Band Uniforms Arrive For Homecoming Game

The recently purchased uniforms for the Speedway High School Band were delivered last Friday morning and were distributed in time for the first of the Speedway Home-Coming Basketball Games. These beautiful blue and gold uniforms are the results of several months of very hard work on the part of a special committee headed by Mr. Groover and are very definitely a great asset to our rapidly increasing high school facilities. At the game, the band made a formal entrance into the gym and from that time until the end of the game, everything was conducted in strict military fashion. When it was time to • play, the band marched from the bleachers, where the band members had been sitting as a group, and formed in regular concert style on the stage. Mr. Northcott, resplendent in his new white uniform and very nonchallant in the midst of the excitement, led the band through several rousing marches. After their last number, the players marched from the stage and resumed their seats in the bleachers.

The new uniforms created an atmosphere of color and eagerness, the like of which probably has never been experienced-during a | ball game in the Speedway gym.! Besides the new uniforms, how-1 ever, there was another element' that played a great part in inspiring the Speedway team and that was the spirit of the first home-coming game ever to be held at Speedway. The home-coming proved to be very successful and it is probable thrft this will become an annual event hereafter. All the hpys who had earned athletic letters at Speedway were admitted free and it was certainly gratifying to see all the stars of the two previous seasons rooting so earnestly for the boys who represent our school on the hardwood court. 1 This excitement and fervor reached the highest point when the Sparkplugs come onto the floor j for their usual warm-up period. previous to the game. The game itself was a nip-and-tuck affair ahd both teams were trying usually hard to down the other. The members of both teams played a fast and clean game and the personal fouls were few and unintentional. When the smoke had cleared away, the Sparkplugs had defeated the Howe Hornets by a margin of 28 to 22. Phipps, diminutive Junior ace, led the Speedway netters with a total of 14 points. i —Robt. Alsmeyer.

SPEEDWAY MUSIC ALE ' HAS GUEST DAY The Speedway Musicale presented a program of music and readings before an assembled group of friends and guests last Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Edith Spencer. These annual guest-day programs are always well accepted and enjoyed. The guest speaker I for the afternoon was Dr. Winona Welch, who gave a talk on her European trip. ’ Dr. Welch talked of the high-lights of her trip into J eight different countries of Europe j during 1938. She told in a most, interesting way the condition of the different countries in regard to their preparation for war. She also painted in the minds of her audience pictures of beauty as she described the tulips of Holland, the narcissus of Switzerland, the lilies-1 of-the-valley of France, beautiful cathedrals, Mont Blanc, the sun-that-did-not-set of Finland, and the many other high-lights of her trip. The Musicale feels deeply indebted, to Dr. Welch for her contribution to the guest-day program. The guests present were Mesdames Don Walker, William Gaskill, William Meyers, Howard Anderson, H. C. Noffke, S. L. McCormick and William Heston. After the program, refreshments were served.

The ladies who assisted Father Lindeman were Mesdames Joseph Daley, Herbert Grande, Magdalene Devine, William Kaufman and Nora Bray. Mr. Rooney explained the C. Y. 0., its membership, purpose and activities. He said that the membership was divided into three groups—ages 8, 15 and 30 (unmarried): that the purpose of the Youth organization is to promote the spiritual and temporal welfare of the Catholic Youth through the medum of a balanced program of spiritual, cultural, physical, social and vocational activities; that this breakfast was a good example of the spiritual phase, the current Ping-Pong games the physical, a dance the social, and while the cultural and vocational phases are slower in being developed they are being planned. He explained that the Parish Priest cannot do it all by himself, nor can the Youth stand alone either, nor the Adult Directors, but that it takes all three to stand together to succeed. The last thought, and a very good one for young or old, that he left with them was, “Don’t be afraid to do something because you fear criticism, because no matter what office you hold anywhere, or whatever you do somebody is going to criticise you.” John Mann, President of the Parish C. Y. 0., Spoke a few words. Miss Verda Kaufman expressed herself, on what was to be gained by social and physical activities with other Parishes in the City. Brink said that the ham was tender, and that he had decided this morning to come to all the meetings of the C. Y. O. Mrs. Joseph Rosner, the Parent Director of the C. Y. 0., who was unable to be present at the Breakfast on account of illness, is better, and their little daughter is home from the hospital and is improving, but her mother, Mrs. Lewis Riley, is sick at their home with pneumonia.

The Girls Team have lost one and won two. Hurrah for the Girls! The Girls and Boys Teams from St. Catherine’s are coming to St. Christopher’s next Tuesday night, February 27th, to beat us they hope—The public is invited, and there is no admission charge. Couldn’t learn the exact date for the Rumage Sale, but, there is to be one in March, so lay aside anything and everything you are tired of and the ladies will contact you and pick it up. Triday, March Ist is First Friday. Confessions will be heard Thursday afternoon and evening as usual.

GOOD EVENING Everybody, everywhere. This is the “Mystery Man”—your regular weekly informer, “letting you in" on first one thing and then another, or to make it plain, just a bit of news from here, there and everywhere, more especially in Speedway. Before I go too far, I want to tell you some things I heard in Speedway recently which were most gratifying to me. These bits of conversation were picked up in a home, a grocery store, and on a Speedway Bus, last Saturday even* ing. Listen: Husband: “Hey, wifey dear, where’s my dress-up shirt?” Wife: “In the lower chest drawer, my love, why?” Husband: “It’s Los Amigos for ME tomorrow.” (In grocery) Wife: “Say hubby dear, I’m putting the dinner on to cook at seven o’clock in the morning, see?” Hubby: “Say woman, have you lost your reasoning?” Wife: “Not that you could notice Los Amigos is the REASON.” (On the bus) Nervous passenger: “Say driver, will we EVER get to Speedway tonight?” Driver: “Why, yes, brother, what’s your HURRY?” Nervous passenger: (Very apologetically) Well, you see, buddy, I gotta get home and take my bath for it’s LOS AMIGOS for- ME in the morning.” Now friends I hope that you have enjoyed hearing these little narratives as much as I have enjoyed relating them. They are just “a drop in the bucket” compared to some we hear. I tell them in the hope that you’ll plan to do something Saturday so YOU can attend Los Amigos Class SUNDAY. May I again remind you that Easter is one week closer when THIS Sunday arrives. Of course you are going to be in Sunday School and Church somewhere. Easter Sunday. Why not decide on your Community’s Church and begin your attendance THIS Sunday ? Don’t deprive yourself of the opportunity of hearing the fire lessons taught by Mr. Raquet and the fine sermons offered by Rev. Anderson at the Church service each and every Sunday. “Be Wise, Specialize with Speedway Church and Church School." I’ll be expecting YOU.
