Paulisl Puhlishes Popular Pastimes Through the bi-weekly issues of the Spotlite the school is informed of the sandlot activities of the students. So, for the first time the Paulist will provide a means of remembering this past year. In the fall the footballs start flying, tin cans being substituted for the most part. Though no inter-class games were played, the school yard was always the scene of a good game. The trees are barren and while small, white missiles hurl through the air, many sledding parties were in progress. However, varsity basketball seemed to occupy most of the athletic program. After this season closed, the C.Y.O. basketball tourna- ment, thanks to Spotlite, was a huge success. Meanwhile the Rollo Boys QSeniorsj pro- ceeded to pin down the ears of all challengers, and emerged class champions. The Freshman and Sophomore girls gave everyone a treat with several games of girls' bas- ketball. Along around spring several broken windows appeared, a sure sign of softball. The mighty Sophomores hurled a challenge to a combined team of Freshmen, juniors, and Seniors, and were promptly defeated in a double-header. Bowling was a great favor- ite all through the last semester, both among the boys and girls. This is evidence that St. Paul is highly sports-minded and proof that it participates in more than basketball. Foremost among the above named sports, in the early part of the school year, was basketball. This was largely due to the fact that basketball is the most competitive and best means of exercise that is offered to St. Paul School. It is also shown by the fact that almost all of the boys of the High School went out for, and made either the first or second team. The team of this year was composed of six Seniors, one Junior, two Sophomores and two Freshmen.

COACH l.AWlil'lNClli XVIZIGAND St. Paul Trojans have hnished their third year of basketball under the very able direction of Larry Wfeigand, Athletic Director. Larry, a former grad- uate of St. Paul, took over as coach in '38, at which time he was just out of high school. His material that year was not exceptional, but he worked hard and produced a good team. The two years following were proof of l,arry's coaching ability, for in those years his team was composed of one senior and a number of under graduates who lacked experience. but pos-.essed great enthusiasm, and an ability to learn. We feel that in years to come l.arry's ability to coach will be cherished as much as we have appre- ciated it. UNDEHEHAHUATE5 UF THE VARSITY You who know Indiana basketball realize the success of a team depends on reserve strength oi better still, two teams of equal caliber. Six underelassmen not only provided this strength, but pushed several older boys into the background. Of the credit received by the Seniors, much should go to six leaders of the Trojans of '41 and '42: Bill Bott, Kenney Rosen, guardsg Bernard Dickes, center, Die Shaw, Bud McNamara and Paul Devitt, forwards. ,t 2'-at I KIQNNLY ROSIQN Clmmt' BERNARD Dictkiis fit'llft'I' BILL Botti' Cillilftl Bun MCN A M ARA 1 orzt't1r'tf PAUL DliX'lT'I' I or'1t'u1'tl

ll Special Hnnur Bestuwed nn Hubert Stanley In previous years the Trojans have bestowed upon one of its selected members an honor much esteemed by every team mate. This year the same honor has been given, but without the symbol, to the most valuable and outstanding man of the season, Robert Stanley. Bob's speed and agility on the floor was one of the big factors in his outstand- ing ability and topnotch performances of the current year. His willingness to cooper- ate and determination to better the team were realized and appreciated. With this in mind, we take this opportunity to pay tribute to St. Paul's fifth annual award winner, BOB STANLEY. Pugr 3 J
