Ip OLLOW'ING THE OPENING OF THE WAY TO THE NEW WORLD BY CHAMPLAIN, THE FRENCH CAME IN LARGE NUMBERS: SOLDIERS, DARING ADVENTURERS, ENTERPRISING FUR TRADERS AND TRAPPERS. PIOUS PRIESTS AND LAWLESS WOOD RANGERS RUSHED INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CONTINENT WHERE THE FACE OF THE WHITE MAN HAD NEVER BEEN SEEN. (0) NE OF THESE, FATHER MARQUETTE, ASSISTED BY JOLIET, A FRENCH TRADER, TARRIED HERE ON THE DUNES BY THE SHORES OF LAKE MICHIGAN WHILE ON HIS QUEST OF THE MIGHTY RIVER, THE MISSISSIPPI. BECAUSE OF THE MEMORABLE DEEDS OF ONE SO FINE AND BECAUSE OF HIS UNTIRING TEACHINGS THAT WE NAMED OUR YEAR- BOOK IN REMEMBRANCE OF HIM, THE MARQUETTE. Editors : Jerome Kosinse. Ruth DeBOLD Father Marquette, self-sacrificing, zealous, and dauntless priest of God, spent his life laboring for the salvation of souls. Centuries later we find the same characteristics in one who devotes his time to the Christian guidance of youth so that each may find his proper place in the world. In appre- ciation of his efforts, his kindly encouragement, and his priestly office, The Class of 1940 dedicates this sixth annual Marquette to Reverend Alfred J. funk. May he long con- tinue to lead Central on to even greater heights of success. O N BISHOP OF FORT WAYNE MOST REV. JOHN F.

The biggest event of our Freshman year was the Christmas play, At Hathaway’s Christmas Tea, given by a cast of twenty-eight characters. We attacked and overcame scholastic problems, likewise partici- pated in all the school activities. In athletics, too, che Freshmen displayed magnificent school spirit. The victors in the basketball finals were the Fresh- man A girls and C division boys. When our class returned as Sophomores, our newness was gone, and we stepped back to let the new Freshman class stand in the limelight. A few members of the class became radio stars for a day, when on October 3 they broadcast a successful Columbus play. The Penny Supper, sponsored by the sophomore mothers, on December 7, was a financial and social success. The play, Annie Laurie, presented on February 2, was the crowning triumph of the year as six of the major characters were from the Sopho- more class. One of the first acts of our Junior year was the election of officers. Those chosen for presidents that year were Jerome Kosinski in Junior "A,” Martha Brahos in "B,” and Ruth DeBold in "C.” Certain members of the class showed their dramatic ability in presenting two mission programs and taking part in the production of Growing Pains, and The Mys- teries of the Mass. The school paper, The Central Hi-Lite, won new laurels under the leadership of Mary Thomson and Joe Radigan. Eleanor Koch was elected secretary, and Leonard Keilman, treasurer, of the Mission Crusade. The Camera Club, the Band, and the Choral Club, all had representatives from the Junior class.. "Tempus fugit!” Seniors at last! The class officers for our last year were presidents, William Enright and Floward Stephen; vice presidents, Martha Brahos and Mary Thomson; secretaries, Eleanor Koch and Dorcas Fasan; treasurers, Richard Pehulic and John Watson. The boys again took the Northern Indiana Catholic Football Championship. The Seniors were well represented in the Operetta, Anil It Rained, and in The Patsy, while the Senior play, Who Wouldn’t Be Crazy, was likewise a success. We participated in the patriotic programs for Washington’s and Lin- coln’s birthdays. Rosemary Ruff was the able presi- dent of the Tri-Opus Commercial Club, and Leonard Keilman of the Mission Crusade. In April, we made our last retreat at Central. During May, we visited various colleges; and when June came, Senior Week climaxed our activities. Instead of an end, this history is in reality the beginning of the career of this class; when it is ended, many' will sigh and wish for the day's when the class of ’40 traversed the halls of Central.

Three cups were brought back to Central by Jack Hisey who won the Wranglers’ Club Oratorical Contest held at Notre Dame. The year ended with the Juniors showing their social, dramatic, and athletic ability, and with high hopes for a brilliant future as seniors. Dorothy Watters, Bernice Schrepfer JUNIOR ACTIVITIES OF THE PAST YEAR After their return to Central last fall, one of the first acts of the Juniors was the election of officers.

