Three to iwrffnninwrh IN presenting this second annual edition of the Tiger , the class of '26 has no other purpose in view than to touch the chord of memory and bring back to us in later years, remembrances of our high school days. This book is not news. It is not published to gain praise or to please critics. It is a reminder of lessons learned, and a roll book of the names and faces we knew and came to love. Soon we, like others who have gone before us, will be known as Alumni and our deeds will be traditions. lf, then, in the years which are to come, this book will aid in recalling old faces and friendships, in bringing back fond remembrances and happy experiences of the days which sped while we were at dear St. X.,-days long grown dim with the passing of years,-our efforts will have not been in vain, and we will have accomplished our end.

That her task has been well done is attested by a thousand and some graduates now scattered in every walk of life. St. X. has grown consistently with Louisville. St. Xavier Institute of fifty years ago was only a small institution but its growth was rapid and in 1890 the authorities of the school were forced to seek larger quarters. Accordingly the school Was moved to its pres- ent location on Broadway where it increased in size and influence. The increased number of activities and the necessity of systematic physical training for the students led to the erection of a splendid gymnasium, one of the linest in the South. The number of students increased so rapidly that part of the auditorium had to be converted into class-rooms and later on an annex was added to the main building in an effort to accommodate all who applied for admission. Progress and growth, under the capable leadership of such men as Brothers Ben- jamin, Placidus. and Isidore, have been such that again St. X. must seek room for expan- sion. During the month of May negotiations were begun and completed for the purchase of a site at Second and Lee Streets, where the Masonic Widows and Orphans Home now stands. There will be suflicient ground to accommodate school, gymnasium and athletic field thus concentrating and centering all school activities. The institution will be trans- ferred to its new site sometime within the next year. Eleverz , . gi lqgglg 3111 HE St. Xavier gymnasium was built in 1915 during the principalship of Brother James. At that time it was one of the best gymnasiums in the South and for at least ten years it has been the center of basketball activities in Louisville. Until the erection of the Manual gym with its slightly greater seating capacity and larger floor space, nearly every game of importance was played in the St. X. basketball hall. Visiting college teams played there, independent teams decided their championships there, and Male, Manual and St. X. yearly fought out there the City Championship. Here it was that the National Catholic Champs learned the rudiments of the game at which they later became so capable. Regular physical training classes are held daily under competent instruction and every necessary article of equipment is at hand, The indoor track makes practice possible when the weather will not admit of outdoor practice. Besides being the center of athletic activities, the gym is also at times a social center. The class dances take place within its walls and frequently Alumni and Class banquets are held therein. With the advent of a basketball team such as the present Tigers the gym has been unable to accommodate the crowds and the center has shifted to the Manual gym. This situation will find its remedy in the new gymnasium to be erected on the campus of St. Xavier's new home.

The highest tribute We can pay to the memory of Brother Placidus is not the printed testimonial nor the marble shaft, but a life of devotion to those prin- ciples and ideals for which he so firmly stood. As an expression of appreciation we are paying in this small way, a tribute of respect to our former Principal and Friend. Mindful of his interest in us, we will strive, in recognition of that interest, to live as he would have us live, and to die as he died-a real man and a real Christian. at a. at Fifteen Cifwfrmfflymm Zyafwimbmuzzlc, Q51 ZF. Sixteen QROTHER ISIDORE has acted in the capacity of Principal of St. Xavier for one year only, having begun his administration shortly after the death of Brother Placidus in October of the year past. During this time, however, he has so performed his task as to endear himself to the student body in as great a degree as Brother Placidus had done. Before Brother Isidore became Principal, St. Xavier students had known him as Provincial of the Xaverian Brothers in the United States, so that, when he assumed his position as head of a school, they were all jubilant over their good fortune in receiving so worthy a successor to Brother Placidus. The members of the Class of '26 take this opportu- nity to offer a sincere expression of their gratitude,-a gratitude as great as this acknowledgment of it is small,- to the man who has been to us in our Hnal year as St. Xavier students, so able an adviser and leader, and so kind a friend,-Brother Isidore.

