That reconstruc- tion has fallen into the hands of men who had forgotten the words of Christ, Without Me you can do nothing. The world can and should be rebuilt by active Christians who can rear the new order on a strong foundation, that is Christ, the Divine Carpenter of the universe. If Christians are to do this they must be lead- ers. During the four years at Saint Casimir High School, our teachers put into our hands the Christian pointers of natural and supernatural aids that enabled us to develop leadership with Christlike personalities . The traits that accent the Character of a leader may be easily detected in the life of St. Casimir, patron of youth. Thus, under the protection of this Saint and the guidance of our Spiritual directors and teach- ers, we are prepared to be Christlike leaders working for God and our country. Hence, as you thumb through this yearbook you will note how we strived to develop this Christlike leadership to make ourselves strong builders of the world and Masters of Life. SISTER M . SISTER M .

A tall, exper- ienced All Saints quintet handed them their second loss 58 to 33. Having suffered two defeats, the Crescents finally snapped out of it and disposed of St. J osephat 36-34. That victory was soon for- gotten as Sweetest Heart dicisioned the home team 48-43. Having completed the first half of their schedule, the boys started the second round off right with a second victory over St. Annes 48-42. St. Cyril was the victim of the Crescents second straight win, as they avenged their early season loss to the Sharks. All Saints proved too classy in handing the Crescents their second de- feat. St. J osephat's ten pulled the surprise of the season by clip- ping the Crescents wings 38-34 in a handfought battle on the Joe's home court. Sweetest Heart took their second of the season from St. Casimir 61-48 to end the regular season on a sour note. The State tournament was next on the list for the spirited Cres- cents and they drew their season-long jinx Sweetest Heart as their first round opponent. The boys practiced hard for this one, but came out on the short end of a 45-44 score in a heartbreaker. This ended the Crescent basketball season. w; CONNIE Satch BAZNER GEORGE Man Mountain MAKARA Agreat team player was our Satch- Al- George was a good defensive man and St though HOT 21 high scorer, his pomts came always worried the opposition with his set r when needed most. shots. :4 gnior vans itg RIC HARD Rick KOLNITYS Rick was a star defensive play- er and a constant threat on offen- sive with his danger hook shots .

I .: That 1880 headset, though, was a good piece of ' equipment-the best of its day. But with its box-like ,, transmitter and leather harness, it couldnEt, by any stretch F s of the imagination, be called comfortable. ; 3 Today, of course, it's a different story. The telephone ; operator now wears a streamlined headset that weighs only nine ounces-93 ounces less than the 1880 I'nodel. It fits her like a new spring bonnet and makes her job .f as the EEVoice with a Smile?9 easier than ever before. i , '9 And speaking of jobs, if you,re graduating this year, E t 9 and are looking for an interesting, important job, F . ?7 Michigan Bell may have one for you.
