About this Item
A small archive of clippings from the Richmond newspaper about various sporting events in which Benedictine High School was engaged in 1945. The clippings are mounted on brown pasteboard and we surmise that the uniform pieces of pasteboard orginated at a local dry-cleaners and that shirts were delivered folded around them! ~The top sheet (which we perhaps arbitrarily made the first sheet) has a home made label on which is penned "Football B.H.S. 1945" and pasted on it is program "Honoring Benedictine High School Football Team" of 1945. ~~There are a few clippings regarding Football, but most appear to be about Basketball. Benedictine played a number of Virginia High Schools -- Thomas Jefferson, Belmont Abbey, St. Christopher's , Fork Union, and many others. There are also some college clippings, including University of Richmond and University of Virginia.~~The archive was kept by Richmonder Chris Rubis, who has a clipping with photgraph noting that he was "the lightest player in city varsity schoolboy basketball" standing 5'5" and tipping the scales at 115 pounds. Young Rubis also played football and is listed in the 1945 football awards program.~~On the back of one pasteboard are penned a number of arithmetic sums, undoubtedly by Chris Rubis.~~A really charming archive of clippings about Richmond's Benedictine High School.
