These are our aims at Saint Vincent. A constant striving to become mentally, morally, and physically better forms the essence of our individual advancement. Improvement in social rela- tionship unfolds as we work and play together, making friendship a part of co-operation. In the fulfillment of personal and social responsibility, we evi- dence our yearning for the perfection in this life portrayed by Our Lord and His Mother. Our entire education is constructed on this pattern in order that, as citizens in time and in eternity, we will fulfill true Christian principles. Life at Saint Vincent is laughter and gaiety. It is solemnity and religious devotion. It is enthusiasm for work, for fun, for progress. I olwiqno I' Y' Oni, we, the 1948 senior class, offer our congratulations in the form of our year's activities bound together in THE SHAMROCK, which is tinged this year with the purple distinguishing Monsignor in his ecclesiastical position so recently received. His studies progressed from St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland to John Carroll University, and then to the seminary in Rochester, New York. On the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, September 14, 1918, he received the Sacrament of Ordination, and on the Feast of the Seven Dolors he celebrated his First Mass. Life in the priesthood began with his appointment as assistant at Holy Name Parish, Cleveland. His experience as superin- tendent of Ursuline Catholic High School in Youngstown led to his present position as pastor and school superintendent of Saint Vincent, where he has reaped honors for himself and for us who share in his good fortune. Monsignor's familiar figure at the altar during S o'clock Mass, in the corridors, at cheer rallies, and at all our eventsg his helpful hints at report card time, his welcome voice over the P.A. system, reminding us of May devotions or First Friday Mass, or, best of all, surprising us with a free day-make him our friend as well as our understanding supervisor. we are grateful to Monsignor Conry for his tireless efforts in our behalf at Saint Vincent High School. ...ullil-vlan..

Our bodies, our minds, and our souls reflect the training we give them. Modern Catholic education is a potent instrument aiding us in this expansion, teaching good health as a definite responsibility, precision in technical skills as a source of satisfaction and service, and artistic appreciation as a cultural and aesthetic pursuit. A spirit of student co-operation with the advantages of supervision is evident at Saint Vincent. Frequent visits to church-browsing in the library-friendliness in the halls-daily noon-time walks, all these denote our desire for individual advancement and are important factors in our school life. We must fulfill our obligation to grow in virtue, to enrich our personal lives, and to conquer ourselves. 1 Make an effort to know thyself., St. Bernard EXPECTANCY KNOWS N0 BOUNDS AT REGISTRATION The long-awaited but much-dreaded registration day has arrived! Over one hundred fifty would-be freshmen from all the parishes of the city of Akron come to register and to take placement examinations. Will they be able to do well? The pleasant smile of Sister Bernice, principal, seems to reassure them. Paul Stuhldreher bravely hands his enrollment blank to Sister, hoping that she does not notice the ink smudge in the left-hand corner. That's where his pen sputrered. Letizia Brunamonti is still laboring conscientiously over hers. This calls for her very best penmanship speci- men. What lies ahead they do not know, but Paul and Letizia and their classmates face the future at Saint Vincent with eager anticipation. 12 Lawrence Marzulli and Fred Ost are enjoying a joke as they make their way light-heartedly to school. Tom Aldrich, judg- ing from the thoughtful ex- pression on his face as he steps to the curb, is wondering about that tenth problem in last night's algebra homework. The buzz of conversation, punctu- ated by laughter, echoes through the school yard as the students begin to arrive for another day. WE GREET OUR CLASSMATES AND OUR l0RD Saddles and brown Oxfords reg- ularly mix to enter these portals to early morning Mass during the month of the Holy Rosary and on many other occasions. Our classes traditionally begin with a prayer, but here the stu- dents plan to open a day with the Perfect Prayer. The church forms a vital portion of our everyday life, influencing us to live our faith. N-ma. a 1.

