We would not stay the bliss We know is yours. God rest you, Dan. Page 10 k K, Contents r :3; '3?

MICHAEL BROWNE nllliku Sodality, '28331; Acoiythical Society, '28; Orchestra. '28. Mike is an interesting combination of metropolitan sophistication and rustic quaintness. His iocose gibes, his falsetto laughter. his exceedingly broad grins, and his brilliant scientific conclusions, halve Charmed, utterly fascinated. all of us. thy did Mike have to buy a penegreen Chev? ANTHONY H. BRUENEMAN Tony SOdality, ,50351; Literary Seminar, 150; EIOCUe tion. ,50; X-Ray, i30; Oratorical, '51. Tony is excellently well informed on ichthyological matters. Lengthy zoological terms baffle him not. Indeed, his piscene knowledge is to be highly com- mended. T011335 industry is so limitless that he swears he will dissolve unemployment, and suc- cessfully rassle Ioe Nordmzmi JOSEPH A. BRUN Joe Sodaiity, '29-'31; Band, 29351. Joe is the official class custodian, taking scrupultms Care Of the erasers, Chalk, etc. But this is not his only accomplishment because our Joe can play a trumpet like a master ipiumberl JOSEPH BUCHERT ac Sodality, '28331; Dramaths, ,50; Library. '28- '50; Orchestra, '29-'51. Ice is condescending to the teachers; even answus questions in class. He has the latest do e on the Silent movies and keeps the Class supp led with blotters; plays in the orchestra and tries hard to sing in cha el. He has all the facial expressions ofa great voca ist; all he needs is a voice. NORMAN BUTTON Alarm Sodality. 28-130; Band, 98330; Orchestra. 748350. The band is Normls only lovewor else he is very secretive. His hair grows perpendicularly in kinks and would probably rise to lndefmite heights if if; werenjt for frequent visits to the tonsorial parlor. JAMES BYRNES 'lJr'm Football, 2930; Baseball, '50351; Basketball. ,30331. Jim plays football until Thanksgiving and then he falls into a state of coma till Spring. lt's awfully difficult to try to get a word out of him during these periods of hibernation and it's not so easy other times either. RALPH CRAWFORD Ralph Sodallty, 128351; Prefect, '29: Assistant Prefect, J31; Acolythical Society, ,31; Oratorlcal Con- test, 30331; Dramatics, '50; Football Manager, 30; Cheer Leader, '29; Athletic Club, J30331; X-Ray, '51; Seminar, '29-'51. lVe don't lmow whether Ralph is aristocratic or democratic; he has so many phases to his nature, 50 many modes. Ralph can tell you how to look ultra'puzzled, how to acquire honors galore, how to gain social prestige, how to attain a four-lnch swagger while strolling. EEK E3 ; . x IIlII-III.I OXVEN DONOVAN Owen SodaIity, '28-'31,- X-Ray, '51. Owen is our modern Daniel Boone, straight from the wild hiils of Kentucky UgudlowL and although he is frequently bored in physics class, he cer- tainlv knows his stuff when it comes to Latin and Gree i. PHILIP DORGER Phil Sedality, '27-'31. Phil is a deep thinker and a quiet fellow who rarely expresses a personal opinion concerning physics. He was reared in the Blue Grass State and can very easily tame wild poniesn for Latin and Greek JAMES DORSEY Jim Sodality, '27-'51; Baseball, '28329; Orchestra, GI; Elocution, '29350; Tennis, 30; Athletic Club, 99. Some day the soft strains of Iisz orchestra will enthrall the hearts of his feminine admirers. It is rumored that he will be Vincent Lopez II . He merited distinction in public speaking, while his English assignments contained quality and not quantity. VINCENT ECKSTEIN lb'cky Sodality, ,274'51; XvNews, '30J31; Editor, '30- 131; X-Ray Staff, 130351; Class Treasurer, '31; Athletic Club, ,30331. Echy is the outstanding scholar of the Class of 4 C, and is unexcellecl in his literary ability. He hopes some day to be a second Edgar Allen P024 When he reads his masterpieces before his class- mates silence reigns throughout. Although editor of the X-News, he finds time to win class honors. 5A,, 3 ROBERT EFKEMAN Bab Sedalify, 37331; Eiocution, '50; Baseball, 31. Bob is a firm believer in the Bov Scouts motto. Be Prepared. He knows 1:0sz from A to Z, and then backwards again. Bob Can be found any night at home on College Hill studying his Cree E with the radio turned on. Some dav Bob will be city manager and run the whole war is. IOHN ELSENER Elay Sodality, '28-,51. Being a model student is Iohnhs. asset; he lives in Covington, but bears up under it like a little man. Principal pastimes: going to sleep during physics lectures, passing caustic remarks about things in general. He has only one weak pointhhis middle name. THONIAS ERTEL Tam SOdality, '28351; Band, '28-151; Orchestra, ,51; X-Ray, '50151. thenever there's anything social going on that starchy collar and tie boy, Tom, is sure to be one of the promoters. We hear that his curly red hair doesn't spend much time over books. IULES FERN iiJulfel' SOdality, 78331; Oratorical Contest. ,51; Foot- ball. 150; Band, ,28-3'1; X-Ray Staff, 51; Class Treasurer, '51; Dramatics, '31. Petite, gay and charming, thatis our Jules. with his 200 pounds rocking with laughter. Every member of the class is in his rogue's gallery and his sweet voice has often been heard in our oper- ettas. 'We predict he will be a drummer in the Salvation Army. SYLVESTER FLERLAGE Cy Sodaiity. ,28331; Basketball, 129331; Buse- ball, 30.

