And because it is the story of an American high school, the casual observer may tend to consider the narrative merely as the repetition of an oft- repeated theme. Such an attitude, however, would be a mistaken one, for it is OUR STORY — the story of our hopes and our dreams, our defeats and our disappointments — indeed, the story of our very lives. From the found¬ ers and first graduating class of Noll High School to those students yet unknown who will one day sit at these very desks, it is OUR STORY. The founders have begun the story; we have added this most recent chap¬ ter; those of the future will read it, profit by it, and write their own story. Each and everyone of us who is part and parcel of life here at Noll High will leave his mark, not only here in the school, but also in the world and in eternity, for we FACULTY Someone once said, Youth needs a guiding hand. We at Noll High are no exception. One of the most helpful chapters of OUR STORY is found within the bonds of our Faculty who have labored to make us true Christian Americans.page 10 are the Christian Americans of tomorrow. What has done much to shape our lives into what they will be is important to our¬ selves, to the world, and to God. Thus it is that OUR STORY cannot be trite. As these pages unfold, the personae dramatis will move through the memories of the 1953-54 scholastic year and will dramatize OUR STORY. CLASSES The many hours of careful study, the pleasant hours of interesting activities, the thrill of a job well done -— these are the thoughts uppermost in our minds as we reminisce about the classmates who have played so important a part in OUR STORY .page 20 ACTIVITIES OUR STORY continues through the leaves of a book and unfolds the many activities which have taught us to cooperate with others and have given us opportunities for leadership. Our Activities bring to light many pleasant memories of school life and provide some of the highlights of OUR STORY .page 70 ATHLETICS Participation in high school athletics brings to the fore the real sportsmanship and school spirit in high school students. These pages contain our sports, our teams, and our spirit. They form another chapter in OUR STORY.page 92 5 BISHOP NOLL HIGH SCHOOL Every good thing has a humble begin¬ ning, and Bishop Noll High School, the main topic of OUR STORY is no exception. It began in 1921 in the temporary quarters of two class rooms at St. Mary ' s grade school in East Chicago. In 1922 the school moved to the present campus and into the famous barracks a five-room building covered with tar paper. In 1923 a building program was begun which has resulted in the present buildings on the campus. Bishop Noll High School began with a total enroll¬ ment of 40 students in 1921, and has grown to the present enrollment of 1341 students. With such modest beginnings and with such leaps and bounds, our school has con¬ tinued to the present day. The original faculty members of Catholic Central High School, as it was then called, were the Poor Handmaid Sisters of Jesus Christ, whose Motherhouse is located at Donaldson, Indiana. Today Noll High is staffed by seven priests, twenty-two Sisters of the Holy Cross, and ten lay men and women. Rev. P. J. Schmid was appointed Director of the school in 1923. Fr. Schmid is now acting as chaplain at St. Margaret ' s Hos¬ pital, Hammond. In 1934 he was succeeded by Father Conway, present pastor of St. Mary of the Lake, Miller. The present Prin¬ cipal, Rev. A. J. Junk, made his first appear¬ ance at Noll High as teacher and athletic director in 1933. In 1939 he began his career as Principal and has been serving the cause of Christian education during the twenty years of his priesthood. The subjects taught at Noll High are based on Catholic principles and are pre¬ sented from a Catholic point of view. They are imparted with an eye towards the future life and needs of each one of the students. The school sponsors a complete athletic program and a wide variety of activities of an extra-curricular nature. 