Keep them and they will keep you. 'They are the trade-mark' stamped on every son of Xavier who is loyal and true to his Alma Mater. By them others shall learn of Xavier and what it stands for, through you. In bidding you goodbye we say it in all the sincerity of its real meaning-jGod be with you.

S. ie- ri' FE' ' Class Assemblies URING the year of 1926-27 it has been the custom to go to the auditorium at the end of every period for the reading of marks. For the great majority of us these were pleasant occasions with musical selec- tions by the orchestra and glee club, and recitations and orations by mem- bers of the Senior Class. In addition to the above we were fortunate this year in hearing quite a few interesting and enlightening speakers. The first one of the year was Art B. Hickox, the famous racing driver, giving a humorous safety first talk. He appeared in the suit worn on the track, and filled his address with allusions to his fascinating life as a driver. ' Next came Mr. joseph Conkling giving an address on Navy Day, its origin, its meaning, and its observance. He likewise gave us a few details of the life of that famous man Whose birthday is also celebrated on Navy Day. In November, lVIr. R. Kelsey of Toledo, Ohio, gave an extremely good talk on boys, education, and ambition. He visualized goals for us, he gave us stories of triumphs over seemingly insurmountable handicaps, and assured us of the worth of acollege education. The next speaker to be heard in the auditorium was Father de Sylva, of India. He gave us a resume of missionary work in his country, telling of the hardships of the priests in that field, and accenting the need of our support for the heroic labors of these men. e Shortly afterward, Mr. Clayton Hamilton, the eminent critic and play- wright, gave an address on Ibsen and his influence on the drama. Mr. Hamilton was as witty and charming as usual and treated his subject in an interesting manner. Other speakers were Mr. Oliver Powell in readings from James Vifhit- comb Riley, The People's Poet , Professor James Richmond of the Rotary Club in awarding the Rotary medal, and Mr. Harvey Yvhite of the Inter-Southern Life in a talk relative to their prize essay. 'We were very fortunate, yes, privileged, in having the pleasure of listening to a recital given by Mme. Estelle Gray-Lhevinne and her six year old son, Laddie Gray-Lhevinne, in our hall on the morning of April 29. The most charming violinist in the world says the New York Tri- bune, and we whole-heartedly agree with it. Her tiny son, Laddie, is probably the youngest pianist in all the world to win return engagements. In May the annual retreat will be held in the auditorium, and we are looking forward to it and expect to derive as much spiritual benefit from it as we did last year. Thomas Mulvey, '27, ... .

