Dear Graduates, 'l'he years ol' N39 to 19113 will always be mem- orable in your lives. During this period, you have acquired your High School education under the guidance ol' leaders eminently litted to give you- not a one-sided idea ol the meaning ol' lil'e-but a lull and perlect education ol' the body, the intellect and the soul. Today you step out into a world steeped in materialism and a woelul lack ol' a sense ol' religion or a knowledge ol' Cod. Today you step Ollt into a world steeped in the horrors ol war-Ha world of sacrifice. broken hearts, bloodshed and death. Some of your class- mates are already in the armed forces ol the United States. Remember. then, the lessons taught you at St. Michael's. Remember the principles ol' justice and charity. Be trite to God, and God will be with you at all times. St. Michael's is proud ol' you today. The good Sisters ol' St. Francis, may God bless them! will follow you through lite. The Priests, your real lriends, will always be interested in your welfare. From all4your Par- ents, your Parish, your Sisters and your Priests, we wish you every success and God's blessing. Rtcv. Bt1N1c1xtc:'r Huck, CLP. Pastor. XVith you, our Graduates ol' I9-13, we are glad today and happy in extending to you, your good Parents and your devoted Sisters, our congratula- tions on your achievement. This is the lirst notable success it1 your lives. May it be only the beginning ol' many more. That our ellorts lor you, our hopes in you, may be realized, we would suggest the advice ol' the great St. Paul: I be- seech you therelore to walk worthy ol the voca- tion in which you are called, with all lunnility and mildness. with patience, supporting one an- other in charity: careful to keep the unity ol' spirit in the bond ol' peace. Till we meet again, may God be always with you. Ricv. HAROLD 1'o1.tc1t'1'1, CLP. TIIHMICHAELINIAN it for 1943 it cygcufty REV. WALTER WYNN, C.P., Director SISTER M. DEo CORA, Prrincijzal SISTER M.

THIIMAS ut 7ZL'6u fe To those who guided our footsteps on the steep, narrow path ol' learning, we owe a debt of gratitude that even a long life of devotion to duty will be but a small return. As the beacon light is to the pilot, so our priests and teachers have been to us during our formative years in the classrooms of St. Michael High School. For the past four years they have tried to draw us closer to the Source of Truthg they have endeavored to point out to us the dangers we must encounter on the rough highway called Lifeg they have given us all that is included in the term - a Catholic education. Since they have grounded us thoroughly in our religion and the secular branches as well, sincere gratitude is due to them for their patience with us and their fidelity to their trust. We have received a thorough Christian education. May we, in grat- itude to those who have helped us to acquire it, love it and give it, that others may have life in a truly Christian sense, and have it still Inore abundantly. l The NIICHAELINIAN -Y V I .F-47-,-pFa,7,:.. , ,.

Eleanor F. Kolczynski, '43 CLASS FLOWER-ORCHID Tl1e orchid casts her beauty afar, Of charity to everyone, XVhose lonely door is left ajar By the woes of this world undone. As the bud of the orchid develops, The spirit of Christ envelops. Rays of joy its petals contain, ln our hearts 'twill always remain. Bernard Novak, '43 SCHOOL COLORS-BLUE AND GOLD A memorable story will always be told Of our lovely school colors, blue and gold. Through battles and vict'ries they've always been worn, And from our proud hearts will ne'er be torn. Bernard J. Novak, '43 CLASS MOTTO- f'It's Not What You Dog But the Way That You Do It. Four pleasant years of schooling have now passed at St. Michael High. Through thick and thing from freshman to senior, this class has kept the same motto. Now that the time has come that we must leave, let us not forget our motto. Something that has been worth keeping during four years is worth keeping always. lt's not what you do, but the way you do it, symbolizes sacrifice and willingness-sao rificing pleasures to do right and willingness to carry on to the best of our ability. In the years to come we may encounter many hard- ships, and the thought uppermost in our minds must be don't give up . We shall make this senior motto a part of our lives, so that success and God's blessing may always be ours. John M. Salava, '43 The MICHAELINIAN :TTxTQ:fTETiE3T1Ex9E?:'TT' The Lady of Our Land! England chose Saint George to guard her, l'Vhile Saint Patrick guides old Erin. But Mary, America claims As the Lady of Our Land. Pure she stands between high heaven And our loved and cherished country. For Mary, America claims As the Lady of Our Land. ln her heart, our red is livingg In her gown, our white shines brightly. And Mary, America claims As the Lady of Our Land. VVhile our blue is in her mantle, In her crown, our Stars are gleaming. And rooted, our trust is in herg She, the Lady of Our Land. Eleanor F. Kolczynski, '43 WORRIED Of late I've pondered oft and long Will we be missed when we are gone? Or if, when once