But on second thought, are we really happy that all is in the past? We wonder who will be sitting in our old desks . . . We Wonder, if through all the coming years, we will still have a warm spot in our hearts for the gang in the yard, for the Brothers, for the first day of each new year, for the noise in the halls before the first class. Secretly, we would like to stand again in the clark, quiet halls and listen for the foot- steps of the brothers, and the voices of class- rnates, recalling vividly to rnind the swift flashes of high school days rich with excite- ment and color.

The times spent in rushing to the lunch room built many a track star for the team. There were those days spent doing homework in the li- brary. Then they extended the old shed and we had to move over to the other side of the yard. The day we became Sophomores we found ourselves climbing three flights of stairs to make a name for ourselves. The Gymna- sium gradually became more frequented by us. We were choosing courses in this year. We found in this year also that the various activities about the school that formerly had no interest for us were becoming things to try for. As luniors we looked upon the trips to the Mass of the Holy Ghost at the Cathedral marks the Sep- tember return to books and school as the students thronq the church and seek God's blessing on the year's work. Physics Lab as real excursions into the world of science. There was always a certain amount of curiosity about the machines be- hind the glass doors. We got our first trip to the Typing room as Third Year Men, too. lt seemed also that during this year we walked through every hall and up every step in the building. Having completed three years walking up and down steps, we were greatly relieved to get down to the ground. As Seniors we thought we had gone all over the school. But the Chem- istry Lab had yet to be explored. The whole school was now as familiar as our own homes, and you'll find it had the same effect on our lives. Recess period finds the crowd gathering in the yard as f the laughing line-up moves steadily down the steps to Ag Brother Gaudentius' cateteria. where the parade stops at gf the check booth and counter. - -q..,,t WHEHE WE ST IIY, PH These four years have been long. These four years are past. We came into these halls green Freshmen, We leave these halls as Sen- iors. The time that passed was filled with much study, much prayer, and much fun. We often felt at our wits end over some Algebra problem or became confused with a Latin translation but we always had our Faith to fall back on. We got stuck and we prayed: we had the props knocked from under us and we prayed: when We were granted some favor, there was always the quiet refuge of the Chapel. School rallies stirred our hearts with loyalty and pride as we gathered to pay homage to our school and the teams who wore our colors. The old yard, the old gym. the stirring music-they were the dreams of yesteryear. Well we remember the hurried grape-vine whisper. the hopeful wondering of the classes by-passed. the anxious wondering as to features and speakers. Our hearts still thrill to the memories of the beauty of the Victory Song, and the thun- der of her cheers as St. X. went forth to battle with the foe. Il PLAY . .. D GHUW We had our lun too, There were the daily :zussions at lunch periodsg the big little dances in the Gym, the dances at the Madrid. The times when we had Pep rallies before a game with cr city schoolg it was at these games when the :student body rose as one and cheered until every man on the bench would have played a championship game to deserve the support ot The Gang . Prom the time we were Frosh we grew in height, in love for God and love ot Xavier. ln later years we'll remain loyal sons oi our school Saint Xavier High. Even though her hands were often full of cards and papers, Miss Lewis, Brother Climacus' secretary, would never hesi- tate to put them down to look up a record or type out a special bulletin. The loyalty oi the Band has been outstanding in the sports' program. ln victories and defeats, they have encouraged the team. Under Brother Edward Ioseph's enthusiastic guidance and led by colorful Doris lean Gramiq and Bert Clark, the wearers ot the green have written another chap- ter in Band History. 5 t if? 1 Tv' 4 A I ...se-. HERE HE THE l'i IIJES Brother George Francis. Principal. His duties of guiding and directing the manifold activities ol St. X have proven him to be a courageous. in- spiring. religious leader. Brother George is our Principal. To the Saint Xavier stu- dent or alumnus that would be enough. His accomplish- ments are Widely known. Among them are the starting of the Improvement Fund, from which came the proposed Fieldhouse, the renovation ot the school building, and the painting oi the Gymnasium. By Way of this Fund, St. X now has one of the finest Audio-visual studios in the state. Under his energetic leadership, St. X has mounted to new heights oi scholastic progress. A complete Guidance Program has been set up to provide lectures, directors, and movies to assist the boys to rightly discover their place in lite. In Brother George, we have been blessed with a human dynamo. The prominence of Saint Xavier in future years may be credited to our friend, our benefactor, our leader Brother George, C.F.X. Often. as we hurried from class to class. we passed Brother Ill? ll H SIIHUI. STIII DAYS Brother Climacus, Director of Studies. the man of all work. Concerned primarily with teachers. classes, and books. he is responsible for the cur- riculum taught at St. X. Brother Climacus is a familiar figure to all students, We meet him as he goes about his many duties. Iri the office he is the acme of prxtierice. No question or schedule seems to :surprise him. With equal ability he disposes fit tardiriess arid headaches. He is an efiicierit preiert. These were the brothers outstanding in our school days. lt was Brother George who initiated the lecture and educa- tional movie program, which played so large a part in helping us to decide our future careers. The efficient and comfortable assembly floor was built under couldn't be contacted, amazingly omniscient hall and proiection room on the top his direction. When Brother George it was invariably Ed Schneider, his secretary. who took the situation in hand. He seemed to thrive on activity in both offices. He was second assistant to Brother Climacus, director of stud- ies. who divided his time between the office and school. Climacus standing at the crossroads of the main hallway. He was the Brother most closely associated with our school days. x' THOUGHTS ABOUT XAVIER I K -Going to St. X. After taking an l.Q. Test graduation arrived 'inylihlx 'l 'l X' quickly. All summer our thoughts turned toward one objecteXavier. l l I Then our study card arrived announcing a special orientation course for all freshman students of Latin and Algebra. These two weeks were an exciting introduction to St. X. Soon the novelty of the school wore off. Our first pep rally, our first association with the Brothers, were all new experiences because now we were high school students. D. Watziq and F.

Clifton THESE ABE THE TE EHEHS WHU I THU The Brothers that have these young fresh- men for students are, in the opinion of the frosh, the best in the school. Brother Ioachim, who is the homeroom teacher of lC is the guid- ance director for the freshmen. He is a friendly and energetic Brother. Brother Timothy, vet- eran teacher of Freshman Hall, is the energetic leader of hustling lD. His off hours are spent polishing up his Pussycats -X's future harde wood stars. Easy going Brother Donatus, de- lights in German, teaches Latin and Religion to lA, the only freshman class which has the privilege of his presence. He is I.V. baseball coach and an avid sports fan. Brother Evan, dispenser of mathematics to the first year men, frets over their difficulties. This good Brother is the Moderator of the St. X Radio Workship. Brother Fabius, the aquatic booster , is the coach of all Bengals who excel at the water sport. He teaches History, Algebra, and Re- ligion to all who will listen. Brother Austin, a new faculty member here at is a real pal to every student at the Broadway institu- tion. He is always talking to the frosh in the school yard during their lunch period. His German clip is very popular among the stu- BROTHER IOACHIM. C.F.X. Home Room 1C Social Studies BROTHER CONNOR, C.F.X Home Room IB English-Religion BROTHER LEONARD FRANCIS. C.F.X.

Brother Leonard Francis, the school librarian, teaches about everything here at St. X. He is a friend to all boys, save those who fail to return library books when due. Brother Connor came to the Tiger institution after the death of good Brother Athanasius. He has a slight Eastern ac- cent, often saying: Thats fine, Ioe. He loves sports, but says that he has too much work to keep up with them. Brother Sylvan's witti- cisms may be heard in lB during the first pe- riod where he teaches the fundamentals of Latin. Mr. Morris, who also has a slight accent, being a wee bit Southern, is a fine gentleman and scholar as well as an excellent teacher. Mr. lones is a quiet, easy going Freshman Tutor who is quite popular with the first year students. He is backfield football coach here at X and he is now starting his second sea- son. He also is a fine history tutor. All in all, the teachers of the first year boys are a swell bunch of regular Brothers who can understand the problems of a high school boy and help him with them as well as with his school work.

