He proved his coaching ability by forming these boys into a very capable forward wall. That the team worked together well was shown by their very tricky and complicated plays that had their opponents guessing from the first whistle. This year's record was five wins, one loss, and two ties. Again, as last year, Fremont St. Joe, in the middle of the season, ruined our chances for on undefeated record. This did not dampen the boys' spirits, however, and they made sure that no more games were lost. Parent, and ,l2 ..,,,,2O 6 7

ATHLETIC BANQU ET The Athletes of St. Rose were honored Sunday, February l5, in the school hall, A delicious turkey dinner was served. Dennis McGraw, the toastmaster, introduced the main speakers. ' George Quatman gave a speech about fair play, and thanked all who helped in any way in making this a better football season. The gist of Father McCullen's speech was good will in losing as well as good sportsmanship in winning. Fred George, our Coach, talked and gave a few highlights on the past football season. At this time Coach McArdle and Johnny Lujack, from Notre Dame, walked into the hall, After loud cheers and clap- ping, Fred George resumed his talk, introducing the players and awarding letters, Mister Grismer then took the floor and after rebuking the pair for their tardiness, lavishly intro- duced Johnny Lujack. Johnny rose and eluded a tight situation by saying, That was a very good intro- duction, Adam Grismer, you recited it exactly as I wrote it. He spoke of the behavior of athletes in public places. He told of rigid studying by the players of Notre Dame in order to keep up their average - any one who drops below this average cannot participate in any sport. Coach McArdle spoke of his own school days and his first letter. He showed the picture of the Army-Notre Dame football game, giving a play by play description. l2Zl
