It is a department intended to fit the individual participant for his place in life's endeavor. We hope coming years will add to the teacher personnel, thus giving time and ade- quate provision for the departments outside the R's. ------------o----------- On St. Xavier's Day the Sopho- more Class presented The Red- Headed Step-Child, a three-act com- edy. Splendid ability was shown by the members of the cast and they played to an appreciative audience. ----------o---------- ’I lie Christmas program was giv- en by the pupils of tin grade school. Tradition dictates that the tinv tots take care of the Christmas entertain- ment. The program consisted of dia- logue-.. one act playlets and tableaus. The little folks' efforts were well re- ceived by many pleased patrons. Senior Class Play By Catherine Lynch The Senior class presented their class play, “And Home Came Ted to an attentive, near-capacity audience in the high school auditorium. A high school orchestra under the direction of Mr. Phillip Olsson, opened the program promptly tit 8 o’clock. They likewise furnished selections which were thoroughly enjoyed by the audience, between acts of the play. The old favorite, Danny Boy, as always, seems to have the power of stirring deepest emotions. This was acclaimed by the cheers of the audi- ence. To single out any one character and say he was the l est would In a task equal to Paris' decisions: Which was the fairest of the goddesses.” Each individual player impersonated the given character sympathetically and realistically. Aunt Jubilee, portrayed bv Ruth Healey, was in character the whole evening and her vocabulary merited warm applause. Jack Healy in the role of a law- yer. Jim Rvker, was a near-perfect impersonation. His audience with bated breath followed him as he robbed a safe, thus securing his rightful property. But catching him in the act. a really meritorious deed, was ably done by M’ollie Macklin. Jo Ann Schmidt, who likewise remained in true char- acter throughout the play. The “socialites” portrayed by Rosemary Comstock. Aileen Dithrop and Betty Lou Conover, ran true to form. Not for a moment did the audi- ence see them out of character. Into the hearts of the audience walked the bride and groom, Mar- garet (irant and Carnot Bellinger. Their first day of married life was indeed a trying one and we were glad to have “stern papa,’’ portrayed by M illiam Meyers, help them untangle the criss-cross threads. 1 he mystery man of the evening, Man. very pleasingly impersonated l v John Tullv. was the suspense of the evening. In tin closing scene we were relieved to find him the real “led (Jilmore who really came home. Organizations C. Y. C. Officers President .............................Jack Ilealy Secretary..........................F Ann Schmidt Vice-President ................... Carnot Bellinger The C. Y. C. Under the leadership of our Bishop, to whom we have dedicated I e Souvenir, the Catholic Youth of the Concordia diocese were organized last fall. The organization is purely diocesan and in its first year of life has accomplished much. The various basketball teams rounded out a very successful season. There were ups and downs, naturally expected, but despite the more “downs than usual—down even in the ditch— the Ranis gave a good account of themselves. If you don’t believe it. take a look at the latest trophy in our new trophy case. The various committees of St Xavier's ('. Y. C. were ambitious to lead wisely. Possibly the mission committee which sponsored all the “money-making activities of the or- ganization deserves the palm. The first year, the beginnings of any undertaking, � s the most vital. So. we have felt, it is with the C. Y. C. Next year we’ll hope for bigger, bet- ter things. The diocesan rally at Con- cordia was the culmination of the year. More than 85 per cent of the St. Xav- ier's units were in attendance. History of St. Francis Xavier’s Editor’s Note: I'll following theme appeared in the Kansas Register, school edi- tion, but is reprinted here in the hope it may be of use to future gen- erations as reference material. For the Itcginning of St. Xav- ier's school we go back to the year 1871. Toward the end of 1867 the Reverend Father Fogarty had come to .(unction City as its first resident pastor, the first in tlie present diocese of Concordia. Leafing through the files of the .