VICTOR FISTER I'h' Sodaiity, '28-'51; Consultor, 131.

MELVIN FROELICHER .Urlu Sodality, '28331; X-Ray, 129151. lVlel is the main stay of the physics Class. Between physics and chemistry, Nlel ought to make a success in this cruel worlcl. Perhaps he will succeed Nialrconi. We have also heard he is a receiver of sweetly scented fan mail. THOMAS GARTLAND Tum Sudality, 30:51. Tom, who occupies the first desk in the class room, can very readily explain the technique of dodging the professor's Aeneid when it comes whizzing through the air. Tom possesses an Irish wit which is unexcelled. MAURICE GERWE zllamy Sodality, '29-31; Football, '29331; Basketball, '29-'51; Captain, 151; Baseball, ,50, Of course, every class must have its star athlete, and we nominate Nlaury as our leader. Space is not sufficient for us to be specific, but we can say that he has done more than well in those numerous branches of athletics. He certainly is a tower of strength and activity. EARL GIBBONS Gib Sodallty, 98351. It must be his boyish, magnetic personality that makes Gib so populur-or may be we are all trying to discover why he fixes his tie so short, and what happens to the other end. xxxxx xxx .IH w 5an Q3; xxx x x 90 JAMES GIBBONS Jim Sodality, '28-'51; Orchestra, '28-'31; Band, 98331. The path of a trusty and true politician is already laid for the champion arguer of his class. Jim plays the trombone with great success UIis wind is very goocn, and we already have visions of him playing a daily solo in the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. ROBERT GOEKE UBab'h Sodality, '28-'51; Baseball, '51. Bob is the big man from the South. He is a staunch follower of the slogan Bigger and better meals . The street car company is kicking be- cause Bob pays for the seat of one and occupies two, and above all. he does not attribute his success to smoking Luckies . CYRIL GUNDLING Cy Sodality, '28331; Tennis, '31. Cy is the living proof of the adage l1300!.l goods come in small packages . He is a handsome little fellow, and one of the mast popular in the Class. It must be a combination of that influential Avondale environment, that southern drawl and his own inimitable wit. GEORGE HAGEN Georgie Soclality. '28331; Acolyte, 728331; Band, '28-'31; Orchestra, 19351; Annuai, '51; Dramatics, '50351. hVe've often wondered how George's friends ever let him alone long enough for him to come to schooi. He is a Charter member of the HTall story Club , and is. a bold, bad. man. Page 50 E ,, WALTER HAGLAGE Wall Sodality, '28-,31; Dramatics, '30; Athletic Club, 30; Acolyth'ical Society, ,29351. XValf: is only :1 mite of a fellow, but he is all gray matter . is one ambition is to buy the Carew Tower and paint it blue and white, in honor of his beloved Alma lilaiel'. ROBERT HELMICK HBalz Sodulity, '31; Football, '31; Oratorical Contest, ,51; X-Ray, '31; Dramatics, '31. Bob is a good-looking fellow, as can be seen from his pictures. He says he isrft, but what is his opinion compared to that of scores of girls ies- pecially Ann'sl Bob is also a good orator and a splendid football player. He has been with us but one year. ROBERT HERBERS Bob Sociality, ,2333 L The guardian of the southwest corner of fhe room is a flash on the basketball court and in surmounting Latin and Greek obstacles. Bob is a refreshin Iy pleasant, amiable character; one of the less Oisferous members of the Class. LEONARD HILLEN Cupid Sodality, '28331; Band, '28-'29; Acolythical Society, '28- 29. Cu id is the little play boy of 4 C . His boyish litt e pranks are always enjoyed by the professors. After school every evening Cupid can be found Shooting his arrows On this case-ei'asersl He is a iine fellow, though, and well liked by all. HER BERT HI LS hi Hm-lu'r Sodaiity, J28--'51; Orchestra, 'ZC-ISI; Band, :28- '31; Athletic Club, 