JOHN FARABAUGH Editor in Chief THE KAYDET The Annual of the St. Thomas Cadet Corps St. Thomas Military Academy St. Paul, Minnesota FiftooniK Volume Father Schumachers Message to the Corps REV. MATTHEW H. SCHUMACHER President of the College of St. Thomas |Y best wishes to the class of 1953 and to all who have contributed in any way to the Kaydet of this year. 1 am sure it is a matter ot great satisfaction to each member of the graduating class of 1933 to look back upon the tour years of study that you are now completing. There is always joy in achieve- ment, and the fact that you have completed this unit of your education brings with it a sense of power, the result of effort well expended. During these four years your time was not taken up entirely with hooks. There were many activities that filled your days and your weeks, and now you may look back upon these as having contributed in large measure to the success of your graduation. Among these activities would be your athletic games, your participation in various functions, academic and religious, and above all the close association with your fellow students. There will be numerous incidents to recall from class room and campus; there will be lessons learned that will mean much for the days ahead. 1 hope that many of you, if not all of you, will continue your studies. You have laid a splendid foundation upon which to build a fine educational structure. 1 wish to extend to each of you my sincerest g xxl wishes for continued blessings in whatever the future may hold for you. m To Mr. Westline a man who has devoted his life and in it’.rests to the cause of furthering the betterment of St. Thomas, and by Ins fifteen years of faithful service has endowed m his pupils hearts a true love of his qualities as a gentleman we the members of the graduating class of 1933 do affectionately and reverently dedicate our annual. m F orewor d The extent to which this edition of the Kaydet serves to recall the glori- ous past of St. Thomas, to indicate the flourishing present, and to reveal the promising future will mark the success of this, our attempt to relate the past to the present and the pres- ent to the future. m m The future of St. Thomas though, per- haps hazy, is certain—she will ad- vance. The past is a substantiated fact, a chronicle of unparalleled prog- ress. No one foresaw the envied po- sition she holds today, and no one can anticipate the unbounded achievements of her futurity, for there is no limit to her possibilities and no chance for default. CM Administration The Chapel, with its beckoning facade, offers a con- stant source of inspiration for the meditative cadet. It is a staunch and reassuring symbol of the holy faith we believe in. [9] Viewed from the rear, the Chapel lends a calm as- surance of peace and security to the active campus. [ 10] Inspections, parades, basketball games. convocations —the Armory houses them all. Undoubtedly, it con- tains the driving forces of the campus.

[ 12} The Science building coyxtaiyis scientific laboratories and classrooms. In its basement there is a large recre- at on room where cadets may enjoy ping-poyxg or pool during their leisure periods. [U] This building, the pride of our campus, houses the executive and administrative offices, and Tiwmerons classrooms.

Ireland Hall, as a temporary home, offers a happy retirement from the routine of classes and drill. r in [ 18] Father Burke s Message to the Corps NOTH HR year has passed, another Kaydet is about to make its .appearance, another graduating class is about to make its final bow and to disappear from the stage of academic activities. Another year has passed. A trite phrase this, a true commonplace. Like all commonplaces, it slips easily from the tongue, or flows readily from the pen: it penetrates only the outer fringes of the mind: it reaches only the threshold of consciousness. It seldom quickens thought or stirs profound emotion. The wise man, however, takes careful note of the passing time. To teach us the intrinsic value of time. God. the Almoner of time, doles it out to us in tiny measure, even as a miser doles out Ins pennies. And time, thus doled out in small measure, reaches into Eternity, which is time without measure. The wise use of time. This is the point which I. acting as spokesman for the Faculty, would like to stress in my Message to the Corps. Success in life depends on the proper use of time. So docs eternal happiness. A moment squandered is an opportunity missed. A moment viciously spent leaves a wound which heals but slowly. The scar always remains. As long as we are human we shall squander time, we shall let opportunity pass unnoticed. This is folly hut it is understandable. But to use time to our own injury', to our own undoing—this is folly which surpassed! human understanding. We have often heard it said, “1 am doing my best. But no one ever does his best: wc are seldom more than fifty percent efficient. Under the stress of powerful incentive we rise to the pinnacle of physical and mental power. Striving for the realiza- tion of a lofty ideal we reach the mountain top of spiritual endeavor. To the members of the graduating class we extend our felicitations. They leave behind them an honorable record of achievement. Their uniformly high grades in the college aptitude tests, and the high standard of military excellence achieved by the Cadet Corps, bear witness to this. To those who remain as members of the Corps we offer, tor inspiration and imitation, the high standard of conduct and achievement attained by the class of 19.'3. To all we offer our sincerest good wishes and express the hope that every mem- ber of the Corps may enjoy the happiness and success that are the rewards of the wise use of time. [19] [ 20 ] Captain Champeny s Message to the Corps Dear Cadets: It is the purpose of a message of tins kind. I take it. to acquaint you with my feelings about the St. Thomas Cadet Corps, and to express more or less formally the ideals and objectives which 1 consider essential to such a unit. With these things in mind, therefore, and with the hope that what I say will find a responsive note in the minds of all loyal cadets, I am writing this. Let me say, first of all, that 1 am delighted with my assignment to St. Thomas. One might go far to find such another institution, supported, as it is, by the loyalty of administration, parents and students. Moreover, the atmosphere of striving to achieve which is so characteristic of our school is mighty rare outside of it: this, alone, would be enough to recommend it, I believe, though it had no record of accomplish- ment already to its credit. But beyond that which St. Thomas is or has been, let us look to what St. Thomas can be. In my opinion it has the potentialities of a bright future, particularly in the military work. In that line it has the fundamentals upon which to build the most ambitious achievements: a loyal spirit, excellent traditions, a fine uniform, and a com petent start of junior instructors. Very few school have more; many must get along with far less. Our goal, therefore, can well be of the highest. But what of the ideals which arc to guide us in the reaching of this goal? just this: let them be in keeping with the highest in Christian and military activ- ity, with the two great forces which you serve God and Country. Broadly speaking, nothing more need be said. Concluding, 1 should like to extend my congratulations to the entire corps, to the senior class, and to the editors of this Kaydet. Very Sincerely, A. S. Champeny, Capt. Inf. D. O. L. [21 } Rev. Vinci nt Dudley. A.B Instructor m Religion and Mar he mart� Rev Donald J Gohmley. A B S T B Instructor in English and Latin Rev Thomas I Nolan. A M . S.T B.

[26] SENIORS 1 most capable and efficient leader, a student of unrivaled ability, a can' didate for West Point, a successful rifle team captain, a splendid athlete, a sympathetic friend, and a true gentleman such is the type of cadet that this graduating class is proud to have chosen for its president. He has ac- cep ted his responsibilities with a devout seriousness that is characteristic of his success and has pleased his classmates beyond measure. William Kaiser has all those rare qualities so necessary to a student leader. He has many splendid, original ideas and sufficient power ol conviction to develop them. It is due mainly to his efforts that the monthly dances have been so popular with the cadets this year. His respectful classmates and the members of the faculty wish to extend to William Kaiser their sincerest wishes for a success in the future even greater than that which has been his during his active period at Si. Thomas. [27] The’ Senior Class Officers William Kaiser Arthur Doherty Martin Kennedy President Vice-President Secretary HE class of '33 has reason to he proud of its successful year of leadership. In every held, in almost every phase of school activity, these graduating seniors have been the leaders. As officers in the cadet corps, the fourth year men have striven hard to raise their respective units above the stand' ards demanded of the corps as a whole. In view of the government inspec- tion. and with the interest of the school at heart, they have expended immeasurable ef- fort towards the advancement of our military status. In scholarship a senior heads the honor roll of each quarter and many more are graduating with Eagle Award medals and scholastic honors. The last year of study is difficult, but our graduating class has applied itself thoroughly and has enhanced the scholastic rating of St. Thomas far above that ol any other institution. Last fall the school authorities adopted the plan of having a monthly cadet dance. It was the duty of the senior class to promote the affairs. A different senior was chair- man for each dance, and he, with a committee of his classmates, made all the arrange- ments. Every dance was .1 success, and this idea will probably be carried on in future years. Our very successful athletic teams will lose many stars by graduation, and the job of carrying on will be made doubly hard by the loss of such competent leaders. Except for a few undergraduates who will be in charge of the Kaydet next year, this yearbook was edited and compiled entirely by seniors. The class of 33 leaves St. Thomas Military Academy with the satisfaction of knowing they have done all in their power to help and advance the honor of their school. [28] Captain VanB,ergen Lieutenant Kaisf.r Captain Farabaugh Second Alternate Appointee First Alternate AST year, following the Spring Government Inspection, Father Burke re- ceived a telegram containing the happy news that St. Thomas Military Academy had been chosen as an Honor School. Of course this fact meant a great deal to the faculty and student body alike. It climaxed a year of determined effort for the cadets and brought them the exalted position for which they had been striving, and besides, endowed the school with certain dis- tinct privileges. Among these privileges was the right tor the principal of the Academy to choose from the senior class of the year following the appointment, one outstanding Cadet who had excelled in military, athletics and scholarship, and present him with an ap- pointment to West Point. Two others would also be chosen, the first alternate and second alternate, either one to assume the candidacy in case ol accident or emergency. According to this plan, a boy who is a student at an Honor School, and who has been an exceptional representative of his institution in all phases of academic life, is hand- somely rewarded for his effort. This year Father Burke has chosen Lieutenant William Kaiser as St. Thomas Academy's candidate to West Point, and Captains John Farabaugh and Fred Van Bergen as the alternates. Lieutenant Kaiser has attended St. Thomas tor tour years. He has been a promi- nent figure in all the aforementioned activities, having the highest rank in scholarship and in Military Work. His popularity is attested by the fact that he is president ot the senior class and Captain of the Rifle Team. We feel sure that a more representative cadet could not have been chosen and. we sincerely hope that his West Point career will be equally successful to the one he has cared for himself at St. Thomas.

Now in his right hand did he carry a large Uxik, and noting with what great curiosity 1 gazed upon it. he did tell me that this book was an account of his many wanderings, wherein he ofttimes chanced upon our former classmates. He bade me seat myself in the shade to read, and excerpts from his writings did make mine heart heat quickly to hear once more concerning those 1 had known so well.

[49] ( The under-graduates have before them an example of no mean ac- complishment. Their's will be Ihe task of carrying on, ever raising the lofty standards which preceding classes of cadets have created, of making St. Thomas more nearly approach the pinnacle of perfection which she has so steadfastly striven for. In them rests the confidence of all those who have the interest of St. Thomas in their hearts. They'll merit it. [ 50 ] Introducing Our Undergraduates: URING the past year the seniors took the lead in almost all of the campus affairs, hut the other classes were not lagging in their endeavors. In the military department the officers and non commissioned clubs were formed. Through the weekly meetings of these two clubs they obtained an abund- of information in the practical and theoretical military technique a nee which should prove of great value to them and to the corps this year and in years to come. The Athletic department is no doubt going to be handicapped a great deal, be cause many of the best athletes were from the upper classmen. The intra mural activi' ties were reformed for the third consecutive time, thus permitting all students who care to, to take pan in athletics. The Junior class has established some very g x� d records, not only in military, but in athletics and in the academic department. The future of the school depends on the Juniors, because the leaders of tomorrow are among them. Our hopes and desires are placed in the hands of these cadets, and, judging so far by their performance, we shall not be disappointed. The Sophomore class contains some very excellent military and athletic leaders. The high standards that are traditional at St. Thomas are left up to the large number of the respective students of this group. The pinnacle of achievement is a thing of the future to the members of this hard working class, for, in two years it is left up to them to bring the St. Thomas Cadet Corps to the high standard that the others have set. The Freshman class as a whole is characterized by an intelligent and particularly active attitude. These men have just entered school this year, and have gotten into the spirit of things better than any Freshman class of the past. Their spirit in military and athletics thus far exhibited, leads us to believe that we may look forward for many noteworthy achievements. They, someday soon, will have to keep up the spirit of the school and make a larger and better cadet corps. The underclassmen as a whole are a representative group, and they have brought distinction on themselves in every field of activity that their school has thus offered them. They have sprung into the swing of things in all departments so that their school will be highly rated. There is no doubt m our minds that the graduating class of nine' teen hundred and thirty'three will not have to worry about the underclassmen keeping the school up to the high standards which is so characteristic of St. Thomas. ] Otto Raths Ei Ban non Ross Neglia John Jungbauek Secretary President Vice-pres.