(unction City Daily Un- ion we discover that on June 3, 1868, Bishop Meige administered the Sac- rament of Confirmation in the Saint Francis Xavier parish which at that early day boasted of fifty families. In the fall of 1871 the Reverend Father Scholl replaced Father Fog- arty. This zealous priest realized that if Catholicity was to remain a per- manent part of the plains a parochial school was necessary. Horn of that zeal, supplemented by the heroism and sacrifices of the Catholic laity and cradled in the knowledge that God would bless tbe work, the present Saint Xavier's parochial school took its place in Catholic life. In a school room 20 by 20 at- tached to the frame Church already in existence the first pupils of Saint Xavier's were guided along the edu- cational route by one Miss Mary Mc- Donald who was also the first parish organist. Lay women continued for yens to lie the teachers in Saint Xav- ier's. They labored with all the lov- ing fidelity of the Veronicas who fol- lowed in the footsteps of the Perfect Teacher. They gave to the cause of Catholic education the supreme gift— themselves. God blessed the gift and Saint Xavier's prospered. Love and sacrifice are the keys that always open the storehouse of God’s blessings. Only this year from our Church was buried one of those early heroines, Miss Marcella Naehtman. We. the present students of Saint Xavier’s, were privileged to attend her funeral and sing the requiem high Mass. Noble lay women continued to teach in Saint Xavier’s until the fall of 1606. Pastors came and went; changes were inevitable, but the par- ochial school was a permanent insti- tution. In September, 1006, under the pastorate of Reverend John O’Brien of sainted memory three Sisters of St. Joseph came to Junction. From that initial Faculty of three the number has grown to the present eleven. From 1006 until 1018 Saint Xavier's was a parochial grade school. During those year's the enrollment increased by leaps and bounds. Teachers came and went. The one who possibly remained the longest and whose influence is still felt is Sister Bernard, the pres- ent grade school supervisor. Her name is still a benediction in the homes of Junction City. Successful men and women remember her with gratitude. The need of a high school became imperative and under conditions that would deter many a staunch heart (World War days) Father O’Brien launched the campaign for a com- plete new school building. His people matched him in zeal and courage and the present Saint Xavier’s is the re- sult of that cooperation. The building begun in 1018 was ready for occu- pancy in September, 1010. During the year 1018-1010 the first class of high school was taught in the present sacristy by Sister M. Stanislaus who died in the year 1035. Under her ex- pert guidance Saint Xavier's high school was off to a good start. She was a past master in organization and some of the precedents slie started are still the traditions of the school. The enrollment of that year was Is. It has since reached the nnmher of .ST. While the building was in the process of construction. Father O'- Brien went to Ireland to see his dying mother. In his absence Sister Ber- nard. ably aided by some of the parishoners. notably Mr. I M. Hickey, carried on the work, though it seemed a super-human task. Those who gave liberally to the furnishing of the school were Mr. and Mrs. dames Brice. Mr. Thomas Ho- gan. Mrs. Patrick Doyle, Mr. Chaun- ccy Dewey. Mr. and Mrs. George Caspar. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dunne, and the Altar Society. The first graduating class of the year 1921 consisted of three boys, who had had high school training in other schools. To these Seniors the Juniors dedicated the first year book. These books were hand-made and typed by the Commercial class. Anna May Dillon illustrated the pages of the books with pen and ink sketches. These year books are the source of our information about the early days of S. X. H. s. An excellent commercial course was offered and of the eight students, six came from other schools to obtain this training. This popular course has increased each year and the school has several national awards to its credit. From the very beginning the stu- dents edited a school paper, at first known as St. Xavier's News and later becoming The Xaverian.” Be- ginning in 1918, book drives were car- ried on to obtain volumes of refer- ence and supplementary work which formed the basis of the present li- brary. It has l een the custom of each graduation class to present something to their Alma Mater. The first Sen- iors gave the statue of St. Thomas Aquinas, patron of the high school: and succeeding classes