6 Upon matriculation at Noll High, pros¬ pective students are given a battery of tests, the results of which prove helpful in de¬ termining the choice of a curriculum and in placing the student in classes which will satisfy his needs and talents. Noll High offers to its students four curriculas: the Classical, the Commercial, the Scientific, and the General. Bishop Noll High School has thus vastly expanded and improved since its inauspi¬ cious launching in the early Roaring Twenties. However, those modest begin¬ nings were the necessary nucleus out of which has grown and developed the present institution. r ' rcx.Jii. «Ui THE GROTTO The grotto of Our Lady is bright at night. The grotto, built by former students, is a hallowed spot, dear to the heart of every loyal Nollite. The entire student body joins annually in special devotions to Our Lady in October and in May. It is traditional for the football team to visit the grotto before and after every home game. Be¬ fore, during, and after every school day many students visit the Mother of Christ at the grotto to praise her, to tell her their troubles, and to obtain her powerful intercession. Students assemble for the rosary in October. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is given after the October Rosary. Our Lady is crowned Queen at the annual May Devotions. 8 During the lunch period students of¬ ten visit at St. Margaret Mary ' s Shrine in the church. CHURCH OF SAINT MARGARET MARY St. Margaret Mary Parish was organized in 1947 by the Rev. E. H. Klein, a former teacher at Noll High. At first a converted classroom was used for Mass, but in 1950 ground was broken for a new church. The church, Norman French Gothic in style, was ready for occupancy in 1952. Each morning Mass is offered at an hour which enables students to attend Mass and re¬ ceive Holy Communion in this beautiful Church of St. Margaret Mary. Visits to the church during lunch period and after school also are a source of spiritual help for Noll High students. The main altar of St. Margaret Mary ' s Rev. E. H. Klein, former teacher ot Bishop Noll High School, is the founder and pastor of St. Margaret ' s Parish located on the school campus. Students attend daily Mass at St. Margaret Mary ' s Church. 9 THIS IS OUR STORY . . . To the Faculty of Bishop Noll High School we owe a great debt of gratitude. These priests, sisters, and lay people who give their time and talents so willingly and so fully to educate us are the individuals who make Noll High what it is. They have shown us the wealth and beauty of learning and have prepared us for battles with the adversaries of life by furnishing us with the armor of truth, our Christian Faith. Noll High offers its students various types of curricula in its plan of education. These curricula satisfy the needs of several goals and professions. Besides supplying the require¬ ments of the state of Indiana for high school graduation, Noll High School is prepared to teach the courses necessary and useful for entrance into the various fields of college and university work. For students wishing to enter the fields of law, medicine, nursing, teaching, the priest¬ hood, and similarly related fields, the Classical Curriculum is recommended. Those wishing to be engineers, mechanics, mathematicians, or scientists will find the Scientific Curriculum well suited to their needs. The Commercial Curriculum, which offers typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, secretarial training, and related subjects, prepares the individual for stenographic, secretarial, and clerical positions. The General Curriculum is designed for the student who plans to termin¬ ate his formal education with high school. This curriculum will prepare him for a Chris¬ tian democratic way of life. The guiding hand which we, today ' s youths and tomorrow ' s citizens, need, is found in this chapter without which OUR STORY would be incomplete. May God grant that OUR STORY in the future will be a creditable reflection of the Christian principles our Faculty has im¬ parted to us. 11 Reverend Alfred J.