Determination and anticipation mingle, illustrating the serious- ness with which the students pursue their physical education. We wonder if Louise Vidussi was able to stop Claire Falatdeau's pass. Shouts of excited partici- pants and the thud of hard hit balls are common sounds emerging from the gym as girls play a fast- moving volley ball game. They may be contrasted during the next period by sounds of dance steps and music, as students learn to waltz, square dance, or even jittetbug. . . ON THE LIGHT FANTASTIC TOE ARCH OF TRIUMPH 19 INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHT. AFTERWARDS - THE LINIMENT! VARIED PRUGRAM STIMUIATES WHUIE-HEARTED PARTICIPATION Are you in need of a hefty he-mann to move your grand piano? Mere calisthen- ics are mild for these gentle- men: Bill Cahill, Bob Pfeil, Dick Gill, and Dick Whit- myer. Weight-lifting is their specialty. Dick Gill, sopho- more, aims to gain greater stature, while the juniors hope to maintain their physical stamina. 20 CIVIC PROJECTS AND SUPERVISED EXERCISE FOSTER HEALTH Feel the pull back here? asks Mr. Malagio, as Jack Lynett clenches his fists and shows how it's done. John Kovalcik, at jack's right, and George Dujanovic, behind jack, are not so enthusiastic. Starting the year with calisthenics to limber up, running to increase speed, and tumbling to gain skill, the boys' gym classes progress to the king of indoor sports - basketball. Exercise and competitive games are supplemented by physical check-ups, such as the one in which all juniors and seniors were examined when the TB X-ray unit on wheels visited us to take our pictures, The fellow who looks as though he's just coming up for air is joe Frank. Dick Goehler, john Haas, and Robert Humphrey stand in line awaiting their turn, hoping for the best. Qu fy v x 1 n 1 1 x-. 2 Y S 'Q :fab - Q' K o 4 S5 elm .if 3 S W I- , ..

DRAMA GUILD 1 l a i SCORES TRIUMPH In an unusual Christmas program, Annabella Marcant and joan Lauer pantomime in the solemn light of the mood. Frances Gillen, solo narrator, describes the visit of the angel to Mary, as the verse choir tells the story based on john W. Lynch's beautiful A Woman Wmpperl In Silence. The seriousness and simplicity of the performance, intensified by choral arrangements of the Glee Club, kept the student audience avidly attentive. Charles Jahant as Joachim, Vincent Tersigni, Frank Morse and Carl McKievicr as kings, Bill Thorpe as Saint joseph, and Tom Reymann as Simeon, the high priest, Bob Conway and Robert Denholm as shepherds, and Betty Reidy as Elizabeth, also assisted in the production dramatizing the events surrounding the Nativity of Our Lord. Those indispensable men behind the stage were Philip Fetzer, Paul Selle, Thomas Showalter, and Tom Neff, electricians. Projecting themselves into the 192O's, the cast of Our Hearts 117 ere Young and Gay presented the first big Drama Guild production in several years. Otis Skinner, the sarcastically witty father, and Maud, his nervous but eflicient wife, discuss their flighty daughter's escapades. Backstage, Leo Vielhaber and Jeanne Farr provided laughs with Leo's pipe and Jeanne's hat. They were the brunt of many jokes such as Otis favorite O-dis play is killing me! Long rehearsals were brightened by frequent laugh-provoking incidents. Pat Leonard will never forget that she slept blissfully through her cue, and Rose Leahy's pseudo-French accent became another source of hilarity. The jubilant cast captured the mood of the play immediately and conducted a snake dance around the set just before the curtain rose for the sparkling comedy. The glare of footlights, the smell of grease paint, burst of laughter from the audience, and the omnipresent butterflies mingled to impress lasting memories of the dramatic experience. A crowded Sunday evening performance successfully climaxed the weeks of preparation. 26 In their ship's Cabin on the St. V. stage, Cornelia Skin- ner CMary Ellen Dela- grangel and Emily Kimbrough CMary Ann Workmanb, share their as- tonishment as Vincent Tersigni, Margaret Di- Lauro, Rose Leahy, Steve Berry, Ed Mehok, Jeanne Farr, Tom Neff, Leo Viel- haber, Ed Fassnacht, and Louis Romestant stand by. Working on the set of Om' Hearty Were Young and Gay, the busy property crew pauses for the benefit of the camera. Supplied by the Home Ec. Department the staff includes Alice Moritz, Peggy Ruhmanse- der, Patricia Kirk, Mary Kay Gerraghty, Kathleen Seifert, Patricia Schultis, and Betty Reidy.