Good Fellowship Club, 1926. F orty-seven flllailnfaas 'ilglilifinllnmy IN the early part of September, 1922, there assembled in the halls of St. X. that group of youths, who now, after four years, are leaving her portals as the Class of '26, We well remember the circumstances which accompanied the beginning of our high school career. We recall with some amusement the feeling of confidence and self-satisfaction which was ours, and which, after the first few months, degenerated into one of inse- curity and a sense of our unimportance in the general scheme of things. We began to realize, though, that despite our unimportance we nevertheless had grave responsibilities, and we settled down to make our first year a success. When in the month of June in '23, we dispersed for the summer, we knew that as a class, We had fulfilled our responsibilities and had given a good account of ourselves. We became Sophomores with the beginning of the administration of Brother Placidus as principal. He replaced Brother Benjamin who went to Baltimore as Treasurer-General of the province. Under the same efli- cient leadership that we had had as Freshmen we were assured of another successful year. Brother Placidus divided our class of some 120 members into four sections. The class had become considerably smaller but there remained only those who had shown themselves able and well-meaning students. Swiftly and pleasantly another proitable year passed by and before we realized it we were Juniors. As Juniors the Class of '26 enjoyed a banner year. At the beginning of the term W. Prank Ryan was elected President, Houston P. Zettel, Vice- Forty-eight President, and William Conliffe, Secretary-Treasurer. The class which had dwindled down to about 90 members not only loaned support to every school activity but provided leaders for all of them. In athletics, dramatics and social activities its members played a conspicuous part. We also showed an aptitude for class work when in the final exams we dem- onstrated an efliciency of scholarship that guaranteed a most successful year as Seniors. In September, 1925, began our nnal year. Shortly after the opening of the term the class was formally organized when James P. Sullivan was elected President, Williaiia N. Sherman, Vice-President, and T. McKinney Board, Secretary-Treasurer. Our oflicers were Well chosen both as to scholarly attainments and to ability to lead. Two weeks after the begin- ning of the term, a singular grief came upon the class and the entire school as Well when our principal, Brother Placidus. died. ln his death We lost a good friend, and a capable leader. Our gratitude to him for his kindness and his many services to us, was great, and our sorrow for his loss even greater. However, the remembrance of him and of his splendid character and life will remain with us as a splendid example in our own lives. Brother Isidore, succeeded Brother Placidus as principal and, by his ability and kind direction, soon endeared himself to us and to the entire school. In the month ol November, a Debating Society was formed. St. X. had no representative team, but weekly intra-mural debates were held. The topics were ably discussed and much talent was unearthed. Among Forty-nine those who showed ability in this department was Thomas Fitzgerald who later won the award given by the Courier-Journal and Louisville Times, for the best oration on the Constitution. Tommy's subject was Marshall and the Constitution . The Class of '26 published the second annual St. Xavier year-book, the Tiger . Our task was not so large as the task of its founders, the Class of '25, They established the precedent and they shall share in the success of each succeeding edition. Our task has been to keep up the high standards set by the pioneer class and we trust that we have succeeded. The Class of '26 is most intimately associated with the greatest events in the history of St. X. The National Catholic Championship was won by a team composed almost entirely of members of that class. The same qualities of good sportsmanship and undying effort, which carried them through five championships to the National title, have characterized their work during their four years at St. X.. and to their fellow students their success was not in the least surprising. The events enumerated in the foregoing lines are not by far the only ones of our high school career but their influence on that pleasant period is most pronounced. The recollection of these pleasant happenings and occa- sions is joyful but the joy is coupled with the regret they have been and are not to be. The memories of these years are dear beyond the power of tongue or pen to describe but we hope that these memories will in our after life be to us a source of delight, making us relive those happy hours of our youth,-and a source of inspiration, giving us fresh vigor to fight well and bravely the great battle of life.

The new organization soon became popular with the student body and the stimulus given to musical activities by this club brought out an enormous number of candidates in September, 1925. Between 70 and 80 aspirants for membership began the season and with the exception of a few, are still regular participants in the weekly practices. With the experience of last year to aid them, the singers left after graduation were proficient enough to allow the directors to give all or most of their time to getting the new members, freshmen, most of tliem, into line. The first public appearance of the Glee Club was at the annual Christmas entertainment. The offerings of the songsters were warmly applauded and it was evident that the possibilities of the organization were great. The next performance was at the Cathedral on Christmas morning, when they sang at the second Mass of the Right Reverend Bishop. From that time till the close of the school year the club was busy Hlling engage- ments. As the entire Glee Club was too unwieldy to carry on these trips. smaller groups were formed and concerts given by single, double and triple quartettes. Sometimes a section consisting of about twenty members was used. The club was fortunate in the possession of two excellent and pop- ular soloists, both tenors, John Whallen Kelly and Harold S. Logan. Numbers by these young artists always pleased. John Quirk and Joseph Evans, basses, and Houston Zettel, tenor, also took solo parts in many of the full glee club numbers. Miss Virginia Vetter kindly performed as accompanist on several occasions. The Glee Club sang five times over W H A S, giving the final radio concert on Derby night. Concerts were also given at the Elks Club, the Marine Hospital, K. of C. Hall, New Albany Spring Festival, Trinity Initiation Banquet, U. of K. Alumni Banquet, four St. X. Alumni Ban- quets, including the Tiger National Championship Celebration, the Italian Festival, St. James Men's Social Club, Presentation Alumnae Social, and on several other occasions. The popularity of the Glee Club and the interest taken in this field of activity by the members indicate that the club is a permanent Hxture in St. X. affairs. Graduation will take its toll of the singers but their places will be readily Hlled and the outlook for an even better year in 1926-7 is very bright. Members of the single quartette were: Joseph Evans, second bass: Charles Treston, first bass: Harold Logan or John Wlaallen Kelly, second tenor: Frank Ryan, first tenor. Members of the double quartette were: John Quirk and Joseph Evans, second basses: Charles Treston and Robert Berndsen, first basses: John Wlaallen Kelly and Hugh Clines, second ten- ors: Freddie .Moore and Thomas Sherman, or Prank Ryan and John Whallen Kelly, first tenors, with Houston Zettel substituting for the latter as second tenor.

