DL uru tit'Ut 1944 ’ ear <=s4_/l taru , To us, Catholic Central means much more than a name. It means an association with ideals. It means friendship. It means an understand- ing that builds love for teachers and studies. But more than all of these, it means love of God. The Catholic spirit is plainly seen at Mass in the morning and at the Chapel at noon. Here, six-hundred students come to learn Catholicity in its true meaning. For four long years we gather here; then suddenly those years seem like four short days and we are graduating. From now on our paths separate. Some of us will go on to college, others will choose the business world, and some of us will go into the armed services. But we will all be together in our memories of Central and in the furthering of our ideals. CAT - Most Reverend John F. Noll, D.D., L.L.D., Bishop of Fort Wayne Official head of administration of Catholic Central. 2W; ica tion We, the editors of the Marquette, and the Senior Class of 1944, dedicate this, the tenth annual edition of the Marquette, to our devoted parents who have given us this opportunity to become spiritually, and mentally, fine Catholic Youth. ^Jhe < Jacu(h L J Sister M. des Victoires Sister M.

As Freshmen we were shy and a bit awkward, but then before we knew it, things were running smoothly and we found ourselves deemed ''promising'' for our work in the annual Freshman Play "The Empty Room''. Then, there was the Christmas Party. It really gave us a feeling of being "in". We wanted to prove ourselves then and did! We worked like mad for the Bazaar and we were proud because Pat Man- ion became Vice-President of the Mission Crusade. We gained poise and weren't quite so fearful of Seniors our Sophomore year. Why, they weren't so high and mighty; we'd get there yet! And there were Freshmen ■e could consider greener than ourselves. That helped a lot! We had a hand in all activities, too. Jan Baranowski and Marge Sullivan helped earn for "Don't Take My Penny" the high acclaim it received. Lots of us joined the Choral Club, Band and Or- chestra that year, too, and we were well represented in the field of athletics. Juniors— and upper-classmen! What a thrill! Why, we kidded with Seniors as tho' 'd known 'em all our life. Then came one of our greatest thrills — being allowed to take over the school paper and of keeping for it the place of honor it had won. We were fast-moving now, dauntless. Tom Dean played one of the leading roles in our school Operetta and many of us were in the Chorus. Junior B. sponsored a Canteen Dance and both boys and girls were well-established in sports. Best of all, we were allowed to make arrangements for the Junior-Senior Prom ... a privilege reserved only for Juniors. Now as Seniors we have reached our ultimate goal. We have arrived. As al- ways, we have stepped far out in the lead and stayed there. In the Tri-Opus Club, in the Operetta, Band and Orchestra, in all we have attempted, we have proved ourselves true leaders. But, we've had our chance and we've made good, so now with deepest regret, but sincerest confidence we cede our place of honor to the new Seniors. n Our CL, Offi icerA Senior A From Left To Right — Pres.

And it might have been only last week that the Hi-Life Staff was so painstakingly selected. William McMillen was our representative in the C.S.M.C. and we were proud, too, of Tom Halton and Jack McDonough who wrote the words for the school's basketball song. Besides this, thirty-three of us sang in the Choral Club, one hundred and two were active in the Tri-Opus, while in sports, thirteen of us were on the football squad and six of us were on the basketball varsity. And now as we leave for another summer vacation we are filled with an inner glow of satisfaction with our junior year. I. Alger J. Alishio D. Atkinson J. Austgen J. Bazar J. Beiriger E. Beiriger K.

A number of them were accepted into the Choral Club and several boys were on the football team. When the basketball season opened, the sophomores were right on the job. Frank Paunicka represented us on the Varsity and there were four sophomores in there plug- ging for our "B" team. The sophomore girls contributed four teams to the school basketball league and quite a number of our girls were considered as varsity material. In the annual operetta our class was well represented with Jeanette Patterson play- ing one of the leads and eleven other sophomores in the singing and dancing choruses. The sophomores uncovered their hidden talents for the Freshman-Sophomore Amateur Show, which was held in April.

We entertained the school with our antics on Freshman Initiation Day. There were various shades of clothing worn, all green!! Our Freshman Christmas parties were ever so much fun and they helped us all to get acquainted with one another. And last, but not least, we really went all out for the Tri-Opus Sophomore-Fresh- man Amateur Show in April. If the next three years are anything like this last one, you can really see why we are waiting for them so eagerly. J. Adams R. Augustine A. Bajusz E. Bader I. Barlog V. Barlog H. Benacka D.

