lt's time to get up. Reveille is played from the top of the hill by the trumpet trio. Sneak Though the iuniors had been watching every move of every senior for weeks, careful planning and in- tricate organization sneaked the seniors away, and by the time the iuniors found out we were missing, we were already on our way to Camp Awana. Camp Awana filled the bill for a perfect sneak site, providing, for our spare moments, swimming, boating, horses, tennis, ping-pong, and squirt guns. And of course there were the hikes around the lake and the hilarious programs both evenings. We'll never forget Bruce Johnson, alias, Bud Hauser, trying to show us a few cars over here or Frank trying to act embarrassed about all his girl friends. The good eats were not the least of the good features about the sneak, and to top everything off, the ride back to Chicago on the Northwestern 400 streamliner made the sneak one of the biggest events of a very big senior year. Frank, Pete and company wash up early in the morning. The girls wander up the hill to breakfast.

Football .-ans. vw-'Y' ' Quarterback Dave Johnson, most 1 valuable player, breaks away for ' yardage against Parker. P l . ' W' -QI ' -x , 'fl 1 in The charging of linemen and the handoff to a fast backfield man, this was the result of hard practices. The Warriors fought, and won, not every game, few teams do that. Hard practice and competition at every position moved the team forward on Sat- urdays. There were a few tough losses, the Latin and St. Procopius games in which the score was tied until the closing two minutes, and the Harvard game where, losing by two touchdowns, we had two called back. Still, the season was one we want to remem- ber. St. Procopius was our first opponent. The game seesawed from one half of the field to the other with mistakes halting our scoring drives. The game wasn't decided until the last minute when they tal- lied the winning touchdown. We opened our conference season against Latin. Before we got set in the first quarter, they had scored. As the second half opened, we took the ball, and with an inspired drive, marched down to the five yd. line where Don Bullock took it for the score. The contest remained a tie until Latin scored on a twenty 92 . ,f ' t ' n ' if - K yard reverse with two minutes remaining in the game. In the Harvard game we were without the ser- vices of quarterback Dave Johnson, but neverthe- less, gained consistent yardage. The Harvard team scored in the first quarter on a runback of an in- tercepted pass and late in the game marched to another score. In the final quarter both Jim Hanchett and Tom Buis caught touchdown passes which were called back on account of penalties. The Parker game really proved the Warriors. We consistently stymied the defending champioin's attack, and we made yardage ourselves in huge chunks. Our first score came very early in the open- ing quarter after a fumble, as Don Bullock charged into the end zone from the eight yard line. Later in the some period, Dave Lindberg picked up a punt and reeled off 70 yards for our second touchdown. The attack again started functioning in the third period as Don Bullock again scored on a short lunge and Warner Von Bergen crossed the goal line from 30 yards out. Dave Johnson finished the scoring in the final period on a 10 yard plunge.
