Hiy    EXCELLENCY   JAMES    C.   McGUIGAN, 
Archbishop   of   Toronto 


To  the  Students  of  St.  Michael's  College 


My  dear  Young  Men : 

The  path  of  heroism  has  now  clearly 
opened  up  before  all  lovers  of  Canada  and 
of  the  Catholic  Faith.  Our  country  needs 
heroes  to  defend  its  liberties.  Our  Faith 
needs  heroes  to  defend  its  Catholic  heri- 
tage. Upon  you  and  thousands  of  Catholic 
youth  throughout  our  nation  who  have 
the  opportunity  of  a  Catholic  education 
set  before  you  depends  the  survival  of  the 
Faith  of  our  Fathers,  the  spiritual  gift 
given  the  world  by  Christ  on  Calvary  and 


kept  by  the  Apostles  and  the  Martyrs  and 
the  Confessors  of  the  Faith  in  every  age 
who  have  followed  Christ  to  other  Cal- 
varies, likening  His  Mystical  Body,  the 
Church,  to  His  human  body  taken  from 
Mary's  pure  flesh  and  blootl  and  sacrificed 
for  the  redemption  of  the  world. 

As  your  Archbishop,  I  now  summon 
you  to  defend  your  religion  by  the  .style 
and  quality  of  your  lives.  God  must  be- 
come the  centre  of  your  thoughts  and 
activities.     A  passion  for  Jesus  Christ  in

the  Sacrament  of  His  love  and  for  the 
things  of  Ilis  Gospel  must  take  hold  of 
you.  Your  reli<i:ion  is  being  spat  upon, 
scourged,  crowned  with  thorns,  crucified 
in  the  Nazi-conquered  countries  of  Europe. 
It  is  being  deserted,  forgotten  and  des- 
pised by  many  nominal  Catholics  in  our 
own  city,  our  own  diocese,  our  own  nation. 
Therefore,  a  more  thorough-going  faith  is 
asked  for  from  our  sincere  Catholics— a 
confession  of  faith  made  not  with  the  lips 
merely  but  by  our  conduct  and  example. 
The  future  is  going  to  depend  on  whether 
we  Catholics  who  believe  are  willing  to 
leave  off  supporting  unchristian  things  or 
whether  we  are  prepared  to  rise  to  the 
full  height  of  our  stature  as  .sons  of  God 
and  sharers  of  His  Kingdom. 

We,  as  Canadians  and  as  Catholics,  are 
faced  to-day  by  enemies  who  have  scrapped 
truth  and  honour,  fidelity  and  justice  and 
who  would  banish  from  the  world  all  the 
blessings  given  to  it  by  Jesus  Christ. 
Rights  of  God  and  rights  of  men  mean 
nothing  to  them.  Their  aim  is  to  exter- 
minate the  Christian  ideal  and  the  Catholic 
faith.  Their  only  "right"  their  godles-s 
philosophy  admits  is  the  "right"  which 
they  themselves  assume  of  dominating  by 
armed  might,  physical  cruelty  and  moral 
tortui-e  all  peopltis  whom  they,  in  their 
racial  arrogance,  deem  to  be  weaker  and 
inferior  to  themselves. 

They  have  become  fanatics  in  their 
will  to  dominate,  as  the  Canadian  Mos- 
senger  states  in  its  leading  article  for 
March.  Millions  of  young  men,  like  you, 
have  been  sedulously  trained,  militarized 
from  earliest  youth  to  think  only  two 
thoughts  as  worthy  of  their  birthright- 
complete  obedient  subjection  of  them- 
.selves  to  the  service  of  their  leader  and  the 
honour  of  giving  their  lives  in  that  ser- 
vice. We  shall  have  to  meet  the  fanaticism 
of  the  enemies  and  haters  of  God  and  of 
His  (Christ  with  the  ardent  love,  enthu- 
siasm and  loyalty  of  ti'ue  lovers  of  Christ 
who  know  Him  iiitinuitely  because  we 
have  felt  Him  in  our  lives,  because  we 
have  made  Him  one  with  our.selves;  a.s  St. 
Paul  said,  "I  live  now  not  I  but  Christ 
liveth  in  me." 


Nothing,  therefore,  is  so  important  to- 
day as  the  deepening  of  the  spiritual  life 
of  Catholic  youth.  We  will  be  strong  only 
in  proportion  to  the  spiritual  .strength  of 
the  oncoming  generation  who  must  be 
heroes  of  God  or  fail  as  defenders  of  free- 
dom and  of  the  faith  where  freedom  has 
its  roots.  It  is  the  spiritual  vitality  and 
energy  of  Catholics  that  alone  can  stand 
up  against  the  irreligious  forces  of  the  age. 

Dear  young  men,  keep  telling  your- 
selves that  the  Faith  depends  upon  you — 
how  you  know  it,  how  you  practise  it,  how 
you  exemplify  it  in  your  life,  how  you  try 
to  influence  others  by  word  and  by  ex- 
ample. IIow  each  of  you,  as  a  future 
Catholic  leader  and  educated  in  a  Catholic 
College  react  to  the  Faith,  will  be  of  su- 
preme importance  to  Church  and  to 
country  in  the  days  that  lie  aliead.  Our 
numerical  .strength  in  English-speaking 
Canada  and  especially  in  our  own  diocese, 
is  not  great.  But  in  religion  it  is  the 
quality  of  the  individual  that  matters 
most :  one  fervent  Catholic  layman  can  do 
more  than  a  thousand  half-hearted  people, 
however  well-organized  they  may  be.  It 
is  our  individual  worth  which  will  be  the 
strength  or  weakness  of  Catholicity.  We 
must  lean  upon  ourselves  as  individuals 
and  less  upon  collective  value.  Personal 
indifference  must  give  away  to  the  heroism 
and  the  active  participation  of  every  one 
of  our  members.  A  spiritual  revolution  is 
overdue.  Let  us  be  its  promoters,  its 
crusaders,  its  pioneers,  its  Apostles.  More 
than  ever  before  the  future  of  oui-  religion 
is  going  to  depend  on  the  spiritual  stamina 
of  the  lay  Catholic. 

I  feel  certain  that  the  boys  of  St.  Mich- 
ael's, the  warrior  Archangel  of  the  heav- 
enly courts,  whose  sword  slew  the  dragon 
of  the  Anti-God  fight  of  the  rebellious 
angels,  will  be  worthy  of  their  patron  in 
the  Anti-God  fight  to  save  Catholic  Canada 
to  the  Faith  of  our  Fathers,  the  Faith 
once  delivered  to  the  saints  by  Jesus  Christ, 
King  of  the  Universe. 

J'aithfully  yours  in  Christ, 

S&JAMES  C.  McGUIGAN, 

Archbishop   of   Toronto.

Father  McLaughlin's  Message 


In  these  times  we  are  aeciistoined  to 
hear  and  read  a  good  deal  about  the  glori- 
ous cause  for  which  we  are  fighting  and 
the  kind  of  world  which  we  are  going  to 
construct  after  we  have  achieved  the  vic- 
tory. The  great  problem,  it  is  said,  is 
how  to  make  the  world  the  best  possible 
place  in  which  men  may  dwell  together. 
The  international  scene  must  be  so  order- 
ed— by  an  armed  police  force,  if  neces- 
siary — as  to  assure  peace  among  nations. 
The  national  economy  is  to  be  so  organized 
and  administered  that  all  may  enjoy  se- 
curity and  comfort.  These  are  in  them- 
selves worthy  'aims  provided  they  do  not 
exclude  higher  and  more  noble  ones.  Se- 
condary aims  have  a  habit  of  becoming 
all  important  and  obscuring  others  which 
are  primary,  just  as  beautiful  and  inter- 
esting sights  along  the  road  may  be  the 
cause  of  our  arriving  late  at  the  end  of 
a  journey. 

If  we  bear  in  mind  that  even  the  very 
best  world  that  we  can  make  is  but  a  pre- 
paration for  another  and  much  more  im- 
portant one  and  also  that  this  world  here 
below  is  not  the  exclusive  domain  of  man 
but  th'at  God  must  have  a  place  in  it,  it 
would  be  well  for  us  to  frame  the  problem 
in  a  different  way.  What  kind  of  a  world 
are  we  going  to  make  for  God  to 
live  in?  Under  the  new  order  how 
are  man's  relations  to  God  to  be  pro- 
vided for  and  fulfilled?  Besides  man's 
relations  to  his  fellow-men  and  the  rules 
which  should  govern  his  dealings  with 
them,  there  is  the  relation  between  God 
and  man  and  laws  governing  this  rela- 
tionship. The  greater  the  place  given  to 
God  in  our  world,  the  more  room  there 
will  be  for  men  to  live  happily  at  peace 
with  one  another.  Only  when  and  in  .so 
far  as  we  give  God  his  due  will  we  be 


prepared  to  give  man  his  due.  In  other 
words,  if  we  are  concerned  with  God's 
position  in  the  new  ordei-,  the  place  of  all 
men  and  their  relations  with  one  another 
will  be  easily  taken  care  of. 

All  are  agi-eed  that  we  must  make  this 
world  a  better  one  uidess  we  are  to  lose 
the  degree  of  civilization  which  we  have 
attained  and  sink  into  anarchy  and  pagan- 
ism. But  a  world  in  which  there  will  be 
better  opportunities  for  work  for  all. 
better  wages,  better  living  conditions, 
better  hours  of  recreation  and  better  com- 
forts and  plea.sures  is  not  necessarily  a 
better  world.  Such  a  world  will  be  bet- 
ter only  if  it  is  based  on  the  firm  convic- 
tion that  spiritual  things  come  before  ma- 
terial ;  on  a  deeper  consciousness  of  the 
universal  brotherhood  of  men;  on  the  in- 
dividual and  public  acceptance  of  the 
moral  law  revealed  by  God ;  on  a  more 
ready  and  cheerful  obedience  to  God  our 
Creator;  on  a  fuller  realization  of  the 
value  of  each  one's  prayer  and  sacrifice. 
And  over  all  must  run  the  gentle,  healing 
virtue  of  Christian  charity. 

My  dear  Catholic  students:  You  are 
receiving  a  Christian  education  at  a  time 
when  such  a  privilege  is  denied  to  most 
of  the  youth  of  the  world.  Such  a  pri- 
vilege carries  with  it  tremendous  obliga- 
tions. Though  you  may  justly  say  that 
you  are  not  responsible  for  the  condition 
of  the  world  to-day,  I  tell  you  that  it  is 
your  sacred  duty  to  strive  with  all  your 
power  to  make  it  what  it  can  be  and 
must  be  to-morrow.  Remain  true  to  the 
principles  and  convictions  which  you  have 
learned  at  St.  Michael's.  Continue  to 
practise  faithfully  your  religious  exer- 
cises. Guard  with  your  very  lives  the 
peace  of  a  tranquil  conscience  in  friend- 
ship with  God.

History  of  St.  Michael's—  1892-1942 


The  history  of  tlie  last  fifty  years  of 
St.  Michael's  ("ollejje  is  the  history  of  the 
working  out  of  the  relations  of  St.  Mich- 
ael's College  and  the  University  of  To- 
ronto. During  this  period  St.  Michael's 
passed  from  the  status  of  an  laffiliated 
college  into  a  constituent  part  of  the  Uni- 
versity. From  1906  on  St.  Michael's  en- 
tered upon  a  period  of  remarkable  aca- 
demic development.  The  number  of 
students  has  increased,  the  number  of 
courses  offered  has  been  multiplied  and 
the  staff  has  been  strengthened.  This 
academic  development  began  with  the 
coming  to  the  college  staff  of  Very  Rever- 
end Henry  Carr,  C.S.B.,  present  Superior 
General  of  the  Congregation  of  St.  Basil, 
immediately  after  his  ordination  in  1905. 
Others  had  formed  the  relations  of  the 
College  and  the  University;  he,  for  ten 
years  as  a  teacher  and  ten  years  as  Su- 
perior, brought  them  to  fruition. 

FIFTH  DECADE,  1892-1902. 

The  fifth  decade  of  the  College's  his- 
tory opened  auspiciously.  The  enrollment 
nearly  reached  200.  The  pupils  were  for 
the  most  part  boarders  and  the  late  after- 
noon classes  would  be  rather  hard  on 
the  modern  day  scholar.  There  was  a  sur- 
prisingly large  ninnber  of  Americans,  93 
from  13  States  in  the  Union.  Quebec 
sent  7  boys,  one  is  listed  as  coming  from 
Ireland  and  the  rest  are  from  Ontario. 
E.  Harley  from  Ireland  and  J.  Hughes 
from  California  were  farthest  from  home. 
The  teaching  staff  was  made  np  of  seven 
Basilian  priests  and  ten  laymen,  the  ma- 
.iority  of  whom  were  studying  for  the 
priesthood.  Father  Teefy  was  the  Su- 
perior. Of  the  professorial  body  only  two 
of  the  laymen  are  still  living.  One  is 
now  Father  M.  J.  Ryan.  C.S.B.,  on  the 
staff  of  St.  Basil's  Seminary,  Toronto, 
and  the  other  Mr.  J.  P.  Fitzgerald,  the 
sports  editor  of  the  Toronto  Evening  Tele- 
gram. Among  the  pupils  who  won  prizes 
at  the  annual  commencement  and  who 
still  are  living,  may  be  mentioned  Father 
C.    Collins,    C.S.B.,    of    Assumption    Col- 


lege, Windsor,  who  won  the  Christian 
Doctrine  Scholarship,  and  Rev.  A.  J.  0'- 
Leary,  D.D.,  pastor  of  Dixie,  who  won 
the  Alumni  Bursary. 

The  year  1892  was  a  year  of  double 
.iubilee,  the  Archdiocese  of  Toronto  cele- 
brated its  golden  ,iubilee  and  the  Arch- 
bishop, the  silver  jubilee  of  his  episcopal 
consecration.  The  jubilee  volume  pub- 
lished as  a  souvenir  was  edited  by  Father 
J.  R.  Teefy,  Superior  of  the  College,  who 
in  the  same  year  was  chosen  editor-in- 
chief  of  the  Catholic  Register  when  this 
paper  was  formed  by  the  amalgamation 
of  the  Catholic  Weekly  Review  and  the 
Irish  Canadian.  For  the  Basilian  Fath- 
ers it  was  a  happy  year  also.  In  May 
the  corner-stone  was  laid  for  a  Canadian 
novitiate  and  in  October  it  was  formally 
opened  with  seven  novices.  Hitherto 
young  men  desiring  to  join  their  teachers 
in  the  work  of  Catholic  education  had  to 
go  to  France  or  England  for  the  canoni- 
cal year  which  precedes  the  taking  of  re- 
ligious vows. 

Among  the  miscellaneous  events  of  the 
decade  may  be  mentioned  the  library 
which  contained,  according  to  the  first 
catalogue  ever  made  for  it,  3.401  volumes. 
Dui'ing  the  course  of  the  year  there  were 
two  notable  bequests,  one  from  the  library 
of  the  late  Bishop  O'Mahoney,  Pastor  of 
St.  Paul's  Church  and  retired  Bishop  of 
Armindale,  Australia,  and  the  other  from 
the  library  of  Father  Bardou,  Pastor  of 
Cayuga,  in  London  Diocese.  These  two 
libraries  contained  rare  books  that  are 
now  in  the  library  of  the  Pontifical  Insti- 
tute of  Mediaeval  Studies.  Fees  were  not 
excessive,  $165.00  for  boarders  and  $28.00 
for  day  scholars.  Tobacco  then,  as  now, 
was  a  failing,  and  the  Sodality  minutes 
record  that  Father  Dumouehel  warned 
the  members  against  chewing  tobacco.  In 
1897  the  first  football  team  was  organized 
at  the  College.  During  these  years  also 
the  priests  of  the  archdiocese  made  their 
annual  retreat  at  the  College  during  the 
summer. 

Towards  the  end  of  the  decade  plans 


Nineteen 


were  made  for  the  celebration  of  the 
golden  jubilee  of  the  College  and  because 
the  existing  accommodation  was  insuffi- 
cient, it  was  decided  that  a  new  building 
should  be  erected  to  mark  the  event.  On 
Tuesday,  Ma.y  19,  1900,  the  Alumni  Ass.o- 
ciation  was  reorganized  and  a  building 
campaign  begun.  The  drive  met  with 
success,  and  in  1902  the  present  High 
School  wing  was  erected. 

SIXTH  DECADE,  1902-1912. 

The  sixth  decade  opened  with  the 
golden  jubilee  celebrations,  April  28th 
and  29th,  1903.  His  Excellency  Arch- 
bishop Donato  Sbarretti,  Apostolic  Dele- 
gate to  Canada  and  later  Cardinal,  open- 
ed the  proceedings  with  a  Pontifical  High 
Mass.  Right  Reverend  Richard  O'Connor, 
Bishop  of  Peterborough  and  sole  survivor 
of  the  seven  students  who  registered  on 
the  opening  day  in  1852,  preached  the 
Jubilee  sermon.  This  was  followed  by 
dinner  in  the  College  Refectory  during 
the  course  of  which  the  history  of  the 
past  fifty  years  was  recalled.  In  the 
evening  there  was  an  oratorical  and  mvi- 
sical  entertainment  in  the  College  Hall. 
On  the  second  day  the  Most  Reverend 
Denis  O'Connor,  C.S.B.,  Archbishop  of 
Toronto  and  the  12th  student  to  register 
in  1852,  celebrated  Mass  for  deceased  pro- 
fessors, alumni  and  benefactors.  In  the 
■afternoon  open  house  was.  held  in  the  new 
wing  from  4.00  to  6.00  and  visitors  were 
shown  the  recent  improvements. 

Looking  back  over  the  first  fifty  years 
it  is  possible  to  say  that  during  them  a 
conservative  policy  ruled  the  College. 
Innovations  were  few  and  made  after 
much  deliberation.  In  financial  matters 
the  authorities  inherited  a  spirit  from 
their  French  founders  that  abhorred 
debt.  No  building  was  undertaken  un- 
less money  was  in  sight  to  pay  for  it. 
There  had  been  signal  benefactors  who 
materially  assisted  the  College  but  gifts 
were  never  so  numerous  or  so  large  that 
they  encouraged  too  ambitious  a  building. 
A  structure  that  was  solid,  practical  and 
adaptable  was  aimed  at  and  for  the  most 
part  achieved  as  proven  bj^  the  continued 
usefulness  of  the  early  buildings. 


In  academic  matters  a  like  conserva- 
tism was  evident.  The  College  affiliated 
with  the  University  in  1881,  but  no  great 
academic  development  came  from  it  for 
years.  There  were  many  sound  reasons 
for  the  delay.  The  Catholic  population 
served  by  the  College  was  not  yet  pre- 
pared to  send  boys  to  University.  It 
would  make  sacrifices  to  educate  a  priest 
or  to  prepare  him  for  a  profe.s.sion,  but 
the  value  of  an  education  as  distinct  from 
professional  training  was  not  appreciated. 

This  .sixth  decade  saw  a  complete  change 
in  the  educational  policies  of  the  College. 
The  change  made  was  in  keeping  with 
tradition  and  was  rather  the  natural  out- 
growth of  previous  growth  than  a  revolu- 
tion. It  began  in  the  High  School.  Hither- 
to the  boys  had  followed  a  course  based 
on  European  traditions.  Matriculation 
students  were  special  cases  and  were  given 
extra  classes  apart  from  the  regular 
courses.  In  1905  the  College  began  to 
prepare  High  School  students  for  matri- 
culation as  the  rgular  course  and  to  pro- 
vide special  classes  for  those  not  intend- 
ing to  write  the  matriculation  examina- 
tions. In  1906  the  College  achieved  federa- 
tion with  the  University,  and,  as  a  result 
of  the  new  policy  in  the  High  School, 
now  had  a  small  group  prepared  to  enter 
the  Arts  course.  In  1910  five  Arts  students 
graduated  with  the  B.A.  degree,  the  first 
University  of  Toronto  students  to  bear  on 
their  parchments  the  name  of  St.  Michael's 
College.  They  were:  Bernard  S.  Doyle, 
now  pastor  of  Orillia;  Joseph  J.  Greenan, 
now  a  lawyer;  Michael  J.  Oliver,  now  a 
member  of  the  College  Staif;  Cecil  J. 
McNeil,  who  became  a  prie.st  and  who  died 
a  few  years  ago  in  Vancouver,  and  John 
M.  O'Connor,  pastor  of  St.  Helen's  parish 
in  Toronto. 

In  the  following  year  one  of  the  most 
famous  classes  of  recent  history  graduated, 
and  at  the  same  time  the  class  historian 
in  his  prophecy  predicted  with  remark- 
able accuracy  their  future  careers.  The 
honours  of  the  episcopacy  were  predicted 
for  Hubert  Dignan,  now  Bishop  of  Sault 
Ste.  Marie.  Edmund  McCorkell  was  cast 
for  Superior  of  the  College,  and  he  has 
twice  served  six  vear  terms  in  that  oifice.

The  late  Father  Henry  Bellislc  was 
desiu:nate(]  as  a  member  of  the  staff  and 
he  not  only  fulfilled  the  prophecy  but 
exceeded  it  by  becoming  Superior.  Charles 
E.  Couprhlin    was    picked    for    parochial 


REV.    DANIEL   GUSHING 

work.  Thomas  M.  Mullipian  was  ca-st  in 
the  role  of  a  lawyer  a.s  was  Bernard  P. 
Fitzpatrick 

The  decade  was  marked  also  by  an  era 
of  athletic  success  In  1904  the  Colle<re  won 
the  Intercollegiate  Handball  Association 
trophy.  In  1905  basketball  and  tennis 
were  introduced  a.s  sports.  In  1909  the 
Canadian  Junior  Rugby  Championship 
was  won.  In  1910  on  March  16  the  hockey 
team  won  the  Allan  Cup,  symbol  of  the 
World's  Amateur  Hockey  Championship. 
During  these  years,  howevei-,  the  popular 
sport  was  baseball.  The  College  has  good 
teams  which  always  gave  a  splendid  ac- 
count of  themselvs  in  exhibition  games 
before  they  broke  up  with  the  end  of  the 
school  year.  Towards  the  end  of  the  de- 
cade baseball  was  losing  the  premier 
po.sition  because  the  University  year 
closed  earlier  than  the  old  College  year, 
and  the  senior  players  were  leaving  for 
their  homas  when  the  weather  became 
suitable  for  exhibition  games.  In  1911  the 
first  M's  were  awarded. 

It  was  likewise  an  era  of  active  student 
organizations.       The     Sodality     was     the 


prem.ier  organization.  In  190;i  St.  John's 
Debating  Club  was  organized.  In  the  same 
year  St.  Michael's  Dramatic  Society  was 
formed.  Hitherto  dramatics  had  been  a 
faculty  interest.  From  these  two  clubs, 
with  their  literary  flavour,  developed  a 
movement  for  a  College  paper.  This  was 
never  realized,  but  in  1910  the  first  year 
book  was  published,  a  paper  bound  book 
of  116  pages  which  sold  for  the  motlest  sum 
of  50  cents. 

During  this  decade  for  one  reason 
or  another  the  College  experienced  a  con- 
.stant  changing  of  Superiors.  In  1904 
Father  Teefy  was  transferred  to  less  stren- 
uous work  because  he  was  suffering  from 
diabetes,  then  a  disease  that  baffled 
medical  science.  Bachelor  and  Master  of 
Arts,  silver  medallist  in  mathematics  in 
his  graduating  year,  he  had  been  Superior 
for  fifteen  years.  In  1896  he  received 
the  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws 
from  the  University.  He  continued  to 
keep  in  touch  with  College  affairs  and  in 
1906  was  appointed  to  the  Board  of 
Governors  of  the  University.  But  he  had 
given  his  best  and  his  days  were  numbered, 
and  on  June  10th,  1911,  at  the  age  of  63, 
he  passed  to  hi.s  eternal  reward. 

Father  Teefy 's  successor  was  Father 
Daniel  Cushing,  who  had  been  Superior 
from  1886  to  1889.    Father  Cushing  was 


REV.    ROBERT    McBRADY 

a  stern,  yet  lovable  man,  a  capable  admin- 
istrator and  a  fine  director  of  boys  and 
men.  He  played  an  active  part  in  the 
scheme  of   federation   and    was  honoured 


Twenty-One 


by  the  University 
with  the  Degree  of 
Doctor  of  Laws  in 
1908. 

In  1906  Father 
Nicholas  Roche  be.- 
came  Superior.  lie  is 
remembered  by  all 
who  knew  him  as  a 
man  of  sanctity.  In 
1910  he  was  called 
upon  to  fill  a  higher 
post  within  his  Com- 
munity and  Father 
Francis  Powell  be- 
came Superior.  Poor 
health  made  his  term 
of  office  a  short  one 
and  he  is  better 
known  as  the  Assist- 
ant Superior  between 
1915  and  1922. 

SEVENTH 

DECADE, 

1912-1922. 

At  the  close  of  the 
sixth  decade  Father 
Robert  McBrady  was 
chosen  Superior.  Un- 
der his  able  guidance 
things  ran  smoothly. 
In  1913  he  was 
forced  to  raise  the 
fees  for  boarders  to 
$170.00,  because  the 
cost  of  living  had 
risen.  The  following 
year  he  began  pub- 
lication of  a  calendar 
devoted  to  the  High 
School  Department 
alone.  Students  in 
the  College  Department  would  hence- 
forth use  the  Universitj'  of  Toronto 
calendar  for  the  Faculty  of  Arts.  In 
1914  the  fir.st  World  War  began.  The 
Superior  must  have  felt  it  keenly.  Years 
before  in  1870  he  had  been  a  student  in 
France  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Franco- 
Prus.sian  war  and  had  just  managed  to 
get  out  of  the  country.     The  interrupted 


VERY    REV.    HENRY   CARR 

studies  were  never  resumed  because  he 
never  was  able  to  take  time  oft'  from  his 
classroom  activities.  In  1914  the  college 
football  team  won  the  Canadian  Inter- 
mediate Rugby  championship. 

The  era  of  new  Superiors  every  few 
years  came  to  an  end  in  191")  when  Father 
Henry  Carr  took  office.  He  was  young, 
just  ten  years  ordained,  but  he  was  old  in 


Twenty-Two 


experience  with  all  phases  of  College 
life.  His  name  will  live  for  his  educa- 
tional policies,  but  then  he  was  equally 
well  or  better  known  for  his  work  in  Col- 
lege athletic  activities.  Father  Carr 
brouiiht  to  his  post  a  profound  convic- 
tion of  the  necssity  of  higher  Catholic 
education  and  a  desire  to  see  St.  Michael's 
not  only  do  its  share,  but  also  lead.  He 
wanted  the  College  to  make  a  distinctive 
contribution  to  the  intellectual  life  of  the 
University  and  the  country.  It  would  not 
be  profitable,  it  would  cost  money,  money 
that  must  be  provided  by  economies  on 
the  part  of  staff  and  students  and  money 
that  must  come  from  interested  fi-iends 
of  the  College.  Tt  was  a  tremendous  task 
and  his  health  broke  under  it.  Fortunately 
the  lung  ailment  which  necessitated  a  long 
rest  responded  to  treatment  and  within 
the  year  he  was  back  at  his  work. 

Two  problems  were  pressing  for  a 
solution,  the  College  needed  a  more  highly 
trained  staff,  and  secondly  larger  build- 
ings. Father  Carr  was  able  to  have  a 
nucleus  of  promising  young  Basilians 
trained  at  the  Catholic  Univer-sity  and 
set  about  supplementing  the  Ba.silian 
staff  by  attracting  men  of  international 
repute.  From  1919  to  1921  he  obtained 
Professor  Maurice  DeWulf,  specialist  in 
mediaeval  philosophy,  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Louvain,  but  only  on  a  part  time 
basis.  Later  when  post  war  conditions 
improved  Professor  DeWulf  decided  to 
remain  in  Belgium.  In  1920  he  brought  Sir 
Bertram  Windle  to  the  College  a,s  pro- 
fessor of  Cosmology.  Sir  Bertram  was 
an  eminent  scientist,  a  Fellow  of  the  Royal 
Society,  and  the  author  of  numerous  books 
on  the  attitude  of  the  ('hurch  towards 
science.  He  was  much  in  demand  through- 
out the  continent  as  the  most  authoritative 
exponent  of  the  Catholic  outlook  on  theories 
of  evolution. 

The  building  programme  received  a 
bad  setback  when  the  City  decided  to  put 
Bay  Street  through  the  College  property. 
Father  Carr  had  planned  using  a  .site  east 
of  the  present  building.  Some  of  the  land 
was  owned  by  the  College,  some  rented  on 
a  long  lease  from  the  city.  Those  who 
knew  the  College  in  the  old  days  will  re- 


member its  ideal  location,  approximately 
midway  between  Yonge  Street  and  Uni- 
versity Avenue,  remote  from  traffic,  con- 
venient to  transportation,  in  the  midst  of 
private  homes.  At  the  rear  was  a  large 
campus  including  a  full  size  football  field. 
Now  all  was  to  go.  The  city  made  a 
modest  offer  for  the  property  as  vacant 
land  and  the  College  asked  for  damages  in 
proportion  to  the  difference  the  new  street 
would  make  in  College  life.  After  arbi- 
tation  and  litigation  the  College  received 
an  award  that  was  generous  in  proportion 
to  the  amount  of  land  actually  taken,  but 
inadequate  both  to  replace  the  site  of  the 
Arts  building  and  the  buildings  affected 
by  the  noise  on  Bay  Street. 

At  the  close  of  the  decade  the  College 
was  growing  rapidly.  The  number  of 
University  students  was  encouraging  and 
the  High  School  Department  wa.s  growing 
by  leaps  and  bounds.  Its  growth  was  such 
that  in  September,  1921,  a  new  adminis- 
trative ofifice  was  created  when  Father 
Bellisle  was  appointed  principal.  Hitherto 
the  Superior  and  the  Director  of  Studies 
looked  after  all  academic  mattei's.  Now 
the  College  had  grown  so  that  the  Superior 
required  a  Registrar  for  the  Arts  Depart- 
ment and  a  Principal  for  the  High  School 
to  assist  him.  Another  trend  was  appar- 
ent, the  High  School  was  becoming  a  daj^ 
school  becau.se  more  and  more  boys  were 
able  to  attend  High  School  in  their  home 
districts.  The  Arts  department  would 
depend  on  a  number  of  High  School  Day 
Scholars  entering  each  year,  but  would  con- 
tinue to  have  a  large  number  in  residence. 

EIGHTH  DECADE,  1922-1932. 

The  first  task  of  the  eighth  decade  was 
the  acquisition  of  a  new  site.  Federation 
required  the  College  Department  to  con- 
tinue near  the  University  and  the  most 
promising  .site  was  the  land  to  the  west  of 
the  College.  It  was  expensive.  The 
houses  built  on  it  were  intended  for  people 
who  were  well  to  do  and  both  the  buildings 
and  the  ground  were  valuable.  A  com- 
])lication  was  a  species  of  double  owner- 
ship ;  one  party  owned  the  land,  another 
held  a  long  term  lease  on  it.  To  date  the 
College  has  been  able  to  purchase  either 


Twenty-Three 


the  ownership  or  the  leasehold  on  all  the 
property  between  its  Bay  Street  property 
and  Queen's  Park  and  to  obtain  passession 
of  enouprh  to  erect  the  buildings  built 
during  the  1930 's. 

In  1925  Father  Carr  was  transferred 
by  his  Superiors  to  the  post 
of  Master  of  Scholastics  and 
entrusted  with  the  formation 
of  young  Basilians.  Three 
years  later  he  was  made  a 
member  of  the  General  Coun- 
cil of  the  Congregation  and 
in  1930  was  elected  Superior 
General.  In  1936  he  was  re- 
elected for  a  second  term  of 
six  years.  The  next  Superior 
of  the  College  was  Father 
McCorkell,  a  product  of 
Father  Carr's  educational 
l)olicies  and  one  who  fully 
shared  his  views. 