130331. Herbie Claims he developed his sturdy muscles by heating the drum in the Band. We agree with him because that drum can lie heard above the rest of the Bumli Herbie has visions of a vast ranch in the foothills of Kentucky, where he might be rid of this bewildering Greek and physics. JOHN HOCK i'Rm'ii Sodaliiy, 129-150; Athletic Club, ,29330; Equip- ment Manager, 130351. Red is the HBeuu Brummel of his class. He is. a staunch follower of the Democrats. Republicans, Communists, and is sceptre bearer for Mussolini. He is very interested in physics. and some day expects to find out why floating hodies do not Sink . EDWARD HOLZ WM Sodality, 128330; Eiocution Contest. 3.8329; X-Ray Stuff, J31; Athletic Club, ,51; Acolythicai Society, 128; Dt'amutics, i151; Literary Sem- inar. '31. Ed is our speaker, our Floyd Gibbons . W'hat a treat to see his tousied head twist spasmodicaliy while he is doing four hundred words a minute. WThether his uke piayin is an asset or a liability remains to be seen. E has so many nicknames that for variety we like to call him by his correct name. CROVER HUBING 'iGrowrrh Sodality, 129331; Orchestra, 19-131. Grover is one of the tweEve mathematicians who claim to understand Einsteinis theory. KVhelf he knows about physics would fill a library blue and a half volumesi, He is an authority on dance orchestras, tooi LEROY HULLER Ray Sociality, 728331; Band, 128. The master mind ofclass 4 C. Though vanquishegl, he can still argue, and sell Baldwin pianosV He 15' the answer to every maiden's prayer and boasts 01' many conquests. JAMES HUSSEY Jimu Sodality, 128351; Basketball, 3031. Jim is our star basketball player on the v 'ity quintet. Through his ability in physics, Iim can be found before the games, measuring the distance, energy and velocity needed to cage his buckets . His pleasing personality has gained for him many friends. FRANK IMXVALLE Frank Football, 30. Frank knows what it means to be called a rEtiffwa thafs his business. It seems a shame to waste such an imposing stature and wavy titian locks on the unappreciative dead. Should we call it fate, circumstance or parental influence? RICHA RD KEA RNEY 'Dsz' J Sodalitv, '28-'31; X-News, 30351; X-Ray, '30- 131; Liery, T9330; Oratorical, ,30331; Elocu- tion, '28350; W7inner, 29; Athletic Club, '30; Civic and Vocational League, '51 Dick is a handsome young debonair from Fort Thomas. He has been energetic in school activities and is an excellent elocutionist and orator. He also deserves praise for his literary wcrks 0n the X-News and X-Ray. - .- Kg FT? R CHARLES KERSTEIN HCllarlie Sodality, 38:51. Charlie plays on the class basketball team, in- dorses Mother's Oats, translates Latin and Greek occasionally, and is in general a credit to the class. He still claims that his mother washes his face every morning. HAROLD WOLFF - Harold Sodality, 9830. Harold is the proud possessor of that haircut that everybody points at. It has taken years of malevo- lent, mysterious manipulation before his coiffure would assume its present hei ht. We fear that bzildhess, when it comes, will 8 a death blow to him. ARTHUR KLEVE HAP! Baseball, '50-'51. Art is a trusting soulhhe believes most anything you tell him, but then we suspect he knows more than he lets on. He really likes physicsheven to the extent of writing an oration about it. He shows a keen interest in athletics, baseball claim- ing most of his attention CARL KLEVE Carl Sodallty, '28329: Swimming Team, '50; Literary Seminar, ,29350. Auto mechanic, electrician, wiz and musician all in one man. XVe imagine Carl would gel; confused and insulate his uke strings with tape, or try to pump air into a test tube. QWW, JOSEPH KLOPP Joell Sodaility. '28-'31; Athletic Club, I31;lLiterary Seminar, 1 Joe has three predominant talents: he is a faithful