ALUMNUS AUGUST 1968


reverts to their school days again.

VISITING-

This year our Student Government has planned the usual full schedule and has labeled the product. Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow. What they want to do, particularly in the parade, is recreate some of the flavor of the UD of Yesterday, show what it is like Today, and project into the Tomorrow. It should be interesting. They've taken on a hard task but, like you young 'uns when you were in school, the seemingly impossible is always accomplished.

the chapters with Alumni Secretary MARY SHAY

The summer is not even half over as I write this but when you read these lines it'll be around the first of September. That is the time of the year when we start thinking of Homecoming. That's the fun time of the school year. Everyone sets aside their problems and

It is too early to go into any more detail. Each year the alumni list for Homecoming increases. You'll be getting reservation blanks, etc., from us so please fill them out early. We're always looking to make the registration, the alumni mass, the dinner, the football game reservations, and the dance the BIGGEST EVER. Let's join the parade to Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow.

40 YEARS YOUNG ...

Members of the 1928 Prep Class scooped Homecoming and held their 40th Class Reunion on Saturday, June 22. The "ARKERS" scheduled a 4:00p.m. Mass in the Immaculate Conception Chapel. Rev. Louis Wiesner, S.M., Cleveland and Rev. Thomas Clayton, C.PP.S., Carthegena, con-celebrated the Mass, with Rt. Rev. Msgr. Clarence Leibold, Coldwater, attending. Following the Mass- the "ARKERS" did their traditional march- and paid their respects to the "ARK" - -known to younger alumni - as the "old" R.O.T.C. Building - later the Registration Center and the Theology Building. A cocktail party and dinner followed in the Kennedy Union. A special vote of thanks to Mr. Walter Piekutowski for all his efforts in organizing this reunion which was enjoyed immensely by all those in attendance.

Aftermath of the 1942 Class Reunion was evidenced in Syracuse, New York . . . It seems that Joe McShane took some pennants back with him ... placed them in many restaurants in the city which h e frequents. Bob Butler visited with him - and w as amazed at the following Joe has developed for the Flyers in that area ... Friends of Joe's drape d the pennants in black prior to N.I.T .. .. P.S. The drape was quickly removed following our N.I.T. Victory.

SAFARI TO CHILLICOTHE By JOE McLAUGHLIN

Editor, ALUMNUS

Al Mahrt, '12, an executive who wore many hats for the Mead Corporation over 39 years, has retired in all ways but one. He has not lost his enthusiasm for the world around him. A visit to his very lovely hillside home in Chillicothe, Ohio, leaves one with the impression that Al Mahrt, despite 75 years of life, could still wear those hats in a vibrant manner. When you sit on his comfortable sun porch, as Bro. Elmer Lackner, photographer Ed Morris, and the writer did in late June, you are face-to-face with an energetic human being who takes you to the early 1900's when he was a good student and top athlete at St. Mary's Institute [now U.D.J, down through the years as he climbed the administrative ladder with Mead, and to the present where he lives the quiet life on Cedar Lane.

Right- AI Mahrt.

Despite a keen, retentive mind for the past, it is the present which seems to interest him most. He talks of the business world today. He discusses the stock market with enthusiasm. He wants to know about the things which his alma mater and many other universities face today. He speaks of the student unrest in the colleges and universities and the social revolution around the country. He doesn't expound on his theories. He asks questions. He is a great listener, filling in a comment here and there. He shows a great understanding of the issues of the day. He takes a vital interest in their progress. But he speaks softly and lovingly of the old days. 'Tve lived a rich and blessed life," he says. "God has been good to me. I look back fondly on many friends ." Probably because of his visitors, he spoke principally of his life on the St. Mary's Institute campus and his connection with the school since that time. "In my memory, Bro. (Ferdinand) Leimkuhler, Bro. (Adam) Hoffman, Bro. (Bernard) Shad and Bro. (William) Wohlleben were the key faculty members at the school in my day," he says. "They w ere wonderful to me. I remember running errands to the library for some of them and I recall that Bro. Wohlleben started the chemistry program around our time. "When I go back to the school and look toward the NCR I envision all open field. That area is so changed today. "And," he recalls laughingly, "there were no women allowed around the campus in those days." In answer to a question he said: "We lived at 760 S. Main Street and used to walk to school every day." He developed his early sports talents playing on the lots around Franklin and Ludlow streets and Emmanuel Church. He has the facility to remember names. His relations include some of the city's famous families. His mother was a Schantz; his wife, Marcie, is a Niehaus. The year h e married Marcie she was named the prettiest girl in Dayton by the photographers club. This was in 1921. He played ball with Hugh and Norb Sacksteder, Al Schumacher, Ralph Baker and George (Babe) Zimmerman among others. Father O'Maley and Harry Solimano were two of his coaches at St. Mary's. Both Mahrt and Solimano are charter members of the University of Dayton Athletic Hall of Fame. He was the quarterback in football and one of the first passers in the history of