The juniors and Sophomores were also old men. We still had the whole thrill of going to Saint X. We were still enjoying the new methods and new sur- roundings. That first day we had to go to Freshman Hall was the best . . . Remember? . . . We came in that back door.. There were strange faces all around us and we looked upon each one with wonder and possibly a little childish antagonism. We hoped to get to know them. We had already formed opin- ions about some of them. Generally we were wrong and were glad to be proven wrong. The classes i nthe Hall ran from 1G to ll-l. The class sessions were strange to us. We tried to understand why, just when the class got interesting, the Brother would leave. Then we would be confronted with a new personality, a new subject, a new Brother. The subjects were not allowed to run together as they some- times did in Parochial School. lt was also a help to know that if we came up short on the homework we would only be with that Brother for an hour or forty-five minutesg but what hould happen in that hour! Lunch was the crowning point. We were allowed only a half- hour in which to exchange wise remarks and tell the latest jokes. lf we were fortunate enough to be placed in one of the lower-lettered classes then we had to climb three flights of stairs to participate in our daily round of Thiesen and McCoy and Dooge. Most of the boys who trotted the sev- enty odd steps were found to be in the first string line-up on the l.V. football and basketball toarns. lt's a wonderful body conditioner, climb- ing those steps. The portable was the real cen- tor of activity, any activity of man or nature. When the weather decided to take a dip to- wards zero, the Doghouse seemed to be the cfoldest part of the ampus. Then the boys in iff flew by the doghouse, But Freshmen have the rnost fun of anybody, because they're new and they know it and try to make the most of ii. Wpell, it's overp rny first year at St. X. Whale over happens to ine during the rest of my years here at X rriay be more exciting and more enjoyable, but l'll never forget my Freshman year in the Doghouse. Everyone who has had any connection with the school will know what the Doghouse is. lt holds two frosh classes, usually lA and lB. Students tell scores of storys and tales about the irnmortal institution. 'l'hey say the ink freezes on the cold days and that every tiny breeze shakes its walls. lfvory day at approximately the same time, the heaters spray hot water over the whole roorn. These tales may be hard to believe, but They aro actually true. Even though the Dog- house has its faults, every fellow who has spent a year in it can look back on a group of fun- loving boys having a wonderful time. The well used books and equipment ol the Freshman Year were lamlllar to us all, for we all saw the light ol Xavier over these Gateways to Knowledge . The Frosh members of the Camera Club are. backrow. S. Harp. I. Yann, R. Baumqartel. I. Voor, front row. E. Miller, D. Coen. I. Gerry. and R. Neel. The members ol the Xavler News Stall lrom the Freshman Class are I. Allen. T. Mahoney, T. Schoen, A. Cassidy, and D. Baird. Suspense! The boys from IH are deeply engrossed in the mystery ol the disappearance ol Smoe. HEHE WE PH YEIJ, ST DIED AND PL YEIJ The Freshman of l947 will pass on into the other three classes: they will meet new class- mates, new Brothers, and run into new people and personalities. But as it is said, first im- pressions are strongest . Those hours and minutes that we spent as Freshmen will live on and be retold many times, as Alumni of Saint Xavier meet and reflect on the times spent as students at the crowning glory of St X, Freshman Hall! New faces will take our places next year in the old classes, but for all of us the Freshman Year of l946-47 will hold many happy memories. The subiect ot this picture will be known only to those in it. The obiect that has the interest ot the Frosh in the picture is being enioyed by them. as only Frosh can enioy something. So, trozen here tor posterity are a few ot the treshmen of St. X in 1947. The Freshman year sped by very fast. At the time we had no conception that we would someday look back and think of that year going fast . The first day we entered Fresh- man Hall, or the Doghouse, we saw a future of hard work, of wasted time, and of great things when we became Seniors. Now we can These freshmen are working at homework as only Frosh who have loads of it, do. They aren't really worried about the amount they have, tor haven't you heard that only geniuses are allowed into St. X. look back and think of the things we should have done. We wish, and at the time we did our best, that we could do it over again and really burn ourselves out on our studies, or possibly go out for more sports sooner, or try to impress others that we knew more than we let on.

HEHE ABE THE SEE E5 fl I1 PLACES First year days flew by in a brace of new living as high school days found us ready to adopt ourselves to the increased tempo of school life. Activities seem to fill the air at St. X as study was the accepted fashion of the day. Anxiously we checked the honor rollg eagerly we looked for holidays. Our friendships grew as other parishes became familiar to us. We watched thrillingly the Tiger tearns do loattle on the sports field, as we grew hoarse with cheering. We were growing up with school and having a glorious tirne. School's out! School's out! C'mon men. let's not pout! Freshmen after a busy day of problems, sentences, and discipline give vent to their pent up energies in a mad rush to leave the school grounds. So, if you should happen to pass by Freshman Hall shortly be- fore 2.30 p.m., watch out! The change between classes comes as a much needed rest for the boys in Freshman Hall. An hour oi algebra, Latin or sci- ence is enough for any Freshman. The boys in the next class had a tes in Latin. and now there is a chance to find out the more difficult questions. li there is enough time, you will check your book to iind out the answers. too. and hope that your test is the same one!

These spirited salesmen easily lead the rest of the school, and upheld the treshman tradition ot selling the most chances. The next three years look very bright for the Champion- ship Swimming team.

Boniface gave out a jug ticket in study period, or one of his History classes. Maybe that's why Bro. Boniface was one of the best liked of the Sophomore faculty. Most of Bro. Lionel's time was taken up by C.S.M.C. and Vocation work. His English classes rippled with laughter. It's good the boys laughed at his jokes, for he hardly ever did himself! And how many of the fellows were amused by Bro. Casimir's singing? fMany of his classes were especially the boys of ZC? ln Bro. Ger- ald's classes the Dodgers' fame was a sacred theme as his homeroom 2l would testify. The quaint humor of Bro. Sylvan interested the boys in ZF. Although he has said sending boys to jug was his hobby, you may be assured by Bro. Phillip's homeroom ZD, that he was one of the best brothers at St. X. Bro. Paulus, math genius, really rated with the Sophomores. just ask ZB. Bro. Bellarmine and Bro. Roy Worked desperately to direct the safe dissection of vari- ous and sundry animals. Bro.

The lay teachers, Mr. Ambro, Mr. Ccoachl Hagan, that southern gentleman, M11 Morris, and Mr. Beeler taught classes in History and English. St. Patricks day was an important day for Bro. Majella.

We studied and looked ahead to the day when we would graduate. Starting the day with enthusiasm we settled back after lunch and looked iorward to the final bell. We struggled in study period to get our homework. ln English, Religion, and History there were always assignments. Then we worried at home about the big test we had coming up. Everyone had to have that last look at the book. We hoped we wouldn't for- get and proceeded, sometimes a bit nervously, to put our knowledge on paper. Probably the hardest subject for some was Latin. l'rn not taking Latin next year , many would say. Some dropped Latin after the Fresh- man year and took Biology.

We always had some Brother or lay teacher that we regarded more than others. We reinem' bered their characteristic actions. Like Mr. Amloro. His policy ot sending boys to jug was like a quotation from Holy Scripture. Many are called but tew are chosen. We worked and sometimes played, hut we enjoyed every moment of it. The best place to find information about dances and socials about the city is to watch the bulletin in the main hall.