Its professed purpose is to promote better fellowship and more social activities among the graduates. The Senior Ofiicers are directors of the club which comprises the entire Senior Class. The activities of the club were vested in several dances given at inter- vals during the year. Each dance, taken care of by different temporary committees, proved to be very successful. The Good Fellowship Club has played an important role in boost- ing all school activities. From the motive of school-spirit, which the club has helped to inculcate in the student body, has resulted St. Xavier's un- precedented success, both in athletics and scholarship. The Good Fellowship Club is a worthy organization and is capable of doing great things for St. Xavier. The Class of '26 hopes that the club will strengthen and grow, and that by the motto Through Good Fellow- ship for St. X., our successors will be spurred on to greater deeds. Seventy azao-Ezzzaaag GOOD FELLOWSHIP CLUB Ellie fUE9ir1rligc15i'i:mrt NDER the guidance of Brother Timothy, the St. Xavier Humming Bird Orchestra has become an organization of extraordinary ability, and has brought no little honor and glory to St. X. The success of this activity is due to the hearty and faithful cooperation of the members, with their director. One of the attractive features of every school program has been the music furnished by the Humming Birds. Surprises are in order Whenever they tune up, and the manner in which they play and sing would make the Royal Peacocks, or Paul Whiteman's men fear for their jobs. The orchestra has provided entertainment at student assemblies, the regular boxing exhibitions, and has played several times over the radio. The time and eH'ort spent by Brother Timothy in the development of the players have been richly rewarded and appreciated.

From the outset, St. Xavier students have been active in the endeavors of the society. Every student in the school is automatically a member. The St. X. Unit is the largest unit of boys in Kentucky. Its officers are: Brother Leonard Francis, Moderator: Houston F. Zettel, President: Thomas Sherman, Secretary and Treasurer. Two state officers also, are numbered among the St. X. Unit: Gilbert J. Kirwan is Vice-President, and John Whallen Kelly, is Treasurer. The means employed to attain the end of the Mission Crusade, namely, assistance in promoting Mission endeavors in fields throughout the world, are-voluntary financial contributions and oiferings of prayers and good works. Se'L'e11ty-three GN the field, on the floor, and on the cinder-path, St. Xavier athletes, members of the X Club, have caused to resound the praises of their Alma Mater. Their sports- manship in every form of competition, whether in the joy of victory or in the gloom of defeat, has made all, includ- ing their opponents. bear testimony to thehhard, clean fighting of those who have proven themselves Worthy of the cherished X. No matter what the odds against them X men have always so borne themselves in combat as to bring honor on themselves and on their school. They have been tried and found true. St. Xavier has for each of these, a Well merited niche in her hall of fame , especially for those who have gained so many laurels this year on the basketball floor, Winning the City, Falls Cities', Sectional, State, and National Cath- olic Championships. It is her hope, and conviction, too, that future Wear- ers of the Green and Gold will be of the same brand of mental, moral and physical excellence as that which char- acterizes present St. Xavier athletes. Sevelzty-fou-r my-161113.29 5' CLUB Eline Eliussintg, lflglrzms ST. XAVIER activities have widened to embrace new fields during the past year, and since the addition of Brother Benedict to the faculty, St. X. has been shining in another line of sport,-boxing. Before entering the Xaverian Brotherhood Brother Benedict was a successful and coming boxer, with a decision over the great Benny Leon- ard to his credit. Soon after taking his position as physical instructor at St. X. Brother Benedict organized a boxing class recruited from the student body. The class became very popular and in a short time more than forty members were participating. Exhibitions have been given in the gym- nasium and in the school auditorium, and a representative team has been picked to meet other schools and organizations, Teams from Jefferson- town, Jelfersonville High, C. C. C. of New Albany, Mackin Council, and the Elks Club have been successfully encountered. As most of the aspiring pugilists are in the lower classes of the school, a bright future seems assured for St. X. in this field. So much interest has been aroused outside the school that a small case full of trophies is now Waiting for the youngsters victorious in their respective divisions. Sylvester O'Bryan amassed the most points during the season and to him goes the beautiful Sutcliffe Trophy. The Joe Greenstein Cup has been won by Vasilios Trakas. Johnny Beisler's abil- ity won for him the Southern A. C. Cup, and the Merten Realty Com- pany's Cup goes to Johnny Westmeyer. The O. F. Metcalf Class Trophy has not yet been awarded but will no doubt go to either Freshman B or Freshman E. The struggle between these two classes for first place is so close that as yet the trophy winner is undetermined. Se71e1zty-3-ix Athletics ri?