It was for this reason that our former principal of the Academy, Father Mooney, whom we all loved, instituted the St. Thomas Eagle Award, which has become the honor decoration of the above average student. On last commencement day a comparatively large number were the proud possessors of a beautiful U. S. shield surmounted by the symbolic American Eagle, decorated in the National Colors and gold, and being inscribed with the school initials, S. T. M. S. To obtain one of these prize awards the student must have a g x)d disciplinary rec- ord along with an academic and military record above reproach. His general average must not he below eighty-six per cent and the minimum for any one subject that he is carrying is eighty percent. At the end of each quarter a colored replica of the St. Thomas Eagle Award is attached to the report of the students who have attained this average or higher. If the student continues to do good work every quarter, and receives a facsimile on each of his quarterly report cards, he will, at Commencement exercises, be given a bronze Eagle, for his permanent possession. This practice has been a very noble endeavor on the part of the faculty and I T. A., and we sincerely hope that many fortunate cadets will receive recompense for their continued efforts. [58] A FINAL TRIBUTE The Senior Parade HE Senior Parade, a last tribute to those departing graduates whose Cadet days are over. For the last time they thrill to the stirring tune of martial music, which is accompanied by the familiar command, Pass in Review. Attired in full dress uniform, standing erect, their snow white hats clasped to their breasts, the seniors gaze for the last time on the Cadet Corps. As the command is given and the corps strides impetuously past the long line of departing seniors, they look half sorrowfully, half joyously at those holding the places formerly occupied by themselves. In the short space there flashes to the mind of every senior the picture of previous senior parades when they were not the honored departing graduates, but those left to carry on. No longer will they make their way through the familiar halls of the class buildings chiding their fellow students in a friendly manner. No longer are they timor- ous gawking boys, but truly men. They realize with emotion pounding in their breasts, that these carefree days enjoyed in the hallowed walls sanctified by a knowledge of truth and honor, will never be overshadowed by the shade of oblivion. These and many similar thoughts occupy the minds of those who are leaving St. Thomas with a spirit ot youthful optimism, to go out. in joyful anticipation of the future, to continue their success in the paths they choose to follow. This is the true significance of the last tribute to the graduating class of St. Thomas the Senior Parade. [59] t The military department of St. Thomas needs no commendation for past per- formance. Its worth is attested to by the recent honor bestowed upon it by the United States Government. That honor will not be unique; it will be repeated many-fold and all due rec- ognition will be given an organization which cannot fail to reflect the en- thusiasm and ambition of its mem- bers.

It is true that his task is great; he is unfamiliar with the methods of the past used in developing the military organisation at St. Thomas. He has introduced to us the finer points of military training, and in ins short stay here he has demonstrated the effectiveness of his methods. As a gentleman and a scholar lie has won the admiration of the faculty and student body. By reason of his support of the teams representing St. Thomas on the field of athletic endeavor they wish to express to him their deepest appreciation of his loyal backing. Thereiore, in our welcome to you, Capt. Champeny, we members of the Kay- det staff wish to say that we have confidence in you. as our leader, to carry on with the high standard of efficiency developed m the past within the corps, and that you will be able to lead us on to still greater honors iri the military field. [61 ] 1 he Tactical Officers front Ron left to right Lieutenants Hames. Felker. Ahern. Lehman. Second Ron Lieutenants Deans and Murnane. HE custom, inaugurated three years ago by Captain Tychsen, of having Reserve Officers assist in the instruction of the Cadet Corps was this year continued by Captain Champeny. The following tactical officers were included in the group: Lts. Felker, Ahern. Deans, Lehman, Murnane, and Haines. All these men are well qualified for their positions, having grad- uated from St. Thomas Military Academy, served as cadet officers, and received prac- tical training at the Reserve Officer's Training Camp at Fort Snelling. Each officer was assigned to a definite post. Lt. Felker acted at assistant Com- mandant and was placed in charge of the boarder cadets, Lt. Deans was attached to Company “A Lt. Ahern to Company ‘IV, Lt. Murnane to Company ‘C and Lts. Hames and Lehman to Company D The tactical officers also were required to teach theoretical work in the military classes. The present staff of reserve officers is larger and more efficient than any the Corps has hitherto possessed. The unit is now reorganized as an essential branch of the Military Department. We may, therefore, without undue optimism, look for- ward to even more valuable assistance from the tactical officers next year. [62} The Battalion Staff � From Row. left 10 right Pfoser.

Staff Sgt. Corporal-Bugler Orderly HF. 1932-33 Battalion Staff has displayed unusual organizing ability. On this body of trained officers has fallen much of the responsibility for the maintainance of the high standards of the cadet corps during the delicate process of a change of commandants. All this in addition to the normal duties of the Staff, which include instruction of military classes, conduct- ing of parades and other ceremonies, supervision of drill, and those intangible require- ments of leadership; perseverance, and sincerity are inborn in all officers who are members of this group. It is extremely fortunate for the corps that Cadet Colonel Philip Seifert was selected for the post ot Battalion Commander. Last year Colonel Seifert gained val- uable experience for his present position while serving as Cadet Lieutenant Colonel. He has conscientiously discharged the obligations incumbent with his exalted rank. Able assistants to the colonel include Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Henry Reif, a soft spoken but resolute commander. Major Wayne Ellis, who has worked hard for the betterment of the military' department, and Captain Adjutant Vincent Pfoser, whose stentorian voice proved effective in rousing the cadets from their mid-winter lethargy. [63] AS THE CORPS PASSES IN REVIEW f The St. Thomas Cadet Corps AST fall an enthusiastic group of old cadets assembled on the drill field anxious to maintain the high rank the school had so recently achieved. The new men soon fell in with the fine spirit which animated the more experienced cadets, and shiny silver Honor School stars served to inspire everyone with a sense of pride and duty. In spite of a general decline of enrollment in most private schools, St. Thomas was again able to formulate the usual four companies which comprise the corps. Early in the year cadet officers were provisionally appointed; but in a few months, their worth being proven, all appointments were confirmed. Three officers were assign cd to each company, a captain as company commander, and first and second lieutenants as platoon leaders. Tactical officers in each company took over the duties of the second in command. In the fall the Corps concentrated on practical outdoor work until snow and cold weather necessitated moving into the somewhat cramped quarters of the armory. The winter months were spent in theoretical instruction in all military classes and close-order platoon drill. A large part of the instruction was carried on by members of the staff and tactical officers. An unusually late spring prevented the corps from leaving the armory until after the Easter vacation. Then, however, the corps cooperated whole heartedly with the officers in a genuine effort to make up what had been lost. Most of the time was spent in execution of company movements and extended order drill with the definite purpose of preparing for spring inspection. We have every reason to believe that the St. Thomas Cadet Corps will again attain the Honor School rating in the class ”M division of military schools when the days of inspection, the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth of May. arrive. [64} The Cadet Corps Band N all types of weather and in various localities, the band, once again, has proved its Spartan courage, under the able direction of Sergeant Weber. At athletic contests, academy convocations, and military ceremonies the band has been present en masse to foster the proper spirit to fit the oc- casion. When the situation demanded a martial air, our hearts were stirred by the invigorating tempo of a well played military march. During baseball, football, and basketball games the team and the spectators were aroused to enthusiasm by the stimulating notes of the school song. The nest which the members of this group displayed for their work is shown by the fact that thirty-seven college men thought it worth while to give their time to the long hours of tedious practice required of all bandsmen. It is only by such routine drill that perfection is achieved. The band had an unusually large number of outside engagements this season. Among them was a radio broadcast, a concert opening the St. Paul Automobile Show, and an Armistice Day parade m Minneapolis. In addition several open air concerts are planned for the coming spring. Not the least important fact in the success of the hand was the addition of three hundred and fifty dollars worth of much needed instruments. Two bass horns and a baritone were included in the purchase. Sergeant Weber is however not yet satisfied, it is his aim to have a sixty piece unit with complete instrumentation. It the band may be considered as the nucleus of student activities then Sergeant Weber may be considered as the nucleus of the band. Around this ardent teacher was established the fine musical organization we all know the band to lie. We cannot say too much in praise of the man who has made our hand the biggest and best ever had in the Cadet Corps. [6 ] PIRIT symbolizes success.” This adage holds the key to the wonderful showings made by ‘A Company in the past. Three times out of the last lour years it has carried away the palm leaf in close order drill coni' petition. Its laurels are numerous and shall continue to be so from year to year because of the present system of cooperation between officers and men. The efficiency of this unit in tactical problems has been tried and found true in the government inspections. Those who have witnessed the performance of the conv pany this year will undoubtedly expect it to come through with the banner waving. [66] COMPANY A ROSTER � John J.

Lieutenants Baker and Sculley have set a very high example for their men to follow both in military and scholastic work. I) Company is well represented in the St. Thomas Honor Roll.

HOUGH the color guard is one of the smallest units in the cadet corps it is far from the least important. As a unit it carries our standard. The ideals we strive for are symbolized in the red, white, and blue of our national flag. Upon these ideals the cadet corps was founded and shall ever be perpetuated. So it is in particular confidence that four men are, selected to carry and protect the colors. They are present during all parades, reviews, and chapel services, and during receptions of visiting army officials, and other civil or clerical dignitaries. They convey the secret of our success, our respect of honor, in face of set backs or failures. The spirit of St. Thomas our national and school colors. [75] HE most representative drill unit of St. Thomas Military Academy is the crack platoon, which this year is under the command of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Henry Rief. Cadets desirous of being on the roster of this ultra' snappy drill unit, submit their names to the commander. This list is cut down by elimination until only the cream of the Corps survive. The re- mauling men are drilled in the tedious fundamentals along with different movements of fancy drill. Twenty'six men are quickly formed into one mechanical body, machine like in execution, yet graceful in step. To become a member may be difficult, but to remain a member embraces hard work, as the slightest slackening in military ability or a low scholastic average will lead to one's dismissal. In the competitive class our drill squad is surpassed by no one in this vicinity. Each year a competitive drill tournament is held at the University of Minnesota. Shattuck, Pillsbury, Cretin, Minnesota, and St. Thomas are all represented, and each year St. Thomas has won honors in close order drill. At social occasions the crack platoon is always present. Drilling at band con- certs, the Hallowe'en Hop. the Military Ball, and all other gala affairs. Year after year most excellent squads are turned out. and year after year crack squads are begun which always become equal to their predecessors. This question arises; what is it that makes each crack platoon so good? Is it merely constant prac- tice? Or is it that only the best, most industrious, ambitious cadets turn out for it. Yes, it is the willing hearts that can stand many a jolt, combined with constant prac- tice that results in such a well equipped unit as our Crack Platoon. [76] Sham Battle IDST the thunderous racket of blood thirsty machine guns pouring their deadly pellets on the on coming enemy, a calm industrious rifle section by clever manipulations and well aimed rifle fire, finally reached and success- fully captured a machine gun nest. This as you likely have guessed was the extraordinary feature at the St. Thomas Military Academy’s annual commencement exercises, known as the sham battle. Under the able guidance of second lieutenant Jerome Uilgers O. R. C.. the crack drill platoon and the machine gun class demonstrated the proper advance, deployment, attack, and assault against a hazardous machine gun nest. Behind a clever camouflage at the south end 1 the athletic held was located the unknown objective of the rifle section, who, not expecting an enemy so close at hand, was marching quietly along in a column of squads in route column. When hostile machine gun fire sounded HALT, they immediately t x k up the third phase of the attack deploying in a skirmish line. Only by cautious, deliberate, courageous men can or was a nest of this kind captured. By leaps and bounds from cover to cover, these tr xips advanced close enough to use deadly hand gernades which put one of these guns out of commission, leaving a weakened and demoralized enemy. Assault hre being signaled the men rushed the nest with fixed bayonets ready for the hand to hand combat with the hostility. Many more of the heroes were slaughtered by the voluminous tire of the “devil” weapon, but with revenge for the dead m mind the remainder of the section spirited their run and captured the nest. The battle was ended and the enemy was marched out in front of the nest with arms in the air. [77] Voni Row, left to right Maiciiik Coi.birn Bi.ackman. Smith I . Noi an Second Roo- PRII Bl VfcRGELT.