upon our way, Will they be glad we've gone to stay? The Bedtitudes Before Christ left us to return to His Father, He gave us a true Christian philosophy of life -the Eight Beatitudes-by which we may ob- tain the crown of glory He has prepared for those who conquer in life's battle. Christ lived what He preached, and rays of contentment and happiness beamed from His countenance to the faithful, drawing them to their Leader. The Eight Beatitudes give us the spiritual rules of life that will help us to become Christ- like. They guide, comfort and lead us to our heavenly abode. They contain Christ's pattern of a Catholic philosophy of life, through which we may bring honor and glory to God, and become other Christsf' In our Catholic Philosophy, we must re- member that our Faith should be of a high degree, one that cannot be destroyed by its enemies--pride, sensuality, irreligious litera- ture and religious indifference. Christ gave us weapons by which we may overcome these evils of darknessg and in order to save our precious gift, Faith, we II1l1St make use of them. In his Beatitudes we find rest and consolation. They enable us to master our self- ishness by being meekg to regain our spiritual happiness by self-sacriiiceg to see the hand of God in our defeats and failuresg to suffer sil- ently the injustices of othersg to be merciful to allg to keep our hearts pure in the Eyes of their Makerg to be peaceful with our neigh- bor: and if the privilege is granted, to give our lives for Christ. If we adopted Christ's standards, what un- speakable inner joy would thrill our beings! Wliat rays of cheerfulness, happiness and con- tentment would beam from our faces as they did from His! How grateful we Catholics should be for Christ's philosophy-we can be- come other Christs ! Bernard J. Novak, '43 g o 5,.--,,l' 1 1 Qi. W, ..

For the Hrst month, we really thought we were going to have Heinfs 57 Varieties, because during Septem- ber, we had two teachers, but on Uctober 1, we were surprised to see the teacher who was to remain with us during that year. One of the little Freshies wrote on the blackboard: Let's initiate Sister. 1N7e'll never forget initiation day and the week following because of the silly costumes we were obliged to wear to school. After taking time out to become acquainted, we really settled down to a year of solid work, with one resolution: We're going to be the best Senior Class St. Michael's ever had. 1940-1941 The following September found us again in the school-yard, sophisticated Sophomores were we. Our retreat, under the direction of Rev. Paschal Drew, C.P., took place during the last week of September. This prepared us for the ups and downs of that year. German proved a fascinating subject. Geometry was full of angles and had us going in circles. Dorothy Gruendl tried her directing ability in the Christmas play, A Mad Breakfast . A rare privilege was granted us this year, that of holding an evening social. This social was dedicated to our Blessed Mother. The high- light of the year was the visit of Father Quigley, newly appointed Superintendent of Schools, and then came promotion to a certain room on the second Hoor. 1941-1942 Jolly Juniors! 1'Ve began this happy school year with a retreat given by Rev. Raphael Duffy, C.P. How well we relneinber our first lesson in typing and short- hand! At Christmas, we presented two plays, The Shepherd of Bethlehem and The Bracelet of Doom . In February, we tested our journalistic ability by taking over the publication of The Shield, our school newspaper. After Easter, we again took to the stage by presenting a thrilling romance of the Civil War entitled The Thread of Destiny . 1942-1943 Dignified Seniors! Could three years have passed so quickly? They did, and Father Time was now ready to see if we would fulhll the promise we made about being the best Senior Class . First aid, aeronautics and advanced math were added to an already crowded schedule. The sixteen Senior girls resolved to become good stenogs by mastering typing, shorthand and bookkeeping. We displayed patriotism, toog first, by attending a Victory Retreat given by Father Raphael, C.P.g and secondly, the Seniors' Victory Social. Three of the Seniors enlisted in the armed forces: Bernard Lease, Army Air Corps: Camillus Pfister and Raymond Mysliwczyk, United States Marine Corps. The busy Seniors took time out for class ring measuring. Excitement was keen when the time arrived for publication of the MICHAELINEANQ pictures had to be taken, etc. The anticipa- tion of Class Day has become of great interest as the days become fewer and fewer. One of the biggest events of the year will be the production of the Class Play, when the Seniors will present their last play as a class. We are now hopefully looking forward to the goal of the past four years- graduation! 1Vhat lies beyond, we do not know. But, why worry! Divine Provi- dence will protect and guide us in the future as in the past. lVflLDRI'1D H. Mlzviaks, '43 PM 15 - ' .X EEEEEQIEGS Iunior Class i Ifirst Ron: .joseph .xIlll'll0lll. fiCl'lllll Bishop.