This group of fathers of students, alumni, and other men in¬ terested in Catholic education and in Noll High takes an active part in many school functions. Before school began last fall the Fathers ' Club sponsored an inter¬ squad exhibition football game of the Chicago Bears. The Club was also in¬ strumental in building the permanent ticket booths on the football field. During the scholastic year the Fathers ' Club provided most of the transportation for the Warriors when they played away from home. At home games members of the Club acted as ticket-takers and ushers at the Civic Center and on the gridiron. The Fathers ' Club organized the Blue and Gold Club, which is an or¬ ganization devoted to Catholic edu¬ cational activities. They held a smok¬ er in the fall and spring for their own members and, finally, together with the Mothers ' Club, presented Noll High ' s athletes with the annual Ath¬ letic Banquet. MR.

Taillon as president, is composed of mothers of past and present students and other women interested in Bishop Noll High School. Their object is the pro¬ motion of o better understanding of the work of the school in Lake County. Each year the Mothers ' Club holds a Spring Luncheon for all members. The Junior mothers also serve break¬ fast for the graduates and their par¬ ents after the Baccalaureate Mass. Last October the Mothers ' Club presented a fashion show and card party at which were featured fash¬ ions from two leading stores of Ham¬ mond. In November the combined Mothers ' and Fathers ' Clubs ar¬ ranged a reception for Fr. Junk on the occasion of his twentieth anni¬ versary of service with the school. In January they entertained the Sisters of the Faculty with a shower. The annual bazaar and Athletic Banquet are also projects in which the organ¬ ization takes an active part. MRS.

OUR STORY began four years ago when, as timorous and reticent frosh, we, the gradu¬ ates of ' 54, set out on the well-worn path of high school life. That first year saw the be¬ ginning of the Dramatic Club under the direc¬ tion of a new faculty member. Miss Salon. The many hours we spent in the careful study of dramatics and the stage were the first taste of the extra-curricular program we enjoyed. In our sophomore year we came to exper¬ ience the pleasant hours of social activities in such events as the Homecoming dance and the Winter Formal. We were no longer the youngest in school, and we found our class well represented in the school clubs. Junior year brought with it the dignified distinction of upperclassmen. ' ' This year brought one addition after another to OUR STORY: first, our own choral group directed by Sister Mary Edith, C.S.C.; then a church dedicated to St. Margaret Mary on our own campus; the formation of the S.D.S. by our own junior girls. Senior year! The first of these pages was a tale of sorrow, for in November we heard of the tragic death of an alumnus, Walter Homan, whom many of us had known in our junior year. Later, in December, came news of another classmate whom God had called, Gerald Bolch. In a happier vein, our operetta, Amahl and the Night Visitors , was pre¬ sented in December along with a program of Christmas carols. The year moved so fast, and soon the thrill of graduation was upon us — our senior pictures; then the yearbook sketches; finally, in a rush of excitement and the thrill of a job well done, graduation. This, then, is OUR STORY. 21 Vice-Presidents of the Senior Home Rooms ore Gloria Conway, Senior 1; John King, Senior 2; Bernie Wontorek, Senior 3; Ray Knight, Senior 4; Robert Stupeck, Senior 5; and Nada Stilinovich, Senior 6. 22 SENIORS ELECT CLASS OFFICERS Senior Officers Early in the scholastic year the election of class officers is held in every home room. Each Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior home room elects four officers: president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. These officers act as the leaders of their respective home rooms. The Senior Class deviates slightly from the general procedure followed by the other three classes. In place of a president in each home room, the Seniors elect one representative who acts as president of the entire class. He has, as his assistants, a vice-president, secretary, and treasurer in each Senior home room. SENIORS ELECT ROBAK This year the Senior Class chose Ray Robak as Class President. Ray is a member of St. Casimir ' s Parish, Hammond, and attended St. Casimir ' s grade school before coming to Noll High. Here his pleasing personality and foot¬ ball prowess soon gained for him wide popu¬ larity. This year Ray was also co-captain of the football team. Ray plans to continue his education in the fall at Wabash College. Senior Officers Evelyn Gesmond, Leone Zbikowski, Mary Esther Matthews, and Mary Mulflur were elected as the Secretaries of their respective Senior Home Rooms. Senior Officers Treasurers of Senior Home Rooms are Jule Bell, Tom Gozdecki, Dave Mayer, and Dick Laskody. 23 CO-VALEDICTORIANS OF ’54 NAMED J. CENGEL AND V. MAKOWSKI TIE FOR TOP AWARDS Customarily the honors of Valedictorian and Salutatorian go to the senior boy and girl who rank highest scholastically in their class. This year, however, a very unusual coincident occurred. Each of the two top ranking seniors of the 1954 Graduating Class earned exactly the same number of honor points and merited VIVIAN MAKOWSKI is a friendly girl who not only gained recognition in her classes through her keen intilligence, but also found many lasting friends at school through her pleasant personality. She is from St. Stanislaus Parish in East Chicago, where she also attended grade school. Her outstanding scholastic record during her four years at Noll High has won for her the title of Co-Valedictorian of the Class of ' 54. In the fall Miss Makowski plans to continue her formal education, and she will matriculate at St. Francis College, Joliet, Illinois. for themselves the outstanding honors of Co- Valedictorians. John Cengel and Vivian Ma¬ kowski ranked highest scholastically among the Class of ' 54 and are the Class Co-Valedic¬ torians. These are the highest scholastic awards that can be conferred on any student. JOHN CENGEL is a member of St. John the Baptist Parish in Whiting. After achieving success at that grade school, he came to Noll High on a scholarship and continued his climb to the top of the intellectual ladder to be named one of the Co-Valedictorians of his class. His quiet, unassuming nature and out¬ standing character have gained for him many friends among both students and Faculty. His interest and application in the classroom, as well as in all his other activities, are indications of greot success in later life. Mr. Cengel ' s plans for the immediate future include o college education with pharmacy as his major. 24 Honor Students National History Contest The month of October brought a round of various actiivties to the students this year. Among them was the all-school History Con¬ test sponsored by the Chicago Herald Amer¬ ican. After spending a few days of brushing up on their knowledge of American History, seven Seniors had a chance to display their talents by participating in the preliminary ex¬ amination here at Noll High. This was to determine who would represent the school in the finals. By the unanimous vote of the His¬ tory teachers, Leone Zbikowski was chosen to be Bishop Nol ' s representative on December 1st. Leone competed in the final exam held at Washburn Trade School, Chicago. She faced tough competition from 150 schools in and around Chicago-land. Bishop Noll High School is justly proud of Leone Zbikowski for she represented the school in the annual contest. Leone Zbikowski represented Noll High at the Notionol History Contest in Chicago.

