V , DIDU Q1 s I HQBA IVITIES In 1945, the restoration to life of the HATCHET. CEven then as sophomores, Going On Seventeen and two casts presented it on March 13 and History of the Class of 1948 Now that the end is near, we begin to feel the loss in our hearts: of our good times, our noon mixers, our classes, our studies, our teachers, our proms, our whole school life. As we look back farther and farther, we find it wasn't so bad after all. ln fact, why not say it: We loved it! As we look back we remember especially such things as these: we had Emily Schultz, Nancy Scheu, Frieda Kurczewski, Frances Boyer, and Dick Snyder hard at work on it. Indeed the sophomores are to be chietiy credited with its restorationl . . . On November 3. the Northern Indiana Instrumental and Vocal Music Clinic, with Lucy Wlodarek, Evelyn Leopold, Ed Magiera, Marshall Phillips, and Everett Austin taking part . . . The grand turnout of sophomores to participate in school activities: twelve in football, fourteen in basketball, twenty in band, and seventeen in glee club. Monopolizing, weren't we? We remember that fall the HATCHET awarded Big Red Apples to Frances Boyer and Pat Wozniak for selling the most advertisingy that Nancy Scheu and Kathleen Jacobsen started their great careers as cheerleaders. That April, on the 23 and 24, came the operetta The Gondoliers, in which Evelyn Leopold played the part of Casilda, daughter of the Duchess of Plaza-Toro, and Bob Robertson, Everett Austin, and Dick Benninghoff took the parts of Venetian gondoliers. During the same month, Frances Boyer, Louise Nowak, Mary Ann Bencsics, Ed Magiera, Dolores Van Wynsberghe, and Frank Vander Hagen enioyed the Band Clinic at Adams. They still recall it easily. Also in that April our green track team broke LakeviIle's broad iump record, Ted Piechocki leaping 19 feet, 6M inches to do it. And the Girls' Ushers Club selected nine of us as members: Doris Bennitt, Shirley Houk, Louise Nowak, Arlene Phillips, Emily Schultz, Rosalie Szabo, Johanna Weiss, Lucy Wlodarek, and Gloria Wroblewski. In May the Student Council selected one of our number to serve as president for the coming year. Adeline Ciesiolka was the soph so honored. In that same month, Washington held its first Honors Day Assembly, to honor those students who had distinguished themselves either as students or as citizens. Twenty-one of our number were on the honor roll for scholarship, Dolores Van Wynsberghe was awarded the Berg Medal for outstanding work in the bandy William Hauguel, Dolores Lewandowski, Louise Nowak, and Nancy Scheu received Latin Awards. Numerous members were recognized for their service as members of the HATCHET Staff. In the evening of Honors Day, Frieda Kurczewski and Leonard Mixtccki reigned as Madame Star and Mr. Moon at the sophomore spring dance, called none other than the Blue Sky Jive. Did we have fun? I'lI say we did! On September 26, as iuniors, we chose our class officers. Chet Dlugosz was elected president, Dick Snyder, vice-president, Ray Ewald, secretary, Lorraine Cham- berlain, treasurer, and William Hauguel, historian. ln October the iunior cabinet was selected. The members were Phil Kulczak, Sherry Arpasi, Loretta Zmudzinski, Doiores Lewandowski, and Nancy Scheu. That fall the presidency of the Boys' Glee Club fell to Richard Benninghoff. In November the Class of 1946 presented to the school, at a Memorial Service, a tablet bearing the names of the Boys of Washington who had died in the war. On December 20, occurred the annual Christmas play, with many members of the class and the full glee club in the cast. That December saw Loretta Zmudzinski make her debut in the world. On February 6 it was announced that our class would be given of presenting a funior play, the first iunior class to do so. The play cheerleading the privilege selected was 14. Members were Marie Miller and Doreen Sokol CElsaJ7 Ray Skarbek and Marion Pilarski fBuddyJp Emily Schultz and Adeline Ciesiolka fMrs. Carhartlp Frieda Kurczewski and Margaret Staszewski CFIorenceJp George Tschida and Ray Ewold lCraigJ, Erwin Wierzbinski and Richard Miller CTomJp Gus Kohler fShrimpieDp Fred Polonka and John Sinka lPauIlp Pot Dudeck and Theresa Deguc Uoanlg Lorraine Chamberlain and Nancy Scheu lLillumsJ5 William Hauguel lMr. Carhartlg Betty Janicki, Janet Bartkowiak, Johanna Weiss, Rosmarie Bykowski, Loretta Zmudzinski, and Rosalie Szabo lHelen, Doris, and Agnesl. The play was a distinct success. Following it, members of the cast, the stage