September 7, 1939, Catholic Central was enriched with the addition of 107 freshmen. They proved their loyalty during the year by their participation in the athletic, social, and educational functions of the school. First (in the list of school activities) was the class election. Class presidents were James Gibbs, Bill Schutkovske, and Jack Sweeney; vice-presidents elected were Rosemary Peiffer, Joe Niemiec, and Rose Templeton; secretaries were Eileen Schaeffer, Betty Jo Reis, and Gloria McDonough; treasurers of the class in- cluded Gilbert Wieser, Alvina Hender- long, and Buel Scott. At the gala Christmas party, the Freshmen had the opportunity to be- come better acquainted. Another im- portant event was Christopher’s Candle, R M N the class play presented on December 20. Later in the year, the Freshmen took the dramatic limelight in a short play- let, A Corner for Christ, given as their contribution to the mission meetings. In Central’s initial operetta, were a group of the Class of ’43, with them, Rose Therese Schneider, singing the leading role. The result of the Central Bazaar gave C division of the Freshmen a half-holiday for selling the second highest number of tickets. In the athletic field, Freshmen came to the front with their activities in football, baseball, and particularly in basketball, where one of the class, Jack Dougherty, became a member of the varsity squad.

Pdgr T wen ty- nine ORGANIZATIONS Justin Beggs Robert Schmal Mary Virginia Connelly Marie Calvey ALUMN I The Alumni Association appropriately began their successful year on October the 29th when they did their part in making the Homecoming an enjoyable and memorable event. Continuing their success, the Christmas Formal on December the 26th, attracted many students and friends of the school. Again, Alumni cooperation was shown on Family Day, an event of January the 14th, the first major event of the new year. The next "feather in the Alumni cap,” a roller skating party at the Palace Roller Rink on January the 24th, was a "bruise” to many, but fun for all. On March the 29th, the first Spring Formal ever undertaken by the Alumni, at the Marquette Pavilion near the Dunes, was a promise for such future events. A lasting tribute to Mothers, both living and dead, was the third annual Communion-Mass celebrated in the Sisters’ Chapel on Mother’s Day. Later, breakfast was served in the cafeteria. A final tribute to the Class of 1940 was the annual Senior- Alumni Banquet. The Alumni took this opportunity to welcome the 1939-1940 seniors, and to extend to them the invitation to take part in and to enjoy their future activities. Congratulations to you, Alumni, and may your ability, spirit, and loyalty live forever!

During this past year, the Mothers’ Club has sponsored many important activities, such as: The Sisters’ Shower, November 18; the Family Day Dinner, January 14; the Library Tea, February 25; a card party, December 8, the proceeds of which were used to purchase altar linens; and the movie, Abraham Lincoln, shown at assembly. They also gave a party for the Tag Day, Family Day, and Banquet helpers, and successfully managed the Miscellaneous, Beauty Salon, and Refreshment Booths at the Bazaar. The officers are: Mrs. O’Keefe, president; Mrs. Smith, vice-president; Mrs. Schilling, secretary; Mrs. de St. Aubin, treasurer; Mrs. Smith, senior vice-president; Mrs. Joyce, junior vice-president; Mrs. McShane, sopho- more vice-president; Mrs. Germic, freshman vice-president. Dorothy Hod or Page Thirty-three MEN'S CLUB As in the past, the fathers and friends of Catholic Central continued their efforts in the Men’s Club and have worked very hard to make our school progressive. They cooperated with the Mothers’ Club by sponsoring Bingo on Family Day. The Athletic Banquet on February fifth was a greater suc- cess than the fathers had expected. Perhaps Bert Ingwersen assistant coach at Northwestern, as guest speaker lent popularity to the event. The Dads of Central also took an active part in making the Spring Festival bigger and better than ever. The 1939-1940 officers in the Men’s Club are: Mr. J. A. Fillebeck, president; Mr. J. P. Drapeau, vice-president; Mr. P. L. O’Toole, secretary; Mr. J. P. Ffoess, treasurer. Mr. J. P. Hoess Mr. J. A. Fillebeck Mr. J. P. Drapeau Mr. P. L.

