Another chap- ter in the annals of THS history has been completed. As we look back over the years, we have no regrets because they were perhaps, the happiest and most carefree times of our lives. We will cherish their memory forever. Our heartfelt thanks go to our pastor, our teachers and our friends who have helped to make our high school days so profitable and enjoyable. We realize that their task was not an easy one and we hope to prove to them that their efforts have not been in vain. And to our successors goes the wish that their Senior year will be as happy and fruitful as our's has been. O M ff 'SSQQ zsy5:R..,, w L g? ., . . .3 .gpg .,L-,ff .- -,. .snr Q..

By exhibiting en- thusiasm, cooperation and school spirit they have made a huge success of all their undertakings this year. Their splendid efforts were reflected by two out- standing events, the Intermural Basketball Game and the Junior-Senior Prom. As an extra-curricular activity, to further the name and fame of T.H.S., they have engaged in the sale of War Stamps and Bonds. They indeed are desirable, able, and capable WSen1orN candidates for the coming year. t det , M -Q img . K '- T. 6 new 1 f f X ply ae' es , 54- f. ' i X.

It is to their credit that they displayed such marked ingenuity in sponsoring the Shamrock Shuffle, which was to raise funds for the Senior Breakfast. They have embodied in the school program a fine spirit for unity by their distinctive attendance at all athletic competitions.

In the inaugural table tennis table tournament at Trinity High, which was begun on December 14 and which closed with the finals on January 5, Bob Deneen blonde senior, proved to all that he is without peer in the school and was de- servedly crowned champion. Bob Deneen met Willy Scott in the finals and after faltering in the first game, losing 21 to 13, Bob took the offensive and captured the final two games by scores of 21 to lO and 21 to 8. Bob displayed a sizzling drive throughout the tournament while Scott's serve was especially vicious. Twenty-two boys participated in the Uping-pong get togethern and a large gallery was on hand for all the matches. Interest ran high throughout the school and table tennis proved to be a worthy challenger to basketba1l's popu- larity. It is hoped that this tournament will become an annual event at Trin- ity as it is at so many other schools. vw w will Vxwsii W W 3 u X W ...XV . ' .

CLASS PROPHECY Dear Diary: This fateful morning of April 1, 1959 I read in the headlines that the wife of the aged South American mil- lionaire Ricardo de Marco, was injured in a plane crash. Reading further I thought the name sounded familiar, Mrs. Patricia Carlotta Maria Elena Marchita Gehle de Marco. Yes, it was Pat Gehle my old classmate from Trinity. Of course I went to the hospital to see Pat. She was sur- prised to find that I was a Lieutanant in the Navy Nurse Corp, Lt. Eleanore Hunt Breckenridge married to Lt. Com- mander H. J. Breckenridge. We laughed together at how our lives had turned out and then began comparing notes on lives of our classmates. George Hoffman reigns king of the Latin lovers on the silver screen in the Argentine, and Marilyn Jean Smith is heading an expedition in the South American jungles. Smitty and her very able assistant, the renowned Dr. Kate O'Rourke are still on the trail of the elusive little gremlins. The newspaper featured today a page of pictures on the new swoon craze--Joe Brady. He has popularized knee- socks, French ties, and the peek-a-boo hair-do. In the theater section of the New York paper we were surprised to learn that Donald Te Voert was co-starring with Chris- tina Leslie in uThe Barber of Sevillen on the stage at the Metropolitan: Also that Betty Ebo is star of the current revival of nCarmen Jonesn on Broadway. According to the theater gossip section Anne Kearney recently mar- ried the Hungarian Baron Pereniy. Anne is the current sensation of musical comedy on the Parisian Stage. Pat had intended to buy her new summer wardrobe at Edward Hogan's Super Select Salon where he employs Rose- mary Neirynck as his head model. The headliners in the circus to be held at Madison Square Garden next week are the Whirling Wolves---Robert Benjamin, Jerome Kniery, and James Conroy---tops on the high trapeze. They spend their winter months in their quarters at Benjaminville. Bob holds office as mayor, nTweetn perfects his act, and Jim just rests. ' Harold Julian, genius of the ' class of '44, is famous for hav- ing invented - the much longed for weather control- ler. The main attraction at the Empire Room is the famous dance team of Raphael Sampson Cunningham and Marilyn Delilah Schueth. They are co-starred with nTotterer's Tootersn. Of course the orchestra belongs to Marguerite Totterer and the singer with her band is none other than Joan Petry. nPeten is causing quite a sensation too. Don Moore is play- ing the drums in 'Tott'sn orchestra and is really good. At the new memorial library in Chicago Noreen Fried- wald is head librarian where she has a wonderful job. In Youngstown, Ohio nDot Dooley's Darling Dog Shopn is enjoying great success. Dot is specializing in Irish Set- ters and Russian Wolf Hounds. Cleo Eilene Burger, glamourous blond, is cover girl on this month's edition of the magazine, NFashion Fads and Doo-Dadsn, which is edited by Genny Borders, Genny is turn- ing out a top magazine. There were two pages devoted to the advertisement of diamond rings modeled by the beautiful hands of Mary Helen Young. James Cahill has become a hermit. He resides in the Northern woods where he fishes, hunts, and reads in his quiet abode. Out on the West Coast, Rosie Kimble is Hollywood' s chief gossip columnist, and Betty Kerz is the foreign interpreter for the leading newspaper of Los Angles. In Hollywood Gerry Jabsen is head designer at the Metro lot, and Marg Daleiden is secretary to the President of the Metro studios. Starlet Betty Vogel nas just been elevated to stardom in that forthcoming hit WLa La La Boopn. In Frisco's Social Register one of its outstanding- members is Lady Mary Therese Stone Warburton, a visiting social worker from London. Mary Margaret McKeon is a history teacher at the Uni- versity of Southern California. Denis Mackessy, also on the U.C.L.A. faculty, is now working on his latest best sell- er nWe'll Get Byn, based on personal experience.