CAMERA-SHY SENIORS 42 JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM HELD MAY 21 Couples arrive for the Prom. Lost-minute adjustments are made. A section of the Grand March. Sociability between dances. One of the traditional and most thrilling social events of the year and of high school experience is the Jun¬ ior-Senior Promenade. Dates are made weeks and months in advance, and a great deal of secrecy pervades the atmosphere as the Juniors plan the biggest dance of the year as a parting tribute to the Seniors. The long anticipated evening became a reality on May 21 when, after much planning and hard work, the high school gym assumed the proportions of a beautiful ballroom. The girls, lovely in their pastel gowns and cor¬ sages, and the fellows in their formal attire completed the scene. It was a grand evening and will long be re¬ membered by all promenaders. 43 BACCALAUREATE MASS JUNE 3 Fr. Junk (above) was celebrant. Frs. Traub and Zimmerman were Deacon and Sub-deacon. Fr. Hildebrandt, Dean of the Hammond Deanery, is also pic- Graduating Class receives Holy Communion at B accalaureate Mass at St. Joseph ' s, Hammond. Formal ceremonies of the 1954 Graduation began June 3 with the Baccalaureate Solemn High Mass at St. Joseph ' s Church, Hammond. Priests of the Faculty served as the ministers of the Mass and Noll ' s male choir, supplemented by the boys ' choir of St. Mark ' s Parish, Gary, sang the Mass. In the sermon the Seniors were again reminded that it is their personal responsibility to live the Catholic principles they have learned while attend¬ ing Bishop Noll High School and that they will be the examples of Catholic education. It was an impressive sight to view the Seniors, attired in academic cap and gown, kneel side by side to receive Holy Communion as they prepared to leave high school. Breakfast was served to them and their parents by the Junior mothers at the school gym after the Mass. The Baccalaureate choir (right) consisted of Noll ' s male chorus under the direction of Fr. Mele- voge, and St. Mark ' s boys ' choir directed by Fr. Daniel Peil. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES JUNE 6 Annual Commencement Exercises of Bishop Noll High school were held Sunday evening, June 6, at the Hammond Civic Center. Par¬ ents, relatives, and friends watched intently from the galleries as the Seniors, in academic dress, and the Faculty slowly filed into the auditorium to the familiar strains of Pomp and Circumstance. The program included the Valedictory and Salutatory addresses delivered by the boy and girl who ranked highest scholastically in the class. After the Commencement address by the guest speaker, the Rev. A. J. Junk, Princi¬ pal, made the various awards, granted scholar¬ ships which were merited by certain individ¬ uals, and finally conferred high school diplom¬ as on all the Seniors who then formally became the 1954 Graduates and Alumni of Bishop Noll High School. UNDERCLASSMEN THIS IS OUR STORY OUR STORY would not be complete and true if it created the impression that all de¬ pended upon and centered around the depart¬ ing seniors. The majority of the students, next year ' s leaders and the next year ' s followers, also find their places in OUR STORY. This has been the first year for many stu¬ dents, an introduction to the gay, free years of high school life. No doubt they found the life strange and intricate in the beginning. But as the year progressed, they fitted them¬ selves into the pattern of high school days and found a new sense of belonging that will last until they themselves are the queens and kings of Noll High. To other students this year has brought the first experience of responsibility and leader¬ ship. Such students have learned what can be accomplished through cooperation and have developed a desire to lead others to that dis¬ covery. They have learned of the enjoyment that can be theirs by participation in the school ' s many social and athletic activities. New classes and new subjects have opened wider fields for their investigation and talents. New friends and new interests have cast their impressions in the minds and lives of the Cath¬ olic youth of Noll High — impressions never to be lost. These students, the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, look ahead to their own senior year and it seems like such a distant reality. Their spirit and energy, however, will carry them through to that final goal in the course of time so that all of them will finally stand as seniors and will add their own chapters to OUR STORY. 47