have followed the tradition. We, the present students of St. Xavier's desire to express our appre- ciation and gratitude to those whose unfailing zeal and loyalty made pos- sible our years in this school. Joining those who have gone before we lift our voices in the chorus of the school's song. Alma Mater—S. X. II. S. carry thy banne rliigh ! S. X. H. S. long may the colors fly! Loyal to thee they chil- dren will swell the cry, Hail. Hail. Hail, Alma Mater.” —Carnot Bellinger. '40. Athletics Hams of 1939-’40 League Games DECEMBER 15 Rams Defeat Beloit—Win First Game, 2t -21 St. John’s, Beloit, fell l efore an inexperienced St. Xavier's squad, 20- 21. St. Xavier’s led all the way and pulled away from a slim lead in last few minutes. Saunders with 8 points, McCormick with 14 points, high men. Moritz, Hartshorn, and Thompson make up a letter than expected team for the coming games. JAM ARY 5 Rame Lose to Concordia, 27-7 St. Xavier's lose to a somewhat strong Concordia five but the Hams were unable to use their regular start- ing five throughout the contest. Saunders, only regular player, was high man with 0 points. The second team in the game were unable to halt this attack and proved poor opposi- tion. JAM KY 6 Tipton Defeat Rame, 23-18 Height means a lot on a team ami this is just what Tipton had over the Hams. It was a rough battle all the way and the Hams never in the lead throughout the content. Saunders and McCormick were high men with i points each. JAM AKY 12 Aurora Is Defeated, 27 14 The Hams settling down to good hard playing outclassed their rivals of Aurora. 27-14 in a rather slow but hard played game. 'I he Hams grab- lied the lead and hung on to it. Mor- itz had s and McCormick 11 points to lead the victors. JAM AKY 1« Kain Will Oter Manhattan. 18-16 The St. Xavier's Hams sailed over the Crimson tide of Sacred Heart and won a close game. 18-115. I he Hame were in no real danger until the list minute of the game when the Manhattan hoys liegan closing in. Hartshorn was high man with 7 points. JAM AKY 28 Manhattan Victory, 21-12 St. Xavier's and M a n h a 11 a n crossed paths again and this time Manhattan the winner by a score of 21-12. The floor was slippery and hte Hams were unable to stand on their feet. McCormick was leading scorer with 8 points. JAM AKY 2.'. Tipton Repeats Oier Rains. 8 !-31 It is pretty hard for a small team to beat Tipton on their small court but the Rams battle them even up until the last 3 minutes when Tipton pulled out in front. McCormick and Saunders were again high scorers with 17 and 5 points, respectively. Moritz. Hartshorn and Thompson were again the passing stars. JAM AKY 2« Beloit Kotristers a Win, 50-26 Playing fast ball after a tough game the night before spelled defeat at the hands of Beloit. The Hams were unable to keep the steady and past pace up. All five of the men plaved their hearts out on this trip and were game even in defeat. FKBKlAKY 5 Concordia Defeated in Slow Game, 19-16 The St. Xavier's Rams played slow ball and seemed not to be afraid of Concordia and therefore coasted to a 19-1(5 victory. Concordia attempted to stage a winning rally in the last minutes but was unable to catch up. FEBRIARY 6 Aurora Loses In Fast Game, 87-25 The St. Xavier's Rams grablied a 9-point lead and then battled Au- rora on even terms for the remainder of the game to win 37-25. The score at the half was 20-1-4. McCormick scored 28 points and Thompson 7 to capture scoring honors. FKBKIAKY 13 Manhattan Wins, 20-19 February 13 was another ball game lost to Manhattan. After battle all the wav. the Manhattan team fin- a 11 v lifted 2 free throws through to cinch the game. The score at the half was 10-10. McCormick was high man with Saunders and Moritz close l - hind. FKBKIAKY 16 Rains Tromp Aurora, 53-18 With McCormick setting a new record with 40 points, the St. Xav- ier's Rame ran a 53-18 score over Au- rora. The Hams were behind 9-2 at the first part of the game but soon made up for it to lead 21-13 at the half. FKBKI AKY 28 Tipton In Overtime, 42-40 With a 42-40 game it had to be fast. Tipton height made them the favorites but the Rams just about hutted the apple cart over. Tied 40-40, Tipton scored first in overtime. Mc- Cormick was high man w ith 23 points and Saunders made 10 points. --------o------- C. Y. C. Tournament MARCH 12-13 Rams Defeat Aurora at the Tourney; Uain Itye, Right To Do to Hauls St. Xavier's, paced by McCor- mick with 22 points, gained a decisive victory over Aurora, 35-13. The Rams led at the half 