As our Sophomore year progresses and finally passes by there will always be some memories that we associate with the year. Memories of the pep-rallies which gave us a chance to back the team and also caused those oh so delightful short periods . . . memories of the mission meetings and the instruction we gained from them . . . Rushing for the lunch- room at ll:45. And memory of being caught by Bro. Majella trying to sneak into the lunch line. Delightful memories of good grades . . sorrowful memories of those bad marks . . . Most of us remember how glad we were to get out of school for a holiday. Though no one Brother Elroy is giving Bob Hornek and Bob Crawford a complete resume of last night's game, and just how the Iayvees happened to win over very tough opposition, and other overwhelming odds. would admit it we were glad to get back and see our friends . . . memory of the thrill we re- ceived seeing our name in the school paper . . . And wow! some of those jokes in class, then smiles turning to frowns when little yellow tickets were handed out . . . memory of that first date taken to a mission dance . . . The athlete's thrill of getting a letter for IV or Varsity com- petition. Boy were we proud when we showed that letter to our girl . . . And finally the memory of the guidance and knowledge received from teh faculty . . . the Brothers and lay teachers. They were the ones whom we remembered most in this our second year of high school life.

After school, we looked forward to the biq qame that was comf ina up. Dressed up in our qreen sweater we picked up our airl and yelled until we couldn't say another word. This spirit did not ao in vain, for the Green 6. Gold has been praised many times for its undying spirit. These were our daily experiences in our second year. After school some of us worked at a job, others took it easy or participated in extra curricular activi- ties at school. Unforgettable memories which will always live in our minds! ls Richard there?

Still we realized that we were dependent on God and did not neglect to ask his blessing on the year and on our efforts. Our Alma Mater stood serenely and heningly on duty and received us with the air of an old and dear friend, happy to see our return.

WE IJEFI Beneath the smiling exterior of our teachers we soon noticed the determination which they possessed to teach us and help us learn our subjects, Our Brothers, as we had seen before, and as we are seeing again, were interested in us, our plans, hopes, and problems. They worked with us and shared our ups and downs: for theirs was the sincere desire to aid us in our preparation to face life. The classroom, we saw, was the same as always with the rigid rows of desks standing like soldiers on review: but not for long. The quiet calm of the room was soon broken by the tread of our feet and the sound of our voices Iunior Year was not complete without the proverbial T-square and blueprint cradled iauntily in the crook of the arm as the boys boarded the bus for school.

Perhaps the ones in front with a good View, but more prob- ably the secluded seats in the back where we could rest in peace through the most rigorous class session. Too, we tried to seat ourselves near our friends and formed blocs of united action in various parts of the room. We were prepared! On that first day of the lunior year we saw around us in the classroom all the friends we had had the two years before, some of whom we had not seen all summer. We made up for lost time though and soon were back on our old footing of comradeship. Bro. Elroy and his 3B Physics class exploring the mysteries of light and electricity. Daily strange sounds can be heard issuing from the 'Lab'. As to what these sounds are we cannot testify. Any similarity between these boys and the future scientists is not coincidental. English, religion, notebooks, paper, pencils, hats. pins, T-squares, drawing instruments-these are the tools of our trade. Very often this equipment is seen at school when it should be in use at home. Iames Watkins at the M.D. board. 5 . I .n .l V5 if ' ew f lk as KM 'Sf K 5 v W 4 I ' - xx. I !.

Some ot us having a mechanical or scientific bent, studied in the scientific course. Others ot our year embraced the classics, especially Latin, in the classical studies, and still others decided on the business or commercial course. The high points ot the scientific course were our iiew studies of physics and mechanical draw- ing. ln physics we were ably tutored by Brother Efroy-e!'let's rough this problem up a bit , and Brother Wilbert, We advanced through the in- tricacies ot mechanical drawing-v4l-l pencils and ink--fwith the help of Brother Medard. ln the classical course we bravely embarked on third year Latin and Cicero's orations under Mr. Ambro and learned more about the lan- guage ot ancient Rome. We began our first courses oi French that year taught by Brother Sylvan and Brother Urban Francis and had the usual trouble with nasal French pronunciation fespecially with a cold a la tete. Pounding typewriter keys beat the tempo tor the commer- cial course where Brother Eugene taught us the involved process ot bookkeeping and Brother Stephen expounded the principles oi English, We auite often tangled our hands in the mazes ot shorthand.

The bright sunlight shining ACTIVITIES AND EL HS FIJUN We were very sorry to see the end of our lunior year, for we had many enjoyable times thereg but its purpose had been accomplished. We had added another support to the firm groundwork for our underclass days. We were prepared for our final Senior year when all that we had learned previously would be capped by the summit of our coming final year. We had long looked wistfully at this, the ambition of our class since Freshman days and now it was within our reach. We were going to be Seniors. ln the Senior year different ones of us looked to different points of glory. First of course was the year of studies itself and the new adventures in store in the classroom. The increased social position, too, was an important consideration to look forward and note. We would be big wheels at the hub of the school entitled to respect. We would have graduation rings which are a boon to prestige. But for all our high hopes we remembered that our achievements were through the help of God and we did not slacken our devotion to him. LUUHI G AHEAD TU The chiol highlight ot our entire lunior year waz: our participation and eager interest in sport:-s. We who had athletic ability played to tho best ol our ability in our particular sport, and the rest oi tis supplied loyal backing at pfrpmllios and in the stands at the playing lifgld. Dances and parties presented by the SE IUH DAYS various clubs at St. Xavier provided ainple opf portunity for us to gather in social companion- ship with the rest ot the gang, and to have all the lun needed to prove the old C?l adage, Some work and some play rnake St. Xavier a fine place to stay.

Since its founding, in l745, by Theodore Iames Ryken, the Congregation of Saint Francis Xavier has been one of the main cogs in the Catholic sysf tem to educate its young. The Brothers were one of the pioneering orders in America to erect and teach in schools. They came to the Novitiate as boys and were sent into their numerous and various fields as men, Men of Letters and Men of God. In our short daily con- tact with them, we often underestimate the full value of their influence. Under their firm hands, we grew in both the knowledge that will benefit us in later life and the knowledge that will bring us to the Hereafter. As the years pass on, we will probably visit the old Alma Mater and walk again with those Brothers who taught us and have long since traveled along the road of those who seek their God.

Don't fret, that's life. Our life here at Saint Xavier has been moulded, guided, and enhanced by our contact with the Brothers. The success of those graduating in the future may be laid to the example, the training and the prayers of our Friends, our Teachers, the Brothers of Saint Francis Xavier. The daily classes in Trigonometry and Alge- bra were examples precise in extremes. Part of the class was far enough ahead to match the exploits of the adventurers, Archimedes and Pythagorus. The other two thirds were causing the good Brother to throw up his hands in disgust. We already had one year of jour- nal sheets and debits, we thought we knew what was necessary, but Brother Eugene showed us that We had just scratched the sur- face. There was just a little l'?l bit more to dis- cover about shorthand.

No matter what course we studied, Classical, Scientific, or Business, when we tried we found we were able to learn, sometimes. The time we spent in reviewing and recheck- ing our studies will be rewarded by the accom- plishments we will be able to attain in later life. The full weight of the effectual teaching and infinite patience of the Brothers will be felt in like manner. So as you move on through the Straits of Life, think back to the days when you were in high school and be reason- able with those who are following in your foot- steps. They too are going through the same things that you did. Come in tomorrow prepared to do the ex- periments on Chapter 22. To those of us who studied the mysteries of chemical reactions, these words of Brother lames came to us as a foreboding of the weekly periods in the Chem- istry Laboratory.

The first day we were given part- ners: as time passed we began to look on these fellows as brothers who aided and abetted us as we trod the Highroads of Paraclusus and Berzilus. Those accepted reports were like words from Heaven. The rejected manu- scripts were like last wills. But when We grad- uated from Brother lames Chemistry Class we knew Chemistry. The first day of school left us aghast. The building we had known for three years had changed!! Drastically! The halls were bright and the rooms were more pleasant. There was more than a material change in the school, there was a change in us. We were Seniors. We were still speculating about why Male wouldn't try the Tigers in football.

