PLAY CAGE TILT AS GYMNASIUM IS DEDICATED
St. Mary High School Quintet is Defeated by St. Norbert’s 19-13
MENASHA – The St. Mary High School basket ball team dropped a hard game, 19 to 13, to St. Norberts of De Pere in St. Mary gymnasium Sunday afternoon. The game was the feature attraction at the formal dedication of the new St. Mary gymnasium.
The Menasha All-Stars, led by Edward Godhardt, center, swamped the United Cigar company cagers of Appleton, 42 to 23 in the preliminary attraction. Godhardt scored 11 field goals for Menasha.
“The dedication of the gymnasium marks a definite event in the life of the Fox River Valley high school conference by providing the last school in need of a gymnasium with suitable physical education facilities,” the Rev. Anselm Keofe, rector of St. Norberts and president of the league said in the dedicatory address prior to the high school cage tilt.
“The organization of the Catholic high school league has provided the missing factor in Catholic school activities. Although the league has been in existence little more than a year, much of the unevenness already has been eliminated and with cooperation from all the schools in the Green Bay diocese, it should become a marked success.”

And a note to those of us thinking, St. Norbert's is a college, not a high school....
From its humble beginnings of tutoring students in the rectory kitchen of St. Joseph Parish in De Pere, the Norbertine religious order eventually developed a formal classical high school curriculum with both day and boarding students. St. Norbert High School was founded in 1898 as the first educational program established by the Norbertines in the US. The school began with just four registered students and their teacher, Abbot Bernard Pennings. St. Norbert High School and St. Norbert College coexisted on the same campus until 1959, in what is today Boyle Hall.
In 1959, the location and name of the school changed. St. Norbert High School, whose enrollment had grown to 180 students, moved to a larger facility and was renamed Abbot Pennings High School.
Now I remember that tilt is a name for laying a game or having a competition. I forgot that word but it was used sometimes in my younger days.
ReplyDeleteThe railroad tie retaining wall cost depends on a few factors, such as the size of the wall, the number of ties needed, the type of ties used, and the labor cost. On average, a standard 8-foot railroad tie retainer wall will cost approximately $10-$15 per square foot, depending on the factors mentioned.