SCHULTZ, '43 .far-1. A23 A Mom for the Ages Two decades ago envoys of the world powers were seated around the council table at Versailles, determined once for all to put an end to war and its terrible consequences. Their work finished, these self-satisfied ambassadors of greedy nations, lusting for power, little dreamed that their Hint-like treaty had struck a spark that needed but time and the winds of demand and oppression to create a worldwide conflagration. And why? Because one chair was not drawn into that historic circle. lts occu- pant was not permitted to voice his opinion, even in the antechamber of this meeting. In the days of old, the Prince of Peace had raised His voice, and Galilee's raging waves were calmed. Might not the same have occurred had Christ's vice- regent been permitted to enter this charmed circle? We are told that men of wisdom profit by the blunders of their predecessors. XfVhy then do not our rulers tL1I'I1 to the only source of help in this hour of world crucifixion? If they heed not His voice in the present, will not their conquering demands but pave the way for a more terrible war in the next decade or two? History repeats itself, we are told. It is to this unwanted delegate, this Alter Ghristus , this greatest of leaders, most brilliant of the world's diplomats and noblest of rulers, that we pledge our spiritual allegiance and for whom we offer our prayers-the Angelic Pastor , Pius XII.

That memorable evening, March 21, l9ti2. witnessed there the first performance by Ameriea's greatest symphony orchestra, directed by the celebrated maestro. Bern- ardone Novak. With a last stroke of his baton, the director silenced the hundred instruments that obeyed his every motion. Then, the applause gradually subsiding, the maestro stepped to the rear of the stage. The guest soloist of the occasion. Mile. Antonina Scoglio, and her husband accompanist. Walterio Wiclunanowski, proceeded to the center of the stage. 'l'hundering applause greeted their approachg then. as the great pianist approached his in- strtunent. the beautiful prima donna, clad in a gorge- otts gown of golden cloth. prepared to give her best to America. As she stood there thrilling her audience. the maestro was lost in dreams of the past--of a class- room back in IS, when the singer and her accompanist were girl and boy. learning the same lessons and shar- ing the same pleasures. The last selection finished. Maestro Novak left the stage and hurried lo the singers room. Pardon me. but I must ask yott just one question, Mademoiselle. Don't you remember me? Well, of all things? XVho wouldn't know that shock of curls, even if they are getting rather gray? Aren't yott Bernard Novak? And you--the littlest girl of the Class of V134 Antoinette Scoglio? I am. And over there's my husband. Surely. yott remember the President of the Student Council. the Catholic Actioneer who almost wore the hinges ofl the doors of old St. Michael's, peddling his wares and ranting about our indifference to the cause that meant so much to him. just a moment and I'll get him away frotn that tiresome manager of mine. After the usual handshaking and questioning about each other. the Symphony director insisted that they spend the night with him. No, we cannot. for ottr plane is waiting to take us back to Pittsburgh tonight. Antoinette's mother is no different today from away back in our school days when this little lady attended basketball games or a social. She will be sitting up waiting for us if it's morning, so we must hurry. But can't yott spend just a day or two at my home? asked the Maestro. Yes, we shall. interrupted the singer: this is Thursday. and we are not scheduled in Chicago until next Tuesday. Suppose we return to New York Sunday morning and spend the day with you. That will be grand, replied Mr. Novak. And I shall make your visit an enjoyable one: btit no fair's asking tonight, Goodbye, and don't be keeping that good mother up too early tomorrow morning. Sunday morning. the two celebrities arrived in New York City. where they were met by their friend of long ago. The trio stepped into the NIaestro's private plane. arriving shortly at his beautiful home some tniles up the Hudson. One surprise followed another. As they left the plane and walked toward the beautiful country house. the mistress herself greeted them. And guess who she was! I don't need to introdttce you two, do I? laughed the master of the house. Rosemary IJreistadt! cried the singer. Is this where we find you? Yes, and as happy as any wotnan would dare hope to be. I didn't think that we should ever see yott again! After you had left l'ittsburgh to study in New York, I lost track of you. 