C Fifty Class History EARLY four years ago, September, 1923, we, the Graduating Sen- iors of 1927, were the star actors in a. very important educational play, entitled, From Grammar School Stage to High School Freshman . That was a real drama, it was even more, it was the hinge, the pivot, upon which the doors of our future careers swung. Its significance was appall- ing. lt meant that the great stage of Life had decided that we were con- sidered capable and worthy of being promoted a step higher on the Ladder of Success. Our eight years of preparation were finished. The elemen- tary steps had been so well mastered that now the memory and the sub- conscious mind had taken over the control of them. N o doubt you would like to ask whether we, as the stars in this play, were affected by stage fright? Did we make the usual gratifying, to others, number of mistakes? Gentle readers, we anticipate your questions. VVe answer with replies that are as true as the Gospel . VVe were not ex- ceptions to the general rule. Our freshness as Freshmen was amazing. Our mistakes, undoubtedly, were legion. As soon as we recognized our cue, we, like true Freshmen, stepped forward. YVe were stunned by a volley of directions and instructions. VVhat were we to do? XVe followed what we, in our bewilderment, considered the only sane course. VVC heard, and understood only a part, we looked, and saw too much, we were directed, and followed no directions, we stood and waited-for what we knew not. VVhen we recovered our mental consciousness, we found ourselves in our appointed classrooms. Each one wondered what our teachers were like. VVe hoped that they were easy, but feared that they would prove to be veritable ogres. YVe had, it was true, heard some fantastic stories. It was not long, however, before we, found that they were, after all, quite reasonable persons, who were very like all other human beings, sharing both in their virtues and in their shortcomings. After the first excitement had abated, we became good students, and we certainly worked hard in order to make good. S Our Sophomore year began with us taking great pleasure in watching the new arrivals coming to take the places which we had just vacated. VVe now knew the ropes , and we thoroughly enjoyed the blunders and embarrassment of the green Freshies. The class was formally organized, and we elected Charles J. Ritman, President, Anthony J. Dattilo, Vice- President, and Kenneth M. Schaefer, Secretary-Treasurer. One of the Fifty-one members of our class won the first prize in the Louisville division in fl national essay contest on Home Lighting . . VVith our junior year came the feeling that we were of some importance around St. Xavier. YVe were looked up to by the Sophomores and the Freshmen, while the Seniors seldom bothered their heads about us. Wle, on our part, looked down on and pitied the mistakes and childish ways of the Sophomores and, especially, the Freshmen. Yes, we had 'al- ready forgotten our own greenness . Our class officials for this year were john R. Speaker, President, Charles J. Ritman, Vice-President, and Harry R. Smith, Secretary-Treasurer. Our class really became active in athletics this year. VVe are justly able to claim a share in the credit of St. Xavier-'s triumph in producing the 1926 National Catholic, State, and Falls Cities basketball champions. The football and baseball fields, and the track, also felt the presence of the 1926 juniors. This was our happiest year at St. Xavier. Every school activity was now open to us, and we eagerly awaited the coming of the year which should make us Seniors. -The only cloud which, at any time, obscured the joy of this year was the death .of our beloved Principal, Brother Placidus, who died shortly after the opening of the school term. Brother lsidore became his successor, and his genial disposition soon endeared him to every student. Brother Anselm, at the same time, became Prefect of Studies. Several events worthy of more than passing comment occurred during our last year at St. Xavier. YVith the opening of the school term in September, we found that our principal of the previous year, Brother Isi- dore, had departed for Baltimore to take up new duties. VVe regretted that his departure came at such a time that we were unable to bid him goodbye and good fortune in person. Vile soon found that our new principal, Brother Aloysius, was fully able to continue St. Xavier's past successes, and to lead her into a new phase of energetic and invigorating administration. Soon after the class had assembled, a meetingwas conducted under the supervision of artemporary chairman, and the class was formally or- ganized. The officers elected were: Charles Ritman, President, by a unanimous vote, Robert L. Russell, Vice-President, John Moll, Sec- retary and, Charles M. Brown, Treasurer. Q There have been two essay contests in which students of St. Xavier were veryinterested. They were an essay on Lincoln , to commemorate that great man's birthday, and an essay on VVhy Louisvillians Should Patronize the Inter-Southern Life Insurance Company , sponsored by the company for publicity purposes. The inducement in this case was ten cash Fifty-two prizes. Donald Leahy was declared the winner of the Lincoln essay. The Rotary Club's medal for distinctive service to the school was awarded to our popular president, Charles J. Ritman. Every member of the class approved the choice. And now comes the happiest and most glorious event of our high school days. The momentous day of our graduation approaches, it comes with marvellous rapidity, it is upon us. Once again we star in a drama of great importance, a drama in which Life is the producer, director and judge. This time the title is Graduation which means that we have been judged worthy of that first goal of secondary education-the high school diploma. It has been only too truly said, Every joy has its sorrow . YVith the joy and exultation of graduation comes the sorrow and regret of leaving teachers whom we have learned to respect, love, and honor, not only be-- cause they were our teachers, but because they have shown themselves to be the truest and most helpful, and best of friends. There is always sor- row at parting with a good friend, and, though some few may say other- wise, we believe that one of life's greatest sorrows is the leaving of a teach- er who has done his best for us, who has always shown himself to be square in all his dealings, who has patiently borne our numerous shortcomings, and, who has taught us everything that it was possible for him to teach in the short time allotted him. VVe have now come to the end. VVe leave the future of St. Xavier in the hands of those who will succeed to our places as Seniors. 'We feel sure that those future Seniors will continue to uphold the traditions of St. Xavier, and not only preserve them bright and untarnished, but advance and increase their luster and glory. - Marvin A. Lucas, ,27 Fifty-three Class Oratioin Catholic Higher Education ELLOVV Classmates: Now that graduation day is so near, the question naturally arises-what shall I do next? Some will, no doubt, secure a position and glean their future knowledge in the greater school of life, but I dare say, the majority will continue their education in some college. Education! 'What is education? In its broadest sense, education is the development of the powers of man. Catholic education, that in which we are most interested, consists, not only in the training of the mind, but in the development of character. The next question that arises is, which college, if any, shall I attend, the Catholic, or the non-sectarian or muni- cipal college? Classmates, I hope, for your greater good as well as for the greater good of the nation, that it is the Catholic college. I believe that by comparing the aims and ideals of our Catholic college with those of the non-sectarian college, I will be able to convince you more easily of the advantages to be gained by attending a Catholic college. First, let us consider the aims of the Catholic college. They are not multiform, for if they were, all the forces applied to attain them would produce, at best, a negligible Catholic educational resultant. They are that of an organic whole. The one aim and ideal of every Catholic educator is the aim of the Catholic college, it aims not merely at bread-winning, but at soul-saving, not merely at making a living, but at making life Worth the living. i The non-sectarian college, on the other hand, if it does not directly aim to leave God out, at least accomphishes this end. This seems unbe- lievable, but from a questionnaire sent to one thousand students of certain non-Catholic colleges a few years ago, it was revealed that forty-four per- cent of the boys under twenty and eighteen per-cent of the girls of the same age had given up belief in a Personal Deity. The questionnaire also shows that the proportion of disbelievers in immortality increases considerably from the first to the senior year. Facts like these prove conclusively that the non-Catholic colleges have definitely ruled God out of their courses. Fifty-four Next, I turn to the ideals of the Catholic college. These ideals, the ideals of education, are excellently given in those famous words of Cardinal Newman, The object of education is to remove the original dimness of the mind's eye, to strengthen and perfect her vision, to enable the mind to look out into the world right forward, steadily and truly, to give the mind clearness, accuracy, precision, to enable it to use words aright, to under- stand what it says, to conceive justly what it thinks. Therefore, since the main purpose of education is the development of character, the Catho- lic college teaches her pupils the practice of virtue as well as the principles of knowledge. VVe can sum up the ideals of our colleges, then, by stating that they aim to form real men and upright citizens. You may now ask what are the ideals of the non-sectarian colleges? I cannot answer that. No man can, for non-sectarian colleges have no ideals. A college that leaves God out can offer nothing that can be conceived as perfect or even desirable, and that is what anideal is. Classmates, I have left my strongest point until the last--the value of a Catholic higher education. The value of such an education can be divided into three parts: first, the value in regard to law and life of the community. The teachings of the Church-Catholic ethics--are absolutelyqessential to the life of the community. If the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas are read alongside the Declaration of Independence, one is able to get a won- derful view of the doctrines of the Church in reference to the law. Now, if these doctrines and principles of the Catholic Church are applied, as they are applied in Catholic colleges, they will help to develop true liberty, and after it is developed, help to preserve it. Again, the time is not far dis- tant when the country will look to the Catholic men and boys for aid in upholding her laws and institutions. The men who are guiding the des- tinies of this great nation will soon realize, if they have not already done so, that boys who are taught and who believe that there is no God, and that the soul is not immortal are not fit to guide our nation, if it is to be kept the most powerful nation in the world. Second, the value in regard to the welfare of the nation. Catholic higher education has a twofold value in this regard, not only does it fit Fifty-jizm young men for the business world, but it teaches them their religion. From the time a Catholic boy matriculates at a Catholic college until he is grad- uated, he is taught the laws of God by men who know their subject-men who have given up their lives to teach it. Uur Catholic colleges send out into the business world each year a class of young men who can not only take their part in the business of this great nation, but who know their religion and know how to make this a bigger and greater nation by honest dealings with their fellow-men. Besides offering all that a non-Catholic college can offer, Catholic colleges also give this great and valuable asset to their students. Classmates, I now come to the thing which above all makes a Catholic college education preferable to any other--a Catholic higher education makes the man! And as Father Humphrey Nloynihan said, VVe need great men--men, the radiance of whose minds will shine far out over the waters like the radiance of a lighthouse by the sea-men, the influence of whose example will illustrate once more the truth that character quickened by the graces of religion is the power that moves the world . VVhen the time comes, therefore, to decide on the place at which to secure your higher education, I hope that the reasons which I have mention- ed above will be sufiicient to warrant your deciding in favor of a Catholic Higher Education. Henry Asman, ,27. Fifty-six Class Will N view of the fact that in past years many of the treasures which the senior class held in high esteem have been misappropriated, and because many objects which were hallowed by some occurrence in or near it have suffered at the hands of the irresponsible underclassmen, we have decided to draw up a class will, one that will withstand the ravages of Father Time and remain intact until the last member of this glorious class has passed away. KNGVV ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS VVe the senior class of St. Xavier High School of 1927, being about to go out into the hard and cruel world and being of sound mind, in fact having such superhuman intellect that we far surpass the average benighted man, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. First, we give to the Faculty full' permission to use, in any way that will contribute to the further education of mankind, the unbounded knowl- edge and startling discoveries that we have revealed to them from time to time. VVe fully comprehend that many of our discoveries have astound- ed the world, but, nevertheless, in an ardent desire for better and wider education, we reserve no rights upon our work. To our beloved Faculty that has instructed us in the truths and wisdom of this world and the one to come, we bequeath an interminable succession of peaceful nights and ecstatic dreams so that the realities of the classroom will be less severe. Nevermore will they leave to spend the hours during which Morpheus infests the earth, wondering whether their dearly beloved understudies are digging into the principles of Trig with the ardor of a Newton, whether they are pursuing their chemistry with the vim and vigor of a second Pasteur, whether they are following the arguments of Angustias and Captain Veneno5 or whether they are tripping over the dance floors with light feet to the barbaric noises which are known as jazz. VVe acknowledge that we owe to our parents and to the Faculty many debts which we will never be able to pay--debts of love, of kindness, and of sacrifice. To them we bequeath our heartfelt gratitude and our sincerest affections. Also to them We bequeath a first mortgage on our future. May they always be watching every victory that is ours, every success that we achieve, but may they always have their heads turned and their ears closed when we slip from the trail of success, or stumble noisily into the dark hole of failure. . Fifty-seven To our successors at St. Xavier we bequeath our school song, with the admonition that it be sung every time the Tiger licks his chops in victory and at every assembly in the auditorium. If anyone of the future lights of St. Xavier should fail to treat this song with due respect the curse of Max Brown is called down upon him--that he die with hangnails. To the irresponsible juniors we bequeath our senior dignity hoping that they, light-minded as they are, will uphold it with sufficient decorum and gravity. FURTHER, to the juniors we bequeath our classroom and all its belongings: the erasers which we have always handled with so much tender care, the window blinds that have kept out the bothering sunlight- you know how often the sun shines on the south side of Broadway-and, incidentally, some distractions that may have been passing up and down the street, the desks that we have so faithfully guarded from initials and other scratches, and, finally, all pens, pencils, papers, or erasers that may have inadvertently been left there. Tom Mulvey leaves his habit of coming late to James Richard Finne- an. Ma he ever be as Food as Tomy who led in this res ective branch E Y 8 P for the last four years. The rear, righthand seat of our class, as in most others, is best protected from the roving eye of the teacher. VVe hereby bequeath it to Louie Bullock, and hope that he will make full use of his opportunity and not have to sneak into the classroom for a little lunch as joe Eifler does. Pat Ryan bequeaths his Virgil to Paul Emrich. It is no better than any other Virgil except that Pat has written the translation between the lines. May this book save Paul from a lot of hard and unnecessasy work. Butch Allgeier and Pat', Ryan leave the custody of the window-stick to John Bannon. The stick is a little. old and is wired together, but at that it will last as long as most of the members of the class. Two have guarded it in the past year but we feel that one man will be sufiicient in the future. john, we know that we are putting a load on your shoulders but we feel that you are the man for the job. May success be yours in this huge undertaking. Francis McDonough leaves the care of the Mission box to Bernie Bloemer. Vile only hope that he can do as well as Mac did and have a full box every week. V Fifty-eight John Moll, the best customer a chewing-gum merchant ever enjoyed, leaves the valuable collection that he has accumulated under his desk to Frank Lehmenkuler. It is a collection that any junior can be proud of. Beechnut, Spearmint, juicy Fruit, Black jack, Beeman's, P-K's-all have their place under his desk. A piece of Feenamint, too, is there, but only by mistake. John thought it was a P-K but he soon learned of his error. The owner has only two pieces of advice for his heir. Frank should not only chew those pieces that have live or ten minutes of good service in them but he should also increase the collection from time to time. Hubert Neel leaves the hook that he guarded so faithfully in the past year to Joseph VVhelan, advising him that he should use it, instead of the floor, as a resting place for his trick hat. Casey Buechler leaves the pronunciation of his name into the hands of a committee to be chosen by the Faculty. One teacher pronounced the name correctly, but he is dead now. Casey says that you should look at the name, mediate on it, pronounce it any way at all, and you are sure to be wrong. And now we come to the last bequest,-one very near and dear to our hearts, and one that took up much of our valuable time and effort--the jug . In former years every member of the Faculty has had an equal share in this treasure, but we feel that it should be entrusted to one' man only. For years-+yes, three of them-we looked for this man. Then, at the beginning of this school year he came into our midst. He immediately took charge of the greater part of this institution. The jug , he put much time and effort into it, he gradually made it one of the features of the school. Soon it became very popular, so popular, in fact, that any and every day a large number of students could be found in attendance. Takir g this work as a criterion we feel that at last we have found the right man for the job. So we hereby bequeath the sole guardianship of the jug to him. May he always keep up the interest shown in it this year and continue to break all records for attendnce. VVE HEREBY appoint T. J. Underwood as executor of this will and stipulate that his bond shall not exceed 55,ooo. IN TESTIMONY VVHEREOF, witness our hand this 14th day of June, 1927. CSignedj Senior Class, 727. Elmer P.