In  1927  the  College  cele- 
brated its  seventy-fifth  anni- 
versary. Like  the  Golden  Ju- 
bilee of  1902,  the  Diamond 
jubilee  of  1927  was  formally 
observed.  The  proceedings 
were  opened  with  an  acade- 
mic procession  and  reception 
in  Convocation  Hall  on  the 
afternoon  of  Tuesday,  May 
11.  Father  McCorkell  open- 
ed the  celebration  with  a 
short  speech  in  which  he  re- 
marked that:  "We  are  be- 
ginning to  search  our  past, 
because  like  growing  child- 
ren, we  are  becoming  con- 
scious of  a  past  to  be  searched ;  we  are  be- 
coming conscious  of  a  continuous  life  which, 
whilst  growing  richer  with  the  passing 
yeai's.  maintains  its  identity  throughout— 
a  life  that  is  our  own  and  no  one  else's. 
We  call  that  our  tradition."  lie  then  read 
a  cablegram  from  Cardinal  Gasparri, 
Papal  Secretary  of  State:  "His  Holiness 
with  paternal  greetings  and  good  wishes 
for  the  advancement  of  St.  Michael's  Col- 
lie, sends  the  Basilian  Fathers,  students 
and  most  distinguished  gathering  his 
apostolic  benediction." 

Right  Reverend     Alfred     Baudrillart, 


now  Cardinal  Baudrillart,  reprasenting  the 
Academic  Francaisc  and  the  Institut  Cath- 
olique  of  Paris,  delivered  a  short  addre-ss 
on  behalf  of  all  the  delegates  to  the 
jubilee  during  which  he  recalled  that  the 
founders  of  the  College  were  priests  from 


REV.   EDMUND   McCORKELL, 

his  native  land  and  in  the  name  of  France 
he  greeted  their  successors. 

Sir  William  Mulock,  Chancellor  of 
the  University,  then  spoke  on  the  relation 
of  St.  Michael's  to  the  University,  some- 
thing that  he,  as  Vice-Chancellor,  had  seen 
born  in  1881.  His  Grace,  Most  Reverend 
Neil  McNeil,  Archbishop  of  Toronto,  was 
then  introduced  as  "a  generous  patron, 
wise  counsellor  and  a  true  friend."  He 
touched  on  a  matter  that  later  became  the 
keynote  of  the  celebration,  the  need  of 
money  for  buildings  and  endowment  if  the 
College  was  to  take  its  rightful  place  in 


Twenty-Four 


the  woi'ld  of  education.  He  especiall.v 
asked  the  j'Oung  to  remember  in  later  years 
the  needs  of  their  Alma  Mater. 

The  logical  outcome  of  the  .jubilee 
celebrations  was  a  campaisrn  for  .$3,000,- 
000  hold  in  1929.  Timers  were  prosperous 
but  it  was  not  expected  that  the  entire 
sum  would  be  raised  at  once.  It  was  hoped 
that  perhajis  one-third  would  be  received 
in  cash  and  pledges  payable  in  a  few  years. 
The  remainder  was  a.sked  for  as  an  en- 
dowment fund  to  be  collected  over  a  period 
of  years.  The  campaign  got  off  to  a  good 
.start.  Senator  Prank  O'Connor  promised 
$125,000  and  an  anonymous  benefactor 
gave  $.50,000.  L&sser  subscriptions  were 
received  for  the  most  part  in  the  form 
of  i)ledges  payable  over  a  period  of  months 
or  j'ears.  Then,  when  the  campaign  was 
barely  well  organized,  there  came  the 
stock  market  crash.  Friends  were  com- 
pelled to  suspend  payment  of  their 
pledges.  Hoping  that  things  would  im- 
prove within  a  few  years  the  lay  Board  of 
Tru.stees  who  managed  the  campaign  gifts 
deferred  building  plans. 

If  the  building  and  endowment  campaign 
was  not  up  to  expectation.s  in  afinancialway 
it  had  other  good  effects.  It  brought  the 
College  to  the  notice  of  many  people  and 
the  enrollment  began  to  increase.  In  ])ar- 
ticular  American  alumni  were  attracted  by 
the  standing  of  the  College  within  the 
University  and  the  flow  of  American  stu- 
dents that  had  almost  ceased  for  some 
years  began  to  revive. 

On  September  29th,  1929,  the  In.sti- 
tute  of  Mediaeval  Studies  was  inaugur- 
ated with  a  Pontifical  High  Mass  cele- 
brated by  the  Archbishop  of  Toronto, 
Most  Reverend  Neil  McNeil.  It  was  the 
highest  point  aimed  at  in  Father  Carr's 
vision  of  the  future,  and  a.s  was  most 
fitting  he  was  named  the  first  President 
of  the  Institute.  The  beginnings  were 
quite  simple.  Father  Carr,  in  his  search 
for  exceptional  men,  had  brought  Dr. 
Pholan  t(^  the  College  in  192.").  In  1927, 
as  head  of  the  Philosojihy  Deiiartment,  he 
brought  Professor  Eti(?nne  Gilson  for  a 
course  of  three  lectures.  Professor  Gilson 
was  extremely  interested  in  the  College 
and   returned   in    1928   for   another   short 


visit.  This  time  plans  were  made  and  in 
the  summer  of  the  same  year  the  General 
Chapter  of  the  Congregation  of  St.  Basil 
gave  the  College  permission  to  inaugurate 
an  Institute  for  the  study  of  the  Middle 
Ages.  Professor  Gilson  refused  more  ad- 
vantageous financial  offers  from  American 
universities  to  become  Director  of  the  new 
Institute  and  agreed  to  spend  one-half  the 
academic  year  in  Toronto.  This  he  con- 
tinued to  do  until  after  the  fall  of  France, 
when  he  was  held  in  occupied  France. 

The  bf'ginnings  of  the  Institute  were 
quite  modest.  Its  headquarters  were  No. 
10  Elmsley  Place,  where  a  library  of  some 
3,000  volumes  chosen  from  books  in  the 
pos"session  of  the  College  were  placed.  The 
.staff  was  small,  but  so  was  the  student 
bod}',  and  the  first  years  were  a  time  when 
a  staff  was  trained. 

During  this  decade  athletics  at  the 
College  were  at  a  high  peak  and  the  College 
teams  had  a  large  following.  In  192")  the 
College  football  team  won  the  Inter- 
collegiate Intermediate  Rugby  champion- 
ship. In  1932  the  High  School  team  won 
the  Interscholastic  Senior  Championship 
of  the  Province.  The  hockey  teams  never 
won  a  championship,  although  they  cap- 
tured the  Prep  Group  title  several  times 
and  always  gave  such  a  good  account  of 
themselves  that  they  were  almost  always 
the  most  popular  team  with  the  public. 
During  this  decade  more  attention  was 
paid  to  intermural  competition  with  other 
teams  within  the  University  and  in  the 
year  19.30-31  the  College  won  the  Rugrby, 
Hockey  and  Basketball  champion.ship. 
Presenting  the  Mulock  Cup,  which  he  don- 
ated forty  years  previously,  Sir  William 
Muloek  advised  the  students  not  to  wait 
another  forty  years  if  they  wished  him  to 
present  it  personally. 

In  1927  Dr.  Fulton  Sheen  preached  the 
annual  retreat.  lie  wa-s  then  not  well 
known  as  an  orator  and  the  first  Canadian 
appearance  of  this  modern  crusader  was 
at  St.  Michael's.  In  1927  also  the  College 
elected  the  first  members  of  its  alumni  to 
the  University  Senate,  the  academic  gov- 
erning body  of  the  University.  During 
this  period  too,  Wilson  MacDonald,  one  of 
the  outstanding    poets    of    Canada,     read

REV.  H.  BELLISLE 


some  of  his  first  poems  at  the  Collepie  at  the 
invitation  of  the  Siiperioi-  who  was  one  of 
the  English  seholars  to  appreciate  his 
talent. 

NINTH  DECADE.  1932-1942. 

Just  before  the  close  of  the  last  decade 
Pathei-  Hellisle  became  Superior  when 
Father  McCorkeH'is 
second  three  -  year 
term  expired  in 
1931.  His  term  of 
office  coincided  with 
the  worst  years  of 
the  depression,  but 
throu<:hout  his  time 
the  enrollment  not 
only  held  steady,  but 
even  increased.  The 
pressure  on  the  Hijjh 
8chof)l  was  such  that 
he  started  Bast  and 
West  End  branches  partly  to  relieve  the 
crowding  in  the  central  buildings  and 
partly  to  see  if  High  Schools  could  be  eon- 
ducted  nearer  the  homes  of  students.  The 
experiment  was  not  judged  sufficiently 
.successful  to  continue  these  schools,  and 
after  a  trial  they  were  closed.  The  high- 
light of  his  administration  was  the  visit  of 
Cardinal  Villeneuve  in  June,  1934.  More 
than  forty  years  had  passed  since  the 
Canadian  Cardinal  had  visited  Toronto, 
and  now  just  one  year  after  his  appoint- 
ment the  University  of  Toronto  wished  to 
confer  the  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of 
Laws  upon  him.  During  his  stay  His 
Eminence  M'as  the  guest  of  the  Superior. 
A  booklet  was  published  to  commemorate 
the  visit  and  when  His  Eminence  pre- 
sented a  copy  of  it  to  the  Holy  Father. 
Pope  Pius  XI  sent  his  Apostolic  Benedic- 
tion to  the  Superior,  Faculty  and  students 
through  Cardinal  Pacelli  his  Secretary  of 
State.  Shortly  after  the  vi.sit  Father 
Bellisle  suffered  a  heart  attack  which 
necessitated  a  long  rest  before  he  was  able 
to  return  to  teaching,  but  he  never  fully 
recovered  and  died  four  years  later  at  the 
age  of  47. 

When  Father  Bellisle  was  unable  to 
resume  his  duties  as  head  of  the  College 
Father    McCorkell    returned,    and    during 


his  second  six  years  of  office  aceompli.shed 
what  Father  Carr  had  longed  for,  namely, 
the  erection  of  buildings  for  the  Arts  De- 
partment. In  1936  the  new  classrooms 
and  residences  on  Queen's  Park  Crescent 
were  occupied.  Two  years  later  a  badly 
needed  Refectory  building  with  common 
rooms  was  built  at  the  head  of  Elmsley 
Place.  An  expen.sive  but  little  thought 
of  building  made  necessary  by  these  new 
buildings  was  a  new  power  plant  built  in 
1936.  It  is  one  of  the  most  modern  and 
efficient  in  the  city. 

The  new  building  provided  a  more 
fitting  home  for  the  Institute  of  Mediaeval 
Studies,  and,  since  it  had  library  and 
classroom  accommodation  large  enough 
to  meet  the  needs  of  the  newly-trained 
members  of  the  faculty,  steps  were  taken 
to  obtain  ecclesiastical  recognition  for  it. 
This  came  in  1939  when  His  Holiness  Pope 
Pius  XII  acting  on  the  unanimous  petition 
of  the  Canadian  hierarchy  granted  it  the 
status  of  a  Pontifical  Institute,  the  first  to 
be  established  outside  of  Rome.  When 
Father  McCorkell 's  term  of  office  expired 
in  1940.  the  present  Superior,  Father  Mc- 
Lauirhlin,  was  chosen  from  the  Institute 
Staff. 

The  past  decade  has  been  one  of  ever 
increasing  academic  efficiency.  The  mem- 
bers of  the  staff  have  had  longer  training 
before  entering  upon  their  teaching. 
To-day  the  High  School  staff'  alone 
has  more  and  higher  university  degrees 
than  the  entire  faculty  had  at  the  be- 
ginning of  Father  Carr's  regime.  Better 
work  is  expected  and  obtained  from  the 
students.  In  1936  the  College  ceased  to 
offer  instruction  to  pupils  who  had  not 
passed  their  entrance  and  now  boys  are 
received  only  at  the  ninth  grade.  If  they 
continue  through  five  years  High  School, 
four  years  in  Arts  and  five  more  years  at 
the  Pontifical  Institute  thej'  may  spend 
14  years  before  exhausting  the  educational 
opportunities  afforded  locally.  It  seems  a 
long  time,  but  the  Institute  now  has  a 
student  body  of  nearly  fifty,  counting  full 
time  and  part  time  students,  who  have  put 
in  the  nine  preliminary  years  either  here 
or  elsewhere.  An  important  factor  in  the 
progress  of  the  College  has  been  the  re- 


Twenty-Six 


cent  growth  of  the  Congregation  of  St. 
Basil,  which  directs  its  destiny.  In  1922 
a  decree  of  the  Sacred  Congregation  of 
Religious  separated  the  American  and 
French  provinces  and  the  hundred  year 
old  Congregation  began  its  second  century 
as  two  distinct  communities  each  with  its 
roots  in  the  old.  At  the  same  time  the  Con- 
gregation apju-oved  a  plan  of  the  Ameri- 
can Province  to  introduce  a  stricter  vow 
of  poverty.  Some  very  able  priests  felt 
that  the  old  way  was  best  and  availed 
themselves  of  the  permission  of  the  Holy 
See  to  enter  parish  work.  The  Congre- 
gation started  anew  with  'yl  ])riests,  24 
schola-stics.  and  4  novices.  The  next  four 
years  were  dark  years,  the  schools  were 
growing  but  vocations  were  few.  Then  in 
1926  vocations  began  to  increase.  In  that 
year  26  entered  the  novitiate.  Today  the 
Congregation  counts  172  priests,  109 
scholastics  and  18  novices.  Of  38  Basilian 
priests  now  on  the  full  time  College  staff, 
one  half,  19,  entered  the  Congregation  in 
or  since  1926. 

In  the  world  of  sport  the  name  of  St. 
Michael's  has  held  its  usual  high  place 
during  the  past  decade.  In  the  Arts  de- 
partment the  tendency  has  been  away  from 
extramural  activities  to  intramural  com- 
petition with  other  teams  on  the  Univer- 
sity campus.  Although  one  of  the  smaller 
colleges,  St  Michael's  ha.s  both  contributed 
a  goodly  number  of  players  to  the  Senior 
University  teams  and  won  its  share  of 
championships.  In  most  branches  it  is 
placed  in  the  groups  where  the  .strongest 
competition  is  expected.  In  the  High 
School  hockey  and  football  are  the  chief 
sports.  The  season  is  too  short  for  base- 
ball, the  facilities  are  lacking  for  basket- 
ball. St.  Michael's  has  pionered  the  intro- 
duction of  six-man  football  to  supplement 
the  older  type  of  game.  Tennis  is  a  recent 
competition  that  has  brought  out  a  num- 
ber of  expert  players.  But  hockey  is  now 
the  premier  sport,  and  it  has  shed  the  most 
lustre  on  the  name  of  St.  Michael's.  In 
the  winter  of  1933-34,  a  team  composed  of 
students  from  the  High  School,  with  some 


players  from  the  College,  won  the  Memorial 
('up,  emblematic  of  the  Junior  Hockey 
Championship  of  Canada,  with  such  ease 
and  reputation  that  the  Senior  champions 
refused  to  play  them.  That  great  team 
was  coached  b}-  Dr.  Jerry  Laflamme,  who 
had  been  a  member  of  the  Allan  Cup  team 
of  1910. 

The  past  fifty  years  have  been  years  of 
continual  progress.  What  has  been 
achieved  in  itself  is  notable,  but  what  is 
more  remarkable  is  that  the  stimulus  be- 
hind that  growth  has  come  from  within. 
Civil  laws  have  not  compelled  revision  of 
standards  to  more  advanced  curriculum,  St. 
Michael's  has  always  been  more  than  up  to 
the  mark.  More  important  still  the  College 
has  ever  been  alert  to  the  wishes  of  the 
Church  and  no  important  step  has  ever 
been  taken  without  due  ecclesiastical  ap- 
probation. In  this  matter  the  authori- 
ties have  always  tried  to  anticipate  the 
wishes  of  their  ecclesiastical  superiors. 
Judged  by  the  alumni  body  the  College  has 
been  successful  in  its  ta.sk  of  educating 
priests,  professional  men,  and  Catholic 
leaders.  Its  alumni  will  be  found  in  re- 
sponsible positions  and  worthy  of  the 
trust  reposed  in  them.  Lastly,  in  time  of 
war  it  has  not  been  found  wanting.  More 
than  five  hundred  alumni  have  hastened  to 
join  the  armed  services,  some  have  already 
made  the  supreme  sacrifice.  Two  former 
Principals  of  the  High  School,  Fathers 
McGahey  and  Lynch  have  joined  the  chap- 
lains'  corps  and  three  other  Basilian 
former  members  of  the  staff,  are  also  chap- 
lains. Among  the  students,  preparations 
to  serve  go  on  in  the  University  C.O.T.C. 
and  Training  Battalion,  and  in  the  High 
School  Cadet  Corps.  Within  the  build- 
ings are  situated  the  headquarters  of  the 
80th  Company  of  the  Veterans'  Reserve, 
which  has  recently  joined  up  for  active 
service. 

Ninet.y  .years  have  come  and  gone.  Ten 
more  years  will  see  the  centenary.  What  it 
will  be  like  depends  on  the  students  of 
the  last  nine  decades.

Thirteen-One — A  Play 

(With  humblest  apologies  to  Mr.  Shakespeare) 


Vouchsafe  to  those  that  do  not  know  these 

guys, 
That  I  may  prompt  them ;  and  of  such  as 

do, 
I  humbly  pray  them  to  admit  the  excuse 
Of  inability  and  lack  of  time, 
Which  cannot,  in  their  huge  and  proper 

life, 
Here  represent  them.     Can  these  words 

portray 
The  desky  fields  of  13-1  ?  or  may  we 

examine 
Within  this  tiny  page  the  very  faces 
That   did   atfright   the   teachers   at   St. 

Mikes? 
Suppose  within  tlie  limits  of  this  page 
Are  now  confined  some  forty  fellows, 
With  high  upreared  and  jutting  noses, 
Now  entertain  conjectures  of  a  time 
When  school  boj'S  yawn,  and  bells  do  toll, 
And  name  each  hour  of  drowsy  morn. 

The  scholars 


Like  sacrifices,  by  tlieir  undone  home- 
work, 

Sit  patiently  and  only 

The  coming  danger,  and  tlieir  gestures 
sad, 

Investing  lank,  lean  cheeks  and  war-worn 
coats, 

Presenteth  them  unto  the  gazing  teacher 

So  many  horrid  ghosts.  But  for  their 
sake, 

Let  this  acceptance  take.

Desmond  FitzGerald — T  don't  think  that's

to  the  wall,  like  this.  Then  you  can't

Thirteen-Two 


To-day  we  are  classmates — to-morrow 
we  will  be  separated,  each  going  in  dif- 
ferent directions  and  engaged  in  ditferent 
occupations.  Some  will  continue  their 
studies  at  the  University,  others  will  en- 
ter into  business  life,  some  will  join  the 
armed  forces  and  some  will  be  called  to 
the  priesthood.  However,  until  then  we 
are  all  members  of  Thirteen-Two. 

Prom  far  and  near  the  students  flock 
to  Thirteen-Two.  Hitschfeld  and  Neu- 
rath  come  from  war-torn  Europe.  Marois 
from  Quebec,  Hodgson  Marshall  from 
Montreal  and  Henry  Klasen  from  Prince 
Albert.  Davis  hails  from  Kapuskasing, 
John  Fischer  from  Walkerville,  John 
O'M'ara  from  St.  Catharines,  George  Reb- 
stock from  Ridgeway,  Earl  Longarini 
from  Sault  Ste.  Marie,  Tommy  Halpin 
from  London,  and  Bob  Pelletier  from 
Port  Carling. 

Some  of  the  prides  of  our  room  are  the 
happy-go-lucky  Norm  Eversfleld,  and  so- 
cial light  Walter  Ross.  Lawrence  La- 
mantia,  John  Wilson,  and  Bill  Fullerton 
are  the  silent  trio.    George  Runnels,  John 


Kelly,  Frank  Buckley  and  Jim  Mclsaac 
are  usually  engaged  in  a  heated  discus- 
sion about  last  night's  game,  while  Jack 
Phoenix  laughs  at  the  antics  of  genial 
Art  Cahill.  Not  many  people  know  that 
the  girl  next  door  does  Wes  Sumner's 
homework  and  that  Harold  Levick  and 
Eugene  Mulhall  intend  to  be  lawyers. 
Jacques  Lachapelle  and  Phil  Cryer  are 
amiable  fellows  who  are  amused  b.v  the 
whisperings  of  Herb  McCarthy,  Jim  Coul- 
ter, Grant  Meyers  and  Gerald  Murphy. 
The  giants  of  the  room  are  Bill  Arm- 
strong. Bill  Yewish  and  Paul  McGovern. 
While  the  bell  is  ringing  Jack  Hauseman 
slips  .slyly  into  his  seat,  while  Tom 
B.vrnes  compares  last  minute  answers  with 
Bill  Walker  and  Lawrence  Lamantia. 

The  cadet  corps  has  several  capable 
leaders  in  Thirteen-Two.  Sam  Rich  is 
a  major.  Jack  Hartman  is  R.S.il.  and 
Fred  Hicke.v,  ticket  salesman  extraordin- 
ary, is  a  sergeant.  Hicke.v  and  Brislan 
have  joined  the  R.C.A.F. 

Athletes  galore  honour  our  room  with 
their   presence.     Paul   Morrison,    Frank

School  football. 

Paul  Duji:gan  was  on  the  Junior  team. 
John  Marois,  Tom  O'Neill.  George  Reb- 
stock,  Bob  Stanton  and  Farrell  Galla- 
gher were  well-known  ]\Iaj()r  stars.  Gref?. 
Garter.  Ernie  and  Gerry  ilidjjhall,  and 
Jack  MeReavy,  who  gives  the  people  of 
Blind  River  a  break  durinj?  the  summer

This  year's  Thurible  editor  was  chosen 
from  our  room  in  the  pei-son  of  J(rhn 
Bolaud. 

This  is  a  short  review  of  the  characters 
of  Thirteen-Two ;  it  is  very  inadequate 
and  the  only  way  you  can  really  know 
these  young  men  is  to  be  in  class  with 
them.  We  are  sorry  that  our  five-year 
stay  at  St.  Michael's  is  at  an  end.  "We 
hope  and  pray  that  the  efforts  we  have 
made  to  obtain  a  sound  Catholic  training 
will  bear  fruit  in  the  future  for  the 
Church,   our   country   and   ourselves.

Father — Oh  !  keep  quiet ;  go  on  Piatt. 
Charlie   Doherty — How    does  that    'exire 

valunt'  fit  in,  Father? 
Father — Is  that  the  fat  man?    What's  he 

want?     Say,   Dodd,   where    were   you 

last  night? 
George  Dodd — Oh  gee!   I  forgot  all  about 

it. 
Father — Well !   I'll   be   receiving  to-night 

again  in  the   same  place.     Fa.ve,  put 

that  thing  away. 
Larry  Faye — It's  one  of  the  new  Canadian 

Registers,    Father.      There    are    some 

pretty  good  jokes  in  it. 
Father — Translate,  Fenn. 
Bill    Fenn — I   couldn't    understand   what 

'cuius'  was.  Father. 
Father — What's  'cuius 
Matt.    Nealon  —  Hugh 

know. 
Father — Cass? 

Leonard  Casciato — Ob,iective  genitive. 
Father — I'd   just   like   to    catch   up    with

up  a  window,  will  you.  Big  Fo? 
Hugh  Fole.y — The  top" one?? 
Father — Translate  Whizzer. 
Bob  White — (painful  silence). 
Father — No   good,   Whizzer.     See  me  to- 
night.   Ernie  Midghall,  how's  the  John 

boy? 

Ernie  Midghall — Pie  pl^ed  last  night  and 

he  is  kind  of  tired. 
Father — O.K.      Translate — oh,    you   don't 

know  this;  you  were  at  a  dance.   Mel, 

what  construction  is  this? 
Mel   Shand — (Hey!  Fo,  pssssst,   what  is 

it?)     Ahhh — hendiadys. 
Father— What? 

Mel    Shand — All   right,   I'll   see   you   to- 
night. 
Father — Let's   see.      Jack,    I   don't   think 

,vou  know  this. 
Jack  McCart — That's  funny,  I   have   the 

same  feeling. 
Father — Bill,  tell  us  what  you  know  about 

Catullus.

Twelve-One 


To-day  in  the  world  of  education,  hif?h 
atop  the  mountain  of  Knowledge  stands 
the  country  of  St.  Michael's.  Just  like 
any  other  country  St.  Michael's  is  com- 
posed of  cities,  towns  ,and  villages,  hut  the 
part  of  the  country  which  in  my  opinicm 
contains  the  most  illustrious  and  distin- 
guished citizens,  is  the  town  of  12-1.  Owing 
partly  to  the  proximity  of  12-1  to  the  office 
of  the  prime  minister  of  St.  Michael's, 
Father  McTntyre,  and  partly  because  of 
the  select  number  and  merits  of  its 
citizens  I  think  that  this  town  can  rightly 
be  called  "The  Capital  of  St.  Michael's."' 

Permit  me  to  act  as  your  guide  to  ac- 
quaint you  with  the  unique  members  of 
this  budding  metropolis.  First  of  all  let  me 
introduce  you  to  the  mayor  of  12-1,  Father 
Clemens.  For  such  a  distinguished  com- 
munity I  do  not  think  any  better  choice 
could  have  been  made.  It  has  been  chiefly 
to  his  tireless  interest  that  this  town  has 
leached  the  high  position  it  now  occupies. 
Now  allow  me  to  give  you  a  panoramic  view 
of  the  lives  of  the  individuals  which  com- 
prise this  thriving  township.  .    .    . 

There's     our     genial    President,    Jack 


Kearney,  unanimou.sly  elected  the  town's 
leading  citizen,  and  when  not  in  office  he 
and  Gerry  Q.  T.  Orsiui  can  be  seen  plough- 
ing the  gridiron,  crashing  thro-ugh  for  the 
double  blue.  Bulbous  and  smiling,  Joe 
Ruta  is  over  there  standing  outside  his 
General  Store  as  Jim  "Sandwich"  Crow- 
ley looks  longingly  at  sandwich  material 
in  the  window.  Say !  what  do  you  know, 
here  comes  the  band  down  the  street;  we 
proudly  boast  that  "WE"  form  the 
nucleus  of  that  organization.  Now  let's  see, 
who  we  can  see  in  it.  At  the  end  of  that 
contraption  that  is  a  crass  between  "I- 
don't-know-what  and  a  trombone"  is  Bill 
Young  (since  Bill  wrote  this  article  and 
since  he  is  the  most  unassuming  citizen  we 
have— his  modesty  wouldn't  permit  his 
telling  you  that  he  is  "our  brain"  but  he 
is,  and  we  are  really  proud  of  him  for  all 
around  that  brain  there  is  built  a  goodly 
portion  of  a  very  fine  young  man— The 
P^ditor).  There  go  Ruta  and  Crowley  now 
to  add  their  numbers  to  the  band,  and 
pointing  out  our  prides  and  joys  we  see 
Bill. O'Leary  bellowing  with  his  baritone, 
and  Jerry  Stangret  with  his  soothing  sax ; 


Thirty-Six 


Wally  ,Mildon  and  Alan  Levey,  a  bit  corny 
on  the  cornets,  and  John  Egsgard  and 
Jim  Kinney  tooting  trumpets;  ]-5ob  Hall 
tooting  that  trombone  and  Allan  Tierney 
behind  that  bass  there.  Archie  Parker  and 
liasil  (Iregoire  with  the  upside  down 
horns  de  francais — all  of  whom  matured 
musically  under  the  tutelage  of  that  kind 
conductor,  Mr.  Borre. 

In  the  research  lab  yonder,  those  two 
diligent  tigure.s  there  bending  over  test 
tubes  and  chemicals  are  Jack  Butler  and 
John  Davies.  Their  unceasing  and  .  con- 
clusive experiments  have  brought  a  great 
deal  of  fame  to  their  home  town.  Don 
Goudy  is  occupying  the  chair  of  music  at 
Wool  worth's,  where  he  pounds  the  ivories 
upon  request.  Taking  a  peek  into  the 
town's  arena  will  give  you  some  idea  of 
just  who's  who  in  hockey  in  this  locality, 
"Ray-Ray"  Midghall  buzzed  about  quite 
])rominently,  -Joe  Marzalik  and  John  Ben- 
nett where  team  mates  on  the  Midgets  and 
figured  largely  in  bringing  them  cham- 
pionship laurels.  Those  two  industrious 
figures  feverishly  working  pushing  jiencils 
are  Ken  Wilson  and  Don  Tanner,  mathe- 
matically-minded men,  whom  we  point  to 
as  the  town  auditors.  There  is  always  a 
town  philosopher  and  we  have  ours,  yes, 
its  Ed.  Doran.  Now  we  can't  always 
adopt  his  philosophj^  but  he's  a  character 
that  makes  our  town,  as  I  said  before, 
unique.  That  intelligent  looking  individ- 
ual talking  interminably  is  Jim  "Red 
Wing"  Enright,  Jack  Adams'  publicity 
man ;  no  doubt  he  is  now  arguing  about 
the  merits  of  the  Wings.  Irish  "Million 
Dollar  Smile"  O'Shea  contributes  most  of 
the  wit  to  12-1.  Some  day  Don  perhaps 
will  have  his  own  radio  show  for  what  has 
]?ob  Hope  that  Don  hasn't?  (no  cracks, 
Don,  please);  12-1 's  contribution  to  the 
world's  best  literature  and  at  the  sanje 
lime  the  world's  worst  spelling  is  Rex 
Winhall.  Rex  is  just  as  accomplished  in 
giving  excuses  for  his  tardiness  a.s  he  is  in 
writing.  Winsome  Bob  0 'Boyle,  a  late 
arrival  to  our  town  from  12-2,  a  suburb  of 
12-1,  has  lost  no  time  in  winning  a  place 
of  prominence  with  us.     That  slim   indi- 


vidual cultivating  vegetables  in  his  back 
yard  over  there  is  Jim  Wightman ;  a.s  a 
farmer  no  one  is  said  to  be  able  to  equal 
Jim's  dexterity  in  handling  a  plough. 
Frank  Redican  is  said  to  claim  Centre 
Island  as  hi.s  home,  but  from  the  looks  of 
that  brush  cut  we  are  wondering  whether 
that  island  isn't  Alcatraz.  Wavy  haired 
John  Wilson  is  our  contribution  to  the 
social  .set.  while  Denis  "Mickey"  McBride 
can  be  found  when  wanted  at  our  bowling 
allej'  at  the  end  of  the  main  street,  and 
that's  just  where  we  are  now,  so  if  you 
don't  mind  I  kind  of  think  that  I'd  like 
to  bowl  a  few  over  mvself,  so  I'll  sav  s'long 


now.   .  .

Bill  Graham — Well,  he  wrote  in  simple 
language,  so  these  guys  shoiild  like  it. 

Father — O'Hanlon  and  Mar.shall,  get  your 
faces  away  from  that  window.  No- 
body wants  to  see  you.  Big  Lobraico ! 
tell  tlnat  boy  to  keep  quiet.

Father — Vince,  did  you  study  this?  You 
didn't  know  it  last  time. 

Vince  Lundy — I  studied  it  like  everj'- 
thing.  Father.  I'm  glad  you  asked  me 
because  this  is  the  one  time  that  I 
know  it. 

Father — Now  don't  make  a  speech.  I  just 
asked  you  if  you  knew  it.    Sit  down. 

EPILOGUE. 

Thus  far,  with  rough  and  all  unable  pen 
Our   weary   author   has   described   these 

fellows. 
In  little  room  confining  many  men. 
Mangling  by  starts  the  full  course  of  our

Small  time,  but  in  that  .small  most  greatly 

lived 
These  fellows  of  XIII-1.

Friends  in  learninjr  T  have  fonnd,  seem 
to  possess  a  dejrree  of  friendliness  equalled 
nowhere  among  people  working  together 
with  a  common  end  in  view.  In  12-2  the 
end  which  breeds  this  friendship  is  Educa- 
tion. We  are  all  .striving  for  promotion 
to  Honor  Matric,  and  in  doing  so  are  united 
in  a  brotherhood  of  amatory  companion- 
ship. 