'l'hen later we heard that yott had left America for Italy. where you were to continue yottr work. But just listen how Walter and I met. I went on to Rottie to study under Professor Garlani. One day while praying in St. l'eler's. I saw a face I well remem- bered. Coming down the aisle, big as life, was our musician. Walterio Wichtuanowski. Yes, Init it didn't take her long to finish her prayers, said her husband, for we both hurried out- side to find what either one knew about those back home. And do you know what came of it? said her husband. Oh, let me tell, said the singer. He was studying church tnttsic at the Palestrina Academy, Intl I fear that day saw the end of his career as an organist. Since then he has decided that I sing nowhere ttnless he accompanies me. As they entered the house, there was a commotion. Not one or two, but four people lutrried to greet them. First, there was a very military-looking man whom they recognized as 4'Bennie, tiow Major General Lease of the United States Air Corps. How goes it, Bennie? said Yvalterio. Kayo, said the major general. You two gave us a performance I won't soon forget. I wanted to go back- stage and congratulate you, but it was too late. And we're still with the Air Force, you see-which means K. l'. if youfre not on time. Same old Bennie, laughed Antoinette. And here's my wife. Remember her, don't you? asked Bennie. Indeed I do. How could I forget our Sylvia May of 'VSV' And l'm glad to see you, Antoinette. Remember the old days back home? And the stunts these bad boys used to pull. l4Iere's sotneone else who wants to have her say. How are you. Agnes? I didn't expect to meet yott in New York. Nor I to meet yott. I've just come from Pittsburgh to do some buying. You retnetuber. after graduation. I went to work at Horne's. Gradually. I worked my way up, Now I'm buyer for their ladies' and misses' departments. I always spend a day or two with Bern- ardone and Rosetnary. ami it was a delight, on my arrival last night to hear that you would be here today. But Ruth is getting impatient to get a word in. i Hello, little song bird! How are you? said the former chubby Rttth Beringer. just fine. Init what are you doing here? said Antoinette. Oh, Walter and I conduct an aeronautics school over in New jersey. Rosemary called me on Friday that you would be here, so I made it my business to come over. Isn't it great? I Yes, but how 'in the world did you ever enter such a field? Why. what's strange about that? After the war was over Walter returned home and we were married at old St. Michael's. Can you guess who married us? No? Father Harold, who is still pastor. By the way, do you remember those Thousand Dollar Rallles they had when we wore blue uniforms and wore out the bricks on Pius Street? He has pushed things along so fast since he became pastor that, instead of a raffle a month, they now have one every week. The old parish debt is completely gone, but Father still keeps the bingos going. While we're on the subject, I lllllst tell you about some other friends. Last June Father Bene- dict was elected Superior General of the Passionist Order. Walter and I expect to go to Europe next springg and if I get nowhere else, I'll manage to go to Rome to pay him a visit. Father Wendelin is now Provincial. His Passion Play in Union City equals Oberannnergau any day. Father Walter is Rector at St. I'aul's Monastery and First Consultor to Father Wendelin. Busy as he now is. he still takes time to go to the high school basketball games. When the varsity won the national championship last winter, Father brought the whole team to New York for a week. We had the boys spend a day with us and they almost ate us out of the house. Then you remember Father Raphael, who gave our last two retreats. Guess where he isl Don't you remember he went to China the year after we graduated? He did grand work among the poor Chinese. Two years ago he was named Papal Nuncio to China by the Holy Father. Aren't you two ever going to be ready for dinner? asked Rosemary. Instead of standing there, suppose you come into the dining room and we'll check up on the rest of the class. Bernard has been keeping in touch with most of the boys, and I believe I can tell you about some of the girls. Where shall we start? There's Marie Settelmaier. She is now Mother