Each has raised us a step higher on the ladder leading to the accomplishment of our ideals. Each activity has furthered our interests in the school and in each other. Each, likewise, helped us prepare ourselves for our ture and inevitable battle with life. And for all these things we will ever be indebted. o o WotLr’s CU Top row, left to right: Mrs. T.

Dear Diary, We are exceptionally proud of Catholic Central's Mother's Club because it has con- tributed the stimulating influence so essential in making this school year a successful one. In place of the annual bazaar, the Mother's Club sponsored a number of smaller activities. The first venture of the year wcs a Silver Tea on October twentieth, after which a series of successful card parties were held. Under the leadership of energetic officers, the club has sponsored many other activities including the Shower for the Sisters, the Senior Breakfast, parties for the students, and the menu for the Athletic Ban- quet. The following officers have made it possible to conduct these activities: Mrs. T. Hayes Mrs. T. Halton Mrs. F. Doyle Mrs. F. Dixon Mrs. J. Dalton Mrs. W. Knauss Mrs. G. Martin Mrs. R. M.

Carris Dear Diary, As we look in upon the Men's Club, we see Mr. Floyd Dean presiding as President; Mr. Raymond Austgen as Vice President; and Mr. Mitchell Carris as Secretary-Treas- urer. The men, during a very active year, sponsored the sale of season basketball tickets. They also helped solve the transportation problem by supplying cars to take the basketball team to out of town games. The Men's Club sponsored the Annual Athletic Banquet on February 16 with Ed- ward McKeever of Notre Dame as the guest speaker. The officers wish to thank everyone for their splendid cooperation during the past year. Dear Diary, This year the Tri-Opus Club has sponsored many activities. One hundred ninety- four members entered the National Catholic High School Typing Association. During the six years' membership in this Association, we have three times been winners of trophies. The Education Committee has spnsored several typing contests within the school. The bookkeeping class entered a contest sponsored by the Business Education World. Our project this year was the purchase of a Public-Address System for the use of the club. Matinee dances, student mixers, and a mid-year formal were a few of our social events.

Potential news-correspondents, reporters, feature writers! All! With the staff of: Editor Dan Rogers Business Manager Herman Radzwiecki A- rt Virginia Peifer, Robert Pastrick our school paper, the Hi-Lite, was edited and distributed. Purely an all-Junior project, it was printed regularly, with Sister M. Sophia super- vising the literary section, and Sister M. Ivan managing the technical department. Maintaining Catholic and literary principles in every edition, it received recognition from the Catholic Press Association. During the two years in which the Hi-Lite has been a member of the Catholic Press Association, it has received All-Catholic Honors. Cheat CU Dear Diary, There was music in the air, once again, as sixty -three music-loving boys and girls met in September to form Central's Choral Club. Under the patient and steady hands of Father Junk and Sister Sophia the choristers were able to present many musical programs throughout the year. The Chorus made the Christmas program one of the best in years by the singing of beautiful Christmas Carols. 1st row — left to right: A. Eads, R. Clifton, P. McLaughlin, E. Fuss, J. Bresnahan, G.

Dear Diary We band members are really proud cf ourselves this year. Why, after a series of short but effective practices, we really hit the notes. At C.C.H.S.'s first home foot- ball game we marched in full array and provided music for the entertainment of all. We also had our hand in several assemblies. The one sad note was the departure cf Mr. Sarvello — but, as with every loss, there was a gain. We now boast of a new bandmaster, Father Muresan, who is responsible for the success we enjoyed this year. Standing— left to right: J. Zimmerman, R. Julian, J. Nondorf, P. Wirtz, M. Schumacher, Rev.