Jack  Harper,  curly-headed  blonde 
bomber  of  the  Midgets,  holds  the  Interme- 
diate Speed-Skating  Championshi]i  of  the 
School,  and  combines  with  Ad.  Bellevance 
for  highest  schola.stic  achievements.  In 
my  estimation  Jerry  Ilickey  was  one  of  the 
most  consistently  good  players  of  our 
fighting  "A"  team,  while  our  Rhetoric 
specialist.  Bill  Conway,  and  Boarder  Jack 
McReavey  from  Blind  River  (wherever 
that  is)  upheld  12-2  honours  in  Junior 
"B"  Hockey  and  High  School  Football. 
Bus  Sadler  also  shone,  a  12-2  star  on  the 
' '  Buzzers. ' ' 

An  interesting  group  of  noon-day 
bowlers  comprises  the  indispensable  talents 
of  Dick  Anderson,  Joe  Agius  and  Jerry 
O'Gorman.  Rotund  Albert  Viola  shoots 
(so  I'm  told)  a  very  mean  game  of  Snooker 


and  his  pal,  Joe  Solar.ski,  of  Junior  High 
School  Football  fame,  has  held  a  City 
Wrestling  Championship  for  118  pounders. 

To  the  recently  formed  rifle  team  our 
Class  has  given  five  of  its  students.  Bob 
Jordan,  Jack  McPherson,  John  Sheehan, 
are  the  first  line  of  marksmen,  while  Stan 
Matus  and  Hugh  Piatt,  have  merited 
places  on  a  Reserve  squad,  soon  I  hope  to 
obtain  berths  with  the  "regulars." 

Jim  Bennett  kept  the  class  in  high- 
lights in  the  FhII  Tennis  Tournament  and 
was  undefeated  until  late  in  the  contest. 
Paul  Shoobert  and  Bob  O'Boyle  counter- 
act the  seriousness  of  any  class,  but  main- 
tain a  countenance  of  deception.  They  are 
the  ])ersonification  of  innocence  in  class 
"cutter-uppers." 

Rum  and  Maple  smoker  Joe  Walker  can 
stump  any  teacher  with  his  queries,  and 
Jim  McCool  answers  the  impossible  ones 
with  a  response— just  as  impossible.  Frank 
McLaughlin  adds  his  usual  matter-of-fact 
laugh  to  the  absurdity  of  the  whole  thing. 

"Man  about  town"  Bern  Roach  and 
"Two  Ton"  Sullivan  hit  that  line  for  our 
Grid  team.  Well  dressed,  unassuming 
Jack   O'Connor  hides  his  brilliance  as    a 


Thirty-EujM 


student  under  ((uiot  pleasantness  as  does 
studious  Jim  liowie.  Georn;e  Kaye  took 
several  weeks  off  to  have  scarlet  fever  and 
s?row  a  few  inches,  but  he  is  O.K.  now. 
Two  more  outstanding  athletes  are  in  l'2-2, 
Bill  Saya,  quarterback  on  the  Hijili 
School  football  team  and  Joe  Cleary,  froalie 
for  the  Majors.  Our  coming  sartorial  ex- 
pert is  Bill  Walker.  Herb.  McCarthy  is 
at  his  best  in  the  summer  on  the  diamond. 
Hugh  Piatt,  a  dynamic  dervish  of  the 
courts,  gave  John  Marois  quite  a  tussle 
for  the  tennis  championship. 

Bill  Kidd,  is  12-2 's  gift  to  the  girls  of 
S.J.O.S.  (but,  too  bad,  girls,  I  hear  he's 
joining  the  Air  Force).  Bill  (How  he 
hates  it)  "Wilbur"  Lee,  possesses  a  pair 
of  shoulders  he  claims  are  Irish. 

Derm  Cidlen  is  the  (Mass  jthilospher 
and  authoritty  on  Symphonies,  but  keeps 
his  knowledge  to  himself,  possessing  a 
quietitude  of  nature,  most  uninformative. 

These  specimens  of  youthful  manhood 
combine  to  form  the  Room  12-2.  Cham- 
pions in  every  line,  there  is  not  one  who 
would  not  be  a  credit  to  his  school,  teach- 
ers and  faith. 


WHO  KNOWS  WHAT  EVIL  LURKS 
IN  THE  HEARTS  OF  MEN? 

The  two  men  stared  at  each  other  for 
a  brief  instant,  seeming  to  delve  into  the 
very  pits  of  each  other's  eyes.  One  of  the 
men,  Jim  White,  wore  a  petrified,  stupid, 
stare  as  of  a  trapped  animal,  terror  graft- 
ed into  each  sweating  feature  of  his  ashen- 
gray  face  The  other  with  a  cold,  merciless 
veil  of  mocking  treachery  seeming  to  be 
reflected  from  his  harsh  eyes.  They  ap- 
peared to  be  measuring  each  other's  every 
thought,  following  with  their  minds  even 
the  smallest  movement  of  the  other. 

White,  cowering  in  a  chair,  was  shud- 
dering openly,  while  fantastic  thought.s 
flitted  thi-ough  his  mind  in  disordered 
array.  He  observed  frantically  that  there 
was  no  escape,  no  way  of  eluding  this 
terror.  lie  sat  there  trying  to  calm  his 
nerves,  to  prepare  for  what  would  in- 
evitably come. 

The  other  man,  tall  and  rugged  look- 


ing, surveyed  him  with  a  coldly  calculat- 
ing stai'e  and  meditated  how  to  finish  the 
deed. 

Slowly  he  brought  his  hand  from  be- 
hind his  back,  to  disclose  the  terrifying 
glittering  object.  Slowly,  steadily,  he 
placed  one  hand  on  the  shoulder  of  his 
sweating  victim,  closing  it  like  a  steel  vice 
fi'om  which  there  is  no  escape.  Hardly  seem- 
ing to  move,  or  even  breathe,  he  bent  to 
wards  White,  who  was  staring  with  capti- 
vated eyes.  The  face  above  approached 
closer  and  closer,  the  hand,  with  the 
small  wicked  object,  floated  upwards  till 
it  hesitated,  only  a  moment,  barely  an 
inch  from  the  now  wholly  defeated, 
stricken  White. 

The  spell  M'as  broken  as  the  hand  sud- 
denly moving  inward  with  a  grasping, 
twisting  motion, — a  convulsive  brief 
struggle,  and  Jim  White  sat  back  gasp- 
ing, and  groaning  softly,  as  the  tall  man 
straightened,  breathing  fast,  still  clutching 
the  fastidious  instrument.  His  voice 
broke  the  stillness, — "You  are  finished 
now,  Mr.  White." 

"Thanks,  Doc,"  whi.spered  Jim;  "how 
much  do  I  owe  you?"

THE  HIGH  NEWS. 

In  the  March  20th  issue  of  the  Cana- 
dian High  News,  St.  Michael's  was  given 
the  feature  position.  An  entire  page  was 
devoted  to  accounts  of  the  history  of  St. 
Michael's,  athletics,  the  band,  dramatics, 
cadet  training  and  the  Year  Book.  This 
page  was  edited  by  John  Boland,  with  the 
assistance  of  Des  PitzGerald  and  Rex 
Wiidiall.  The  paper,  which  is  the  world's 
largest  student  publication,  has  always 
been  enthusiastically  received  by  the  boys 
and  the  issue  featuring  St.  Michael's  was 
given  an  even  greater  welcome.  The 
"High  News"  is  undoubtedly  becoming 
more  and  more  popular  with  the  students 
of  Toronto's  high  schools  and  its  editors 
are  to  be  congratulated  on  a  fine  news- 
paper and  on  the  spirit  of  goodwill  they 
are  developing  between  the  secondary 
schools  of  Toronto.

Taking  a  gander  at  the  above  page, 
Yon  see  the  faces  of  many  a  sage, 
Who    liave    stiick    to    the    grind    through 

'41-'42, 
And  if  your  interest  is  'aroused,  I'll  des- 
cribe them  to  you. 

We  won't  go  by  size  from  taller  to  shorter, 
But  we'll  stick  to  that  old  alphabetical 

order. 
So  saying,  we'll   first  describe  Abel, 

Charlie, 
Whose  heart,  it  is  said,  is  shared  almost 

entirely 
Between   Latin,    English    and    a    certain 

heart-beat. 
But    enough,    for    now    comes    Atkinson, 

Doug, 
Whose    '29   Ford   sure   deserves    a    good 

plug, 
Or  the  tirst  thing  he  knows  he'll  be  using 

his  feet. 
Our  only  'B'  is  Bewley,  Tom, 
A  romantic  figure,  a  second  Don  Juan, 
In   whose    presence,    it    is   known,    many 

hearts  faster  beat. 
Coming  down  a  wee  bit,  we  see  Gerry 

Cook, 


The  Mimico  lad  with  the  winsomeful  look. 
Who    heaves    a    mean    chalk    with    nary 

defeat 
Except    from    Couture,    the    elastic    band 

shot 
Who   is   known    on   the   rifle   team    as    a 

pretty  good  shot. 
(They  say  he  is  the  best  in  the  school, 

bar  none). 
A  history  student  who  is  in  the  know 
Is  our  quiet  mate,  Joe  Curcio. 
Now  we  come  to  the  lad  from  Clarkson 
Whose  smiling  face  is  beaming  at  you 
Prom  the  page  above;  he  is  Curran,  Hugh. 
Alas,  for  now  we  come  to  the  one 
Whose  opinions  are  usually  very  contrary. 
Of  course  I  mean  DesLauriers,  Gerry. 
Bill  Dewan,  "Now  there's  a  boy,"  as  Fr. 

Dolan  says. 
Whose    scholarly    appearance    hides    his 

romantic  wa.ys. 
"Ilaym  and  Aigs,"  says  Phil  Dwyer,  who 

lives  across  the  border. 
He's  an  Irish  Yank  and  is  tough  enough 

to  be  a  boarder. 
Have   you   ever  heard   of  Waterford? 

That's  where  Grass  used  to  grow 


Forty 


Before  lie  left  the  country  to  come  and 
'get  in  the  know.' 

"Warren!  what  were  yon  doin"'  instead 
of   yonr   home-work,    lad?" 

"Xothing,  Father,"  said  Warren,  and  the 
teacher  looked   sad. 

So  he  tnrned  to  Holt  and  said,  "What 
wei'e  yon  doinp;,  son?" 

"Ilelpinjj  Warren,  Father,"  and  their 
story  was  undone. 

The  Howley  boys,  now  there's  a  iiair 

Whose  system  is  beyond  debate 

For.  jrettinp:  out  of  toughest  .ings, 

And  for  holidays  they  alternate. 

The  stage,  the  ice  and  oratory 

Are  play  things  in  Kirby's  laboratory. 

A  football  player  with  'guts'  in  his  make- 
up 

Ts  our  own  little  George  "Baby-Face" 
Jacob. 

Bright-eyed  Bruce  Lang,  fi-cni  a  Colle- 
giate torn 

To  attend  St.  Mike's  and  have  his  ears 
sh  orn . 

As  is  always  the  case,  we  have  our  'boo- 
gie-woogie' lover. 

Paul  Lynes.  from  Montreal,  who  knows 
ililles  from  cover  to  cover. 

Jim  McGuigan  and  Alex.  La  Roque,  the 
scientific  wizzes, 

Who  are  seldom  ever  stuck  on  chemistry 
quizzes. 

Columbia  proudly  gives  us  Morales,  Or- 
lando, 

Jollier  than  ever  with  his  appendix  ex- 
tracted not  long  ago. 

Joseph  Nail,  and  Jim  Bennett,  likeable 
fellows  for  true, 

Who,  if  you  do  them  a  favor,  will  do  the 
same  for  you. 

William  Muir  joined  our  ranks  when  class 
was  well  under  way, 

Whom  we're  used  to  now  and  hope  he'll 
stay. 

Our  Ken  Nealon  is  well  known  as  the  Red 
Skelton  of  Twelve-Three, 

His  wit  and  wisdom  endless  seem,  when 
he  goes  on  a  spree. 

Of  course  no  class  would  be  complete 
without  the  name  O'Brien, 

So,  naturally,  we  have  ours,  his  name  is 
Paul,  but  Obie  suits  him  fine. 


Gerry  Pacquette,   the   mighty   mite,    also 

graces  a  seat  in  our  room  ; 
lie's    another    chalk    thrower,    for   whom 

was  invented  the  broom. 
At  this  time  we  would  like  to  pay  tribute 

to  Pifford,  John, 
First  in  the   cla.ss,   industrious,  studious, 

but  this  could  go  on  and  on. 
Dynamic  Cecil  Schnial,/.  our  hockeyist  of 

■   no  little  fame, 
A   late   addition  to  our  class  is  Bernard 

Roach,  . 
The  "red   herring"   boy   of  R.  K.   whose 

-     fish  bi-ing  him  reproach. 
Our   slow   talking   ','Whitey"   Bob    Silcox 

played   Senior  football   this  year. 
And  had  the  most  injuries  because  of  lack 

of  fear. 
When  the  silence  of  our  class  is  broken 

any  time  during  the  day. 
We  turn  to  "wizard?"  Webster  to   hear 

what  he  has  to  say. 
And  when  seeking  knowledge  of  chloro- 
form, for  Young  we  send  a  wire, 
A  very  likeable  fellow  and  pride  of  St. 

Michael's  boys'  choir. 

There  they  are,  you've  met  them  all, 
From  A  right  down  to  Z, 
And  if  the  rhyme  at  time  did  fall, 
Don't  be  too  hard  on  Bill  Murphy. 


THE  TEACHER. 


Tlie  day  starts  pleasant  for  us  all, 
But  soon  we  hear  the  teacher  call. 
Asking  questions,  left  and  right. 
Finding    soon    we're    not    too    bright. 

We're  the  "dumbest  bunch"  he  ever  knew, 
So,  he  assigns  some  work  for  us  to  do. 
Then  when  we're  wrong,  for  we're  seldom 

right, 
The   homework   we    get   keeps   us   up    all 

night. 

We  hope  our  efforts  are  well  spent, 
P^or  we  would  please  this  kindly  "gent," 
A  teacher  has  his  faults — we  but  two. 
Everything  we  say,  and  everything  we  do.

"wise-cracks"  at  us;

Johnny   Morrison,    gymnastic    goalie,    is 

always  jumping  about, 
Al    Smith,    a   nonchalant    nomad,   keeps 

wandering  in  and  out ; 
Pete  D'Agostino,  demon  debater,  can  talk 

you  blue  in  the  face, 
Doug    McGillivray,    prolific    puck-netter, 

just  stares  off  into  space. 
Gordon  Stinson,  a  future  physician,  has 

many  queer  quirks,

Ileintz  variety  of  smirks. 
Pat   Powers,   popular  president,   wears   a 

very  winning  smile,

Paul  Kane,  a  scholarly  athlete,  is  always 

on  good  behavior, 
Roy    Mitchell,    an    all-arounder,     handles

Gerry  Hector,  petit  stopper,  really  kicks 

out  the  rubber  heel. 
Bob   Pendrith,    potential    playwrite,   telhs 

jokes  that  made  Adam  squeal ;

who   answers  the   door, 
Phil  White,  a  gabby  gadabout,  is  always 

pacing  the  floor;

Bob    Wilson,    mighty    mountain,    has    no 

equal  in  height. 
Which  gives  Ed.  McTague  the  "blues  in 

the  night." 
Tom    MeConkey,    relentless    reader,    ever 

seeks  for  higher  knowledge, 
Bruce    MacDougall's    classy    clothes    give 

you  a  preview  of  college; 
John    C'lune   is    a   lackadaisical    lounger 

whose  dreaming  is  never  done, 
John  Mooney's  expert  excuses  could  get 

by  anyone. 
Gerry    Stewart,    a   capricious    cut-up.    has

John  Shelton's  creamy  complexion  could 

advertise  famous  lotions; 
Tom  Newberry's   wandering  hairwave   is

Clare    Sullivan,    proficient    puttser,     has 

gone  to  the  Maritimes, 
And  these  are  the  boys  who  make  up  the 

room   where   we   had   so   many   good 

times.; 
On    their    multitudinous    merits    I    could 

for  pages  ramble  on. 
But  here  I'll  stop  and  hope  you've  enjoyed 

these  lines  by

THE  WAY  OF  THE  BLIND. 

T  walk   the   streets   and    listen. 
For  1   caujiot   see 
The  beauty  of  God's  nature. 
Which  lies,  untouched  by  me. 

The  cheerful,  chirping  robin, 
The   garrulous,   chattering  squirrel, 
These  sounds  T  hear,  but  what  are  sounds 
To  me,  in  such  a  world? 

I  ride  upon   the  trams 

And  hear  the  people  say 

"That  boy  he's   blind,   poor   chap, 

If  he  only  had  a  way." 

Pools!     I  have  a  way. 

Thrice  blest,  more  rich    than   theirs. 

The   Way   of  God,    which,    in   my   lonely 

hours, 
Consoles  me  like  a  prayer. 

The  Way,  that  when  all  time  has  lapsed. 
Ignites  into  a  flame, 
And  brightens  to  a  greater  day 
When  the  seeing  and   the  blind   are   the 
same. 

John  Cornett,  IX-4. 


ST.    MICHAEL'S 


ON  BEING  LATE. 

The     gnawing,     haunting,     awful,     inner 
dread. 
The  racing,  jumbled  thoughts,  the  hope- 
less haste, 
The  knowledge  of  a  crisis  to  be  faced, 
Tlie  meni'ry  of  a  late  vacated  bed ; 
The  stillness  of  the  long  familiar  stairs. 
The  loneliness  ovitside  a  bolted  door. 
The  reckoning  of  punishments  in  store, 
The  silent  contemplation   of  your  cares; 
The  sentence  passed,  and  then  the  looking 
back. 
The  search  for  that  on  which  to  place 

the  blame. 
The  reasons  and  the  causes  all  too  lame. 
The  punctuality  you  find  you  lack: 
In  spite  of  these,  in  spite  of  sorrow, 
I  know  that  I'll  be  late  again  to-morrow.

He  has  a  point  there,  so  he  is

They  all  suddenly  realize  they

Quesnelle  asks  him  why  he  didn't

that  the  teacher  hears  him. 
O'Grady  asks  does  he  have  to 
think  up  an  excuse  for  Quesnelle, 
too. 

Brennan,  who,  besides  coming 
from  Nova  Scotia,  has  other  pe- 
culiarities, guffaws  loudly. 
Mr.  Boland  asks  for  the  history

(or  is  the  word  levels?)  every- 
thing. 

O'Reilly  vohniteers  to  go  and  get

gone. 

R.  K.  coming  up ! 
Black  asks  a  question. 
The  boys  ai-e  tired  of  it  now,  and 
yell,  "Siddown!"  which  he  does. 
Fr.  Cullen  couldn't  get  him  to  do 
that  for  twenty  minutes;  one  word 
from  the  boys  and  he  does  it.  It 
goes  to  show. 

The  bell !  It  sounds  good  to  O'llara,

There  is  much  to  be  said  about  XI-3, 
and  only  a  writer  of  exceptional  talent 
could  do  justice  to  our  class;  so  don't  ex- 
pect too  much  from  me.  If  one  happened 
into  XI-3  at  any  hour  of  the  day  he  would 
find  it  virtually  a  bee-hive  of  activity 
(especially  when  the  teachers  are  chang- 
ing; classes).  However,  there  are  some 
boys  in  our  midst  who  vie  with  one  an- 
other in  their  desire  for  knowledge  and 
academic  awards.  Keg.  Prower,  Jack  Cart- 
right,  and  Frank  Vetere  are  our  customary 
cultivators  of  culture. 

We  are  proud  of  our  embryo  arti.sts  for 
the  musical  world,  namely,  Prank  "Con- 
servatory" Corless,  Ed.  LaRose,  Basil 
Breen,  and  Bill  Flynn,  of  Father  Ronan's 
male  choir.  We  take  great  pride  in  pre- 
senting to  you  Jack  Drury,  who  won  the 
Senior  Oratorical  contest.  Gerry  Pocock 
and  Dave  Watson  helped  to  cultivate  the 
audience  in  St.  Joseph's  Auditorium,  last 
Fall  in  Father  Crowley's  sensational  hit, 
"You  Can't  Take  It  With  You." 

We  also  have  three  "good  will  ambas- 
sadors" with  us  in  the  persons  of  Ralph 


Balzac  from  Porto  Rico,  Tom  IMcCaifery 
from  Cuba,  and  the  congenial  Frank 
O'Leary  from  New  York  City  and  Peter- 
borough. 

In  the  field  of  sport  we  boast  such  stars 
as  Paul  Pelow,  Tom  Gately  and  Steve 
Coates.  all  of  the  Minor  Midgets;  John 
Frezell,  Al  Beatty,  and  John  Costigan  of 
the  Junior  High  School  football  team; 
Curtis  Spearin,  John  Ellard,  Frank 
April e.  Bob  Mvddoon,  and  Mike  Ritchie,  all 
of  Senior  House  League  Football  fame. 

Among  the  newcomers  to  St.  ^Michael's 
last  fall  were  the  following,  who  brought 
with  them  a  pleasing  diversity  of  brains 
and  wit:  Ken  Roach,  John  Howorth,  Vin- 
cent O'Donohue,  Jim  Carpenter,  Jim 
Shaughnessy,  Bill  Koch,  John  McNamara, 
Charlie  Ivey.  Pat  Durning  and  Frank 
Larkin. 

No  class  is  complete  without  them  and 
we  are  happy  to  present  our  cartoonists, 
John  Rob.son  and  John  "Drummer" 
Clancy. 

Not  even  school  administrattion  is  out- 
side our  sphere  of  influence  and  Howard 
Cash,  minus  his  appendix,  sees  to  it  that 


Forty-Six 


the   course   of   studies   proceeds   promptly 
and  re<rularly  throughout  the  day. 

These  talents  and  many  others  are 
pooled  in  a  common  quest,  and  the  year 
1941-42  has  seen  us  advance  one  step 
nearer  our  sfoal — five  years  of  Catholic 
education  in  a  Catholic  High  iSchool. 


FATE. 

Tlu'  water  lapped  gently  against  the 
gunwale.  The  boat  rose  and  dipped  with 
the  swell.  The  torn  sail  flopped  crazily 
in  the  wind. 

To  the  men  in  the  boat  each  passing 
moment  brought  nearer  a  horrible  real- 
ization of  apjiroaching  doom.  It  all  seem- 
ed hazy  to  them;  none  knew  clearly  what 
had  happened.  A  sharp  explosion,  a  rip- 
ping sound,  followed  by  the  order  to 
abandon  ship.  There  had  been  enough 
boats  for  all.  During  the  ensuing  houi-s 
they  had  drifted  apart  and  battered  by 
the  waves,  one  had  sunk.  Now  only  one 
remained.  This  fragile  craft  in  whose 
hands  rested  the  fate  of  the  men  aboard 
her. 

The  mate  sat  disconsolately  iipon  the 
prow.  The  bosun  lay  babbling  incoher- 
ently in  the  depths  of  the  bo'at.  The 
stoker  alternately  cursed  and  sang  while 
he  vainly  strove  to  keep  the  boat  from 
being  swamped  by  the  incoming  water. 
The  passengers  lay  huddled  at  the  far 
end  of  the  boat.  A  haggard-faced  priest 
striving  to  calm  an  hysterical  woman.  An 
old  man  was  quietly  praying  with  his 
rosary  entwined  about  his  fingers.  The 
last  of  the  passengers,  a  young  boy,  was 
sitting  staring  into  the  gloom  with  the 
tears  coursing  down  his  cheeks. 

It  grew  colder.  The  wind  rose  and 
the  boat  tossed  and  pitched  at  the  mercy 
of  the  rolling  waves.  The  men  in  the 
boat  redoubled  their  bailing  efforts.  The 
bosun  lapsed  into  unconsciousness  while 
the  stoker  increased  his  cursing.  Despite 
the  cold  the  priest's  brow  was  wet  with 
sweat.  The  old  man  huddled  closer  to  the 
bottom  of  the  boat.  The  boy  slept  in 
the  woman's  arms  underneath  the  priest's 


coat.     The  wind  turned  into  a  gale.     The 
sky  darkened  and  snow  began  to  fall. 

Queer  forms  seemed  to  float  past  the 
men's  eyes,  taunting  their  imagination. 
Mountainous  waves  appeared,  threaten- 
ing to  swamp  the  boat  at  any  moment. 
The  snow  fell  heavier.  A  blanket  of  white 
settled  over  all,  lulling  the  men  into  a 
false  sense  of  being  in  some  magic  land 
but  they  were  soon  brought  back  to  a 
harsh  world  of  reality  by  the  bitter  cold 
and  the  pitching  of  the  boat.  Weird 
sounds  penetrated  the  eerie  stillness  of 
the  night.  The  darkness  pressed  closer 
until  it  seemed  it  would  crush  the  boat 
into  its  shadowy  depths.  The  evening 
wore  on  into  night,  a  night  full  of  lurk- 
ing terrors,  a  night  full  of  uncertain  emo- 
tions for  the  occupants  of  the  boat. 

The  mate  stared  into  the  impenetrable 
mist.  The  bosun  lay  strangely  quiet, 
while  the  stoker,  fatigued  by  his  inces- 
sant labour,  lay  snoring  loudly  against 
the  side.  The  priest  sat  cross-legged  and 
stared  transfixedly  vipon  the  mate's  back. 
He  was  pale,  thinner,  and  he  seemed  to 
be  weighed  down  by  a  sense  of  impending 
disaster.  The  old  man  dazedly  rattled 
his  beads  against  the  wood  as  he  mur- 
mured wild  prayers  of  despair.  The  little 
boy  still  lay  sleeping  in  the  woman's 
arms,  his  white  face  contrasting  strangely 
with  the  dark  coat  that  surrounded  it. 

Hours  passed.  The  cold  had  become 
painful.  The  last  shred  of  the  tattered 
sail  had  long  since  blown  away.  The 
helpless  bosun  was  freezing  to  death,  be- 
yond the  help  of  his  companions.  The 
men  were  finding  it  hard  to  move,  for 
their  clothes  were  frozen  on  their  backs. 
The  storm  had  abated  to  some  degree  but 
the  snow,  turned  to  hail,  rained  down  on 
them  with  a  merciless  fierceness.  The 
boat  was  wallowing  with  a  nauseating 
effect.  The  bailing  pan  had  been  wa-shed 
overboard  aiul  the  water  was  pouring  in 
faster  than  they  could  splash  it  out. 
Soon,  unless  help  arrived,  they  would 
sink.  Wave  after  wave  floundered  over 
the  hapless  occupants  and  they  w^ere  fast 
sinking.  Each  man  knew  what  that 
meant.  One  of  them  would  have  to  go.

Stevenson,  my  dear  reader,  once  told  a 
weird  story  about  a  man  with  a  dual  per- 
sonality; we  have  discovered  in  10-1  that 
lurkinir  behind  the  sober  smile  and  studious 
frown  of  each  and  every  scholar  in  this 
room  there  lies  a  second,  repressed  indi- 
viduality that  leaps  occasionally  into  the 
revealin<r  li^ht  of  day,  only  to  be  quickly 
dismissed  into  oblivion  ajrain  with  all  ex- 
penses paid.  With  hideous  deli<rht  then, 
we  seize  this  oi)portunity  to  drap  those  tor- 
mented spirits  into  the  .spotlight  which 
the  conventions  of  society  seek  to  deprive 
them  of.  In  our  analysis  we  dare  to  lift 
the  veil  and  allow  you  to  peek  beneath  the 
familiar  everyday  personality  to  meet  the 
Mr.  ITyde  that  sits  in  every  desk  within 
the  four  walls  that  .shelter  10-1.  Without 
further  delay,  then,  we  invite  you  to  ac- 
quaint yourselves  with  these  characters, 
amusinir  and  otherwise. 

There  has  been  a  rumour  jroinfj:  the 
rounds  that  the  shrill  voice  of  Peter  Sher- 
win,  our  poet,  is  in  reality  a  camouflased 
mofiaphone.  Roy  DeVaney,  master  of  the 
arts  of  actinj;,  oratory  and  compo.sition,  is 


just  another  politician  in  the  inaking.  Our 
two  Minor-Bantam  stars,  Tom  Selby  and 
Jack  Bullen,  wonder  why  they  can't  be 
on  the  Buzzers  like  Frank  Imonti ;  we 
smile  and  ch;in<re  the  subject.  John  llich- 
ards  is  a  submarine  commander  durinj? 
Mathematics  class,  and  we  hear  such  rav- 
in^rs  as:  "Prepare  torpedo;  enemj'  ship 
45  desrrees  off  the  hypotenuse  of  a  riprht 
trianirle." 

The  literary  leaninjrs  and  the  artistic 
eneriries  of  Paul  Wainhouse  and  Art 
Borron,  respctively,  have  been  seen  in  our 
class  paper,  The  Test  Tube.  Art  Howorth 
does  a  disappearin<r  act  on  the  nijrhts  of 
the  Jarvis  "Tea  Dances."  Now  that  there 
fire  no  more  new  cars  to  talk  alwiut  Bob 
Mushet  is  "tankful."  When  Doup;.  Bean 
isn't  busy  jrivinfr  military  orders  he  does 
a  very  fine  double  for  Fred  Astaire.  That 
is  the  master  of  the  ski  trails  who  prleams 
in  the  dreamy  eyes  of  Jim  Symmes. 

The  other  self  in  cherubic  Joe  Simone 
has  a  tendency  to  acquire  restaurant 
cutlery ;  Gordon  Thomp.son  is  possas.sed  by 
a   demon  that  makes  him  throw  open  les

fentres  in  zero  weather,  and  probably 
,<»-ives  him  that  icy  stare.  Dave  Sullivan's 
spirit  takes  wing  at  any  hour  of  the  day, 
preferably  in  one  of  the  P-40's  that  he 
himself  hopes  to  fly  some  day.  Paul 
O'Hara  has  a  dynamo  in  him;  that's  the 
secret.  And  since  the  opening  of  the  school 
library  what  we  thought  wore  Bernard 
Gillies  and  Jack  MeCann  have  turned  out 
to  be  Book-Worms. 

But  just  so  that  you,  dear  reader,  can 
join  in  the  fun,  I  am  going  to  give  you  now 
items  of  intimate  information  about  the 
rest  of  our  boys  and  let  you  decide  what 
personality  is  betrayed  in  each  one.  Our 
genial  companions  from  south  of  the 
border  are  still  to  convince  Paul  Muir  that 
New  York  is  bigger  than  Orangeville ;  Paul 
has  the  weightier  argument,  n'est-ce  pas? 
They  say  that  squirrels  follow  Joe  Marfise 
around  in  droves.  Joe  McNamara  and 
Frank  Penderga.st  amuse  themselves  mak- 
ing paper  doilies.  Stan  Przysiezniak  and 
Eddie  Power,  our  two  silent  companions, 
believe  that  actions  are  better  than  words. 
Joe  Hall  is  our  sole  alias ;  his  true  title  be- 
ing Lloyd.  Ed.  Ryan  is  another  St.  Pat- 
rick's fiend. 

Willie  Wilson  can't  refrain  from  eat- 
ing his  lunch  during  Latin  period  and 
Leonard  Trushinski  just  can't  refrain  from 
.sleeping  during  the  last  period  of  the  day. 
It  can  be  officially  stated  that  our  illus- 
trious Ilamiltonian.  Bill  Kennedy,  has 
headed  the  percentage  polls  every  time. 
Should  you  desire  that  studioiis  look  ask 
Jack  McDermott  how  he  grew  those  pon- 
derous eyebrows.  John  O'Connor  can  find 
so  many  devious  ways  of  arguing  a  point 
that  we  feel  sure  he  must  be  the  one  Avho 
thinks  up  Frank  Regan's  excuses  for  com- 
ing late.  Mike  Clarke's  curly  hair  was 
caused  by  brain  waves.  Peter  Kirby's  un- 
quenchable laughter  is  more  fun  than  the 
jokes  he  laughs  at. 

Bernard  O'Connor  is  one  of  our  friend- 
liest members;  he  loves  to  converse.  Fred 
Miller  is  our  convenient  substitute  for  a 
dictionary.  Bill  Whyte  and  Pat  Callan  left 
us  during  the  year  for  10-2;  we  refuse  to 
disclose  their  hidden  ])ersonalities,  but  to 
them  we  offer  our  deepest  sympathies. 


FATE. 

(Continued  from  page  47) 

The  mate  looked  at  the  priast  and 
the  priest  stared  squarely  back  at  him. 
No  words  were  spoken,  for  both  men  saw 
with  a  sinking  heart  the  thoughts  of  the 
others.  The  priest  without  further  ado 
began  to  take  off  his  shoes.  The  ma.te  in- 
terrupted him  with  a  restraining  touch. 
Then  followed  tearful  reproaches,  plead- 
ings and  threats  as  both  men  sought  to 
solve  the  plight  fate  had  placed  before 
them.  Their  own  safety  was  forgotten 
as  they  strove  to  prevent  one  another 
from  the  agony  they  knew  one  of  them 
must  face.  The  priest  won  out.  lie 
gripped  the  mate's  hand  in  a  passionate 
grasp  and  climbing  over  the  gunwale, 
slipped  quietly  into  the  water.  The 
silence  was  broken  only  by  the  creaking 
of  the  boat  and  the  broken  sobs  of  the 
mate. 