As evidenced by our war-torn world, such relationships are a problem, and the necessity for training in social living becomes more obvious. Greater stress must be placed upon the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. The hierarchy, inthe living voice of the teaching Church, repre- sents Christ on earth and guides us to the Eternal. Our association with our parents and our teachers - their instruction and example - increase our understanding of human dignity. The companionship of our fellow students in classroom and extra- curricular activities emphasizes the cooperation needed for successful achievement. Through these contacts, each student at Saint Vincent High School is educating himself in the diliicult but necessary course of human relations. l -Emerson ADMINISTRATION Bishop Edward E. Hoban was edu- cated at St. lgnatius College in Chicago, Illinois, and at St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, Maryland. He completed his studies at Greg- orian University in Rome and was ordained july ll, 1903. He received the fullness of the priesthood in 1921, and after appointments as Bishop of Rockford and Coadjutor Bishop of Cleveland, he became Bishop of Cleveland in November l945. Our earnest prayer is that His Excellency will continue to receive the blessings of God upon his work and that Divine Mercy will reward his efforts. Most Reverend Edward F. Hoban, S.T.D., LLD Bishop of Cleveland Doctor Elwell, as superintendent of Catholic schools in the Cleveland Diocese and Professor of Education at Sisters' College, excercises great influence. His constructively critical interest in our scholastic activities has increased our respect for him and for his important responsibility as our educational supervisor. We are grateful to him for his contributions to the furtherance of both our intellectual and spiritual life, and in a special way this year, for the theme of our yearbook, Toward the Eternal Commencement, inspired by the fourth book of his religion series.

Saint Vincent's competent athletic directors, Coach Edward Wentz, Mr. Fred Malagio, and Mrs. Robert Fritz have a two- fold purpose in their program of physical preparedness-first, the body, as a temple of the Holy Ghost, should receive proper care, second, effective physical training supplements and en- hances mental efficiency. MONSIGNOR CONRY PRESENTS CLASS RINGS T0 SENIORS IN TRADlTl0NAl CEREMONY PRECEDING COMMENCEMENT The traditional ring ceremony is an event eager- ly awaited from the day that the juniors order rings until the time when they are seniors and solemnly receive their emblem of loyalty to the school. The small gold band brings back mem- ories of school life -- Saturday afternoons at a crowded football stadium, laughter and cheers in a bulging gymnasium, the stirring rhythm of the Irish bandsmen, the majesty and splendor of the stately Christmas tree in the auditorium, the magic and loveliness of the Spring Prom, and the poignant thrill of commencement exercises. The glamour of being a senior has also its more serious side - thoughts and plans for the future. College catalogs are examined much more fre- quently than heretofore, and the query, What are you going to do after graduation? is com- monly heard. These thoughts will linger. The 1948 class ring is our symbol of lasting friend- ships formed and of unswetving faithfulness to the ideals and the spirit instilled in us throughout our years at Saint Vincent High School.

JUNIORS 306 Our biggest project of the year was sponsoring the annual book drive. Each of us gave up a study period so that we might sell books to increase the facilities in our school library. The responsibility of accounting for every book was no easy task, but we enjoyed it. Margaret McCormick, Dorothy Hill, and Joanne Maurer used salesmanship technique over the PA system. Christmas brought a pageant in honor of the Blessed Mother, in which many of us took part, some as members of the Glee Club and others as speakers in the Verse Choir. Decorating the classroom in the Christmas mode, a tradition for this season, resulted in fun, work, and a lovely environment for lessons. Because of our projects, the months have passed swiftly. We look forward to summer vacation and the day when we'll be seniors, but we will always remember the happiness of our junior year. 57 Firtt row, seated: Allen Hammer, John Gilhooly, John Dalrymple, William Lane, Thomas Rert, William Seib.