Band Just as an army owes its effectiveness to its leader, so Central’s Band knows that their music-making and harmony abilities have been brought to the fore by their director, Mr. Sarvello. The group has ap- peared at various assemblies, school plays and on the football field. All these performances were of high quality and a credit to the school. Choral Club Spirited Intriguing Notes of Glee The club, in charge of Father Junk and Sister Sophia, meets once a week at 11:10. The singers are working on three and four part songs. They have made many public appearances. The greatest thrill to all con- cerned was the acceptance of an invitation to sing over station WIND. The main event of the year was Central’s first operetta, given April 10 and 11, which was acclaimed by all Here’s to more singing and to making the operetta an annual affair. Mary Louise Getty Pant- Thirty -fin Leonard Keilman Patricia O’Toole Phyllis Hayes Robert Hammond Catholic Students Mission Crusade The Catholic Students Mission Crusade was continued this year as in the past. Every first Friday the student body re- ceived Floly Communion in a group. A meeting was held each first Friday afternoon during which meeting the classes, in turn, participated. The society also collected stamps and contributed financially to help the missions. The officers of 1939-1940 are Leonard Keilman, president; Patricia O’Toole, vice-president; Phyllis Fiayes, secretary; Robert Flammond, treasurer. Rosemary Ruff Page Thirty -six CENTRAL HI-LITE With the passing of another year it will be recalled the Hi-Litc has been a high light in student life. This paper which is sponsored by the Junior Class has proved to be of interest to all students with its news and feature articles, gossip column, and club news. In September the staff solicited subscriptions for the paper in order to insure its financial success. There have been seven issues of the Hi-Lite during the school year.

Page Thirty-seven Monogram Club The Monogram Club was started late in the year and as yet had no opportunity to exhibit their ini- tiative in Catholic Central activities. It is an up an coming club and is capable of doing big things. All boys who have received a major award for any sport is eligible to join the club. The sponsors of the club are Coach Gleason and Father Kienly. The officers of the club were elected by the members. The officers are Joe Kasper, president; John Dzur- ovsak, vice-president; Robert O’Malley, treasurer; Leo Olenicak, secretary; John Kinsman, sergeant- at-arms. Tri-Opus Commercial Club In January of 1940 the Commercial students organized a new club which has taken a place among Central’s curricular activities. With Sister Mary Ivan as advisor, Tri-Opus has gained favor not only among the one hundred twenty members, but also among the entire student body. The officers are Rosemary Ruff, president; John Kinsman, vice-president; Betty Gasvoda, secretary of meetings; Rita Backe, corresponding secretary; Jewell Bartell, treasurer; Dorothy Hodor, Loretta Gozdecki, co-chairmen of the program committee, Mary Louise Getty, Leo Olenciak, Adele Fillebeck, co-chairmen of the publicity committee; Ethel Maginot, Donald Schultz, co-chairmen of the membership committee; Ruth DeBold, Joseph Radigan, co-chairmen of the dramatic committee; Eleanor Koch, Eleanor Heibel, co-chairmen of the social committee; Evelyn Kor- dick, Edwin Dzialakiewicz, co-chairmen of the edu- cational committee; Betty Baker, Joseph Winkler, co-chairmen of the school spirit committee; Richard Pehulic, parliamentarian; Joseph Kasper, sergeant-at- arms. The club participated in contests and enjoyed lec- tures. As this goes to press the members are planning a field trip to Chicago, where they hope to see the Stock Exchange and the largest bank in the world.

Page Thirty -eight * ORATORY During the year several students have shown promise of be- coming second Henry Clays or Patrick Henrys. A group of senior boys took part in a debate held for the Fathers’ Club and a panel discussion on missionary activity. Participating in the annual discussion contest held each year by the Rotary were Jerome Kosinski, Paul Schweppe, and Howard Stephens. Paul Schweppe won the elimination at school, but was defeated in the finals at the Masonic Temple. On the afternoon of April twelfth, seven boys participated in the elimination contest to determine who would represent the school in the oratorical contest sponsored by the Wranglers Club at Notre Dame each year. Jack Hisey won the elimination, and two weeks later defeated orators of three states and brought home the coveted cup. Pit#? T hirty-mm Joseph Radigan, Paul Schweppe, Jerome Kosinski, Howard Stephen.