Some  time  later  a  huge  fog  horn 
boomed  over  the  void  waste.  The  mate 
leapt  to  his  feet,  his  heart  beating  wildly. 
Across  the  water  could  be  seen  the  twink- 
ling lights  of  a  convoy.  The  mate  scream- 
ed in  desperation  but  his  shouts  were 
drowned  out  by  the  re-echoing  booms  of 
the  horn.  Then  a  huge  black  bulk  loom- 
ed up  out  of  the  night  and  bore  down 
upon  the  boat.  The  old  man  beat  his  chest 
with  feeble  blows,  the  woman  fainted. 
The  mate  crouched,  gripped  with  terror. 
The  bow  bore  onward,  nearer  and  nearer. 
The  mate  uttered  a  strangled  shout  aiul 
grabbing  the  old  man  and  woman,  en- 
deavoured to  plunge  into  the  sea  with 
them.  There  was  a  rending  of  timbers,  a 
hoarse  cry  and  silence. 

The  sailors  pulled  on  their  rowlocks. 
Bits  of  wood  floated  'about  them.  A  mast 
danced  jerkily  on  a  wave  to  be  swallowed 
up  b.v  the  water.  They  bumped  against 
the  ship  and  lifted  the  limp  form  above 
their  heads,  where  strong  hands  eased  it 
to  safetJ^ 

"There  was  one  survivor.  Sir,"  said 
the  lifeboat  commander  to  the  Captain. 
"A  Priest."

Bruce  Howard.  The  latter  eight  are  also 
in  the  Senior  Band. 

Those  who  remain  are  exposed  to  the 


written  records  of  the  human  race  by  Mr. 
Boland,  our  History  teacher.  Here  we 
find  out  what  was  done  and  what  should 
have  been  done. 

Two  days  each  week  the  class  is  put 
through  the  paces  of  military  drill  by 
the  class  officers,  Campbell  MacLellan, 
Gerry  0 'Shea,  Fred.  Stolte  and  Brian  Hig- 
gins. 

Next  comes  Latin,  a  subject  of  which 
we  are  continually  reminded  that  "there 
is  really  nothing  to  it  that  study  won't 
remedy."  It  is  taught  by  a  true  master 
of  the  ancient  language,  Mr.  Pappert. 
During  the  class  Rowan  MacDonald  comes 
to  life  with  a  couple  of  wise-cracks,  while 
Bill  Enright  devises  a  few  practical  jokes. 
Through  it  all  silent  Clare  Huntley  sits 
with  nary  a  word. 

Ten-two's  hockey  players  are  in  the 
true  sense  of  the  world  all-stars.  Fast 
and  tricky  Johnny  Durant  plays  for  the 
Minor  Midgets;  elusive  wily  Warren 
Winslow  and  his  team  mates,  Jim  Marrin, 
Slippery  Sheedy,  Bruiser  Bracken,  and 
Powerhouse  Prendergast  all  played  with 
the    Bantams;    Armond    PitzGerald     was 


FifUj 


captain  and  star  right  wing  for  tlie  City 
Champion  Elinor  Bantam  team. 

Time  for  our  thinking  caps  comes 
with  the  arrival  of  Fr.  Killoran  for  French 
class.  Bill  Walsh  stutters  some  incoher- 
ent sounds  supposed  to  represent  a  French 
sentence.  But  Jim  Foy,  Gord  Ashworth, 
Jack  Mahcn  and  Pete  Kehoe  can  be  re- 
lied upon  to  come  througli  with  flying 
colours.  Among  the  inseparable  friends 
of  the  class  are  Joe  Foi'ster  and  Hugh 
Canning. 

The  afternoon  starts  with  English  and 
Fr.  Cullen.  The  meter  of  poetry  is  tapp- 
ed out  by  Ray  ]\Ic]\Ianus.  In  this  class 
we  have  discovered  two  amazing  debaters, 
Eddie  Black  and  Hugh  Canning. 

In  Fr.  Caird's  Geometry  Oliver  Cum- 
mins is  the  authority  on  axiom  one.  The 
final  class  of  the  day  is  spent  with  Fr. 
Crowley,  our  home  room  teacher.  This 
period  has  proven  very  beneficial  to  its 
as  Catholic  boys.  The  final  bell  rings 
and  we  depart  with  "reluctant"  steps.

THE  AWKWARD  SQUAD. 

Now,  amidst  the  fine  battalions 

Of  S.M.C. 
There  exists  (it's  really  horrible) 

A  squad  of  infantry 

After  seeing  the  boj-s  parade 

(With  their  caps  and  golden  braid) 

With  the  wrong  foot  forward 

Not  even  bending  warward, 

One  might  say  "They're  rather  slack, 

There's  something  that  thev  lack." 


For.  with  their  hands  swinging 
It  seems  that  they  are  barely 
Aware  of  .soldiers'  tasks. 


airily. 


So  the  good  sergeant  told  them. 
In  a  biting  tone  and  ci'is]i 
That  their  military  achievement 
Was  remarked  for  its  concealment. 
And  that,  excessive  vigour  lacking. 
They  must  stop  their  idle  slacking. 

Thus  he  spoke, 
And  they  awoke 


To  the  fact 
That  they'd  be  back 
In  junior  ranks. 

So  they  rallied  to  their  leaders. 
And  they  marched  with  quiet  .style, 
Till,  fatigued  with  their  exertions 
And  quite  through  with  such  excursions, 
They  collapsed  from  such  a  trial. 

Thus,  at  regimental  inspection. 
After  long  and  hard  reflection, 
Someone  made  the  strange  detection 
That  the  awkward  squad  was  absent. 

The  Colonel  \\  iped  his  brow, 
And  his  aide  said,  "Yes.  but  howl" 
(As  he  made  a  minion's  bow) 
Still  the  awkward  squad  was  absent. 

After  minutes,  slow  and  tedious. 
The  Colonel,  somewhat  bilious 
Stood  up  and  spoke  this  rather  wise  refrain 
"Now  I  love  you  'leven-two 
And  you're  good  men,  brave  and  true, 
But  it  seems  to  me  that  soldiering 
Is  not  the  job  for  you."

THINGS  OF  SIMPLE  LIFE. 

There  are  so  many  things  to  talk  of 
In  these  days  of  toil  and  .strife. 

That  we  seldom  pause  to  talk 
Of  the  things  of  simple  life. 

AVe  seldom  stop  to  appreciate 

The  seasons  as  they  come  and  go. 

The  gentle  chill  of  Autumn, 
Followed  by  Winter's  snow. 

Instead  we  think  we're  monarehs 
Because  of  the  progress  we've  made; 

But  we're  only  God's  creations. 
And  our  works  are  bound  to  fade. 

So,  why  not  stop  a  minute, 

in  your  rush  to  get  ahead. 
And  admire  .your  Creator's  perfection, 

And  humbly,  bow  your  head. 

Bill  Miirphv,

In  early  September  the  collective 
group  of  scholars  and  athletes  who  al- 
ready had  distinguished  themselves  in 
last  year's  9-3,  formed  under  the  banner 
of  10-3.  New  members  swarmed  in  such 
as  Jack  Williams,  Tom  Sanci,  Eric  Jen- 
sen, Frank  Gilbert,  Bill  Cooke  and  Tom 
Benns.  We  also  have  two  more  inmates 
who  endure  the  happy  lives  of  boarders. 
They  are  Roland  Benard  and  Maurice  Mc- 
Bride.     Lucky  fellows! 

We  finally  settled  down  and  held  elec- 
tions. Frank  Clarke  became  president 
by  an  overwhelming  majority.  Mike 
Mallon  survived  as  secretary.  And  in  my 
opinion  it  appears  as  if  our  "Whiz"  Pat 
Gravelle  will  again  snatch  the  General 
Efficiency  Title.  Opposition  trails  Pat 
under  the  form  of  Frank  Browne,  known 
for  his  fantastic  horse-laugh,  and  Rudy 
Nagel. 

Our  room  has  four  outstanding  T.H.L. 
players.  There  is  Ed.  Harrison  of  the 
Bantams,  who  comes  from  away  out  west 
every  day — from  a  place  known  only  to 
people  with  microscopes.     Then  we  have 


Ronald  Warner  of  the  Champion  Minor 
Bantams;  John  Geary,  the  man  with  the 
Ipana  smile,  and  Ken  Lynett  of  the  Mid- 
gets. 

This  year  our  room  team  smashed 
through  the  Noon  Hour  Hockey  League 
undefeated.  The  sextet  was  backed  by 
sharpshooting  Howard  Doyle,  Mike  Law- 
rence, "Tony"  Nadal  and  Ronald  Clarke. 
Doyle  carried  away  the  scoring  honours 
with  eight  goals  and  six  assists  in  eight 
games. 

In  our  room  we  have  a  couple  of  pre- 
historic personalities,  Al  Moss  and  Alex. 
MacLean,  who  can  hardly  squeeze  through 
our  portals.  In  one  corner  we  have  a  pair 
of  sleepy  soldiers — veterans  Korogyi  and 
Etienne.  There  is  Al  Ilill,  alias  Sam  Hill, 
and  young  Bernard  Smith,  who  had  his 
tonsils  taken  out  six  times  just  to  miss 
a  lot  of  school.  Fr.  Mclntyre  always  re- 
serves a  late  slip  for  Morin  and  Steph- 
ens. Dalglish  and  Henrickson  are  usual- 
ly seen  downstairs  at  recess.  Mike  Ewan- 
kin  follows  John  Mae  around — like  June. 
We  have  a  hotfoot  field  in  our  midst  also.

Ted  Tnsoldsby  is  usually  seen  with  smoke 
pouring  from  his  shoe.  That  is  one  of 
Burns'  burns.  Ileintzman  and  Quinto 
gave  up  homework  for  Lent.  Leigh  is 
our  room  artist.  Ayerst  is  skilled  in  play- 
ing a  ukelele.  "Molecule"  Millar  spends 
most  of  his  English  classes  at  funerals. 
Mel  Rouleau  is  usually  climbing  around 
the  wall,  moving  pictures.  He  is  either 
practising  for  Hollywood  or  proving  Dar- 
win's theory.  Towards  the  end  of  the 
year  Oliver  Cnnimiiis  and  Bill  Walsh  de- 
cided that  after  a  bad  start  in  X-2  they 
wanted  to  end  up  well,  so  thev  moved  in 
to  X-3.

THE  JEWS'  FLAT. 

'Way  back  in  1920  T.  S.  Melady.  whose 
son  is  now  in  X-2,  wrote  the  following 
masterpiece  in  the  Year  Book  of  that 
year. 

"Many  years  ago,  so  they  say,  the 
boys  who  had  I'oonis  on  the  top  flat  were 
seeking  a  name  for  their  Olympian  dwell- 
ing place.  In  due  course  a  little  incident 
suggested  the  name  by  which  the  upper 
regions  were  thereafter  called. 

"It  happened  this  way.  One  sultry  day 
the  boys  were  in  quite  a  grouchy  mood, 
due  to  their  long  hours  at  class;  so  that 
when  the  hour  of  freedom  came,  the  tired 
ones  went  to  their  rooms  to  have  a  short 
rest.  However,  they  were  not  long  left 
to  the  enjoyment  of  their  repose,  for  two 
Hebrews  came  up  and  began  asking  the 
boys  to  sell  them  rags,  bones  and  bottles. 
Nothing  doing:  the  lads  were  too  tired 
to  do  business.  But  the  bottle  buyers 
were  very  persistent — so  much  so  that  some 
of  the  boys  got  angry  and  told  the  Is- 
raelites to  be  off.  This  had  no  effect. 
The  ragmen  were  determined  to  get  some- 
thing. Finally  they  did  get  something, 
but  not  what  was  expected.  One  of  the 
budding  giants  of  the  top  corridors  came 
out  and  knocked  the  Jews  flat.  The 
story  was  told  by  many  mouths.  Every 
one  used  the  words  'Jews  flat'  so  often 
that  ever  afterwards  the  name  'Jews' 
Plat'  has  been  used  when  speaking  of 
the  topmost  rooms  of  the  house." 


Why  a  Year  Book? 

Most  of  us,  I  am  sure,  have  seen  or  at 
least  heard  of  many  people  who  have  the 
seemingly  peculiar  hobby  of  keeping  a 
diary,  or,  as  those  that  go  down  to  the 
sea  iu  ships  might  call  it,  a  log  book.  In 
this  book  they  record  with  monotonous 
regularity  and  astonishing  care,  the  min- 
utest details  of  their  daily  lives. 

They  jot  down  all  their  activities  and 
their  impressions,  their  joys  and  their  sor- 
rows, their  successes  and  their  failures, 
their  new  friends  and  news  of  their  old 
friends,  and  as  the  years  roll  by  this  log- 
book becomes  one  of  their  most  prized 
possessions. 

But  why  this  importance?  Why  should 
a  collection  of  little  details  seemingly  so 
unimportant  and  trivial  in  themselves, 
have  such  an  attraction  for  these  people 
and  cause  them  to  spend  long  hours  read- 
ing and  re-reading  the  pages  of  these 
diaries  already  yellowed  with  age? 

Whv  should  an  entrv  such  as,  "Tues- 
day, Dec.  7,  1939.  Snowed  all  day.  Work- 
ed hard(?)  in  class,  but  still  got  a  "jug" — 
Got  homework  done  early  and  after  sup- 
per went  to  the  St.  Michael's  vs.  Young 
Rangers  game  at  the  Gardens.  Met  so 
and  so  and  had  a  great  time.  St.  Mike's 
won  6-4" — be  of  any  value,  especially  to 
us  who  are  going  to  grow  up  and  make  a 
great  name  for  ourselves. 

These  details  get  their  value  simply 
because  the  memory  is  a  something  that 
forgets  (proof  for  this  statement  — 
see  the  mid  -  year  exam,  marks)  and 
it  would  seem  from  experience  that 
there  are  times  when  we  like  to 
remember.  Perhaps  when  the  going 
is  tough  and  the  future  looks  anything 
but  bright,  or  perhaps  when  we  are  out 
on  our  own  and  feeling  all  alone  and 
rather  blue  in  this  big,  big  world — then 
perhaps  a  quick  dip  into  the  pleasant 
memories  recalled  by  a  copy  of  an  old 
Thurible  will  turn  back  Old  Man  Time 
and  engulf  us  in  the  happiness  of  our  high 
school  days  at  St.  Michael's.

Nine-One 


Let  us  take  a  peek  at  those  fine  look- 
ing boys  wlio  are  peering  at  us  from 
above  as  we  read  the'se  lines. 

Our  class  president  is  the  likeable 
Irishman,  Jim  Kelly,  who  was  a  left- 
winger  on  the  city  champion  Minor  Ban- 
tams. He  also  played  for  St.  Vincent's 
Bantams,  the  local  C.Y.O.  champions.  We 
have  a  real  scientist  in  our  class  in  the 
person  of  Ed.  "Believe  It  or  Not"  Truh- 
lar. 

"Lucky"  Cliff  Olmstead  won  a  sea- 
son's ticket  to  all  the  St.  Mike's  games  in 
the  band  raffle.  By  the  way,  Nine-One 
has  been  called  upon  to  supply  the  future 
vacancies  in  the  Band.  Bill  Dennis,  Bill 
Unser,  Buddy  McGough,  Bobby  Hayes, 
Billy  Kotyck,  Don  Fraser,  John  Piatt, 
Paddy  Slyne,  Arnold  Teolis,  Bill  Broad- 
hurst, Bill  Deslauriers,  Charlie  Campbell, 
George  Alsop,  Bill  Boynton,  Bill  Holmes, 
John  White,  Louis  Vigneux  and  Harry 
Balfour  are  all  musicians. 

Grant  Murphy  and  Basil  Orsini  jump- 
ed from  stardom  in  the  noon-hour  Hoe- 
key  League  to  a  place  in  the  sun  with 


the  Minor  Midgets,  in  mid-season.  John 
Sullivan,  son  of  Frank  Sullivan  of  Var- 
sity Grad  hockey  fame,  and  Gerry  Moran 
played  for  the  T.II.L.  Bantams.  Jim 
Keenan  and  Bill  Holmes  played  for  the 
champion  Minor  Bantams. 

The  boarders  are  Charlie  "Gus" 
Campbell  and  Dick  Neville,  who  will  give 
a  helping  hand  to  anyone,  anywhere,  any- 
time. Whenever  there  is  any  noise  in 
the  class  you  can  be  sure  it's  the  youngest 
of  the  three  White  brothers,  John,  and  his 
partners,  Roy  Ettles  and  Al.  Walsh.  Take 
a  look  at  their  innocent  faces  up  above. 

Paul  "Red  Wing"  Harris  is  one  of  the 
most  dynamic  personalities  in  the  school. 
He  can  convince  you  of  anything.  He 
hails  from  Hamilton  and  is  a  great  sup- 
porter of  the  Tigers.  His  favorite  Red 
Wings  met  the  Leafs  this  year,  much  to 
"Red's"  pleasure  and  surprise.  But  his 
pleasure  and  surprise  suddenly  ended. 
In  his  spare  moments  he  printed  signs 
and  managed  the  Minor-Midgets. 

John  Rolston  is  a  member  of  St.  Mich- 
ael's Boj'   Choir.    Leon  Laprairie,   better 


Fifty-Four 


^^fc^^H 


known  as  "Lee  Lap,"  and  Dougr  Mae- 
Lellan  are  back  seat  drivers.  Tommy 
Pennylefiion,  nephew  of  Fr.  Pennylefjion, 
Des  Smith  and  Bill  Boynton  are  members 
of  Canada's  reserve  army.  George  Alsop's 
favorite  period  is  ^lath.  Class,  in  which 
he  irons  out  all  difficulties.  Captain  Bob 
Fletcher  led  Nine-One  to  the  noon-hour 
football  finals.  Bob  Enright,  ^Murray 
Dalfilish,  Gordon  Borron  and  Ed.  IMoran 
were  enthusiastic  assistants  on  the  Thur- 
rible  staif. 

Bob  Enright,  another  great  Red  Wing 
fan,  and  Murray  Dalglish,  are  great  pals 
and  cause  various  teachers  to  practice 
the  virtue  of  patience. 

And  so, Nine-One  followed  the  tradi- 
tions of  former  Nine-One  classes  of  other 
years  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  they 
continue  to  follow  the  best  tradition.s  of 
St.  ]\Iichael's. 


the  famous  family,  and  Pat  Kelly,  were  the 
forwards. 

In  those  days  of  primitive  sport  no  sub- 
stitutes were  allowed  and  periods  were  the 
half  -  hour.  Fences  of  'boards'  were 
co.stly.  so  a  capable  defence  saved  expendi- 
ture by  hoisting  opponents  .sky-high  into 
the  snow  pile.  No  body  pads  were  used; 
though  Fiench  note-books  were  allowed  on 
the  shins. 

Charles  McCrae,  for  the  Scots,  and 
Luke  Callan,  for  the  Yankees,  were  the 
most  enthusia-stic  of  the  fans. 

Monsignor  Crowley  is  at  Sault  Ste. 
Marie;  Rev.  C  D.  McCrae.  P.P.,  is  at  Glen 
Robertson.  Father  Pageau  is  dead,  T  be- 
lieve. Mr.  Fitzgerald  is  now  the  Sports 
Editor  of  the  'Evening  Telegram.'  I 
don't  know  where  the  others  are." 


ST.    MICHAEL'S    FIRST   HOCKEY 
TEAM. 

Away  back  in  1896  St.  Michael's  first 
hockey  team  was  organized  by  Rev.  Father 
P.  J. 'Kelly,  present  pastor  of  St.  Mary's 
Church,  Cobourg,  Ontario.  The  following 
passage  is  taken  from  a  letter  he  wrote  re- 
cently to  Father  Mallon : 

"Long  before  the  reign  of  King  Clancy 
or  before  hi.s  existence,  in  1896,  a  hockey 
team  was  assembled  in  St.  Michael 's,  and 
entered  into  a  local  league  including  Vic- 
toria, McMaster,  and  Knox  Colleges. 
Though  not  a  star  team,  it  had  consider- 
able success.  Knox,  if  memory  doesn't  fail, 
was  the  league  leader.  Ca.ssidy,  a  son  of 
the  venerable  college  .saw-bone.s,  played 
goal.  Jimmy  Fitzgerald,  the  grand  old 
back  stop  of  Coty  and  McDermott,  threw 
an  ugly  shoulder  at  point.  His  silent  but 
firm  pi-essurc  of  lips  did  not  ever  approve 
the  ladv-like  irentlene.ss  of  Pageau  at  cover. 
The  dignified  Rt.  Rev.  T.  (Crowley,  D.P., 
an  all  round  athlete;  Siss  Miley,  a  very 
tricky  stick  handler,  effeminate  only  in 
sobriquet ;  George  Roach,  a  youjig  scion  of 


FORMER    STUDENTS    ORDAINED 
THIS  YEAR. 

More  than  1,000  former  St.  Michael's 
students  have  been  ordained  priests  in  the 
past  90  years.  Thirteen  St.  Michael's 
boys  join  the  ranks  of  the  priesthood  this 
year.  Rev.  Basil  Kirby  and  Rev.  John 
Fullerton  were  ordained  for  the  China 
Missions  last  Christmas.  Six  St.  Michael's 
students  now  at  St.  Augustine's  Semin- 
ary will  be  ordained  on  May  30 :  Rev. 
Charles  LoBello,  Rev.  John  Meyers,  Rev. 
Claude  Mulvihill,  Rev.  John  Duffy,  Rev. 
John  ]\IcKenna,  Rev.  Thomas  Harding. 
Eight  more  will  be  ordained  next  year. 

Fifteen  Basilians  will  be  ordained  this 
year.  Five  of  these  attended  high  school 
here :  Rev.  G.  Agius,  Rev.  F.  Boland, 
Rev.  C.  Lavery,  Rev.  L.  Munnelly,  Rev. 
J.  Ruth.  Three  others  took  Honor  Matric 
here:  Rev.  E.  Pappert,  Rev.  F.  Pacior- 
kowski,  Rev.  J.  O'Meara.  Ten  members  of 
last  year's  seniors  have  begun  their 
studies  for  the  priesthood  at  various  sem- 
inaries. We  pray  that  the  class  of  1942 
will  send  their  quota  to  do  God's  work 
in  His  vineyard. 

Roy  Mitchell.

"All  the  world's  a  stajje — and  most  of 
us  are  only  staj>e-hands. "  Thus  did  the 
prophet  express  one  of  his  more  profound 
thoughts.  This  .statement  is  no  doubt  true, 
at  least  when  applied  to  the  group  above. 
In  the  present  day  with  the  fusion  (both 
"pro"  and  "con")  of  the  theatre  and 
radio,  the  above  quotation  may  be  aptly 
applied  to  Ye  Little  Theatre  Groupe  of 
Nyne-Tooh.  How  well  many  of  them  may 
be  compared  to  the  stars  of  stage  !  screen ! ! 
radio ! ! ! 

Pete  McDonough  may  be  called  the 
Dennis  Day  of  the  group— that  is,  when 
he  doesn't  gum  up  his  vocal  works  with 
a  package  of  spearmint.  It  is  whispered 
among  those  who  know,  that  Starret  and 
Benn  could  "sub"  any  day  for  Laurel  and 
Ilardy-however,  we  are  afraid  that 
Frank,  at  least,  is  a  "Has-Benn."  Tom 
O'Toole,  who  discovered  that  the  only  way 
he  could  get  into  a  cast  was  to  break  his 
arm,  is  the  type  of  star  who  is  happiest 
among  his  books— Hmm,  we  wonder! 

If  it  is  music  that  is  needed,  ju.st  see 
Murray    McLaughlin,    better    known    as 


"Wurlitzer"  McGlaughlin— he  can  give 
you  5e  worth  of  music  in  about  3  minutes. 
A  .script  for  any  type  of  play  can  be 
dashed  off  by  Greg  Higgins  or  Bill  Bar- 
rack—that is  when  they  are  not  writing 
poetry.  They  are  really  poets  at  heart 
and  have  written  their  favorite  poem 
"Lepanto"  at  least  12  times  each.  (Hear! 
Hear!)  Tf  sound  effects  are  needed,  we 
have  Ililliard  Charter  with  his  laugh  which, 
at  close  range  sounds  Horsey.  There  is 
also  John  "Charlie"  McCarthy  who,  when 
he  gets  four  i)ieces  of  gum  in  his  mouth 
at  once  sounds  like  a  buffalo  pulling  his 
foot  out  of  a  swamp. 

Joe  "Molecule"  Williams,  goalie  for 
the  Minor  Bantams,  would  make  an  ad- 
mirable usher  as  he  is  always  in  the  ai.sle. 
No  one  knows  what  he  does  there,  but  as 
Gerald  Masters  says  "Aisle  ask  him," 
(Applause),  Fred  Fullerton  would  make 
an  ideal  Master  of  Ceremonies,  as  he  is  a 
speaker  of  no  mean  ability.  In  fact  he 
not  only  can  give  speeches,  but  can  also 
knock  out  three  shorts  and  a  long  with 
his  knees  at  the    same   time,     Rav  Cuneo

may  be  hired  for  a  vaudeville  act  at  a 
moment's  notice,  since  he  is  the  ace  acrobat 
of  the  <rroup.  At  tim&s  he  has  been  taken 
for  a  professional  athlete  because  he  i)lay.s 
Ball  for  money.  (More  applause).  Len 
Kyan  is  the  type  of  star  who  likes  to  flit 
hither  and  yon,  but  to  date  he  has  done 
n(ithinii'  but  flit  hither  and  yawn,  (dales 
of  lauglitei-).  Leo  ISheehan,  Ki'ed  Dineley, 
and  Paul  Wilson  would  back  any  show. 
being  the  money  exchangers  of  the  group 
they're  always  exchanging  money  to  the 
one  who  wins.  Because  of  the  pull  he  has 
everywhere  he  goes,  George  Seholes,  Ban- 
tam star,  would  make  an  ideal  d(}orman. 
John  Klue  is  the  temperamental  type  of 
star:  and  in  working  with  him  a  director 
must  watch  his  P'.s  and  Klue's. 

Bernard  Nichols  would  make  a  great 
substitute  for  Bob  IIo])e— he's  always  try- 
ing to  get  his  5c  worth  in  (and  how!) 
Austin  Walsh  would  do  well  on  the  Uay 
Ninetj'  programme — they  say  that  his 
favorite  song  is  "Walsh  Me  Around  Again, 
Willie."  (Very  good!)  James  Cudmore, 
with  his  sterling  qualities  and  heai'ty 
laugli  could  easily  have  the  whole  feminine 
woi'ld  at  his  feet.  Cudmcu-e  be  desired  by 
Cudmore.  (Yoo-Hoo,  Jimmie!)  Paul 
"Slim"  La  Francois  is  too  honest  to  go 
into  show  business.  Just  by  looking  at 
him  you  can  see  that  he  is  all  wool  and  a 
yard  wide,  (at  least).  Dan  McGarrel,  Ber- 
nard Coughlin,  and  Dave  Morrissey  would 
be  good  electricians  for  any  studio— they 're 
always  putting  a  plug  in  for  someone, 
(ooooh!)  It's  a  toss  up  between  John  and 
Bruce  Brown  in  regard  to  the  leading  role 
in  "Tom  Brown's  School  Daze,"  but  if 
John  can  draw  an  audience  as  well  as  he 
can  cartoons,  he  will  no  doubt  be  chosen. 

Stewart  Crumpton  is  the  Eddie  Duchin 
of  Nj'ne-Tooh.  He  makes  a  superb  orches- 
tra leader,  as  he  always  knows  the  score. 
Pat  McGouran  is  the  type  of  star  who  has 
athletic  leanings — put  him  on  the  ball 
field  and  find  out.  However  he  has  found 
out  that  the  Arts  and  Baseball  don't  al- 
ways go  hand  in  hand.  When  trying  out  for 
the  team  he  might  be  able  to  knock  a  home 
run  but  when  he  tried  out  for  the  Nyne- 
Tooh  Quartette  he  didn't  even  get  to  first 
Bass.     It  is  rumored  that  Bill  Fitzgerald 


is  leaving  the  theatre  to  take  over  the 
position  of  Editor  of  the  'St.  Ijouis  Sport- 
ing News."  (Hear!  Hear!)  Leo  McCor- 
mick  is  the  one  who  keeps  the  group  enter- 
tained with  his  little  tid-bits  of  news.  We 
don't  know  where  he  gets  all  his  gos,sip, 
but  he  can  pick  up  more  dirt  than  a 
vacuum  cleaner.  John  Chapman,  with 
his  Gee-TAin't-Done-Nothin',  feather,  look 
in  his  eye,  claims  that  he  has  never  hurt 
himself  in  any  of  his  spills  during  a 
hockey  game,  because  he  always  falls  on 
a  hockey  cushion.  (Aii])lause  and  laugh- 
ter). Jack  Hazel  is  the  business  man  of 
the  group.  It  is  a  known  fact  that  Hazels 
papers  after  school.  (Alright!  See  if  you 
can  do  any  tetter!)  Joe  Nealon,  and  Paul 
De  Souza  would  be  very  good  critics,  as 
they  are  always  discussing  the  rest  of  the 
group  during  their  infoi-mal  little  chat 
which  they  hold  daily  from  !)  to  3.10.  Jim 
Donnelly  is  the  only  one  of  this  group  that 
is  interested  in  politics.  The  other  day  while 
working  over  his  potatoes,  and  discussing 
the  plebiscite,  he  said  that  the  eyes  have  it. 

Finally  we  come  to  John  Robertson  and 
Vincent  Tracey.  They  would  both  be 
ideal  for  a  minstrel  show,  as  in  this  write- 
up  they  are  the  end  men.  S'long!

YEAR  BOOK  EDITORS'  CONVENTION. 

The  Third  Annual  Ontario  Secondary 
School  Editors'  Convention  was  held  in 
the  University  College  on  the  twentieth 
and  twenty-first  of  February.  About  one 
hundred  and  twenty  aspiring  young  jour- 
nalists representing  many  Ontario  high 
schools,  gained  valuable  information  and 
covuitless  ideas  which  they  took  back  to 
their  own  schools  and  which  helped  them 
greatly  to  improve  their  own  publication. 

St.  Michael's  sent  three  delegates  to 
the  convention,  John  Boland,  Des  Fitz- 
Gerald  and  Rex  Winhall.  The  conven- 
tion was  opened  by  an  address  of  welcome 
given  by  Dr.  II.  J.  Cody,  President  of 
the  University  of  Toronto.  Other  speak-

Nine -Three 


Just  when  9-3  has  finished  its  pra^'ers 
at  9  o'clock  each  morning  and  is  settling 
down  to  work  at  English  under  the 
watchful  eye  of  Mr.  Pappert,  a  feeble 
knock  is  heard  at  the  door  and  in  puffs 
the  "late"  Mr.  Bell.  As  things  get  under 
way  again,  there's  a  crash  and  down  goes 
Kudy  Kozel's  ink  bottle.  Jim  Bastable 
makes  a  dive  for  it,  but  so  does  Rudy 
and  their  heads  collide  with  a  loud  crack. 
Order  is  restored  and  we  settle  down  again 
to  enjoy  the  beauties  of  the  English  lan- 
guage as  not  spoken  by  us.  Before  long 
Bob  Mollet  gets  restless  and  Carl  Leddy 
and  Jim  Douglas  join  him  in  a  comment 
or  two  which  are  usually  atoned  for  by 
"additional"  study  time  at  3.10. 