We particularly enjoy supporting baked goods sales sponsored by the Home Economics girls, despite cries of Bake sale today, boys! Who brought some bicarbonate of soda? Books were purchased by our class during the annual book fair which presents an opportunity, not only to demonstrate our appreciation for good literature, but also to manifest our school spirit.

Class oflicers were elected early in September to preside over our weekly class meetings. Strict parliamentary procedure is observed except, of course, when we are very excited and forget. As one of our projects for the year, we are finishing a handbook which we planned way back when we were sophomores last year. The book will be given to freshmen next September to introduce them to school customs, songs, and cheers. Hobbies were brought in and displayed, and talks were given on favorite pastimes, including music, art, reading, stamp-collecting, victrola records, knick-knacks, dolls, horseback riding, swimming, tennis, and skating. We enjoyed our junior year immensely, but of course we are looking forward to the time when we shall be honest-to-goodness seniors. 59 SOPHOMORES Home Room 102 Firrt row, Jeated: john Haag, John Whitmyer, Stephen Koval, Char- les Walzer, William Dettling, Donald Carlos, Arthur Hunter.

With their job as the backbone of the yearbook, patron fees and salesmanship become familiar mediums of fund- raising as the 1948 campaign is launched. Are the layout pages finished? Where is the dummy? The Shamrock staff room, where the yearbook assumes shape, buzzes with activity after the 3:15 bell has rung. Emma Lins and Frank Morse, art editors, discuss illus- tration plans together, as joseph Manion and Antoinette Pedone, typists, add to the busy atmos- phere of the room with steady click-clicks of the typewriter. Nancy Sporer and Dick Goehler, co-editors of the 19-48 Shamrock, study All American yearbooks to determine the essence of a high- rating annual. Their worst bugaboo is the bi-monthly deadline.

Ckridfian .gclea 6 With Mary as our guiding mother, and Christ as our Perfect ideal, we try to live our Catholic faith now, by applying its principles in our daily school life. We realize that it is through properly following the duties of our occupation as students, that we are fulfilling God's plan for us, and achieving our salvation. I am the way, the truth, and the life, is the inspiration of our temporal journey. Imitation of Christ includes many aspects, one of which is the practice of good citizenship in our application of His words, Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's . . Distinction is given as a reward to those who have contributed to the honor of the school. The sympathetic understanding of other nations and races is fostered through a knowledge of their culture, their languages, and their histories. Preparation for a useful life is accomplished in studies aiding the future vocations chosen. Finally, as an important factor in fine character, is the good sportsmanship necessary for all athletic participants. These virtues unite into one force, urging us to utilize our lives according to God's wish. We are not only readying ourselves to face tomorrow, we are living our lives to the fullest degree now as part of God's creation, and seeing in tomorrow the opportunity to become more perfect. -St. Pm!! Bob Amstadt emphasizes his view on a labor bill during a debate in Ameri- can history class. These debates and informal dis- cussions on current topics serve varied purposes for the students.

He instills in his pupils the right methods of counteracting bumps and falls that are met in life as well as in football. The 1947 squad was not a big team in comparison to some of the teams it played. The forward wall averaged 167 pounds and the backfield approximately 160 pounds. Individual honors were not lacking.