Practically the same, at least alike, happenings have occurred, with an occasional high-light that happens once in -a considerable length of time. Entering in 1924 as lowly freshmen, we assembled in the auditorium of St. Xavier where we were assigned instructors. joseph Lawson was elected to the presidency of the Frosh , with Matthew Henchey and Robert Schuhmann taking the reigns of the vice-president and secretary- treasurer, respectively. Wie being new to the school, and the school being new to us, we there- fore got downto study to make a success of our initial year at St. Xavier. The monotony of study was broken somewhat by indulgence in athletics. The following September we returned to St. Xavier quite the men of the world. VVe no longer were freshmen, we were sophomores. VVith this distinction as an asset, we set out to make of our second year even more of a success than our first. VVa.lter Butler was our president. He was assisted in his official duties by Lindsey McMahon and John Bannon as vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Tragedy stalked at this time. Brother Placidus, our beloved principal, was called to his God. The vacancy was filled by Brother Isidore, a lovable old man. The school, like a warrior who witnesses his comrade fall before the enemy's iire, continued onward. Next, our attention was concentrated on the Tigers, our representative basketball squad. VVe sophomores helped to cheer on these boys for two reasons: first, because of our school spirit, and second, because Lee Koert- ner, a sophomore, pastimed with the team which later was to annex so many championships. YV ith the resumption of scholastic activities in the following September, we, now juniors, found a new principal in Brother Aloysius. Also we found that our number had decreased greatly since we were freshmen, only 9 5 continuing the full high school course, as several had completed the two year commercial course. The guiding destiny of our junior year is in the hands of VVilliam Hill, president, John Evans, vice-president, Matthew Henchey, secretary-treasurer. Wie have reached the three-quarter pole and are rounding into the stretch. It is hoped that we Hash by the barrier, winners in the race of life. John Evans, '28 .

The Sophomores HE class of 1929 has passed another milestone on the road of school- life. No longer are we obliged to bear the name of freshmen, having passed that age of childishness and entered the more sedate sphere of the sophomores. Those who were chosen to guide the sophomore ship during the second year of its cruise are: Raymond Hanley, president, Fred Moore, vice- president, and George Schuhmann, secretary-treasurer. Two of these, Raymond Hanley and George Schuhmann, were oiiicers of the class during its freshman year. During our two years at St. Xavier we have made an enviable record as a class. In our freshman year we were active on the campus and in the classroom. Vile had representative teams in football, basketball, baseball. Near the end of the term a Latin examination was given for the purpose of deciding who should represent the class in the state Latin tournament held at Bowling Green. Russel Lieber won the honor. During the year of 1926-27 we find the sophomore class well repre- sented in the activities of the. school. On the roll of ofiicers of the St. Xavier Unit of the Catholic Student's Misssion Crusade we find the names of two sophomores, Thomas Sherman and James Reardon. The glee club and orchestra number many sophomores on their list. On the campus we also have our share of representatives. The sophomore teams of the class of 729 are a credit to the school. The football team went through the season with a lone defeat, and over- whelmed the freshman team in our annual classic of the gridiron. The Cubs in basketball were not only eiiicient players, but added a sportman- ship cup and most valuable player trophy to the list of trophies. After the midyear a series of debates was held to decide the champion team of the four sophomore classes. In the first round QB and 'LD won the right to meet each other in the finals. The entire sophomore class attended the iinals and saw 2B defeat QD, thus winning the honor of repre- senting the sophomore class in the freshman-sophomore debate. The spirit of the sophomore class has carried it through two years of high school with much credit and success. VVe have been in the fight and intend to remain there. VVe sa.w the Tigers carry off the National Catholic honors during our freshman year, and the following season we saw them come back after having made one of the gamest fights ever witnessed in the Loyola Gym, in an effort to defend their title, which they fell short of just by inches. VVe are stillproud of them, and we'll back them again and again during our coming two years. Thus we close our second year of high school life in a blaze of glory.

VVe assembled in the auditorium where We were divided into eight sections and assigned to our classrooms. 'We felt lost at iirst, but as time went on we got better acquainted with the school, our teachers and classmates, and entered into the true spirit of dear old St. MX . ' 'Within the course of a few weeks We were informed to have an election of oliicers. Each of the eight classes elected three members to represent them at the election of officers for the Freshman C lass. These twenty-four freshmen voted for the ofiicers of the class and elected the following: VVilliam Buschmeyer, president, YVilliam lmorde, vice-president, Nor- bert Kirchdorfer, secretary-treasurer. Our next step was to form a freshman football team. A large number of candidates reported for the initial practice, and after a few days of scrimmaging the squad was cut. Practice began in earnest, and although unable to have a workout every day a good team was formed which made an enviable record. VVhile football was at its height a freshman basketball league was or-- ganized. Great interest was shown in this new venture. From the Very outset it was easy to see that no team was going to have a run-away race. The leadership was held by IC during the greater part of the season, but a linal spurt by IB necessitated a play-off between these respective teams at the conclusion of the league season. After a hard battle IC won the title. The freshman basketball league brought out the ability of the players, which made it an easy matter to select the members of the Kitten team. The latter, composed entirely of freshmen, went through a strenuous sea- son, winning a large majority of their games. In the latter part of january the first of a series of debates was held in the auditorium. The victors in the preliminaries were IB, IC, IH, and IF. The second round eliminated IF and IC. In the finals IB won the laurels and will meet the winner of the sophomore classes for the champion- ship of the sophomore-freshman classes. Thus at the end of our first year at St. XB we feel that we have become a part of the school, doing our share in athletics and scholastic activities, and displaying a school spirit that was an outstanding feature of the class of '3O. VVe are ready to continue our record when next September rolls around. XVilliam Imorde, '30 Seventy-t'wo 2 6 2 -an Jw Q .

Debating NFURTUNATELY, the subject for high school intra-state debates this year was such that we felt as though we could not debate both sides of the question, therefore the school did not participate in outside contests. However, a system of inter-class e.limination debates was intro- duced with the intention of determining the champion debating team of the school, and also with a View to obtaining a perspective on next year's debat- ing material. It was found that this process would require in all seventeen debates to determine the winner. Fourteen of these have already been held, and much promising talent has been revealed. Each succeeding debate has been more keenly contested, and the interest is waxing greater and greater as the elimination progresses. The iirst of these elimination debates was held on Jan. 31, between IC and ID. The subject was 'cResolved: That Automobile Trafiic Should Be Confined to Certain Streets , the afiirmative being upheld by Class D and the negative by Class C. The latter was victorious by a unanimous decision. Freshman classes. IH and IE, clashed in the second debate of the series in which class H was the victor. On the following day, classes IA Sez'en!y-sisv and IB debated the subject Resolved: That the Prohibition Act Should Be Enforced By the Local 'Government Rather Than By the Federal Gov- ernment. Class IB, upholding the negative, emerged on top. This was the best debate, so far, of the series. The next debate was between classes IF and IG. Class IF was the vic- tor. These debates completed the first round of the Freshman contests, leaving classes B, C, F, and H undefeated. The second round began on Mar. II with IF opposing IH. On the same day IB met IC. This completed the second round and left IB and IH undefeated. These two teams met on Mar. 31 and a most interesting debate ensued. IB, upholding the affirmative side of the question, Rev solved: That Immigration Should Be Restricted For a Period of at Least Ten Years , was awarded the decision. , Meanwhile the sophomores were not idle. Classes 2B and 2A met on the subject, Resolved: That the U. S. Government Should Intervene in the Nicaraguan Situation . 2B, supporting the affirmative, was the winner. In successive debates, 2D defeated 2C, and was in turn defeated by 2B, which results in 2B meeting IB of the Freshman. On Feb. I I the first Junior inter-class debate was held between classes 3A and 3C in which class 3A, the negative side, were the victors. Class 3C defeated the Commercial class, thus leaving 3A and 3C to contend for the honors of the Junior Class. These two teams met on Mar. 2 5 in what proved to be the most spirited debate to date. The question was Resolved: That Manual Training Should Be Substituted For Athletics in the High Schools . 3A, the negative, won the argument. By virtue of this 3A will meet the Senior team. The Senior debate between classes 4A and 4B was staged on Feb. I4. This debate, though not so keenly contested as some of the others, was so interesting on account of the high caliber of argument advanced by both sides, that not one of the audience heard the 2 o'clock bell. The subject was Resolved: That the U. S. Government Should Interfere in Mexico . Class 4B, upholding the negative, was victorious. The Senior-Junior debate is scheduled between 4B and 3A on Apr. 29. On the same day the Sophomore-Freshman debate between 2B and IB will take place. The final contest will be staged on May 25 between the winners of these two debates. A handsome trophy will be awarded the winner. Benedict Mattingly, 727 Sevvnlrl-sez en i 3 5 Sitting--E. Thiemann, D. Leahy, H. Logan, E. Mueller, P. Ryan. Standing-S. Huber, C. Ritman, J. Beisler, F. McDonagh. Library StaH' ARLY in the spring of 1925 the library began its very useful, if somewhat humble, existence. Though it was started on a small scale, it proved tremendously popular with the student-body. As a result of this it began a healthy, if somewhat unbalanced, growth. A call for books was sounded through the school, and every one answered nobly. Books poured in rapidly and the library took on a business-like air. VVhen school opened in Sept. 192 5, it contained about 1200 volumes. This, however, was only a beginning. Books continued to pour in until the end of school. The library then numbered about 2800 books. In Sept. 1926, it was reopened when school started, and at once began to grow at a great pace. By the end of December there were 5000 volumes on its shelves. At the present time the number is 5500. The library contains several departments. The fiction, while the largest department, is by no means the most important. Vile have a Very complete reference section. The languages, too, are well represented, there being Sezventy-eight numerous volumes of Latin, French, Spanish, German, and Greek. The science section contains many texts on Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. The business section is well developed, as is the English Literature. department. With the growth of the library the care of it grew too strenuous for the Brothers. The crowd at noon recess demanded that several- persons be ready to serve them. Several seniors settled the difliculty by volunteer- ing to aid. Edward Cavanaugh, Gilbert Kirwan, Richard Jutt, and Joe Evans became the first library staff. They did their work well and laid the foundation for a competent staff each year. G VVith their graduation someone had to care for the library during the coming year. iAgain the senior class came to the rescue, and Charles Ritman, Frank McDonogh, Don Leahy, Harold Logan, and Jimmy Phil- lips volunteered to care for it during the first recess. Edward Huber, Edward Mueller, John Beisler, john Bannon, and John Ryan agreed to tend to the demand of the second recess. Under the guidanceof this staff the library has become a model place in which to study or read. Every day at recess there are hundreds of students who patronize the library. Many are busy with some assignment that requires a reference work, while others can be seen perusing the Book Report list, and still others at the magazine rack reading the current articles or glancing at the illustrations contained in them. The debating teams have found the library a great aid in preparing their debates, and often during their study period a debating team may be found in the library rooms. The staff has also found time after school hours to aid in the care of the library. All of the books, 5 500 of them, have been accessioned, which was a long and tedious task. They also took upon themselves the task of learning the art of bookcraft, and, through their skill in this work, hun- dreds of books have been saved from the discard pile. The library won a very commendable remark from one of the state board of examiners of high schools while on his visit here last year. VV e hope that the staff of next year, and the following years, will keep up the good work and continue to make the library a real live part in the student-life at St. Xavier. John P.