Next  comes  Mr.  O'Meara  to  unfold  the 
facts  of  History  to  us.  Our  "fashion  ex- 
perts," Ray  Chaput,  Bob  Seitz,  Jim  Law- 
lor and  Charles  Annable,  can  usually  be 
depended  upon  to  compile  an  answer  be- 
tween them,  althovigh  it  has  been  known 
to  happen  that  one  of  them  could  get  an 
answer  by  himself.  The  really  deep  prob- 
lems of  statescraft  are  ably  handled  'by 


Walt  Hansen,  Jerry  Hilton,  Basil  Jobin 
and  "Fedora"  Evaniski.  Having  learned 
all  about  the  rights  of  minorities,  we  pro- 
ceed to  ignore  them,  and  Terry  Dineen 
and  Mike  Hawkins  duck  for  shelter  as 
the  stam]iede  makes  for  the  door  at  re- 
cess. 

After  a  period  of  relaxation  we  niuler- 
take  the  mastery  of  French  at  the  direc- 
tion of  Pr.  Killoran,  but  only  after  Louie 
Quinn  has  "wolfed"  the  remains  of  his 
lunch  with  the  very  able  assistance  of 
Pete  De  Angelis  and  Gerry  O'Connor.  Ed. 
Sandford  begins  by  stuttering  over  the 
French  verbs,  so  Pierre  La  Chapelle  comes 
to  his  rescue. 

For  the  last  period  of  the  morning  we 
again  have  Mr.  Pappert,  this  time  for 
grammar.  It  is  a  case  of  his  patience 
against  our  carelessness,  but  after  a  long, 
hai'd  struggle  our  grammar  improved. 
Jack  Reid  mastered  the  tenses  of  the 
verbs,  as  did  Bob  Rhodes  and  Jim  Pren- 
tice between  arguments  about  relatives. 
We  noticed  an  improvement  too  in  the 
"Shore     Road"     gang     of    Jerry    Hilton, 


Fifty-Eight 


F'raiik  Byrnes,  Leonard  Cook,  IIupili  Kell.v 
and  "  Yokel   Boy"  Boresok. 

In  the  afternoon  we  go  to  the  "lab" 
and  are  amazed  at  the  profonnd  know- 
\edge  of  our  mad  scientists,  Ral])h  Blatt- 
ner  and  John  MacLean,  and  their  almost 
impossible  (piestions.  Tom  Doherty. 
Fraidc  Laufrhlin  and  Pete  De  Angelis  are 
impatient  to  get  to  math,  class  and  are 
always  anxious  to  get  there  early.  Mr. 
Silvester,  our  math,  teacher,  finding  them 
more  eager  than  reliable,  has  to  depend 
on  Stan.  Gavlicdt  and  Bob  Seitz  for  the 
solution  of  difficulties.  Besides,  Stan  has 
great  ambition  as  an  opera  star. 

Nine-three  also  has  its  brain  trusts. 
Jack  O'Brien  and  Mike  Ruff  are  continu- 
ally fighting  for  top  honours.  We  are 
justly  i)r()ud  of  Frank  Byrnes,  who  won 
the  Junior  Oi'atorical  Contest  with  the 
encouragement  of  Joe  "long  legs"  Cat- 
tana.  Music  also  has  its  charms  for 
Rudy  Kozel,  who  toots  a  trumpet  in  the 
band,  while  Art  is  the  favourite  pastime 


of  our  future  artists — Evaniski,  Ruff  and 
Harrison. 

Our  class  is  prominent  in  athletics 
too.  Ed  Sandford  Avas  the  high  scoring 
forward  on  the  City  Champion  Minor 
Bantams.  Dante  Cavotti  starred  for  the 
Bantams  and  Leonard  Cook  was  the  sub 
goalie  for  the  same  team.  Kozel  was  a 
tough  line  man  for  the  Junior  High  School 
football  squad.  In  the  noon  hour  hockey 
leaiTue  Terry  McDonald,  Wilf  Harrison, 
Hugh  Kell.v,  Basil  Jobin  and  Bob  Colucci 
were  the  Nine-three  stalwarts.  To  Don 
Levick  goes  undisputed  first  place  for  the 
longest  non-stop  gum  chew  on  record, 
and  to  Bob  Phillips  for  the  longest  period 
of  unbroken  silence. 

In  closing  we  must  mention  our  Home 
Room  teacher,  Mr.  ^McCarthy;  also  our 
Religion  teacher,  for  the  lessons  in  Chris- 
tian virtue  he  taught  us  and  which  we 
prize  above  all  else  as  being  something 
which  will  enrich  our  lives  in  the  future.

Nine-Four 


On  a  brifjlit  September  moriiiiifj:,  the 
7th  to  be  exact,  Nine-four  was  born.  Into 
this  room  flocked  forty  new  students,  the 
majority  of  whom  hailed  from  the  East 
end.  The  group  from  Corpus  Christi  was 
more  than  ambitious  to  capture  the  hon- 
ours and  win  Father  McGrath's  gold  me- 
dal. However,  the  end  of  the  third  term 
finds  Doug.  Archer  of  St.  John's  out  in 
the  lead.  We  surely  have  a  fine  scholar 
in  Doug. 

Hugh  Proudlove,  our  popular  Presi- 
dent, is  making  a  fine  job  of  his  many 
duties,  and  keeping  us  well-informed  on 
the  fortunes  of  the  Toronto  hockey  team. 

In  the  field  of  music  we  have  a  rising 
Paderewski  in  the  person  of  Neil  Smith ; 
Jim  Shortt,  alias  Billingsley,  the  boarder, 
is  also  endowed  with  this  fine  talent. 
Gordon  Shand  is  an  up  and  coming  spokes- 
man on  almost  any  topic ;  Harold  ]\IcDon- 
ald  represents  our  room  in  the  field  of 
dramatics. 

Athletes  are  a'plenty  in  Nine-four. 
John  Pougnet's  forward  passes  and  John 
Brown's  fine  kicking  would  be  welcomed 


on  any  team.  Hockey  seems  to  come  na- 
tural to  D'Arcy  O'llearn ;  lie  is  a  fast, 
smooth  player  who  accounted  for  many 
of  the  team's  goals.  Paul  Pendergast  and 
Basil  Akrey  are  a  pair  of  hard-hitting 
defencemen.  Leo  Bonhomme  is  our  high 
scoring  centre  star. 

Then  we  have  Bill  Trudelle.  the  boy 
who  amazes  the  class  and  the  teachers 
with  his  stupendous  queries,  and  Bill 
O'Mara,  who  is  convinced  that  he  is  an- 
other Red  Skelton.  Ken  Motfatt  has  a 
voice  that  will  enable  him  in  the  future  to 
succeed  Foster  Hewitt.  Henry  Wilkin- 
son's constant  and  adept  use  of  a  comb 
assures  his  future  as  a  hair-dresser; 
should  Henry  falter,  Joe  Lamantia  is  quite 
capable  of  taking  up  that  particular 
torch. 

Jim  Zavitsky  is  Oshawa's  gift  to  St. 
Mike's;  Jim  is  a  rough  and  tumble  hoc- 
key and  football  playei-  who  is,  in  his 
calmer  moments,  quite  a  ping-pong  play- 
er. Lawrence  LoPresti  is  the  boy  who 
likes  school  so  much  that  he  makes  it  a 
point  to  stay  after  three  o'clock  for  an- 


Sixty 


'^t^.»l^* 


other  t'lass.  Jack  Waj^ner  is  a  master  of 
many  arts;  singing,  bowling  and  spinning 
(yarns)  are  only  a  few.  D'Arcy  Sullivan 
and  Frank  Madigan  have  been  competing 
for  the  honor  of  being  the  biggest  midget 
of  Nine-four ;  experts  agree  that  D'Arcy 
wins  by  a  scowl. 

ITnbei't  Plielan  is  an  Orangeville  pro- 
duct and  a  boarder  at  the  school.  Tjco 
Honhonime  emigrated  from  CooksviJle 
every  morning  to  be  the  star  of  our  cham- 
pionship hockey  team.  Bill  Hall  is  an- 
other ace  puckster,  being  one  of  the  City 
Champion  Minor  Bantams.  There  seems, 
in  fact,  to  be  no  end  of  hockey  talent 
in  this  room ;  Howard  Doty  was  promoted 
to  the  Minor-Midgets  for  his  tine  work 
with  our  team,  and  Bernard  Holland  pro- 
vided the  spark  for  that  same  team. 

Melville  Doty,  Tom  Murphy  and  Ken 
Goldsmith  compose  the  Silent  Members 
Club;  after  all,  someone  has  to  listen. 
John  MeCann  is  the  humour  boy,  who 
doubles  in  Nine-four  for  Jack  Benny; 
Ed.  "Fred  Allen"  Lundy  provides  the  op- 
position. John  Holland  has  never  sat 
through  a  whole  French  period ;  we  hope, 
some  day,  that  he'll  arrive  on  time. 

Frank   Donnelly   is   seldom,    if   at   all. 


noticed  at  noon  hour.  We  wonder  what 
that  lunchroom  on  Yonge  St.  would  do 
if  it  didn't  have  the  monopoly  on  Frank's 
appetite.  John  Cornett,  an  honour  stu- 
dent, was  our  entry  in  the  oratorical  con- 
test, and  we  still  think  he  should  have 
got  the  nod.  Eugene  Donohue,  another 
A-1  student,  is  a  very  fine  bass  singer. 
He  has  yet  to  give  us  an  exhibition,  and 
we  ai'e  still  hoping — he  won't.  Jack 
Legge  is  our  touchdown  king  (and  a  fine 
student) ;  he  scored  100%  of  our  only 
touchdown  in  the  Noon  Hour  Touch 
League. 

Pat  Burns  is  known  as  "Encyclope- 
dia" for  his  predictions.  Pat  has  never 
come  through  with  a  correct  one ;  how- 
ever, he  keeps  on  trying.  Ken  Gariepy's 
Guppies  are  a  feature  of  the  Science  de- 
partment of  our  room.  Gerry  Quinn  is 
the  honour  student  from  Corpus  Christi; 
he  is  a  good  campaigner  in  any  activity, 
but  specializes  in  high  miarks.  Gerry 
Campbell's  perennial  pleasantness  is  a 
symbol  of  the  unity  that  exists  amid  all 
the  variety  in  what  we  consider  the  best 
of  ninth  grade  classes.

Commercial 


Commercial,  as  you  understand  (or  do 
you),  is  the  place  where  business  men 
are  made,  not  born.  It  is  the  centre  of 
knowledge,  business  affairs  and  otherwise. 
This  highly  esteemed  body — situated  dir- 
ectly opposite  the  inner  sanctum — where 
much  goes  on  but  of  which  we  hear  little 
(at  times). 

The  question  now  arises  as  to  who 
composes  this  intellectual  body  of  genius' 
— where  daily  one  may  hear  orations, 
discussions  and  speeches  on  world  events, 
industry,  business,  and  the  hockey  games. 

Let  us  look  in  on  the  mass  of  living 
brain,  the  lives  of  these  great  men,  build- 
ers of  empires,  these  destined  men  of 
finance  and  commerce. 

Jean  Bournival,  the  mascot  of  Com- 
mercial, is  a  little  French  boy  from  Sha- 
winigan  Falls,  Que.,  sees  all,  hears  all, 
and  knows  nothing. 

Leo-Paul  Castongua.v  does  more  book- 
keeping than  ever,  being  in  partnership 
with  Guy  Gauthier  but  they  discuss  the 
city  of  Quebec  with  its  beautiful  girls  or 
farmerettes. 

Jim  Coburn,  the  fair-headed  boy  who 


plays  hocke.y  for  Agineourt,  is  always. 
discussing  hockey  technique  with  Joe 
Irvine. 

Roger  Comtois  is  always  trying  to 
embarass  our  teachers  with  his  knowledge 
of  Theology. 

Claude  Delongchamp  is  always  de- 
monstrating how  he  is  going  to  sell  Black 
Horse  when  this  term  is  complete. 

Jean  Fortin,  also  from  Quebec,  never 
misses  the  formal  dances,  being  very 
fond  of  them.     Why? 

Wilfred  Lafontaine  is  always  consider- 
ed president  of  the  Department  of  Com- 
merce, is  also  our  commander  in  Military 
Drill.  "Bill,"  as  we  call  him,  is  the  best 
liked  boy  in  our  class. 

Vincent  Leblanc,  like  Lincoln,  seems 
convinced  that  honesty  is  the  best  policy, 
"With  malice  towai-d  none,  with  charity 
for  all  .  .  ."  lie  certainly  will  succeed  in 
business  ...  if  honesty  and  courtesy  are 
still  helpful  in  business  .  .  . ! 

Paul  Schreiner,  when  he  hasn't  his 
home-work  done,  always  says:  "I'm 
sorry,  sir,  I  forgot  my  books."

Senior  Sodality 


The  link  which  joins  our  academic  life 
with  Our  Lord  is  the  Sodality  of  the 
Blessed  Virgin.  It  is  in  this  society  that 
Ave  learn  more  fully  the  necessity  of  prayer 
and  devotion  to  the  Mother  of  God. 

The  Senior  Sodality,  under  the  care 
of  Father  Warren,  prepares  the  graduates 
for  the  pitfalls  of  life.  In  this  grim  era 
when  war  is  so  prominent,  we  must  be 
tutored  in  the  responsibility  which  we 
carry  as  graduates  of  St.  Michael's.  In 
the  army,  in  the  navy,  or  in  the  air  force, 
we  must  conduct  ourselves  as  true  Cath- 
olics. 

It  is  the  work  of  the  Sodality  to  en- 
courage devotion  to  Mary  our  Mother. 
Under  her  guidance  we  will  leap  over  the 
dangers  of  life.  Our  morals  and  our 
faith  are  strengthened  by  the  practice  of 
the  virtues.  Graduates  of  St.  Michael's 
are  proud  that  they  can  carry  the  banner 
of  Mary  long  after  thej'  depart  from 
school.  In  all  fields  of  life  they  can  stand 
firm  and  resolute  under  the  guidance  of 
our  Blessed  Mother. 

This  important  work  of  preparing  boys 
and  young  men  spiritually,  for  their  life 
in  the  future,  is  zealously  undertaken  by 
Father  Warren.  With  Tom  O'Neill,  our 
prefect,  assisting  him,  the  Senior  Sodality, 


this  year  as  always,  has  been  most  profit- 
able to  our  religious  life.  From  our  midst 
will  spring  priests,  business,  and  profes- 
sional men  who  will  always  cherish  the 
memories  of  those  happy  hours  spent  in 
the  Sodality.

Junior  Sodality 


In  this  world  to-day  more  and  more 
Catholic  gentlemen  are  needed.  The 
teachers  at  St,  Michael's  College  unselfish- 
ly devote  ninch  of  their  time  to  the  task 
of  training  their  young  students  to  love 
Our  Blessed  Lady,  for  they  realize  that  a 
devoted  son  of  the  Mother  of  God  will  al- 
ways be  a  true  gentleman.  For  this  pur- 
pose the  boys  of  St.  Michael's  are  en- 
rolled in  the  Sodality  of  the  Blessed  Vir- 
gin Mary,  which  is  supervised  by  Rev. 
Father  C.  P.  Crowley. 

Every  Tuesday  at  2.30  p.m.  the  junior 
members,  comprising  ninth  and  tenth 
grades,  gather  in  the  chapel  and  talk  over 
events  of  the  week.  After  this  short  re- 
view, the  members  kneel  down  and  say 
the  rosary  in  honour  of  the  Blessed  Vir- 
gin. For  the  first  half  of  the  school  term 
the  prayers  were  said  alternately  by  Fa- 
ther Crowley  and  the  congregation.  How- 
ever, in  the  latter  half  of  the  term  a 
sodality  representative  was  chosen  from 
each  room,  and  from  that  time  the  rosary 
prayers  were  led  by  a  representative. 

As  the  war  drew  closer  to  home,  the 
missions  were  momentarily  neglected. 
However,  in  order  not  to  neglect  that 
situation,  the  students  contributed  a  few 
pennies  out  of  their  earnings  each  week. 

As  a  result  of  this  love  for  Our  Lady 
many  boys  have  turned  towards  the  vo- 


cation of  the  holy  priesthood.  Others 
have  become  earnest  and  fervent  Catholics 
and  there  is  not  one  who  will  not  ask 
the  Blessed  Virgin  to  aid  him  in  every- 
thing he  endeavours  to  accomplish. 

In  later  life  a  good  Catholic  man  will 
look  back  over  the  years  to  the  day  on 
which  he.  was  enrolled  in  the  Sodality  of 
the  Blessed  Vii'gin  Mary  and  the  famoiis 
quotation  of  Father  Kelly  will  ring  in  his 
ears: 

"We  take  boys  and  make  them  men  in 
the  eyes  of  God  and  their  fellow-men."

The  Annual  Retreat 


Concentration  is  one  of  the  faculties 
of  the  mind  which  the  average  student 
utilizes  frequently.  In  order  to  absorb 
knowledge  one  must  set  his  mind  to 
studying  one  thing,  and  exclude  all 
thoughts  which  do  not  pertain  to  it.  In 
this  way  a  person  comes  to  know  a  thing. 


If,  however,  m  studying,  things  remote 
from  the  desired  subject  enter  the  mind, 
concentration  becomes  divided,  hence  full 
powers  of  concentration  are  not  devoted 
to  the  one  topic. 

Students  at  St.  Michael's  concentrate 
on  their  absorption  of  knowledge,  but 
they  also  concentrate  on  their  religion. 
This  brings  vis  to  the  subject  of  the  an- 
nual Retreat. 

My  conception  of  the  Retreat  is  a 
period  of  concentration  in  which  we  con- 
sidered ourselves  most  critically.  In  the 
course  of  these  three  days,  minds  and 
hearts  were  closed  to  things  of  the  world, 
and  were  tiu'ned  to  thoughts  of  the  Al- 


mighty and  what  His  future  held  for  us, 
in  shaping  our  temporal  lives  in  prepara- 
tion for  Eternity. 

Tliis  year  Father  Hankerd  conducted 
most  informatively  the  conferences  which 
comprised  the  nucleus  of  our  three  days 
of  concentration.  He  left  his  American 
home  at  Royal  Oak,  Michigan,  to  come  to 
the  school  to  preach  this  most  successful 
Retreat. 

A  good  many  of  the  bo.vs,  on  account 
of  current  conditions,  will  be  leaving 
school  at  the  end  of  this  year,  never  to 
i-eturn.  Father  Hankerd  covered  a  lot 
of  ground  when  he  placed  us  in  the  hands 
of  our  Universal  IMother.  He  spoke  to 
the  effect  that  as  long  as  we  had  recourse 
to  her  an  eternity  of  bliss  was  assured 
us.  All  of  his  talks  were  taken  in  with 
utmost  attention,  so  that  anything  which 
issued  from  his  eloquent  lips  fell  on  fer- 
tile ground. 

Silence  was  strictly  adhered  to  while 
the  students  were  at  school.  This  made 
for  better  concentration  since  thoughts 
foreign  to  a  Retreat  were  not  transmitted 
by  the  vocal  organs. 

Each  day  after  attending  Mass,  we 
listened  to  four  conferences,  the  interims 
of  which  were  passed  in  spiritual  reading 
or  private  talks  Avith  form  teachers  on 
vocations. 

There  is  nothing  so  consoling  for  a 
student  than  to  commence  a  scholastic 
year  endowed  by  the  superabundance  of 
graces  which  the  Retreat  provided.  Need- 
less to  say  it  would  not  be  out  of  place  if 
I  were  to  express  on  behalf  of  the  student 
body  who  participated  in  the  Retreat, 
our  thanks  to  the  Basilian  Fathers  for 
such  an  opportunity  and  to  Father  Han- 
kerd, who  gave  so  generously  of  his 
priestly  knowledge  that  we  might  see  the 
way  more  clearly.     May  God  bless  him.

In  Memoriam 


REVEREND  A.  A.  VASCHALDE,  C.S.B. 

One  of  the  most 
outstanding  Ori- 
ental scholars  in 
North  America, 
Rev.  Adolphe  Ar- 
thur Vaschalde, 
C.  S.B.,  S.  T.L., 
Ph.D..  died  in  St. 
Mary's  Hospital 
on  January  thir- 
ty-first, after  a 
lingering  illness. 
A  native  of 
France,  he  had 
been  professor  of  Oriental  literature 
at  the  Catholic  University  of  Ameri- 
ca, in  "Washington,  D.C.,  for  29  years  un- 
til his  retirement  because  of  failing  health 
in  1939. 

Father  Vaschalde  entered  the  Congre- 
gation of  St.  Basil  in  Plymouth,  England, 
in  1887,  and  completed  his  studies  in  Can- 
ada and  at  the  Catholic  University.  He 
was  ordained  to  the  priesthood  on  Julv 
14,  1895.  He  was  on  the  staff  of  St. 
Michael's  College  from  1903  until  1910, 
when  he  went  to  Washington.  During 
his  active  lifetime  this  untiring  scholar 
published  four  volumes  of  Syriac  texts 
and  companion  volumes  of  Latin  trans- 
lations in  the  scholarly  series  called  the 
Corpus  Scriptorum  Christianorum  Orien- 
talium;  he  was  planning  an  edition  of  a 
Syriac  translation  of  the  rule  of  St. 
Basil,  which  he  was  unable  to  complete 
due  to  poor  health. 

The  funeral  sermon  was  preached  by 
Monsignor  W.  A.  McCann,  P.P.  of  St. 
Francis',  Toronto,  an  ordination  class- 
mate who  noted  the  signal  honour  con- 
ferred on  Father  Vaschalde  in  1939,  when 
he  received  the  Bene  Merente  medal  from 
Pope  Pius  Xn,  for  his  long  and  faithful 
service  at  the  Catholic  University  of 
America.

REV.  T.  V.  MOYLAN,  C.S.B. 

On  Easter  morning, 
1942,  Rev.  Thomas 
Vincent  Movlan  died 
at  St.  Basil's.  Semin- 
ary. For  nearly 
twenty  years  he  had 
suffered  pati  e  n  1 1  y 
and  prayerfully  from 
sleeping  sickness.  On 
Good  Friday,  Father 
Moylan  started  to 
make  the  Way  of  the 
Cross.  He  was  un- 
able to  finish.  Two 
days  later  he  was  called  to  his  reward. 
Father  Moylan  was  born  in  Toronto 
61  years  ago,  and  wa-s  educated  at 
St.  Basil's  School  and  St.  Michael's 
College.  He  entered  the  Congrega- 
tion of  St.  Basil  and  was  ordained 
in  1906.  He  then  taught  at  Assumption 
College  until  1915.  After  a  year  as  Su- 
perior of  St.  Basil's  College,  Waco. 
Texas,  he  returned  to  Assumption  as 
Principal  in  1916.  Appointed  Master  of 
Novices  in  1922,  he  returned  to  Assump- 
tion three  years  later,  and  remained  tliere 
until  1930,  when  he  was  appointed  Spirit- 
ual Director  at  St.  Basil's  Seminary,  To- 
ronto. During  the  past  twelve  years,  the 
ravages  of  disease  gradually  incapacitated 
Fr.  Moylan's  physical  faculties.  How- 
ever, his  mind  remained  keen  and  pierc- 
ing, his  holiness  grew,  his  knowledge  of 
God  and  man  increased,  and  thus  he  was 
invaluable  as  spiritual  guide  of  the  sem- 
inarians. 

Fr.  Moylan  Avas  more  than  a  brilliant 
student,  an  unequalled  teacher,  a  holy 
priest  ...  he  was  a  great  and  saintly  re- 
ligious. While  he  suffered  so  in  sickness, 
he  prepared  for  death.  When  he  might 
have  sought  dispensations,  he  kept  his 
rule  to  the  letter;  while  it  was  an  almost 
impossible  task  to  keep  his  eyes  open,  he 
thumbed  slowly  and  prayerfully  through 
the  Divine  Office.  Fr.  Moylan's  life  was 
an  inspiring  example  to  the  young  semin- 


Seventy-Two 


arians  and  the  older  priests.  His 
]ove  of  God  and  His  Blessed  Mo- 
ther was  obvious.  No  more  need 
be  said: 

"He     loved     God     above     all 
things."

REVEREND  R.   T.  BURKE, 
C.S.B. 

Reverend  Richard  Thomas 
Burke.  C.S.B.,  stationed  at  St. 
Michael's  College  for  the  past 
eleven  years,  died  last  November 
twenty-second,  at  St.  Joseph's 
Hospital.  Eighty-two  years  of 
age.  Father  Burke  was  in  his 
fifty-fifth  year  of  the  priesthood 
and  had  enjoyed  good  health  until 
a  few  months  of  his  death. 

Born  February  fifteenth,  ISof), 
on  a  farm  near  Dundas,  Ontario, 
he  received  his  education  at  Gait 
Collegiate  Institute,  St.  Michael's 
College  and  Assmnption  College. 
Father  Hurke  was  ordained  to  the 
priesthood  by  the  late  Bishop  Car- 
berrv     in    Hamilton    diocese,    in 


1886,   and   in  1900  he  entei'ed   the  Congregation 
of  St.  Basil. 

Until  his  profession  of  vows  he  was  appoint- 
ed to  the  staff  of  St.  Michael's,  and  for  a  year 
to  St.  Basir.s  College,  Waco,  Texas,  after  which 
he  served  as  pastor  at  Owen  Sound  and  later  in 
Detroit.  In  1930  he  returned  to  St.  Michael's 
College,  where  he  was  engaged  in  the  work  of 
chaplain  until  his  death  last  November.  He  was 
the  oldest  member  of  the  Congregation  of  St. 
Basil.

Science  at  St.  .Michael's 


The  openiiij?  of  school  last  September 
saw  another  step  in  the  progress  of  Sci- 
ence in  the  School  .  .  .  the  opening  of  the 
newly  equipped  Physics  laboratory.  Above 
are  shown  several  groups  of  Middle  and 
Upper  school  stiidents  busily  engaged  in 
acquiring  a  first-hand  knowledge  of  their 
subject  in  the  up-to-date  laboratory. 

The  story  of  science  in  the  College 
school  is  as  old  as  the  school  itself.  In 
the  early  curriculum  of  the  school,  science 
was  taught  according  to  the  French  sys- 


tem, which  was  familiar  to  the  founders. 
As  early  as  ISilT  they  imported  apparatus 
from  Prance  which  was  used  for  demons- 
tration experiments.  Father  Soulerin, 
the  first  Superior,  taught  the  science  him- 
self. The  science  room  was  in  the  base- 
ment of  the  central  wing  (where  the  ath- 
letic room  was  this  year),  and  was  used 
for  other  subjects  as  well.  Science  then 
was  called  "Natural  Philosophy,"  and  was 
a  "soft  subject";  the  languages  claimed 
the  serious  attention  of  the  students. 


Seventy-Four 


When  the  High  School  changed  over 
to  the  Matriculation  system  in  1904, 
Chemistry  and  Physics  were  optional  sub- 
jects, and  many  students  elected  Greek 
in  their  place.  The  science  room  was  then 
located  on  the  second  floor  of  the  newly 
erected  wing  (where  X-3  classroom  was 
this  year).  Father  JNIeader  presided  over 
it.  ("lasses  were  small,  and  for  the  most 
part  the  students  either  worked  with  the 
teacher  around  the  large  demonstration 
desk,  or  watched  the  experiments. 

The  next  change  came  in  after  the 
war  when  the  enrollment  increased  and 
interest  in  Science  had  grown.  The  sum- 
mer of  1922  saw  the  library  in  the  base- 
ment converted  into  what  is  now  the 
Chemistry  laboratory.  By  this  time  Greek 
had  become  an  optional  subject  and  the 
majority  of  the  students  were  taking 
science.  In  the  new  laboratory  the  one 
Fourth  Form  did  their  experiments  in 
Physics,  and  the  two  Third  Forms  their 
experiments  in  Chemistry.  The  upper 
school  class  was  small  and  usually  held 
their  science  class  before  or  after  the  re- 
gular school  hours.  Second  Form  Physio- 
graphy used  the  demonstration  part  of  the 
laboratory.  Father  Storey  directed  the 
work  at  this  time. 

By  1936  the  enrollment  had  again  in- 
creased to  such  an  extent  that  the  use 
of  one  laboratory  for  both  the  Physics 
and  Chemistry  cla.sses  became  impracti- 
cal. In  that  year  Father  Kehoe  super- 
vised the  transformation  of  two  class- 
rooms on  the  first  floor  into  the  present 
large  demonstration  room.  These  rooms 
were  made  available  by  the  transfer  of 
the  University  classes  to  the  newly-erect- 
ed Teefy  Hall  on  Queen's  Park.  The  al- 
teration of  the  class-room  across  the  cor- 
ridor into  a  Physics  laboratory,  under 
the  direction  of  Fr.  Ruth,  makes  the 
unit  complete— laboratory,  demonstration 
room,  and  store  room — and  gives  the 
classes  in  Physics  the  advantage  of  per- 
forming the   experiments   themselves. 

At  the  present  time  almost  every  stu- 
dent in  the  school  is  taking  science.  Gen- 
eral Science  is  taught  in  the  four  Ninth 
Grades  and  the  three  Tenth  Grades.  Phy- 
sics in  the  three  Elevenths,  Chemistry  in 


the  three  Twelfths,  and  Physics,  Chemis- 
try, and  Biology  in  the  two  Thirteenths. 
In  the  last  few  years,  too,  the  courses  in 
Physics,  Chemistry,  Biology,  Medicine, 
Engineering  and  Dentistry  in  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto  have  enrolled  an  increas- 
ing number  of  St.  Michael's  students.  It 
is  to  be  hoped  that  the  progress  of  science 
in  the  school  will  not  only  prepare  its 
graduates  to  take  their  places  in  the 
scientific  professions,  but  what  is  more 
important,  aid  directly  in  forming  that 
product  of  a  Catholic  education.  Christian 
gentlemen,  by  giving  them  a  greater  in- 
sight into,  and  a  right  attitude  toward 
God's  material  universe.

Senior  Oratorical  Contest 


This  year's  contest  was  as  closely  con- 
tested as  only  an  affair  of  this  kind  can 
be.     However,  after  a  lenj^thy  deliberation 


JOHN    DBURY, 
Senior   Oratorical   Winner. 

the  judges  announced  Jack  Drury,  11-3, 
as  the  winner,  with  Michael  Kirby,  12-3, 
second  and  Gerry  Dewan,  11-1,  third. 

The  winning  speech  was  a  dramatic 
account  of  the  heroic  last  j'ears  of  the 
famoas  Lou  Gehrij;,  and  Jack'.s  marpfin  of 
victory  was     his     evident     sincerity     and 


faultless  delivery.  He  had  a  stirrinji  .story 
to  tell,  and  from  beginninf;  to  end  he  held 
his  audience — the  supreme  test  of  oratory. 

Michael  and  Gerry  selected  ambitious 
topics,  but  justified  their  choices  by  the 
superb  manner  in  which  they  handled 
tliem.  The  former  jileaded  eloquently  for 
a  true  Christian  attitude  towards  Bemitic 
peoples,  while  the  latter  in  a  finished  piece 
of  oratory  spoke  on  the  need  for  a  rich 
treasury  of  Christian  thoughts  and  the 
manner  of  acquiring  this  wealth. 

Preliminary  contests  were  held  _  in 
each  cla.ss  to  select  the  speakers  for  the 
finals.  Other  cla.ss  winners  were  Bill 
Dimma.  Gerry  Pocock,  Ed.  Doran,  Bill 
Conway,  and  Don  Young.  The  highest 
compliment  is  paid  to  them  when  we  say 
that  it  required  an  unusually  high  stand- 
ard of  speaking  ability  to  shade  any  one 
of  these  boys. 

Rex  Winhall  presided  very  capably  as 
the    Chairman.      Father    Denomy,    Fathej; 
O  'Donnell,  Fr.  Dwyer  from  the  staff  of  the 
Pontifical      Institute     of 
Mediaeval    Studies    were 
the  judges,  and  we  wish 
to  express  here  our  grati- 
tude   to    them    for    their 
interest. 


Junior  Oratorical  Contest 


One  or  another  phase  of  the  present 
war  was  the  principal  topic  chosen  by  the 
junior  orators,  but  a  well-developed,  enter- 
taining, and  informative  presentation  of 
the  new  and  important  Plastic  industry  by 
Frank  Byrnes  of  9-3  won  this  contest.  The 
ease  and  polish  of  Frank '.s  delivery  Avas 
adjudged  the  deciding  factor  in  making 
the  award. 