A T H L E T I C S CATHOLIC HIGH 7-0 For the season opener the Warriors traveled to South Bend and ran into some very tough oooosition. The lone touchdown came in the third quarter when John Wojcicchowski scored on an end run from the five-yard line. ST. CEORCE 0-0 The Warriors threatened the Drag- ons’ goal line several times in the last half but were unable to cross it. St. George had a much heavier line, but the Warriors outgained them from scrimmage. CENTRAL CATHOLIC 28-6 On a warm October evening in South Bend the Warriors chalked up their third victory with little trouble. Coach Gleason was able to use every man on the squad before the final whistle blew. ST. FRANCIS de SALES 13-0 Captain Joe Kasper’s 97 yard touch- down with the opening kick off high- lighted the Warrior’s fourth victory. Central played an air tight defensive game and its goal was threatened but once. FARRACUT 14-7 Central’s first home game was played against a team with a line that aver- aged 190 pounds per man. The War- riors trailed at the half, but Wojcie- chowski scored on a blocked kick in the third quarter, and Olenicak tallied on an intercepted pass with only seconds left to play. CENTRAL CATHOLIC 13-0 In a driving rainstorm a large home- coming crowd cheered the Warriors on to their second Northern Catholic title. The Fort Wayne Fighting Irish were tough, but the Warriors just couldn’t be stopped. A feature of the game was Bill Magurany’s accurate bullet passes. LEO 3-6 They say a football bounces funny, and any Central player will agree. A third quarter quick kick gave the Lions the ball on Central’s two yard line. Leo scored, and the Warriors lost their scalps for the only time this year. TOLLESTON 6-6 Leo Olenicak’s brilliant 97 yard run-back of a punt in the third quar- ter gave the Warriors a deadlocked decision against one of the best Blue Raider elevens that ever took to the gridiron. THORNTON FRACTIONAL 8-6 On Thanksgiving Day Joe Winkler was the man of the hour as the War- riors nosed out a fighting Meteor eleven in the season finale. The margin of victory was a safety scored in the second period. The team also brought home a beautiful trophy. Page Porty-two FOOT BALL Top row Second row W. Daisy Coach Gleason R.

Due credit belongs to the team, which was often outweighed but never outfought, to Coach Gleason, who again proved himself to be an able pilot, to our Athletic Director, Father Kienly, and to the student body which cheered the boys on to victory. When our dashing freshman team took to the gridiron last fall they were ably coached by Judge Stodola, who very graciously gave his time teaching the boys how to handle the oval pigskin. Two senior boys, Harr)' Howard and Mike Simatovich served as assistant coaches of the team.

At times the boys played like champions, and in other games it seemed as if the ball suddenly became allergic to baskets every time a Central player got his hands on it. The longest winning streak of the season was five games, achieved right after the team got new uniforms. The boys evidently felt like playing when they were all dressed up. Though the season’s record of ten. victories and ten defeats has been surpassed by other Warrior squads, the team looked very good in most of the games played during the last part of the year, and when a veteran team takes to the hardwood next winter we arc looking for them to make new records.

The inter-class tournament proved to be more fortunate for the sophomores than for the seniors, because the former won by one basket. The sophomores proved themselves worthy of possessing the title of Intramural champions after they had defeated the freshmen, the juniors, and the seniors, by narrow margins. Because of their victory, the sophomores received individual loving cups from the faculty. The Varsity Team, which consisted of seniors, juniors, and sopho- mores traveled to St. Mary’s, Holy Cross, Ind., where they showed great sportsmanship throughout the entire game, though they were defeated by a score of 17-14. The girls also played St. John’s of Whiting on Central’s home court, but were defeated again 26-21. With Spring comes the world’s greatest sport, baseball, and the girls of Catholic Central intend to make the most of the season. Again there will be an inter-class tournament in the baseball league, and it is rumored about town that the best bet is the seniors. The Girls’ Athletic Association of Catholic Central wish to express their sincere appreciation to the faculty, and to Sister John Michael in particular, for their cooperation and help throughout the entire year.

Central’s future Babe Ruth’s and Walter Johnson’s can be seen each afternoon trudging over to the park for a session with the horse-hide spheroid. This season’s schedule puts the Warriors up against some of the best teams in the district, and we are all pulling for them to come through in their usual victorious fashion. 1940 BASEBALL SCHEDULE Griffith Hammond Tech Washington Roosevelt Griffith Roosevelt — Hammond Tech Bloom Washington Hammond High (two games) St. Rita (two games) .