Mary Michaela, Superior of the Franciscan Sisters at Millvale. She's a nun with plenty of courage. Since her election, the community has built three large hospitals-one in Butler, another in Beaver Falls and a third in Johnstown. YVhen I go home to visit the folks, I always manage to spend as much time with her as her busy life will allow. Next we'll tell you about Mildred Meyers. She is Superintendent of St. Francis Hospital, Pittsburgh, and a grand job she's making of it. She has just installed a 5lli50,000 X-ray department there. Our old pal, Ruth Bushmeier, one of the greatest X-ray experts in the country, has charge of this department. Mayo X-ray Clinic has nothing over the new unit at St. Francis since Ruth took charge. What about Lorraine Grimm? asked the prima donna. Lorraine and Teresa Schultz conduct a large art school in Cleveland. Their pictures are exhibited every year in the New York, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland art galleries. That was a class, wasn't it? A pretty hard crowd to manage, but it seems they turned out well, com- mented Walter. I won't keep you long with the rest of my story, said Rosemary. There are just a few more on my list --Marian Immekus. Catherine Hirt, Gertrude Moeller. Betty McKibben and Eleanor Kolczynski. Marian mar- ried a grandson of NValter Damrosch. She lives in Washington, where she conducts the most swagger majorette school in the country, while her husband Walter Damrosch III, directs the Marine Band. I met her at President Smith's Inauguration Ball last janu- ary I4. Catherine Hirt is now Mrs. John Salava. These two old friends of ours conduct a lirst-class dude ranch near Denver. Bernie and I spent last july and August at their place, and they showed us the time of our lives. There are just four more-Gertrude, Betty, Bernadette and Eleanor. After leaving St. Michael's, Gertrude took a course in fancy cooking and Berna- dette studied homemaking at Margaret Morrison School, while Betty attended Duquesne University Business School. Now they're in business, making a grand suc- cess of Hotel Biltmore, the swankiest hostelry in Chi- cago. Gertrude sees to the cooking, second to none in Americag Bernadette keeps the guests' rooms spotless, and Betty sees that all the bills are paid and that her customers come across, too. But I saved the biggest surprise for the last. After Eleanor left St. Michael's, she worked for a year or two in Dr. Green's office. She took such a liking to the work that she finally per- suaded her parents to send her to Pitt for a medical course. After graduation, she went to India with Dr. Anna Dengel, then head of the Catholic Medical Mis- sionaries. The last we heard was that she was in full charge of all Catholic Medical activities throughout India and China. I always thought Eleanor would do great things. So much for the girls. For goodness sake, I'm glad that lineup is Hnishedf' said the rather impatient Symphony Director. Now for the rest of our gang. Let's see there's Bittner, the man with a form. He and Robert Bosle are running a smart shop for playboys over in Cleveland. Bittner models the latest styles. When he's finished dressing the boys in the brightest colors, he hands them over to Curly, who then finishes them off with the cleverest hair wave man ever devised. Their shop is lined with customers from noon until Inidnight. Next we have William QBillj Fisher, the wild boy from Hays Borough. He's down in Kentucky raising Blue Grass thorough- breds. Last summer a year ago, his horse Ginger- snap won the Kentucky sweepstakes. And can you imagine who's his star jockey? Eugene QGenej Polus- zny, known all over the country as Kentucky Pete. I never dreamed that little chap would ride to fame as he has done. Then there are joe Anthony, Jim O'Con- nor, joe Trinlbur and Raymond Mysliwczyk. Don't you remember how they built model airplanes even as youngsters? Now they are in business in Lowell, Massachusetts, turning out the finest passenger and freight planes that can be bought. Pfister and Panasko came back home from Germany after they had helped rid Europe of the Nazi terrors. These two fellows are at present with Barnum k Bailey's Great Circus, taming African lions and tigers. The antics of Hairbreadth Harry are tame in comparison with the stunts of these two braves. What ever happened to Stanley Bielewicz? asked Walter. Oh, I almost forgot about him. 