COACH RUBY ,- ,Qfaiiuft lan ll TEHE Tigers' best foot-ball team will always be associated with the name of Joe Harmon. Previously to his advent as coach, foot-ball at St. X. had always been unsuccessful, The teams were of only mediocre ability and a competent coach seemed to be the pressing need. Mr. Har- mon was highly recommended to Brother Sylvanus, athletic director, who finally succeeded in procuring his services for the season of '25. The career of the new coach at Notre Dame mutely testified to his efficiency. At South Bend he played on the foot-ball elevens of '23 and '24, occupying the center position. The most favorable comments have been made on his playing. He was a team-mate of the invincible Four Horsemen and had as his tutor the famous Knute Rockne. The unprecedented success of the Tigers under Harmon's coaching urged Brother Sylvanus to offer him a two. year extension of contract. Mr. Harmon readily accepted. Now, everyone is looking forward with wistful eyes to the beginning of the season of '26. The outlook is brighter for St. X. than ever before. MR. EARL RUBY, sports writer for the Courier-Journal and Louis- ville Times, deserves our gratitude for his eflorts to promote ath- letics, particularly football, at St. X. during the past year. Besides giving the team much publicity, he sacrificed his valuable time gratuitously, to coach the Tiger backfielcl in the lirst weeks of practice. His work in all branches of athletics was likewise impressive. He accompanied the basket- ball quint to Chicago and kept the people of Louisville well informed of the achievements of their team during the tournament which resulted in the bringing of a National Championship home to Louisville. St. X. extends to you, Earl, her most cordial thanks. .S'e'zJenty-eight Doyle Sper1cer.G cCaipra.1n 2.5, IE IE initial football contest on the schedule of '25 was played with Male High School. This game Was, undoubtedly, the most stren- uous of the season. Unfortunately, the Tigers were confined to only two weeks of practice previous to the encounter. To transform, in this brief period of time, a squad made up mostly of inexperienced players into an eflicient, smoothly functioning eleven, was an achievement even beyond the capability of Coach Harmon. It can truthfully be said, that the team which opposed Male High was far inferior to the one that represented St. X. in her later contests. Throughout the game, which was played on an extremely hot day, the Bulldogs of Male High substituted two differ- ent teams, which outweighed the Green and Gold boys considerably. The i Ei J Ryan Q-B' Connolly H-B l ' Sevfeizty-rzivze ll if Q , sl i OqBrie1l Enrl W MAl0IlC Tigers , on the other hand, had only nine substitutes to relieve their regulars. Consequently, the Purples, profiting by the fumbles and blocked punts of St. X., piled up five touchdowns while the Tigers failed to score a marker. The exact result was: Male, 34: St. X., O. The splendid work of Sullivan, O'I-learn, Spencer, Ober, Ryan and Schaeffer shone bril- liantly through the gloom of defeat. In the second encounter of the season, the Tigers , displaying a classy brand of football, romped over Elizabethtown High by a 20 to 0 score. In every department of the game, St. X. showed her superiority. Datillo and Ober, halves, and Schaeffer, fullback, were the sensations of the contest, while the defensive Work of the forward wall was impressive. ll U CaVauAug,1,C,-q. I: .Bl0ClTICl .

Con- sistently breaking through a steadily weakening line, advancing by long strides around the ends, heaving passes for twenty and thirty yards,- were features of this victory. Everyone who participated in this contest performed with exceptional ability. Jimmy Malone, half-back, showed by his spectacular playing that he was as good as the best of them. Charlie Brown, substitute half-back, also starred by scoring four touchdowns. Hendricks, Henchey and Forsee played well. Feeling, perhaps, a trifle self-suflicient on account of their recent vic- tories, the Green and Gold standard bearers entered the fracas with Glasgow, on the latter's field, in a Iistless manner and, consequently, emerged the Phillips.-T.

The splendid defensive playing of George Bruder, tackle, was outstanding for the Tigers , He was really the only St. X. player to show form. Nevertheless, Butch Ober and Tony Datillo made several beautiful end runs. This defeat seemed to be a blessing in disguise, since the Tigers journeyed to Bowling Green the next week, and with determination plainly discernible in their every action, triumphed over the high school of that place. The score was 21-O. St. X, made all three of her touchdowns on punts blocked by Jimmy Sullivan, plucky center. Twice Jimmy, him- self, recovered the ball and carried it over the goal line. On the third occa- sion Frank O'Bryan scored the marker. Frank Ryan, astute quarterback, played the best game of his career. He caught and returned punts fault- v l A I 1 Bimztr. Obs,-.H.B l L i .