librarian, a creditable pianist, and an expert at selecting red-hof: ties. Ioejs congenial nature, beaming countenance and the spontaneity with which he will aid anyone has drawn all ofus to him. DANIEL LEDXVIN Dani, Sodality, 750331; Baseball, '31. We can cite no situation which would not earn a quip from those wise-cracking lips. Iuiuiug us in third year Dan has been so busy jumping from clasg to class that he has given no one a Chance to learn his secret haunts and ambitionsi AMBROSE LINDHORST Lindy Sodality, ,28351; Elocution Contest, l28330; Winner, '50; X-Ray, Assistant Editor, '51; CIASS President, '31; Cheerleader, lSI; Acolyth- ical Society, '28-,31; Oratorical Contest Vl'in- ner, J51; Band, '28-,51; Orchestra, ,28329; Dramatics, '50331; Athletic Club, J29; Ring nggniittee, 151;Dance Committee, '51; X-News, o - . Lindy has been one of the most popular and out- standing students during his four years at Xavier High, and his activities speak for themselves, XVILLIAlvl LONG 'lBIH'J Sodality, '28-,51; Athletic Club, '31; Dramat- lcs, l51. Our striving young soda clerk manages to cater to the feminine pulchitrude of Clifton and at the same time engage in school activities. This should be enough proof that Bill is quite an ambitious young man. I I I. I I I I W l 9 h zzzIIttth x w ' -IIIIIIII CHARLES LORENZ Char'liu Sodality, '28-151. Our prize student scholastically is none other than Charlie, who can study longer and sleep less than any other fellow in the classA It shall not be long ere we shall hear of Charlie us a promising engineer in the laboratories of a large radio concern. DONALD MAGGINI sz Sodality, 98351. Don typiiies what the well-dressed young man wears and 15 consndered an authority on dictum, contemporary drama, and where to eat. RAYIVIOND M A RKEY Tarzan Smlality, '27-'51. Ray is a friendly fellow who has many friends in every class. He is good natured t0 the extreme, and has waded through his studies on the Hslow but steady plan. EDGAR .MAXVVELL HDUIL'IIH Football, :29; Baseball, '30. Ed may not he the youngest, but he certainly is the most youthful boy in the class. No prankJ ever so humble, is beneath him. Throwing ink bottles, chalk and erasers are his most common delights. $1 Page 56 HOWARD MAXWELL Pele Football, ,28331; Co-Captain, 31; Sodality, ,28331. iVe certainly should pity Howard if this were a co-educational institution-there are not many fair maidens who wouldth make a play for this handsome gridiron star. Besides he is quite a clever boy and probably the most amiable in the C1355. xxxxxxxx ROBERT iVlcEVILLEY Bab Sodzility, '28350; Eloculion, 128329; Football Manager. '51; Athletic Club, '31; Homecoming Committee, 31; F. F. L. 8.. ,51; X-Ray. Bus- iness Manager, 151; Dramatics, 151. Curt, acrid repartee is Bobls specialty: In spite of convulsive screeches Robert can sometimes become abnormally absorbed in some profitable reading or study. His varied pursuits indicate hi5 versatile nature. JOHN McMULLEN JIM Sodality, 983.31; Tennis, '51. Perhaps his daily walk to school through Eden Park accounts for his ruddy appearance and his rangy stature. XVe are unable to determine what causes his unconsciously facetious answers to somewhat serious questions. ' FRANK MESSMANN Frank Sodnlify, ,50351; Track, '50; Athletic Club. ,51; X-Rziy, ,50; Editor, 751; X-News, 750331: Co- Editor, ,30-31; Class Secretary, ,31; Ring Com- mittee. ,31; Civic and Vocational League, '31; Dramatics, '31. Our luminous scientist, engineer and electrical ex- pert is likewise a glowing journalist. His talents. have found vent in the school weekly, and he. more than any other, being editor-in-Chief, has made the X-Ray of i3l what it is. ,xxxxxxxx 2 ALEXANDER MEZUR Alex Sodalitv, 78351; Class President, 131; X-Ray, 151; Library, '30-'51; Baseball, I28331; Orches- tra.