Noll High students believe in the adage, All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. Living proof of this is offered in the form of clubs, societies, dances, and parties. The Nollite can find any number of ways, profitable both to himself and to the school, to expand his talents and satisfy his interests. Indeed, all sorts of talents are represented in Noll ' s Activity program. The school ' s governing body calls out the born politician and intrigues him with elec¬ tions and offices. Students find a scholastic uplift in the various honorary societies which encourage further study in various fields. Writers and would-be writers find ample op¬ portunity to try their hand at journalism in many sources. The part-time artists finds a haven in school publicity. The future actor has no difficulty in finding his way into the world of dramatics. For those who wish to serve their Creator and their fellowmen more abundantly, there are mission groups and other groups which foster the true Catholic spirit of Christian charity and service. Noll fans find an outlet for their enthusiasm both in work and in cheering. There are many ways in which one can back the team, for the loyal fan in the stands participates in the game in a very real sense. Some of the most memorable hours of school life are to be found in the activities and projects of these clubs, in planning and in executing ideas — ideas that range from profound discussions to light-hearted dancing. We proudly present the highlights of OUR STORY. We hope that the memories of our success will encourage future Nollites to un¬ dertake similar projects which lead to such wonderful and profitable times and exper¬ iences. 71 STUDENT COUNCIL Fr. Junk, Sponsor, explains the intricacies of the public address system to Mary Catherine Blake and Pete Cergizon, President and Vice-President of the Student Council. Mary Catherine and Pete lead the student body in the daily Angelus and moke the doily announcements over the P.A. Sponsored by Father Junk, Principal, the Student Council forms the student body ' s gov¬ ernment here at Noll. This organization pro¬ motes a more unified feeling between the students and the faculty. All suggestions of the student body are brought before the Stu¬ dent Council for consideration and action. This year, the Student Council, together with the monitors, initiated a locker inspection in a drive to have all lockers locked at all times. Another project of the Student Council was the aid given in the cafeteria to relieve the congestion and help maintain proper order and neatness. The annual winter formal, December Dream was held in Noll ' s gym, on the 29th of December. Mary Kay Blake and Peter Cergizan, Student Council ' s president and vice-president, were co-chairmen of the gala affair.

