcasts will not all be trampled under footg neither will it be scattered on the rocky cliffs of indifference. Some of it, like the seed cast by the Divine Sower, is already bear- ing fruit a hundredfold. Eternity alone will revpal the good resulting from his apostolic zea . The Kingdom of God and His justice will be restored on earth when men restore God to His rightful place. By his eloquence and his writings, Newman solved this problem for his generation. Today, Americas Apostle is mak- ing the same appeal by means of the micro- phone. Mercedes Amrhein, '42 Smiles and Trials .,...F7'l'SfINI!'ll , ....

To Father Wfendelin, Father Wztlter and Father Harold, we offer our sincere thanks for their spiritual guidance in the various activities. To the Faculty, the Sisters of St. Francis, we owe a grateful remembrance of their patience and kindly interest in our welfare. To the Juniors, we bequeath the dignity of Seniors and all the privileges attached thereto. To the Sophomores, we leave the great desire to occupy a certain classroom on the second floor and the right to prepare for the Junior Prom. To the Freshman girls goes the privilege ol developing their basketball ability for the varsityg to the boys, the opportunity of carrying on the glory of the Mustangs.

Margaret Krappweis, '42 Margaret Schneider, '42 1942 Captain's room to find his visiting buddies, Pilots Earl Augustine and William Zink, look- ing very natty in their uniforms and busily devouring all of George's candy, in spite of his noisy protests. She dismisses the two trou- blemakers with an angry gesture, and they go laughing down the corridor, ready for some other victim. While talking to the Captain, the visitors learned that the world's greatest collaborators, Mr. Robert Czarniewski and Mr. Walter John- son were also visiting Captain Mahoney, and so decide to visit them at their penthouse apartment. Mr. Czarniewski and Mr. Johnson are the greatest wits of the age. They write and produce their own radio showg they write the songs that their orchestra features: and Hollywood is offering a fabulous salary for them to write a movie scenario. The visitors are greeted with an unusual barrage of ques- tions, and heartily enjoy their visit. When the coach returns to his hotel, he is met by The Times sports reporter and com- mentator, john -Ianas. After the reporter's curiosity is satisfied, he hurries back to his paper to write up the interview. The next morning the team arrives at the station for their return to college. Because of the efficiency of their cab driver, they arrive early, just as the 8:45 train is pulling in. Sev- eral noted passengers disembark. Among them are Colonel and Mrs. Southley, wealthy own- ers of a large plantation in Virginia. Mrs. Southley is the former Miss Selma Wild of Pittsburgh, who has come to New York to visit her friend, Miss Evelyn Holland, now secretary to Mr. David Rockefeller, and to have Miss Lois Staab, America's foremost milli- ner, design some new spring hats for her. The State Supreme Court Reporter, Mr. Robert Gatz, who is considered to be the speediest shorthand writer in America, has returned with the Southleys from a southern vacation. The crew of the 9:10 train are standing in a group discussing the small talk of the day. The crew is none other than Miss Bernice Jen- kins, engineerg Miss Anna Marie Kuchta, fire- mang and Miss Anna Mae Grzeczka, brakeman, all of whom have been holding their jobs since their graduation in '42. As a sideline they own and operate the High and Dry Exclusive Boarding School for Girls in Arizona. At present, the school is in the capable hands of Miss Marie Salava. Engineer Jenkins is telling her crew about the marvelous ornamental glass clipper ship she has received as a birthday gift from Miss Irene Doerschner, whose fame as a glass blower is world-wide. Fireman Kuchta gives a report of the delicious lunches served by Shaller's Cafe, where Miss Bertha Shaller now acts as proprietress and bartender. A newsboy comes by, and Fireman Grzeczka buys a paper. On the Grst page are pictures of two familiar faces. The article is titled lVest- inghouse Research Scientists Discover New Element. The pictures are those of Mr. An- thony Paga, and Elizabeth Kraemer, who, by the way, is also coach of the fast-stepping, champion Westinghouse Girls' Basketball Team. just as the train is about to pull out of the station, the wail of a fire siren becomes audi- ble and the Ere chief's car pulls to a stop. Chief Emma Hunger has used her official pres- tige to get her two visiting friends, Miss Rita Ernst, an exceptionally capable bricklayer, and Miss Antonnette Dunsky, an expert Welder, to the station in time to board the St. Michael Flyer , best equipped and fastest train in the Pennsylvania System. As the last sounds of the train die away, the writer returns to the earth of 1942, with a wish granted. Mercedes Amrhein, '42 Alma Mater Dear Alma Mater, To you we'll always be true. For we shall never forget The courage you gave us to smile, In spite of sorrowg To continue in spite of fears. You taught us the meaning of Charity, Honor and Service. And now we pause with grateful hearts To whisper a fond farewell. Rita Ernst, '42 Antonnette Dunsky, '42 Log of the Good Ship SL Michael SEPTEMBER 2-The Senior Ship put out to sea.