Sherman Catholic Students' Mission Crusade HEN the Holy Lands were in the hands of the enemies of the Church5 when the Church needed the aid of the monarchs of Europe, the Crusades were formed, and they spread, with a God Wlills It , fighting for a more extensive propagation of Faith. So in this modern day, when we realized the inactivity of the students of the World, and noted the neces- sity of spiritual and financial aid for the Nlissions throughout the World, we formed another Crusade, not to take up arms for the purpose of Faith, but to take up the shield of prayer and the lance of good Works, to go forth and light spiritually for the welfare of religious teaching. St. X'avier's is only one part of this noble army, but, like the true soldiers her students are, it has gone far toward fulfilling the general pur- pose of the Crusade. Wlith such able commanders as: Brother Leonard Francis-Moderatorg Charles Ritman--President5 Thomas Sherman Highly ac .awx f N -Vice President, and james Reardon-Secretary, the St. X unit cannot fail in its purpose. Brother Leonard Francis has filled the chair as Moder- ator for four years, and under his able direction the unit has prospered. Charles Ritman has acted as President of the unit for one year only, but has, by representing the unit in all state meetings, proven his capability. Thomas Sherman, in addition to being an officer in the St. X unit, is also Vice-President of the State Executive Board, and has filled this office to the satisfaction of his superiors. James Reardon, acting Secretary of the unit, is working earnestly for the success of the missions. However, with the best of leaders the army cannot be victorious unless the soldiers co- operate as one, and this the students of St. Xavier have done. Voluntary financial contributions and offerings of prayer and good works are the means which the St. Xavier unit employs to promote the Mission endeavors throughout the world. The students have rallied a- round their leaders showering gifts, both spiritual and financial, and from these various foreign fields have been aided. The St. Xavier unit prides itself on the fact that it has nobly sustained the Louisville Local Conference in its promise of aid toward the building of True Cross Chapel at Crusade Castle. A relic of the True Cross has been given to the Headquarters of the C. S. M. C., and at the June Conference Meeting it was decided to erect a Chapel of the True Cross. It was to aid in erecting this Chapel that the St. Xavier unit donated a sum of umoney, for which it received a plaque of the Crusade Shield and the Crusade Flag. From the time the unit was established in St. Xavier until the present, the students have taken an active part in the endeavors of the society, and in view of this fact it is not surprising to note that the year of 1926-1927 was one of great success. VVith the earnestness and sincerity that is charac- teristic of the St. Xavier Crusaders it is possible to attain the end of the Catholic Student's Mission Crusade-the Greater Honor and Glory of God.

It took quite a while to organize the club and to prepare for their monthly concerts in the school hall. The efforts of the singers were confined to furnishing musical programs for the students and the faculty, but these soon became a source of pleasure and anticipation. . The next year Brother Dominic took charge of the club, and' to him is due much of the credit for the development of interest in music appre- ciation and the Wonderful success attained during the year. The offerings of the songsters were received everywhere With: applause, and their popu- larity became a permanent thing with the student-body. Concerts were rendered at private entertainments, banquets, and over station VVHAS. The season was pronounced a huge success by everyone. In September, 1926, the call for candidates brought out over two hun- dred aspirants, all eager to attain places on the Glee Club which had proven so popular the previous year. As graduation had taken its toll of singers, the club had to be completely reorganized, but it did not take long before the new singers had attained the same success that had been so marked the year before. Practices were held on Fridays and Sundays, and after the club had attained the necessary proficiency, it was divided into single, double, and triple quartets. l The Glee Club's first performance was at the annual Christmas enter- tainment in the school hall. This was followed a week later by their ap- pearance in the Cathedralon Christmas ,morning When they sang at the second mass of the Right Reverend Bishop. A few weeks later the club sang at St. Charles Boromeo's Church. The selections rendered by Harold Logan, our soloist, were always pleasing. This talented young student is one of the main reasons Why the Glee Club is so popular. ln many of the numbers offered by the singers, Hugh Clines, Oscar Ratterman, Bernard Chism, and George Schuhmann took solo parts. The Glee Club was fortunate in the possession of an ex- cellent and gifted young accompanist, Henry Robben. He deserves much credit for the success of the club. The final appearance of the club will be at the graduation exercises, thus closing another very successful year in the history of our Glee Club. George Schuhmann, '2 7 Eighty-three Left to right-S.

The present syncopators are composed of many new members along with a few of last year's organization. The work this year has been handicapped by the lack of experienced members, but perseverance has been the keynote of its success, and next year the school will have one of the best orchestras in its history as very few will be lost by graduation. The orchestra has furnished entertainment for the student-body at the numerous functions held in the auditorium, especially at the monthly as- sembly of the students. At the annual election of the alumni officers the orchestra in conjunction with the Glee Club gave an excellent program. Brother Dominic anticipates a number of programs over the radio, and therefore the musicians may at any time break into the limelight and be- come a very highly appreciated organization for which its director deserves great credit.

In almost every branch of sports the members of this club have made the X stand out, in victory or defeat, like the cross on the Crusaders of old, as symbolic of the spirit of loyalty and honor for which they stood for, fought for, through every battle in the sports' arena. On May 2, the X Club was entertained by the Alumni with a unique program of several line numbers, after which the certificates for the varsity in the various branches of sport were awarded. Several members of the club will graduate this year, many of them be- ing three letter men and when autumn rolls around the club will look for- ward to the time when their places will be filled by some more sterling sons of Xavier who will add more fame and honor to the school by their clean sportmanship. UX77 Eighty-five Our Trophies HE X club of St. Xavier has, as a remembrance of its efforts, a display case well filled with trophies, representing victories in all branches of sport. The cups designating the greatest victories are those which were won at Chicago at the National Catholic Tournament. In 1925, 1926, and 1927 we won cups for sportsmanship, ability, and determination. Aside from this array of trophies we have insignias of the City, Falls Cities, Sectional, and State tournament, and many cups won by the junior repre- sentatives of the school. Baseball, track, boxing, and tennis, also come in for their share. Another case will soon have to be added to the two now containing the trophies, if the succeeding teams of old St. X come through as those of late years have done. Wle have every confidence that they will, and it is becoming somewhat of a tradition for the Tigers to bring back a trophy from the Chicago tournament, for in each of the three years that they have gone to the windy city they have come home with a trophy. Next year should not be an exception, and we are hoping that the coveted Cardinal Mundelein trophy will again iind its way back to Louisville where it may rest for a year. Eighty-six The Alumni URING the last few years the Alumni of St. Xavier have 12,5 55 IV! been rejuvenated by a spirit of ac- tivity which broke forth from its dormant stage and transformed its latent energy from the potential brand into a real dynamic force. It has been set in motion and has accomplished much in a short time, but the possibilities for good in its Held of action are manifold and those behind the driving force are determined to do all in their power to increase the momentum with each succeeding year. No doubt the wonderful record A ef ---'Q-' I which the Tigers have made in re- cent years had much to do with the transformation of the spirit of the Alumni of St. KX. VVhen their school came to the front, not only locally but nationally, in basketball, it was like stepping on the accelerator of a slow moving, high powered car, and how the Alumni machine responded to this stimulant is public knowledge. VVith their interest in basketball aroused it soon spread to football, and although St. X has not the following on the gridiron which it has on the court, it will not be many seasons before the Green and Gold will be numbering its spectators at Alumni Field by the thousands instead of the hundreds. The Alumni can be proud of their record, particularly during recent years. They have banqueted the different teams, and have established a new custom of banqueting the graduating class of the school each year. This is done on the night of the graduating exercises, thus establishing a definite date each year for the annual Alumni banquet, and giving it an added feature which has done much to instill interest in the younger mem- bers of the organization. Each year this event, the St. X Alumni Frolic, is becoming a greater one and the time is not far off when it will be a well established number in the important annual gatherings of Louisville. It will be held this year on the evening of June 14th and the members in charge of it anticipate the most enjoyable and successful frolic the Alumni has ever had. Eighty-seven Wlilliam ZA. Reisert, President At the annual election of officers new men were placed behind the exe- cutiveswheel. Mr. VVilliam Kelly, of the Class of ,IO, who worked like a Trojan during his period in the president's chair, was succeeded by Mr. VVilliam A. Reisert, of the class of '88. Every one will concede that the reins of the Alumni will not be slack While in the hands of Mr. Reisert. Already he has made his activity felt in the method of his organizing ability.

