ROGRESS Ill ADMINISTRATION Archbishop Visits June 9tl1 Commencement, Receives Spiritual Bouquets From Students On Golden Jubilee By CHUCK MAGISTRO When Bishop Hoban addressed the graduating class on June 9, many Seniors were again reminded of the sacrifice the Bishop has made for Catholic Education. We have seen his progressive ideas come to life under the direction of our beloved Pastor. His insistance on the best in education is borne out by an expanded school program, a new stadium, and a re- modeled home economics department. His progressiveness has changed our school HIS GRACE, ARCHBISHOP EDWARD F. HOBAN, Bishop of Cleveland, through whose ef- forts St. Mary's has been established as a Cen- tral school for Akron. from a small parish school to a liourishing Central High. His progressiveness was anticipated in the many interesting events of his life. After his ordination to the priesthood in 1903, he was ritmed Chancellor of Chica- go, the city of his birth. Another promo- tion came when he was made Domestic Prelateg in 1921 he was consecrated Aux- iliary Bishop of Chicago, and in 1937 ap- pointed Bishop of Rockford, Illinois. Upon the death of Archbishop Joseph Schrembs in 1945, Bishop Hoban succeeded to the Cleveland See. Just two years ago he was appointed to the rank of Archbishop by Pope Pius XII. During his work as Bishop of Cleve- land he was stressed culture and Christian Education. Saint Mary's is an outstanding example of this growth. Your Grace . . . ON YOUR GOLDEN .IUBILEE Through the years you have always thought of us. Now on the Golden Jubilee of Your priesthood, we wish to thank You for Your tremendous contributions to reli- gious education, and Your expansion of Catholic facilities, to name only a few while You have been our bishop-a new retreat house, additions to numerous schools and hospitals throughout the diocese, churches and institutions. Yours has always been the pressing care of Christ's church fulfilling the words of St. Paul to be a pattern to your flock -bringing them closer to God. We congratulate You on Your Jubilee and pray that God may give You many years to carry on this program of education in our diocese and grant You the light and strength for the many duties yet to come, to be always pastor to the flock entrusted to you!

PASTOR CELEBRATES ORDIHATIOH Fr. Price Aids Yearbook As StuHPhotogrupl1er. Students Honor Colonel 0nFortietl1'Anniversury. By JOSEPH SAFKO On May 17 our beloved pastor cele- brated the fortieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. These forty years have been heralded by an unselfish devotion to the saving of the souls that God has placed in his care. Much of Father's time was spent in the armed forces after which he came directly to St. Mary's. The Colonel brought with him many progressive ideas which have in six short years served to modernize our school program. Through his insistance we are now proudly accredited as a North Central School Our cur11cular activities have been extended and expanded considerably We now have a fully equipped cafeteria a com plete art room and the finest football field in Ohio Several more classrooms includ ing a new business department were com pleted at the beginning of this school year Before Father Price came to us we had only a meager sports program nor could we claim a newspaper or yearbook Now sports are a vital part of our school life we even have a wrestling team Our news paper The Crusader IS a publication of which to be proud as for the yearbook you can see the product We of the Bluebook staff have always known Father as a keen wltted friend His when our spirits were low from mental fatigue or anxiety He d often V1S1t us while we were working 1n the art room Jokmg about the girls hairdos or commenting on the fine Job the stai was doing But he has been more than Just a per sonal friend For two years he has taken and developed almost every picture which appears in out yearbook We doubt that anyone has spent more time or effort toward the success of the Bluebook Everyone in school has at one time or another been the object of his camera whether it be in class pictures or informal shots of dances Without his contr1but1ons REV FR JOHN J PRICE Administrator of school for past seven years has undertaken posi tion of Photographer for the Bluebook and encouragement our yearbook would never be realized. n The Colonel's many interesting ex- periences and hobbies are to a great extent responsible for the perennial usefulness of his personality. The days when he worked for his dad as a waterboyg the t1me when he was a railroad employee - all these pleasant memories remain from the time when he and his father were pals. It is with great joy and gratitude that we, the students of St. lVIary's, raise our voices in hearty congratulation on your fortieth anniversary PASTOR, SCHOOL HEAD . . , - A I . .