crew and the ushers enjoyed a dance in the gym. In April the Graduation Ring Committee was chosen. Members were Chet Dlugosz, Dick Snyder, Loretta Zmudzinski, and Nancy Scheu. Orders were taken in May and the rings were waiting for us when we came back to school in September. In May a spring musicale was presented by the glee clubs instead of an operetta. The theme was Better Human Relationships Through Music. Many of our class participated. On May 8, the class entertained the seniors at a tea dance in the library. Miss Palmer assisted us with the refreshments. On May 16 came the Second Annual Honors Day. Many members of the class were recognized for service to the school and these juniors were named members of the National Honor Society: Rosemarie Bykowski, Adeline Ciesiolka, Theresa Deguc, Chester Dlugosz, William Hauguel, John Lawecki, Evelyn Leopold, Dolores Lewandowski, Jane Mikolaiczak, Leonard Mixtacki, Marion Pilarski, Norbert Rzep- nicki, Nancy Lee Scheu, Emily Schultz, Margaret Staszewski, Dolores Van Wynsberghe, and Loretta Zmudzinski. Then came the last September - we were seniors! When we returned, we found our senior rings awaiting us. We were the first class privileged to wear them so soon in the year. We found too that we had temporarily lost our music director, for Miss Chapman was convalescing at her mother's home from a broken ankle. Our first interest was the senior play and on September 'l'l, Miss Fortin anounced that it would be The Song of Bernadette. On October 2 the casts were announced. Members were Pat Dudeck and Nancy Scheu lBernadetteD, Margaret Staszewski, Lorraine Chamberlain, Frieda Zalas, Richard Miller, Marion Pilarski, Sherry Arpasi, Clarence Filipski, Frances Boyer, Louise Nowak, Erwin Wierzbinski, Ray Ewald, Richard Snyder, Rosalie Szabo, Janet Bartkowiak, Theresa Deguc, Jane Mikolaiczak, Evelyn Leopold, Arlene Philiips, Betty Janicki, George Tschida, Emily Schultz, William Hauguel, Doreen Sokol, Leona Kush, Chet Dlugosz, Ray Skarbek, Dick Kazmierzak, Adeline Ciesiolka, Geraldine Martynowicz, and Marie Miller. Our second interest was the yearbook. On September 15 the senior cabinet named an executive committee of five: William Hauguel, Loretta Zmudzinski, Leona Kush, Marion Pilarski, and Mary Ann Benesics. With the assistance of Miss Kuhn and Evelyn Leopold and Dick Snyder of the art classes, the committee went to work at once to plan what they hope is the best yearbook ever put out at Washington. The senior election was held on October 5. Richard Miller was selected as presi- dentg Chester Dlugosz, vice-president, Marion Pilarski, secretary, Ray Ewald, treasurer, and Shirley Houk, historian. Members of the cabinet selected were Nancy Scheu, Gus Kohler, Margaret Staszewski. On September 23 Miller was also selected as iunior Rotarian. Richard Orlowski was selected as senior representative on the Junior T. B. Board. On October 'IO came the first Panther-Riley Round-up, sponsored by the student councils of the two schools. Parades of class floats from each school moved to Walker Field, where the school queens were crowned. Frieda Kurczewski was the Washington Queen and members of her court were Patricia Dudeck, Dolores Lisek, Jane Mikolaiczak, Helen Rininger, Alice Szymczak, and Frieda Zalas. The Panda Club at its first meeting chose Marie Miller president, Johanna Weiss vice-president, Janet Bartkowiak secretary, Louise Nowak treasurer. Home room representatives selected were Arlene Phillips, Loretta Zmudzinski, Delphine Chrzan, and Leona Kush. On November 27, by vote of the class and the faculty, Emily Schultz was selected as Washington's candidate for the D.A.R. Pilgrimage Award. December 6 came, and everyone was whispering, talking, and even shouting about the All-School City Prom. It was held at the Indiana Club with Mickey lsley's Orchestra playing. Everyone had a wonderful time and all hated to remember that we had only one more prom left. On January 12 came tryouts for The Firefly and our class provided much talent. Members taking leading parts were Evelyn Leopold, Shirley Houk, and Bob Kalka. Others were members of the stage crew, the chorus, the production staff. The performance was by far the outstanding musical event of the school's history. All winter long we enioyed the noon league basketball games. How could we forget the Tris Kaideskaphobias, the All Stars, the Hawkeyes, the Minute Men, the Blue Jeans, the Jokers, Bruno's Boys, and the Crystal Gazers. Even if we don't remember who