These five men, Vincent Pfoser, Robert Farrell, William Hay, Philip Seifert and Thomas Nolan, as a team placed second in the Midwest District of the Hcarst Trophy Match. In this match the nation's best teams are entered and only the most skilled win honors. The team total 930, out of a possible 1,000, was only ten points lower than the tirst place national winner. Vincent Pfoser was high man with a score of 192 out of 200. As a reward the team was awarded a silver plaque and each individual, a medal, a replica of the plaque. This year as in previous years, the St. Thomas rifle team has maintained its high standard of rifle marksmanship. Under the able guidance of Sergeant Housch the team has made a distinguished record. They have shown a marked improvement over last year: placing second in the Seventh Corps Area Match, and well up in the high scorers in the National Intercollegiate Match. At the opening of the season forty cadets were chosen to compete for a place on the team. After several weeks of practice the group was reduced to twenty three men. Finally the fifteen best were chosen. They were: Vincent Pfoser. Philip Seifert, Thomas Nolan, William Kaiser, John Baker, Patrick McAnany, Gerald Priebe, Felix Majcher, John Raether, William Blackman, Jerome Smith, Clarence Vergeldt, Wil- liam Tooley, Richard Colburn and Edw-ard Glischinski.

Thirteen shoulder-to-shoulder matches were scheduled; three with the University of Minnesota, St. Paul, and Cretin teams, and two with Shattuck and Fort Snelling. Of these teams only Cretin and Shattuck were in the same class as the cadets the Junior Division. In these live matches the team distinguished themselves admirably and won all of them. In the matches with the three major teams the riflemen shot to the best of their ability, hut were not able to subdue those veterans of the range. The Junior Division, however, was different. The cadets defeated Cretin by a margin of 115 and 268 on the St. Thomas range and on the Cretin range by 3 points. The team then traveled to Shattuck and here defeated the gray cadets by another impressive score. The return match with Shattuck. the last match of the season, was tired at home.

On May 28th nineteen hundred and thirty-two this day of distinguished events was cele- brated. The main purpose of this eventful day is to award various medals to deserving cadets; and publically recognize the highly esteemed cadets both in scholastical achievement and athletic endeavor. The second purpose of the eventful day is to present the various abilities of the cadets to the on-looking crowd of parents and friends. First on the program was a brilliant review oi the cadet corps, which was followed by battalion physical drill, where harmony and gracefulness were displayed beyond conception. An exceptionally fine presentation ot Formal Guard Mount was shown by Co. A which it done properly is probably the finest movement that can lx executed by foot troops. Meanwhile, preparation for the most outstanding event was being hurriedly ar ranged. This eventful ceremony is the sham battle, which, needless to say, has taken its place in the hearts of all the spectators. The crack drill platoon with the assistance of the machine gun military class under the guidance of second lieutenant Jerome Hilgers U. S. R. O. T. C., gave the audience an explicit example of a proper attack on a machine gun nest. This was followed by battalion close order drill commanded by Cadet Colonel William Hay. The presentation of the medals was then conducted by Captain Andrew C. Tyschen, commandent of the corps, and Rev. Joseph E. Burke, principal of the Academy. Best squad platoon, and company, and the commanders of each, received awards, as well as, the crack platoon, rifle team, staff, band, and honorary individuals. For outstanding athletic and scholastic abilities various other medals were presented. The nineteen hundred thirty-two Commencement day was most appropriately climaxed by a lull dress parade, which only an honorary military school could have equaled. [80] Assistant Military Instructors Sgt. Roscoe B. Housch Sgt. Andrew J. Milligan CL I 1LENTLY and quietly two industrious men have seen their services fade away in the background of the active military training of St. Thomas Military Academy. These two men, as you probably have surmised, arc Sergeant Roscoe B. Housch D.E.M.L., and Sergeant Andrew J. Milligan D.E.M.L. Their duties, which they have met so well during the past six years, can only be executed by men of skill and patience as such monotonous work has often led people to despair. Sgt. Milligan is the secretary to the commandant and takes care of all the corres- pondence of the military department. He also keeps a daily record of each cadet and makes out the drill schedules. Sgt. Housch begins his day by opening the rifle racks and later, together with Sgt. Milligan, checks the absences from drill. His official and most important duty is to develop a creditable rifle team. Every year, regardless of the material he conv mences with, he succeeds in welding together certain cadets into a winning aggregation, that is equal to or surpasses all units in its class. Midst these necessary duties come minors, such as instructing military classes, and keeping all government equipment entrusted to the school in good working condition. To the executors of these tasks much credit must be given and without their services the military department would be lacking the drive and working force which has been so characteristic of it for the past six years. [81 ] The Fall Inspection Hi: St. Thomas Cadet Corps is inspected twice during the school year; once in the Fall preceding Christmas vacation, and secondly in the late Spring before Commencement Exercises. In order to lessen the amount of work in the Spring, the War Department sends a representative officer to inspect each school in the “MS division, in order to determine the status of the school in the Fall. If this Fall examination is passed, the Corps is assured of being re-examined in the Spring and possibly receive an “honor school rating, which we won last and have hopes of winning this year. Colonel T. S. MacMaster, Inf. R. O. T. C. of the Seventh Corps Area acted as the inspecting officer this last year. The time consumed by the inspection was two days, the first being devoted to the practical application of the knowledge acquired by the Corps, and the second day the theoretical knowledge of the school is put to test. Colonel MacMaster saw a fine example of company close-order drill by Company 'A', which was followed by extended order drill by Company ‘B taking up the different formations of a company m battle. Company 'C' displayed with ease the correct method of doing physical drill, with Company ‘D' giving the close-order drill of the smaller units. The Fall Inspection was held on a comparatively warm day giving the cadets ample opportunity to display their skill at drill. All movements were executed on the drill field which is much larger than the armory where it is usually necessary to hold the inspection. The following day the cadets were examined in the theoretical knowledge acquired. The Freshmen in first aid. and military courtesy, the Sophomores in school of the squad, automatic rifle, and musketry, the Juniors in machine gun, 3 inch trench mortar, and 37 mm gun, while the Seniors exhibited their knowledge in map reading, and combat principles. Colonel MacMaster was well pleased with the inspection and assured the com- mandant of a Spring Inspection. We now are preparing the way for a good Spring Inspection, every man actively working, and struggling to bring up the standard of the (vadet Corps. With this ambitious effort we sincerely hope that with the coming of Spring we will find ourselves ready for the War Department Inspectors when they arrive. [ 82 ] The Spring Inspection I' nine o'clock on the morning of May 23rd, 1932, the St. Thomas Cadet Corps was ready and waiting for the keen scrutiny of the War Depart- ment Inspectors, Major Habbs and Major Marshbum. The cadets seemed unbeatable as they presented a snappy review in the gleaming sunlight of a perfect day. Following the review the Corps lined up for inspection of packs, rifles, and uniforms. Next came battalion physical drill commanded by various cadet officers chosen at random. 'B' company was then required to pitch shelter tents, while A’ Company executed extended order drill, and ‘C’ Company close order drill, including company, platoon, and squad movements. The rest of the morning and the early part of the afternoon was devoted to practical work by the different military classes. At two o'clock the Corps was transported to the Ford plant to take part in the field maneuvers. Companies 'C' and ‘D' executed the attack problem, Companies A' and B the advance guard problem. The heat was intense on the dry exposed surface of the field but the cadets with fine courage carried out the movements as directed by the efficient cadet officers. At the conclusion of the maneuvers the (a rps returned to school to be dismissed for the day. Tlte next morning assembly sounded at eight o'clock. The military classes formed in groups according to year in order to be examined in theoretical principles. When Major Hobbs and Major Marshbum had thoroughly satisfied themselves with the efficiency of the cadets in military theory, the Corps was re-assembled to present a dress parade in the full dress uniform. This always colorful ceremony was performed with an additional precision that must have impressed the inspecting officers with the excellence of the St. Thomas drill machine. Thus the inspection was officially brought to a close. An air of suspense pervaded the campus until May 29th. On this day word was received from the War Department announcing the expected but welcome news that the St. Thomas Cadet Corps has passed the inspection with a score of 90.785% or approximately one point higher than the required ninety percent, to win Honor School rating in the class “MS” division for the first time in the history of the institution. This triumph came as a fitting climax to the five years Captain Tyschen has labored untiringly for the benefit of the Cadet Corps. It is to this man of stern disci- pline, of unswerving sense of duty, of unusual ability that we owe the success of last year's final Inspection. Captain Tyschen. although you may never have the opportunity of seeing the Corps again, we acknowledge to you personally our sincere gratitude for your unceasing efforts which resulted in our attaining the honor school rating. [ S3 ] f St. Thomas' representative athletic teams will continue, will surpass their impeccable exemplifications of unfal- tering grit, sturdy loyalty, and true sportsmanship. Their merit will be proven not by how many games they win or lose, but how they wir. and how they lose. And they'll win many, and lose some; but win or lose they'll fight on, charging to the end. [84] ATHLETICS HF. athletic program at St. Thomas during the last three years, namely, car- rying on an extensive Intra-mural program in addition to the various var- sity teams, has climaxed the efforts of the athletic staff in the glories achieved by the teams representing the Academy this year. Much credit is due to the new academy athletic director, Earl Goheen, who was responsible for the final impetus given to the betterment of the athletics at St. Thomas. Coach Goheen issued some fifty-five suits to the varsity representatives of the Academy, and an additional thirty-five were given out by the Intra-mural mentor, Joe Nomejko, to his charges. Goheen developed the team around last year's lei termen, and produced a brilliant eleven as worthy of mention as any squad ever produced by St. Thomas.. Joe Nomejko took charge of his intramural boys who were comprised mostly of freshmen and sophomores, and, for the rest of the season, put them through a training routine intermingled with a few outside games, in the hope of producing his charges into varsity material for next year. This program, originated by Father Mooney, former principal of the Academy, has proven very satisfactory during the past three years. The Cadet basketball season was not without its little glories having furnished more than sufficient opposition to uphold the honor of former Academy basketball teams. The commendable showing made by the team during their extensive campaign resulted in an invitation extended to them to participate in the National Catholic Tournament in Chicago. The baseball, track, hockey, and tennis teams, were not without their distinctions. They have all exemplified the highest ideals of American Athletics, and the old adage holds true when the gray clad warriors of St. Thomas leave the field, It is not whether you win or lose—it is how you play the game. Throughout the entire year, the students engaging in any phase of athletic en- deavor were checked very closely in regard to their standings, both scholastic and mili- tary. Any serious default on a record forced the offender out of future participation in athletics. Players on any of the various teams were compelled to adhere strictly to the eligi- bility rules set forth by the Northwest Catholic Conference. Several of the main re- strictions embodied in the code are; no boy shall be over twenty years of age, no boy may take part in athletics if he has been in school over eight semesters, every boy rep- resenting his school must maintain a passing grade in seventy-five percent of subjects carried. These are but a few of the regulations by which the St. Thomas athletic pro- grams are governed. In closing we wish to add that we feel that the purple and gray warriors of St. Thomas will not only carry on in the manner of which we are all so proud, but will battle on to the heights that they are destined for. [ 85 ] The Si. Thomas Coaching Staff Joe Nomejko Earl Gohefn Don Inckrson HE students of St. Thomas, during the past year, have been well supplied with competent guidance in their athletic endeavors. In addition to head coach Gohecn, who came to St. Thomas early in September to guide the destiny of the future athletic teams, such names as Don Ingerson, hockey and track coach: Frank Schneider, baseball coach; and Joe Nomejko, coach of tennis, arc to be found on the coaching staff roster. Although greatly handicapped by his untimely entrance into the position of head coach, Earl Gohecn performed wonders with the large football squad. Not only did he mold a light and inexperienced squad into a team full of fight and spirit, but he pro- duced a winning club that battered its way to a share of the Northwest Catholic Con- fercnce title. Coach Goheen also showed his ability as a basketball coach by producing the best St. Thomas team in many years. As a result of the splendid showing made by the basketball squad, this year they were invited to participate in the National Catholic Tournament at Chicago. The members of the coaching staff showed exceptional ability in handling boys throughout the season, and produced teams that were well worth the support of the student body. The cadets themselves, through this medium, wish to express their deep- est gratitude to the coaching staff, who won the admiration of the boys with which they worked, for being so true in spirit, genuine in interest, and outstanding in talent.