Credits and gradu- ation dominate the minds of all as they await reports. A new scene at the fall football games was the appearance of Ursuline's Doris Gramiq. a State Champion Maiorette. at the side of our own versatile Drum Maior, Bert Clark. This was the first time in school history that a girl has led a St. X Band. The new idea seemed to be popular both with the students and the fans. We've stepped off many miles during our short stay at ll8 West Broadway. That first trip down the Main hall was one of awe for some. At first glance, the wellworn steps of ll8 West Broadway tell no story, but after we be- come one of the many who have walked her halls and stairs and paced her ways we ap- preciate all the years that she has weathered. The front is seldom used by the underclassmen. That unsung privilege is laid at the feet of the Seniors on the first day of every schoolyear. Remember that day . . . We might have had business at any other place in the building but we went out of our way to use the front steps. There was something encouraging about being able to walk up the front steps a Senior. Then we toured the building. We Wended our way down the hall to Brother Climacus' Office occa' sionally stopping to admire some alumnus of days gone by. The daily visit to the Chapel came next. That first day there was a special significance to that first one, it was a Prep for the coming year. The next step was to drift out to View the improvements. The new fire escape amazed us. We needed lunch checks too. We walked back to the yard with no spe- cial purpose other than to see if it changed.

My time is almost upl . . . There are an awful lot of people here. There's Bill and lim . . . Wonder if l'll ever see them after tonight . . . Well l'm next . . . Here goes . . . Remember that First day? Let's see it was September 8, 1943. The whole system was new. The Brothers, the method of teach- ing and the school. lt was Bob Schuhman's first year as foot- ball coach. He had lim Welsh for an assistant. Iohnny Knopf was basketball captain. Brother Virgil died that year. Brother Florian and Don Birchler handled the Annual. Brother Thomas More and Iohn Willenbrink edited the Xavier News. The Fresh- man Class of 1944 went through their first pep rallies . . . The war was still in progress. Most of the Senior Class were taking the accelerated course and going into the service. Brother Servanus was Athletic Director. The work on the new Athletic Office had begun. The Dra- matic Club put on The Oueen's Husband . Oakley Brown was signed as Basketball Coach. Charles Arbegust was Vale- dictorian and Norbert Deddens was Salutatorian. Brother Noel was Principal. Brother Adalbert was Prefect of Studies. The summer crept slowly on us. We went through the usual period of spring fever and then we were out. The trials and tribula- tions of coming to school each day were gone: for three months we would be free of homework and books. Then Sophomores. We come back on a lovely autumn day. The three flights of stairs became our highway to knowledge. For many it was the first time in a laboratory. Remember Biology? Brother George Francis replaced Brother Noel as Principal. The stu- dent body was at its largest, 1270 Students. Bob Schuhman was football coach. Teddy Duerr was Head Cheerleader. Mr. Brown, Mr. Bates and Mr. Ienkins were the lay teachers. The Fall Festival was bigger than ever. Brother Climacus became Prefect of Studies. Brother Thomas More and Vince Zeigler monited the Xavier News. Bill lacob and Brother Florian aided the Senior Class in publishing the Yearbook. Oakley Brown sent out the first call for a Basketball Team. Don Scully was Captain of the basketball team. Brother Dominic was A.D. The Band put on the second Minstrel. Mr. Bates coached the I.V.'s. The Improvement Fund was organized under the direc- tion of Mr. Kelly, Mr. Engler and Brother George. The Baseball team walked off with the State Championship. The last pep rally was held, Brother George gave his farewell talk, Brother Climacus made his last classroom visit, the end was near. We took the finals and then we were released. Summer and vaca- tion came. Then we were Iuniors. We could just barely see the goal. Our Senior year was nearing. Bob Schuhman coached the Football team. Bill Ogburn was Captain. Brother Thomas More took over the post of Athletic Director. Brother Donatus was assigned as Business Manager. Brother Medard and Eddie Danhauer took over the Xavier News. Bill Dicken and Brother 62 CLASS UF 1947 Urban Francis published the 1946 Tiger. The Fall Festival was in the interest of the Improvement Fund. Oakley Brown coached his last team at St. X. Bob Windhorst was captain of the basketball team. Brother Nelson coached the I.V.'s. Ray Baer was signed as Football Coach. Male would not settle on a date to play us: the game was dropped. The Improvement Fund edition of the News was published. The ground was broken for a new fieldhouse. Brother Boniface and the C.S.lvf.C. celebrated their Silver Iubilees. William Porter was Salutator- ian and Iohn Anderson was Valedictorian. The school organ- ized its first swimming team. The Tiger Boosters held a Homecoming Dance. The first Variety Show was a great success. The first effects of the Improvement Fund were seen: a much needed renovation of the Building was begun. We felt the oncoming weight of new Seniors. We were going to take over when we came back. We came back to Sain Xavier, men. Brother Athansius passed on. Our Senior Class had really thinned but we were Seniors. We could handle the new responsibilities. Ray Baer wound up his season with a record of one win to eight losses. But the boys will do better next year. The Broadway Broadcast made its first appearance. The Tiger Boosters come to the fore as a group with real school spirit. The lay teachers were Mr. Hagan, Mr. Ambro, Mr. Iones and Mr. Beeler. The new Vocational Guidance room became the center of activity. The Improvement Fund was really swinging into action. The Gym was painted. The Little Theater was one of the finest Audio-Visual Studios in the state. The PEP club started the ball rolling with a Football Hop . The new health program let you see into your innerself. Leo Burly Banet and Charles Chuck Cassin were elected football Co-Captians. George Silliman was Basketball captain. 'Edward Scharre and Brother Urban Francis took over the l947 Spirit of the Tiqer . Iames Coleman and Brother Medard handled the Xavier News. The Tiger became an All-School Yearbook. Iohn Uhl cap- tained the champinonship Swimming Team, masterminded by Brother Fabius. Coach Red Hagan finished the regular sea- son with record of eleven wins and fifteen losses. The team tromped Manual 68 to 35, in the first round of the regional then went on to lose to Male, 38 to 35. The whole Senior class came across magnificently in the Lenten Drive. Iunie Iones took command of the Track team. Iim Hen- nessy was Tennis captain. The l947 Spirit of the Tiger ar- rived. Its reception by the Student Body was astounding. Plans for college were nearly completed. The night for Commence- ment Exercises were set for the Sixth of Iune. We hopefully looked forward to it: the suspense was frightening. The last few days are upon us. We begin to reminisce. We think about old friends and classmates. But all is lost in the melee before we make that last walk as Students of Saint Xavier. ' 63 As we recall with ioy the seniors who starred ln our final year of school. we remember most. Herman Zimmermann. an earnest student, George Silliman, stellar sports figure. and Dave Finch. spirited Tiger cheerleader. . 5. N G ADRIO, CLARENCE . . , St. Elizabeth . . . Commercial course. . .

Everyone can have fun and a good time at the Festival. For those who shun the noise and turmoil ot the gym, there are the bingo games in Freshman Hall.

Of these forty fellows, there are writers, photographers, and Cartoonists, whose combined efforts go into the production of the Xavier News. Most of this work is done outside of school time.

First of all, the writers must dig up news that will be of interest to the students. A list of subjects and news items is made, and assignments are given to reporters. Each reporter must formulate his own ideas to use in his story, or his own style of writing to use in a news item. Each assign- ment, when completed, must be revised and re-written by the reporter. The finished product is then placed on the adviser's desk and again faces revision by him. If approved, the article next is reduced to the size needed and it is sent to the printer. It's no easy iob to be a good re- porter as you may well realize by this time, but, with all their work, the staff members ob- tain real satisfaction from seeing their own work in print. This is the same kind of pride that a football player feels when he makes the first team. ln a sense it's the same situation, since both groups represent the schoool and their efforts: sports, physically: the school paper, mentally. School newspapers provide worthwhile opportunities for student self expres- sion. Under the expeditious leadership of Iames Cole- man, the Xaver News made extensive progress. He was never to be found without helpful advice or suggestions. This is the same fellow whose salient editorials on the second page were such an important factor in retaining the students' interest in the paper. Iim's iob, although diffi- cult. was considerably eased by the faculty ad- viser. Brother Medard. Brother has given many hours to the task of getting the News out on time. His constructive criticism of the writer's work has made for a better Xavier News.