the game. He played with and against the great Jim Thorpe in professional ball. He was a guard in basketball and a catcher in baseball. He was on undefeated St. Mary's football and basketball teams. One of the basketball teams defeated the old Buffalo Germans for the "World championship." He didn't mention it but he once caught Jesse Haines, later a fine major league pitcher. "We used to play football after college with the old Dayton Triangles at Triangle Park where the baseball field is now located," Mahrt reminisces. "I played baseball at old Sucher Field on the West Side. One of those teams was the Lily Brews." In later years, a fan once remarked that "Al Mahrt and Sammy Baugh (former Washington Redskin great) were the best passers I ever saw." His friends will tell you he had a fine sense of responsibility, a great fervor and capacity for detail. Apparently these attributes stood him in good stead as he climbed the administrative ladder in the business world. As mentioned earlier he wore many hats at the Mead Corpo ration from 1928 until 1967. He was an accountant by trade and it was his capacity for detail and financial wizardry which helped the Mead Corporation become the giant it is today. As Mead grew, Mahrt would assume positions of treasurer, or president, or a director of a new subsidiary. He w as always a key planner in the absorption of divisions. When AI joined the Mead group its sales were around $1 million. In 1966, they had grown to $620 million. Upon his retirement on March 28, 1967, Mr. H. E. Whitaker, Board Chairman of Mead, said in part: "We will remember Al Mahrt as a superb athlete and one of the builders in Mead history . .. No man ever possessed more drive, honesty and integrity than Al and he became the very symbol of Mead's 'brown paper mills,' one of which now bears his name ... " Al had come a long way since the early 1920's when the Dayton Daily News editorialized : "He is quiet and gentle ... clean in his habits of life and in his thinking. He is considerate of other people's rights at all times ... " The Mahrt Mill in Mahrt, Alabama, among other things is a tribute to this U.D. grad.

The writer makes a point with Mr. Mahrt, center, and Bro. Elmer Lackner, right.

ROAD TO SUCCESS ... Lorenzo Harris, '51, is a man with a head for business and his know-how has led him to success. He is the owner of a thriving food market in Dayton and is planning to expand his operation by opening another store this month. Harris, who is a 1951 graduate of the School of Business Administration, opened his first store 14 years ago. He had seven years of supermarket experience behind him, but was unable to get the modest loan he needed to establish his business. Then he got his first break. The Negro couple who owned the building in which he hoped to open his market, sold the building to him without a down payment and advanced him a $2,000 loan to work with. Added to this was $600 he had raised on the sale of his car, and with this money he stocked the store and opened fm business early in 1954. He has come a long way since this "shoestring" beginning. His store, known as Ren's Market, was moved from its original location to its present site at 1233 Danner Avenue on Dayton's West Side in 1959. His brother now owns a store in the building Harris bought for his first venture in the grocery business. Since moving to his present location, Harris has enlarged the area of the store twice. Last fall, a $50,000 fire gutted the store and in the process of preparing for reopening, Harris made more improvements in the store facilities. Now the modern market is back in full operation and its owner is busily preparing his second store for opening. His success in business has grown financially from the $30,000 he grossed his first year to the $500,000 gross the store brought in last year. Harris has been active in the Urban League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). He is also interested in the Greater West Dayton Business Association, Inc., an organization that seeks to improve present businesses and encourage new business in the West Dayton area.