Casey Introduction to Football Bill Matson. Captam Quarterback OR the third consecutive year. Coach O'Rourke called for the nineteen thirty-three football as- pirants. This year the turn-out was tremen- dous, being nearly one-half of the Academy. Never before in previous years had such an astounding display of spirit been shown nor had better material ever been presented for selection. In the first two weeks the Academy gridiron represen- tation learned more about ftxitball from Mr. O'Rourke than most teams do in two months from the average coach Passing, kicking, calisthenics, and perfecting formation were all a part of the day's drill. Coach O'Rourke began scrimmaging his proteges against outside competition and as a result was soon able to weld his material into a power- ful and effective machine. However, to the sorrow of the entire Academy, our beloved Coach was destined to leave after only a few week's work. His departure was looked upon by the team as a sort of downfall, but to their surprise a new and tal- ented young coach arrived from California to take over the gridiron campaign. This he did very- well for he led the Academy to one of the most victorious football seasons [88} in the history of the school. More power to Coach Ea Goheen. WEST HIGH vs. ST. THOMAS After two weeks of tremendous exertion the football team staged its first battle with their old rival West High. The day was hot and sultry and the players were under a pressing strain as this was their first game, and was with one of the strongest teams ol the Minneapolis league. However the staunch cadets showed a very good standing in comparison with previous years. The final score was 21-2 in favor of West High. In the first quarter Art Do- horty got away for a touchdown but was called back be- cause of fouling on the part of his team-mates. Later on the gnd-ironers steadily pushed their opponents back to the latter own six yard line and forced a kick. The Tom- mies rushed in so quickly that the kick was partially blocked and West High regained the ball behind their own goal line giving the Cadets two points for a safety play. Due to the fact that we were outweighed and outskilled, the opposing team proved their ability in the attack that they launched against us in the second half, mak- ing three touchdowns and one kick. Matson proved his extreme ability as a quarterback in this game. Practically even,’ man out for the team managed to play in this game. The game was also a pointer as to the future ability the team would have. John Farabaugh Center OFF TO OWATONNA [89] SHATTUCK vs. ST. THOMAS Following the West High game the Tommies took a trip down to Shattuck school for their second game. The day was very hot and the game was extremely difficult and hard to play due to the dust. Both teams were about equal- ly matched, Shattuck probably having the edge in weight. Shattuck made the first score of the game on a long end run. St. Thomas retaliated with a forward pass and a touchdown for six points. Before the half was over Shat- tuck again scored on their opponents. At the beginning of the second half the Tommies commenced a fierce attack and drove the Shads back to their own five yard line. Shattuck was forced to kick but the punt was partially- blocked and St. Thomas recovered the ball on Shattuck's own four yard line. However the Shads held out for four downs and regained the ball. They were forced to kick again but once more the kick was blocked and this time recovered by- St. Thomas on Shattucks own two yard line. The Cadets pushed the ball over the line in the first two downs and Casey drop kicked for extra point. For the rest of the game St. Thomas played defensively and the game finally ended with the score 13-12 St. Thomas favor. Bill Kaiser proved to be one of the finest blocking ends St. Thomas has had for the past few years. One of the notable substitutions of the game was little Martin Kennedy, who small as he was took the knocks along with the rest of the team. Jirry Rieman Tackle ST. JOHNS vs. ST. THOMAS Next on the schedule was the game with St. Johns to be played at Collcgeville. Both teams proved to lx- fairly even as to weight and skill. However one of the great drawbacks was the fact that the day was very windy and perfect passing would lie difficult. The first score of the game was made by St. Thomas on a pass from Casey to Corbett. In the same quarter following the kick off by the Tommies, St. Johns ran for a touchdown and made their extra point, thus leaving the score tied at the end of the first half. In the second half St. Thomas recovered a fum- ble in mid-air and Me Nicholas ran for the Tommies sec- ond touchdown. Following this Casey kicked the goal (It r w m might lie well to add that on this event Layman scratched E olf the 2S demerits he had given Casey that morning.) The rest of the game was devoted to defensive playing and proved quite uneventful. ST. THOMAS vs. CENTRAL Art DoHhRTY Half back The most thrilling game of the season was the St. Thomas-Central game played at the St. Thomas night football field. For several y'ears m the past Central had regularly had an extremely difficult time holding the score to a tie for the first three quarters and then only by the [90] KAYDET breaks in football did they manage to push the pigski� over the cadet's zero line. Never before had St. Thomas offered such spectacular plays by such spectacular players. In the first quarter the cadets showed a powerful of fen' sivc team and threatened to upset the Centralites when they pushed the ball down to the opponents 3 yards line for a first down. The breaks of the game, however, was against them and at this critical moment they fumbled and the ball was regained by Central. In the second quarter the team seemed to go wild and McNicholas tore around end for two 25 yard gains in succession. Following this Casey hurled a long pass way down the field to Bill Cor bett who ran 10 yards before he was downed on Central’s 15 yard line. Once again Central held our men away from their goal line. In the third quarter McNicholas made the most spectacular run of the season, taking the ball from the cadets 28 yard line to the opponents 38 yard line, but the run. although spectacular, led to no scoring. It was only in the last minute of the game that Central was able to score a touchdown and this was done only by a pass. The cadets blocked well during the entire game with Helperin, Casey and Dolan clearing the way for McNicholas' runs. In the line Farabaugh, center, and Corbett, left end, stood out. Frank Patka Half-back ST. THOMAS vs. ST. CLOUD St. Thomas played their second finest game of the year on Sunday afternoon in a dismal rain at the cadets' home field. This day the cadets turned their football field into a parade ground, marching through St. Cloud Ca- thedral 43-0, and assuring themselves of no worse than a tie for the Northwest Catholic league championship. It was a great day for the Tommy preps who had not even approached a title since 1929 and thoroughly avenged the 12-0 defeat they received at the hands of the up-state team a year ago. In this game McNicholas again showed his skill by making a 55 yard end run the first time St. Thomas took the ball for a touchdown. Other scores in the game were Dolan, Helperin, Fcgan, Casey and Capt. Matson. In the line Bannon, left tackle, and Farabaugh, center, showed amazing defensive power. DE LA SALLE vs. ST. THOMAS De La Salle was next on the books, a game to be played here to determine whether St. Thomas would win or tie for the Northwest Catholic league championship. The day was quite cold and the ground had a thin layer of snow over it. The cadets started out strong by making a score Miki; Dolan immediately. This was done by a long pass to Corbett who [91 1 hen ran the rest of the way for the touchdown. Casey raised the score to seven by a well directed drop kick. De La Salle quickly retaliated with a touchdown just as the quarter ended. They failed to complete their extra point. In the second half the Tommies were slightly over confi- dent and De La Salle sprinted down the field two times for two consecutive touchdowns and completing the extra point by a place kick on the second one. The loss of this game was a bitter disappointment to the Tommies as it left them in a position only to tie for the Conference title. In this game Kaiser again showed his skill by catching a long pass from Casey and thus putting the Tommies in position for a touchdown, however they did not make it due to a fumble. Outstanding players in this game were Bannon, guard. Neglia, guard, Farabaugh, center, and Corbett, end. In the baekfield Casey, Dolan, McNicholas and Hel- perin, were outstanding. ST THOMAS vs. CRETIN Ji rky Hi i.PhRiN A crowd of more than 3000 fans turned out to see St. Fullback Thomas' 1933 home-coming game with their old rivals. Cretin. This game was featured by two of the longest touchdown runs of the high sch x l football season, McNicholas carrying the ball for an 80 yard dodging, dashing, squirming run for St. Thomas' only touchdown. The outstanding players in this game were Bannon, guard, Farabaugh. center, Helpenn, fullback and Matson, quarterback. The game was played by two teams who were both of the same character in offensive and defensive playing. It had no exceptional plays other than the one previously mentioned. Both teams held like brick walls, and there was only one completed pass during the entire game. Cretin being one of the Acad's greatest rivals, the defeat was strongly felt, but it remained for the basket-ball team to defeat the Aldirchitcs and decisively show the su periority of St. Thomas in athletics. PILLSBURY vs. ST. THOMAS To end the season the team took a trip to Owatonna to play their final game with Pillsbury. St. Thomas won this game with a score of six to nothing. The day was very cold and the ground was covered with about two inches of snow so that the Cadets, although by far the superior team, and little chance to prove their skill. One of the most spectacular plays of the season was a pass launched by Casey and intended for McNicholas, however Mc- Nicholas tripped and Kaiser ran out of his way to catch the ball on the tips ot his lingers as he fell to the ground. Folowing this play Casey again made one of his sensa- tional passes to Corbett for a touchdown. During the en- ure game St. Thomas kepi the ball in enemy territory with the exception of a few completed passes made by the opponents. Andy Gangl End [92] PROSPECTS FOR NEXT YEAR S ACADEMY TEAM Earl Goheen Coach Ross Neglia Co'captain Ed. Ban non Co-captam OLLOWING the most successful football cam- paign St. Thomas has enjoyed in a number of years, we look forward to next year in antici' pation of the future conquests of the St. Tho' mas Academy football team. Viewing the wealth of material on hand and in view of the gallant spirit shown by the team this year, it is with no undue op- timism that we predict at the close of next year's season we will find the Cadets, once more, on the top of the heap. When Coach Goheen issues his call, next fall, for foot- ball aspirants he will find a host of ambitious spirited boys, led by Co-Captains, Ross Neglia and Ed Bannon, along with the letter winners of this year's team. Although the team will have suffered through graduation of some of its he more than enough material to fill those vacancies. Bill Kaiser End sterling members there will The backfield will be led by Frank McNicholas, all conference halfback, John Casey, and Walt Fegan. There will be no need of worry concerning next year's back field. The line, however, is a more difficult problem for Coach Goheen to solve. Ed Bannon and Ross Neglia will take care of right tackle and right guard, respectively, and Jack Lamprey will be back at the end post. The remainder of the team will he composed of new faces, but looking over the prospects which include Tom Riley, Walt Kelly, Ed Patka, who has already demonstrated his ability, Ed Henderson, and a few of the other members of last year's squad, who, though they did not see much action, gained valuable experience, there is little doubt in our minds concerning Coach Go- heen's ability to mold a heavy, hard hitting line. In addition to members of last fall's team a good sup- ply of ambitious footballers will move from the intra- murals into the ranks of the varsity members. They will prove themselves most beneficial having already been drilled in the art of football by intra-mural coach, Joe Nomejko. Among the intra-mural a thorough knowledge of the f undamentals of the Notre Dame System of football is taught the boys, so that they might be familiar with the style when they become members of the varsity team. So we can say to the boys who will comprise next year's squad that in view of the above mentioned facts we expect them not only to equal the mark set by the team this year, but to go on and surpass it. and in closing we wish to say that if the same fight and spirit is shown next Frank Winter year that was shown last fall the team will fulfill our Tackle greatest anticipations. [93] Coach Captam Manager Goheen Corbett Plouf HE 1932-33 basketball team stands out as one of the most successful teams St. Thomas lias had for some time. When Coach Earl Goheen called to- gether the candidates for the basketball team he was greeted by a squad composed of six lettermen and a number of dependable reserves from last season. Heading the list of veterans from last year were Corbett, Bannon, Doherty, Patka, Casey, and McNicholas. Bridges, Dolan, Klcszyk, and Goodman, who were also veterans, but were not awarded letters, likewise gave praiseworthy service during the season. From this group and the addition of Derham. later regular center. Coach Goheen formed a very fine team. This organization, due to its remarkable success during the season was rewarded in the form of a trip to Chicago to play in the National Catholic Basketball Tourna- ment in answer to an invitation extended by Loyola University, sponsors of the tourna- ment. In the drawings St. Thomas drew the strong St. Xavier's quintet from Louisville, Kentucky. Due to the advantage in height and the irresistible drive of the Kentuckians, the Cadets were defeated by the score of 38 to 14. ST. THOMAS- -16; ST. JOHN'S—15 After winning five straight practice games with White Bear, Harding, College Freshman, and St. Columba, the team entered the conference struggle with St. Johns as the first opponent, on the Johnnie's floor. This opening game of the Conference proved to be a very thrilling affair. The score at the half being 7 to 8. With Capt. Corbett leading a determined drive the team eked out a one point victory, the final score 16 to 15. Corbett and Goodman were the high point men with six points each.