I-laven't you ever heard ot a darkroom? This familiar shout could be heard every afternoon echoing through the lower halls of St. X. When it was heard, every- one knew that the Camera Club was, once again, in its darkroom cubbyhole . Ace phof tographer, Ioe Sabel, when not busy picture reporting for the Xavier News and Tiger Year- liook, turned his abilities to the direction ot :nomo 30 odd llashfbulb artists and darkroom habituees. Coached by Bro. losephus, Camera Club mentor, he safely guided the shutter bugs through the intricacies ot flash bulb re- porting. Daily the artists could be seen at all zzport events getting pictures. At the X dances and pop rallies you could see the lensmen liusy at their trade. Sometimes, much to the tnrrc:hor's consternation, they could be seen popping up in class to get novel shots. Some ot thr- boys entered a photo contest last year and were constantly disrupting the classes' fxciriilibriiirri to get pics . The prizes for the riontost, tho long green stutt with the shirt future, was woll worth trying tor. Good luck on your znnapping, gang. LEADERS OF TOMORROW Tuesday evening! WINN on the air! Time to listen to the Leaders ot Tomorrow program, sponsored by a local concern, to bring to radio audiences the leading students of the high schools ot Louisville. The students were selected in a prefbroadcast audition to win their places on the program. As might be ex- pected, St. X had more than its share ot repre- sentatives, one oi whom suggested that atomic bombs be turned loose on everyone, as long as he wasn't around. Our St. X representatives included students from all classes, Freshmen to Seniors, though Seniors predorninated. The in- terviews covered a wide range of topics, humor' ous and serious, current events, hobbies, inter- ests and ambitions.

Soon after the opening of school this thought was running through Brother Boniface's mind. When this thought materialized, St. X had a top-flight Debating Team. The objective of training boys to speak in public is being well attained in the exercises at St. X, several of the boys having participated in debates around the city and emceed pep rallies. The members are: Warren Willen and Thomas Casper, the affirmative, and Frederick Schmidt and lames Sheehy, negative. Radio caught the St. X students' interest first in February, l945. That's when the St. Xavier radio program Hi-Time was organized. The program, produced on Station WGBC, was first under the direction of Brother Urban Francis, who did a splendid job of arranging the first series of programs. Brother Evan took over the reins early in 1946. The purpose of the pro- gram is to stimulate an interest in announcing, script writing, and radio Work in general. Workshop members have received additional experience by appearing on other programs in this area. its HLLEIJ UUH AFTER-SEHUUL HIJ HS The Pop Club members who sponsored social activities about the school, are shown in the only photo ot them in a ltatlonary position.

Included in a typical l-li-Time program are an editorial, special feature, sports news, music by the St. X band, orchestra, or by a soloist, humor, Lena the Hyenau, and announcements ot general interest concerning St. X. Aspiring announcers on the monthly program are Iames Conn, Bert Clark, and Herman Zimmerman. Future hopes ot the Workshop are centered on plans tor a thirty minute show in conjunction with Presentation Academy, and the awarding ot prizes for work done. THE PEP CLUB Going to the dance Friday? Wherever seniors met, this question invariably was asked. You knew by this question, that the PEP Club was once again in action. The club was especially well known by all St. X stu- dents and many oi the academy girls because of the popular dances and social activities they sponsored throughout the year. We oiier Bro.

Zinner The school and all the students have always been proud of the band and in the past four years, at least, they have had a very good rea- son to be proud. Three years ago the proceeds from the annual concert and rninstrel enabled the band to purchase new uniforms and ever since then the X band has really been a won- derful sight to see, and even better to hear. Much of the success of the St. X Band is due to the untiring work of Band Director, Brother Edward Ioseph, who has worked constantly to perfect the boys in their particular musical fields. He has been greatly abetted in his work through the aid of his confreres of the Band Parents' Club. The band has not reached its present height easily. At precisely eight o'clock each morning the band meets in the Gym for either rehearsal or marching practice depend- ing on what sport season is on. Football sea- son means marching and basketball season means practice. Some of the members of the band have been serving for four years. To most people this means an easy way to earn a letter but to a band boy it means quite a bit more. Each day that a band boy has a study period he goes to the gym to practice during that period. This past year Brother Edward loseph, the music teacher, started a class on music theory which was anything but a snap. Then there is the inevitable getting up at six thirty or seven o'clock in order to get to school at eight for practice. This past year the band added a new and colorful feature. Doris lean Gramig of Ursuline Academy was one drum majorette who ioined the band throughout the football season. There was only one out of town trip for the band this year and that was to Cincinnati, Ohio. The team lost the game that day but the band certainly did make the school proud. The Minstrel Show was switched to a Variety Show and although the audience wasn't as large, it was just as receptive and the show was much more entertaining.. 3 THESE WERE I1 H Every year for the past few years, Brother Edward loseph has been successful in turning out a first-class high school orchestra. ln this year's group he seems to have outdone him- self. Seldom has a high school orchestra had more professional timbre and technique, or been so much in demand by outside groups for dances and entertainments. Nine seniors, four juniors, and four sophomores make up the V HIETY SHIJWSH group. These talented underclassrnen promise to continue the excellent work of this year's seniors. Starring in this smooth orchestra, the Toast of the Academies, were the following: Paul Cusick, Ray Lechleiter, and Carl Raible, the sweetest and hottest trumpet trio in the city, Skip Kiesler, a talented skin beater, with a flair for jump , and Paul Aulbach, piano vir- tuoso, whose repertoire ranges from classic Bach to syncopated Boogie. Besides playing at the regular school dances, here at the school and elsewhere, the school orchestra has played successfully at many public affairs for various clubs throughout the city, where they have been well received, as evidenced by return engagements. A good number of the boys intend to take up music as a career, and from all indications, Louisville will not suffer from a lack of first-class orches- tras during the coming years. The highest form of praise that a St. X orchestra could achieve was accorded our boys, when they were asked to play for a school dance at Flaget High. The Christmas Dance at Presentation was also a 96 scene of their triumphant appearances. The Football Hop in the gym, and the CSMC Dance also had the St. X Orchestra to provide the rhythm. The Louisville Boat Club was another scene of their activities. ln all of these dances, they received the ac- claim usually reserved for name bands, when they visit the city. Holding down the trumpet and tram section of this groovey group were: P. Cusick, R. Lechleiter, C. Raible, E. Best, A. Sandfort, N. Stein, and P. Yanutola. The sax section was: B. Clark, I. Lubbers, R. McKenna, G. Lubbers, B. Besten, P. Lipps, and G. Krimple. The rhythm section consisted of P. Aulbach, B. Goodman, I. Pfiefer, and H. Keisler. tVIll!iIlI STEHS ll ll STABS Thi' Band war. an parade in a larae scale tln:1yf'arf1ltli1iMririi1iIialAllditofiurn.