The Marynoll Chapter of the National Honor Society was established at Noll High School in 1948. The purpose of the Society is to promote scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Membership in the society is elective and is based on these four qualities. Each year the Honor Society awards to a freshman a cumulative scholarship based on the results of a competitive examination. The Society sponsors two dances to finance this scholarship. Another aim of the Society is that proper parliamentary procedure be followed in all class meetings and elections. An open meeting was held in November for the entire student body to provide this instruction as well as to induct the new members of the Society. The Monitor System is also under the spon¬ sorship of the National Honor Society. In con¬ junction with the Student Council, the Society Officers of the Notional Honor Society are Ruth Sedlak, Secretary; Bob Schreiner, Treasurer; Tom Gozdecki, Vice-President; and Nora Lee Hebard, Treasurer. inaugurated daily and hourly inspection of student lockers to see that they were locked at all times.

Sister Marie Celine, Dean of Girls and Assistant Principal, acts as the Faculty Mod¬ erator of the National Honor Society. BI-PHY-CHEM The science club of Noll, the Bi-Phy-Chem, is an honorary society open to all students maintaining a B average in one of the three sciences. Meetings are held monthly, and at each meeting, students from one of the science classes present a demonstration connected with their science field.

S. M. C. Sparked by Sister M. Ivan, the Catholic Stu¬ dents Mission Crusade, our mission organiza¬ tion, builds its projects around prayer, alms¬ giving, and study. The objective of the society is to promote interest in, and aid for, the home and foreign missions. Besides the regular weekly mission contri¬ butions and annual drives, two special drives were conducted this year. One was for Father Tom Zimmerman, a Noll alumnus presently Sister M. Ivan, C.S.M.C. sponsor, addresses the student body during the October mission meeting at which the entire school joined in reciting the rosary before the grotto. Other officers pictured are, left to right: Virginia Cieslak, president; Joan Skawinski, secretary; Pat Feeney, treasurer, and John Buchalo, Student Council representative. assigned to missionary work in Pakistan; the other was for the building fund for the Na¬ tional Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at Washington, D.C. In this latter drive Noll High students attained first place among all diocesan high schools. The C.S.M.C. also sponsors Study Clubs which run for a period of twelve weeks in each semester and which study specific mission areas, their work, and their needs.

(Supply the Demand for the Lee Hebard, Patti Rogan, Mary Catherine Blake. THIRD ROW: Mary Mulflur, Dolores Holzbach, Anita Sedlak, Virgie Cieslak, Kathleen Mauch. Supply) puts on two programs during the school year: one in the fall and again in the spring. These programs consist of discussions on the various phases of the virtue of modesty and a style show in which the students model modest and attractive clothes. KNIGHTS OF For many years the boys of Noll have acted as servers for the daily 7:45 Mass. This year these boys, under the leadership of Dan O ' Keefe, organized themselves into a club and called themselves the Knights of the Altar. THE ALTAR They serve Mass each day for Father Klein in St. Margaret Mary ' s Church. They also serve at the annual October Devotions and May Crowning held at the Grotto. Gospel Side: J. Motion, T.

The Junior Red Cross of Noll High has become one of the outstanding Councils of the Hammond Chapter. The Council is under the direction of Sister M. Andrew. Each year the Red Cross sponsors one of the school dances and an annual drive to finance gift boxes for needy children in for¬ eign lands. Last fall they shipped overseas over one hundred gift boxes filled with toys and school necessities. At Christmas time they prepared favors and Christmas candies to dec¬ orate the trays of the patients at St. Anne ' s Home, and this undoubtedly brought a little cheer and happiness into the life and hearts of these people.

