Faculty Changes Show New Faces Opening day of the 1948-1949 session at St. Aloysius found many questioning expressions on the students' faces. In order to elucidate these qu:stions and eliminate any curiosity the following information is herewith supplied. Newly appointed Vice-principal of St. Aloysius is Brother Fred, a familiar face here, who replaces Brother Bernard, now teaching scholastics at Daphne, Alabama. Other Brothers not with us this year are: B. Alcuin, in Alexandria; B. Berchmans and B. Florian now teaching at St. Stanislaus; B. Barry, teaching postulants at Metuchen; B. James, Thibodaux; and B.

Contest from Magazine Donald F. Sivori, senior of Room 1 and studE.nt here for the past 5 years, was "just reading a magazine when I spotted this contest and since it looked interesting, thought I'd give it a try." "Making the model was sorta' tough, but everything turned out well." Smiling he aded, "Receiving an honorable mention and a $15 'Model Builders' tool chest by X-acto Tool Co. makes up for any trouble I went through. I'm gonna' enter it again-next year."

Seniors Explain Freshman Woes Ever wonder why seniors seem so domineering and freshmen "meek as a kitten"? Since schools began, seniors have looked down upon freshmen, who, usually began their school training by having to undergo an uncivilized experiment known as initation. Who does the initating? Seniors! No Limits! Who make freshmen carry their books and substitute for them when they learn that 'blind date' isn't a 'Venus de Milo'? Seniors! But when seniors graduate whom do they invite to the prom? Freshmen? No. Juniors! Peasants! It is reputed that freshmen admire these upperclassmen, but they seem always to get "the rumble seat ride"; yet everyone acts content, accepting it for granted. Seniors Questioned For those few individuals who have wondered why freshmen were so mistreated but were too "timid" to raise their voices in question, the seniors of St. Aloysius have supplied this information: Why is there such a large ('hq~gf~
ll!"P?
F,.e.~"h~e!'!
Who whiz by and knock the hot dog out of your bun as you indulge in a bit of necessity, or cause you to crack your teeth on a pop bottle? Freshmen? Who occupy the coolest classrooms in the summer? Freshmen! Now you know! As regards to sophomores, tests show they're suffering from sophomoritis which, if all goes well, will develop into junioritis, then senioritis, ending up a burden on the freshmen anyway! And it's really their own fault! After all, there wouldn't be any upper classmen, if there were never any freshmen!

Commemorates Congress This Holy Hour will combine with the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Eighth National Eucharistic Congress, in accordance with the desires of Most Reverend Joseph F. Rummel, Archbishop of New Orleans.

Hiliters representing St. Aloysms appeared on the program of that name over W.N.O.E., Thursday, September 16, under the direction of "Bev'' Brown, Mutual station manager.