The team entered the game heavy favorites but soon found it was to be another hard fight. Ban non lead the team to an 11 to 10 advantage at half time, but the sustained drive of the Cathedralites in the second half gave them a hard earned victory, winning 22 to 18. ST. THOMAS—22; PILLSBURY 11 In the first home game of the season the team showed the local supporters what they could do. They held the Pillsbury team to one basket and two free throws during the half, while they made 14 points. The final score was 22 to 11 with Corbett leading the offense. ST. THOMAS—12; SHATTUCK 15 In an unusually slow and listless game the Cadets were handed their second set' back of the season by dropping a 15 to 12 game to a hustling Shattuck five on the Tommy floor. ST. THOMAS 20; DE LA SALLE—33 St. Thomas entered the game as underdogs but fought with true St. Thomas spirit to hold the Islanders to an 11 to 17 lead at the half. The team found difficulty in hit' ting the basket with its usual accuracy, Patka and Casey making the only field goals, and at the same time De La Salle displayed their finest form of the season. [95] ST. THOMAS 27; ST. JOHNS- -23 The Cadets again rose to the heights capable of them in the art of basketball. It was Captain Corbett who start- ed the fireworks as the Cadets scampered off to a 19 to 9 lead at the half. After gaining a 25 to 12 margin in the final period. Coach Gohecn gave his entire squad a chance to show their wares. The game ended 27 to 23. ST. THOMAS 30; CRETIN -26 A revamped lineup featuring Derham at center, Corbett and Casey at forward, and Bannon and McNicholas hold- ing down the guard posts, outplayed and outshot the high- ly touted Cretimtes, who had dropped but one encounter to St. Paul opposition up to this time. They also held a victory over De La Salle. Cretin was the first to score but Corbett, Derham and Casey began connecting with un- usual rapidity to put St. Thomas ahead 18 to 11 at the half. By adding 12 points to their total in the third period they had a 30 to 16 lead to defend, After the withdrawal of Derham and Bannon on fouls Cretin put on a deter of a victory by four points. THOMAS—36; PILLSBURY -24 With our plucky little forward, Casey, leading the offense St. Thomas rolled up a 20 to 11 lead at the half. They added 16 points to this total in the final half to make it 36 to 24. Casey, Derham, and Corbett were highpoint men with twelve, six. and five points respectively. ST. THOMAS 24; DE LA SALLE 19 With Corbett, Derham and Casey leading the often sive, the Cadets surprised De La Salle in a big way and when the half ended the scoreboard showed the score to Iv 20 to 7 in favor of St. Thomas. De La Salle came back in the second half with a strong offense but the Cadets were out to win the game and did. They humbled the proud Islanders 24 to 19. This put them in a tie for first place for the Twin City Catholic Championship. ST THOMAS 17; ST. CLOUD-15 St. Thomas was out for revenge after having St. Cloud spoil their record in the first half of the season. They were out for victory but found it hard to obtain being tied 10 to 10 at the half. However the irresistible spirit and drive of the Cadets could not be stopped and they emerged victorious 17 to 15.

THOMAS- 27; SHATTUCK—32 After winning five straight games against exceptionally strong opposition St. Thomas found the Shattuck defense almost impenetrable and they trailed 22 to 12 at the half. In the second halt the team put on a determined fight and outscored the Shads 15 to 10 but this was insufficient. The Cadets scored the same number of field goals but the Shads found victory in their gift shots. ST. THOMAS 25; CRETIN 28. When St. Thomas journeyed to Cretin for the final game they found Cretin in anything but a compromising mood, as the Cadet team had previously spoiled Cretin's record. Casey lead the offense but the team could not overtake the fast stepping Cretinites. The score at the half was 17 to 14 in Cretin's favor. The game continued in a very exciting manner. Cretin never leading by more than three or lour points. There was forty seconds to play and St. Thomas was within one point of Cretin and Rossine sank a one handed field goal to clinch the victory tor Cretin 28 to 2 5. Casey, the brilliant St. Thomas sophomore, was all over the floor dropping in five field goals and two tree throws for a total of 12 points. Bannon and McNicholas showed their true worth as guards by their brilliant performance. Al- though losing, the Cadets ended their season in a blaze of glory. MiKt Dolan Colter PROSPECTS FOR 19.54 When the 1934 basketball season rolls around. Coach Earl Colleen will have little to worry about. He will have lost a sterling player in captain Bill Corbett, but the rest of the team of 1933 will be intact. Casey, Bannon, Dur- ham and McNicholas have all proven their worth. With this nucleus a fine, well-balanced, accurate-shooting team should be had. These men have all been under fire and should give an able account of themselves. It looks as it the team will be strong candidates for the North-West Catholic Conference Title. The reserve strength will be a little weak but barring all accidents the team looks good. Coach Goheen is very good at turning out winning teams and things point to another trip to the National Catholic Tournament at Loyola. [97] Coach Captain Captain elect Manager Ingerson Winter Bruzf.k Rieman HBOUT thirty five candidates answered the first hockey call issued by Coach Ingcrson shortly after the Christmas vacation. This list was headed by Cap tain elect Frank Winter, Jerry Helperin, Fred Van Bergen, Boh Bruzek, and Jerry Smith, all lettermen of last year. Nightly practices were held by Coach Ingcrson in the hopes of developing a formidable squad in time for the opening game on January 11. With the exception of a few men the team was comprised mostly of small but extremely fast puck chasers. Due to the lack of weight on the part of the forward line Coach Ingcrson found it necessary to use several de- fense men on the forward wall in order to gain the necessary weight. ST. THOMAS vs. ST. PAUL ACADEMY The Academy stick handlers played their opening game with St. Paul Academy on the latter's rink. The opposing team furnished a very thorough test for the Cadets as their whole team was comprised of veterans of last year. The game was a hard fought battle throughout with the experience and size of the opponents counting much against the Academy. Coach Ingcrson did considerable substituting and made numerous changes in hopes of finding the most smoothly working combination. Immediately fob lowing the opening game Coach Ingcrson spent the next week drilling his proteges on their mistakes in the hopes of having them ready for the game with Cretin. ST. THOMAS vs. CRETIN The Cadet puck chasers found themselves playing their second game of the year on the home ice.

St. Thomas came back to score in the second period twice on goals scored by Paul Ray and Robert Bruzek. The last period was a smashing bang up affair with Cretin shoving over two markers in the final minutes of the game. The cadets proved themselves capable ot furnishing trouble for their opponents in the future games. ST. THOMAS vs. ST. PAUL ACADEMY In a return game with St. Paul Academy the cadets displayed a more polished team. The splendid passing attack of the rivals and the sound defense of the Tommies made the contest a fierce struggle. Duke Newell the Academy goal guard did some versatile work in the nets stopping thirty'three of the St. Paul Academy boys' bullet- like shots. The Cadets emerged from the game at the short end of the score but a more interesting game was not witnessed during the season. ST. THOMAS vs. SHATTUCK Following the second St. Paul Academy contest the Cadets traveled to Shattuck for a clash with the Shads, last year's Northwest champions. The Cadets did exception- ally well against their powerful opponents holding them to four goals. Again the small- ness of the Tommy forward line blocked their way to a win but their great spirit drove them to a fighting finish, causing the opponents to fight desperately for their victory. [ 99 ] 19 '!) 33 Frank Winter, capiam Defense ■ ST. THOMAS vs. CRETIN After two weeks of idleness caused by Mid Year Exams St. Thomas met Cretin in a return game on the Groveland rink. The lack of practice was noticeable on the parts of both teams but the Cadets managed to pierce the Cretin nets as a result of a long fly shot by Bob Bruzek. The splendid teamwork of the midget forward line composed of Jimmy Nolan. Robert Ray and Paul Ray was outstand' ing. The driving attack of the Cretinites proved to lx too much for the Academy and the game ended with Cretin winning. ST. THOMAS vs. DE LA SALLE The Cadets' first game with their Islander rivals was a keen and exciting i racas. After an extreme cold spell lasting two weeks the Cadets were anxious to enter the ice again and meet their worthy opponents. The game was scoreless for the first two periods and then the speedy Cadet forward line worked themselves through the Islander defense while Paul Ray drove the disc past the cagey goal guard. Soon after this De La Salle started a mad drive for a score. They succeeded and the game ended in a tie. An overtime period was then played and the crafty Islanders put on another drive and again succeeded in outskating the Tommy netmen. Jerry Helperin and Frank Winter, the staunch de- fensemen of the Academy, caused much trouble for the De La Salle puckmen while Heine, Van Bergen and Bruzek showed splendid cooperation on the forward line. Alter the season had closed. Coach Ingerson called a meeting of the squad for the purpose of electing next year's Captain. Robert Bruzek. a dependable wingman and a veteran of three years was unanimously elected. Mono- grams were awarded to Captain Frank Winter, Captain- elect Robert Bruzek, John Miller, Paul Kelley, Paul Ray, Robert Ray, John Heine, Fred Van Bergen, John Sullivan, Frank Newell, Richard Leahy, James Nolan, Jerry Smith and a manager's letter to Gerald Reiman. ST. THOMAS vs. ST. PAUL SEMINARY Following the second game with De La Salle, the Cadets played the speedy St. Paul Seminary sextet. The game was played on the opponents' ice and turned out to be a thrill- ing spectacle. The Cadets started the game with a driving offense and scored three goals in the first period. The sec- ond period was less exciting than the first with both teams playing defensively and cautiously. The third period turned out to be the most spectacular twelve minutes of play that the Academy puck-men had ever encountered by any of their rivals. The Seminarians came back with a smooth attack and scored four goals while the Cadets man- aged to slip the puck past the opposing goal-guard for another counter and tie the score. An overtime period was then played. Both teams fought madly for a winning score Jerry Helperin Defense [ 100 ] hut none were made. A second overtime period wa played and again the onslaughts of both teams were cheeked. The game was then called and both teams were satisfied with the fine sportsmanship and g(x d, hard play- ing that resulted from this memorable contest. ST. THOMAS vs. DE LA SALLE The final game of the season was played with De La Salle on their rink. The game was interesting throughout with both teams displaying fine work on the forward lines. The Islanders managed to score twice in the first and third periods, and their experience and size held the fight- ing Cadets without a point. The game was well played and showed a great improvement over the previous game with our North Minneapolis rivals. The splendid spirit that was shown by the seniors in their last game was a credit to the school and squad. PROSPECTS FOR Coach Captaiyi 1934 Don Ingerson Bob Bri 2FK Ji-.rky Smith Wingmun At the end of the season. Coach Ingerson called a meeting of the squad to elect a captain for the 1934 sextet. Robert Bruzek, a dependable wingman and a veteran of three years was unanimously elected. Coach Ingerson thanked the squad ior their splendid cooperation and excellent sportsmanship and stated his plans for the ensuing year and hockey season. Their are many fine players returning and with the capable coaching of Mr. Ingerson and the leadership of Bob Bruzek the next season should be a most successful one. The defense position will undoubtedly be strong with John Miller and John Sullivan, returning with a season's experience. The material for the forward lines will be exceptionally bright with Paul Ray, Bob Ray, and Jimmy Nolan alter nating with the combination of Bruzek, Heine, and Nico lin. The St. Thomas nets will he a real menace to the opponents next year with Duke Newell and Dick Leahy in them. Both of these boys have had enough experience to make them the best in the state and with another sea- son of competition they are expected to cause a lot of trouble to their rivals. To these boys and to the seniors who are leaving, we wish the best of success in all their games and undertakings. [101] Fred VanBergen WmKmun Coach C. R. Branafort Captain Bill McHenry Manager Ted Laugh lin HEN the call for track candidates was issued last Spring, only twenty-two men reported for the first work-out. Coach Branafort found that he had only three lettermen returning from last year’s squad, and these three, Capt. McHenry, Charles Barkley, and Mike Dolan, were all field event men, and that no seasoned track performers were in evidence. Because of the small squad and lack of track event men, many of the point getters in the field had to take on the added burden of winning on the oval. Capt. Bill McHenry, John Para- baugh, Jerry Reiman, and Mike Dolan did decathlon work in this respect, while Bruce Page, Art Rebmann, Charles Barkley and Jimmie Rohr, upheld the track honors. For their first meet of the season, the green Tom- mies faced the redoubtable St. Paul Central track team, with little hope of victory, but determined to put up a g(x)d fight. ST. THOMAS vs. ST. PAUL CENTRAL The Cadets dropped the first meet by a score of 63- 34, the defeat of the Tommies being caused by the lack of g(xxJ dash men. In the field events, the St. Thomas boys made a good showing, by winning the high and broad jumps, the pole vault and discus, and tieing for first in the shot-put and javelin throw. Capt. McHenry led the scoring by virtue of two firsts in the jumps. This meet showed Branafort that if we were to win any meets at all, we must have good dash men. During the ensuing week. Bill McHenry was tried out and gave promise of developing into a fast dash man. The next meet was with Humboldt, and the Cadets were primed to take this.

