Saves Two Lives; Receives Hero ' s Award Joseph Leeuw, freshman in H.R. 105, examines the life-sav- ing award he received for res- cuing two men. Very few people ever get the opportunity to save somebody ' s life, and a person who has saved two lives is an even greater rar- ity. There ' s one of these greater rarities at CC this year. He ' s freshman Joseph Leeuw, 105. During the past year Joe has rescued two people by his quick thinking and his decisive action in a moment of peril. Joe made his first rescue last winter when he pulled a com- Music Dept. Elects Officers New officers have been elected in all the organizations of the Central Catholic Music Depart- ment.

He and two other boys had been sledding when suddenly one of the sleds shot out on the pond and broke through the thin layer of ice that covered it. Joe crawled out on the ice and pulled the boy back to safety. The Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce presented Joe with a life saving award for this res- cue. The second rescue was made this summer at Crooked Lake. Joe and a Fort Wayne neighbor, Mr. E m m e 1 1 Pressler, were swimming and diving from a boat anchored in the lake. Mr. Pressler dived from the boat and didn ' t come up. Joe waited. He realized that Mr. Pressler had been gone for quite awhile and he dived in after him. He found Mr. Pressler unconscious in about 15 feet of water. Joe pulled Mr. Pressler to the sur- face, and dragged him to the shore, about 150 feet away. A Columbia City ambulance crew re -ived Mr. Pressler. A modest, quiet individual, Joe does not attribute the res- cues to any special factor.

Former C C Returns As By Lynda Brandt A former graduate of Central Catholic, Sister Mary Fabian, SP, has stated that she enjoys being back at CC very much. It is so different to be here as a teacher instead of a student. There is so much school spirit now. I was very impressed by the enthusiasm at the pep ses- sions. The students will be cheering one minute and sud- denly there is a hush for the Memorare. That is real school spirit, she remarked. When Sister attended CC the fourth floor had not been built and the enrollment was consider- ably less. The boys were taught by the brothers and the girls by the sisters. They had a year- Grad Teacher book, and the SHAMROCK was just a mimeographed piece of paper. Sister Mary Fabian was so sure about her vocation that at graduation, when literature on marriage was being passed out, she said, Oh, don ' t give me any ' cause I won ' t need it. Bishop Noll had heard that she was planning to enter the religious life and when she knelt down to receive her di- ploma he asked her about it. She said that she was so sur- prised that she didn ' t know what to do. Sister Mary Fabian, whose homeroom is 205, teaches fresh- man Latin, English, and Re- ligion. Senior Football King To Be Crowned Nov. 3 The 1962 Football dance, will be Saturday, Nov. 3. The dance will honor CC ' s senior grid players, who are Phil Charais, Tom Hueber, Tom Walsh, Mike Mowan, Phil Wyss, Bill Krouse, Jerry Sitko, John Talerico, Larry Rod- rigruez, Dick Zehner, Chuck Schrimper, Dave Pettit, Bob Gaff, and Paul Boedeker. One of these Fighting Irish will be crowned the 1962 Football King. All students may vote for the new king. Committees for the dance are composed of members of the String Orchestra, who sponsors the affair. 22