St. V. 0 - Massillon 21 A fighting Irish team threw a scare into mighty Massillon before they succumbed 21-0. The Saints, with Larry Coyle, Dick Pitts, and Gene Halamay sharing the offensive lead, had driven 60 yards to the Massillon 30, only to be thwarted by a pass interception by Dick Jacobs, Tiger halfback, who raced 73 yards for the only touchdown scored in the first half. The Tigers wasted no time in the second half when Al Brown took the kickoff and ambled 91 yards to the last chalk stripe. St. V. 8 -- Kent Roosevelt 13 Kent Roosevelt scored the first time they got possession of the ball as they surged through spacious holes in the Irish line. The Saints were back in the ball game in the second quarter when Dick Pitts skipped 45 yards to knot the score. Moments later Leo Longvil1e's punt was taken in the end zone by the Kent safety man who was promptly dumped by ends, Jack Wfahl and john Haas. HOLD THAT BALL St. V. 0 - East 6 Plagued by an acute case of fumble-itis, the Irish offense failed to materialize a touchdown, and bowed to an alert East High team 6-0. The only score of the game occurred early in the third period, when Bill Webb, Spunky East quarterback, sneaked over from the eight yard line to end a drive that carried from mid-field. The Irish came within two yards of a touch- down in the first quarter before a fumble by Tom Wolfe stopped the march. Long runs by Larry Coyle and the passing of sophomore john Cistone brightened the dimness of the defeat. St. V. 7 - Barberton 35 Unable to cope with the magic of the Barberton Magics' g-Men, Dick Goudy and Paul Gonder, the Irish sustained their third straight defeat- 35-7. A first half spree that netted the now- state champions a 28-0 lead offset the showing the Saints put on in the second half when they matched scoring honors with the champs. The Irish marker came late in the game when Dave McMullen, sophomore quarterback, hit end Dick Moss, with a pass and the Irish flanker scampered 50 yards to pay dirt for a tally. STEPPIN G HIGH ,K ,,,,,,,,, n ,,,- ,,,,,, L ,,,, L CAUGHT FOR A LOSS St. V. 20 - Falls 6 Dick Pitts was the spark that set off the ex- plosiveness of the Irish offense. He scored in the first and third periods 'on smashing runs that staggered the defense of the opposition. Turning in a brilliant performance, St. Vincent also scored in the second quarter when john Cistone tossed a short pass to senior, john Haas in the end zone. The downfield blocking of guards, Dick Goehler and Bill McGrath, was a great aspect in helping the Irish backs go for long gains. The Tigers scored when Chuck Cooley, diminutive Falls halfback, took a short pass and raced 65 yards for the tally. St. V. 42 -- South 20 s . A spirited St. Vincent team upset s the dope bucket when they handed the South Cavaliers a 42-20 troun- cing. Larry Coyle and Gene Halamay sparklecl for the Irish, each scoring two touchdowns. The other Irish scores were garnered by Jack Wahl on a nine yard end-around jaunt, and a beautiful 20 yard sprint by half- back Dick Pitts. Leo the Toe Cox also figured in the scoring doing the phenomenae by kicking all the extra points without a miscue. HIGHLIGHTS OF '47 st. V. 7 - Central 55 Devoid of all the characteristics of a good team, the Irish once again fell into the pit of defeat as they lost to a potent Central team 35-7. The Wildcats scored early and often with Dick Collier, Art Bennet, and Harry Fuller as their chief weapons. The Wildcat line weakened only once late in the game, when Longville went over from the two, after a 6 yard drive highlighted by the running of Longville and Ed Brown. Central had a 21-0 lead at halftime. St. V. 6 - Kenmore 7 The Irish lifted the lid off the gridiron season September 12th, at the Rubber Bowl when they met an underdog Kenmore eleven who handed the Wentzmen a 7-6 defeat. The game was played on even terms until the second quarter when Herbie Timms, ace Cardinal half- back, weaved past the Irish defense for a touch- down. The Saints bounced back with a 65 yard march that produced the first tally of the 1947 season. john Cistone's aerial to Larry Coyle was the climax of the march. ix,-.