An improved track team faced Johnson, however, and showed, in a small way, what the Cadets would do when they reached their stride. McHenry scored a third in the 100 and 220 and took first in the jumps, to gain high point honors. Dolan, Farabaugh and McNicholas scored one-two-three in the pole vault, and Rohr won the javelin. Reiman and (uxxJman won first and second in the weights, and second in the discus. The next meet was to be with Mechanic Arts on the Macalester oval. ST. THOMAS vs. MECHANIC ARTS A strong Mechanic Arts team swept easily through the meet with the Cadets, winning by a margin of 58-?7. It was an off day for the Cadets, who scored firsts only in the pole vault, broad jump and a tie for first in the high jump. The Tommies looked rather ragged throughout the whole meet, and the defeats of the past two weeks showed their effects. Next week. Cretin was to be met, and brushing aside the memory of the past defeats by the pub- lic high school teams, the Cadets prepared for the meeting with the Cretin tracksters. boys, and we lost the meet Johnson team, pooled their John Farabaugh Field Events [ 103 ] Irwin Goodman Weights ST. THOMAS vs. CRETIN A triumphant Cadet team from the Academy, showed real power in defeating the Cretin cinder men by a score of 58-54. Capt. McHenry ended his career in a blaze of glory, by winning firsts in the 220, 100 and high jump and broad jump. Bill also set a season record in the high jump by a leap of 5 ft., 6 in. The Cadets registered wins in every event but the 440 and the low hurdles. In the pole vault, St. Thomas tied for first and second. Jim Rohr and Farabaugh took first and second in the javelin throw to clinch the victory. This meet closed the most disastrous season the Tonv mies have ever had, and also marked the last appearance m a St. Thomas track suit, of Bill McHenry, the decathalon champion of the Academy. Bill will go down in the list of track athletes who have made themselves renowned in the Academy by their prowess on the Track, along with such men as Schniedwind, Brodsky, Urban, and Jim Louey. With a sigh we close this account ot the past track season, and with gladdened eye turn to the prospects for 193 3. ST. THOMAS ACADEMY vs. ST. THOMAS COLLEGE A younger and far more inexperienced track team showed surprising strength in giving the older Tommies a good run for their money. The score, 65-35, is no criterion of the fine showing the iunior Tommies made. Despite the naturally strong opposition, the Juniors were able to gar- ner three firsts, McHenry winning the high jump and the broad jump, and Jim Rohr managed to eke out live points in the javelin. In the sprints we were del' initely outclassed, but Paul O'Connell showed future promise by getting third in the ten flat 100. Reimann managed to get seconds in both the shot-put and discus, and Goodman, his running mate showed definite improve- ment in both events. To finish the meet a plucky relay team bowed unwillingly to the fast College team, which was clocked in 1:38.5. Though this meet was lost, it showed in a material way what the Junior Tommies could do under pressure. [ 104 ] Bruce Pace Distance Prospects of the 1933 Track Team Coach Don Ingerson Captanvelcci MiCHABL Doi.an Manager Joseph Rost ITH the arrival of ol' man Spring our thoughts turn quite naturally to the prospects of a sue cessful track season in 1933. At the time of writing, the first track call has been issued, and forty enthusiastic cadets have responded. Heading the list of candidates is Mike Dolan, captain- elect, and pole vault specialist. The track squad is the largest in the history of the school, and because of the many boys out for it. no doubling will be necessary This season's team will be coached by Don Ingerson, a student in the physical education department, who has had much experience in track. Jerry Reimans Weights The weakest part of the Cadet team has been the lack of good dash men. This season Bayne O'Brien, Paul O'Connell. Fenton Dooley and Bob jerue will attempt to garner points in this event. O'Brien and O'Connell are regular speed merchants, both running the hundred in ten flat. Some good half-milers have reported. Dooley being sure of taking some firsts this year, and Bill Quinlan and Bill Rodman show promise of great things. The hurdle events will lx handled by Fred Van Bergen, Farrell, Fd. Wolf and Mike Dolan. The four-forty field is rather large, Art Rcbmann being the out- standing runner at this time. In the field events, always a strong point for the Cadets, Jerry Reimann leads in the weights. Irwin Goodman, a letterman from last year has steadily improved and will lx Reimann s running mate. In the pole vault John Hoff- man and Mike Dolan carry St. Thomas hopes. Meets have been scheduled with Central, Johnson. Humboldt. Cretin. Shattuck, and the Carleton Relays. When the gun cracks out for the beginning of the season, we know that the Tommies will get off to a fast start, grab the inside lane, and will make a strong bid at the finish. Last year's field meet gave evidence of strong material in both field and running events. This custom besides giv- ing every cadet a chance to test his prowess, stimulates a rather sorrowful lack of interest in one of the world's greatest sports. Dis-interest in track is defintely on the wane at St. Thomas, and with the enthusiasm the team now has they are bound to take their place among the speed merchants of the Northwest. Coach Ingerson knows all the fine points of the sport, and, what is more import- ant. his own genuine enthusiasm for track is bound to fire up the ambition of his men. Pall O'Conn ill Ddshmdti [ 105 ] Coach Captam Manager O'Rol'rke Reiners Monaghan ST. THOMAS 9; BLAKE 11 HE Academy ball players dropped their initial contest to the Blake hitters in a wild, free hitting, ball game on the Blake diamond. In the opening inning, the Tommies rapped the ball tor three, well bunched hits which registered four runs. However the early lead was soon diminished when the Blake swatters came to bat in their half of the initial session and pushed eight markers across the plate. In the second and third cantos the Cadets managed to whittle the Blake lead to two runs, but in the fourth, the opposition pulled away once again by scoring two more counters. Ken Healy relieved Rohr and held the Blake team hitless for the three remaining innings. Art Doherty led the Academy batters, garnering three hits in as many trips to the plate, including a home run. ST. THOMAS—10; CONCORDIA 7 The O'Rourke proteges squeezed out a ten to seven win over Concordia in their first victory of the season. With “Smokey” Henderson pitching excellent ball and the Tommie infield grabbing everything in range, the Cadet ball-chasers at last appeared to hive hit their stride. In the first inning, the Cadets hopped away to a substantial three run lead by virtue of two hits and a walk. In the next inning, they strengthened their lead by counting four more times. During the first five frames the Cobbers hit safely five times, but counted only twice, in the second stanza. In the sixth, the Acads scored twice more, and again in the ninth they managed to squeeze a final marker across the rubber. In the final three innings the Academy defense wobbled a bit, and the Concordia batters drove five runs home on six hits.