NVe've left the grade school, and are now Freshies in St. Michael High. Shortly after school opened we had the priv- ilege of making a retreat given by Rev. Father N ilus, C.P. VVho can forget the thrill that wearing our uniforms for the first time gave us, or the disappointment many of us experienced when we failed in our Hrst Latin Exam? 1'Ve almost forgot Initiation Day. Frightened by the stories told us by older students, we marched to the auditorium with quaking hearts. But every Freshie survived the ordeal, and some of us began planning what fun we would have with the newcomers the following September. The year passed rapidly, hnal exams were hnished, and we were ready for a long vaca- tion before staging our second act. Rosemary Bittel, '42 TIME: 1939-1940 PLACE: Sophomore Room 102 One year gone and three more to go! lille now number forty. New studies to worry over -German, geometry, keep us stepping. As guests of the junior Class, we visited the Heinz Company plant, and also enjoyed see- ing the movie, Young Tom Edison. Our Valentine Social earned us many com- pliments. A retreat at the end of the season was given by Father Christopher, C.P. Two students, who were members of the orchestra and the band, left to study for the priesthood at Dun- kirk, New York. A happy and gay Sophomore group ended this hard second year with a picnic at South Park. Ruth May, '42 PTIMI-ZZ 1940-1941 Pisxtzizz Junior Room 201 Mfell, here it is September again. Wle are now Juniors, thirty-six in number, having lost four members during the summer. We shall never forget our first shorthand lesson, or the first time we tried to type. The year began with a retreat. It was con- ducted by Rev. Father Paschal, C. P. During the year we had the privilege of going on several field trips and attending so- cials held by the different classes. According to custom, we held a prom to- wards the end of May in honor of the grad- uates. On graduation day, We juniors, robed in caps and gowns of our school colors, had the honor of escorting the Seniors to Church. Three years have passed so quickly that it seems but a few days ago that we walked into the high school building for the first time. Lois Staab, '42 TIME: 1941-1942 1'1.Aei1: Senior Room 202 Seniors! the word still fascinates us. What would this last year bring with it? No doubt, many happy daysg but would there not be hard ones also? 1fVe started the year off with a wonderful retreat conducted by Rev. Father Raphael, C.l'. This retreat, the last of our school life, will long be remembered. The month of January brought us news that was good as well as bad. Our star trumpe- ter, Private Louis McCarthy, left for the Marines to help Uncle Sam beat the -laps. Some of the highlights of the Senior year were the purchase of our School Rings, taking over The Michaelinian and The Shield, and preparing for the great and eventful day . . . Graduation. Soon we 111l1SL bid farewell to our teachers and fellow students. The purpose of our four years at St. Michael High has been intended to prepare us for what we must inevitably face-a world that will be interested in us only insofar as we contribute to its progress. The care and the personal attention that have been showered on us must now give way to a cold, disinterested attitude on the part of those with whom we must Fight, shoulder to shoulder, in the years that now lie ahead of us. Elizabeth Kielar, '42 1942 Mercedes Amrhein heads our class, Betty Keiler wants to be a nurse, Our Year Book NVhy have a year book? Need the days that are past be forgotten? Can we recall our youth and forget the happy days that once were ours? Indeed not! We Seniors are going to review over and over again the treasured memories in everyone's life-school days. After graduation we shall part, each wending his way on life's various paths. How, then, shall we recall our happy school days at St. Michael's? Five, ten, or more years hence, hours of loneliness will not appear so long if we keep our Annual of '42 among our trophies of the p2iSt. What happy memories it will bring! Reminiscences of happy events will come tumbling from the shelf of memory to present themselves once more. So we Seniors hereby vow to cherish our year book-to keep it as one of our most valuable possessions. X'Ve're going to read it again, and stay young at heart in the memory of our happiest days-our school days! Robert Catz, '42 Sidelights of Senior Girls First in all lc,.,ons is this lass.