Callay. to be sure-tire entertainment in a medley ot popular songs. Bert Clark, St. X's tap dancer supreme brought down the house with his song and dance to Iust a Little Fond Affection . Bert has proved to be one oi the most talented boys in St. X. rating as tops as a tap dancer, singer, and as a saxaphonist in the band. He has appeared on the stage in Radio City, New York. A group ol sophomores look over the Vocation Display in the Guidance Room during Vocation Week. Brother Urban Francis and Brother Boniiace are on hand to answer questions and to explain the various exhibits ol the work of the Xaverian Brothers around the world. Most of the lads were really surprised to learn the scope and the extent oi the Brothers' work throughout the world. The exhibit was visited by hundreds ol priests, sisters, and students. Much of the work was the handiwork ot the students themselves. HERE I3 Ill!-INIIE Z-I ll I SPIH TII1 RELIGIOUS VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE Under the capable direction of Brothers Con- nor, Lionel, and Urban Francis, a religious vo- cation department was set up this year. The need for such a department was shown by a survey which revealed that a surprisingly large number of students desired information on re- ligious vocations. A high-light of the activities of this depart- ment Was a conference of city vocational direc- tors held in the assembly hall in February. ln conjunction with this conference, Brother Con- nor arranged an extensive poster display in the Guidance Boom with the help of some of the Students. lt is hoped and believed that the efforts of Brother Connor with the Freshmen, Brother Lionel with the Sophomores and luniors and Brother Urban Francis with the Seniors will re- sult in increased numbers of vocations to the religious fields from among the students of St. X. Brother Evan, Guidance Director. runs over some material on college courses with Bob Mullane, senior. Brother was kept busy answering questions on various vocations and careers offering promising opportunities today. GENERAL VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE With the realization that studying is of little value to one who doesn't know what he Wants to do in life, Brother George Francis established a Guidance Department this year. Books and pamphlets on occupations were made avail- able. Brothers loachim, Evan and Rudolph and Mr. Frank Engler were the directing forces behind the program. Beside the individual at- tention given boys who asked it, a lecture pro- gram was arranged for the Seniors. Prominent speakers representing numerous occupations addressed them each Week. Films accom- panied some of the speeches while at other times, the program consisted entirely of movies. The program was drawn up with great care. Specialized fields in which only a few would be interested were set aside in favor of more general ones which claimed the interest of the greater number of students. Father More, popular curate. discusses the problems ol marriage with the seniors in a gathering in the Assembly Hall. Father was one of the many speakers who addressed the seniors on pertinent subjects during the past year. ln the basement ol Crusade Castle, Cincinnati, a group oi the St. X Unit oi CSMC, listen attentively to Father F. Evans, as he explains the workmanship oi a valuable antique chalice he was given, when he was a chaplain in the Philippines during the war. Happy couples waltzing merrily to the melodies of the St. X Orchestra in the gym-that's also a part of the Cath- olic Action of the CSMC. This is only one of the many and varied activities of the St. X Unit. E LIEHTE Ell AND STIHHED S TU IITIIJ Under the leadership of energetic officers such as: Don Erwin, President: Dick Perkins, V. President, Frank Mitchell and Bob Wilbert, Treasurer, and guided by indetatigable Bro. Lionel, Faculty Moderator, the Crusade initi- ated and carried forward a program that has made the entire student body Mission minded. Far back in September, the classes of St. X had no sooner become alive once more with stu- dents, then the Crusaders were hard at work with a business enthusiasm enrolling members. The final poll revealed more than 400 student mis- sioners readying for the call to prayer, study, and sacrifice. The mission march was on! The officers organized the monthly programs, as Bro. Lionel contacted veterans of the mission fields for first hand facts of the Church at work. Months rushed by and the parade of speakers continued. Then in Ianuary, the rush of activity paused briefly, as Crusaders and their dates gathered in the Continental Ball Room of the Henry Clay Hotel to dance and dream to the soft strains of Ioe Brian's music. The pleasant hours and wonderful memories changed. The activity took up again. Throughout the classes, oratorical Sectionals were held early in Feb- ruary. Elementations were swift. On Wednes- day, February 12th, at 8:15, the finals for the Oratorical Contests were held in conjunction with the PTA. with Phil Rogge, 4A, the winner earning the right to represent St. X in the city- wide Oratorical Contest at the May Rally. The tempo of activity was still strong in March as the total of the Lenten drive pyramided to the 352,000 goal. School was closing fast as we looked ahead to the final chapter in the Cru- sade Yeare-The May Rally. The enterprising oiticers ot the CSMC Unit here at St. X pose ior this picture in the CSMC room on the second floor. From this room came the plans and ideas which characterized this live-wire unit in the city of Louisville. From let! to right are: Don Erwin, Bob Wilbert, Ierry Brenzel, Foster Parker. Iimmy Conn. Dick Perkins, and Frank Mitchell. This group oi seniors was very active in all school activities, the band, sports, the school paper, public speaking, among their many CSMC duties. SEQ, THE FUUTB LL Considered from most any angle, standing, prone, or otherwise, the l946 football season couldn't possibly be called successful, for when the smoke of battle had cleared away, Xavier fol- lowers picked up their soiled record book, and found that the Tigers had finished with a spotty record of l win and 8 losses. However the record book failed to show the innumerable ob- stacles that the disciples of the green and gold had to overcome. Each time the Bengals took to the gridiron, the age old story of David and Goliath was enacted before the eyes of the anxious Xavier rooters, as the Davids of St. X averaging l6 years of age, tried vainly to conquer their older Go- liath opposition. Though the team failed to annex victories on the playing field, the moral wins were many. Be- member that Manual game in which the diminutive Tigers fought and held on, When there was nothing left with- in them except the will that said to them, Hold on . lt was a long hard battle in this their first round for ath- letic supremacy, but their efforts have not been in vain, for, the names of the boys will remain fixed in the glori- ous annals of St. Xavier football his- tory forever. St. X 20 Ioliet 6-Starting off in high gear the Tigers under their new coach Bay Baer rolled to an impressive 20 to 6 win over loliet High School. Bright prospects were found in backs Eimer and Bidwell, and linemen O'Brien, Cas- sin and Perkins. Scoring immediately after the kick off, the Tigers were never pressed hard by Ioliet. The offensive and defensive play of St. X was too much for the loliet eleven to crack. The following week Coach Baer started ironing out the mistakes in preparation for the initial game of the new St. X- Flaget rivalry. Sf. X 12 Flaget 13- Looking ragged until midway in the third quarter, the Tigers dropped a close 13-12 decision to our new rival Flaget. Overcoming a freak Flaget Senior letiermen who completed their final season on the gridiron were Co-captains, C. Cassin and L. Banet. I. Luzon, W. Brunhum. I. Horan. R. Perkins, W. Lusher. L. Mueller, R. Zeller, I. Kennedy, W. Lebre and S. Montgomery. Many of these departing leitermen have 100 played several seasons on the varsity squad. others had iust begun to make their mark when graduation cut short their prospects. All have shown the true St. X spirit and will be missed in the tall. 101 HEIIIIHIJ TllI.l1 touchdown, the Bengals powered their way to a 12-7 lead midway in the third period. Flaget stiffened, held, and fi- nally pushed across their winning tally in the fourth quarter. This probably is a beginning of a rivalry that should equal that of Manual-Male. St. X 0 New Albany 13fStill smarting from their one point loss to Flaget, the Tigers dropped a 13-O decision to New Albany. With the exception of a third period lapse, the green and gold swept the hoosiers completely off their feet. Inter- cepted passes set up both New Albany touchdowns. All the boys in the line played brilliantly while Erwin and Bid- well paced the backs. The team just didn't get any breaks as every goal- ward thrust was halted either by a fum- ble or a pass interception. St. X 6 Reitz Memorial 20fLosing their third straight, the Tigers dropped a 20-6 decision to a speedy Beitz line. That line coupled with their speedy, driving backs proved too much for the fighting Tigers. Our lone score came in the closing seconds of the first half when Bob Eimer took the Reitz kick-off and sped 76 yards to pay dirt. This knotted the score at 6 all at half time. Memorial struck twice more to run the final count to 20-6. St. X 14 KMI 254Still reeling under three successive blows, St. X dropped their fourth in a row to the Cadets. Three fumbles in the first quarter set up KMl's touchdowns. Trailing by a l9-O count, the Tigers moved into high gear and scored l4 points. They rolled relentlessly towards the Cadets goal, trailing by only five points, 19-14. A third X drive fell short of its mark, as KMl clinched matters by reeling off another touchdown. With the exception of the first quarter everybody played a bang-up game. The Bengals were now pointing for the strong Manual Tilt. St. X 0 Manual 19-With the ex- ception of three well executed plays, St. X played a powerful Manual eleven completely off their feet. The lighter Tiger team shoved the big Red line all THE TIGERS First Row: I. Carter, B. Wolfe, I. Denny. B. Branham, I. Wolfe, L. Cummins, S. Montgomery, B. Haner, E. Bidwell, D. Erwin. I. Ridge. C.