"AN AVALANCHE!" Robert Bruggeman, '51, and his wife, Jamie, were the top story in the Dayton Journal Herald on July 16 after Jamie had given birth to triplets - three little girls born the day before. As Bob put 'it: "Did you ever hear of an avalanche?" The girls, who doubled the family since there are two boys and another girl, were named Roberta Marie (five pounds), Jennifer Eileen (five pounds, five ounces), and th e littlest, Mary Geralyn (four pounds, eight ounces). It worked out well since daughter, Cathy Ann, obviously tired of two brothers, had already put in an order for "a sister." Of course, Daddy Bob always does things

12

in a big way so she's got three sisters. Bob didn't even cringe when he was reminded that it only means more diapers and eventually h e'll have to pay for three weddings. As he told the Journal Herald: "Life is going to be an adventure at our house." Bob, w ho is a French teacher at Fairview High School in Dayton, had been indirectly honored when one of his students, Pam Needham, placed first in the nation in a four-year French competition sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French. Pam told the news media : "I owe everything to my French teacher. He's the only French teacher I'vP. had."


NO BARRIER ... Earning a doctorate in chemical engineering is no small chore, but Arthur R. Peck, '59, attained this goal despite total blindness. At commencement exercises on June 13, he was awarded his Ph.D. from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn where he received his M.S. in 1962. This year also marked another first for Dr. Peck in accepting the gift of a seeing eye dog. He has been living in Brooklyn since his U.D. graduation and had been able to get around his neighborhood until the last several months. Five muggings led him to acquire the seeing eye dog, a female Collie-Shepherd guide dog, Yash. Dr. Peck, whose blindness has developed over a period of 20 years, was in the Merchant Marine during World War II. The 40-year-old veteran lost his sight gradually as a result of two fires on merchant ships during the war. While studying at U.D., he could only see under very strong light and with extra-thick glasses. The new Ph.D. accomplished his classroom and lab work at P.I.B. in seminars and special conferences . He also used his apartment as a classroom and received help from volunteer students and tape recordings. Much of his research work was brought to him by students who also typed his 120-page thesis, "An Analytical Approach to the Startup and Shutdown of Processes."

Dr . .Peck, with guide dog Yash, turns in his doctoral thesis to Professor Irving Miller at the Polytechnic's Computer Center.

In speaking of the future, Dr. Peck displays the determination and optimism he has shown during his collegiate studies. "I know my opportunities might be limited," he says, "but being blind isn't that much of a nuisance ."

RED & BLUE SHOULD FINISH "IN BLACK" By GENE SCHILL Sports Information Director

The lifeline of the University of Dayton football success over the last two seasons has been a strong halfback offense. Take your pick -- a speedy little scatback or a bruising power runner - Coach John McVay has had both and he never hesitated using them. The fleetfooted Billy Mayo would run around and away from you and Mel Taylor, Bob Madden and Bernie Kress would run over you. You never knew which it would be but you knew it was coming. The only problem opponents had was trying to stop them. In 1966 the opponents weren't having much success at all and the Flyers racked up an 8-2 season losing only to Bowling Green and Miami of Ohio. Last season the Flyers strengthened their schedule and still finished 6-3-1 with Bowling Green, Louisville and Toledo handing out the defeats. There isn't any reason to feel that McVay will change his tactics this year especially since he has two fine runners returning at the halfback outposts along with the rest of his backfield from last year. Bob Madden and Bernie Kress, both native Buckeyes, will be carrying the majority of the burden from their halfback spots and they have proven in the past that they are extremely capable of getting the job done. Madden has been a starter for the Flyers during the past two seasons and has racked up enough yardage to have a real honest shot at the U.D. all-time groundgaining record. To date, he has pounded enemy lines for 968 yards and needs 603 more for the record. That total 603 would be under his sophomore output of 633 yards, but would still add some joy to the coaches lives. Kress started slow as a sophomore, not b ecause the ability w asn't there but because there were more experienced personnel ahead of him. He did indicate during his spot appearances that he would be hard to contain the following year and how right that was. Last season, as a junior, Bernie ran through opponents for 512 yards and a 4.6 yard average . He showed the strength of a fullback, but the moves of a fine open field runner. He led the team in touchdowns with seven and seemed to get stronger as the year wore on. With Madden at 5'10", 185 lbs. and Kress at 6', 195 lbs. the Flyers have the rugged, experienced halfback corps to ma ke McVay's run-oriented offense move and move well. As mentioned before the remainder of the backfield will return and it's the job of backfield coach Tom Moore to fit all the pieces together. The fact that all the starters are experienced veterans makes that job a bit more enjoyable for Moore. Jerry Biebuyck will lead that offense for the third consecutive year from his quarterback spot. He has fought off "all comers" and h as proved to be an excellent field general and a fine clutch passer, both long and short. Over that two year period Biebuyck h as completed 99 passes for 1490 yards and 10 touchdowns. His effectiven ess in throwing the "Bomb" has kept opponents playing a loose secondary which h as allowed the running game to click. His chief receiver from last year (speedy Billy Mayo) is gone, but Jerry will have a fine selection of receivers to throw to anytime the occasion arises.