In the very first inning, Stinson, Central left fielder, poled a homer out into light field with the bases crowded. However, the large four run lead failed to silence the Cadet bats, and the Tommies functioned to count six markers in the second frame. The Acads were held hitless and scoreless through the next three innings, but came back to rally in the sixth when they scored three runs. The Centralites however were not to he checked, and they tallied in every session except the second. ST. THOMAS- 0; DE LA SALLE 1 The Cadets lost a heartbreaking decision to De La Salle in the next game tin the schedule, one to nothing. A1 Krumlebeek pitched one of the best games ever recorded at St. Thomas allowing the opponents but two hits during the contest. In the open- ing session Matson connected for a sizzling two base hit to centerfield, and managed to reach third base only to be marooned when the following Cadet batters failed to connect. From that point on, the game was a pitcher’s duel with the Tommies making four more hits, but not bunched enough to push across a run. In the last inning one of the opposing batsman connected for a three base hit to deep left field for the second De La Salle safety of the afternoon. He scored a moment later on a fly to left which was pegged wildly into the plate. For the Cadets Krumplebeck, Reiners, and Corbett performed extremely well. ST. THOMAS 14; ST. PAUL ACADEMY 3 The Tommies scored their most impressive victory of the season behind the pitch- ing of Ed Henderson on the St. Paul Academy diamond. The game was filled with [ 107 ] spectacular fielding and brilliant pitching. The Cadets counted fifteen hits against the opponents five. Reiners and Corbett garnered all the batting honors the former collecting five hits in six attempts and the later smashed out four safeties in six trips to the plate. ST. THOMAS 3: DE LA SALLE--2 Four hits, coupled with the effective twirling of Al Krumplebeck, was sufficient to give the Cadets a three tv two victory over the De La Salle Islanders in their second meeting of the season. Bill Corbett’s long homer over the left field fence scored Casey and Matson, who were on the paths by virtue of an error and a single. The De La Salle moundsman. was nicked for only two other blows, both singles, during the remainder of the game. Bannon connected for a hit in the fourth, and Reiners singled in the seventh. Matson and Reiners compiled the highest averages, but Corbett was the batting star of the day with his four bagger accounting for all the Cadet Bill Matson, capt. elect markers. 1st Base ST THOMAS S: CRETIN 7. For the first time during the last three years the Cadets were able to trip their arch rival Cretin High School. Displacing a marvelous brand of baseball, excellent pitching, stellar fielding, and a steady batting eye St. Thomas got away to an early lead anti was never headed. Al Krumplebeck was able to keep the 10 odd hits obtained by the Cretinites widely scat- tered. while his mates bunched hits m the first and sixth innings to score five runs. The onlookers were brought to their feet in the second inning when Ross Neglia, playing center field, raced far back to the stands to leap into the air to prevent a sure home run from the bat of a Cretin man. The game was filled with many of such amazing catches making it most exciting throughout. In the first inning a walk issued to John Casey and hits by Neglia, Bannon, Doherty, Corbett, and Matson count- ed for four runs. For the next three innings the Cadets en- joyed a comfortable lead, but in the fourth the Cretin batsmen got their eye on the ball and collected three runs on as many hits. The home boys responded in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings collecting four runs. Cretin appeared determined to fight, however, and scored four runs before the rally was finally stopped by a beautifully executed double play. For the Cadets Corbett. Neglia. Bannon, and Matson showed up exceptionally well both , RX Doherty afield and at the plate. 2 id Base lift [ ios] Prospects of 1933 Baseball Coach Frank Schneider Captanvelea William Matson Manager William Monaghan S the baseball season comes to the foreground once more we wonder if the team this year will be able to repeat their excellent perform- ances of past years. Coach Schneider's great- est problem is the replacing of the pitching staff which suffered the loss of such men as A1 Krumple- beck. Jim Rohr, and Ken Healy. However, eight lettei men are returning to form the nucleus of this year's squad and the burden of the work will rest on their shoulders. The infield is still intact with the exception of catcher Johnny Reiners and second baseman Billy White. First base should be well taken care of in the person of Bill Matson, captain-elect of this year's squad, who will be handling the balls around the initial bag for the third consecutive year. Second base most likely will be guarded by Art Doherty, who plays in the outfield or infield, and will also be playing his third year on the varsity squad. In event that Doherty is used in the outfield Tom Nolan will he on hand for the keystone position. Another veteran of two seasons. Bill Corbett, will handle all balls batted in the direction of the hot corner, with Ed. Kleszyk also available for this position. John Casey will be relied upon to handle the hot ones between second and third. The outfield will be complete with Frank Patka, Jerry Helperin. and Ed Bannon back to chase the long ones again. This trio should also furnish its share of the batting punch in the line-up. Plenty of reserve strength will be found in the persons of Bob Bruzek. Emmet Derham. and Ed Patka. The battery will find the most reliable pitcher of last year's squad, Ed Henderson, back on the mound once more. Much is also expected of Walt Fegan, who is slated to alternate with the veteran Henderson. The catching duties will fall either to Ed Bannon, John Heine or Dick Puhl. Coach Schneider's statement regarding the present team is as follows: “The outlook for this season is very good. Although I am in no position at the present to predict wins or losses, I can say that if the pitchers come through we will be at the top. Ed Ki.kszyk 3rd Base Bn i Corbett 3 rd Base [109] Coach Captam Manager Ray Wachtler Dan Leonard Meyer Si pornick HEN Coach Ray Wachtler issued his first call for candidates for the nine' teen thirty-two season, only one veteran turned out. This was Dan Leonard, the captain. Wachtler was able to build rather a formidable team around Dan and some other accomplished players. The team was not lacking in ability and soon rounded out into a smashing, driving aggregation which was to carry the banners of the Academy through another net campaign. Along with Leonard there were teamed Gaddis, Kearns, and the two Ray brothers. Each of these members won their share of the individual matches with Gaddis and Farrell matching talents to subdue the foe in the doubles. During the Spring campaign, matches were arranged with DeLaSalle, St. Paul Academy, Biake, and Shattuck. A two game series was played with all opponents with the exception of Shattuck. This match was called off necessarily due to a change in the date of Commencement. This year a change in the coaching staff has placed Joe Nomejko on the roster of the Academy coaches. Joe has won a name for himself in the field of tennis by winning numerous matches for the college while playing on their State Championship Team. It is hoped that, with the material on hand, he will be able to transfer his knowledge into the racquets of the cadet wielders and bring home the bacon” for the glory of the Academy. [110] Left to right R Ray. Gaddis, Farrell. Kearns. P Ray Slpornick. mgr. The aspirants for places on the team started practice inside the armory during the late winter and will emerge from their covering ready to go to work on the oppo' nents following the Easter vacation. The veterans who are returning are: Gordon Kearns, Paul Ray, Robert Ray, along with John Femcding, a seasoned racquet wielder, will most probably make up a set of netmen that will give the opposition plenty to worry about. Under the proper guidance and instruction of Coach Nemejko the Acad' emy Tennis Team should repeat for a successful season and thus keep up the name cs- tablished by other St. Thomas teams which stands as a significant symbol of their su- periority in athletics. Matches have been arranged with De La Salle, Cretin, Shattuck, Concordia, Blake, Saint Paul Academy. Return matches have also been scheduled with these teams, with the exception of Shattuck. The team has been greatly strengthened by the addition of two new comers, J. Burk and R. Kook Coach Nomejko has arranged the team in the following order: No. 1 man, R. Ray, No. 2 P. Ray, No. 3 R. Boemer, No. 4 J. Burk, No. i R. Koob, and No. 6 F. Farrell. This presents a formidable array, and the season should lx highly successful. [Ill } Intra-mural Football Coach Joe Nomejko Manager Buzz Barton NTRA-MURAL Athletics have long been established in the Academy as a St. Thomas tradition. In the course of the past four years, those spirited students, who organized and participated in extra-curricular activities, have built a firm foundation of interest, which will assure their continuation for years to come. During the last year, the cadets have shown great enthu- siasm towards the intra-murals. With added equipment in the department of athletics, a larger number of students played football this year than last. In addition to the large number that turned out for varsity tootball, some forty-five ambitious cadets turned out to be coached by Joe Nomejko. Intra mural basketball was established m both the lx_ arder and day student leagues. Diamond ball was established on the platoon basis, each platoon organizing a team. The success of the intra-mural activities must without any doubt be attributed to the hard-working student managers. Shorty, “Buzz Barton spent his afternoons working for the worthy cause of intra-mural football. Ray Hancousek managed the intra mural hoarders in basketball.

PUHL After a successful season in 1951. during which the team went without a single loss, the boys were all set to go out for another record year. The first few weeks were spent in getting the hoys in condition, and then a few scrimmages were held amongst themselves to find out the weak spots in the line and backfield. On October 14, dis- playing unusual courage and ability, the intra-murals tied Johnson, with Bayne O'Brien getting away for long gams, and the fighting tackle, Creek O'Heron, making the holes. On October 28, the same determined team that won its last game went out to beat De La Salle 15 to 0, with Hoffman and O'Heron starring. On November 6, the team went over to play the Cretinites, who won the game on an intercepted pass. On November 11, the last game of the season, the team outclassed St. Phillips IS to 6. Here Ed. Wolf and Bayne O'Brien showed their good work by scoring the touch- downs. Certain cadets who showed exceptional ability on the squad, and will in most cases be playing varsity next year are: Tooley, O'Heron, Wolt, Nolan, Hoffman. Costello, and Muesel. The ”A“ squad took great interest in the games, and together with the coaches, enjoyed their daily workouts. [115] « C INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL WINNERS Matson. Pecan. Neclia. Rebman. Nuccio.

Under the able supervision of the Physical Education Class of the College, teams were formed among the boarders and day students and divided into two leagues; the boarder league and the day student league. Each team was provided with a coach who taught the boys the finer points of the game, and put them through a series of drills in preparation for the long campaign to determine the best intra-mural team in the Academy. In the boarder league an eight game schedule v as played, at the end of which Sitzers team emerged the winner with eight wins against no losses. The “Wheelers were the victorious team in the day student league with five victories against only one defeat. The battle for the Academy championship found Sitzers team representing the boarders and the “Wheelers were the day student hope. In the most exciting and hardest fought game of the entire season, for the Academy intra-mural championship, the Sitters subdued the “Wheelers” by the score of 39 to 23, and thus gained for them- selves the recognition of being the best intra mural team in the Academy. With the coming of warm weather the boys are seized with a feeling to get out of doors and play ball. In order to use this energy to good advantage “diamond ball teams were formed on the same order as the intra mural basketball teams. Leagues were formed and teams chosen up for the outdoor campaign for the diamond ball cham- pionship. Besides the sports aforementioned many cadets find their recreation in the vast basement in the Science building. Here are housed pool and snooker tables, ping pong, checkers, and numerous other games arc also furnished for the amusement of the stu- dents. Although no leagues were formed nor tournaments held the Recreation room boasts more champions than any other branch of intra mural sports. There are a half a dozen claimants for the pool and snooker championship, and a good dozen more claim the distinction of being the best ping pong player. All in all many thrilling games are held, and though it has been impossible to select any one person as a champion in these branches of intra mural sports the Recreation room furnished a g x d time for a large number of the boys. Competition between the various Companies has always been keen. So as part of the annual intra-mural sports a day is set aside known as Field Day. On this day track and field events arc held between the Companies of the Cadet Corps to determine the Ivst Company m the field of athletics. In addition to all the track and field events, dia- mond ball, ftxnball throw, sack race, and numerous other interesting contests are held. Last year, on the first annual field day. Company A was returned the victor by a convincing score. This year the other companies will attempt to wrest the crown from Company A. while “A” Company is confident of retaining their laurels. [115] r. i The future of St. Thomas is in the hands of God. Under His guidance there is but one road—forward; to Him, perfection. There is no unrest in the hearts of those who are leav- ing; they know that those who are left will carry on, will ever maintain, even exceed the measure of excellence which St. Thomas has achieved. [ 116] ACTIVITIES A Panorama Of St. Thomas. Activities STUDENT, upon entering St. Thomas, rinds .1 wide arid varied field of activity. There is something to occupy the time and talent of almost every type of student. In the field of athletics, first of all. are the major athletic teams. If an individual does not consider himself good enough for the varsity teams, he may try out for the intra-mural sports. The school sup- plies competent coaches for the intra murals and a great deal of benefit and clean fun may he derived from participation in these events. The annual Eagle Award has proved to he a great incentive to the scholastically minded cadets. It is a very coveted honor and all the students do their utmost for the prided possession of this honor. Last year, a new scholastic award was placed within reach of the cadets. This award has to do mainly with the senior class. It offers to all who have a general average of ninety five per cent or over a diploma graced with Summa Cum Laude. Those who have an average of ninety to riinty four per cent receive one of Magna Cum Laude,” and those of eighty five to ninety a Cum Laude. Strict punishment for laxity in studies has tended to raise St. Thomas into a very enviable position among the Catholic Schools of the country. The choir offers an opportunity, not only to those who possess a voice to demon stratc their ability, but also to those who are interested m serving their God in religious festivities. The Altar Society conducted by Lt. Kennth Deans provides an opportunity for those cadets who wish to take part in the rituals of the Church. Comparitively new at St Thomas, the recreation room provides an opportunity for the cadets to enjoy themselves at pool, ping-pong, and other such games, during the noon-hour and after school. This room has been improved greatly in the last year with the addition of two new pool tables and a snooker table. It has proven itself as a valuable asset to the realm of St. Thomas activities. The crack-platoon and the rifle team provides a chance for those cadets who cxcell in drill and on the rifle range. The military cycle of the cadet's life is the most enthusiastically received of all the activities on the campus. It is the hope and desire of every cadet who enters St. Thomas that some day he may reach that goal which signifies the highest degree of military perfection, the rank of an officer in the St. Thomas Cadet Corps.