With a galaxy of stars, the Cavaliers defeated the Saints 64-38. A doubtful season had begun for the Wentzmen. However, the Irish bounced back and tumbled Ravenna and Buchtel, the latter a real battle in spacious Goodyear gym, 40-38. Leo Longville, junior guard, sparkled in the victories. After bowing to Cuyahoga Falls, the Saints met Barberton and Mark Scart. Scarr, with his phenomenal shooting, caged 30 points which sunk the Irish to the tune of 35-44. Christmas came and so did a victory. The team breezed past East 44-49. Sophomores Dave McMullen and John Cis- tone led the attack. Canton Central Catholic, a newcomer to the Saint's schedule, visited Akron and swept over the Irish 46-58. The ding-dong battle stirred fervor in the students of both schools, promising future rivalry. Coach Wentz inaugurated his two-team system in the Akron Central game, and it functioned to near per- fection in a 50-32 win. Winding up the regular season, the Saints beat Kent Roosevelt and Barherton for a not-too-impressive record of seven wins and twelve losses. In the tourna- ment, the Saints subdued Orrville and lost to Stow. The squad had faced some of the best teams in the state, and the lessons learned will be an invaluable asset for success in 1948.

Diminutive Leo Longville, stellar junior guard, was outstanding through- out the season. Leo placed on All-City's second team and was among the leading scorers with over two hundred points to his credit. Larry Coyle, Dick Pitts, Dick Moss, and jack Dalrymple were the other junior point-makers. Skillful ball-handling was consistently demonstrated by Frank Stams and john Cistone, sophomore stars. John Darago, Art Hunter, and Dave McMullen displayed great prom- ise as push-shot artists, while Don McGaughey, freshman, showed his prowess around the pivot.

IRISH 'AQUATEERS' CAPTURE MUNICIPAL CHAMPIDNSHIPI Three years of sustained effort and grim deter- mination finally brought well-merited rewards for the Irish tankers as they were acclaimed city champions, sharing the crown with Buch- tel High School and Cuyahoga Falls. During these years, the boys played second fiddle to the larger schools against whom they com- peted, and received little honor or attention. However, with each year bringing improve- ment in speed and form through patient practice for perfection, Saint Vincent's swimming team attained the goal of all athletes' dreams - city championship! Under the direction of Coach Bob Plageman and led by ace point-makers Mike Tecca and Harold Robinson, the Irish mermen were formidable foes throughout the state. At the Bowling Green State University relay meet, the team placed sixth in the state. Seniors who took part in swimming meets this year are Ed Barr, Frank Morse, Harold Robinson, Lester Schultz, and Mike Tecca. Besides working as a team, individual swimmers gained a name for themselves swimming in city district, and state contests. Mike Tecca led the city breast- strokers with near record-breaking time. Harold Robinson annexed two second places in the 50-yard free style. 5 1 ,M X.,, X X 5 . , K, QL! X iv gy .- Q V .N 'x Ay : A' x a A - . -, Q 5 f '-Fir.. ' X: x X s Sf-A . - ' N K x K ..

Tom Neff, general manager of the business staff, was responsible for collecting the largest amount of money. Marion Herro, the lone junior, was second. Tom and Marion and their companions agreed that the dinner was worth their efforts. Seniors Dorothy Gazafy, Isabelle Ignatz, Clara Labbe, Helen Siebert, Frances Welsh, Mary Ann Wheatley, and Phyllis Wilhelm prepared the luscious meal which was held in the Home Economics Laboratory. The newly-purchased modernistic black and white table set with sparkling dinnerware fwas used for the Shamrock patty. The business staff, consisting of the patron fee committee and the subscription committee, must be highly commended for its persevering efforts in backing the yearbook, Their stirring-up activities were numer- ous and varied--presenting campaign skits, tracking down suspects, giving pep talks, writing letters to local business firms for patron fees, and checking returns. 107 BUSINESS FIRMS AID IN SUPPORT OF OUR ANNUAL Actual Business College, Inc.