Since Brother Sylvanus' advent to the roster of athletic ol'licials at St. X , our athletic reputation has improved with inconceivable rapidity. VVere it not for his untiring efforts we might have never had the reputation of National Catholic High School Champions, for it was through his interest in the Catholic tournament that we got the chance to go to Chicago. Aside from managing all the athletic affairs, he has taken a great interest in track, and has always had a worthy team to offer competition. He is also a great worker for the Alumni Associa- tion, getting them interested in the Tigers, as their attendance at the games and generosity in the Tiger Fund clearly shows. VVe all sincerely hope that Brother Sylvanus will remain with us for some time to come, and continue to have the success with our athletics which he has enjoyed thus far. 'Ihere is one real reason why in the last two years our teams have won so many titlesg this reason is Brother Constant. After his marvelous achievement in 1926, that of winning the National Catholic High School championship at Chicago, he was left with but two regulars, around whom he must mould a team. He showed his ability by turning out a team which was believed by many to be the equal last year's champions. Aside from his basketball triumphs in Louis- ville, he again took his team to Chicago and there. almost, repeated the triumph of the previous year by playing in the semi-finals. As a baseball coach he again showed wonder- ful ability by winning the Falls Cities League Championship. VVith his ability as a coach he possesses those qualities of greater merit so essential for those who direct high school boys in athletics-a gentle- man of congenial temperament and a lover of clean sports. Ninety COACH HARMON joseph Harmon, familiarly known as joe, is the gentleman from Notre Dame to whom we give credit for carrying our cohorts through the most successful football season St. X has ever experienced. At the outset of the season Coach Harmon won the heart of every St. X gridder, and it was through his magnetic personality that we were spurred on to do great things. Coach Harmon came to our school last year from Notre Dame, with practically no coaching experience. He showed, however, that he knew football like a book, for, in these two years, he has turned out the best football teams ever to represent St. X on the gridiron. Joe will be back next year, and although he will lose practically the whole squad through graduation, we are quite sure that he will mould another team worthy of the traditions of old St. UX'U We will not be here to work with him, but we assure him that the class of '27 will back him in everything, and that he will have no stronger rooters than those who worked with him for the past two seasons. VVin or lose, we the Tiger Staff and Class of '27, are with you, Joe. 3 1 3 1 1 4 2 9 .sw ja 1155, ,gs-Q-gg E 5 L . 5' it f A I S it :MM .. g- -2' 5 ,shelf z. i. if --ff fi in sihbtivi Ammo: CAPTAIN SCHAEFER A fighting captain, capable ground gainer, efficient passer, and adept punter, are titles that may be mentioned with the name of Kenny Schaefer, captain of our 1926 football team. He is undoubtedly one of the best football players ever developed at St. X , and he display- ed his ability by starring throughout the season, both offensively and defensively. Due to a very unfortunate incident, Captain Schaefer was severely injured, which forced him out of the lineup in the last two games of the season. Besides being a star on the gridiron, he has displayed his talent on the basketball floor and baseball field. N inety-one MALE I3'ST. XAVIER o Our initial conflict of the season was to a certain extent a success. Male High in the two preceding ye-ars vanquished our cohorts by the one sided scores of 38-o and 34-0, respectively. This year they were credited with but two touchdowns. Due to heavy rains during the week the gridiron was a quagmire and our shifty backs were at a great disadvantage. Our representa- tives psrformed well, but were unable to cope with the weight and strength which iR R.H. pHlLLlPSi lf.fl'.' BnzzELL L5 Dnlrnugo LJ-1. W,-Q. ,', Male exhibited. The general trend of opin- ion seelms to be that a different story would have been related had the field been fast and our backtield been able to demonstrate many play-s which, under the conditions, were not brought into use. Despite the fact that we were defeated, everyone seems well satisfied because the Xaverian warriors showed light and succeeded in diminishing by a great margin the- score of previous en- counters. Dattilo, Ober, Schaefer, Bloomer, Duerr and Mangan showed great ability in this contest. l Ninety-two Hennmcns o,.a. Fm NEGRN -me. GLASGOVV o-ST. XAVIER 16 We entered our second conflict with a do or die spirit, and as a result gained vengeance for the defeat handed us in '25 by the Glasgow gridders. We humbled our Southern Kentucky rivals to the tune of I6-o. This encounter was also carried on in a. sea of mud, and it is believed the battle would have been much more picturesquehad the participants out-Fitted themselves with -Rowe battleships and submarines. Captain Schae- fer'was the shining light of this contest, being responsible for many substantial gains and one touchdown. The line worked in unison and showed great offensive ability. Allgeier, a fullback, played a whale of a game and was crtdited with the other mark- er. This game was a marked improvement over the Male contest and our Bengals show- ed the true spirit which is characteristic of any Xaverian team. ' i Ninety-three Bnuozn ning' LEBANON 6--ST. XAVIER 38 Our third engagement of the season found us opposing the gridders representing Leb- anon High. In this fracas the Tigers were given their first opportunity to show their wares on a dry gridiron, Our superiority was shown by the number of markers chalk- ed up on the scoresheet in our favor. Dattilo, ,.. ,A W.. W-, Ober, Duerr and Hendricks were the fore- most stars of this eneounter, romping around the ends lat will, and with the able assis- tance of the line were able to mutilate the enemy. This was our first real perform- ance and was so favorable, that we had hopes ofelinishing the season with a clean slate. Ninety-fo-u-r pilqutssen r.a.fW Toss. as K. Nl. I. 6-ST.

Thse boys fought, and fought hard, but were unable to withstand the onslaught SCHUHMR of our machine-like Tiger offense. In this encounter we suffered a great loss when our Star halfback, Butch Ober, was put out for the season with an injured knee.

Both teams were put to a great disadvantage, and no conclusions can be drawn as to the outcome of this encounter on a dry Field. However, we-iwere by far the better in the mud, and at no time was our goal line threatened. Everyone per- formed well and Coach Harmon was able to use two teams in this game. Phillips, O'Hern and Bloemer were best in the line, while Schuhmann, who replaced Ober, and Hendricks were outstanding in the backfield. NEW ALBANY 7-ST. XAVIER14 We attained our second consecutive vic- tory over our Hoosier rivalstin that his- toric conflict by the scbrewof t4-7. This battle was hectic from beginning to end, and until the last few minutes of play no victor was ascertained. This was by far the most favorable performance of the year with Captain Schaefer and Dutchi' Hend- ricks, our scrappy little quarter, leading the hacklield, with Bloemer and Finnegan prov- ing a tower of strength in the line. Schuh- mann played a great game and is expected to develop into a star before bidding fare- well to Old Xavier. Dattilo galloped the ends for long gains, and played his usual good game. We displayed our best inter- ference of the entire season in this contest. CATHEDRAL o-ST. XAVIER xz In Captain Schaefer's last performance of the season he led his Xaverian Tigers to Indianapolis where they opposed the grid- ders of Cathedral High. A battle royal en- sued and when the smoke of the skirmish had cleared the Tigers were returned the winners by two touchdowns. Schaeffer was the mainm cog in our machinery, chalking up 'both touchdowns. Due to a great mis- fortune a few days after this encounter Capt. Schaefer suffered' a very serious injury and was forced to hang up his togs for the re- maindereof the season. Others who starred in this setto were Henchey, Bruder, Bizzell and Finnegan. This victory was aqgreat triumph for Coach Harmon, it being the school where he starred in high school athletics. It was his second victory over them in his two years of coaching at St. HX.