Inspired by this victory, the Green and Gold men had little trouble scalping the Saints of St. Joseph College, Bardstown, in the following melee. The score was 38 to 0. Invincible on the offense, invulnerable on the defense, the Tigers showed that they had a very strong team. Malone, Russell, Datillo, Bloemer, Phillips, and O'Hearn played best. The game with New Albany was anticipated with the keenest rivalry. St. X. had a defeat of the past year to avenge and the Bulldogs were eager to repeat their victory. The contest was played on a miry field, through a constant downpour of rain, which, together with the clouds which over- hung the field all the afternoon, rendered playing very difficult. For three . .,-.--. ...- - . H ,. , . Brown. H.B. , Bm-uclar-T. Eighty-th1'ee If a quarters the Tigers trailed in the scoring. In the Hnal stretch, owing to the brilliant end runs of Kenny Schaeffer, which resulted in both of his team's touchdowns, St. X. rallied and nosed out her opponents. The score was: St. X., 125 New Albany, 9. By his wonderful performance in this game, Schaeffer's name will shine in the football annals of St. X. with a luster that will not dim with the passage of time. Aside from the work of Schaeffer, the passing of Datillo, and the defensive work of O'Hearn, Spencer, Finnegan, Sullivan and Doyle featured the contest. The semi-final game was played with Cathedral High of Indianapolis. This encounter was somewhat of a family affair. Coach Harmon's brother, Dave, was captain and center of the visiting team. Besides, Indianapolis is Joe's home town and his father and many friends had come along with the team to judge his ability as a coach. The performance of Coach Harmon's proteges in this game was all that could be desired. The score was: St. X., 36: Cathedral O. All five of the Tigers' touchdowns were made by aerial attack. With unerring accuracy Tony Datillo heaved five passes to Prank O'Bryan, who snagged them with the same accuracy and carried them across the goal-line. Ober, Ryan, Malone, Phil- lips, Bruder and Bloemer, played as only they are able to play. The Tigers then concluded their season by defeating Reitz Mem- orial of Evansville, 33-O. St. X. completely outplayed her opponents. Every Tiger performed creditably. Thus St. X. ended her most successful football campaign, since the beginning of that sport at the institution. With seven victories and two defeats, 167 points to her opponents 50, the Tigers have left a blaze of glory behind them lit to be a beacon light for future gridiron elevens of St. X. Eighty-four Clliirfultlimm glmnatats INCE Brother Sylvanus was ap- pointed athletic director at St. X. two years ago, athletics at the school have advanced by leaps and bounds. He put St. X. on the map with one of the best coaches in this section, Coach Joe Harmon, formerly star center on the Notre Dame National Champion- ship football squad. His securing Joe not only for this past year, but for two succeeding seasons, is a shining 'feature of his administration. Last year Broth- er Sylvanus conceived the idea of enter- ing the Tigers in the National Catholic i Championship meet at Chicago and with the aid of the Alumni, friends, and of the local newspapers put the affair across. Again this year he repeated and with what success, everybody knows. Track activities have shown the effect of his pep and St. X. has made a creditable showing every time the track team has competed. Brother Sylvanus is now engaged in fostering a giant parochial school track meet, in order to prepare future track material for St. X. and espe- cially to interest the smaller boys of the town in clean, wholesome sport. As long as Brother Sylvanus is connected with athletics at St. X., one can be sure that the institution will have teams to be proud of. His past success is a good criterion of his ability and of the future of athletics at St. X.

CONSTANT iflirtssfllwlkbrnll HE success of basketball at St. X during the past year is so inseparably linked with the name of Brother Constant that one cannot praise the one without giving vent to a similar eulogy on the other, This year Brother Constant realized the ambi- tion to which every coach aspires, namely, that of a Championship team. For four years Brother Constant Worked diligently with a squad of players. whom he had as a Fresh- man team when he Hrst arrived at St. X. Players and coach soon became ardently attached to one another and, from the outset, had a common desire to attain that enticing beacon which gleamed towards them from the lofty summit of Success. Up the rugged road of Perseverance and Determination, the Tigers, inspired and guided by their Coach, plodded their laborious way. For three years they were conspicuous in the ball and hoop circle of Louisville. Finally, this year, they crowned their achievements and left them indelibly imprinted on the memories of basketball fanatics, not only of Louisville, but of the State and Nation as well, by bringing to St. X the City. Falls Cities, Sectional, State, and National Championships. ln thus achieving the goal of their ambition the Tigers express their appreciation of their silent mentor and their dependence on his persevering eiforts to ground them in the fine points of the game. The Tigers themselves, with their Eve Championships, and a case full of trophies, are the best testimony to the ability of Brother Constant.