14-1. Moritz played a very good defensive game. The Rams were lucky to receive a bye to the fin- als where they were to meet Beloit. The accident of the trip to the first five had no effect on them in the game but had them plenty nervous before the game. Beloit defeats Rams; Lack of Suits Cost Tourney, Bow 37-21; Tied tl-AII at Hall'. St. .John's, Beloit, gained first place in the tournament bv defeating St. Xavier's. 37-21. St. Xavier's played fast ball and could only keep their five men plugging away for three quarters where they stopped, ex- hausted. Beloit had a slight edge at this point. Saunders out on fouls cost the Rams 8 points as the sub got the wrong man and the Rams called time, (retting straightened out at this time was too late, and Beloit coasted into victory. ------o--- Personals Playing his first year on the first team. Captain Ilartxhorn was a great help. His height helped get the ball and his baskets were the main stay of the team when the forwards were cold. 11 is own main game was against Manhattan. He is a senior. Also on� of the team for the first year. Edgar Jauntier was a consist- ent scorer for the team. His swift- ness fooled many a guard. He starre 1 in all games and had Beloit for his main one. He is a sophomore. Sub for the second team as a freshman and regular second string as a soph, but failing to be another sub in his junior year, ltay Moritz battled his way to a first team berth. He played bang-up ball and starred at the Aurora game. He showed his ability to play when he starred at the tournament. Playing his third year on the team and his second regular vear. John .1 ■('onnick carried away scor- ing honors. His favorite game was at Aurora. A freshman and center of the Ruins, Bernard Thorn-peon played regular. He lacked experience, but will pick it up in veal’s to come. He starred in the Aurora game and did swell guarding in the tourney. ieorge Breen played a little on the first team but will be back next year to trv and fill the only vacant spot left by a senior. Breen is a junior. II uhert Dixberger, a freshman, made his appearance as a sub guard. He will la back next year, so watch him with the first team. I'arnot Bellinger, a senior, started kind of late for basketball but made a good sub for the team. His fight and courage kept him close to the team. The following boys composed a Boiler.

McCormick, Mr. Norman Johnson, the Rep Club, and the Ro- tary Club. IDe Appreciate h h h Plus the appreciation of the efforts of our parents, our pastors and our teachers we feel there are a few others to whom we owe a great deal. In every group, it seems, there are some out- standing folk who take the lend, and bear the bur- dens of the heat and the day.” Such a leader we have found in Mrs. K. Brandage. We call her our fairy godmother. Such she truly is. for in any endeavor of school activity she wields her fairy wand (that wand meins hard work for her) and—- presto—success is ours. Mrs. Bramlage, when thanked, smiles that motherly smile and says: “I never could do it without my good helpers. She means Mrs. Lena Hartshorn. Mrs. Mary McAleese and Mrs. Ray McMannamon. Wasn't there a tradition built up around a group of four once upon a time? We know them—the “Famous Four Horsemen” of Notre Dame. Well—we think our “foursome” should be The Four Valiants.” They are the liv- ing impersonation of the Valiant Women of Scrip- ture. Their number is not legion. Therefore to the-e the Four Valiants” of St. Xavier's we voice our deep and lasting gratitude. —The Students of St. Xaxier's. “By cfheir Fruits The students whose names have appeared oil the scholastic year are: GOLI� NT AH ROLL FIRST HONORS Freshmen Rosemary Walker Francis Never Robbie Thompson Frank Bcnkosky Anita Ray Walker Monica Rohrer Ruth Healey Sophomores Rosemary Roller Albert Bellinger Edgar Sanders Frances Grentner Pat Roller Juniors Catherine Lynch Kathleen Gallagher Seniors Jo A nn Schmidt Aileen Lathrop Mary Etta Ray Rosemary Comstock 11 the honor rolls during HONORABLE .MENTION Etta May Roller Rarbara Adair Clifford Smith Esther Feist David Law Retty Breen Cecilia McCormick Larry Leonard Mary Hudspeth John Doyle Mary McGuire William Meyers Margaret Grant Agnes Hager M am ine Meseke Helen Langvardt Post Graduate Autographs Our Patrons = Salutations to and Appreciation of Those IDithout whose Aid Le Souuenir would still be Dreams and not Reality r- Where We Shop Allen’s Market Anderson’s Bolman Mercantile Bramlage Brown Electric Castleman Chastain’s Citizen’s Building Loan Assn.