There is a something abdut it concerning which we cannot speak. a something which lies deep in our hearts and which, though so easily understood, we feel remiss to put into words, words that can do nothing but detract from its beauty. The Poland MemOrial Chape1, austere in its simplicity and yet mellow in its age, dominated by the statue of the awe-inspiring Isaac Iogues is suggestive of the medieval, then of the frontier outposts and in all, of an abode of Godh And though we have Crossed its threshold myriads of times in the four years that we have spent here, there is hardly a time on entering that we do not glance around to imprint its image deeper on our hearts.

The Lihrary An activity of Xavier University High, which undoubtedly merits the praise and thanks of the student body, is the library. This branch of the school was successfully managed by Miss Virginia Vierling, the first formal librarian the school has had. Aiding her in these labors were Alexander Mezur, Russell Bramlage, and William Herbert. The reading room was ever open to the student who wished to take advantage of the valuable opportunities that -' MISS VIERLING it offered. The books which occupied the well-filled shelves were ever at the disposition of those desiring knowledge. There were also current fiction and scientific magazines which proved to be very popular. The library was also a shelter from the hubhub of a. swift, scholastic life. The diligent and tedious efforts of the library staff were somewhat requifted by the success which it experienced. Nevertheless, we wish to extend our sincere appreciation to those who by their assistance enabled this department to advance so splendidly. f .1 Page 74 1C8 Dramat MR. ROTH Mr. Edward C; Roth has, since his advent t0 Xavier High six years ago, been most suc- cessful in his furtherance ofelocutionary art at the school. The Oratorical Contest, the Senior Play, and othfer dramatic presentations that have evolved from the training given the students by this esteemed director, typify his great success in the field of the drama and dramatic art. The Class ofle extends to this renowned gentleman their most gracious appreciation for his ever-present efforts. Mr. James P. Glenn has also taken a most active part in the field of dramatic art. Par- ticipants in the Oratoricalfand Eiocution contests have for the past few years attested to his ability as an instructor. This year it was through the efforts of Mr. Glenn that the Sophomore Class presented a series of character sketchesA The tremendous success of this contest is but another proof of the popularity of Mr. Glenn; ES A MBROSE LI NDHORST The Oratorical Contest This year the annual SeniOr Orntorical Contest took place in the school auditorium, in D'lemorizll Hall, February 5, 1931. The reputation which Xavier High has for the development of public speakers was more than upheld in the spirited contest which ensued on that memor- able date when the best speakers in the school were assembled to try their skill. After numerous trials, in which every Senior participated, twelve repregentative speakers were chosen to speak, Robert Helmiek, the iirst speaker of the evening, ably presented his topic, Joan ol-Arc. He was followed by Paul Witte with a discourse on Abraham Lincoln . Lawrence Flynn, Ralph Crawford, Richard Kearney, and John Brockmam followed. When the intermission had terminated, Ambrose Lindhorst eloquently proclaimed the advent of The Fifth Horseman . Following him were Jules Fern, Joseph Smith, Richard Reichle, Richard Scherer, and Anthony Brueneman. The judges awarded the winning honors t0 Ambrose H. Lindhorst. Senior Dramatics .On Thursday and Friday evenings. hpril 161 17, the Senior Class presented a play which attamed unprecedented success in the hxstory 0t dramatics at Xavier. The play entitled, Brewster's AMillions. portrays a young millionaire attempting to spend a million dollars in order to gain seven millions that had been left him by an uncle on condition that he spend his first million inside a year, and without taking anyone into his confidence. His friends try to keep him from spending the money. but without success. He meets With several reverses, however, for he wins in the stock marhet and when he plays The Ponies'J. XVith half the year gone and no way to spend money he resolves to take his friends on a yacht trip around the world. They stop at Monte Carlo, and Monty breaks the bunk. XVith the end of the year approaching, Monty decides to give a carnival to spend money. His friends attempt to make him sail for home, but in :1 squall the rudder is broken, and Nlonty, raising the distress flag, is forced to pay salvage. This take: the remainder of his fortune and he believes himself to be penniless when Harrison, who had lost thirty-five thousand dollars of Monty's money. returns to repay him. Monty disposes of this and finally receives the seven million dollars. THE CAST Vunderpool ...........................................................