'Star' is coach of the crack basketball team at Notre Dame. They toured the country from coast to coast the past winter. beating even the Army and the Navy teams. I always thought he'd made use of his ability as a basketeer. I believe there's just one more-Herbert Hartman. After leaving school, Herbie worked for a while in Honus Wagner's Sporting Shop. Then one day Gene Tunney came into the store and got rather smart. Herb stood it as long as he could. Finally he up and handed Gene an upper cut. Tunney's manager recognized Herb's pugilistie ability and insisted on taking him over. Herbie is now heavyweight champion of the U.S.A. Quite a change from the good old days when he tapped for our socials. And some crowd it was! commented Wvalter, the accompanist. Suppose you people now make yourselves comfort- able, then said Rosemary, while I see that the dinner is rid away. I'll soon join you out on the lawn. With that the history of the Class of '43 was tinished. The visitors left the dining room to look over the beautiful estate of their host and hostess. ANTOINETTE Scocuo, '43 Acmzs Kluufrwrts, '43 1 fl. I 'ir-4 5! ilk. 'L How Catholic Students Con Aid The Catholic Press The Catholic press is carrying on in a world at war- a war that is bottnd to mean either victory or defeat for the allied forces. Does this itnply that will be either victory or defeat for justice and morality? The enemy of innocence is lurking in what we see and read. Don't be one of those who soothe their con- sciences with I can read anything, because it implies I will read anything. Books are life-real life: and love is a part of life. Most students realize that love is built on sacrifice and trust, not emotions. Therefore, so-called love maga- zines , which slowly but surely introduce poison into the mind, by depicting love scenes mingled with the sugar of pleasing language and fascinating narrative. should not even attract ottr attention, must less tetnpt yott to read thetn. As Monsignor Sheen says: Radio serial stories and love magazines contain more triangles than a geometry book. The same tnay be said for comic books, which are not, as the title would sttggest, fttnny at all. Rather they are the utterly ridiculous adventttres of a man who came to earth from another planet, with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men . They show the clever dealings of tlte underworld, in which evett children partake. We who are so determined to keep ottr lives safe from bombing, in reality stand near a keg of dynamite with lighted matches in our hands, when we read such cheap matter. We American students pride ourselves on ottr culture and learning. Yet more than one hundred of the maga- zines printed here are banned in Canada attd Attstralia. In the United States, sixteen million copies of this erotic filth leave our presses every month, three-fourths of these launched since 1930: and approximately thirty- six million so-called, bttt completed miscalled, intelli- gent individuals read these publications. America is a free country, but liberty is not licenseg get that straight! You are not free to steal your neigh- bor's automobile. Rotten magazines are Public Enemy Number One . and should not be allowed to trample under foot the chastity of American youth! If students refuse to btty these publications-if they go even further and refuse to patronize the merchants who sell them-these dealers will soon realize that we are not being fooled into reading such spicy stories, and will cause them to be removed from their stands. And you wouldn't be missing a thing by having these foul magazines taken out of your life. Aunt Hetty had tlte right idea when she said, What does it profit you to know how a skunk smells?', You won't be considered a sissy or a holy crusader if you refuse to poison your mind or to insult your fire with sttch trash. The great essayist Bacon once said: Some books are to be tastedg others to be chewed, and some few to be swallowed and digested. Even the taste of such vulgarity is bitter. What will happen to tts if we try to digest it? Would you consider Comntandcr john Shea, a hero of Mlord War II, a sissy? His letter to his live-year-old son, jackie, was brought before the world when Com- mander Shea went down with the Wasp . Be a good Catholic, and you can't help being a good American. Did anyone ever call Elmer Layden, the coach of Notre Dame, a sissy? He states: You can't win any more in life than you can on the gridiron, ttnless your ideals are higher than those played up in cheap magae zines. A sound body is useless, unless it is backed by