John  Cornett,  Fred  Fullerton  and 
Tony  Nadel  ])rovided  the  closest  competi- 
tion for  the  winner.  John  made  a  rousing 
appeal  for  loyalty  in  supporting  our  coun- 
try at  war,  Fred  appealed  in  an  entertain- 
ing and  very  original  manner  for  apprecia- 


tion of  our  opportunity 
to  receive  an  education, 
and  Tony  entertained 
and  stirred  us  with 
stories  of  the  late  Knute 
llockne. 

The  speakers 
.selected  after  a 
wide  elimination 
thi'oughout  the 
and  tenth  grades,  so  that 
each  .speaker  had  already 
proved  himself  an  orator

of  Saint  Mich- ■

out  on  the  stage 
of  Saint  Jos-

Remember  when

Dan  gave  a  top-

ly important  was  the  work  of  Wally 
Piatt.  Feminine  parts  have  always  prov- 
ed to  be  a  thorn  in  the  sides  of  amateur 
male  casts.  Wally  eliminated  this  trou- 
ble. He  wrote  plays,  painted  pictures 
and  was  generally  confused  in  fine  taste. 
His  work  was  not  overdone,  but  remain- 
ed expertly  hilarious  and  a  tribute  to  his 
own  versatility.  Also  in  the  limelight 
was  Harold  McDonald,  who  not  only 
was  cast  as  a  woman  but  had  to  struggle 
with  the  troubles  of  a  romantic  lead.

to  the  production. 

The  backbone  of  the  ca.st  proved  to 
be  the  members  of  the  amazing  Sycamore 
household,  who  busily  dashed  across  the 
stage  engrossed  in  the  ballet,  fireworks 
and  printing  presses.  Thomas  Ilalpin 
as  Mr.  De  Pinna  (who  came  to  deliver 
ice  and  stayed  eight  years)  and  the  de- 
voted hvisband,  Paul  Sycamore  (Alias 
Larry  Faye),  acquitted  themselves  well 
in  the  midst  of  the  fireworks.  That  was 
Doug  Bean  who  as  Essie  danced  "la  bal- 
let" so  often  and  cooked  coconut  Love 
Dreams  for  her  hus- 
band, Ed.  Carmich- 
ael  (you  know  him 
as  Paul  Flaherty). 
It  was  Paul  who

iiie  Alice,  and  not  a  small  percentage  of 
the  audience.  Mrs.  Kirby  was  austerely 
well  played  by  Bob  Pelletier.  Anthony 
Aniodeo  was  the  cigar  smoker  in  the 
evening  dress  who  ended  up  on  the  floor 
but  redeemed  himself  in  the  final  scene 
with  a  difficult  piece  of  act- 
ing in  discussion  with 
Grandpa. 

Confusion  is  added  to 
Sycamore  family  life  by  its 
visitors,  sane  and  other- 
wise. An  income  tax  col- 
lector by  the  name  of  Hen- 
derson was  foolish  enough 
to  drop  by  and  explosively 
went  mad  in  the  person  of 
Melvin  Hartman.  For  stage

son was  dead  drunk  on  the 
couch,  only  to  wake  up  as 
Gaylord  Wellington  and 
show  off  his  talents  at  the 
most  embarrassing  times.  Bill  Roche, 
George  Jacob  and  Bill  Saya,  three  staunch 
G-men,  could  stop  ordinary  crime  waves, 
but  were  stumped  by  the  Sycamores. 
Gerry  Poeock  smoked,  wrestled,  bellowed 
and  bowed  in  the  approved  Kolenkov 
manner,  to  the  delight  of  the  audience. 
But  it  was  left  to  Sam  O'llara  (the  grand 
Duchess  Olga  Katrina)  to  weep  for  the 
Czar,  cook  the  blintzes  and  in  general 
patch  the  difficulties  of  a  mad  family  by 
means  of  their  stomachs  at  the  dinner 
table  as  the  curtain  fell.

the  men  behind  the  scenes  forgotten  by 
the  audience.  The  acting  cast  are  known 
and  remembered.  But  nevertheless  cre- 
dit must  be  given  to  such  people  as  the 
understudies  —  Paul  Lynes,  Alex  La 
Roque,  Thomas  Sanci,  William  Cook,  and 
Gerald  O'Connor.  The  ac- 
tors on  stage  would  have 
been  quite  helpless  with- 
out the  conscientious  work 
of  the  production  staff, — 
Thomas  Bewley,  Stage 
Manager ;  Douglas  Atkin- 
son, Properties  and  Sovind; 
John  McCann,  Call  Boy, 
and  all-important  assist- 
ants —  Bob  Cummins,  the 
Human  Fly,  John  Pougnet. 
Kenneth  Gariepy,  and  John 
Brown.

Sgt.   Smith,   Sgt.   Barnes,   Lt.   Ford. 

The  war  that  is  rocking  the  world 
ha.s  worked  its  way  within  the  walls  of 
St.  Michael's  and  the  once  peaceful 
building  is  now  a  centre  «f  military 
activity.  For  the  past  two  years 
part  of  the  high  school  building  has 
been  the  official  headquarters  of  the 
80th  Veterans  Reserve  Company, — 
a  unit  composed  of  grand  fighting 
men  from  World  War  1,  under  the 
leadership  of  Major  E.  M.  Watts. 
From  this  group  comes  the  present 
instructors  of  our  cadets. 

The  instructor  for  the  school 
year  has  been  Mr.  Robert  Ford,  a 
former  lieutenant  in  the  80th,  and 
a  man  who  fought  in  France  in 
1914.  Mr.  Ford's  contribution  to 
the  war  effort  of  Canada  has  been 


the  genei'ous  gift  of  his  time,  his  en- 
ergy, and  the  sacrifice  of  many  hours 
that  oould  have  been  spent  more  pleas- 
antly. When  the  medals  have  all  been 
awarded  to  the  heroes  of  this  war  and 
the  shouting  has  died  away,  the  boys 
of  St.  Michael's  will  not  forget  their 
friend  and  true  Canadian — Robert 
Ford. 

Sergeants  Barnes  and  Smith,  Mr. 
Ford's  assistants  and  members  of  the 
80th,  have  also  become  popular  with 
the  boys  they  instructed  so  carefully. 
They  were  responsible  for  the  fine 
.showing  of  the  platoons  at  the  Ar- 
mouries in  the  competition  for  the  Pla- 
toon Cups  and  were  personally  con- 
gratulated by  the  judges. 

St.  Michael's  ('adets  Corps  were 
granted  official  recognition  late  last 
year  and  at  the  ibeginning  of  the  school 
year  became  one  of  the  affiliates  of  the 
2nd  Battalion  Toronto  Irish  Regiment. 
In  September  the  corps  began  prepara- 
tion for  its  first   inspection. 

After  four  months  of  drilling  twice 
weekly,  a  platoon  competition  was  be- 
gun and  two  cups  were  donated  by  of- 
ficers of  the  Irish.  In  the  final  compe- 
tition at  University  Armouries,  ]\[ajor 
Gee  and  Major  Hall  of  the  Irish  picked 
Ten-Two  and  Twelve-Three  as  the  most 
efficient     squads.       Their     officers,     Lt.

Campbell  MacLellan  and  Lt.  Paul  Lynes, 
gave  splendid  exhibitions,  capably  aided 
by  their  N.C.O.'s,  Sergeants  Iliggins  and 
Murpliy,  and  Corporals  Stolte  and  Lang. 
The  cups  so  generously  donated  by  Lt. 
Colonel  Pearee,  O.C.,  and  Major  Gee,  ad- 
jutant of  the  Toronto  Irish,  will  be  award- 
ed at  the  banquet  in  ]Ma.v. 

Classes  in  signalling  and  first  aid  were 
given  this  year.  Rooms  Eleven-Three 
took  over  the  former  and  Twelve- 
Three  the  latter.  The  first  aid  in- 
structor was  Bill  Fenn,  former  se- 
cond in  command,  who  holds  a  St. 
John's  Ambulance  certificate.  He 
has  spent  a  lot  of  time  working 
hard  and  generously  and  St.  Mich- 
ael's cadet  corps  owe  him  a  tremen- 
dous amount  of  gratitude.  Lt.  Paul 
Lynes,  Joe  Curcio  and  Bruce  Lang 
are  among  the  most  proficient  in 
first  aid  work. 

For  the  first  time  in  school  his- 
tory a  rifle  team  was  formed.  Af- 
ter very  few  practices  the  team 
competed  against  De  La  Salle  and 
Northern  Vocational,  and  while  the 
greater  experience  of  the  opponents 


was  too  much  for  us,  some  of  the  tar- 
gets handed  in  suggest  that  the  Double 
Blue  will  be  hard  to  beat  in  the  near 
future.  The  outstanding  marksmen  are 
pictured  above.  The  rest  of  the  squad 
turned  in  some  very  fine  scores  but  lacked 
the  consistency  that  only  hours  of  shoot- 
ing will  give.  Curtis  Spearin  of  Eleven- 
Three  scored  15  bullseyes  out  of  15  in 
one   of   the   final    workouts.     His   steady

high  scoring  all  through  earned  him 
the  Strathcona  Trust  Medal  Award 
as  the  outstanding  marksman  in  the 
corps. 

On  April  25th,  in  an  impressive 
ceremony  at  St.  Basil's  church,  the 
new  St.  Michael's  College  cadet  flag, 
designed  by  Jean  Marois,  was  re- 
ceived by  the  0.  C.  of  the  battalion, 
George  Callahan,  from  the  donor, 
Mrs.  Hatch.  It  was  then  blessed 
within  the  sanctuary  by  the  cadet 
chaplain,  Father  Crowley.  The  Mass 
was  said  by  Father  Mclntyre  and 
was  offered  for  the  repose  of  the 
souls  of  St.  Michael's  boys  who 
have  died  in  this  war.  After  the 
Mass,  Captain  the  Reverend  Robert 
Lowery,  C.S.B.,  gave  a  brief  talk  on  the 
symbolism  of  the  flag.     Mr.s,  Hatch  took

the  salute  as  the  cadets  marched  to  Trin- 
ity campus. 

On  April  27  the  first  annual  inspection 
took  place  on  Trinity  campus.  Lt.  Col. 
Pearce,  O.C,  of  the  2nd  Battalion  of  the 
Toronto  Irish  Regiment,  took  the  salute. 
Captain  Read,  D.C.O.,  was  the  inspecting 
officer  from  M.D.  No.  2.  Major  Gee,  Adj. 
of  the  Irish,  assisted  at  the  inspection. 
Major  Watts,  O.C,  of  the  81st  Veteran 
Reserve,  Brother  Paul  and  Dick  Tait, 
O.C,  of  the  De  la  Salle  Cadets, 
among  the  guests  present. 

A  first  aid  demonstration  was  given 
by  members  of  Lt.  Lynes'  platoon,  under 
the  watchful  eye  of  William  Penn.  A 
signalling  exhibition  was  put  on  by  mem- 
bers of  Eleven-Three  under  the  leadership 
of  Lt.  Frezell  and  Cpl.  Cash. 

The  marching  exhibition  was  given  by 
Lt.  MacLellan's  crack  platoon  from  Ten- 
Two,  augmented  by  a  few  of  the  better 
marchers  from  Ten-One  and  Ten-Three. 

At  the  end  of  the  ceremony  tlie  corps 
was  complimented  by  Lt.  Col.  Pearee  and 
Capt.  Read  for  steadiness  and  smart  ap- 
pearance. The  cadets,  with  the  accom- 
paniment of  the  High  School  band,  then 
marched  down  St.  George  St.,  along  Col- 
lege, up  Bay,  and  into  the  college  grounds, 
where  they  were  dismissed  after  a  very 
successful  day.

Athletics  at  St.  Michael's 


Athletics  are  a  cherished  tradition  at 
St.  Mieliael's,  an  important  part  of  school 
activity  down  through  the  years.  The 
pictin-es  and  stories  which  follow  unfold 
the  story  of  athletics  of  1941-1942.  Our 
teams  performed  creditably  in  every  sport 
in  which  they  were  entered. 
In  football,  the  Seniors, 
thoujjh  without  several  of 
last  year's  players  who  had 
joined  the  armed  servicer, 
played  ajrainst  the  finest 
teams  in  the  city,  and  they 
were  as  good  as  the  best. 
The  Juniors,  young,  light 
and  inexperienced,  started 
the  season  slowly  but  wound 
up  with  several  promising 
victories.  Our  inter-mural 
leagues  carried  on  with  cus- 
tomary enthusiasm. 

The  highlights  of  the  hoc- 
key sea-son  at  St.  Michael's  father 
were  the  return  to  Junior  A 
competition,    the    Majors    vs.    Old    Boy 
game,    and    the    Midget,    ]\Iinor    Bantam, 
and   King   Clancy   Midget   championship, 
which  were  captured  by  College  teams. 
The  double   win  in  the   Toronto  Hockey 
League  was  notable  for  the  fact  that  it 
was   St.   ]\Iichaers   first   double   title   and 
the  fifth  and  sixth  titles  in  twenty  years 
of  competition.     Both  teams  played  bril- 
liant hockey  to  win ;  the  Clancy  Midgets 
were  outstanding. 

Athletics  at  St.  ilichael's  as  ever 
brought  not  only  health  to  the  body  but 
also  joy  to  the  soul  of  those  who  played, 
and  to  those  who  watched.  The  entire 
student  body,  their  parents  and  the  stafl' 
gave  whole-hearted  support  to  all  the 
teams.  Many  remarkable  and  brilliant 
plays  will  go  down  in  the  memory  of 
player  and  spectator  alike.  We  would 
like  to  recall  a  few  of  the  more  outstand- 
ing in  these  columns. 

Sports  Highlights.

Senior  High  School  Football  Team 


The  High  School  football  team  started 
the  season  with  a  large  squad  of  35  boys. 
Although  uot  all  of  the  players  starred 
or  even  got  into  every  game,  yet  by  the 
end  of  a  successful  season,  every  last  one 
of  them  proved  that  they  were  smart  and 
hard  playing  football  players.  The  team 
won  four  and  lost  four  against  the  very 
best  opposition  in  the  city. 

St.  Michael's  opened  the  season  against 
Malvern.  Although  slow  to  start,  the 
Seniors  finished  the  game  by  crowding 
their  opponents,  but  the  final  score  was 
Malvern  8,  S.M.C.  1.  The  kicking  of 
Windy  O'Neill  and  the  running  of  Posivy 
promised  much  for  future  games. 

The  powerful  Runnymede  team  were 
our  next  opponents.  Under  the  brilliant 
floodlights  of  Ulster  Stadium  St.  Mike's 
showed  their  famous  fight.  The  tricky 
running  of  George  Dodd  stood  out  in  this 
hard  fought  game,  and  George  ("allahan 
scored  our  first  touchdown,  when  he  re- 
covered their  fumble.  The  tackling  of 
Bob  Cummins  and  McReavy,  along  with 
Kearney's  plunging,  were  the  mainstay 
of  the  team's  efi'orts.  A  broken  wrist 
forced  Bill  Conway  out  of  the  lineup  for 


the  reiiuiiiuler  of  the  season.  In  the  last 
quarter  they  were  desperately  fighting  to 
overcome  a  slight  lead,  but  the  game 
ended  too  soon,  Runnymede  having  edged 
us  7  to  5. 

Upper  Canada  College,  our  ancient 
I'ival,  was  our  third  opponent.  In  the 
afternoon  of  a  fine  autumn  day  the  teams 
faced  each  other.  U.C.C.  was  to  receive 
our  kick.  They  did  and  spectacularly 
ran  it  back  for  a  touchdown.  This  act 
set  our  team  on  fire  and  they  took  on 
championship  form  to  avenge  themselves. 
With  Bob  Silcox  and  Kearney  in  the 
baekfield  and  Bill  Saya  at  quarter,  St. 
Michael's  fought  back  with  touchdowns 
by  Callahan  and  Saya,  to  win  the  game 
13  to  5.  This  splendid  effort  was  m'ade 
y)ossible  by  the  stalwart  playing  of  the 
linesmen,  especially  Roche,  Hatch,  Ford, 
Regan  and  Williams,  who  was  hurt  to- 
wards the  end  of  the  game  and  was 
unable  to  finish  the  season.  In  the 
opinion  of  the  spectators  this  was  the 
most  enjoyable  game  of  the  season. 

On  Thanksgiving  day  S.M.C.  were  again 
confronted  by  Malvern.  In  this  roughly 
contested  game  Malvern  scored  first  in  the 


Ninety-Four 


se(*oiKl  quarter  to  take  a  5-0  lead.  Good 
kifking.  despite  a  territic  Irish  oflPeiisive, 
extended  that  lead  to  7-0,  but  the  Irish 
kept  tightin;;^  back.  A  Kearney  to  Cleary 
pass  clinched  our  drive  in  which  Morri- 
son, Posiv.v,  Dessert  and  Orsini  were  out- 
standing. Once  again  the  game  ended 
stifling  another  St.  Mike's  drive,  Mal- 
vern winning  b,v  the  close  score  of  7-."). 

Ulster  Stadium  was  the  scene  of  an- 
other Irish  contest.  Inspired  b.v  a  pep 
meeting,  the  school  turned  out,  bent  on 
cheering  the  team  to  a  driving  start 
against  Danforth  Tech  Grads.  Bob  Cum- 
mins recovered  a  kick  on  the  enemy  30- 
yard  line  whicli  Posivy  took  over  for  a 
converted  major  score.  Danforth  tied  it 
up  but  in  the  second  quarter  St.  ]\Iike's 
surged  into  the  lead  again  on  the  bril- 
liant playing  of  Ilickey,  Dodd  and  Posivy, 
who  combined  for  long  gains  on  the  end 
runs.  This  combination  was  aided  by  the 
defensive  work  of  Sullivan  and  Jacobs. 
Danforth  tied  us  again  but  George  Dodd 
broke  the  deadlock  in  the  dying  minutes 
of  the  game  when  he  recovered  a  Tech 
fumble  behind  their  line,  to  win  16-11. 

The  team  carried  their  splendid  play- 
ing over  into  the  Harbord  game,  winning 
it  with  a  thrilling  story  book  finish. 
Gerry  Hiekey  collected  the  first  points 
for  the  St.  Mike's  team  with  a  single  in 
the  first  quarter  and  a  touch  before  half 
time.  In  the  second  half  Harbord  rallied 
with  a  placement  and  a  touchdown  to 
take  over  the  lead  9-6.  Sparked  by  Hub 
Teolis  at  quarter  and  steadied  by  the 
grand  line  work  of 
Midghall,  McReavy 
and  Morrison,  St. 
Michael's  fought 
their  way  down  the 
field  to'  the  Har- 
bord one-yard  line 
in  a  drive  which 
featured  the  bril- 
liant 'ball  carrying 
of  George  Dodd. 
With  a  minute,  and 
a  yard  to  go, 
George  Callahan 
blasted  his  way 
through     the    Har- 


bord line  to  win  the  game  for  us  11.-9. 

On  a  wet  back  campus  near  Ilart 
House,  St.  Michael's  extended  their  string 
of  successes  by  a  close  win  over  St.  Mich- 
ael's University  Freshmen.  In  a  game 
which  displa.ved  the  rugged  linework  of 
Higgins,  Shand,  Dessei't  and  Bern  Roach, 
along  with  the  stead.v  Panzer  plunging 
of  Callahan  and  McReavy,  the  featui-e  at- 
traction was  the  end  running  of  Dodd  and 
Posivy.  Carried  downfield  b.v  the  same 
end  running,  St.  Mike's  clicked  first  on 
an  O'Neill  to  Cunerty  pass  which  he  car- 
ried over  for  an  unconverted  major  score. 
St.  Mike's  held  and  in  the  3rd  quarter 
Posiv.v  scored  twice  on  well-placed  kicks, 
to  win  7  to  0. 

Vaughan  Road  Collegiate  Institute 
were  our  final  opponents  in  a  Saturday 
afternoon  game  at  Varsity  Stadium.  In 
the  second  quarter  of  this  closely  fought 
game  Vaughan  plunged  for  a  converted 
touchdown.  St.  Michael's  rallied;  an  in- 
tercepted pass  and  3  successive  plunges 
drew  us  in  close  and  then  Hub  Teolis 
sneaked  over  for  a  touchdown  that  went 
unconverted.  A  placement  by  Vaughan's 
ace  kicker  extencled  their  lead  9-5  as  the 
first  half  closed.  The  second  half  shone 
on  'an  even  more  powerful  St.  Michael's 
drive,  although  the  third  quarter  was 
scoreless.  A  forward  passing  attack  with 
Teolis  and  O'Neill  doing  the  heaving,  gave 
us  the  lead  when  Clear.y  scored  on  a  20- 
yard  pass  and  Regan  converted.  Vaughan

Junior  High  School  Football  Team 


What!  A  pigskin  bounding  on  Bay 
St. !  We  tossed  it  to  the  shouting  figure 
whose  shaggy  head,  smiling  face,  and 
padded  shoulders  appeared  climbing  over 
the  grey  brick  wall  of  St.  Michael's.  At- 
tracted by  the  hearty  shouts  and  lusty 
thumping,  we  entered  the  yard  and  took 
our  stand  beneath  the  stately  elm  to 
watch  the  youngsters  in  a  large  circle 
about  their  captain,  Pete  O'Hanlon,  who 
was  leading  them  in  strenuous  gyrations, 
vigorous  rolling  and  rigorous  running. 

These  were  the  boys  who  had  respond- 
ed to  the  call  for  a  Junior  Football  team 
to  carry  the  double  blue  into  battle.  Pr. 
Record,  their  coach,  stood  to  one  side, 
scanning  his  prospects  to  determine  a 
style  of  play  which  would  render  the  ef- 
forts of  these  light,  inexperienced  lads 
effective  against  opponents,  scheduled 
from  some  of  the  better  teams  of  the 
Junior  High  School  League. 

The  first  game,  with  St.  Mary's,  ended 
in  a  close  but  glorious  victory  for  the 
Irish,  McBride,  Macdougall  and  Morri- 
son paced  the  victors.  Runnymede  and 
Jarvis,  however,  each  proved  too  strong 


for  these  plucky  Bay  St.  youngsters,  and 
after  an  even  first  period,  went  on  to  win 
over  their  worn-down  rivals.  The  next 
encounter,  against  Malvern,  was  a  loss; 
but,  nevertheless,  one  of  the  highlights 
of  a  good  season.  Outweighed  to  the  man, 
the  brilliant  quarter-backing  of  Solarski 
and  Howley,  the  superb  passing  of  Rey- 
nolds, the  receiving  of  Higgins,  McBride, 
and  O'Hanlon,  the  vicious  tackling  of  K. 
Wilson,  Bennett  and  Kozel  proved  too 
much  for  their  opponents,  and  evoked 
words  of  praise  from  the  rival  coach  long 
before  the  game  was  over.  However, 
with  but  four  minutes  to  play  the  hard 
driving  Malvern  team  smashed  through 
for  a  touchdown  to  win  7  to  5. 

In  the  two  games  that  followed  with 
Riverdale  and  IJ.C.C.  the  fine  kicking  of 
Bennett,  running  of  Irwin,  Solarski  and 
O'Hanlon,  and  strong  defensive  play  of 
Kirby,  McConvey,  Kozel,  Tierney  and 
Beatty  were  outstanding  features. 

History  was  made  in  the  form  of  a  trip 
to  Pickering  College  at  Newmarket.  In 
spite  of  an  85  yard  dash  by  Imonti,  the

Senior  House  League  Football 


Varsity,  Western,  McGill,  Queen's; 
names  that  will  be  long  remembered  in 
connection  with  football  thrills,  courage 
and  strategy.  For  these  four  teams  com- 
peted in  the  1941  scramble  for  the  Senior 
Football  House  League  championship. 
When  the  season  finished,  it  was  Father 
Deimer's  high-powered  Varsity  team  that 
captured  the  honours,  but  their  margin 
of  victory  was  a  tribute  to  the  other 
squads.  Only  after  subduing  the  driving 
Western  boys,  who  had  come  from  be- 
hind to  edge  McGill  in  the  semi-finals, 
was  Varsity  sure  of  victory. 

The  spearhead  of  their  championship 
offensive  was  Jolting  Jim  Zavitsky,  who 
raced  for  a  touchdown  via  the  center  of 
the  enemy  line  time  and  time  again.  If 
he   wasn't   doing   it,   hard-hitting  Frank 


Aprile  or  Mauling  Mike  Ritchie  was. 
Masterminding  these  thunderbolts  were 
Varsity's  quarterbacks,  Tom  Gately,  who 
did  the  passing  and  punting,  and  Roy  Mit- 
chell, the  fellow  who  always  pulled  the 
trick  plays.  But  Varsity  couldn't  have 
been  the  great  team  they  were  without  a 
high-class  line,  and  they  had  it.  Virtual 
Gibraltars  at  centre  were  Rudy  Nagle  and 
Jim  Cudmore,  while  Curtis  Spearin,  Bruce 
Brown,  "Red"  Harris,  and  John  Drury, 
the  ends,  were  like  Panzer  divisions  in 
getting  behind  the  enemy  line,  and  when 
they  got  there  they  were  either  gathering 
in  passes  or  dragging  down  ball-carriers. 
Indeed  Father  Diemer  can  be  proud  of 
the  players  he  developed  and  the  team  he 
guided. 

Closest  pursuers  in  the  race  for  the 


Ninety-Eight 


title  were  Father  Brezik's  boys,  doing  or 
dying  for  Western.  This  was  the  team 
which  came  from  behind  in  the  semi- 
finals to  beat  McGill  bnt  couldn't  manage 
to  down  Varsity.  Their  shining  light  wns 
Ken  Lynett,  who  probably  averaged 
more  gain  per  plnnge  than  anyone  else  in 
the  league;  but  he  didn't  totally  eclipse 
performers  like  Fred  "Five  yards  every 
time"  Stolte,  and  speedy  Ray  Webster, 
other  backfield  aces.  Pat  Gravelle  was 
quarterback  for  these  boys  until  he  shift- 
ed to  half-back  to  find  he  could  star  there, 
too.  Western's  line  was  fully  worthy  of 
such  material.  Ends  Hilly  Carter  and 
Sam  O'llara  were  peerless  on  the  de- 
fense, and  Frank  Leonard  and  Mike 
Brown  turned  many  a  forward  pass  into 
a  long  run.  Ron  Warner  played  a  bril- 
liant tackling  game  at  snap,  especially 
in  the  play-offs,  and  no  one  got  around 
Alex.  MacLean  on  the  line  without  diffi- 
culty. Western  will  be  a  source  of  many 
future  Double  Blue  stalwarts  in  a  few 
short  years. 

Unpredictable  was  the  word  for  Mc- 
Gill. No  one  even  knew  when  tricky 
Johnny  Durand  or  speedy  Paul  Pelow  or 
even  Dynamic  Don  Couture  would  break 
loose.  No  one  knew  that  McGill  was  go- 
ing to  beat  the  league-leaders,  Varsity, 
that  night.  No  one  knew  when  Bill 
Whyte  would  turn  one  of  Jim  Kelly's 
passes  into  a  score.  No  one  knew  that 
McGill  was  going  to  win  the  first  play- 
off game.  No  one  knew  when  Jack  Kelly 
or  Redmond  Sheedy  would  break  through 
and  smear  a  play.  No  one  knew  when 
Larry  Quesnelle  was  going  to  stop  a 
plunge  five  yards  behind  the  line.  No 
one  knew,  but  it  happened.  Father  Ruth's 
boys  really  packed  potent  prowess  and 
were  always  breaking  out  in  a  scoring 
way,  and  with  reinforcements  like  Tubby 
Teolis,  Basil  Qrsini,  Jack  Ellard,  and  Jack 
Mahon,  it  happened  often.  If  McGill 
again  gets  some  of  these  rookies  it  devel- 
oped, next  year  it  will  be  a  power,  in- 
deed. 

Statistics  go  hard  on  Queen's  because 
they  don't  mention  the  amount  of  courage 
a  team  has ;  they  don't  allow  for  the  youth 
of  its  players;  they  don't  allow  for  its 


phenomenal  bad  luck.  Father  Faught  and 
his  boys  could  stop  any  six  players,  but 
they  couldn't  make  the  breaks  turn  their 
way,  yet  they  never  stopped  trying.  Their 
nearest  approach  to  individual  stardom 
was  Mike  Mallon,  who  played  a  whole 
season  of  "heads-up"  football  in  the  back- 
field  with  promising  Tom  O'Toole  and 
fleet-footed  Al.  Smith.  At  quarterback 
was  Ed.  Lundy,  who  played  a  pretty 
steady  game  for  a  rookie ;  in  fact,  the 
whole  team  deserves  this  tribute  because 
they  were  all  new  to  the  game.  The  ends, 
Henry  Wilkinson,  Frank  Benn,  Bill  Moss 
and  Jim  Douglas,  left  little  doubt  as  to 
their  capabilities  whenever  a  forward 
pass  came  near.  John  Cornett  at  snap, 
did  a  swell  defensive  ,iob  every  game,  as 
did  Bill  Enright,  who  hasn't  admitted  de- 
feat yet.  So  it  looks  as  though  Queen's 
are  in  for  a  banner  year  in  1942,  and  they 
deserve  it. 

You  must  admit  that  with  four  teams 
like  that  swarming  over  a  gridiron  two 
at  a  time,  the  Senior  House  League  games 
must  have  been  thrillers,  and  they  were. 
The  spirit  and  fight  displayed  was  a  tri- 
bute to  any  St.  Michael's  team,  while  the 
combination  of  experienced  coaches  and 
inexperienced  quarterbacks  produced 
many  a  dazzling  play. 

The  Senior  House  League  is  the  cradle 
of  so  many  Irish  football  stars  that  one 
can  almost  say,  "St.  Mike's  gridiron  wars 
are  won  on  the  playing  fields  of  the  Senior 
House  League."

Junior  House  League  Football 


"A  banner  year  in  every  regard." 
That  is  the  consensus  of  opinion  about 
this  year's  Junior  House  League  football 
season.  Who  would  not  have  the  same 
idea  if  he  had  seen  a  bang-up  season, 
full  of  thrills,  heads-up  ball  playing, 
clever  quarter-backing? '  Yes,  it  was  just 
that!  it  was  a  treat  to  see  the  brand  of 
football  displayed  by  our  younger  ath- 
letes. 

Five  teams  made  up  the  league ;  names 


were  alloted  to  each  team,  corresponding 
to  the  names  of  powerful  aggregations 
playing  in  the  big  circuits  of  the  country. 
Coaches  were  assigned  to  each  team;  Pr. 
Crowley  was  alloted  the  "Argos" ;  Mr. 
Flood  found  his  team  was  tagged  "Mon- 
treal"; Mr.  Whelan  met  a  team  called 
"Ottawa";  "Hamilton"  was  the  monicker 
of  Mr.  Silvester's  crew;  a  squad  answering 
to  the  name  of  "Balmy  Beach"  greeted 
Mr.  Eckert.     The  call  went  out  that  each 


One  Hundred 


I^t^g»^i» 


team  was  to  have  a  week  of  practice  be- 
fore the  initial  game.  Practice  they  did 
— with  the  result  that  the  first  game  was 
well  contested  by  both  outfits.  And  so 
the  season  went — never  a  dull  moment. 
On  any  given  day  you  could  have  seen  a 
ela.ss  A-1  game. 

The  top  team  of  the  year  was  Argos — 
the  pint-sized  crew  with  the  sparkling 
feet  and  the  giant  hearts.  Keymen  of 
the  team  were  the  halves,  Winslow  and 
Harrison, — hard  running,  shifty  ball-car- 
riers; and  quarter-back  Nadal,  ace  passer 
and  deadly  tackier.  Johnny  Piatt  at  end 
promises  to  be  a  great  Double  Blue  pass 
receiver  some  day.  Joe  Williams  alter- 
nated at  quarter-back  and  developed  into 
a  sharp-shooting  passer,  his  two  touch- 
down passes  in  the  final  game  climaxing 
a  season  of  steady  improvement.  Howard 
and  Masters  played  lieady  ball  at  end 
going  both  ways.  McDonald  and  Mc- 
Cann  were  strong  at  center,  possessing 
uncanny  ability  to  crash  into  opposing 
backfields.  The  Borron  brothers  played 
consistent  football  all  through  the  sea- 
son to  round  out  as  smart  a  junior  team 
as  any  produced  at  St.  Michael's  in  re- 
cent years. 