Then a perfectly timed punt return coupled with a forty yard touchdown sprint by Redman spelled ultimate defeat for the Tigers.

St. X 0 Elder 12-Traveling to Cincinnati for their clash with Elder High, the green and gold were thrown for their seventh straight loss by a 12-O count. The Queen City eleven completely dominated the offensive play. Mud, seasonal opponent of the Tigers, slowed up the game consider- ably. Too much weight proved to be the de- ciding factor. The X men played their hearts out but still took it on the chin to the tune of 12-0. St. X 6 Roger Bacon 27-Closing the sea- son the Tigers dropped a 27-6 decision to a shifty Roger Bacon eleven from Cincinnati. Shifting their T formation puzzled the Tiger defenders and thus enabled Bacon to reel off long gains. Three successive touchdowns were scored on the same pass play. But X was not to be denied their score. Gene O'Brien, on an end around, swept 46 yards to pay dirt. Despite these setbacks, we are anxiously look- ing forward for brighter prospects next season.

The Tigers began this season by defeating the Eagles of St. loe, 4U-26. Captain Silliman led the team in their second go, as Washing- ton, lndiana edged the Bengals, 44-33. ln their third outing, Reitz of Indiana also held the Green and Crolders helpless by winning 47-34, making their Indiana trip a complete failure. New Albany, following the steps of the other Hoosier fives, completely routed St. X, 55-36, and gave the Tigers a one and four record. However, the Bengal losses were certainly not hurting Sillirnan's scoring as the Xavier captain led the city scoring race by edging his teammate lim Hennessy by l5 points. Flaget met the Tigers on Dec. 20th, and proved their superiority by whipping them 36 to 3l. Central City was given a very bad scare by St. X before subduing the faltering cats 58 to 5l. The Central City game was the best effort of the Tigers to date.

Valley, at this time rated as one of the top teams in the Falls City area proved their prowess by thumping St. X 49 to 42. Things looked very bad at this point. Anchorage however, on lanuary lst proved to be the turning point in the Bengal quest for glory. St. Xavier won this one 48 to 45. At this point, Hagan started a revamped lineup which consisted of Bauer, Silliman, O'Donnell, Bom- ans, and Kapp. This quint proved far more successful than the original one. Next the Basketeers traveled to Versailles, where they made it two in a row by squeez- ing the Versaillians 40 to 27. At this point, however, X rooters became optimistic. Male, stymied by the Tigers surge to glory, turned back St. Xavier in a thrilling one point victory for Male 35-34.

St. X at the time appeared in a slump that they couldn't seem to shake. Meeting Anchorage, an aggregation the Green and Gold had once conquered, the Bengals found the Anchors and their cracker box gym too much for them, losing their twelfth game, 5047.

SPIJHTS PAH!-llJE: - THE WATER, Starting from a ripple last year with an in- formal team, the undefeated Tiger Swim Team, coached by Brother Fabius, splashed this year to a State Championship. Buoyed up by an unbeaten city record, the Tiger Tankmen con- verged on State Meet at Richmond, Ky. late in March. They would not be denied. To the wild iubilation of the members and followers a final tally placed them l4 points out in front of Berea, the nearest contender. The hard stroking Mermen brought St. X its first State Crown in two years and its first swimming glory in school-history. Individual honors went to Warren Smith, the new State Champion breaststroker, and Louis Kissel, the new State Champion backstroker. The team annexed sev- eral other state records in relay and medley events. A significant feature of the new cham- pions was the youthfulness of the squad, as Freshmen, l-l. l-largadon, T. O'Toole, I. Hunt, and B. Cambron moved into the total scoring together with veterans, Captain Uhl, Don Min- ogue, Bob O'Donnell, Ierry Denny, I. lngram, and Bill Savage. Other pointfgetters in the water sport for the state and season action were T. l-lenle, B. Dages, W. Willen, I. Kennedy, and M. Hornek. Coach Brother Fabius and his boys deserve great credit for their phenomenal success with this hitherto, unnoticed sport. Iohn Uhl, captain of this year's State Champions. poised for the plunge. Iohn realized a two-year ambition when in March, he led his team to St. X's first State Championship Swimming Crown. Much of the team's success was due to his leadership and encouragement. E.

THE III IJEHP Captain Blll Stoopl, one oi the fastest boys ever to wear the Tlqer Colors on the clnderpaths, chalk: up another victory aqalnlt New Albany ln his specialty-the 100 yd. dash at the State Meet, Blll was high polnt man, set cr new 220 Record and led the Tigers to Runner-Up Honors. TH, The 1947 version of the Tiger Track Team coached by Iunie Iones was one of the best squads in St. X History. Headed by popular Captain Biil Stoops, rated as one of the fastest sprinters in Kentucky high school circles, this year's squad returned to the cinder pathways bolstered with veterans. With B. Stoops, I. Sheehy and M. Sedler back from last year's crack 880 relay team as a nucleus, Mr. Iones welded the team into shape. Among returning veterans were B. Elmer, E. Lebre, E. Bidwell, I. Clancy, W. Smith, D. Stovall, I. Sheeran, L. Mueller, Gene O'Brien, T. Carroll, B. Voor, R. Wolfe. As Corydon tell to the driving heels of the thinlies, and New Albany tipped the Tiger Victory train, newcomers I. Denny, I. Eimer, I. Carter, I. Muth, I. Devore, V. Bodner and E. Boser broke into the scoring. We captured second place in the Regional. At the State Meet, the Tigers had a field day, captured 5 first places, set 3 State Records in both relays and the 220 yd. dash, won individual scoring honors, and missed the State Title by 3 and Va points. This was a great Tiger Track Team coached by dynamic Iunie Iones, and led by record-breaking sprinter Captain Bill Stoops. Front Row, left to right: C. Iames, I. Kremer. D. Wise, P. Aulbach, I.

Parker, Captain Graduation cut heavily into the 1947 base- ball squad as coach Red Hagan sounded the call for Diamond practice. Returning lettermen were newly-elected Captain Corky Baible, G. Silliman, M. Russ, D. Wise, I. Kramer, and W. Toon. In addition there were several talented newcomers advanced from Brother Donatus' IV squad: B. Lege, C. Brown, I. Brown, B. Haner, I. Mclntyre, P. Aulbach, and I. Parker. With veteran hurlers, Corky Baible and G. Silli- man, providing strong pitching and hitting power, implemented by the proven power of the newcomers-the Tigers displayed strong offensive strength. On the defensive side, L. Banet successfully filled the vacant catcher's post, B. Lege, sparkled at shortstop, and stand- ing by to add to stick-power were B. Haner in center field, W. Toon on first, and the Brown Twins battery. As the Tigers pummelled Gko- lona 18-3 in the early season, they displayed hitting power which marked their season. Both Coach Hagan and the boys deserve great credit for a topnotch season. The Backeteers went to the post more often than usual this season as the weather dis- Corky Raible. C. Brown, W. Toon. L.