And also that the better part of them prefer to play at Aurora. I will not fro into detail and give a lot of excuses and reasons for they all center around the telephone man's daughter. She is one. if not the only, attraction that not a single one of the players missed. Although Aurora has many interesting views, including the telephone man's daughter, it seems as though we were always there on Fri- day. Thus we had our choice of any kind of soup from pea soup to turtle soup. This soon became old and the players felt as though they should have something stronger to eat or drink. Their search however was in vain. Then there is the story of one that tried to forget it was Friday, but met defeat when he asked a Catholic waiter of a Catholic cafe of a Cath- olic town for one little hot dog and was reminded that he shouldn't eat it on such a day. lie excused himself by saying he had forgotten. Another well known person who went over in a big way with the play- ers is the little girl in Tipton. To this day I do not know her name, but she is known by the fighting famous five as the girl in the red dress.

(Downstairs they called it the Light-headed Brigade! ) However, once arrived, these new freshmen at- tempted to appear calm and quiet— feeling all the while deliciously su- perior to all onlookers, but uncomfort- ably dumb to themselves! But. never- theless. they—or shall I say we?— were “freshies!” Maybe green, and unquestionably ignornant. but still “frosh! Wluit a thrill! What a life! I ll-hull! What a life—when called upon to answer a seemingly puzzling question! But. we. being brave ‘•fresh- ies. faced tin day bravely and swal- lowed the bait. And then did we floun- der! Finally, humiliated, we sat down, snared by the intricacies of why lx plus lv equals 2xy (it does, doesn't it?) However, being bright, we soon passed out of this ungainly stage and into one of sheer wit and sophistica- tion (Ahem!) But we couldn’t un- derstand why upper classmen called us “sophs.” We weren't soft at all. Of course, occasionally, when a junior or senior wanted to borrow something, or copy a geometry problem, or wear our bracelets, or help us eat our candy, or something else, we always let them, because we didn’t like to be rude, and then—well, after all. we were sopho- mores! But just the same, we weren't soft! No. sir! Not one bit! Being juniors was wonderful! But surely, we were never so uncouth and sappy as those silly sophies! Heav- ens. no! And those “freshies!” Boor THE REXALL STORE Stationery, Cigars Everything Electrical Candies Complete Line of Toilet Articles Brown Electric Volz Drug Company MID-QIIN WHOLESALE AND PRODUCE CO. things—but they might outgrow that linin'-faced look! The seniors have finally begun to notice us—of course, they always did, but, well, they couldn't play favorites in so large a field. The banquet was wonderful! The best ever, naturally! Being jun- iors. we get to do everything right along with the seniors. In some cases, we let the seniore get ahead—just to lie nice, don't you know—so they won't feel badly, but heavens! We never were dumb as they are! And senti- mental ! Why. they even cried on com- mencement night! Such babies! Of course, we didn't tell them all how we felt—so we smiled benevolently, and passed understanding winks at each other. Seniors! l innim. we liked to be called “dignified!” Sometimes, though, the description is slightly misleading! Those poor juniors! They'd feel so inferior—so much more, I mean—if we didn't just let them beat us sometimes! One thing about being a senior—one never has to pay any attention to those greenest of freshmen! Of course, the “sophs” are rather bandy—they almost always have some candy, or something delect- able! Of course, we have to get rough (such a word for seniors!) and rather demanding at times, but they gener- ally let us help them cat. It certainly makes us happy to look back and see that we were never sappy about the upper-classmen! We were smart! Those juniors! As if their little ban- quet could even begin to compare with ours! Of course, we do hate to see them feeling badly—so we rather string 'em along. Commencement is wonderful! It almost—makes us— sniff—want to—sniff—cry! In fact— sniff, sniff—it does!—sniff!