Montreal  finished  second  this  year. 
Mr.  Flood  found  that  his  ovitstanding  per- 
former was  Frankie  Chiarmonte,  who  ran 
wild  against  any  and  every  team.  On 
the  defense  he  had  good  men  like  Hector, 
O'Hearn,  Legge,  Doty  and  Broadhurst, 
Trudelle,  Ingoldsby,  Kirby,  Chapman, 
O'Leary  and  Alsop  were  stars  in  their  own 
right.  This  team  was  riddled  with  in- 
juries all  season,  but  yet  managed  to  give 
all  they  had  to  the  victory  drive.  They 
lost  only  one  game  all  season  until  the 
play-offs.    Better  luck  next  time,  boys. 

The  St.  Michael's  edition  of  the 
"Koughriders"  was  featured  by  stars  like 
Sullivan,  Moran  and  Power,  who  cavorted 
from  the  backfield  spots.  On  the  line,  we 
saw  Mahany,  Miller,  Ryan,  Barrack, 
Holmes  and  Sheehan  doing  their  stuff,  and 
doing  it  well.  This  squad  was  handicapped 
by  injuries  and  a  small  turnout  of  ma- 
terial. However,  they  showed  what  can 
be  done  when  you  get  good  fast  backs  sus- 
tained by  a  rugged,  sure-fire  line.    They 


finished  in  third  place,  but  that  is  no  fair 
indication  of  their  ability.  Next  year  we 
expect  to  see  this  team  among  the  lead- 
ers ;  their  stars  will  be  seen  in  action  in  a 
few  years — ^on  the  High  School  team. 

Hamilton  finished  fourth  in  the  regular 
season  but  were  in  the  finals  with  Argos. 
How  this  was  accomplished  makes  an  in- 
teresting story.  Suffice  to  say  that  they 
proved  that  courage  and  fight  are  the  es- 
sentials of  a  winning  team.  All  season 
they  were  dogged  by  hard  luck  in  every 
possible  way;  yet  there  they  were  in  the 
finals !  Their  story  is  one  of  first  class 
perseverance ;  overcoming  all  obstacles, 
they  made  the  play-offs  and  nearly  copped 
the  flag.  Mr.  Silvester  is  to  be  compli- 
mented on  their  showing.  In  the  back- 
field  we  saw  Seholes,  Bracken,  O'Hara  and 
Glynn,  who  was  the  best  tackier  in  the 
league ;  Halas  tossed  ipasses  like  Sammy 
Baugh.  Forster,  Cook,  Dineen,  Hawkins, 
Lawlor,  Logan,  McDonough  and  Canning 
were  outstanding  performers  on  the  for- 
ward wall,  all  being  timely  taeklers  and 
fine  blockers. 

Balmy  Beach  finished  fifth.  Somebody 
has  to  miss  the  play-offs  and  the  Balmies 
were  elected  by  the  fates  this  year.  Not 
that  the  team  did  not  have  its  stars — 
with  men  like  Brown,  Wilson,  Ro- 
bertson, Fitzgerald,  you  cannot  get 
a  starless  club.  O'Brien,  McGouran, 
Campbell,  Hall,  Akrey  and  Quinn  were 
all  good  types  of  football  stalwarts.  Mc- 
Gouran was  one  of  the  best  men  on  de- 
fense and  a  real  bear  on  the  offence.  Their 
main  trouble  was  one  of  lightness — ^they 
were,  on  the  average,  outweighed  to  a 
man ;  with  all  that,  though,  they  upset  the 
better,  heavier  teams  on  many  an  occa- 
sion. Mr.  Eckert  had  the  boys  in  there 
fighting  every  minute;  that  this  team 
placed  five  members  on  the  All-Star  team 
is  very  significant.  Try  it  next  year, 
Balmies — the  breaks  will  come  your  way 
soon ! 

Well,  there  they  are,  fans,  the  pick  of 
the  crop.  As  you  can  guess  that  final 
play-off  game  was  a  bang-up  contest. 
Hamilton  was  in  there  all  the  way — Argos 
just  had  the  stuff",  and  were  not  to  be

The  Majors 


The  light.s  in  the  spacious  Gardens 
flickered  out  one  by  one,  leaving^  only 
enou3:h  for  the  scraper  to  follow  the  slen- 
der trail  of  his  fellow.  All  the  fans  had 
left,  still  talking'  of  the  frame,  the  <rame 
in  which  the  Fi<;hting  Iri.sh  had  been 
eliminated  by  Younfj  Ran^'crs.  As  the  last 
sounds  echoed  and  re-echoed  within  the 
huge  vault,  I  sat  back  and  looked  around, 
around  at  the  empty  seats  and  the  huge 
glistening  .stretch  of  ice,  still  laced  with 
blademarks.  My  mind  wandered  back 
across  the  season,  and  I  saw  another  game 
before  me.  .  .  . 

The  play  was  furious,  and  the  tide 
wa.shed  from  one  end  of  the  Gardens  to 
the  other.  There  were  six  seconds  to  go 
Ihe  puck  was  alone  at  centre  ice.  A  Brant- 
ford  player  was  about  to  pick  it  up,  circle 
and  the  game  would  end.  But  out  of  no- 
where came  Farrell  Gallagher  roaring 
jiast  the  Lion  forward,  stole  the  puck, 
passed  to  O'Neil,  whose  rebound  was 
picked  up  by  Cec  Schmalz,  who  climaxed 
the  most  sensational  upset  of  the  O.II.A. 
season  with  a  last-second  tying  goal.  The 
fans  went  wild,  and  in  the  overtime  Gerry 


Iliekey  rammed  home  the  winning  goal  to 
upset  the  undefeated  invincible  Brantford 
Lions,  7  to  6.  By  this  seemingly  impossible 
win,  this  young  St.  Mike'.s  team  proved  its 
mettle,  and  carried  on  a  wonderful  heri- 
tage, a  heritage  of  never-say-die  spirit  and 
undaunted  courage. 

The  spear-head  of  the  St.  Mike's 
phalanx  that  night  wa.s  a  fiery  red-thatched 
right  winger.  He  never  quit,  never  lagged, 
charged  in  on  goal  time  after  time.  Slip- 
])ing  smoothly  up  to  the  blue  line,  he  would 
explode  past  the  defence,  and,  before 
anyone  could  reach  him,  the  redlight  would 
flare.  But  one  night  Farrell  Gallagher 
broke  his  leg :  there  were  only  2  minutes 
left  to  play ;  St.  Mike's  were  four 
goals  down;  'an  opposing  player  broke 
away,  "Gag"  driving  in  hot  pursuit; 
he  caught  his  man,  but  could  not  stop, 
smashing  into  the  end  boards.  He  was 
carried  off  the  ice — out  for  the  season. 
His  body  was  lost  to  the  team  but  his  fight- 
ing heart  remained.  His  team  mates  picked 
up  his  flaming  torch  of  courage  and  fanned 
that  unquenchable  spirit  that  Farrell  Gal- 
lagher had  enkindled  in  their  hearts. 


One  Hundred  Four 


The  season  rolled 
on  before  my  eyes. 
Guelph,  Maiiboros. 
Native  Sons,  Yonn^' 
Rangers  fell  to  tlic 
guns  of  Father  Mal- 
lon's  youthful  war- 
riors. Time  after 
time.  Prank  Bennett, 
brilliant  eentre  star, 
would  coast  up  to 
a  defence,  shift 
quickly     and     walk 

comfortably  thi-ough.  Bob  Stanton  was  a 
blue  blur  on  left  Aving.  When  Benny  cap- 
tured the  puck,  Bob  would  bolt  for  the 
enemy  blue  line,  .snare  the  pass  as  he 
flashed  over,  cut  sharply  in  and  neatly 
outwit  the  goal-tender.  Free-wheeling 
down  right  wing  in  his  low  crouch,  was 
colourful,  consistent  Tom  O'Neill,  as  popu- 
lar with  the  fans  as  his  potent  fists  were 
unpopular  with  the  opposition. 

I  hear  again,  coming  up  from  the  pools 
of  darkness  around  the  player's  bench, 
the  calm  voice  of  Father  Mallon,  "All 
right,  Gerry,  go  ahead."  Gerry  Hickey, 
pivot  man  of  the  dynamite  line,  swings 
over  the  board  to  lead  his  line  into  action. 
If  you  look  closely  you  can  see  them  now, 
racing  up  the  ice— boy!  how  they  can 
travel!  Speedy,  shifty,  "Hick"  was  not 
only  the  most  dangerous  puck-carrier  on 
the  team,  but  was  a  penalty  killer  and  de- 
fensive bulwark  due  to  his  sweeping  un- 
canningiy  effective  check.  Gerry  Gregoire,

on  right  wing,  was  poetry  on  skates;  fast 
as  a  Spitfire,  Greg  was  the  valuable  little 
man  who  scored  those  tying  and  winning 
goals  that  meant  so  much.  Combining 
with  the  two  Gerrys  was  scrappy  Cec 
Schmalz,  as  fast  and  dangerous  as  his 
flashy  mates.  For  utility  duty,  the  Ma- 
jors were  fortunate  in  having  Johnny 
Morrow,  a  hard-skating,  close  cheek- 
ing Northerner,  who  had  the  happy,  han- 
dy knack  of  slapping  in  frequent  goals 
in  goal-mouth  scrambles. 

It's  not  hard  to  imagine  that  those  end- 
less gloom-enshroudred  tiers  are  once 
again  packed  with  a  wild-eyed  student 
crowd.  What  a  roar  would  shake  the 
girders  when  Dodd  and  Foley  ci'unched  a 
venturesome  forward.  George  would 
anchor  himself  at  the  red  line,  while  "Big 
Streak"  played  angle  shots  with  the 
enemy  players  right  into  George's  waiting 
arms.  Oh,  to  see  big  Bernie  Lobraico 
bulling  his  way  up  the  ice,  leaving  broken 
enemy  bodies  strewn 
in  his  path;  or  to 
thrill  to  the  wide- 
legged  rushes  of 
George  Rebstock. 
George  and  Bernie, 
formed  a  menacing 
defence.  These  four 
stalwarts,  aided  at 
times  by  Tom  O'- 
Neill, formed  a  po- 
tent double-blue  line 
squad. 

Lost  in  thought,  I 
failed  to  notice  them,

The  Buzzers 


As  the  players  filed  slowly  through 
the  gate  and  along  the  boards  and  down 
thie  aisle  to  the  dressing  room,  with  cries 
of  "Nice  game,  St.  Mike's!"  "That's  layin' 
'em  Woody!"  "Great  going,  Greg!"  ring- 
ing in  their  ears,  they  knew  that  this 
wasn't  just  the  end  of  another  season: 
it  was  a  trial  borne  with  honour,  a  test 
passed  with  success — and  although  the 
Buzzers  of  1941-42  were  hanging  up  their 
armour  after  the  hard-fought  battle,  they 
would  presently  avenge  every  defeat  and 
better  every  victory  as  the  Majors  of  '43. 

It  was  a  pleasure  just  to  watch  smooth 
Greg  Carter  wind  up  with  that  certain 
ease  and  sureness,  streak  into  centre  with 
a  coolness  unbelievable,  slip  through  the 
defence,  and  tuck  in  the  puck  with  neat- 
mess   and   precision.     With   Greg   on   the 


first  line  were  Frank  Imonti,  a  fast,  fiery, 
and  furious  right  winger,  and  long-legged 
Bill  Conway,  who  never  failed  to  give  the 
fans  a  flare  of  fisticufSs. 

The  other  line  hinged  on  Wally  Fin- 
ley's  lightning  breaks  and  passes,  neat 
as  clockwork,  that  sent  St.  Mike's  time 
and  time  again  hurling  down  upon  an 
abandoned  goal-tender.  Hard  working 
Bus  Sadler,  fired  with  a  tireless  energy 
that  made  him  both  a  dangerous  rusher 
and  the  most  persistent  checker  on  the 
team,  and  roaring  "Rol"  Spadoni,  whose 
policy  was  to  mangle  everything  that  got 
in  his  way,  fitted  in  like  well-cut  gears 
with  Wally  at  centre. 

As  for  the  Buzzer  defence.  Father 
Mallon  could  not  have  had  the  slightest 
worry;  it  was  filled  with  Midghalls.  Ernie 


One  Hundred  Six 


and  Gerry  formed  a  wall  that  <'ould  stop 
evervtliinj:^,  nor  was  this  the  extent  of 
tlieir  ability.  Ernie  was  a  refjular  Mer- 
cury, although  you  couldn't  see  his  wing- 
ed beels  in  all  the  blur  of  flying  snow 
and  frightened  forwards;  and  Gerry,  by 
dint  of  a  little  knee  and  elbow  persuasion, 
could  bore  through  any  defence  in  tlie 
league. 

Ray  .Midgh.all  and  "Woody"  McReavy 
made  a  defence  that  packed 
a  health.v  wallop — one  that 
brought  a  tear  to  the  eye  of 
many    a    fond    mother,    and 
a    fortune   to   the   pocket   of 
many  a  Dr.  Sloan.    Ra.v  was 
a   brilliant   defenceman  who 
knew    how    to   use   his   head 
and  his  bod.v — an   asset   all 
the    more    valuable    for    its 
rarit.v.    "Woody,"  as  square 
as  a  corner-stone,  cut   them 
all     down    with    a    reckless 
abandon    that   was  a  .joy  to 
behold;  and  when  he  gets  started  lumber- 
ing up  the  ice,  there  was  as  much  chance 
of  stopping  a  freighter  with  a  buttercup 
as  there  was  of  ruffling  "Woody"  with 
a  couple  of  defence  men.    Bob  Silcox  was 
another  rough  and  read.v  defender,  who 
made   his   weight   felt   in   many   circles — 
mostly  black  and  blue. 

Behind  this  wall  of  burly  humanity 
stood  a  goal  that  was  well  nigh  impregn- 
able. Johnny  ilarois  opened  the  season 
in  brilliant  fashion,  but  was  shortly  ele- 
vated to  the  ^Majors,  where  he  con- 
tinued his  remarkable  puck-stopping.    Joe 


"Snard"  Irvine  then  stepped  into  the 
Buzzer  nets,  and  his  smooth  st.vle,  his 
stead.y  pla.ving,  the  number  of  almost  im- 
possible saves,  and  above  all,  the  confi- 
dence his  team  mates  placed  in  him — 
which  is  the  measure  of  an.v  goalie's  worth 
— clearly  proved  that  he  more  than  merit- 
ed the  position.  Through  many  and  man.y 
dark  houi's  was  the  dogged  spirit  of  Joe 
Irvine  the  mainstav  of  the  team.

Midgets 


There  were  two  great  comebacks  in 
hockey  this  year — one  was  the  remark- 
able Stanley  Cup  victory  of  the  Toronto 
Maple  Leafs;  the  other  was  the  snatching 
of  the  Toronto  Hockey  League  champion- 
ship by  St.  Michael's  College  Midgets. 

Fifteen  seconds  away  from  elimination 
in  the  quarter  finals,  those  fighting  kids 
battled  their  way  to  the  title.  In  a  game 
with  U.T.S.  in  which  defeat  meant  that 
the  Irish  would  be  eliminated,  St.  Mich- 
ael's trailed  4  to  3  with  two  minutes  to 
go.  Paul  Kane  was  put  on, 
U.T.S.  got  a  penalty,  and  the 
Double  Blue  put  on  the  pres- 
sure. As  the  minutes  dwindled 
into  seconds,  and  as  the  hand 
of  the  clock  swung  around  into 
its  last  circuit,  big  Pat  Powers, 
not  knowing  the  meaning  of 
the  word  quit,  checked  a  U.T.S. 
man  in  centre  ice,  passed  to 
Kane,  who  swung  around  the  :  " 
defence,  roared  in,  drew  out 
the  goalie,  and  flipped  the  puck      McLean. 


into  the  open  net  to  keep  the  Irish  in  the 
running. 

Flushed  by  this  success,  the  Midgets 
eliminated  U.T.S.  by  beating  them  3  to  2 
and  2  to  0  in  the  next  two  games. 

In  the  semi-finals  St.  Michael's  roared 
into  action  against  Jersey  Cubs,  who  had 
just  beaten  an  outstanding  Birehcliff 
team  in  a  6-game  series.  In  the  first 
game  after  a  'brilliant  display  of  hockey, 
Joe  Marzalik  cut  around  right  defence, 
and  picked  the  far  corner  to  give  the 
Irish  a  1  to  0  win.  In  the  se- 
cond game  Doug  McGillivray 
scored  for  St.  Mike's,  Jersey 
tied  it  up  and  a  thrilling  last 
ten  minutes  saw  both  teams  miss 
sure-fire  goals.  The  game  end- 
ed and  St.  Michael's  won  the 
round  2  to   1. 

With    the    T.II.L.    champion- 
ship at  stake  the  Midgets  next 
met     Holy     Name,     Provincial 
C.Y.O.    winners,    in    a    best    of 
Powers.       three    games    series    at    Roj'al's

to  srive  St. 


rink.  The  first  game 
went  to  St.  Mike's  2  to 
1  on  goals  by  Joe  Sad- 
ler; in  the  second  game 
Holy  Name  led  1  to  0 
with  8  minutes  to  go. 
Suddenly  rugged  Pat 
Powers  bolted  out  from 
his  blue  line,  shot  as  he 
charged  through  the  de- 
fence, and  banged  in  his 
own  rebound  past  Steve 
Coates,  sensational 
young  Holy  Name  net-minder 
Michael's  a  tie. 

The  third  game  loomed  up;  a  host  of 
supporters  thronged  Royal's  Rink;  ex- 
citement charged  the  air.  Play  opened 
up  at  a  fast  clip.  Both  goalies  kicked 
out  tough  ones.  Finally  .speedy  Jack  Mc- 
Pherson  beat  Coates  with  a  hard  shot 
from  a  scramble.  The  Irish  led  1  to  0 
going  into  the  last  period.  Holy  Name 
with  a  desperate  drive,  tied  the  game. 
Both  teams  went  all  out  for  that  all-im- 
portant goal.  Furious  hockey  ensued. 
Joe  Marzalik  rushed,  was  steered  into 
the  corner,  fought,  got  behind  the  Holy 
Name  net,  passed  out  to  Joe  Sadler,  who 
made  no  mistake  as  he  drilled  the  piu-k 
high  into  the  net.  Six  more  minutes  and 
the  Midget  cup  would  return  to  St.  Mich- 
ael's. Holy  Name  fought  their  hearts 
out;  but  the  Double  Blue  fought  even 
harder  and  when  that  gong  sounded  they 
were  an  hilariously  tired  bunch  of  T.H.L. 
champs. 

Every  player  on  this  great  team 
was  a  champion.  John  Bennett,  who, 
due  to  more  experience,  finally  beat 
out  Johnny  Morrison  for  the  goal- 
tending  duties,  gave  proof  of  his 
brilliance  by  allowing  a  meagre  6 
goals  in  the  last  7  "clutch"  games. 

On  defence  there  was  one  tough 
big  guy,  and  one  tough  little  guy : 
Pat  Powers  and  Ted  McLean.  Six- 
ty minute  men  and  game  to  the 
core,  they  possessed  a  truly  uncanny 
ability  to  break  up  rush  after  rush 
with  a  deadly  poke  check,  and  when 
necessary,  to  smash  attackers  witli 
lustv    bodv    checks.      After    careful 


investigation, 
fan      could 


not  one 
remember 
ever  seeing  an  opponent 
go  around  either  one  of 
these  boys,  let 
even  daring 
through      them. 


Doug 
McGllllvray 


alone 
to  go 
for  a 
clear  shot  on  goal,  even 
once  in  those  last  5 
games.  Besides  that, 
they  broke  and  led  dan- 
gerous rushes  time  af- 
ter time. 

The  defensive  work  of  the  team  was 
augmented  considerably  by  two  sets  of 
fast  skating,  tenacious  wings,  who  not 
only  held  the  opposition  to  a  mininunn 
of  shots  on  goal,  but  also  scored  their 
share  of  very  important  goals  themselves. 
Joe  Sadler,  who  got  3  of  the  5  goals 
against  Holy  Name,  and  Doug  McGilli- 
vray,  whose  goal  beat  Jersey  Cubs,  were 
Joe  Marzalik's  wings.  Centred  by  Jack 
McPherson,  Paul  Kane  and  Jack  Geary 
not  only  did  an  almost  perfect  defensive 
job,  but  it  was  Paul's  goal  that  saved 
the  Irish  from  elimination,  and  it  was 
Jack's  goal  that  helped  to  finish  U.T.S. 
in  the  3  to  2  game. 

Most  brilliant  of  the  forwards  and  a 
great  playmaker  was  Joe  Marzalik,  whose 
goal  and  assist  put  out  Jersey  Cubs  and 
whose  outstanding  work  against  Holy 
Name  was  a  tower  of  strength  to  the 
Irish.  A  tenacious  foreeheeker,  and  tire- 
less baekchecker  was  that  terrific  fighter,

Minor  Bantams 


A  toast  to  the  first  City  Cliampion 
Minor  Bantam  team  that  St.  Michael's 
has  produced! 

In  the  City  finals  these  fighting  young- 
sters proved  that  they  were  the  class  of 
Toronto  when  they  defeated,  by  a  score 
of  10  to  0,  a  smaller  yet  courageous  St. 
Mary's  team,  diocesan  C.Y.O.  champions. 

Last  November  seventy  boys  emerged 
in  groups  on  the  large  ice  surface  of  Var- 
sity  Arena   early    in   the    morning,    with 
ambitions    to    become 
Minor  Bantams.     Under 
the    eagle    e.ye    of    the 
coach  the  process  of  eli- 
mination took  place.    In 
a    few    weeks    a    dozen 
made  the  team ;  the  oth- 
ers played  in  the  house 
league  in  the  yard. 

As  the  season  rolled 
on  the  Minor  Bantams 
won  victory  after  vic- 
tory, piling  up  16  wins, 
1  tie,  and  1  loss,  and 
scoring    80    goals    with 


FltzQerald,  Chapman,  Sandford 


but  19  scored  against  them — in  both 
league  and  exhibition  games.  They  swept 
through  their  group  with  but  one  loss 
and  then  smashed  U.T.S.  3  to  1  and  5  to 
1,   to   capture   the   group   title. 

In  the  T.H.L.  .semi-finals  St.  Michael's 
was  matched  against  a  flashy  Marlboro 
squad,  the  pick  of  the  city.  Our  boys 
eked  out  a  two  to  one  win  in  the  first 
game,  due  to  goals  by  Sandford  and  Fitz- 
G-erald.  The  next  game  ended  in  a  3-3 
draw.  The  tying  goal 
was  scored  in  the  last 
few  seconds  by  Sandy. 
The  final  game  was  at 
Royal's  rink.  St.  Mike's, 
although  hard  pressed 
all  the  way,  showed  that 
they  were  title  bound  by 
their  4  to  2  win.  Selby 
with  two,  Sandford  and 
Chapman  with  one  each, 
were  the  goal-getters. 

Then  came  St.  Mary's 
and  the  City  Champion-

Minor  Midgets 


In  the  regular  schedule  of  the  College 
group  of  the  T.II.L.  the  Minor  Midgets 
raced  through  with  seven  wins,  one  tie, 
and  no  losses;  they  stood  first.  In  the 
gron]i  play-oifs  these  youngsters  met  a 
battling  U.T.S.  squad.  In  a  best  of  three 
game  series  U.T.S.  tied  St.  Michael's  twice 
and  beat  them  twice.  The  only  two  defeats 
all  year  came  at  the  wrong  time,  and 
so  the  Minor  Midgets  called  a  halt  to  a 
highly  successful  season. 

Goalie  Roy  iMitehell  sparked  a  stub- 
born defensive  club  with  his  sensational 
scrambling  stops.  Blocking  defenseman 
Benie  Holland  was  complemented  by  the 
tricky  stiekhandling  of  Pat  Reynolds. 
Hilliard  Carter,  Rowan  McDonald  and 
Ed.  McTague  alternated  to  aid  this  brick- 
wall  defense.  Planked  by  the  cool  sharp- 
shooting  of  John  Durand,  and  the  vigor- 
ous checking  and  tricky  stiekhandling  of 
Grant  Murphy,  Paul  Pelow  with  his 
smooth  skating  and  clever  playniaking 
centered  the  team's  high-scoring  line. 
Earl  O  'Neill,  with  his  accurate  pas.ses,  pro- 
vided wingmen  Tom  Gately,  Basil  Orsini, 


Steve  Coates,  Paul  Shoobert,  with  numer- 
ous opportunities  for  brilliant  goals. 

Hard,  consistent  checking  and  a  strong 
defense  in  front  of  a  good  goalie  is  the 
bulwark  of  any  team's  success.  Team- 
work and  co-operation  is  the  highlight  of 
a  good  forward  line.  Combine  these  with 
rugged  endurance  and  a  determined  spirit 
and  you  have  a  picture  of  the  Minor  Mid- 
gets of  1941-42.  Paul  Harris.

Bantams 


"Red"  Ilorner  once  described  a  jrreat 
hockey  player  as  one  having  "head,  heart 
and  lenrs."  The  1942  edition  of  the  Ban- 
tams were  heady,  fought  their  hearts  out, 
but  as  a  team  they  lacked  that  third 
quality  represented  by  the  term  "legs" 
viz.  physical  size.  In  the  group  finals 
against  Upper  Canada  this  defect,  more 
than  anything  else,  caused  their  down- 
fall. In  the  first  game  amidst  wild  Irish 
cheering  at  the  St.  Michael's  Night  at 
Varsity  the  Bantams  whipped  U.C.C.  4 
to  0.  Cavotti  and  Harrison  scored  two 
goals  each,  while  Hector  in  the  twine  was 
outstanding.  The  next  two  games  saw 
U.C.C.  win  1  to  0  and  3  to  1,  to  take  the 
group  title. 

The  kid  line  of  Scholes,  Harrison  and 
Wlnslow  performed  brilliantly  at  times, 
and  with  more  strength  and  stamina  next 
year  will  prove  to  be  a  very  dangerous 
trio.     They  were  the  team's  high  scorers. 

Moran,  Sullivan  and  Robertson  formed 


the  other  line  which  excelled  in  going  at 
top  speed  both  ways.  These  boys  definite- 
ly will  be  fine  hockey  players. 

Backing  up  these  two  sets  of  forwards 
thei-e  was  Cavotti,  a  fast  breaking  de- 
fencemen,  who  was  a  goal  scoring  for- 
ward and  a  sound  rearguard  all  rolled 
into  one;  ]Marrin,  a  stubborn  defensive 
player;  and  Sheedy,  Brown,  Prendergast, 
and  Bracken;  the  latter  was  also  the  gen- 
eral assistant  to  the  coach ;  he  kept  the 
dressing  room  in  fine  "order"  all  sea.son. 

In  the  nets  G-erry  Hector  proved  time 
and  time  again  that  he  is  Toronto's  top- 
notch  young  goalie.  Altlioiigh  only  a 
bantam  in  age,  he  was  the  veteran  of  the 
team,  having  gone  through  three  cam- 
paign for  the  Double  Blue. 

The  Bantams  failed  to  capture  the 
Prep  Group  title  for  the  first  time  in  five 
years.  However,  their  season  on  the 
whole  was  a  successful  one  and  they  learn- 
ed a  lot  of  hockey.

Michael  Kirby 


Most  of  the  students  of  Ht  Michael's 
Collefre  H.S.  knew  Michael  Kirby  as  a 
fine  scholar  and  a  popular  companion, 
unobtrusively  but  capably  active  in  many 
school  affairs,  long  before  they  discovered 
that  he  already  possessed  several  fifrure- 
skating  titles.  This  page  is  meant  only  to 
chronicle  Michael's  skating  career,  but  it 
is  indeed  worthy  to  remark  that  he  played 
a  leading  role  in  the  school's  production 
of  "You  Can't  Take  It  With  You,"  that  he 
has  demonstrated  exceptional  oratorical 
talent,  leads  cheers  before  the  student 
cheering  section  during  the  football  and 
hockey  seasons,  and  has  been  a  class  leader 
in  his  studies  since  he  entered  this  school. 

Michael  began  figure-skating  in  Win- 
nipeg in  1934,  and  he  was  crowned  Senior 
champion  there  in  January,  1942 ;  but  the 
intervening  years  belong  largely  to  Tor- 
onto and  St.  Michael's.  After  winning 
several  club  championships  in  Winnipeg 
he  came  to  Toronto  in  1939,  where  he  en- 
tered St.  Mike's.  At  Ottawa  in  the  follow- 
ing year  he  and  his  partner  won  the  Junior 
Pair  Championship  of  Canada;  in  1941  he 
captured  the  Junior  Singles  title  at 
Montreal.  Although  only  seventeen  years 
old  Michael  dove  into  Senior  competition 
in  1942  and  came  up  in  Winnipeg  last 
January  with  the  title  of  Senior  Champion 
of  Canada. 

The  story  is  as  simple  as  that;  yet 
within  that  framework  there  is  outstanding 
achievement.  It  tells  of  a  swift  rise  to  the 
heights,  but  it  do&s  not  relate  the  slow, 
painstaking,  exhau.stive  training  that  lies 
at  the  root  of  his  success.  The  I'ccord  does 
not  inform  us  that  this  was  the  only 
strenuous  sport  that  would  not  put  an  ex- 
cessive strain  on  an  early  heart-condition. 
Neither  do  we  learn  from  it  the  modesty 
with  which  this  champion  wears  his 
laurels.  And,  finally,  it  cannot  describe 
the  thrill  and  plea.sure  one  receives  from 
watching  Michael  perform  with  the  smooth, 
effortl&ss  grace  that  has  won  him  the.se 
titles. 


The  artistry  of  rhythmical  motion  may 
be  seen  in  all  forms  of  sports,  but  no- 
where is  it  the  very  e.ssence  of  a  sport  as 
it  is  in  figure-skating;  no  sport  is  so  much 
an  art  as  this.  The  performer  must  exe- 
cute symmetrical  figures  and  designs.  Some 
are  simple;  many  are  highly  complex  and 
intricate.  All  must  be  accomplished  with 
swiftness  and  grace  so  that  an  unbroken, 
rhythmical  movement  results.  An  observer 
can  only  surmise  the  intense  concentration 
and  high  skill  that  is  required.  For  the 
Senior  Championship  Michael  had  to 
execute  continuous  figures  for  five  minutes, 
and  to  win  he  had  to  do  this  better  than  the 
best  of  Canada's  figure  skaters.  In  accom- 
plishing that  he  proved  himself  a  thorough- 
bred competitor. 

The  bulk  of  the  students  had  their 
first  view  of  Michael  Kirby 's  talented  and 
picturesque  performance  at  the  T.II.L. 
Night  last  February.  Shortly  after  that 
he  plaj'ed  a  prominent  part  in  the  famous 
Toronto  Skating  Carnival.  From,  there 
he  gave  exhibitions  at  St.  Catharines, 
Buffalo  and  Toledo.  During  Ea.ster  week 
he  flew  to  Sydney,  Nova  Scotia,  where  he 
was  the  guast  star  at  the  Cape  Breton 
Speed-skating  finals.  After  that  busy  and 
arduous  season  Michael  hung  up  his  .skates 
and  concentrated  on  studies,  another  field 
in  which  he  excels. 

Michael  Kirby  has  won  not  only  ap- 
plause but  sincere  admiration  wherever  his 
skating  skill  has  taken  him,  and  St.  Mich- 
ael's is  proud  of  him,  not  only  because  he 
is  a  champion,  but  because  he  represents 
well  everything  that  she  is  proud  of  in  the 
activities  of  all  her  boys. 

One  thought  remains.  Has  Michael 
reached  the  absolute  top  ?  Well,  no  ;  if  the 
war  permits,  the  North  American  cham- 
pionship will  be  decided  in  Canada  in  1943. 
lie  is  pointing  at  that,  and  the  students 
will  be  sincerely  behind  him  and  enthusi- 
astically certain  that  he  will  be  holding 
another  crown  a  year  from  now. 


One  Hundred  Seventeen 


Tennis  Tournament 


John  Marols  and  Bob  White. 


For  the  third  consecutive  year,  Jean 
Marois  captui'ed  the  Trophy  symbolizing 
tennis  singles  supremacy  at  St.  Michael's 
College.  However,  competition  was  stiff, 
and  Hugh  Piatt,  the  other  finalist,  put  up 

a  real  fight  be- 
fore he  wa.s  elim- 
inated in  crisp, 
brilliant  sets 
played  well  by 
both  boys.  The 
chief  factor  in 
Jean  Marois ' 
suecejssful  game 
was  his  devastat- 
ing serve,  which  was  always  extremely 
difficult  to  return. 