'WWoonshine, a sketch of two characters, was presented by John Horgan, taking the part of the revenue officer, and Edward Harper portraying the mountaineer; Having been Caught by the mountaineer, through some clever pretension, the revenue emcer succeeds in making him believe that he is not Jim Dunn whose life is at stake. The Girl was presented by Richard D'loores, John Reinke, and A1 Haberbusch taking the parts of Bob Connell, Fred Cawley, and Kribs, respectively. The eternal triangle formed the plot, and despite the threats of Fred Cawley, it Was soon evident that the never-say-die spirit of Bob Council would conquer. In h'The Rising of the Moon , Charles Blase, hVilliam Sontag, Robert Fitzgerald, and Frank Overbeck united their efforts to produce a mast agreeable and welI-acted production. All these plays were under the direction of Mr. Edward C. Roth. TOP ROW: ERTEL. BLASE, HILS MIDDLE ROW: DORSEY, TILLMAN, REINKE, WEDDING, LEHMAN, BUTTON SITTING: BUCHERT, MILLER, HUBING.

The gap made in the banths ranks by vacating grad- uates was immediately filled by umlerstudies who have developed under the tutelage of Mun Bellstedt. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Bonnett, S.I., the hand has become one of the largest and best equipped organizations in the school to date. A merit award system has been introduced. new instruments and accessories acquired, and a new plan for collecting dues has met with the sincere approval of all members.

Its magical potentialities are never more clearly seen than now that they have vanished. His colorful record as a coach and as a player speaks not only of magic, but is of itself truly miraculous. Out of a school VVhOSe enrollment is kept limited by its strict educational standards, he raised many championship teams in every sport. The fact that these tea ms never served merely as a background for some one brilliant star is but another proof of his ability to take a group of awkward, untrained b0 '3 and convert them in a few weeks time into a smoothly working machine. Mr. Savage be ieved in lirrnly impressing the fundamentals of a game on the brain of the layer. Many of his teams have emerged victorious from contests just because he had incu cated in them his Own persevering patience in awaiting the breaks . A season under him was as great an aid to character building as any other training received during or after high school days. A sportslrpan he was and sportsmanship his creed, in his own words. no matter how much it hurts. He lived every game his squads ever played. His shrill rejoicing was heard during their triumphs; he was downcast in their defeats. He gruffly nursed their injuries. Scolding, threatening. caioling, teasing, laughing and getting them to laugh over his scintillating witehe saw them through many a spot where frayed nerves threatened to give. He knew his boys; he knew his game; and he combined this knowledge in a manner that brought out the best in any one. To say threat he will be missed or to make the usual platitudiuous remarkszseerns superfluous and hollow.There can be no greater eulogy composed than that which remams forever graven in the hearts and memories of all who knew, respected, and lovede-Coach Dan Savage.

Director of Junior Athletics The position of Iunior Athletic Director at Xavier University High is a station which requires a man of unusual patience, personality, experience in coaching small boys. and per- severance. Mr. James .Maguire, 3.1., being fully endowed with these requisites to a phenom- enal degree consequently officiated in that capacity in the past season. Mr. Nlaguirets presence was a fortunate acquisition to the minor squadk Welfare. He imbued his teams with all the spirit and fairness which Characterized his own being. As a result he turned out excellent teams in every major sport. His boys went into the battle with his exhortations ringing in their ears and invariably returned Victorious. Aside from his duties with the smaller teams Mr. D'lziguire, S.I., freely offered his advice to the Athletic Director in selecting the standard letter, the new baseball uniforms, in the appointment of student managers, and in numerous other ways. But besides his untiring efforts in the line of sports, it was due mainly to his efforrts that the Xauen'an .Ncm was able to obtain such unprecedented success. For these and many other reasons, too numerous to be mentioned in these pages, the student body and the staff offer Mr. Maguire, S.J., their sincere thanks.

The Big Brown squad that had crushed all its previous opponents by its weight and experience met several 5 arp and distinct shocks in the personages of Bill Grogan, Bert Schloemer and Ray VVocrner. Their audacity in scoring early in the third quarter provoked Mr. Savage's charges so much that Trame passed to Schioemer for one touchdown. and Bin, playing a lone hand, added another by blocking a punt and streaking for the goal. 'With a phalanx charging him, Bob XVelch, star of the game, calmly kicked the goals after the touchdowns. XVith the fear of God and St. Xavier in its proper place a panic- stricken quarterback in desperation filled the air with assorted passes, but the game ended 14-7 against him.