This remark may be said of Dutch Hendricks, diminutive guard of the famous St. X basketball team. While in high school Dutch has made an enviable record. He made the team in his sophomore year, won the honor of being the unanimous choice for all-American guard at the Catholic tourna- ment in 1926, and is, perhaps, the best known high school player of today. To quote the Loyola News at the last tournament in Chicago: There is no more colorful figure in the present tourney than Dutch Hendricks. Speaking of him in a recent number of the Herald-Post, Mr. Warren Collins, sports editor, says: In Dutch Hendricks the Saints have one of the greatest basketball players ever developed in the state of Kentucky. When this midget marvel finishes his high school career Louisville will see the passing of one of its little idols. Aside from basketball, he has also starred in football and baseball. He has a host of friends, and his athletic ability is only surpassed by his personal popularity. my-v. MANAGER FUEGLEIN Joe is a rather quiet youth, but is very industrious and always dependable. In the fall he performed on the football team, and although not a regular, he was there every day giving all he had in the daily practices and scrimmages- Examples like 'this oftentimes mean more to a team than a star performer, and since Coach Harmon's arrival this spirit has come to the front by leaps and bounds. No coach can make a team if he has just his regulars to work with, and the lack of a large squad has always been a handicap to St. NX until the last two seasons. May we have many more of joe's type. As a basketball manager, Joe was always on the job. If a machine was needed to aid in trans- porting the players he was always on hand with his, car. The many little details connected with such a position are often overlooked by the attrac- tion of the game, but it takes a man of details to keep tabs on the many little things connected with a basketball team, and we had such a man in Joe. Ni-ne ty-nine ,Vt gx t ,SMITH-F. Evans--P. BASKETBALL Having completed a very successful foot- ball campaign, all eyes were focused with great concentration on the basketball sea- son. Coach Brother Constant was confront- ed with a very pu-zling problem, for when the First call was given, six of the National Champions were missing. Hendricks, Smith, Ober and Koertner were the only veterans to report, and only two of these ,were re- gulars on the wonder team of 1926. The outstanding newcomers were Evans, Vetter, Moore, Dattilo, and Malone. VVhen the sea- son started, very few of the Tiger sup- porters had any hope of seeing a team ap- proach the caliber of the champions of, 1926. As the season progressed, a smooth running machine was moulded into form, and the 1927 season far surpassed anyone's early predictions. MINOR GAMES Our season opened with the Shepherds- ville High furnishing the opposition- In our first encounter we opposed a very determin- ed foe, and were just able to eke out a 13- II 1-ictory. In this conflict we suffered the loss of joe Duerr, a forward, due to an in- fkoznvn EQ--c.e Heunmens-as jury which put him out of the game for the remainder of the season. Much was ex- pected of him, and gloom spread over the Tiger's camp. In our return game with the Shepherdites they were not so deter- mined, our team scoring an easy victory on their, Hoo: by the score of zo-5. Koertner and Vetter played well in these contests. VVe opposed the Xaverians, of St. joseph's of Bardstown, and on both occasions hum- bled them, the scores being 28-I6 and 19-7. The Bardstown boys fought against their traditional rivals, but were unable to cope with the passing attack of Smith, Hend- ticks, and Dattilo. K. M. I. met us on two occasions, but were unable to offer much opposition ex- cept in the form of rooting, and we'll ad- mit they are second to none in this. The scores of these games were 41-15 and 52-11. Evans, Koertner, and Hendricks played ex- ceptionally well. Our easiest set of games came to a close when we opposed Anchorage. YVe met this team but once, which was sulhcient to show the superiority of the Tigers. We were re- turned the victors by a 38-Io margin. Vet- ter and Ober were worthy of praise in this encounter.

Smith and Hendricks, the stars of last year, showed up well. In a return engagement we were again the winners, the count this time being 39-14. lyfoore, Evans, and Ma- lone led the Bengal attack in this setto. Our other opponents on this journey were the representatives of St. Simon's Catholic High School. VVe met our first defeat of the season against these lads, and they de- serve great praise for the ability shown against our boys. They displayed entirely too much Christmas spirit by giving our cohorts a 30-15 reverse. We returned the hospitality in Louisville, how,ver, and even- ed up matters with a 25-21 victory, in what was, according to many supporters of the net game, the fastest, and best exhibition of the game played in Louisville during the whole season. The largest crowd to attend any high school game in Louisville when an out of town team was an opponent, saw this engagement. Smith, Hendricks, and Moore were the satellites of this game. V FALLS CITIES GAMES The Falls Cities championship again found St- X as its 'possessor. There were two undefeated teams in the battle for the covet- ed honor, St. Xavier and Manual, but our team carried ot? the honors by winning two more games than the Crimson boys. Our first Falls Cities engagement was with Jeif. This game was probably the most exciting of the entire series. VVe played them very early in the season and were able to win by just one point, after trailing for almost the entire forty minutes of play. We defeated them by a score of 14.-13 after a hectic battle, when Koertner snatched the game out of the defeat column by tossing two free throws near the end of the game. Later in the season we crossed the river and easily disposed of the Red Devils in our second meeting to the tune of 34.-22. Ma- lone came to the front in this game by dis- playing a brand of ball that sent a thrill into every Tiger rooter. One Hundred One We crossed the river earlier in the season to meet the New Albany Bulldogs. In our first encounter with them we were not con- ceded a chance of gaining the victory. Our Tigers rose to their highest perfection of the net game in this contest and tore the dope sheet to bits by trouncing the Bull- dogs 38-I7. It was a wonderful exhibition of basketball as it should be played, and Dutch Hendricks, our little, captain, thrill- ed the packed hall by his marvelous playing. He was ably assisted by his' team-mates, particularly Smith. In our returniengage- ment we again disposed of the Northsiders by the score of go-16. Evans and',Smith found the nets easy picking in this contest. THE CITY TITLE In combination with the Falls Cities title were the engagements with Male and- Man- ual for the City championship. We dispos- ed of Male on two occasions, but were only able to split even with Manual. The games with Male were interesting, although the scores show victories by rather wide margins. The first game with Male was a fast confiict. We ran up a 'large score in the first half, but they outplayed us in the second part, although not able to overcome the lead we had piled up, the score resulting in a 25-17 victory for us. The second conflict was almost a reverse of the first in form. 'Male fought us almost on even terms the first half, and many thought they would keep the game in doubt until the end, due to the wonderful spurt they had made late in the season. In the sec- ond half, however, the Tigers put on another notch of speed and ran around their heavier, but slower, opponents, running the score from a iz-zo count in the first half to a final count of 34.-17. Great anticipation prevailed in the Tiger camp as the time for the first encounter with Manual approached. Our champs of last year had downed the strong Crimson ma- chine in both.games, and the thought of these two games was still in the air when their first engagement of 1926-27 approach- ed. iWe were again doped to come out on the short end, but proved ourselves not sub- ject to dopesters by defeating Manual be- fore the largest crowd that ever attended a high school game in Louisville, by the score of 25-zo. In the' second game we suc- cumbed to the Crimson attack by the score of 27-zo, before a larger crowd than even the first game attracted. The Tigers play- ed this game under a mental strain which cracked like a whip in the very midst of the fray, causing them to change- from a scintillating attack in the first part of the contest to a most ragged exhibition of play- ing in the remainder of the encounter. It was shrewd psychology, but poor sportsmanship, and finally reached the point where St. Xavier severed all ath- ilxi NH 3 1 ji: One Hundred Two 3 5 1 1 Q 1 N N x 1 i E l 1 i 1 i 'K , s m l . X. letic relations with Manual. Evans star- red in the first game, with Hendricks play- ing his usual brand. Our captain was hurt in the second contest, causing him a forced lay-olf of a few weeks. INDEPENDENT GAMES In the second game of the season we op- posed the strong Knights of Columbus team, and, for the first time in twenty-one starts, we met defeat. This team, composed entire- ly of St. X graduates, disposed of our Tigers by a score of 21-18. It was a game in which we met too much experience for an early season conflict, but it proved a great help to our team as it met some real opposition. At the termination of the Christmas trip, the public was given a taste of the basket- ball played the previous season, when the National Catholic Champs reorganized and opposed the K. of C. team in the latter's gym. The Champs won 22-14. THE OVVEN SBORO GAME After we had finished our schedule we had to accept the demand of the Owensboro fans and meet their favorites. This was the greatest game ever played in the clown river city. Tickets could not be bought the night of the game. Seventy-five rooters from Louisville went down to cheer the Tigers. It looked as though the Owensboro fans were going to see their red-clad warriors defeat the champions, but a comeback in the final quarter, staged by Dutch and his team. brought victory to us by the score of 25-21. It was one of the feature games of the season. One Hundred Three -- '-xx ct... -.. rs C. ...Q .e-e. 1- -, W----.. X ff' ,. M ,,. ,,,,.-...-S. ,...-. X ,M -. t ... 1 . XM A .. ...Q-fo l The National Catholic Tournament Great anxiety prevailed in Louisville when the time came for the Tigers to entrain for Chicago in order to defend their crown as National Catholic Champs. Our boys em- barked with plenty of determination, al- though given no consideration by the Chi- cago dopesters as being in the running again. The Tigers played with the same old fighting spirit they had shown through- out the entire season, and it was this alone that gave them the right 'to play in the semi-finals, as the grind of four days, coup- led with the task of playing the hardest game of the first three days, required too much vitality for our Tigers, the smallest team of the thirty-two, axid,it was their grit that carried them through the fourth day. We drew the team representing Pittsfield, Mass., in the first roundg a'team picked to finish third, but which was eliminated by the Tigers 26-20. Another instancei of our disregard for dope. K Bang! Bang! and another team iwent into oblivion at the hands of the Tigers. This time it was Calvert Hall of Balti- more, a team that led us for three quarters of the game and then succumbed to their much smaller opponents by the score of 23- 17. Evans and Koertner played exceptional ball in this conflict. A . i ' V Our n'Dtt opponent was St. Mel of Chi- cago. They were the idols of the windy city: we were the idols of a southern city: they were former National Catholic Champs: we were Catholic Champs. Need- less to say, that this game drew the largest crowd of the tournament outside of the finals. It was, perhaps, the best played game of the entire tourney, both teams play- ing hcads-up basketball, with neither show- ing a weak department, always remaining within one or two points of each other, except for a short time near the end of the game, thus requiring a full forty minutes of intensive playing from every man on the tloor, and when the final bang of the timer's gun was heard, two tired and exhausted teams, we the victors, they the vanquished, wended their way to the showers. It was this hard-fought, 16-xg, victory that took away any chance we had in the semi-finals, but this victory alone was a great tribute to the Tigers. They were the first team that ever won the title and then came back and won a right to play in the semi-finals. In the semi-finals we met the strong, husky, and fast live of Roman Catholic High from Philadelphia, the team picked to win the title. They were a splendid bunch of boys and we are glad, that since we had to come home defeated, that we lost to such a fine type of players. They defeated us 22-16, but the fight that our little band put up againstithgem'wasisthe main cause of their losing ini'-thegfinals, according to the sport writers. t-The finals was the only game this e'asfern team, failed to play up to form, and everyone conceded they were about the best oftfhe tournament, despite their failure to win the title. We met Holy Rosary of Syracuse just one hour and a half after we had gone through the semi-finals, and again we were humbled, not by a better team, but by a team of .greater endurance. VVe set the pace for a large part of the game, but fin- ally sheer' exhaustion dwindled our lead until they finally passed us, and we had to be satisfiediwith fourth place. WVe came home with a few trophies- those we won-but none were given us by a vote of the judges. WVe have our share, for we have more Loyola trophies than any school in the country, but many onlookers failed to see why Dutch Hendricks, the outstanding player of the tournament, was not given some honor. That is the com- ment of others. VVe are satisfied, and will go back next year if our team is invited. Despite the fact that we lost our title, the Tigers were given a warm welcome when they returned from Chicago. It meant more to them than the record-breaking reception of last year, for anyone can stand the ap- plause' of victory, but only a red-blooded warrior can stand up under defeat. One Hundred Four . -.-,, -..l .- Vx, 4 1 L x 1 ,A .-- .a he I The Culbs VVhile the Tigers were going through their strenuous season on the basketball court, there were other quintets defending the Green and Gold on the hardwood floor. One of these was composed entirely from the ranks of the sophomores and played under the name of Cubs. They did not play to packed galleries, but they displayed that wonderful fighting spirit which dis- plays itself very early in a young Tiger's life-they were true to their name. One of the main reasons for the formation of this team is to develop material for the Tiger squad. The presence of Johnny Evans one the regulars this season demonstrates the wisdom of such teams. Besides Johnny there were other former Cubs on the Tiger squad-Vetter, Henchey, Angermeier, and Malone, who broke' into several games. The Cubs went through a strenuous sea- son and, with two exceptions, they emerged victorious in their contests. After the regu- lar season had closed they entered two jun- ior tournaments, and in both of them made a remarkable showing, despite their youth, against age and experience. In the first of these, the Mackin tournament, Stammer- man won the cup awarded to the player who proved the niost valuable to his team. In the C C. C. tournament the Cubs were nosed out in the ,semi-finals by a lone point in the last few seconds of play, but, like all Tiger teams, they took their d.feat in a sportsmanlike way, and for displaying the best type of sportsmanship in the tourney, they were awarded the cup donated for this - purpose. When next season issues its call for can- didates there will be some of this year's Cubs on hand, and it will not be a sur- prise to see a few of them make the squad. The members of the Cubs during the sea- son of 1926427 W:-re as follows: Hanley, Stone, Stammerman, Schuhmann, Moriarity, Perry, Moore, Jordan, Lenihan, Block, Russman, Klapheke. One Hundred Fi-ve Ns. The Kittens This team is composed of boys from the freshman classes, and is the very foundation stone of basketball at St. Xavier. From the Kittens to the Cubsg from the Cubs to the Varsityg then to Chicago. That is the ambition of every boy who enters the freshman class at St. X and has in his makeup some of the e-armarks of a real basketball player. Although every member of the Kitten team is a newcomer at St. X, it seems tradi- tional for them to imbibe the spirit of the Tigers. As members of the parochial school teams their aspirations were to strive and reach the coveted roll of Louisville's famous nationally known quintet-the Tigers. They had seen the Tigers in actiong had mar- veled at their fighting spiritg had made them their idol. Like the normal American youth they tried to imitate their idol, and those who saw them playing know well that Dutch, with his famous pivot and dribble, has imitators of his style among the baby member of the bengal tribe-the Kittens.