won the games, we surely will remember that they were played. Suddenly it was Easter. Then spring vacation was over and we had begun the last lap. The yearbook went to press, Scholastic averages were figured and gradu- ating honors announced. Emily Schultz, with a 4-point overage, a record never before- achieved, was named class valedictorianp John Lawecki, with a 3.966 average, became salutatorian. Twenty-nine members of the class, having earned a 3-point average, were awarded honorable mention in scholarship. Now the last days have arrived. Class Day and Graduation are here. The Class. of T948 are now regretfully the newest members of the alumni of Washington High. --IZOIZ- WASHINGTON EVER GLORIOUS Washington to thee we sing, Praised be thy name! Grant to us leadership, true worth Our aim. Ours is the spirit strong, Our hearts with love aflumeg All honor to thee we bring, Fair Washington! May we with courage strong, Each year renew Our faith in that freedom Our forefathers knew. Loud let our anthem ring, And shouts with glad acclaim: All honor, Oh, Washington, To thy fair name! The Prophecy It is one of those lovely spring days on which even the ambitious can be struck by spring fever. Spring is early this year I958. Many people are enioying the sun- shine, but not the brains of Washington, better known as Emily Schultz and John Lawecki. They are in the South Bend Library, where they casually meet. In the silence of the room there can be heard slight whispers as they turn the pages of an album of old newspapers they have been reading. As the voices grew louder, Adeline Ciesiolka, head librarian overhears the conversation. KATHLEEN JACOBSEN and PATRICIA ROBAKOWSKI are here in an ad as Powers models, posing for Pepsodent Tooth Paste. ' Yes, and here's JOHN PLONSKI'S picture as the Man of Distinction. I hear he's testing baby nipples. Have you read the want ads? RICHARD ANDRYSIAK is advertising for help in his pop-corn stand at Santa Anita. He has more customers since JOHANNA WEISS has been giving inside information. It seems she now talks horse language . . . Here in Jimmy Fiddler's column, I see JOHN LESZCYNSKI is the leading talent scout at M.G.M. Studio. His latest discovery is BETTY LOU JANICKI . . . Turkeys 70: ci pound! I think they're from TED PIECHOCKl'S farm. Everybody's say- ing he got his inspiration in high school. I see in the society column that LORETTA BOROWSKI, assisted by JANE MIKOLAJCZAK, who have been teaching college algebra, trigonometry and calculus at Indiana University, are home for a well earned one week vacation . . . By the looks of things here on the editorial page, MACY WILKINS has done what every author would like to do! She has won the Nobel Literary Prize. Her latest work is 'The Big Wolf and Red Riding Hood' . . . The 'Fee Fie Foo Fum Meat Market' is run by HENRY TABERSKl'S four boys, Fee, Fie, Foo, and Fum, who receive daily instruc- tions on the Finer Arts of Butchering from Henry. Headlines from the sport page: PHILLIPS KAYOES WOODARD AT ARMORY. ARLENE PHILLIPS knocked out the one and only heavyweight champion of the world, SIM WOODARD during the second round of their bout . . . A riot was started by GEORGE TARR as Sim was being carried to his dressing room. It seems he snapped his bubble gum too loudly and was thrown out by DOLORES JOZWIAK, GERALDINE ARPASI, and DORIS BENNITT, the new bouncers . . . I have drawn the conclusion from the Domestic Section that RUPERT BIDDLE, the multi-millionaire, is financing the Parsons' Business School near Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is headed by MARY PARSONS, assisted by PAT DUDEK. Emily says, I was visiting Washington High recently and discovered that LORETTA ZMUDZINSKI is the chief cook and bottle washer in the cafeteria. She said that DELPHINE CHRZAN has opened her beauty parlor, 'The Make-up Shoppe' and has ALEX BURKUS demonstrating his method of how to beautify and preserve dimples . . . On my way to the library today, I saw three accomplished artists that are good friends cf ours. They were painting STOP signs. ROGER DE CLERCQ was holding the paint can, while RICHARD SNYDER dropped the brushes in so RITA BOROWSKI could paint the letters. Have you ever noticed how many mistakes they make in the Tribune? There's an article about NICK BADOWSKI, who is operating South Bend's leading bakery and has iust engaged DOREEN SOKOL and LORRAINE GOTOWKA, two leading detectives, to find his missing dough IDOUGHD. Besides that, they had PAT