En- couraged by the reappearance of his number one and number two men, assisted by several new members, Mr. Beeler eagerly began the season play. The team displayed strong possi- bilities in its matches, as I. Hennessy and I. Corbett were groomed for the Regional play. Both strokers are anxious. Still fresh from last year's Runner-up State Honors, the linksmen were back at it again this year with veteran coach, Brother Edward Ioseph, in the driving post. The returning letter- men, I. Conn, B. Belviy, T. Bacon, and E. Sulli- van elected by competition, Charles Breckle as captain. Though hard-hit by the loss of Iack Stemle, the diggers have shown top possi- bilities in the early season play. Under Brother Edward's splendid coaching, they are pointed to overcome that Runner-up iinx. W i 1. 4 . I x K '1 .

Endowed with speed as well as height, this seasons squad went on to win the coveted city cham- pionship for lunior Varsity teams. Not satis- fied with merely defeating other l.V. outfits, the Xavier Iuniors even scheduled small school Varsity teams about the state, and in almost all of these contests emerged victorious. ln- gram, who gained slightly over a hundred points was the leading scorer for the lunior Varsity, while Stemle, a very promising young- ster captained the squad. CUBS As in former seasons, this year's Cub quint under the guidance of Bro. Boy again led all Xavier teams in the win and loss column, total- ing ZU wins against only 5 losses. Aggressive play and deceptive ball handling characterized the Cubs this season as they met and defeated some of the best intermediate teams in the Falls City area. Perhaps the greatest compliment that can be paid this year's Cubs, is that they have been called as good as, if not superior to last year's outfit who amassed the amazing total of 37 wins against 2 losses. Carney, Schweitzer, and lones were the top performers on this year's star studded five. KITTENS The kittens, smallest member of the St. Xavier basketball clan, continued the winning ways of their older brothers by totaling l8 wins while suffering only 5 losses. Sorely lacking in height, the Baby Bengals , time and time again by their aggressive play, turned the tide of battle in their favor. Advancing a new sys- tem, whereby many more boys were allowed to play, the Kittens, this year, were divided into two squads, the large or regular kittens, and the small lads called the midgets. Donnie Varga and David Baird were elected co-cap- tains of this year's regular Kittens, while Seitz and Marx provided the spark for the midgets. Pictures of various teams are from top to bottom. the Re- gional Champs. the Iayvees, coached by Brother Elroy: the Cubs. coached by Brother Roy: the Kittens. coached by Brother Clemens: and the Cross Country Team. coached by Iunior Iones.

The cross-country- men won several places in their meet. HE MAKERS UP TIGER SPIJHT HISTIJHY The Monogram Club. made up only of X letter men are from left to right. First Row: D. Finch. I. Moss. E.

THE MONOGRAM CLUB Have you ever stood on Broadway and watched the wave of green sweaters converge on St. X? lf you have, you have noticed the flashes of gold that mingled with the green. These golden flashes are the letters worn by the members of our mythical Monogram Club. The boys you saw every morning were only a few of the many who have earned and, in the future, will earn this coveted award by: knocks and bruises on the gridiron, chasing fungoes on the green or running up and down a hard- wood floor wearing blisters on their feet. These were the boys who were mainly responsible for the Spirit of X by their constant efforts to, once again, put St. X on the sports map of our state.

THESE HE THE HIGHLIGHTS UE I1 H SUEI!-lL The social season of i946-47 was spotlighted with seasonal dances. The Crusade Prom held in town and the Football Hop at the school were two of the feature socials. For the annual Mis- sion Prom, the music was provided by loe Brian and his orchestra in the Henry Clay ball- room. There the fellows and their dates dreamed to the sweet melodious voice of Martha Lee, who gave a splendid performance with her professional song appeal. But the students weren't the only ones celebrating, for the chaperons joined in the festivities, too. Messrs. and Mmes. Erwin, Kiesler, Aulbach, and Carroll chaperoned this as well as many other dances. Members of the faculty, Brother Lionel, Brother Climacus, Brother Urban Fran- cis, and Brother Medard were guests of the CSMC. The contrasting lights and shadows, the gliding couples, and the many-colored formals produced the ever-changing effect of an over- sized kaleidoscope. As the small hours drew near, Martha Lee brought the affair to a close, singing Good- night Sweetheart. With the Football Hop , St. X brought its social season into full swing. With music by Frank Bluel, several vocals by Syl Nitzken, and some hep displays of rug- cutting by Dick Fowler, the social-lites plunged headlong into an evening of top-notch enter- tainment. The crowd was just right, and when the orchestra struck up a smooth number, there was just enough room on the gym floor for all. The group was composed mostly of seniors, but there were a few underclassmen and alumni. A good orchestra, a lively crowd, and plenty of refreshments made for a most enjoy- able Football Hop -another memory. The busy photographer caught the spirit of the CSMC Formal in the shots to the right.

Far back in September, as school once more hummed with lite, the word went torth that another Tiger Annual was under consideration. Meetings were held, polls were taken, and em! bryonic stattmen interviewed students. ln No- vember, the Xavier News headlined Ed Schar- re's appointment as editor, and featured his associate editors, Ierry Brenzel, limmy Conn, and Bob Mullane. Great was the stir ot excitement created when it was announced from YB headquar- ters that this year's Annual would be an all- school yearbook, instead of the customary senior yearbook. The new system was ex- plained to the seniors by Brother Urban Francis, Yearbook moderator, in a special gym session. THESE ME EIIITEH A U PHIJIIUIIEII THE 19117 TIGER The sot up was quizzed from every conceiv- able finale. Opposition developed to including mind:er-classmen, but a majority vote accepted the new format. Dough deadlines were set, statf assignments were allotted, the l947 Tiger wf-nt into production with Bob Wilbert and Ed Sctiarro accepting the challenge of mustering imflorclmszs support. Qperations essential to the production of a yearbook kept the entire staff hard at work during the first half of the year. There were sports to be covered, senior sketches to be sought, photos to be flashed, and copy to be written. In Ianuary, professional photographer, Mr. Bransorn, strode through Here are the boys who dug up the copy, lett to right: Iames Dowd, Dick Fowler, Pete Gofiinet, William Gray, Herman Zimmermann, Robert Kunz, Kenneth O'Hara, Rob- ert Wilbert, Edmund Conen, William Kelly, Ierry Brenzel.

The Yearbook Headquarters, high in the Xavier News roorn, was literally smok- ing with activity. ln March, the mountain of tabulated copy and wealth of pictures was packaged and shipped to the printers for its formal appearance. The publishing of this book will be history when you receive it. The reward of the Edie torial Staff of the Tiger will come in full meas- ure when you read this book in later life and return to the school in memory. This Tiger will always be the arc which welds the Senior Class of l947 to St. Xavier High School. workers are the boys who supplied the material, endless as it seemed. to make up these pages. Without their zealous etiorts, under the direction of Brother Urban, and Editor Ed Scharre, this Yearbook might never have reached page one, never mind page 129. -Semfik lla This is only a high school Yearbook. In it we are only able to express the sentiments of those in high school and with a high school education. But even with all these restrictions, those that are here within these pages are deep and heartfelt. I wish to submit my thanks to these: To Brother Urban Fran- cis, for help I would have received from no other source . . . To Brother Meclard and the members of his Xavier News staff . . . To Brother Climacus and his staff, for correct and necessary information . . . To all of the Brothers, for their infinite patience with our many interruptions of class and schedules . . . To Mr. Cooke of Campus Publishing Company, for his help and wise suggestions . . . To the members of Kaufman-Straus Studio for courteous, cooperative assistance . . . To those whom I will never know, who gave us the material to print and record. This is the last page of the '47 Tiger, this is the finis of what we hope to be a true and correct representation of the Years 1943 to 1947. We fear that it will be but a clouded view of the many faceted jewel we know as Saint Xavier High School. Editor-in-Chief Edward Wm. Scharre, '47 128 !