Tony, as we all know him, pastimed in football, basketball, baseball and boxing during his regime at St. Xavier, and always made an excellent show- mg. Tony is one of that type who thrives on work and is always found where the battle is waging hottest. He was the galloping ghost in football, and seldom did he fail to gallop when given the ball. Fear has no part in his makeup, and during his three years on the football team he was a rag- ing mass of energy. Besides football, the other sports found him fighting for victory for St. NX. In the national pastime he was a star performer, and has been selected to captain the Green and Gold nine during the presznt season. Needless to say, they will never be beaten until the last man is out in the ninth, with Tony in his fighting array. MANAGER O!HEARN ERR NQNQN The managerial responsibility of our base ball squad rests on the broad shoulders of Tom O'Hearn, and, judging from his good humor and smiling disposition, the burden is not going to cause any grey strands to appear in his subject matter for the tonsorial artist. Tomy is one of those characters who never announces his prtsence by straining his vocal organs, being content to let others sing his praises, but always dependable when duty calls. St. X has no supporter more loyal to its traditions than Tom. VVhile not one of the shining lights on the campus he made the football squad and broke into several games, making his presence known by his lighting disposition, a disposition characteristic of his race. We have been fortunate in the student-man- agers our various teams have had during this past year. All of them have shown a spirit of sacrifice and loyalty to the school and the team they were connected with in a managerial way. One Hundred Seven e Baseball The school year of 1925-26 seemed to be our banner year in the three major sports, for after having the most successful season in football history and winningthe Nation- al Catholic title in basketball, we proved our superiority in baseball by copping the Falls Cities High School League champion- ship- VVhen the call for candidates was sound- ed for baseball practice, all but two, Shaughnessy and Phelan, who were graduat- ed, of the regulars were on hand. Captain -Ryan was shifted from the hot corner to till the shoss left vacant by Phelan behind the plate. jack Smith was moved over to the three quarter station from his posi- tion at short,'while1 Finnegan took up where jack left off in the shortstop's place of action. VVith Butch Ober, undoubtedly the best high' school twirler in Kentucky, on hand to do the twirling, the outlook was very rosy. Ten games were played in the Falls Cities Leagues, and all but two resulted in vic- tories. At the close of the league schedule there existed a tie between St. X and Kentucky Military Institute for the leader- ship. It was necessary to have an extra game to decide the championship, which was played at Lyndon and resulted in an easy victory for the Tigers. LEAGUE GAMES Our two games with New Albany High School resulted in two games being chalked up for us in the won column. The First contest found Ober on the mound for us and his deliveryhwas a puzzle to the Bull- out, and with the I dogs, fourteen of them striking only one being able to connect sphere for a hit.

In the return game, Butch One Hundred Eight Sq t l -, h n 483453. t ' Q has - 4 -I ' H !','fz4-haw set the military boys down with a lone hit and no runs, while our team had a field day at the bat, driving I2 runs across the pan. Our first game with Anchorage proved such a run-away contest that it was called at the end of the fifth inning with the score 15-o in our favor. Ober did not allow a hit in this game, while Finnegan got a home run on his first trip to the plate. In the sccond game we got a good scare and bare- ly won by one run. Helmuller and Murray were on the mound for us. Finnegan con- nected for two circuit blows in this gamc. The score was I0-9. Our two games with Male High gave Us an even break with them. YVe won the first in easy fashion by the score of 13-t, Ober fanning thirteen of the Bulldogs. In the return engagement there was a different tale to tell- Butch two hits, but an error at a -the game allowed one of the winning run, going first to home on the miscue. W with the pellet for six hits to ball game is won by runs, scored us, and the tale is told by a tory against us. Two marvelous Dattilo were the fielding features of game.