Be tore, the Annual consisted of a joint publication with the college consum ing the majority of the pages. This severance of relations with the Cob lege in the issuing of a yearbook was a drastic step, but a profitable one as time has proven. Since then three annuals of supreme quality have been issued to the subscribers. It is our endeavor this year to surpass that high standard set by our predecessors in the editing of our yearbook. The trials and tribulations of the staff are great, the amount of time devoted to the making and publishing is great, and the responsibility of such an undertaking is really too burdensome tor the hands of inexperienced students. However, the willing- ness, spirit, and loyalty of the staff and the cooperation of the student body and the authorities have more than overshadowed these drawbacks. To the older students of St. Thomas nothing need be said about the quality of previous annuals. Those three yearbook staffs that preceded us succeeded in putting out annuals that have attained ratings that head the list of all student publications in every part of the United States. It is our sincere desire that this annual will not only equal those of the past, hut will surpass them. Though the burden of such a task rests on comparatively few students, the year- book represents the accomplishments of the entire school. Thus, if we, in these pages, have succeeded in giving a true account of life at St. Thomas and the activities therein connected, we feel that we have accomplished our task.

HE Academy succeeded last year's ' Esprit de Corp as the Academy's page m the college publication. The page was published every week and contained all the academy news of interest to the cadets, exclusive of sport articles. The material for the page was gathered and arranged solely by members of a cadet stalf, the cadets being aided and advised by Lieutenant Robert P. Felker. the moderator of the staff. The staff was chosen by Lt. Felker for their writing abilities and willingness to work. The members were; Art Gunmen, editor. Bayne O’Brien, associate editor. Wil- liam Corbett, feature writer, and seven special writers, Mike Dolan, Irwin Goodman. George Bordonave, William Monaghan, Thomas Markcll, Arthur Doherty and Wal- ter Kelly. The editors endeavored to interpret the academy news in an amusing and en- lightening fashion. They strove to publish a page that the cadets would look forward to and enjoy. Aside from the ordinary news articles, the page was lightened by the pertinent “snoop column called, “Hi-Lites which was written by O'Brien and Dolan. William Corbett contributed many delightful feature stories and the responsibility of writing editorials fell upon Art Cunnien and Bayne O'Brien. 1 120] Front row. left to nrht Raths Fllming. Lt.

HIS past year has marked the introduction t forensics into the extra-cur- ricuiar activities of St. Thomas Military Academy. Shortly before the Christmas holidays, a debate club was formed which bore fruit in two remarkably successful teams: the affirmative, composed of Cadet Sergeant 11 W ard Fleming, Cadet Sergeant Carl 1‘odlasky. and Cadet Sergeant Clar ence Rowe; the negative, composed of Cadet Sergeant Otto Raths. Cadet John Sulli- van. and Cadet Baldwin Gywnne. The question for debate was that adopted by a national high-school board: Re- solved: That at least fifty percent of all state and local revenue be derived from sources other than tangible property. It has to do with the state and local taxation problems the advisability of adopting a state income tax, the method of tax reductions etc., and offered an interesting, though rather difficult, question for discussion. That the question, as well as the field of self-expression, held an interest for the debaters, is evidenced in the willingness to work and to sacrifice leisure time which characterized the team members. Moreover, the difficulty of the question rather added to its interest: a simple and logical interpretation, arising directly from the maze • ; facts and figures which presented themselves on the subject, gave the St. Thomas teams an encouraging advantage over their opponents. Debates were held by both teams with Roosevelt High School of Minneapolis, Central High School of St. Paul, and the high schools of North St. Paul and South St. Paul. Including the Northwest tournament at which the Cadets were to have been the hosts April 21-22. the teams should have participated in well over twenty five debates «his season. Five members of the squad are juniors, a fact which promises well for next year's team. The team was organized and coached by Lt. Robert Felker, and Cadet Sergeant William Monoghan was manager lor the season. [ 121 ] f «The Officers Club Front rou left to right Van Bergen. FaRabai.GH. Rif.f. Siepert. Pfoser.

Colonel Rue Major Ellis Captain Pfoser President Vice President Secretary T reasnrer HE cadet officer's club of this year proved itself to be the most aggressive unit on the campus. Both military and social functions were carried out under the auspices of its members. Throughout the year weekly meetings were held under the direction of Captain Champeny. At these gatherings drill theory and tactical problems were discussed. Captain Champeny himself proved to be an efficient lecturer and these meetings did much towards raising the officer’s club standard to a high degree. The corps progressed rapidly under the efficient leadership of the officers, who early proved themselves capable ol sustaining the duties of their office in a trustworthy and straightforward manner. This year the officers club had a large part in all academy social functions. The club gave two dances of its own, the Hallowe'en Hop and the Officer's Ball. As is the custom, the armory was gaily decorated for the Hallowe'en Hop, with harvest scenes, arranged through the efforts of the officers themselves. The Officer's Ball, in February, at the Hotel Lowry was conducted in a dignified yet enjoyable manner and proved to he a great success. The large attendance at these two dances proved that the corps was behind the officer's club. Through the initiative of the officers, the officer's club has left behind it a notable record of drill and leadership, which will be hard for next year's club to attain. [ 1 2] HE Non-Commissioned Officers Chib is composed of all the sergeants and corporals in the corps. This organization accomplished a very envious record this year through the splendid cooperation of its members and the able guidance of Captain Champeny. Instilled with the thought that the purpose of the club was for the betterment of the Corps, the weekly meet- ings were of great success. At these meetings problems concerning the corps were discussed, suggestions and criticisms were debated, and the non-coms' were instructed in theoretical and practical work. When the weather was suitable, field problems and drill exercises were conducted out-of-doors or in the Armory, otherwise instruction was carried on in the military class room or Company Headquarters. Besides theoret- ical and practical instruction, the mistakes made in last year's final inspection were gone over and remedied. As in other years the weekly inspections of non-coms by the Tactical Officers were carried on. A higher standard was set this year, and as a result the uniforms and rifles were in much better condition. In this way the non-commissioned officers provided a fine example for their subordinates, and consequently a general proficiency prevailed throughout the entire Corps. Captain Champeny took a group of the non- coms to Fort Snelling where they watched an inspection of Company A of the Third Infantry. The extreme cleanliness of quarters and the perfect condition of the uniforms and equipment so impressed the cadets that it was decided to start a system similar to that used at Fort Snelling. Due to the efficiency attained by the organization this year, the under-classmen holding ranks were given impetus toward the goal of all cadets in their senior year a commission. t 123] ■ HE Monogram Club under the able direction of Earl Goiheen, the director of athl etics, performs a very important function in the activities of St. '1 ho mas. Its purpose is to foster and try to increase the interest in the athletic teams of the school. Its members are those cadets who have received the St. Thomas monogram for any one of the major sports. Through the medium of the Monogram Club the hoarders and day students are brought into closer relationship and eventually into closer friendships. A group such as the Monogram Club is very instrumental in bringing about lx th sportsmanship and a high ideal of fair play. It naturally has for its goal a higher degree of athletic proficiency, and above all, the very acme of manliness for its mem- bers. Cooperation is also an important cog in the workings of the club. While this organization did not junction with the same degree oi formalities which characterized most clubs, nevertheless, they went about their work with a marked sincerity ol purpose. Their influence was felt in the various intra mural teams which were organized on the campus. They helped with the organization of these teams and acted as both personal directors and sponsors of the different individuals who com posed the teams. The boarder and day student intra-mural basketball leagues owe a great deal to the Monogram Club members. Throughout the course of the year, though there were no officers elected in the club, however there were several cadets who distinguished themselves with their fine exhibitions during the year. Topping the list are: Bill Corbett, Art Doherty, and Ed Ban non, who have been placed on the various honorary teams of the Catholic Conference. Bill Matson, Jerry Helperin, and John Farabaugh have also mad� an enviable name for themselves by their ability as athletes. The Monogram Club, by its fine work, has definitely established itself in the field of St. Thomas activities. [ 124] I Academy Lettermen Bannon. Edward Football. Basketball.

O’Connell Richard A. Turk Vincent Bitterly Li. K. V. Deans ML purpose of the Altar Society is two fold. First, it offers the Cadets an opportunity to participate in the religious exercises of the Church, and secondly it gives them a better understanding of the true meaning of the services and a chance to keep in close contact with the religious practices, started in grade-school, such as serving and acting as acolytes in the various ceremonies which take place during the school year. The Secretary of the Society calls a meeting of members every month. The first meeting of the year was held in September, and officers were elected and rules drawn up. During the following months the cadets were taught the manner of serving at mass, and at the meetings, defects in the serving of each individual was pointed out The secretary keeps an account of the minutes of each meeting, and the minutes of the previous meeting are read at successive gatherings. Attendance at the meetings is checked, and an accurate list of those present is kept. The President presides at the meetings. He appoints all committees at the recom- mendation of the moderator. A list of the servers for each week is placed on the bulletin board, where all may see. Each member serves at least once every week, either at Benediction or Mass. The Altar Society has each year increased in both size and ability. The praises which they have received, many times for their punctuality and perfection will shine as a guiding star lighting the path to the future societies.

Director John Farabaugh FIE St. Thomas Academy Chancel Choir has pushed to the front until it has become the leading musical organization on the campus. It functions under the able direction of Lt Robert F Felker who is assisted by John Farabaugh. The repertoire of the choir consists of processionals, reces- sionals, hymns, and masses. The “Parce Dominae,' and the “Ecce Sacer- dos are among the famous compositions which the group has mastered. On week days and ordinary Sundays the organization has been accustomed to singing the whole of the Mass, although primarily it is a Chancel Choir. However, on festive occasions it assumes it's proper role and sings the responses from the Chancel of the Academy Chapel. This is done in unison with the Choral Club of the College, which sings the mass proper. Its composition is of boarder cadets who willingly sacrifice their tree time in order to practice. Much of their success is due to the wonderful cooperation between the members and their director. The roll of the choir numbers about thirty. [ 127] A Glance Into Our Social Year HIS school year has witnessed a distinct step in the advancement of the social phase of our student life. Small, informal dances, arranged by students and given for only the cadets and their parents, were promoted frequently. It was hoped that such dances would aid in the social develop- ment of the individual student, as. no doubt, they did. Every cadet was urged to attend and a dancing class was organized for those who wished to learn. For each of these affairs a senior in the Academy acted as general chairman and was wholly responsible for its success. The chairman chose his committee of cadets who helped decorate the Armory and make all necessary arrangements. Popular Twin Cities orchestras always furnished the music. The cadets who have acted as chairmen are: William Kaiser. Arthur Doherty, Fred Van Bergen and William Monaghan. Aside from these functions the Cadet Officer's Club sponsored two colorful affairs, the Thanksgiving Informal given in the Academy Armory, and the Officer's Mid-Winter Formal Bali, held at the Lowry Hotel in St. Paul. Cadet Colonel Philip E. Seifert, the president of the Officer's Club, was in charge of the arrangements. The Annual Military Ball is under the direction of the P. T. A. and is the climax of every social season. It is a formal affair held on the eve of Commencement. Last year's Mifitary Ball was a huge success, but the one approaching promises to have a larger attendance and surpass even the best of former years. [ 128] The Military Ball social season of 1932 was brought to a fitting close by the annual military 11, held on the night of May 29. The armory was appropriately dec- tied in the traditional colors of St. Thomas, purple and grey. These corations were set off by palms and bright colored flowers. Military •apons placed on one side of the armory added a military touch to this social function. The orchestra played on a raised platform, surrounded with tropical settings. During the course of the evening s entertainment, the crack drill platoon under the able leadership of Lieutenant Colonel 1 hilip Seifert presented an accurate demon- stration of close order drill, which greatly added to the enjoyment of the guests. The Grand March led by Colonel William Hay and his guest, however, overshadowed all other functions of the evening, in color and dignity. The attendance of this dance was the best in many years, approximately tour- hundred couples attending. Under the direct sponsorship of the Parent Teacher's Association of St. Thomas, the dance progressed throughout the evening in a way which was pleasing to all. The many parents who attended were especially gratified by the order and quiet dignity, maintained by the cadets. Great credit is due to the’ P. T. A. for its efforts on behalf of the corps. This particular military ball which turned out so satisfactorily also marked the farewell of Captain Tychsen. whose work was greatly appreciated by the students and faculty.
