Bishop Grutka Bishop Andrew G. Grutka of the Diocese of Gary was born in Joliet, Illinois in 1908. He received his early education there, afterward spending considerable time at work in the local steel mills. He later en¬ tered Saint Procopius Seminary in Lisle, Illinois with a desire to enter the priest¬ hood . He completed his studies at the North American College in Rome, and was ordained there on December 5, 1933. His consecration in February of 1957 also marked the birth of the Gary Diocese. He has, since that time, wholeheartedly de¬ voted himself to insuring its growth and prosperity. The first years of his reign have been marked by a fillial affection and active interest in the youth of the diocese. Among the visible signs of this devotion and interest is Camp Lawrence, established with the co-operation of diocesan groups for the summer occupation and recreation of the boys and girls of the diocese. A further example is the recently completed Andrean High School, built in an effort to satisfy the desire for education on the part of the youth of the diocese. Proposed plans, however, for the expansion and development of Bishop Noll High School, constitute the greatest of his Excellency ' s many contributions to date. Although Bishop Grutka has, in less than five years as head of the Diocese of Gary, been able to provide more than adequately for the material needs of his people, in the manner of schools and the like, it is rather the soundness and sincerity of his spiritual leadership which has endeared him to both young and old alike.

Bishop Noll The late John F. Noll, D.D., Archbishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne and bene¬ factor of this school, was born in Fort Wayne in 1 875. He was educated at Saint Lawrence College and was ordained in 1898. He received his L.L.D. from Notre Dame in 1917 and was consecrated Bishop of Fort Wayne in 1925. Among the many dutiful organs of the diocese which he originated were the Legion of Decency, The National Organization of Decent Literature, and the Our Sunday Visitor. The Our Sunday Visitor, a Catholic weekly not only in this diocese but in many throughout the country, was started humbly in 1912 at Huntington, its present center. For this and other contributions to the Catholic Press of the country he was nick¬ named the printing-press Bishop.” The late Archbishop proved instrumental in the founding of Catholic Central High School when, invisioning the future which this area held and, at the same time, real¬ izing its need, he purchased the land at the present site of the school. It was also through his financial assistance that an eighteen room addition was erected in 1947. His death on July 31, 1956, terminated a life dutifully spent in the cause of Chris¬ tian ideals. We, the students of Bishop Noll High School, are only a few of the recip¬ ients of the aid and affection which he lavished on the youth of the diocese. Now as Bishop Noll High School is about to enter into a new phase of development, we must remember that without the foresight and vision of this man, our school could not attain the height to which it now reaches.
