FLIGHT

By Roberta Crane
FLIGHT
Racing from discovery
OF wrong and right
Instantly lowering
Between day and night.
The hunted could go far
With night to cover identity
And day to hide away in
For all hunted have fraternity.
WINTER MOONLIGHT
Through cold still sky
IN cleaning slivers
OF frosted white
Shines down moonlight.
Creating and weaving a path
q light and darkness
Over the trees and fields
Making them strangers in the night.
THANK THEE, OH con
For the streams and the lakes
The forests Of praying pines
a sunsets heavenly glow
And the music Of the wind.
For the innocent eyes Of children
The wisdom Of the old people
a mothers gentle sight and the
Love Of our family
For all things which Thou created
Thank Thee, Oh God.

letter. Even at this early stage, his
versatility was apparent to all.
The following fall he enrolled at
Rosary High School. He made the
varsity football team, but didn't
play enough. quarters to earn a let
ter. He won his first letter in
baseball that year, playing his old
position of catcher.
Three Letters
In his sophomore year he accom-
plished a feat almost unheard of
around Rosary by winning a letter
in each of Rosary's three major
sports-football, basketball, and
baseball, He followed much the
same procedure for the two re-
naming years., winding up with a
total of ten letters in all.
Much of Joe's spare time is de-
voted to sports. He is good bowl
er, swimmer, golfer, billiards play
er AMI can swing a wicked Racket.
He was Harbor Hills tennis champ
at fourteen.
Joe naturally has had many
thrilling moments in his four
years participation in athletics.

Harry Stuhldreher
Guest Speaker at
Dover Banquet

DOVER - Harry Stuhldreher
quarterback on the late Knute
Rockne's famed Four Horsemen,
was the guest speaker at st. JOS
eph's annual athletic banquet held
here recently.
Stuhldreher, now associated with
the us. Steel Corporation of
Pittsburgh, was the guest speaker
following recognition ceremonies
for this years Rambler athletes.
Stuhldreher was introduced by
Max Krantz, who acted as toast
master.
Prior to the presentation of
awards, the Rev. David Dressman,
oFM, esp, pastor of st. JOS
eph's Church, and Rev. Ambrose
Fruend, pastor of Sacred Heart
Church, gave brief remarks.

said, Unaffected and down-to-
earth, Joe has word for every
body"
Joe's plans for the future are not
as yet complete. He was offered
and has accepted an athletic schol-
arship from Xavier University.
There he hopes to study pharmacy.
Here we end the story of Joe.
There is little else to be said at
this point, for Joe's life is actual
ly just beginning. But he is capable
of great things. His past achieve
ments prove this. Perhaps some
day he will have another and great
er story to tell. With Gods help
and a little effort on Joe's part,
that day is bound to come.

speed and stamina. He is a blue
eyed blond who continually sports
a buzz cut. A highly conservative
dresser, Joe takes great pride in
his clothes.
His favorite pastime, aside from
sports, is reading. This, no doubt,
accounts for his having one of the
widest vocabularies in the school.
Another of his favorite pastimes is
solving puzzles, jigsaw or other
wise. He is unable to resist a chal-
lenge, regardless of the guise in
which it presents itself.
He has a quick wit and an unfail-
ing sense of humor that accounts,
in part, for his popularity. One of
his friends summed it up when he

the outcome of the game; Joe had
proved his worth again. Rosary
maintained her lead and went on to
defeat the Roundtowners, so. Lat
er, in Circleville's locker room, Joe
made his way over to the corner
where ellis sat.
"You played a real fine game"
whispered Joe. Slowly lifting his
face, Gillis answered, Thanks,
white boy. You played a good
game, too"
Joe is not slow to recognize the
good points of his fellow players.
More than once he has turned away
praise by commenting on the game
played by Fritz Ritter, Jim
Schwartz, or one of the other Cru
saders.
His teammates showed their re-
gard for him when they elected
him president Of the K Club.
Good Average
Joe's great ability is not con-
fined to sports alone. Carrying a
heavy Schedule-Latin w, chemis-
try, English ", American History,
and religion-Joe still manages to
maintain an 85 average.
He takes his chemistry seriously.
Sister, when are you going to
let me make gun POWDER" was a
question Rosary folk were growing
weary of. Finally, Sister Justa,
chemistry teacher, offered this
proposition: If Rosary defeated st.
Charles (the two schools are arch
rivals Sister would permit him to
make gunpowder. Sister, at the
time, had felt quite safe. Rosary
had not defeated st. Charles for
four years. But she had yet to reck-
on with Joe's grim determination.
On the Monday morning following
the st. Charles game, Joe arrived
at school early to receive his re-
ward. Rosary had defeated st.
Charles, and Joe, true to form, had
walked away with scoring honors.
As for the gunpowder-Sister let
him make it, but he wasn't exactly
a glowing success. There is prov
erb, however, which tells us. "Try,
try again" Joe is doing just that.
He appreciates good music and
loves to sing. His busy schedule,
however, kept him out of the Glee
Club. Last year he was pleasantly
surprised when he was asked to ap-
pear on television with the Glee
Club. He sang a solo, 30 Holy
Night" He did fine job, too, his
classmates say.
Dashing Lead
He had the lead in Rosary's op-
eretta, The FREELY. AS dashing
romantic lover, Joe admits he
would make a good football play
er. Seriously, though, he does have
good baritone voice.
Every Friday Joe joins Dick
Foley and Kenny briggs in singing
the Proper of the Mass at which the
high school students assist.
A giant among his fellow stu
dents, Joe stands g. 2" and weighs
in at 225 pounds. But for all his
size, he still possesses surprising

Reaches Final
Game Before Loss

school baseball team came within
one game of winning the North
western baseball regional tourna-
ment here last week, going down
so to Gallon after winning the
semi-final tilt, rs over Lima South.
Aquinas got off to a three-run
first inning lead against Lima and
coasted to its semi-final win.
However, seven Terrier errors
and three double plays spelled
trouble for the Columbus lads in
the nightcap of the doubleheader
title series, and the Gallon team
advanced to the state finals.

Joe is the son of Mrs. Catherine

Joe first gave hint of his ath-

Holy Rosary Grade School. He was
in the sixth grade when he tried
out for the baseball team. He held
down his position of catcher for
the next two years. When he was
in the seventh grade he made the
football team, but the following
year he was too heavy to regain
his position. (His weight, a disap-
pointing factor here, was later to
become his flying carpet to star
dom.) In the eighth grade he made
the basketball team and won his

The 81 Rosary Circleville game
provided his top thrill, however.
Three times he made the trip to
Circleville, and each time he had
returned home in defeat. In all,
Rosary had suffered ten straight
trouncings at the hands of the
Roundtowners.
In his senior year, Joe determin-
ed it would be different. Coach
Sharrock had said that to stop
Circleville meant first to stop Gil
lis, their mighty, towering center.
A silent message from coach to
player passed between them be-
fore the game. The hard, clean-cut
ellis knew not the meaning of the
word compromise. He must be bat
tered into submission. This then,
was to be a battle of courage and
endurance--"the survival of the
filter"
