Jesuit High School, founded 1847 |
Bob Moulin very kindly contributed the images and info below on the class of '48. The class of 1948 made its own contributions to New Orleans and America, filled, as it was, with worthy young men, many of whom would, in time, become noteworthy in their chosen professions. |
Bob supplied a 1946 New Orleans newspaper article, which I have transcribed below. In Prep Sports by N. Charles Wicker Jesuit goes after the Crescent City's seventh straight regional championship and the 14th title in the past 18 years next week when they compete in the regionals at Hattiesburg. The tourney finds the Jays seeking their third straight which, if captured, will be a record for a Crescent City team. No one sponsor has had a team to capture more than two straight. Jesuit, Little Rock and the Zatarains have won the regional crown two successive years. Past regional champions follow: 1928.......Ada, Okla. 1929.......White Sox, New Orleans 1930.......Sizzelers, New Orleans 1931.......Jesuit, New Orleans 1932.......Zatarain Papoose, New Orleans 1933.......Little Rock, Ark. 1934.......Jesuit, New Orleans 1935.......Tulsa, Okla. 1936.......Jesuit, New Orleans 1937.......Zatarain Papoose, New Orleans 1938.......Zatarain Papoose, New Orleans 1939.......Little Rock, Ark. 1940.......Little Rock, Ark. 1941.......Holy Cross, New Orleans 1942.......Jesuit, New Orleans 1943.......St. Aloysius, New Orleans 1944.......Holy Cross, New Orleans 1945.......Jesuit, New Orleans 1946.......Jesuit, New Orleans All games in the regionals will be played in the afternoon, according to Coach Eddie Toribio, who was in Hattiesburg Friday to see the state playoff and who is expected to attend the Arkansas finals this afternoon in Little Rock. Austin defeated St. Thomas of Houston in two extra-inning games to defeat the lads for the Texas playoff. ______________ New Orleans will be able to send its kid champions to various cities and towns to compete in championship and inter-city games very soon, we understand the city's department of recreation will have its own bus. It's a pity the bus, which is expected to arrive next week, could not have come earlier. It would have saved lots of headaches for those seeking accommodations to send the VFW softball teams to the national tournament. ______________ Dick Sallinger of the Aloysius Crusaders and Frank Rapp of the Redemptorist Rams are planning to attend a St. Louis Cardinal "school" this week, at Laurel, Miss. ______________ There has been quite a bit of discussion regarding the increase in the price of admission to the prep football games. There have been several arguments -- one in particular -- which seems very sound, in that the public is raised much greater than the schools. |