14

Along with Kress and Madden he'll have as targets: ends Bill Tant (8 receptions for 117 yards in 1967) , Dennis Sidebottom (8 for 90 yards] and fullback Mike Wilson. Wilson has been used primarily as a blocking back and his size, 6'2", 230 lbs. makes him an excellent pathfinder. He is a vicious blocker who generally is credited with two blocks on play after play. His size also makes him a devastating short yardage runner. He has exceptional agility for a big man which allows him to go either inside or outside. The offensive line has lettermen Jim Stangle (tackle], Tom Kavanaugh (center), and ends Tant and Sidebottom. The defensive line has lettermen Jim Place and Jim Rudzinski at ends, Lou Galiardi and George Kohl at tackles, and Denny Graf and Joe Tyler as linebackers. George Ferlic will take over for the graduated Barry Profato at middle guard. The only veteran defensive back returning is Don Ragon 6'2", 200 lbs., but Ragon is a great one. He has the size, speed and desire to fit his role and the intelligence to make him one of the most respected secondary men in the midwest. Ragon will be joined in the defensive backfield by AI Shatteen, Mike Nelson and Tony Wittbrodt. The top sophomores include quarterback John Haynes, guards Mark Ellison and Rich Weigand, defensive end Dan Quinn, halfback Terry Miller and defensive back Albert Brown. McVay has made no promises of things to come. John McVay and his staff have given the faithful two big winning years in a row and they know that if it can be done again they will do it. Chances are they're right and the Red & Blue should finish "in the black" again in 1968.


BLENDING TALENTS Heather Jenkins Morgan, '58 handles three full-time jobs. She is the wife of Sam Morgan, sales representative for a Dayton printing firm , mother of a lively ten month old son Russell William, and to her many patients in the Dayton area, she is Dr. Morgan. All three roles bundled into one small package typify the life of this U.D . grad. Having a doctor in the family was nothing new for the Jenkins family. Heather's grandfather was a country doctor, her father was a Ph.D. research chemist and director of research at Monsanto Chemical Co., and both of her brothers are doctors - one an osteopath and the other a chemist. Heather was a biology major who after graduation went on to Ohio State University Medical School. Then she served as attending physician in the emergency ward at Miami Valley Hospital. It was during this time that Sam Morgan convinced her that a woman doctor needn't be a confirmed "bachelorette," so the two were married. Little Russell made the family a threesome last year and shortly after, Heather started a medical practice of her own. A general practice is just what Dr. Morgan wants. She enjoys having patients of all ages , children through grandfathers. Her patients seem to be considerate of the fact that she does have a family, so when they call her at home, she knows it must be important. Even though home is only several blocks from her office, Heather misses her son while she's caring for patients. She's looking forward to the day when a bigger office will allow her to have a baby sitter with Russell right in a room at the office. Then she can keep an eye on him first-hand. Equally at home wearing a brightly colored coat as she administers to her patients or in the Morgan house caring for her family, Heather performs her job- all of her jobs- well.