I. had the same percentage of victories as we, a play-off was necessary. THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME VVith the Falls Cities title at stake, the Tigers motored to Lyndon to decide who should be the champs, K. M. I. or St. X- After the first inning there seemed to be little doubt about the winner of the title. Butch allowed them one hit, while the Tiger clan found Gardner for a total of fourteen safeties, and scored rr runs. The final count was rr-3 and another champion- ship had come to the Tigers' lair. THE MANUAL GAMES The Manual games attracted wide in- terest, and, although not league contests, there still hovered over the game an at- mosphere of the keen rivalry that has made the games between the Tigers and Crim- A I sons one of the main features of the scholas- tic athletic program. - The first game was played at our field with Murray on the rubber for the Tigers, and Brown of the Crimsons opposing him. Butch was saved for a league contest, and performed in right field for us. Manual found the'offerings of Murray and Hell- mueller, who relieved him, to their liking, and smashed their way to xr-7 victory over our boys. VVith the dust of defeat still smarting them, the Tigers sought revenge, as a Tiger will, and set the scalps of the Crimson warriors as the objective of their desire. Butch led the trail, followed by the Bengals of his tribe, to the very camp of the opposition, Manual stadium. It was more of a slaughter than a ball game, and when the smoke had cleared from the scene of the conflict the deed was told by the count on the Tigers U. OF L.

Schae- fer is not eligible this season. The new material is of such caliber that we antici- pate another championship in the Falls Cities High School League. Tony Dattilo has been selected to lead the Tigers, and if a fighting spirit will turn the trick, he will have it. At this time the lineup is uncertain, but the prospects seem to point that it will be selected from the following: Perry and Bloemer, Catches, Ober, Hayden, Schuh- mann, Wheatley, and Young, Pitchers, O'Hern and Gianini, first base, Hendricks and Stammerman, second baseg Moore, shortstop, Smith, third baseg Captain Datti- lo, Brown, Malone, Regan, and Hanley, out- fielders.

' EARLY 1927 GAMES So far this season we have participated in a few independent games with local teams for the purpose of whipping the team into form and organizing team-work. In' A most of these games three or four twirlers were used, and many changes at other posi- tions were made. The team was finally set for its first setto of the season, the game with the U. of L. This is not what we call a regular scheduled game, but the Cardinals are willing to give us a chance to battle with them, although they are in a circle above us. This game proved to be a thriller with Ober and Hartfield as the opposing twirlers. Butch twirled in' old time form and let the college boys down with a single hit. The plate proved a foreign place for both teams until the last inning when the Tigers managed to push a runner across it for the lone tally of the contest. Butch sin- gled, Occie Stammerman sacrificed him, and Bill Moore came through with a slashing double which scored Butch.,' The team put up a splendid exhibition in this game, and if they continue in this stride another championship Hag should come to the Tigers. In the first league encounter we met the Red Devils of Jeffersonville High. Bob Schuhmann was on the mound for us. Hen- dricks was shifted to shortstop in place of Moore who had an injured foot, with Ober filling Dutch's shoes at firstbase. The Hoosier boys gave us more than we were looking for, and only a late rally changed the tide of victory to the Kentucky side. We were three runs behind in the last frame when Max Brown walked to the plate with the bases jammed with Tigers. He came through in a different way than the famous Casey by driving out a line dou- ble, clearing the paths and tieing the score. In the extra inning the Jelfersonville hurled became wild and lost his game by forcing a St. X man across the rubber. , In the other opening games of the Falls Cities League, Male Hzigh lost to Kentucky Military Institute, while New Albany High downed Anchorage. The outlook for a close race seems to be order. K. M. I. has al- most the same team back in its fold which tied us during the regular season last year, but lost to us in the playoff, and will be a strong contender again this season. Male High always improves as the season grows older. They are our greatest rivals in the league and we are sure to find them a tough proposition. Our team looms up as a very strong de- fensive team, but has shown decided weak- ness on the offense. This department should improve as each game should add something to their batting eye. W'e are not predicting another pennant, but we are willing to wager that the Tigers will put up a terrible scrap bg-fore they see their position occupied by an intruder. x , J One Hundred Ten 'nw l 5 2 I .4 !1 M 'E lax PX 33 ts if F . 3 2 'a 4 1, I 1 I 1 H 6 1 ,3.

I One Hundred Eleven V Track The track team of x927, led by Jimmy Phillips, is composed almost entirely of new material. Losing O'Bryan and Kavanaugh was almost the equivalent of losing a whole track team as these two, couldamass enough points between them to give any school com- petition. Coach Gordon Davis faced a prob- lem with practically no pleasing solution. Despite the youthfulness of the members it has been very encouraging to note the gameness of these kids in opposing sea- soned members of the other teams. In the armory meet, March 26, few points were made by our team, but prospects for the fu- ture seem bright after seeing the freshmen and sophomores in action. Steele, a fresh- man, won his heat in the dash, while others were out of the placing by a -small margin. A relay team composed entirely of under- classmen placed in the medley relay. Wath- en, another freshman, showed up well in sprinting and should developfinto a dash man before he leaves St. NX. Dual meets have been arrangd with -other schools. Our wing-foot representa- tives will also be in the State meet to be held at Georgetown and in the Fall Cities meet in this city. Brother Sylvanus has also ar- ranged for numerous class meets which al- ways attract much interest and create a friendly- rivalry among the classes. Last year St. Xavier held the fu-st paro- chial school-meet ever staged in Louis- ville. There 'were twenty schools entered Many cups were awarded for team supre- macy, while individual winners were given medals. The meet will be arranged again this year and it shoud be a greater success than the first one. The winner of the 1926 meet was St. Patrick's School. The teams scoring points in the meet were as follows. St. Patrick ..................... ...... 3 o St. John .ii. .......... .... x x St. Vincent .......... . .. 9 St. Francis of Assisi . . . . . 8 St. Anthony . .M ....... 8 St. Boniface .. . . . . . 6 Presentation Acad. .. 5 St. Martin ........ .. . 3 St. Elizabeth .. ... 2 One H undred Twelve Tennis The tennis season of 1926 was rather late in getting started, but the boys gave some real exhibitions of tennis once they got going. The team was selected by the tour- nament method in which George Schuh- mann was victorious. The tcam'was com- posed of the outstanding players in the school tournament and included such per- formers as Bud Berkley, George -Schuh- mann, Zeke Zettel, and john and joe Evans. Due to the lateness in getting start- ed only two school matches were played. The University of Louisville Freshman tgam defeated us three to one. Berkley won our only match by defeating Farns- ley, while Owsley and Imorde ofxthe U. of L. defeated Schuhmann and Zettel. These same two Cardinal yearlings defeated Schuhmann and Zettel in the doubles. In our match with the Cardinal Juniors we won easily by the count of 5 matches to o. Spencer, Schuhmann, and Zettel carried off the honors in the singles, while the Evans Brothers, and Schuhmann and Evans won the doubles for us. The prospects for this season are very bright and Manager Henry Asman is ar- ranging several matches with other schools. He has already scheduled with U. of K. Freshman, Male High, K. M. I., and the U. of L. Freshman. The usual procedure of the tournament method will be used to select the members of the team. ' George Schuhmann has been named to lead the Green and Gold team this year and should have the honor of being captain of one of the best teams in the history of the school. This is another sport in which St. X is usually the leader, VVe have seen our boys hold the state title and many of them have won the junior title for state honors. - VVith tennis, track, baseball, and golf all in full swing St. X will surely not be idle during the remainder of the school term. Besides the outside matches there will be class matches in tennis as well as in the other sports. One Ilundred Tlzirlecn Golf During the season of 1926, the feature of the golf season was the St. Xavier cham- pionship. This tournament was contested under the supervision of our athletic direc- tor, Brother Sylvanus, and there were about fifteen entries. The tournament was played over the Cherokee links until the finals was reached. In the Finals, Joe Lally met Spike Clines. This match was over the 36 hole r01ltC, 18 at New Albany and 18 at ,Audul bon, the home courses of the respective con- testants. This was a very thrilling match, and it was only at the thirty-sixth hole that the match was decided in favor of Clines. Lally, who is now performing as profession- al at the New Albany course, is doing well and we all wish him the best of luck. An endeavor was made to arrange match contests with Ivlale and Manual, but with no material success. It is hoped that this sport which is in its infancy at St. 'X, as well as at other schools, will continue to grow. VVe are hoping for some outside competition this season, which, combined with the St. X tourney, 'should make this sea- son a very successful one in this branch of sport.

Appreciation HE 1927 Tiger has come forth from his lair. His ap- pearance is the result of many months of hard work, and we take this occasion to express our appreciation to all who have in any way aided us in making this venture a possibility. In particular do we extend our gratitude to Robert J. Higgins, class of '27, whose untiring efforts made this last section of the book a reality, and to Mr. Walter Hopkins of the Sutcliffe Company who gave us the benefit of his rare ability as a sport photographer. We also wish to commend the establishments herein rep- resented, as worthy of the patronage of our friends, both from a standpoint of reciprocity and in view of the fact that they are the very best firms in the different lines of business. We thank you, one and all.