WOZNIAK, M.D., called on a special case to the Interstate Glass Company where a window had a pain. l see EVELYN LEOPOLD is at the Lyric Theater, owned by RICHARD ORLOW- SKI and MELVIN KLOSOWSKI, in the Western Avenue stage hit entitled 'Who ls the Prettiest Girl Since Mother's Day and Why Am I?' SHIRLEY 'Irresistible' HOUK is her understudy. See her? No, I didn't go. I went to hear JEROME GORALCZYK, EUGENE MANUSZAK, RICHARD MANTEI, and PHILIP KULSZAK, the National Champion Quartet, which was at the Palace. They sang the latest hit, 'I'II See You in the Spring, if I Can Get Through the Mattress.' On the same program, filling in, were RICHARD and MARIE MILLER, who are comedians, relating their past experiences, and CLARENCE FILIPSKI, the Frank Sinatra of today. Speaking of singers, the AUSTIN boys have made good. I see EVERETT is a singer with Cab Calloway and WILLIAM is his manager . . . EDMUND MAGIERA, who has been coached by LORRAINE CHAMBERLAIN, has finally enough talent to play for the square dances at which RITA ARNDT is the sole calIer. The room gets quieter and as Adeline stretches her neck to hear more of the conversation, the stool slips and she falls to the floor. Having noticed the accident, John thinks it would be courteous to invite her over. Adeline adds: RAYMOND EWALD finally convinced Miss Martindale that he was capable of taking her place and has moved into Room l23. And ADELINE RUSKOWSKI was so inspired by Mr. Robinson's teaching that she decided to follow in his footsteps and is now teaching social living at Washington High . . . BILL HAUGUEL thinks he is nothing but the best and is o professor at Vassar and is so interested in being a good professor that he offers special classes for girls only. FRIEDA ZALAS is first in line for help. GUS KOHLER, mayor of Crumstown, has hired MARION PILARSKI, head of the F.B.l. lFire Bug lnspectionj, who did such a wonderful job last year catching Fearless Fosdick, who went mad chasing chairs and also convinced lawyer FRANK VANDER HAGEN that ROSEMARY BYKOWSKI and BETTY LOU JANICKI are innocent of the charge of slander made in 1748 while writing the Washington prophecy. John adds, ' SaIes-on-Fire Circus' is passing through town with quite a few of our school chums included. ERVIN KACZYNSKI is the circus barker and is kept up on news through NANCY SCHEU'S newspaper, 'Mine Aren't.' JANET 'Muscles' BAR- KOWIAK is first on the show as one of the best women wrestlers: in fact, she is so good, her husband never talks back . . . Look! Here's ED VAN RASSEN'S picture. He has put in ten years of faithful service cs a mail carrier and is teaching his nine MOOSE juniors, who follow him faithfully each day. I heard he found BEN SOBECKI a job dusting test tubes at the South Bend Medical Lab. He learned his trade from Miss Murphy . . . This says, ALICE SZYMCZYK and THERESA DEGUC, both happily married, are sueing HELEN RININGER on a charge of disturbing the peace. People shouldn't entertain their children in a jeep, especially four of them. Emily remarks, Alice and Theresa may think they have troubles, but pity the poor neighbors of DELORES LEWANDOWSKI, who just recently presented her hus' band with quintuplets . . . I see by this ad that ERVIN WROBLEWSKI and HARRY HOMELESKI have finally succeeded in opening a used-car business. Harry buys old cars and Ervin repairs them. They seem to be supporting ART STRZELECKI, who is running for president and has MIKE FARKAS as his campaign manager, using the slogan, 'Let's Abolish the New Look and Go Back to the Old' plastered inside and out of their cars. I think he will at least get the men's vote. The new program, on the A.B.C. network CAlways Beautiful Cropt, 'The Woman on the Street or Traftic CoIIision,' with FRIEDA KURCZEWSKI as announcer and ALEXANDER HEYWOOD, MARSHALL PHILIP as bus boys interviewed PAT HOLEW- CZNSKI and DOROTHY ROMANOWSKI, who have just opened a new Penny and Nickel store in place of Kresge's which they burned. Theyy have DICK BENNING- HOFF demonstrating how to melt any vegetable shortening and use it as a hair tonic. JOE SZABO rudely interrupted the program to collect money owing for the HATCHET from students 'way back in 1948. Her program, which is 15 minutes long, is divided so that she has ten minutes to advertise for the Indiana Theatre and the Home Lunch, proprietors, JOHN VUKOVITS, GENE ANDERT, and JOHN PAKSI. Following her program is RAYMOND SKARBEK'S debating hour, then Spike Jones and his City Slickers, featuring LOUISE NOWAK, who has