Our Annual Retreat 'l'here is no painter, there is no sculptor nor artist. be he who he may, that can com- pare to the man who knows ltow to lorm the minds and the hearts ol' youth. lVilh all sin- cerity may we, dear Father Raphael apply these words ol one ol' the Church's famous Fathers, Saint Alohn Chrysostom, to you, who. in so Christlike a manner conducted our an- nual retreat. For three days our books and all thoughts ol' study were forgotten. On God alone our thoughts were riveted, to Him we talked. XVe listened lor the answer to the question for which everyone who makes a retreat listens: How do I rate with You, dear God? For many ol' us Seniors. perhaps, this was to be our last retreat. ll this were to be my last retreat, how then would l make it? each asked himself. .Xttentively for three days we listened to Father's wholesome instructions and to the spiritual reading in the class rooms. Having resolved to overcome some lault or to practice some particular virtue, and alter receiving the Papal Blessing, our happy hearts sang out the praise ol' our Creator in the glorious hymn, Holy God, we praise Thy Name. O Cod! Grant. Thy servant, Father Raphael, a long lile upon this earth, that he may win lor Thee an ever greater number ol souls. May he win lor Thee the minds and the hearts ol' youth. Robert Gatz, '42 Rl11Xf. Hl'INRY VlE1 l'l'fR, C.P. Cur Missionary St. Michael School is unusually favored in having many ol her students enrolled among the followers of St. Patil of the Cross. Of these, three brothers-Reverend Fathers Ar' nold, Matthew and Henry Vetter, are now laboring in the colored mission field. Father Arnold and Father Henry are actively en- gaged in Ensley, Alabama, while Father Mat- thew, a twin brother of the latter is in Chi' cago, busily promoting the work of the other two. Father Henry recently paid his Alma Mater a visit and gave the students an account ol' the various activities ol Holy Family parish. ln a population ol' practically lour times as many white people as colored, there are seven Catholic churches, only two ol' which care for Negroes. The white people ol' that section are indil'l'erent to the field now ripe for the har- vest ol soulsg but nothing daunts the brave souls ol these Passionist missionaries. They have built a beautilul church, established an- other mission, opened a medical clinic, and have about three hundred children enrolled in their little tutnbledown school, which they hope soon to replace by a modest, but upeto- date school. During the past year we have tried to do our share in assisting this noble cause, spir- itually and linancially. X'Vhile our contribu- tions have been small, they are helping to bring about the realization of Father I-Ienry's dream-a school lor Catholic children built by children.