Now there,s a basketball player. Cap- tain, jumps center, called plays, nucleus of the team, center of the defense, slipped through now and then for a bunny or a follow-up and averaged - at least one a game from the middle of the floor- it soundslike a litany. but it doeant even half cover our Tow-headk achievements. THOMAS J. SCHMIDT A fast, heady forward. Most of the plays ended up with Thomas I. dropping the ball through the net. The A. A. U. refused to recognize as official any game in which Tom waant dusting the floor with his pants thirty-nine 0f the forty minutes of play: Great on passwork and follow- ing up. And is he handsome in uniform? JAMES HUSSEY XVhat Jim couldn't do with the hall from the pivot position doesn't matter, 'cemse nobody else can either. The way he outwitted the man guarding him ceased to be even remotely funny before the first few games were over. Besides being high-point man he was an excellent guard. Page 95 LAW RENCE TRAME 'WVhispering Lawrence, the Junior Marvel, As a guard he did everything but carry a gun. He had a dead eye for the basket, but didn't shoot often. He left that to his team-mates and contented himself with starting all the plays. Ha play went wrong you just knew it could not have been his fault. Next year'h: team will have Larry For its Captain and foundation. RALPH SCHNEIDER Snitz completes ourWnuce of lighting forwards. His forte was defensive work, but when it came to shooting he just did not Choose to miss. Will- ing to take on anybody his size or over, but . usually got the best of the bargain as he rarely passed up a free throw. JAMES BYRNES Alias Rubber-Legsn, alias Ramon. The best dressed man on the squad. The coaches were always threatening to'send him in. Why they didn't we could never quite dope out. Jim made the team in his Sophomore year and has stuck with it ever since Maybe the explanation lies in his aversion to daily practice and workouts.

MCMULLEN Tennis Team When the call for candidates was posted, April 1. some fifty enthusiasts turned out and tried their skill with their racket. Pre-season practice was held at the Armory Indoor Courts under the capable tutelage of our coach. Jack OlLem'y, and after five days of ardent practice, the squad was diminished to nine players. Not only does Mr. OlLeary boast of producing lust yeufs Greater Cincinnati League Tennis Champions, but he even predicts another title for the coming season. Besides being the championship team of last year, they completed a perfect season without having been scored against in any of their matches. After the squad was cut, Tom Schmidt, 21 member of last yeurk team, was unanimously elected captain. There is no doubt but that he will prove 1.0 be an excellent lender due to his quite Em resslve record of last year. Since he never lost a match in all competitions, it is certain that he, together with his cohorts. will uphold the honor of the Blue and thite. A; Page 102 TOP ROW: BURKE, MILLER. KEHOE.

Payc 105 Intra-vMural Bashethall The Noon-day Basketball League 01- 1951 was probably the most successful one ever staged at Xavier High. The purpose of the league is to afford the students with recreation during the noon hour amt to give them the opportunity of participating in intra-mural athletics. The league of the past season more than fulfilled its purpose inasmuch as it created extraordinary enthusiasm and excitement due to the many Close games and the enviable prizes offered to the winning team. The awarding of silver haskethzills t0 the Champions was a new idea in- stituted this year for the first time. The honor, itself, of heing the best CIEISS team in the entire school was enough to induce the players to strive mnre earnestly and to exert that final ounce of energy for victory. Never before had the championship been won by a sophomore team, but this year, 2 B after a hard struggle, managed to come out on top and it was awarded the prize. The equality of the teams in all grades was the striking feature of every game. Toward the end of the season the games became so thrilling and the interest so great that every noon the gym was tilled to capacity. The equality of the teams is shown, tirst of all, by the tact that Sophomores anti juniors finished in high places, and secondly, that three Classes, 2 B, 5 A, and 4 A, although they led the league, were each beaten by one of the lower ranking teams. An accurate account ofevery game was recorded by Joe Klopp, and according to his report, Weingarter led the league in the total number of points scored. Many thanks are due to the four members of the varsity basketball team who gave their services as referees and who deserve thanks for the splendid work. The four referees were Morrie Gerwe, Snitz Schneider, Jim Hussey, and Tom Schmidt Senior Division ChampsaClass 2 Bisquad: Pye, Streuter, Doyle, Burke, Shannoni Iunior Division Champsiaass 1 BeSquad: Brehm, O'Leary, Robers, Egner, Bricking, WenzeL All-American Conference ChamPSeTitaHSeSquad: W7einig, Weimer, Vetter, Murphy, Luschek.