At the termination of this contest the winning Tigers were presented with a silver sportsmanship cup, given by G. E. Geiger and Son. STATE TOURNAMENT The Tigers were like the supposititious perpetual motion machine which once started could not be stopped. Their schedule at Lexington was most strenuous. The teams met were Bowling Green, Pikeville, Lex- ington Qwith twenty-five straight victories to their creditj, and Danville. Pikeville and Lexington were considered, according to the consensus of opinion among the sport writers, to be the two contenders for the title, St. X. met both of these on the same day, with a respite of only live hours between games. Putting their trust in God and confident of their ability, the Praying Saints vanquished both opponents. ln the finals, the Saints defeated Danville with little difficulty.

The first contest was won from St. Ignatius of Chicago in the last few minutes of play. St. Francis from South Dakota, a team composed of Indians, an all-American team, was eliminated after a rather hard struggle. Captain Malone, star guard, who had been ill and unable to play in these games. now returned to the lineup. His presence greatly raised the morale of the Tigers. Bourbonnais, Illinois, was encountered in the third round. After a very closely contested battle, St. X. Hnally emerged victorious. In the semi-finals, Decatur, Indiana, fell before the onslaught of the Saints. In order to realize this victory, however, the Tigers were forced to the limit and only a brilliant rally in the third quarter turned the trick. Aquinas High of Rochester, New York, was met in the finals. Two successive baskets, scored in the last two minutes of play, by Jack Smith, forward, won the game, and the National Catholic Championship, for the Green and Gold. When the game ended, six thousand fanatics raised their voices in a deafening cheer. The Tigers had won! It seemed like a dream. It was a dream,-a dream of a lifetime, come true.

Ninety-se've11 Qiazmlas HILE the representative team Was gaining laurels for its school in basketball circles, the underclassmen were likewise actively engaged. A team composed exclusively of Sophomores and Juniors. was called the 'ACubs . This team played impressively throughout the past season and basketball material for the ensuing two years look abundant and promising. The record established by the Cubs was most enviable. They played forty-eight games in all and in forty-four of these they were victorious. Four defeats were suffered, but only by a very scanty margin. The roster of this team was as follows: Evans and Steiger, forwards: Henchy, center: Vetter and Malone, guards: McDevitt, Schuhman, Emrich, McMahon. and Angetmeier, substitutes. Al Steiger was high point man for the season, with Johnny Evans and Matt Henchy close on his heels. Vetter and Malone loomed up as promising future guards for the Tiger varsity. The Cubs participated in two tournaments, the Catholic Junior, and the Falls Cities. ln the former they were defeated by St. Anthony, in the third round 21 to 20. This game also decided the championship of the Catholic Junior League, since the contesting teams were tied for first place. ln the latter tournament the Cubs advanced to the semi- Iinals, defeating the St. X Reserves 19 to 14 for this privilege. Spencerian eliminated the Cubs, 21 to 16 to enter the finals. , The season, in spite of losses and disappointments. in tournament play was most successful, and the Cubs are to be commended on handing up so creditable a record for future junior teams to aim at, Brother Patricius was coach of this splendid team, and the success of his proteges is sufficient proof of his ability in this department. N iuety-ei ght iiittems HE Kittens form the Freshman team and contribute likely players to the Cub team. 'I hese in turn and in their later years at St. X, il' they show sufficient ability become Tigers and thus as varsity men gain the distinctive During the past season the Kittens by their remarkable playing brought great credit to their school. They won twenty games and lost only six. Their defeats, in every case, were incurred when they met opponents older and more experienced than themselves. In their own class they were absolutely unbeatable. At the termination of the regular season, they participated in the Falls Citfes Tournament. The Lionel Cubs. a much older and much larger team, eliminated 'the Kittens in the Hrst round after a spirited battle. The Kittens' lineup was as follows: Stammerman and Schuhman, forwards: Stone, center: Bloemer and Hanly, guards: Morfarty. Block, Forsee, Hilgert, Perry, reserves. Occy Stammerman was leading scorer for the team. Brother Clement instructed this outfit in the fundamentals of the game and deserves great credit for the remarkable showing of the Kittens and their success thru the season. N iizety-nivze 'NG-ff.-.