Mysterious castles, subdued lights, silhouetted medieval em- blems— King Arthur himself would have been completely at ease. We even boasted of a gallant knight in armor which turned out to be Robert Pedroza. The music was furnished by Central's own Tom Dean and his orchestra and everyone had an ex- ceptionally good time. Formal, flowers, and fun our receipt for the evening. The very capable prom chairmen were Ted Lebryk and Rita Hoover, while ingenious decorations were furnished by Jim Cloghessy and Robert Pedroza. Dear Diary, The annual operetta, presented by our Choral Club on December 6 and 7, "Betty Lou, the Dream Girl", was a tuneful story of villainy, family problems, mystery, love, and humor, ably directed by Father Junk and Sister Mary Sophia. The cast of the pro- duction was as follows: Anita McGuire played Betty Lou, a charming young lady who masqueraded as a nine-year-old girl when her mother threatened to marry her to a rich but middle-aged bachelor. Jeannette Patterson portrayed Mrs. Pendleton, her slightly bird-brained step-mother. Tony Pendleton, her brother, was played by Tom Lynch, and Lola, his pretty wife, was played by Jean Bresnahan. Bee, Bab, Jack, and Joe were a group of Betty Lou's young friends who were played by Virginia Peifer, Rita Ryska, Frank Ciszczon, and Matt Kerger. Mel Donnelly portrayed Worthington Brooks, a handsome fugitive from justice, who conspired with Annie, the maid, played by Frances Bolek. Donald LaMere, as Mr. Lane, played Santa Claus to the Pendleton family. The eight girls who brightened the performance with their sprightly dancing were: Alberta Bowman, Valarie Klein, Kay Cuff, Mary Jane Murray, Pat Usher, Joan Smith, Jean Nondorf, and June Marshall. The singing chorus which formed the musical background for the singing of the leading players was composed of the members of the Choral Club. This presentation of "Betty Lou, the Dream Girl", scored for the Choral Club another musical success worthy of unlimited acclaim. Left to right: A. McGuire, F. Bolek, M. Donnelly, D. La Mere, P.

These festivities put us all in the mood for the two-weeks vacation which followed. Dear Diary, As we turn back the leaves of our diary, we recall the pleasant memories of a most successful and colorful athletic season. Let these thoughts linger as a joyous recollection to those who leave us and let them be inspirations to those who will return. We find that the various services have claimed many of our previous stars. Some, who undoubtedly would have made the season more suc- cessful, joined the armed services to star brilliantly in roles circling the entire globe. But now let's recall the results of the fighting sons and daughters of Central. Coach Robert J. Duax Dear Diary, We salute Coach Robert Duax (who may be saluting very soon himself) for his splendid job in guiding the teams to their ultimate goal. After graduating from St. Joseph's College where he led the Pumas as captain for two years, the Coach took over the reins at Central. He began building up a team that has now sparkled forth with talent on the cage court. He adjusted a style of play according to his material. His versatility in surprising the enemy with various types of offensive and defensive strategy moved our scores to new heights. For his successful work in this cause we extend our most warm and sincere ap- preciation. n i onotjrcim First row — Coach Duax, J. Bixeman, A. Hodor, R. Ciszczon, E. Jablonski, M. Kerger, M.

A scrappy lightweight team represented Central in the year's football spotlight. The team, considerably outweighed in every game, did not know the meaning of sur- render. Although the record was not impressive in terms of victories and defeats, the players were more than successful in impressing their followers with their undying spirit. Engaging some of the best teams in the district, the team proved capable of holding its own. Team Tolleston Rensselaer Lowell Griffith Hammond High .... Washington Hobart Roosevelt (Gary) ..

Central's Basketball Song When Central High goes dribbling down that floor, We're going to do our best to raise that score; And for the blue and gold we'll fight, fight, fight, And for the blue and gold we'll fight with all our might. Oh yes, we'll fight, fight, fight in every gym, We'll hit that rim, we'll sink 'em in. We'll bury all our opponents with that score, We'll fight, fight, fight. 56 2,-iUA incf 2 , own Dear Diary, Coach Robert Duax used the unusual speed of a well-knit team in devising a fast break which became the scourge of the district. Offensively built around Frank Ciszc- zon, Edward Jablonski, and Matt Kerger, the team was among the highest scoring in the state. Steve Bolanowski and Frank Paunicka, who controlled rebounds off both backboards, rounded out the first five. But close behind were reliable substitutes who kept the regulars fighting for their positions. Leading these were Tom Dalton, Tom Lynch, Tom Halton, Mike Spiegel, Steve Zabrecky, and Dan Orlich. The team, per- haps the greatest yet to represent Central on the court, has many members returning next year. With heavy hearts the cage team shed their uniforms after the quarter-final contest in the district's sectionals — heavy not only because of defeat, but also because it ended a season. Those who had represented the blue and gold for the last time were re- luctant to give them up.