Hail Conquering Crusaders! Prayers Will Effect Hail to the National Baseball Champs! After winning Summer Prep, the Saints' little men of big baseball roared into first place at Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to take the Amateur Title hands down. Spearheaded by their hustling captain Ray King and an expert pitching staff of Lassalle, Bridges, and Konick, Coach Altobello's boys couldn't be stopped and wouldn't be. It takes many things to make a team great. There must be strict cooperation among the players, strong determination to win, willingness to sacrifice, backed up by hours of practice, and guts to take the sweat and toil of the diamond. The Saints showed that they had what it takes. Soon after achieving the goal of local victory, they went all the way in national competition. Backed by homerun-hitter Al Lichtenstein and pitcher Larry Lassalle, the Crusaders crushed all opposition standing in their path to the Amateur Crown and national fame. Congratulations to you, team-America's Champs. Saint Aloysius and New Orleans arc proud of you!
Marks Earn For Pupils Landry, Maniscalco Year's First Choice as Students of Month Ronald Landry Among the studious seniors of Room 3, your reporter found Ronald Landry, a sharp-eyed young man with a witty sense of humor. Aside from school Ronald does not take part in any particular activities, except those of a sporting nature. He is the easy going type, who just likes to live and let live. Geometry, as taught by Brother Andre, is his favorite classroom subject. Along the social line Ronald is partial to dancing; but his favorite pastime is golfing. After graduation day rolls around, Ronald intends to tuck his sheep skin under his arm and leave for the Tiger campus of L. S. U., where petroleum engineering is to be his course of study. Blaise Maniscalco Who is he? What is he? Is he a great lover, genius, or wondering traveler? Do you know this boy for what he really is? Read on and learn the truth about Blaise Maniscalco. Unknown to many, there beats within the frame of this small. dark-eyed lad the heart of an adventurer. Somehow the desire to travel has stirred in his veins, Possibly it could have been his hobby of coin-collecting that caused him to dream longingly of new country. Nevertheless, the restlesness which goes with wanderlust has seized him Immediately after graduation this year, he intends to set out for spaces beyond.
Freshmen Give Opinions of School; Tell Why Crusader Campus Chosen In answer to the question, "Why did you choose Aloysius for your high school education?" the following freshmen replied:
DAVID LUTMAN, Room 21 ... "I know some friends who come here. So I thought I'd give it a try."
EDWARD HOLMES, Room 11 .. "I came here because of the good grade of teachers, and because I really want to learn something."
ANDREW BONDI, Room 12 ••• "I think it is the best school for boys in the South, and the Brothers are tops.''
RONALD BLANCK, Room 12 .. "My father came here, and I wanted to come too. Now that I'm here, I see why my father came." TERRY FENNER ... "I know some fellows who come here, and I think it's a good school." HARRY FREDERICKS, Room 11 •.• "It is in a class by itself: it's the best." MARIO ADELFIO ... "I came here because my friends told me it was a good school. Now that I'm here, I think it is 0. K." CARL GUDERIAN, Room 11 ... "The school I attended last year required that everyone wear a uniform which I dispise. Also I wanted to take a business course and that institution did not offer me one." ANTHONY FERRETTI, Room 11 • • • "When you get out of St. Aloysius. you're sure to know something,"
WALTER HAUSE, Room 11 ... "I thought I'd like to come to a school taught by Brothers." FRANK SCAIRO, Room 22 .. "Most of my friends come here and it's close to my home. It is, as far as I can judge, a good school."
Russia's Conversion, Says Blessed Mother
"Pray, pray much, and make sacri"·ices for sinners. Many souls go to hell because there are none to make sacrifices and to pray for them." Thus spoke Our Lady of Fatima to three humble Portuguese children, pleading that they practice mortification and prayer. 1917 ... It is noon and the silver-toned Angelus sounds over the mountain at Fatima ... the Lady of the Rosary appears for the first time. In this, and in every apparition at Fatima, Our Lady urged frequent use of the rosary in the words, "Say the rosary always." What does this mean to you? Are you going to ignore the Blessed Mother? Does the Blessed Mother mean anything to you? Isn't she worth a little sacrifice? Is your rosary too heavy to carry? This is the weapon which Holy Church offers us, in Mary's name, to combat so much havoc in the world today. Lastly, October is Mary's month under the title Queen of the Holy Rosary. Think how pleased Mary would be if you recited the rosary daily. How pleased would she be if you made the rosary your treasure!
Anti-Paint Believers Stamp Their Prints On New School Look "Lookout! Hands off! Don't touch that Wall! It's freshly painted!" These plus many more were not the request, but the commands shouted to the students the first few weeks of school. Yet whenever ascending the stairs, directly i11 the center, walks Brother, and filing alongside are the paint-dodging students who by then needed no more warnings about the wet paint. They were branded. Color Combinations Every classroom, hallway, stairway, the Brothers' residence, and chapel now have a "luminous" look about them. They have bluish and greenish, dark brown and light brown, etc., combinations. Many students wonder what happened to red and white. "Wet Paint" signs were tacked throughout th ~ school in their proper places; but as usual, practically every student assumed Roger Bacon's attitude - "Don't believe it, find out for yourself!" But beware fellows, there will be fingerprints taken next week, to see if your prints match that on the wall.
Many and varied and beautiful have been the tributes of praise and affection showered upon Brother Peter by radio and press. All were sincere in lauding him as outstanding educator, boyologist, and friend of youth. As praiseworthy and excelent as have been these tributes, the staff feels that this letter received from one of his "boys" just a few days before his death states poignantly and concisely why his name will be held in reverence for many, many years. Yazoo City, Miss. My dear Friend Brother Peter, In this your long siege of sickness I wish to extend to you my deepest sympathy. For some time I have known of your illness but just learned yesterday where you were. I also learned just how seriously ill you have been. I do hope that thru some mirade, some act of .Fate, some power of prayer that you regain your health and live with your boys and friends again for a long, long time. But if this should be the twilight of your life, and your condition has convinced you that it is so, I am sure that you will leave behind you a host of friends and a multitude of men whose lives have been brighter and whose service has been greater to their fellow men-because of your influence upon them. Your kindness, understanding and guidance in the early years of my association with you have always been as a sort of beacon to guide my ship of life. If by chance there should be but few who have confessed this to you, you may be sure that there are many of the same conviction. Eagerly I shall watch the press for reports of your condition to rejoice if you should recover, and to lament the passing of a great friend and great leader of men if it should be the will of God to call you to eternal rest. As ever, EARL-