Last year two members of the track aggregation were brought into the limelight. These were Frank O'Bryan, a boy of all state caliber, and Ed Cavanaugh, a miler of excep- tional ability. Cavanaugh was elected to the Captaincy this year to suc- ceed O'Bryan, retiring leader. The full squad is composed of Captain Cavanaugh, O'Bryan, Allgeier, Watkins, Rhinehart, Freville, Dawson, O'l-learn, Phillips, Goodin, Sullivan, Stone, Leahy, Hart and Keyer. Jimmy Kilkenny is student manager. Brother Sylvanus is again in charge of the team and, under his tutelage, they have shown up very Well. One Huzzdrcd flgetattifs ST. X. had a very successful tennis team last year. 4 The Tiger net wiz- ards participated in four matches and in three of these were crowned with the laurel of victory. The lone defeat was at the hands of Male High, but in the return engagement, the Tigers avenged this loss. Twice the University of Kentucky Freshmen succumbed to the St. X. court rep- resentatives. St. Xavier was represented by the following: Bill Glines. George Imorde, Clarence Brumleve, Bill Watson. John Forsee and Ed Langan. The schedule, with Hnal scores, was as follows: May 16-St. X ..aa, .... 4 U. of'K. Fresh.-,r.--,--.-,3 May Zl--St. X.-. . ..-4 U. of K. Fresh... June 2-St. X..-- ......., .O Male June 5--St. X. ..... M3 Male ,,,.,..,. .- .... ,. ..... Although St. X. took both contests from the U. of K. Fresh., the first one was a real battle and the Green and Gold men were forced to the limit to eke out a scanty margin in their favor. In the second, however, the going was easy and the Fresh did not get even one match. The first meeting with Male resulted in a complete defeat for the Tigers. In the single matches, Simons of Male defeated Bill Clines 6-4 and 6-3: Newman overcame Imorde after a strenuous struggle 3-6, 6-4, 6-Og Jacobson took Brumleve into camp 6-4, 9-7. In the only doubles match of the clay Simons and Houston defeated Clines and Watson of Sr. X. In the second meeting between the tow teams, St. X. turned the tables. The Tigers, strengthened by the addition of Forsee and Langan to their roster, won one and lost two of the singles sets, but took both of the doubles engagements. In the singles Newman defeated Forsee, Simons beat Clinesg Imorde of St. X. overcame Jacobson. In the doubles, Langan and Clines took their match from Simons and Jacobson: Watson and For- see subdued Newman and his partner. This encounter terminated the Tennis season of 1925. The 1926 season was ushered in with the usual intro-mural tournament, held at Shelby Park. In this tournament thirty-two entrants fought many sparkling battles till only Schuhman of the third year and Joe Evans of the fourth were left to battle in the finals. The match between these two was Well worth watching and George Schuhman succeeded in annexing the School Championship only after a bitter struggle. I-Ie defeated Evans in three straight sets-6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Witla the above mentioned players, and in addition, Johnny Forsee, Spencer, Zettel and Johnny Evans, who was eliminated in the semi-Hnals by the new Champion-St. X. has an array of talented material for a court team. Several matches have been scheduled and the prospect is most favorable for a successful season. One fflllldlfd T-zt'0 The Tigers have participated in four meets so far: the Armory Meet: Manual-St. X. Meet: Falls Cities High School Meet: the State Meet at Georgetown. At the first of these, the Armory Meet, held March l2th and 13th, Frank O'Bryan, ex-Captain, was high point man with ten markers to his credit. He won the pole vault at 10 feet 4 inches and the high jump at 5 feet 4 inches. Ed Cavanaugh defeated his Held of oppon- ents in the mile run, running a beautiful race. Maxwell Field was the scene of the Manual-St. X. engagement. This contest was won by Manual 55 to 23. In the long distance runs, the mile and the half mile, Cavanaugh again emerged the victor. His time was: mile, 4 minutes 59 secondsg half mile, 2 minutes 12 seconds. O'Bryan carried off the pole vaulting laurels by jumping 10 feet. He also tied for the high jump with 5 feet 8 inches. St. X. came out third in the Falls Cities Meet, won by Male High. O'Bryan again distinguished himself by winning the pole vault at ll feet, thus establishing a state record for that event. Frank also came second in the high jump. Cavanaugh broke an existing record and set a new one by winning the mile in 4 minutes and 59 seconds. In the half mile Cavvy ran second. The relay team, composed of O'Bryan, Rhinehart, Allgeier and Cavanaugh, came second in the half mile event. At the State Meet in Georgetown, May 7th and 8th, O'Bryan Won second place in three events-the pole vault, high hurdles, and high jump. ln the latter event he still holds the state record at 5 feet 8M inches. Cav- anaugh, although he equaled the former record in the mile, was defeated. In this and in the half mile, he ran second. Gold, silver and bronze med- als were presented to the various winners, runners-up and placers at the end of the Meet. - Captain Cavanaugh also distinguished himself by running second in the annual mile race, held under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., January lst, 1926. This concludes Tiger track activities so far this year. Several meets Escheduled to take place before the closing of school and St. X. expects to give a good account of herself in all of them. One P17-HZff1'L'll1 One Jag, na D 1'-,N -, One Hundred Three lin as-elmll CEHE Tigers' baseball average for last year was .6l5, eight games won of the thirteen played. Several tough ones were lost. Male High defeated the Cireen and Gold 2 to 1. The winning run was scored on a wild pitch by Jimmy Austin, who, despite this error, pitched a wonderful game. Jeffersonville, also, nosed the Tigers out by one run. Manual overcame a nine run lead to beat St. X. 12 to 9. Shaughnessy and Malone were the leading batters during the season. The roster of the team was as follows: Phelan, Besten, catch: Aus- tin, Murray, Rueff and Brown, pitch: Captain Shaughnessy, lirst base: Fitzgerald, second: Ryan, third, Smith, shortg Datillo, left fieldg Malone, center field: Schaeffer, right Doyle, Callahan, Clines and Parsons, were sub- stitutes.