While up in Washington, Jim Gang has made quite a suc- cess of himself as a politician. Jim is trying to pass the bill for the establishment of traffic lights and rules for those flying their auto-gyros over the State of Illinois. Joe Spencer is a test pilot for the Cox Aircraft. They have their testing fields at Barnes, Illinois. Bev. Young has invented a new head-ache powder, which has been bought by the Bro-mo-seltzer Company. Carol Jetton holds the position of private secretary to the owner of the Heinz Pickle Company, of 57 varieties. Kathie Hemmele owns a dude ranch near the air base at San Antonio, Texas. The incoming and outgoing B-17's sometimes cause quite a racket, but Kate likes them. Notre Dame boasts one of the best coaches it has ever had in the person of Dick Lenahan, who is turning out ath- letes to equal himself in the old days at T.H.S. Down in New Orleans we have the great Bob Deneen. After years of hard work, struggle, disappointments, dis- illusionment, heart break, and discouragement Bob has final- ly reached the very height of his most desired ambition. He was recently elected President of the Soap Box Orators of America. Rog Donavon is now in Arabia and was recently married to the daughter of the Sultan of Timbudtu. South of the Border is the Carlson Stable run by Marg Carlson. She is the lucky owner of the famous race horse 'Zomb1e'. Mary Schowerer is owner of the largest peach orchard in southern Illinois and this fulfills the ambition she acquir- ed during her last years at T.H.S. Well that takes in all the members of the '44 class. Strange what the years have to offer---would you ever have thought---on N ' well that's lifee Father Raney, although faced with the loss of thirteen seniors, includ- ing eight regulars, did a superb job with the 1945 football team. The '45 Irish eleven was one of the better teams to come out of Trinity in a decade. After losing their seasonal opener to Spalding by a close margin and falling hard to Bloomington in the second contest, Trinity went through their remaining six games undefeated by virtually overpowering their opponents. Washington, Dwight, Morris, Normal, St. Theresa, and University High in turn fell before the smooth offense of the Irish. The highlight of the '45 season was Trinity's victory over the previously undefeated Normal eleven, which gave the Saints a clear title to the Corn Belt Conference flag, with a record of five wins and no losses in league play. Trinity also earned a share of the Intercity Championship, tying with Bloomington and Normal for the honors. The annual football banquet was held at the close of the season, letters were presented to ten seniors, eight juniors, and one sophomore. Dave Cavallo and Bill Gildner were elected co-captains. wmwvg to guide the '44 team. Trinity was again well represented on the hardwood during the 1943-1944 season. Under the fine coaching of Father Haney, the Irish quintet averaged forty points a game in winning nineteen contests while losing only six. The Blue and White met varied opposition in their twenty-five games, but skill in passing, rebounding and shooting by the Saints was responsible for the fall of their opponents. Bloomington High and Spalding of Peoria were each defeated twice, and Normal, three times by the Irish to form the highlights of the season. The success of the Irish quintet can be attributed to the all-around teamwork of the players. The scoring punch of the Saints was supplied by their Captain, Dick Lenahan. He totaled 465 points for the season to cop Intercity scoring honors, and was placed on one of the four all-state teams. Jerome Kniery and Jim Conroy were able guards, proving to be fine passers and alert defensive players. Jim Jeffers did a neat job of rebounding, while Bob Kerr's keen eye for the basket was sorely felt by' the opponents. Roger Donovan was always in there fighting and proved to be a capable sub- stitute. ' Trinity won the Intercity championship with a record of five victories and one loss, and placed fourth in the Corn Belt League by winning five tilts and losing four. The Saints were defeated by Fairbury in the finals of the Chenoa Regional Tournament after overwhelming Chenoa in the opening game and Normal in the semi-finals. The basketball banquet was held in the school cafeteria, April 19. Father Moore was Sv XX M the principle speaker of the evening. Three X seniors, four juniors, one sophomore and the mothers of Jerome Kniery and Jim Jeffers, players now in the service was elected captain of the '44 team and Jim Jeffers was chosen as honorary captain. x. ,wx .
