ha. qootba ll The locale of this story might be Pelham or Oglethorpe or any of the various schools that dot the landscape of this fair country of ours, however, the setting is Cathe- dral High School. After the carefree days of vacation, school had again called the young men and women to the pursuit of knowledge, and with the opening of school came football. The Cathedral team, which we shall call the Pan- thers, started the season with a splash, having the first practice in a very drizzling and wet rain. The rain, however, did not dampen the ardor of the small group of football aspirants, but only helped to accentuate their vigor. The team comprised a group of Irishmen, smat- tered here and there with an occasional Frenchman to add color to the squad. The players were Murphy, Man- ley, Higgins, Flaherty, A. Fitzgerald, Gordon, Strong, G. Fitzgerald, Facette, Bouchard, McGill, Fairbanks, Hayden, Healy, McCarthy, Lyons, and Manager Mc- Donough. After a couple of weeks of practice, the Panthers were ready to engage Two Harbors in the first game of the season. The schoo 5 5 .

They were to Wakefield, Michigan, the coming Saturday with a degree of seriousness that hereto- and were fore had not been so emphatically pronounced. Wakefield, however, deemed to be a foe worthy of her steel, and turned back the invading Cathedralites by a score of 7-0. Harv' Healy, the big thundering guard, was a bulwark of strength in this game, as was G. Fitzgerald, the diminutive end. An amusing incident, which remains very vividly in my mind, occurred during a chalk-talk the week following the Wakefield game. A certain first year man, who was forced to make way for an older and more experienced player, consequently not seeing much action was asked a question by the coach. What would the individual do if the opposition was on his I0-yard line and i1 was first down? The sarcastically alert player answered rather acidlv that he would move farther down the bench so he could see the play more clearly. -This all goes to show that we all have our crosses to hear.

The referee's whistle pierced the calm atmosphere and the season had opened. It was a breath- taking game, with Two Harbors maintaining a lead of four points which it had garnered by two safe- ties. The crowd was electrified, however, in the second half when Fitzgerald caught the kick-off and raced seventy yards for a touchdown.

Yes, there surely is. The ladies recently decided that what our athletics need is a woman's helping hand, therefore they got their busy heads together, elected a president in the well-known Miss Minnie Digle, and forthwith began their preparations for raising money. The other of- ificers are: Mrs. Mildred Shea, Vice-president, Mrs. Devine, Secretary, Miss Irene Dous- seron, Treasurer, and Mrs. R. Chisholm, Press Correspondent. The first wonderful event which was a huge successrby sincere co-operation, was a Sunday night dinner, held on March 2. Knowing the ability of Mrs. R. G. Chisholm, the general chairman, one can readily see why the affair was successful. The dining room, which was packed to capacity was in charge of Miss Digle. Conscientiously assist- ing her were Mrs. Mary Chapman, Mrs. Mildred hea, Irene Dousseron, Cecilia Corcoran, Fay, Addie and Bessie Owens, and Anna Anderson. Of course the High School offered its help too, in the persons of the servers, who included the following: Cecilia Godfrey, Helen Flaherty, Alta Flynn, Margaret Evered, 'jean Quinn, Patricia Boyle, Luella Bruette, Mary jean Weichert, Catherine onway, Marie Hack, Louise Bachand, Florence jackno, Adeline Cronin, Dolores Fleer, Ruth Dolan, Sadie White, Mary Bleyenberg, Cecilia Archambeau, Florence Thede, Virginia Walsh, Amelia Nichols, Anna Wilmot, Dorothy Harrington, josephine Dhooge, josephine Sherman, Mary 'jo Henretty. I Not having enough room for everyone in the dining room, the side rooms were used. ln these rooms, Mrs. james Murphy, Mrs. M. j. Bartelme, Mrs. Margaret Lundgren, Mrs. john Lue, Mrs. james McKenna, Mrs. H Conway, Mrs. j. Manleg rs. S. Cronin, and Mrs. R. E. McKeague served the dinners. In the kitchen Mrs. . Devine was in charge. Those assisting her were: Mrs. E. j. Canfield, Mrs. S. Lapp, Mrs. j.- A. Land- green, Mrs. D. D. Bonner, Mrs. H. j. Mooney, Mrs. A. McGrath, and Mrs. M. Sauter, Sr. The delicious coffee was made by Mrs. O. E. Eby and Mrs. A. Cleary. Even our high school boys did their little bit toward makrng:the dinner success- ful. Those boys whe helped were: Thomas McGill, Don Bradlleiy, elix Hager, Clifford Beauto, Ned McGrath, Henry Chisholm, Vincent Wiles, and john owe. The orchestra is to be commended for the beautiful selections they rendered during the dinner. Mr. M. j. Bartelme collected tickets at the door, and the ladies must admit they could not have done without him. I All in all, the dinner was an undertaking worthy of much praise. With such a beginning the Ladies Athletic Auxiliary cannot but be a success. -sa- ?' 11- . f -1 FTD . NL'ia.j7 q -1 Q

This game was treated in exactly the same manner as was its predecessors: much cheering and many words of encouragement to the team. A surprise was given the Cathedral students the Friday before the game, however, when Tom McGill strode to the stage and addressed the students, much to their joy. The few choice words that were spoken by Mr. McGill were received with tumultous applause and approved by the students. Hurley turned out to be another Tartar and the 'tPanthers had to be satisfied with a 6-6 tie. Flaherty, the Cathedral quarterback, proved to be the lumiuary of the game, when he took a punt in mid-aid and raced 60 long yards for a touchdown. Gordon, Lyons, and Facette proved to be valuable assets ou this day, Spike Gordon and Bud l.yons, by virtue of their hard tackling' and Iohnn'f Facette, by his powerful line -S 1 . J thrusts. This second reversal of expectations took the form of a pall which shrouded the school, and try as it might was unable to cast off this forbidding monster. However, the ' week was not over when the pall disappeared as if unseen hands gently lifted it from its protesting victim, for the Panthers came through with an I8-U victory over Proctor. The game, played on foreign soil, was one packed with iu- numerable thrills. The scintillating ruus of Tommy Hig- gins and 'tRed Fitzgerald, the powerful plunging of Fla- herty, and the air-tight defense of McCarthy and Glen Fitzgerald, were really things of beaut to s ort lovers p . Suiihine again filtered through the halls and class rooms, for the students had new hopes dwelling in their breasts. The daily routine was again taken up, but the burden of studies was somewhat lessened by the THOMAS MANLEY eager anticipation of the game with Duluth Cathedral the following Saturday.