In  the  doubles,  the  struggle  for  the 
D.  D.  Bennett  Challenge  Trophy  was 
contested  vigorously,  and  when  the  dust 
had  subsided,  Jean  Marois  and  Bob  White 
emerged  triumphant.  Hugh  Piatt  and 
Jim  McLsaac  bowed  before  the  on.slaught 
of  the  victors  in  hard-fought  sets. 

Outstanding  among  many  excellent 
battles  was  the  amazing  fight  of  John 
Piatt  of  nine-four  and  his  ability  to  stay 
with  older  company.  He  defeated  Jim 
McTsaac  4-6;  12-10;  8-6.  Mort  Grass,  a 
newcomer,  impressed  all  with  his  cunning 
on  the  courts.  However,  he  fell  a  victim 
to  Jean  Marois,  6-4  and  6-1.  Many  of 
the.se  boys  will  be  heard  from  again. 
Battling  until  the  last  ace  had  been  served 
they  finally  went  down  to  defeat,  but  their 
turn  will  come. 

Throughout  the  tournament,  the  play 
was  fast  and  strenuous,  and  the  rivalry 
was  keen.  Newcomers  forged  their  way 
to  semi-final  positions,  while  the  veterans 
of  the  game  .subdued  their  younger  oppo- 
nents  only    with    great    difficulty.     The 


greatest  praise  is  due  to  Father  Faught, 
who  was  the  guiding  spirit  during  the 
two  weeks  of  competition. 

Tennis  has  become  an  established  sport 
at  St.  Michael's  after  its  modest  entrance 
five  years  ago,  and  it  deserves  the  popu- 
larity it  has  achieved. 

B.  Dimma. 


A  HEROIC  SOLDIER. 

The  snow  was  falling  thick  and  fast, 
The  ground  was  soft  beneath  his  stag- 
gering feet; 
He  stumbled  upon  a  rude  shelter  at  last 
And  murmured  a  prayer  for  his  safe 
retreat. 

His  face  was  ghastly,  bloody,  and  torn, 
His  legs  were  numb  with  the  pain  and 
weariness. 
"Wistfully  he  gazed  through  the  shroud  of 
morn, 
As  a  lonely  church  loomed  up  in  the 
wilderness. 

Mumbling  a   prayer,  he  clutched  his 
rosary. 
And   dragged   his   weak   body   up    the 
snowy  stairs. 
He  was  a  grim  example  of  heroic  soldiery 
As  he  opened  the  door  to  the  God  of 
all  prayers. 

Found  that  morning  slouched  on  the  floor 
With   his  face  radiantly  peaceful  and 
calm. 
He  had  reached  his  Maker  through  that 
oaken  door 
And  the  light  reflected  on  the  cross  in 
his  palm. 

They  buried  him  quietly  out  on  the 
plain — 
A  soldier  of  God  whom  none  could 
scorn — 
In  a  little  plot  where  his  comrades  were 
lain 
Who  had  died  with  him  on  that  bleak 
winter  morn. 

Bill   Conway,  XII-3.

One  Hundred  Twenty 


Handball  Tournament 


Bill  McTague  and  Hugh  Foley, 
Senior  Handball  Champions. 


When  the 
first  tinge  of 
brown  appears 
on  the  old  elm 
overlookin":  the 
handball  courts, 
it  is  a  certain 
sign  to  begin 
the  annual 
t  o  u  r  n  a  ment 
which  deter- 
mines  who  is 
king  of  the  dead-butt.  This  September 
there  was  a  superabundance  of  talent, 
with  each  young  athlete 
ready  to  pit  his  strength 
against  that  of  a  worthy 
opponent. 

In  the  senior  champion- 
ship, there  was  many  a 
game  which  resounded 
mightily  on  the  white- 
washed walls  of  the  alleys. 
Hugh  Foley,  a  fifth- 
former,  finally  defeated 
Tom  Cullen,  a  valiant 
fighter,  even  in  defeat, 
with  beautifully  hit  drives 
and  clever  serves  to  become  champion. 

The  doubles  saw  Foley  teamed  with 
Bill  McTague,  and  they  beat  their  way 
to  the  finals,  a-s  did  Wallace  Mildon 
and  Peter  D'Agostino.  The  greater 
experience  of  the  former  pair  was 
enough  to  give  them  the  title,  but  no 
one  can  deny  that  the  teams  were 
evenly  matched. 

Ray  Cuneo,  a  first-form  contes- 
tant, and  therefore  a  dark  horse,  was 
the  victor  in  the  junior  singles.  He 
had  to  go  all  out,  however,  to  elim- 
inate Jim  Symmes,  but  he  managed 
to  do  .so  with  the  dexterity  and  skill 
of  a  seasoned  veteran. 

Speed  was  the  order  of  the  day  in 
the  junior  doubles,  and  to  do  jus-tice 
to  all,  it  must  be  admitted  that  it 
would  be  difficult  to  pick  the  winners, 
after  seeing  ditferent  teams  in  action. 
But,    after    some    thrill-packed    mo-

raents  and  hard-fought  games,  Ed.  Har- 
rison and  Tony  Nadal  gained  the  mastery, 
following  a  .strenuous  climax  with  Fred 
Stolte  and  Jim  Symmes,  who  were  never 
out  of  the  fight. 

Thus,  another  handball  season  ended, 
and  with  it  many  stirring  memories.  Next 
year,  there  will  be  another  contest,  but  it 
will  have  great  difficulty  in  equalling  or 
even  approaching  the  mighty  success  of 
King  Handball  in  1942.

denied.  This  year's  champs  are  true 
representatives  of  their  league,  combin- 
ing, as  they  do,  the  best  of  ability,  coupled 
with  a  spirit  of  sportsmanship  and  will- 
ingness to  learn.  You  really  cannot  say 
much  more  in  their  praise;  every  boy  who 
played  will  always  remember  this  season 
as  one  of  the  high  spots  in  his  life.  Fare- 
well to  another  season  of  the  J.H.L.  of

The  Father  and  Son  Banquet 


FATHER    McINTYRE    SAYS    A    FEW    WORDS. 

Another  popular  activity  was  added 
to  St.  Michael's  already  long  list,  with 
the  inauguration  of  the  annual  Father 
and  Son  Banquet.  On  May  26,  Brennan 
Hall  was  the  scene  of  this  joyous  occa- 
sion. All  in  attendance,  and  they  were 
man}-,  were  in  high  spirits.  A  succulent 
turkey  dinner  did  little  to  detract  from 
their  jubilation.  Nor  was  the  dinner  the 
main  attraction;  both  Academic  and  Ath- 
letic awards  were  presented.  The  Band, 
directed  by  Mr.  Cesar  Borre,  gave  a 
pleasing  recital. 

After  Athletic  lettere.  were  awarded 
to  the  outstanding  athletes  of  the  year, 
Mr.  H.  Earl  Elliott  of  Upper  Canada 
College,  College  Representative  of  the 
Toronto  Hockey  League,  awarded  T.II.L. 
crests  to  the  four  victorious  teams.  House 
League  Hockey  and  Football  crests  were 
presented  to  the 
champs  by  their 
coaches. 

On  the  Academic 
side,  gold  medals 
were  received  by  the 
following  students : 
Michael  O'B  r  i  e  n, 
Leon  ard  Casciato, 
"William  Young,  Wil- 
liam Dimma  and 
Patrick  Gravelle,  for 


General  Proficiency  in  their  respective 
grades. 

In   his   speech,   Fr.   Mclntyre    pro- 
mised a  Junior  "A"  team,  a  promise 
well   fulfilled  this  year.     The  Honour- 
able  Salter  Hayden,   a   trustee  of    St. 
Michael's,    described    some    of    his    ex- 
periences  with    his    Toronto    Baseball 
Leafs,  while  everyone  relaxed  and  en- 
joyed the  after-dinner  speeches. 
The  evening  was  one  of  pleasure  and 
i-elaxation,    with    the    fathers    getting    a 
closer  glimpse  of  their  .sons'  lives  at  St. 
Michael's.     Even  bigger  and  better  ban- 
quets are  promised  for  the  years  to  come, 
but    this    one    will    perhaps    remain    the 
longest  in  the  memories  of  the  students, 
fathers  and  faculty.

St.  Michael's  Noon  Hour  League 


"Never  a  dull  moment,  nor  an  idle 
hand."  This  was  the  slogan  of  St.  Mich- 
ael's many  noon  hour  interform  leagues, 
and  they  fultilled  it. 

Since  last  year's  Thurible  rolled  off  the 
press,  no  less  than  nine  leagues  have  oper- 
ated, and  all  with  outstanding  success. 
The  championship  of  five  Softball,  two 
touch  rugby,  and  two  hockey  leagues 
have  all  been  fought  for  and  won. 

Way  back  last  summer,  no  respectable 
bird  was  safe  alone  above  our  backyard 


with  all  those  softballs  whizzing  around. 
Even  if  he  did  get  through  Tenth  Grade 
Champs  X-2's  batting  practice,  it  would 
just  mean  stopping  one  of  Pr.  Sheedy's 
demonstration  homers  for  his  team,  XT-1. 
R.T.P.  Mr.  Bird.  Should  he  have  been, 
however,  a  charmed  creature,  he  may 
have  survived  long  enough  to  get  in  front 
of  a  ball  looping  out  from  a  IX-1,  IX-2 
game  which  he  had  imprudently  approach- 
ed, judging  it  to  be  sensational  from  the

MIDGETS. 

(Continued  from  page  109) 

Jack  MePherson,  who  scored  3  "chips 
down"  goals  in  the  playoffs. 

There  never  yet  ha.s  been  a  champion- 
ship team  that  didn't  have  a  player  who 
could  step  up  and  fill  in  a  breach  on  the 
team  any  where  and  any  time.  For  the 
Midgets,  Jack  Harper  was  the  boy  who 
did  that  job  to  perfection.  It  was  he  who 
relieved  at  defence  when  necessary, 
played  a  vicious  cheeking  game  at  centre 
against  U.T.S.,  and  did  a  masterful  job 
at  left  wing  against  Holy  Name  when  Mc- 
Gillivray  was  out  for  the  last  two  games. 

Due  to  injuries,  Pete  D'Agistino  and 
Fred.  Ga'bourie  were  not  in  these  play-off 
games.  But  during  the  regular  .season 
they  proved  themselves  to  be  stars  and 
the  Midgets  missed  their  services. 

If  all  these  boys  continue  to  improve 
as  they  did  this  year,  and  to  fight  as  they 
fought  this  year,  then  and  only  then  we 
will  watch  them  go  in  the  future. 

And  so  concluded  the  greatest  season 
St.  Michael's  has  had  in  her  long  connec- 
tion with  the  Toronto  Hockey  League — A 
MIDGET  CHAMPIONSHIP— A  IMINOR 
BANTAM  CHAMPIONSHIP  AND  A 
MIDGET  KING  CLANCY  CHAMPION- 
SHIP.    CONGRATULATIONS !

pass  closed  in  for  a  desperate  try.  Hav- 
ing obtained  position,  they  kicked  the 
ball  through  the  uprights  with  a  place- 
ment to  take  a  2-point  edge  and  win  the 
game  12  to  11. 

And  so  ended  another  football  sea- 
son. Every  game  was  a  desperately  fought 
affair,  in  which  the  players  showed  true 
Irish  drive  and  the  student  body,  which 
followed  the  team  to  every  game  and  gave 
grand  support,  enjoyed  to  the  full. 


ST.  MICHAEL'S  RADIO  QUIZ  TEAM. 

On  Saturday,  April  24,  on  Simpson's 
"What's  the  Answer"  program  over 
CFRB,  a  team  from  St.  Michael's  defeat- 
ed a  team  from  De  la  Salle  by  200  points, 
1.100  to  900.  The  Irish  team,\vhich  miss- 
ed only  two  questions,  was  composed  of 
Burke  Seitz  Thirteen-One,  Sam  O'Hara 
Eleven-Two,  Martin  O'Leary  Eleven-Two, 
and  Bob  Macdonald,  Eleven-Two.  These 
boys  were  the  survivors  of  a  previous  eli- 
mination contest. 

On  the  same  program  Bill  Dimma, 
Eleven-Two,  was  chosen  to  be  the  an- 
nouncer. He  performed  his  task  very 
capably.  Earlier  in  the  year  Dan  Mc-

this  same  program.

The  Publicity  Club 


The  group  pictured  above  em- 
bodies the  spirit  of  St.  Michael's. 
This  club  was  organized  two  years 
ago,  and  under  the  direction  of  Fa- 
ther ;\Iiller,  the  founder,  it  has  work- 
ed furiously  on  numerous  school 
activities.  Bill  JIacDonald,  Paul 
McLean  (who  due  to  injuries  had  to 
retire  from  athletics  this  vear),  Paul 
Irish,  Des  PitzGerald,  Mike  Kirby 
and  Dave  Roche  were  inspirational 
cheerleaders  wlio  organized  the 
cheers  into  a  united  eifort  for  Dou- 
ble Blue  victories. 

Phil  Cryer  faithfully  kept  the 
Ma.jor  and  Buzzer  standings  and 
schedules  posted  before  the  e.ves  of 
the  student  body.  Fred.  Ilickey  was 
the  rapid-fire  head  of  the  ticket  sell- 
ing division.  The  other  boys,  led 
by  Bob  Burns,  Paul  Harris  and  Ber- 
nard Nichols,  literall.v  flooded  the 
basement  with  signs  and  posters  of 
coming  events. 

Over  on  the  right  you  see  Ray  ilorris, 
demon  photographer,  who  kept  popping 
up  from  nowhere,  to  take  pictures  of 
student   interest. 


Ray  Morris,  Thurible  Photographer. 

These  boys  have  done  a  grand  job  of 
creating  a  feveri,sh  interest  in  the  college 
teams.  May  their  pioneer  spirit  continue 
on  in  the  hearts  of  their  successors.

Last  Year's  Graduates 


We  remember  the  students  who  gradu- 
ated last  year  as  a  fine  collection  of 
scholars  and  athletes  and  worthy  exam- 
ples of  the  traditions  of  St.  Michael's. 
A  glance  at  their  record  this  year  sup- 
ports this  claim. 

Among  these  graduates  are  some  who 
are  forever  learning.  Bob  Thompson,  a 
war  guest  from  England,  and  Ilans  Rott, 
from  Austria,  along  with  Joe  Attard, 
Nick  Kelemen,  Don  Lawlor,  Jim  MeCor- 
mick.  Bob  Hurley,  Jack  McTague,  Kervin 
McDonough  and  Larry  Sullivan  are  study- 
ing Arts  at  St.  Michael's.  The  School  of 
Practical  Science  of  the  University  has 
attracted  Mike  0"Brien,  Keith  Miller, 
Julius  Petrinec,  Bill  Arthurs  and  John 
Moloney.  John  O'llara,  Vin  McNamara 
and  Bill  Blastorah  are  in  Meds.  Tom 
Hayes  is  at  F'orestry.  Paul  Duffy  and  At- 
tilio  Bozzato  are  in  Honour  Chemistry. 
Fred.  Kovalchuck  is  attending  business 
college.  Charlie  Dobias,  skilled  violinist, 
has  gone  to  Central  Commerce.  Mike 
Galan  is  attending  night  school.  Cavan 
Atkinson  is  absorbing  knowledge  at 
Vaughan  Road.  John  Murphy  and  Basil 
Glavin  are  at  Assumption. 

Commencing  studies  for  the  priesthood 
are  Paul  Coughlin,  Lawrence  Cahill,  Ed. 
Piatt,  and  Bill  Harding,  at  St.  Augus- 
tine's Seminary ;  Frank  LaFrance  is  at 
China  Mission  Seminary;  Ed.  Ronan,  Tom 
Lawlor,  and  Jerry  Dubois  are  at  St. 
Basil's  NoA'itiate;  Stan  Hajdasz,  last  year's 
Thurible  editor,  is  with  the  Oblates,  and 
John  Madigan  is  at  a  Seminary  in  New 
Brunswick. 


Offering  their  services  for  their  coun- 
try are  Gillies  Berthiaume,  Bob  Grant, 
Bill  Klersy,  Bob  Ironside,  Laurent  Le- 
francois,  Ed.  McKay,  Joe  Mogavero,  Jack 
Murphy,  Pat  Foley,  Pat  Heenan,  Joe 
Temple  and  Rudv  Desilets — all  in  the 
R.C.A.F. 

Frank  Brown  is  in  the  Bank  of  Com- 
merce at  Grant  and  Queen;  Joe,  his  bro- 
ther, is  taking  a  course  in  actuarial  sci- 
ence. Vin  Gilkinson  works  at  Simpson's 
with  Don  Bennett.  John  Inglis  Co.  em- 
ploys Doug  Ingram  and  Hugh  Ronan ; 
Cliff  Nealon  is  also  helping  in  the  muni- 
tion industry.  B)Ob  Lai  or  and  Terry  Hal- 
lett  are  proving  that  there's  no  place  like 
home.  Rudy  Desilets  played  hockey  at 
Frood  Mines.  Frank  Weis  is  at  Tamb- 
lyn's  wholesale.  Felix  Fritz  is  a  shipper; 
Armand  Durand  is  in  the  Canadian  Na- 
tional Express  Purchasing  department. 
Bob  Gravelle  is  at  the  Toronto  General 
Trusts.  Ed  Gearon  works  at  the  Bank  of 
Nova  Scotia,  Paul  Greenhill  is  studying 
accounting,  and  Fred.  Simpson  is  draft- 
ing for  the  government,  ilike  Goetz  is 
now  at  Radio  College,  preparing  for  the 
R.C.A.F.  Bill  Major  was  too  young  to 
enroll  in  the  University,  so  he  spent  the 
year  working  with  a  lumber  company  in 
Levaek,  Ontario.  Joe  Carter  is  with 
Southam  Press. 

Thus,  in  one  year,  the  class  of  40-41 
has  travelled  far  along  the  road  of  life. 
May  their  successful  journey  continue 
until  they  arrive  at  their  heavenly  goal. 
We  rest  assured  that  they  will  continue 
in  their  various  modes  of  life  as  model 
Catholic  gentlemen.

THE  MAJORS. 

(Continued  from  pag;e  lOij) 

leaninji^  on  the  boards,  chatting  quietly  as 
they  gazed  across  the  shadowed  ice  sur- 
face; two  of  the  greatest  goal-keepers  of 
St.  Michael's  history,  Joe  Cleary  and 
Johnny  Marois.  Their  play  for  the  Ma- 
jors was  coiisistentl.v  brilliant;  each  rose 
to  unbelievable  heights  of  puck-stopping; 
both  were  the  pick  of  the  O.H.A.  goalies. 
Wh}',  I  remember  one  game.  .  .  . 

"Iley,  you!  What  do  you  think  you're 
doing?  Living  here?  Get  out!"  Reluc- 
tantly I  rose,  looked  around  as  my  mem- 
ories faded,  and  left.  .  .  Well,  the  season 
is  over.  .  .  .  Next  year  ?  .  .  .  Next  year  will 
take  care  of  itself  .  .  .  there  will  be  another 
fighting  St.  Mike's  team.  .  .  Yes,  St.  Mich- 
ael's has  always  been  proud  of  her  fight- 
ing teams;  the  Majors  of  1941-42  are  her 
special  boast.  Young,  light,  inexperienced, 
they  won  the  respect  and  praise  of  jilayers 
and  fans  in  Canada's  fa.stest,  roughest, 
smartest  league.  T-hey  were  outplayed, 
outskated,  outscored,  but  never  out- 
fought. Their  opponents  discovered  again 
that  a  St.  Mike's  team  never  quits— re- 
gardless of  the  score.  "The  Fighting 
Irish,"  reporters  labelled  this  squad  of 
gangling    schoolboys — boys    whose    hejirts 


were  big  as  their  bodies  were  small,  whose 
hearts  were  bigger  than  the  bodies  of  more 
mature,  heavier  opjionents.  Those  two 
word.s,  "Fighting  Irish"  are  the  key  to 
the  suecesss  of  the  Majors  of  41-42,  and  to 
the  success  of  their  coach.  Father  Mallon. 
Quiet,  yet  forceful,  cool  and  calm  yet  re- 
solute and  courageous,  Father  Mallon  in- 
stilled such  a  love  of  clean  ]ilay,  such  a 
spirit  of  raw  courage,  such  a  flaming  surge 
of  St.  Mike's  fight  into  his  boys  that  St. 
Michael's  points  with  pride  to  the  Majors 
of  41-42,  a  team  that  lo.st,  but  wa.s  never 
beaten.

partner.  Sham  O'Brien,  nor  Bob  Lowrey, 
the  kicker,  wear  the  cleated  shoes.  .  .  . 
Their  performances  will  not  be  forgotten 
by  those  who  have  watched  them."  .  .  . 
Fr.  Lebel,  C.S.B.,  is  Professor  of  English

late  1890's  ...  in  1931,  St.  Mike's  teams 
won  the  football,  basketball  and  hockey 
championships  of  the  University.  .  .  Fr.

King  Clancy  Midgets 


The  Kiiifif  Clauc.v  iMidjjret  team  which 
won  the  Claiu^y  Championship  was  com- 
posed of  most  of  the  reg:nlar  champion 
Midgets,  some  of  the  Minor  ^Midgets, 
Hugh  Foley  of  the  Majors,  and  Frank 
Imonti  of  the  Buzzers.  Presenting  a  dif- 
ferent line-up  almost  every  game,  this 
team  won  7  and  lost  3  in  the  regular 
schedule.  However,  when  "the  chips 
were  down,"  the.v  fought  their  way  to  the 
title.  In  the  semi-finals  Lambton  Park 
defeated  them  3  to  2  in  the  first  game, 
with  Hamilton,  of  Young  Rangers,  getting 
all  three  of  their  goals,  while  St.  Mike's 
goals  were  scored  by  Foley  and  Imonti. 
Next  day  the  Double  Blue  stopped  Hamil- 
ton cold  and  went  on  to  win  the  game 
4  to  1  and  the  round  6  to  4  on  goals  by 
Marzalik,  Imonti  and  Sadler,  who  scored 
two. 

In  the  finals  St.  Michael's  met  Jersey 
Cubs,  the  team  which  gave  them  such  a 
terrific  battle  in  the  regular  T.II.L.  semi- 
finals. However,  the  Irish  swept  through 
them  this  time  with  4  to  1  and  3  to  1 
wins  to  take  the  round  and  title  7  to  2. 


This  last  game  was  played  on  May  5 — a 
world's  record,  we  think.  You  can  read 
about  these  boys  in  the  articles  about 
their  respective  regular  teams:  suffice  it 
to  say  here  that  the.v  are  a  great  team 
.  .  .  one  that  gave  St.  Michael's  their 
fourth  Clancy  title  in  as  many  years. 


King  Clancy  Bantams 

The  King  Clancy  Bantam  team  was 
formed  from  the  T.II.L.  Bantams  and  was 
strengthened  b.v  the  addition  of  5  players 
'brought  up  from  the  champion  Minor 
Bantams.  The.v  proved  that  the.v  were 
an  outstanding  team  by  winning  their 
first  8  games  without  a  defeat.  During 
this  stretch  the.v  scored  46  goals  against 
9.  However,  in  the  finals  the.v  met  a 
very  strong  club,  the  Marlboros,  who  had 
alread.v  won  the  T.II.L.  title.  Outskated, 
outscored,  but  not  outfought,  the  .voung 
Irish  kids  could  not  stop  the  power  of 
the  Dukes,  and  lost  two  straight  b.v  the 
scores  of  3  to  0  and  6  to  2.

ST.  MICHAEL'S  NOON  HOUR  LEAGUE. 

(Continued  from  page  125) 

cheers  of  the  spectators.  It  was  the  same, 
noon-hour  and  afternoon,  every  day,  but 
with  seventeen  teams  fighting  for  four 
championships,  what  do  you  expect? 

After  the  dust  of  the  last  slide  had 
cleared  away,  there  were  four  brand  new 
champion  teams  to  fit  each  title.  IX-3 
divided  the  honours  in  the  freshman  loop 
with  IX-1,  but  X-2  scrambled  in  a  lone 
winner  in  the  Second  Form  race,  just 
nosing  out  X-1.  In  the  Third  Year  league, 
XI-2  came  out  on  top  with  XI-3  just  be- 
hind.    Hail,  conquering  heroes. 

Also  worthy  of  note  is  the  series  of 
games  between  the  Staff,  the  Boarders, 
and  two  other  Day-student  teams.  Here 
was  Softball  of  a  high  calibre.  The  jeers 
following  an  error  by  one  of  the  teachers 
in  these  games  are  evidence  of  more  than 
just  democracy  of  our  school.  But  the 
respect  gained  by  a  long  homer  made  up 
for  the  boos. 

When  the  autumn  wind  blew  out  the 
bats  and  blew  in  the  pigskin,  as  well  as 
a  new  school  year,  there  were  more 
leagues  operating.  The  wild  mid-day 
football  games  were  organized  into  a 
Noon  Hour  Touch  Rugby  League  for  the 
first  two  forms.  They  were  a  success  from 
the  start,  especially  after  the  riiles  were 
codified.  With  both  teams  having  the 
proportions  of  a  small  army,  anything 
could  happen.  With  a  dozen  or  so  pass- 
receivers  swirling  around  a  gridiron,  it 
did  happen. 

The  playoffs  for  these  titles  were  par- 
ticularly bitterly  contested,  but  finally 
IX-2  downed  their  opposition,  while  X-2 
outlasted  a  string  of  tied  games  to  take 
Second  Form  supremacy. 

Then  the  weather  took  a  hand  again, 
but  the  first  ice  found  two  Noon  Hour 
Hockey  Leagues  ready,  and  raring  to  go. 
What  games  these  were !  With  the  re- 
ferees instructed  to  ovei-look  offsides, 
every  game  was  a  wide  open  thriller. 
The  Tenth  Grade  battles  were  famed  far 
and  wide  for  terrific  ganging  attacks, 
brilliant  goal-keeping  and  driving  shots 
from  centre  ice.  The  First  Form  spec- 
tacles   were    replete    with    unintentional 


fancy  skating,  skate-less  goalies,  and  fre- 
quent individual  scoring  efforts.  X-3  dom- 
inated the  former  league,  and  IX-4  bat- 
tled out  on  top  in  the  latter.  These  finals 
were  played  at  Varsity  Arena. 

The  benefit  of  these  games  is,  un- 
doubtedly, greater  than  anyone  suspects. 
Besides  diverting  idle  hands  from  the 
devil's  work,  they  give  a  boy  an  outlet 
for  his  energy  without  affecting  his 
studies.  They  give  him  a  great  lesson  in 
team  play;  they  make  him  proud  of,  and 
Io3'al  to  his  class,  and  his  school. 

St.  Michael's  may  be  well  proud  of 
these  many  successful  leagues,  and  of  the 
great  effect  they  have  had,  "Never  a  dull 
moment,  nor  an  idle  hand."

JUNIOR  HIGH  SCHOOL  FOOTBALL 
TEAM. 

(Continued  from  page  96) 

fine  bloc'kin<>:  of  Mat-Lellan  and  MeReavy, 
and  the  darin":  tackling  of  Frizzel,  the 
team  returned  at  the  smaller  end  of  a 
7-6  score.  Before  leaving,  a  challenge  was 
issued  to  their  capable  and  gracious  hosts 
for  a  return  game,  which  took  place  a 
few  days  later.  Not  even  the  drizzle  and 
muddy  field  could  dampen  the  ardour  of 
this  manly  machine.  They  outplayed,  out- 
smarted and  outseored  their  heavy  op- 
ponents. The  kicking  of  Kozel,  running 
of  Tmonti,  line  play  of  Duggan,  Egsgard 
and  MacDougall  were  indeed  praise- 
worthy. 

In  the  next  engagement  a  smart  Ham- 
ilton team  had  the  first  points  of  the  sea- 
.son  scored  against  them  by  the  Juniors. 

The  season  ended  with  a  win  over 
Riverdale.  It  was  not  the  City  Champion- 
ship team,  although  many  of  the  cham- 
pions played  on  it.  Loss  of  the  stalwarts 
Bennett,  JIcBride  and  IMcConvey,  due  to 
minor  injuries,  was  more  than  made  up 
for  by  the  stellar  work  of  alternates  Pen- 
drith  and  J.  Howley.  Morrison,  formerly 
a  lineman,  played  well  at  quarter.  Such 
a  conclusion  to  the  season  was  eloquent 
evidence  of  the  progress  made  by  these 
budding  gridiron  warriors,  due  in  the 
main  to  their  eagerness  and  courage.  The 
above  mentioned  were  at  all  times  ably 
supported  by  the  work  of  Costigan,  Par- 
ker, W.  Wilson.  McGuigan,  DesLaurier, 
Boresnok,  Egan,  Murphy  and  Morris. 

The  work  of  trainer  and  manager  was 
capably  done  by  F.  O'Leary  and  J.  0'- 
Mara. 


ST.  MICHAEL'S  T.H.L.  NIGHT. 

This  year  featured  the  inauguration 
of  a  St.  Michael's  T.II.L.  Night.  On  a 
Friday  evening  in  February  over  eleven 
hundred  enthusiastic  Irish  supporters 
thronged  Varsity  Arena  to  pay  tribute  to 
the  future  Double  Blue  stai-s  now  coming 
up  through  the  ranks  of  the  Toronto 
Hockey  League. 

An  added  feature  to  the  evening '.s  en- 
tertainment   saw   the   pr&sent    Majors    en- 


gage St.  Michael's  Old  Boys  in  an  exhibi- 
tion game  which  the  latter  won  8  to  1. 
The  Old  Boys  included  such  former  stars 
as  George  and  Paul  MeNamara,  Johnny 
Callahan,  Neil  and  Claude  Morrison,  Ross 
Hunt,  Gene,  Wilt  and  Frank  Sheedy, 
Tommy  Somers,  and  Walter  Glynn.  Nick 
Metz  handled  the  team  from  the  bench, 
while  brother  Don  handed  out  the  penal- 
ties on  the  ice.  The  game  itself  was  a 
brilliant  affair  and  had  the  crowd  in  con- 
stant excitement.  Old  memories  were  re- 
called by  the  meteor-like  rushes  of  George 
MeNamara  and  the  tricky  stick-handling 
of  Paul;  by  the  blue  line  bouncing  of 
Johnny  Callahan  and  the  puck  ragging  of 
Neil  Morrison.  After  the  game  in  the 
dressing  room,  the  Old  Timers  insisted 
that  this  be  an  annual  affair.  As  one  of 
them  said:  "It  felt  good  to  play  in  the 
old  Double  Blue  again." 

The  crowd  was  treated  to  an  exhibition 
of  figure  skating  by  our  own  Michael  Kirby, 
who  had  just  brought  back  the  Canadian 
championship  from  Winnipeg. 

Mothers,  fathers,  brothers,  and  Sisters 
thrilled  as  they  saw  the  young  T.H.L. 
teams  step  out  on  the  ice.  In  the  first 
game  the  then  future  City  Champion 
Minor  Bantams  showed  that  they  were  title 
bound  when  they  walloped  Hurricanes 
7  to  1. 

In  the  Bantam  game  the  young  Iri.sh 
kids  showed  their  best  form  of  the  sea.son 
by  beating  Upper  Canada,  4  to  0. 

The  Minor  Midgets  were  not  as  fortun- 
ate as  the  other  team.s,  and  ended  up  by 
losing  to  Chewies'  Aces,  5  to  2.  However, 
they  put  up  a  great  game,  and  it  was  no 
disgrace  to  lose  to  the  team  that  went  on 
to  win  the  cup. 

In  the  last  game  of  the  evening  St. 
Michael's  Midgets  put  on  a  brilliant  dis- 
play to  win  1  toOagain.st  Bi  rebel  iff  e'.s,  one 
of  the  best  midget  teams  in  the  city.  The 
Midgets  went  on  to  win  the  city  champion- 
ship, as  well  as  their  younger  brothers, 
the  Minor  Bantams.  And  so  the  St.  Mich- 
ael's supporters  saw  a  brilliant  array  of 
young  Irish  talent  and  they  left  the  Arena 
high  in  their  hopes  and  predictions  about 
St.  Michael's  O.H.A.  teams  in  the  very 
near  future.