Dick Jurgens, Kay Kyser, Wayne King and many other celebrities were there. ’Course they were there in the form of a music box, but then if you closed your eyes and danced in a circle for several minutes, you became dizzy with excitement and didn’t care if they were disguised. After school was the date, and the "stompin’ ground” was the gym. Many organizations contributed to the success of these dances — The Tri-Opus Club with the Eleanors Koch and Heibel as co- chairmen; The Hi-Lite Staff with the whole staff cooperating; The Athletic Club under the direction of Coach Gleason. MARQUETTE HOP The ever-popular Marquette Hop was given again this year by the Seniors in order to raise funds for the publication of the "Marquette.” Eleanor Heibel, chairman; Joseph Radigan, co-chairman. On entering, one viewed a large hotel lobby, for the theme was the "bell hop.” Effec- tive decorations were arranged throughout the gym, and music was sup- plied by Jerry Keane and his "bell hops.” Many efficient committees contributed to the arrangement of this dance and without their help, the dance would not have turned out as it did — a success. Page Fifty-two PROM " The trylon’s bright blue, The sphere’s golden hue. We went to the New York World’s Fair.” We gazed at New York’s skyscrapers and danced gaily around the Trylon and Perisphere. Ours was a happy mood when we gave the prom. Mickey Isley directed the Manhattan traffic, and we kept our phone numbers in suitably decorated programs. There were music, soft lights, a million stars, fluffy dresses, best beaux, corsages when "we went to the New York World’s Fair.” FRESHMEN PLAY Left to right: Robert Pci ter, Rosemary Peiffer, Dorothy Kennedy, Eileen Schaffer, Gloria McDonough, James Gianinni, Patricia O’Toole, Jack Sweeney. Under the direction of Mrs. Kelly, "Christopher’s Candle” was the success of this Christ- mas season. It introduced the freshmen to the rest of the school and encouraged them to do fur- ther dramatic work. Jack Sweeney portrayed Chris- topher, whose rich parents. Gloria McDonough and James Giannini, suffered a severe shock when they discovered that they were not the fond parents they claimed to be. Robert Peifer, Rosemary Peif- fer and Pat O’Toole gave an exceptionally good perform- ance as the wealthy friends of Christopher’s parents. Dorothy Kennedy became the sympathetic maid for the evening. I'.i ‘•THE PATSY” Left to right: James Clune, Jane Schilling, Patricia McKenna, Jerome Kosinski, Joseph Radigan, Ruth DcBold, Leonard Gumienny, Kathleen Miller, Robert Kelley. "The Patsy,” a three-act comedy, was presented with all the possible humor and vivacity in the school gym on November 10th. It was the first production of the dramatic club this year and was under the direction of Sister Edward. Included in the cast were Jerome Kosinski and Patricia McKenna as the fond parents of Ruth DeBold and Kathleen Miller, and Joseph Radigan and Robert Kelley as their suitors. Leonard Gumienny, Jane Schilling and James Clune made the play complete in their excellently portrayed supporting roles. dramatics DRAMATICS The triumph of the year was Central’s first operetta, "And It Rained,” held for two successful evenings, April 10 and 11. Under the able supervision of Father Junk, the choral club presented the humorous musical hit. Jack Hisey, proprietor of the Wise Hotel, -portrayed the hen- pecked husband of Margaret Herod. Judge McGuan found Rose T. Schneider pleasing to the eye, while flighty Jean Mudro led Jimmy Preston a merry pace. Harold Arveson and Paul Schweppe were the bewildering fathers, while Rita Huss portrayed the well- known French dancer. John Dzurovsak, Joe Petrovich, Joe Winkler, Louis Polito, and Ray de St. Aubin were the members of the college glee club. To close the dramatic season, the Seniors presented the three-act farce, "Who Wouldn’t Be Crazy?” The audience was amused by the plights of poor Jack, who travels half way over the world to find Lois, and then discovers her in a sanitarium for mild mental cases where he has been locked up to cure his mania for speeding. After many exciting incidents Lois and Jack are united and, with the traditional ending, they live happily ever after. B A Z The cast was composed of John Watson, Jack; Renee Sayers, Lois; Jane Etling and Jerome Kosinski, the nurse and superintendent, respectively; Joseph Radigan, Jack’s father; John Coleman and Ruth DeBold, the long-lost sweethearts; Virgenc Schumacher and Joseph Ciereszewski the colored servants; Mary Alice McMillen and Joseph Mysliwiec, inmates; John Morrissey, Helen Sullivan, Dorothy Kussmaul, and Mary Thomson, visitors to the sanitarium, and Leonard Gumicnny as the traffic cop. AAR "In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of — you know what; but this spring, our thoughts turned to the Annual Spring Festival held April 25, 26„ 27,. Barkers barked, wheels whirled, balls bounc- ed, dancers danced, and everyone was happy. A must-be-remembered hap- pening was the receiving of a check — the price of a book of bazaar tickets — from the movie favorite, Bing Crosby. Three chances for a dime — buy me a balloon — meet me on the dance floor — telegram for — step this way — play Hooligan — let’s go home — we had a swell time at this year’s Spring Festival.
