jim .mecca e 7945-I9 The yen 1946 ltrought m.:ny things to St. Bita. The first Cgscian since 1942 was presented to the student tidy, Things were getting back to normal after the wat. A new football stadium was built, making our facilities for football among the best in the city. The Mustang football team took to the field that year with but one thought iii mind, 1: great season, They achieved their goal. The Mustangs became South Section Champions with seven vit,-fories, no losses and no ties, a fine way to dedicate our new stadium, Boxing was revived, and under the .guidxnce of Frither Crawford our boxers scored wins in six out of eight meetsg 1947 was indeed a good year for our boxers. By the time classes began for the year 1948 over 1500 students were enrolled at St. Rita. A driver training on se wzs now instituted at our school, a step to instilling good driving habits in our students. The groundwork for the Monastery began early in 1948, and was completed in 1949. There had long been tr need for new housing facilities for the Faculty. As enrollment in the school increased, there also had been an increase in the faculty. The priests were now living in very cramped quarters. With the completion of the mon- tistery, there was ,rgain sufficient housing for the faculty. Now the Augustinians have one of the finest monasteries in the midwest. The year 1952 brought many things to St. Rita. The most important was a City Championship in Basketball. This feat will always be remembered by Rita students as ranking with the most important historical markers in the schools history. The feats of last seasons victories were still fresh in the minds cf students. The 1953 squad had a very suc- cessful season. St. Bit-r still had another championship to gain. This time it was the Varsity baseball team. For the set-ond time it took the Chicago Amateur Baseball League Championship. Tho 1954 lvlust-ina luaslcethall terms provcd outstanding. The Senior and lunior teams both took South Set'- tion honors. The heavics were defeated in the playoffs, but the Juniors went .111 the way to take the Catholic League Championship. ln the schools physical plant, many improvements are underway or are being contemplated. These should improve our work, a little at least. This is the fiftieth year cf St. Rita s existence. She has come a long way. She can be proud of her accomp- lishments. She can raise herself to new heights. The way is clear. Her alumni stand out in all the professions. in the arts and sciences in business and civic enterprise, in politics and government. In Chicago, throughout the middle west, throughout the nation and throughout the world itself, Bitans stand to move forward as their school has rnovfid lrzrwtird :luring these past fifty years. lndeed this is the golden anniversary of St. Rita High School. gnu? 51.3174 5 518074 f mug 1.llf Opposite Page 5 4 The lztest building on the Campus-the Mone ,rstery -- completed in 1948. 1.Rl7 5 es' 'fn' 5 I Y ., .i 1 fe -'f 55.3774 SXKRH4 .1 is 'F v , fa ' 'Q , t n A E' ' fl 5 2 kg I . x 51 ST' 'UN mr, The two top pictures: excavation well under- way and the structure over half completed.