Saint Aloysius' transportation department has at long last received reinforcements! Yes sir, a shiny new Reo bus, arrayed brightly in crimson and white, bearing the name Saint Aloysius High School printed in gold letters on its sides, took its place next to the two other busses in the school garage. The Ford and International busses have taken a beating in the ten years that they have been at Saint Aloysius. Came from Michigan Purchased in Michigan, the new bus arrived at Saint Aloysius three weeks ago. The total cost of the vehicle amounted to $5900. Among many other features, the new bus provides a heating and cooling system. It affords space for thirty-five passengers, including the driver. The roof, also, of the bus is higher from the floor compared to the other two busses. Built for Safety From bumper to bumper, the new bus is completely built to insure the safety of the passenger. For instance, it has a mechanism whereby the driver is immediately warned in case someone should tamper with the emergency door. The new bus marks one more step toward a greater and more modern Saint Aloysius.

Summarizing briefly the importance and work of our founding Fathers in framing the Constitutwn, Mr. Rene Nicaud, a prominent local attorney, aided in celebrating Constitution Day by a ten-minute address to the students, September 22.

Getting Outside Is Difficult Now, assuming we already have our lunch, how do we get outside with it? With a sandwich this is easy; simply grasp it in both hands, as if you were strangling your worst enemy, and crash thru the door. With jelly donuts the procedure is slightly different. According to our etiquette editor, Emily Posthole, you should hold them loosely in your left hand and climb out the window. For soft drinks, you just stick your thumb in the opening; but don't try to drink it on your way out. I know one boy who did this. You ought to see his pretty upper plate.

There is no other place in the world quite like the Aloysius Cafeteria. But il' you follow a few simple rules, you can usually get outside again with most of your lunch.

hopes to make up in fresh news what it has lost in size. Eliminating the burden of turning a page or so to finish a story has been one of the minor aims of the staff. There will be no more continuation of stories from one page to another. Staff Attends Class Not minding a lost week of vacation, the staff attended journalism class the week preceding the regular opening of school. This class had many interesting features, and much knowledge was passed to the staff by Brother Alfred, the advisor. All this was do~ce to make the Aloysian better than ever.

Bro.

Brother Christopher sailed with three other Brothers from New York, July 6, aboard the U. S. S. Morgantown Victory. The party expected to reach Mombasa, Africa, in the beginning of September. While on the high seas, however, just east of the Cape of Good Hop!1, Brother Christopher was suddenly taken ill. Boat Ordered Stopped Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the captain ordered the ship stopped; and Brother was taken ashore to a waiting ambulance.

Saints, Tarpons in Important Tilt 'J~onight; Battle of Guards to Feature Titan Clash By Pascal Calogero Prep's first important clash will take place tonight at City Park Stadium when the two title- contending teams from Saint Aloysius and Fortier High knock heads. Two of the finest forward walls in the prep league will see action in the encounter which begins at 8:15 tonight. Clash of Guards Flowered with lettermen thruout, the lines will be strongest at guards where Bobby Nuss and Charlie Bordlee of the Saints and Al Rey and Al Robelot of Fortier cavort. Centers Earl Burke and Del Rice further strengthen the middle and make it highly improbable that there'll be much yardage gained via center smashing. Rounding out the Fortier line will be Myer and Cummings at tackles, with White and Englehart holding down the terminals. Knight tackles will be Martin Otillio and Robert Ponti, while Ed Bravo and "Red" Perret will be the ends.

Conspicuous by their absence, fine backs of former years will be missed in tonight's encounter of the Saints and Tarpons. Fortier wil hold a slight edge in the backfields, this being attributed to the presence in the lineup of Allprepper Ridley Boudreaux. The Crusaders' Jerry Zimmerman will more than match speed with Boudreaux, but here the comparison ends. Jerry lacks the much needed experience of the swivel-hipped Boudreaux. Ad LaPlace, fullback, will carry the brunt of the Saint attack. Huey Bridges, out of last week's game with Catholic Hi because of a broken finger, will probably see action at his quarter-back slot.

"We'll be back next year and we'll be bigger and stronger." These prophetic words of hustling Captain Ray King proved true, as the St. Aloysius Summer Prep Champs captured the National Amateur Baseball Championship in Johnstown, Pa., this past August. Although they were pre-tournament underdogs, the Knights - - By Pascal Calogero - slammed out five consecutive Holy Cross? Jesuit? Fortier? victories over the most powerful Warren Easton? Aloysius?