Witla two excep- tions, Shaughnessy and Phelan, who were graduated, the team is intact from last year. Captain Ryan has moved from third base to catch, to occupy the vacancy left by Phelan, while Smith has moved from short stop to third, his place being taken by Finnegan. With Butch Ober, undoubtedly the best hibh school pitcher in Kentucky to do the twirling. the Tigers loom as strong contenders for the State Title. Ont' Hulzdrcd Four' S? A N E' X.. E- ,S , il. E1 Q. I u 1 - . x.- a . Q HUGH -QCLINES KF-IE year l925 marked the entrance of St. Xavier talent into a new field of sport, namely, golf. The sport was introduced by Brother Sylvanus who is an ardent admirer of the pastime. As it was the irst attempt at this sport followers of the team did not predict great things, but were surprised and delighted when the St. X. men went through the season so creditably. The men composing the St. X. squad Were: Johnny Baron, Louis Besten, Spike Clines, Bill Clines. Their first match was with Male High and success was achieved when Johnny Baron defeated Bill Kaiser of Male, Bill Clines defeated Bill Chandler of Male, and Spike Clines took the measure of Steve McGill, the Male High Champ. The return match with Male was rather disastrous and Male I-ligh evened the count by capturing the entire quota of contests. The matches were close and hotly fought. Out' Hzuzdrvcl Six WILLIAM KELLY ,gflnitunier gkllaaiimnii GI-IE Alumni gala event of last June was responsible for much activity this current scholastic year. The banquet tendered to the graduates of 1925, was by far the most enthusiastic and successful affair of this nature ever sponsored by the Tiger grads. The old boys turned out in real fraternal style to greet the youngsters as members of the Association. One of the marked features of the ,occasion was the presence of a Golden Jubilarian grad. If all the Gold and Silver Jubilarians, along with those in between, continue to show such interest, St. X. Alumni is bound to become a power which will be a credit to their Alma Mater. With the success of the football team fresh before them, some of the dyed in the wool proposed a banquet for the grid artists. December, however, brought a change in the administration of the Alumni, when Mr. Al Ohligschlager of the class of '10, retired as president. Mr. Will Kelly, also of the class of '10, succeeded to the chair. He immediately started to push the proposition of the preceding oflicers-a banquet to honor the football team. Through the lively interest of the new officers and the loyal support of the Alumni, an interesting evening was enjoyed by all who attended the banquet held in the gym on the night of January 6th. lt was the first venture of this kind for the Alumni and it was a pronounced success. The Et Cetera Club, every member of which is an Alumnus, pro- ceeded to keep the fires burning. They held a smoker and luncheon for the entire Alumni. For information about this entertainment ask anyone who attended, and the answer will be that it was a whale of a success. O nc Hundred Seven The meetings, held from time to time continued to show the loyalty and interest of all. The Alumni backed the Chicago trip in a most gen- erous manner and when the Tigers returned to Louisville as National Champs, they found the Alumni on the job. The reception was proof of the spirit displayed since the beginning of the scholastic year. The splen- did banquet given to the victorious Tigers in the Kentucky Hotel, through the combined efforts of the Alumni and the Courier-Journal, is another success to be chalked up. Great preparations are being made for the Annual Banquet to be held on graduation night and this afair is expected to outshine all previous events of the same kind in past years. That it will be a success there is no doubt. Watch for it, and he in on it. Renew acquaintance with your classmates and school mates. Get the spirit of the affair in your bones. The Annual Alumni Banquet is the place to get it. Prom the foregoing it may be seen that the past year has been the busiest and most eventful in the history of the St. Xavier Alumni. The new officers have proved that their selection was justified. With such men at the helm, backed by an executive committee of live wires, the activities of our Alumni will surely broaden, and we may look forward to a con- tinuance of that pep which has so far characterized that body.

Don't seek a cool and shady place and have a dream that someone is sitting on and holding you down, when in truth you are of such a character that no one can hold you up. Every boy should have a captain-like head to pilot the ocean of life. Two very dangerous rocks you'll have to look for, Uldleness and Dissipa- toin .