just signed a long term contract to warble with his band. John asks, Have you ever heard anything about ERVIN WlERZBINSKl? Yes, he has just invented a new type of flying contraption, wingless, tailless, and motorless. A 'Flying Seat.' In the same lab, GENE BREKRUS is still figuring on the mathematical problem, How Far ls Up? His secretary is none other than our one and only LEONARD MIXTACKI. On the side, Leonard is writing articles for the HATCHET on 'How to Entertain the Chemistry Class While the Teacher's Away or While the Cat's Away the Mice Will Play' . . . Speaking of success stories, here's a picture of JOAN GUZOWSKI, PAT DAURER, and MARY TOMASZEWSKI, who are representing America at the International Olympic contests. Joan is competing in the bubbfe gum division, Mary in the Yo-Yo division, and Pot in the squirt gun division. Here's another picture of 'The World's Number One Hunter,' CLIFFORD MILEW- SKI. It says he has captured every animal in and outside of civilization, but those little pink elephants and green bats which come out of little holes in the walls every night . . . DOROTHY BANICKI is giving GLORIA KRUSZEWSKI quite a bit of competition in the nationwide contest entitled 'Women Are Still the Weaker Sex' . . . LEONA KUSH and GEORGE TSCHIDA have finally succeeded in becoming co- owners of Kush 8. Tschida's Dry Goods. It is the former Robertson's Basement. Their slogan is, 'Anything That's Dry We've Got' . . . CHET DLUGOSZ, who is president of the DLUGOSZ BRUSH COMPANY, has a hard time trying to convince people that any resemblance between his product and his hair is purely coincidental . . . JOHN SINKA is now building steamships. The slogan for his company is 'Sinka Builds Ships That Flota.' MARGARET STASZEWSKI is his secretary. DELORES LISEK has just written a sequel to 'Gone With the Wind.' The title of her book is 'Left With the Breeze' . . . MARTHA MILLS is trying to write a book entitled 'How to Snare a Man That Doesn't Drink, Smoke, or Exist! Emily, who is star reporter for the New York Times, then lost her dignity when she hollered, Look out the window! There's RICHARD 'Squirrel' KAZMIERCZAK, looking for some nuts for food! ROSALIE SZABO is an old maid, due to her 05-and-on engagements to several different boys, I hear. And GEORGE BONCZYNSKI, living on a farm, comes into Washington High School to teach track to his five sons every day . . . SYLVESTER GERSHOFFER got married and took his wife's name 'for better or for worse' . . . DOROTHY PINGLE is living on a farm near Niles, raising pigs. ALEX HOWARD is also busy taking care of his family . . . ERVIN RYBICKI and NORBERT RZEPNICKI are models for Saxton's Fifth Avenue. Also modeling is FRANCES BOYER, GERALDINE MARTYNOWICZ is her fitter. DELORES VAN WYNSBERGHE plays 'Pizzicata Polka as ERVIN, FRANCES, and NORBERT show off their goods. John said, Speaking of music, I hear ROBERT KALKA is giving BOB ROBERTSON1 some competition at the Metropolitan Opera. Bob has a very good reason for falling' down on the job of keeping the aisles clear of paper, as he is trying to teach his. nine young sons, ages one to nine, to play football. He is not doing so well as at teacher, because his two baby sitters, FRED POLONKA and ED BUCHOLTZ, are giving, too much free advice. LUCILLE WLODAREK and JOYCE WOODARD are substituting for the whistles which broke down on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. MARY ANN CZAKANY and ELAINE VANDER HAGEN are watchwomen at the Oliver Street crossing . . . TED DEGUC is president of Studebeggers. MARY ANN BENCSICS is his private secretary . . . BETTY JANE WOLTMAN is chief cleanup girl at Herman's. She was promoted. after she was caught selling too much merchandise. Gee, it's getting late! Let's hail a cab and go home. Both agreed. As they were walking down the steps, a cab screeched up to the curb. It was FRANCIS DE BUYSSER, driving his own Buick. On weekdays he takes all his old classmates' juniors to school for a mere five cents. Emily and John, the new street cleaner, got into the car and as it drove out of sight into the dusk, we conclude these memories of the Class of 1948. The The Washington High School Class of I948, being on this date in full possession of its intelligence and anxious that its undeniable gifts should not be scattered unwisely about upon its demise, do ordain these bequests: I, Frances De Buysser, will my ability to skip and be late in Mr. Redlings' class to Elmer Van De Weille, who gets caught every other day.