a sound mind. These great men remetnber the words of beloved Pope Pitts XI: Anything that you do for the Catholic press, I shall consider as having been done for me personally. A book written by a Catholic author and having a Catholic backgrotmd would never be accepted by the public reading audience. Because of this thought, it took Franz NVerfel, a jew, to make the Catholic' novel, The Song of Bernadette a best seller. In your reading, direct your attention to one book in particular, to the most sacretl of all books! It is the Heart of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. which was opened upon the Cross. Of this book, you can never read enough. There is an inscription upon It in letters of gold: Learn of Me, because I am meek and humble of Heart. Then you will be strengthened in your determination to help in this crusade against indecent literatttre. You will not he ready to give up or to sttr- render, but like one of our great naval heroes. you can and will answer: I have ll0t yet begun to light. lxIII.DRFD ltlmtcas, '43 THE DURATION 'Tomorrow you shall march away As all ottr soldiers of today.

The officers elected were: Walter VVichmanowski, Presidentg Mary Leopardi, Vice Presidcntg Pearl Chronowiat, Secretaryg Mary Rita Kelly, Treasurer. Bern- ard Novak was elected Senior Delegate and Mary Leopardi was chosen junior Delegate. Mildred Meyers was named Council Reporter to The Pittsburgh Catlmlir: news writing con- test. After the oilicers had been formally in- stalled, one of the first projects undertaken was a scrap drive. Results were excellent. Ten tons of scrap were collected. The money dc- rived from the sale of this scrap was used for the beneht of our high school. Later in the year, the Council began the regular sale of war stamps in the high school. Activities, such as an oratorical contest and basketball games, were held to increase the sale of war stamps. One of the Council's last projects was to encourage the student body to earn the Treas- ury Flag. To enjoy the honor of flying this Ilag, ninety per cent of the students had to purchase war stamps. The flag is now ours, and we're proud to say that we exceeded the ninety per cent quota.

BITTNER, '43 ,z .-- rw Jn -auakiflfl 4 i t Catholic Action The cooperation of the laity in the aposto- late of the hierarchy to establish the prin- ciples of Christianity as the dominant prin- ciples of world civilization. Thus did Pope Pius XI define Catholic Action. But how and where can we apply it? we ask. There are many opportunities for us to apply Catholic Action, for example, in the school, the home, the parish and various social activities. First, let us consider the school. Here we find boys and girls being taught by Catholic teachers in a Catholic atmosphere. These stu- dents are taught Catholic principles, but it is up to them to put them into practice. Next, let us consider the home as a sphere of Catholic Action. Formerly the home was the center of all activities, but now cheap pub- lic amusements have changed that. It is not necessary to do away with all their amuse- ments, but it would be a challenge to our younger people to conduct an interesting house party without the help of strong drinks and soft lights. Furthermore, the Crusader The lVf1CI-IAICLINIAN will not only look out for himself as to the selection of good pictures, but will try to guide his companions. Likewise in regard to reading he will always be careful of the literature that comes into the home, and make sure that none of it is bad. A devout high school student who attends the sacraments regularly can also be a good example in the home. The high school student can further the cause of Catholic Action by joining in parish activities, by being a conscientious Holy Name member or a good Sodalist. In his social contacts, the young Actioneer is always rehned, acting on Catholic principles at all times. His good example to the younger people will bring God's blessings upon himself and his companions. Hence, fellow students, clothe yourselves in the armor of Christ, and arm yourselves with the weapons of Catholic Action, forming An Army of youth flying the standards of truth and fighting for Christ, the Lord.

Close One-But We Won In their tirst home game of the '43 season. the Mus- tangs defeated St. james of West End in an overtime affair, 24-22. Stanley Bielewiez sank the winning goal in the waning moments of the game. Neighborly Brawl The court of St. Mit'hael's was invaded hy St. Casi- mir's.