A11Lh0ny Pagu, H1 SPQDLHTS STATES 'Y 'Q' ff sw FIDEU5 xxx 1942 Mustang Parade St. Michael High Rates Second Place-A high- ly underrated team to feature in the 1942 campaign were the Mustangs of St. Michael High School, who surprised even the sport writers of Pittsburgh newspapers by wind- ing up in second place. The following are brief accounts made of the season's league games: St. Michael's Victor-Invading the court of their first year, first game opponents, St. Michaels rolled up a score of' 34 points, while St. VVendelin's scored only 12. Paga tallied 16 of the victor's points. Mustangs Trot On-ln their hrst home game of the '42 season, the Mustangs pulled ahead of St. Thomas, Braddock, to gain a 28-22 de- cision. Lease was the sparkplug of the home lC?llll. St. Mary's Gverrated-St. Marys, a highly rated five, bowed before St. Michael's to the tune of 30-15. Mention of Our Freddy is made, who sparked the victors by scoring 8 points. A Date With St. Joseph's-Saturday, -Iann- ary 17, St. Michael's entered Natrona to strive for their fourth consecutive victory. George Mahoney presented a bouquet of 17 points to the defeated. Four and One-North of Troy Hill handed the Mustangs their first setback of the season in a closely contested battle. The outcome showed the North Catholic boys victorious by a 5-point margin. When Neighbors Meet-The court of St. Casimir's was entered by the Mustangs with a high regard for the neighborly five, who scored a decisive upset in the Catholic league last year. An 8-point victory for St. Michaels netted in the final results. The Fall of the Irish-With Augustine lead- ing the tnarch, the lrishtnen of St. James, Wfestz End, were handed their first defeat of tl1e season. A margin of 9 points was the outcome. We Meet Again-St. Micltael's visited Brad- dock for their second meeting with St. Thomas. Not satisfied with their first. efforts, the Mustangs doubled the final results to a win of 23-1 1. George Mahoney Sparkplug-XV ith the Irish on our side, the St. Mary, Sharpsburg, boys dropped a thriller, after leading t.he first half of the game. Of course George ran true to form in a 28-23 win. Reserves Enter Lineup-ln the second meet- ing with their South Side neighbors, the reserves of St. Michaels received their in- augural. They remained to see the last of 38 points scored against St. Casimir's 22. Carrick Proves Strong-St. YVendelin's team showed their zip in this fray by holding St. Michael's to a nip-and-tuck first half. The Mustangs, awakened from their nighttnare, advanced their winnings to ten games by a 38-25 decision. A Return Engagement-Inspired by their pre- vious loss to the Mustangs, St. .Ioseph's, Natrona, tried to avenge their earlier defeat: but they were short 4 points at the final whistle. The outcome: we, 335 they, 29. North Triumps Over Mustangs-In their sec- ond meeting with the Trojans of North Catholic, the Mustangs suffered the loss of the Catholic League sectional lead. Twenty- three fouls accounted for, in part, the 39-18 loss of this encounter. All's Well That Ends Well-St. Michaels fin- ished the season with a 32-21 victory over St. James of VVest End, bringing them to a second-place rating in their section of the league. Magnificent teamwork sparked the Mustangs throughout the entire contest. We Thank all teams who encountered St. Michael's for their good will and sportsman- ship. To North Catholic, we offer congratu- lations on winning the Diocesan champion- ship. Finis-Ending a very successful SCZISOH, the Mustangs chalked up a total of 540 points to their opponents' 428. Although the boys tallied many points, their goal was not achieved. These records show that St. Mich- ael's were out for victory. 1942 1' A TRIBUTE To Father Walter XVynn, OP., Director of Athletics, and to Coach Howard QHowdyj Ruppen, Saint Michaels slow but steady rise once more to the heights in the sport world, which she formerly held, is mainly due. Both ol' these men, working hand in hand for our school, have succeeded in overcoming serious obstacles in their effort to give her success in this, as in other lines ol' endeavor. Starting from almost. nothing in the way of material. a promising group ol' candidates for basketball had been assembled. During the past. year, this team was dominated by a spirit hard to beat, and the cohorts ol the Blue and Gold emerged with great success. A word of gratitude is also due to Assistant Coach jack Jenkins, and to Student Manager XValter X'Vichmanowski, for the services they have rendered. Edwin Kaczmarek, V12 GIRLS' SPORTS Hard luck seems to have accompanied the Girls' Basketball team this season. The girls seemed to have achieved success other years. but this year Lady Luck deserted them. They were victorious in but one game. lnnumer- able times they were very close to winning, but lost only by a one or two-point lead of their opponents. CHEERLEADERS Mary jane XVerthman Ruth Bushmeiet Mildred Bertel joan Mathias Margaret Schneider Rita Ernst OUR ADVISORY BOARD Success has crowned the ellorts ol' Saint Michael Athletic Association to achieve tl1e proper coordination ol' athletics with other phases ol' high school lile. XVhile accomplish- ment on the lloor is nowhere sought more earnestly than at Saint Michaels, the reaction to defeat is not so great in the school nor among the alumni as it frequently is else- where. The Faculty Advisory Board, under direction ol' Father XValter X'Vynn, CLP., more than any other agency, by urging that the game be played in a manner compatible with the dignity of Saint Michael's, have been largely responsible for the philosophy ol the undergraduate and the graduate groups, so lar as they concern athletics.