championship teams at St. John's, he helped get the team off the ground. Then during the winter m onths he coached both the grammar school boys and th e Home boys in basketball. When his two teams clashed on the hardwood, the twin-team coach learned how to doubletalk. He had to console the losers and praise the winners. A sports committee was formed a t St. Camillus. There are now 250 boys entered and some fifty parents working behind the scenes. The 'stadium' complete with umpires, coaches and managers had fourteen teams ready for play on opening day. This spy can report to Brother Frank's superior that he is resting. When he is pitching to a batter he is only limbering up his arm. That cane h e carries is just for pointing and moving a fielder into position. When he accompanies a few dozen kids on the piano h e is just relaxing. When h e's in the midst of a bunch of happy boys he's not working- he's telling wonderful boy stories. For the record he's retired - but actually he still is busy bringing happiness and love to youngsters. But what else could anyone expect from Brother Frank? He is and always has been a giver. And best of all- the guy is contagious. God bless him and a million thanks to him and for him."

Friends Meet

Fred Aicher, '30, and Vincent Trunk, '26, relived 35 years in one r ecent week in July. The "old" friends from St. John's in Brooklyn saw one another for the first time since 1942 and the ALUMNUS can take credit for the Dayton visit of Mr. Trunk. The classnotes of the November issue mentioned that Fred was confined to his home and . would like to hear from old friends. Vinnie, who is a widower since 1963 and retired from the Newark, New Jersey, school system, read the article and contacted Fred. Through the mail they planned a summe r visit. Vinnie was h ere during the first week of July and the two men, who taught to gether from 1932 to 1942, went back over "35 years," according to Fred. Both men ar e Brooklyn boys and first met when they were teaching at St. John's. Fred and Sylvia, and Vinnie and Vera were good friends during those years. The two men were separated when Fred joined the NLRB in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1942. Vinnie was on campus to see old fri ends, Rev. Andrew Seebold, Bro. Bill Hellmer, and Bro.

John Wirtz

Cleveland has always been a fine student recruiting area for the University of Dayton since before the turn of the century. Many a youngster came down from that Lake Erie city and in time became an "old boy," ancient term for a graduate. As time passed and the University discovered women, the young ladies came to U.D. to change the complexion of the campus. Many a Cleveland lass was a part of the migration. Athletes hopped a train and gained glory at U.D., particularly under Harry Baujan. Many of Harry's teams ventured north to play football and basketball. Some U.D. athletes returned to the northern Ohio city to take on coaching responsibilities. It is this latter group which keeps the University of Dayton's name in the forefront of athletics in Cleveland. No less than 13 men are currently returning honor and glory to their alma mater through coaching. It isn't necessarily the wins and losses which count, it is the devotion these men show to youth which brings honor to the University.

Some of these men like John Wirtz, '38; Bill Gutbrod, '50; Vern Weber, '54; Don Lane, '58; Steve Palenchar, '60; and Dave Sterlekar, '64 had outstanding athletic careers at the University. Others played little or no athletics on the southwestern Ohio campus. Yet they are turning in excellent coaching credentials. These include Ed Yemec, '55; Joe Paul, '58; Bill Riccio, '58; Marlo Termini, 52; John Storey, '63; Tom Crowe, '51; and Jack Busher, '64.

His basketball teams won 58 and lost 27. His coaching success at St. Ignatius has included many titles. He shows 122 victories, 35 losses, five ties, 10 league and three city championships in football. His

basketball teams have achieved 264 wins and lost 82. During this time he has corralled eight league, one city, six sectional, two district and two regional titles .

Vern spent time in the service in Korea where he coached and then a year at Chaminade in 1957. The Eagles were city champs. His 3-11-2 record in 1958 and 1959 was not an auspicious start at Gilmour Academy, but once his system was installed, Vern and his Academy men took off on a winning binge which has produced 60 victories, 11 loses and two ties since 1960. His '60 club was co-champion of the North Central Conference and the 1964 team titlist of the Lake Shore League. The school is now independent. The 1963 and 1964 clubs were both undefeated with 9-0 records. A 12-letter winner at Solon High School, Vern was a top fullback and linebacker at U.D . under the late Joe Gavin, 1951-53.

He moved from there to Lima Central Catholic and had a creditable 59-43 five-year record which included sectional titles in two seasons.