Bittner featured the scoring for the losers hy garnering 9 points. St. Joseph's Defeat Mustangs Saturday, january 31, St. Michael's invaded the hard- wood court of St. joseph, to he defeated hy a highly underrated team, -I3-20. Sventy stood out for the Mustangs in this game hy scoring ti points. Bus Pfister Sparkplug With Plister leading the lllustangs hy ll points, St. Marys lost a thriller, after leading the first half of the game. Of course, Bus ran true to form in this 32-23 win. Irish Upset Mustangs The fourth defeat of the season was administered hy a vastly improved St. james team, 10-25. The game was a nip'and-tuck affair throughout three quarters, hut the wear and tear of the grind hegan to show on the young Mustangs. The Irishmen pulled away to a 15-point victory. Lease was in his customary form, scoring Il points. Mustangs Overwhelmed The Mustangs traveled to Braddock to cntangle St. Tholnas, hut failed to hreak even when they were found on the short end of a 53-25 score. Pfister gar- nered 8 points for his lineup. Good-bye, Benge-Happy Landing Mustangs Lose Finale Bernard Lease, playing his last game for St. Michael's before donning a uniform designed by Uncle Sam. failed to spark the Mustangs in an overtime defeat by St. Casimir's, 30-26. Bernard scored 9 points. Lots of luck. Bernie. in your new job. Finis Mustangs drew the curtain down on a hectic season by losing, 31-26, to St. joe, Natrona. Star Biele- wicz, wearing his buddy's No. 4 uniform, failed to pull the team to victory, although he scored 9 points. Ending a very disastrous season, the Mustangs chalked up 510 points to opponents' 565. Bernard Lease was the team's big gun, scoring 128. Stanley Bielewicz, '43 Mustangs' Personals Bernard Benge Lease Eugene Gene Posluszny Small, chunky Senior, who co-Captained Mustangs: supplied much of the finesse in the Mustang attack. Dribbling and one handed push shots are two of his distinct qualities. He was our high scorer and was a real nuisance to other teams in matter of point get- ting. Bernie left in mid-season to play a bigger and harder g2llllCA-lt'lll', joining the Army Air Corps. Camillus Bus Pfister Bus as he's known to his team mates. is the fellow you saw throwing assist passes faster than any other of the young Mustangs. He's one of the hnest de- fense men in the League. Bus will join the Marines at the conclusion of the school year. tanley Star Bielewicz The tall. blonde-haired Mustang who seldom went in for high scoring, but played second fiddle in point- scoring. He plans to join his buddy, Lease. in the Army Air Force at the conclusion of the school term. His job was to set up plays rather than to raise the score. Raymond Sluszy', Bittner Sluszy is known for his defensive playing and re- trieving of the ball olf the boards. His deceptive passing and ability to handle himself on the floor. meant much to the team. He also has the title of being the Mustangs' best pivot shot. He is awaiting his call to the Army. John Pete Salava An alert Senior who played the role of a dependable sub. He displayed his ability by his deceptive pass- ing, line shooting and good defensive play, john is expecting a call from Uncle Sam. The handsomest Senior on the team, who showed his fighting spirit all year. Despite his lack of ex- perience, he has proven himself a persistent and valuable player. Stephen Knobby Sventy The only Sophomore on the starting team. Knobby is a whiz at ball handling and can upset the best defensive team with his dribbling and passing antics. He is one of the classiest performers on the squad. We expect to hear a lot of this youngster in the future. Sylvester Wes Piotrowski Smallest of the Mustangs. standing 5 feet tall, but a dependable sub. Wes helped his team by breaking up zone defenses, Only a Sophomore, he shows promise of being a good player for the next two seasons. Walter Legs Debski Legs is a 5' ll Sophomore who played a secondary role in Mustang attacks. He is a capable offensive and defensive player, and a line prospect for next Year. Theodore Sparky Trimbur The tall bespeckled Sophomore known as Sparky is a fellow who sits on Coach Ruppen's left. He has shown promising ability in past, and looks good for next season.