One of the few clubs at Noll comprised of students who act on their own initiative is the Prop and Publicity. Under the leadership of Millie Babyak, president, this group furn¬ ished posters for games and school activities. This year, much publicity for the operetta was due to the efforts of the Prop and Publicity. Also, the C.S.M.C. used much of their artistic talent and work in the Mission drive. Officers of the Prop Pub prepare publicity ma¬ terial for the annual operetta, Amahl and the Night Visitors. They are Millie Babyak, president; Monica Slamka, vice-president; and Gloria Tatar- ak, secretary-treasurer. 81 DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatics Club, under the direction of Miss Joan Salon, presented as their annual play Moss Hart ' s and George Kaufman ' s YOU CAN ' T TAKE IT WITH YOU at the Whiting Community Center near the end of March. This 1937 Pultizer Prize winner is a zaney comedy about the Syca¬ more family who go about their clowning, work, hobbies, joys, and worries without the least inhibi¬ tions. After a night in jail, the family quiets down for a minute — but only for a minute. A touch of romance is also thrown in for good measure. Though a hilarious lot, the Sycamore family in¬ deed seems far more sane during the play than many of us who go about our daily tasks with our personal foibles and struggle after the almighty dollar.

The Booster Club shows more high spirit and zeal than any other group on campus. Led by Miss Herod, and aided by the Cheer¬ leaders, the Booster Club inspires real spirit for the home football and basketball games. Though membership is limited to seniors, it would not be fair to the underclassmen to deny their aid in the cheering sections at our games. The Booster Club helps plan pep sessions for the school. It aids the Cheerleaders in the homecoming program, selling mums, decorat¬ ing cars, preparing the bonfire, skits and re¬ freshments for the homecoming celebrations. Its main project, perhaps, each year, is the pre-sectional pep session, which is always loaded with spirit.

Victorine, is a group of Junior girls who wish to develop and exploit an in¬ terest in writing. The main project annually of this group is the publication of the Senior Sketches. The work on this book is begun early in the school year, for a great deal of time and effort is required to interview each Senior and then organize and compile the material for publication. Most of the members attended the National Catholic Press Confer¬ ence in Milwaukee at the end of October at which they received many pointers which proved helpful in the preparation of the Sen¬ ior Sketches. 84 MARQUETTE STAFF BOTTOM ROW: Mary Mulflur, Pete Cergizan, Judy Mertz, Nora Lee Hebard, Joan Bard, Stephanie Simon, Tom Gozdecki.

OUR STORY, the 1954 Marquette, was begun last June, when the co-editors, Pete Cergizan and Judy Mertz, and the staff mem¬ bers were appointed. During the summer. Father Seimetz, fac¬ ulty advisor, held a meeting with the co-editors and assistant editors to select a theme and begin the work. In the early fall, the publisher was chosen, the various details of the book worked out, and actual work was underway. For several months, the staff worked, in school and out of school, taking pictures, soliciting advertisements, planning layouts, and writing and typing. Completed pages were then sent to the printers. The completed book is a record of the cur¬ rent year at Bishop Noll High School for all the students, and a remembrance of OUR STORY for the Seniors. Organization and arrangement must be brought out of the chaos and confusion of paper cutters, rubber cement, pictures, and copy for the year¬ book. Pete Cergizan and Judy Mertz, co-editors of the 1954 MARQUETTE, and Fr. Seimetz, Fac¬ ulty Adviser, are shown preparing dummy pages for the printer. MUSIC Rev. Ferd Melevage Father Melevage is a prominent figure at school, not only because he is the Dean of Boys, but also because he is a teacher of history and Religion, and the director of the Music Department. Noll students turn to Father Melevage for much advice and direc¬ tion and he is always happy to help them. This is one of the many reasons why Father has endeared himself in the hearts of Noll stu¬ dents. As head of the Music Department, he has established an enviable reputation for the Department through the operetta and spring concert and other public appearances of the Choral groups. SISTER M. EDITH, C.S.C. Sister M. Edith, C.S.C., has directed the Junior Choral Club for the past two years. An able assistant to Father Melevage in stag¬ ing the annual operetta, Sister also teaches English. With her ability to aid them, the stu¬ dents of the Junior Choral are doing wonder¬ ful work. MR. JOHN MOONEY Mr. John Mooney is a new addition to Noll ' s faculty. He is an accomplished violinist and also a composer. Mr. Mooney is doing an excellent job in organizing and directing our new school band and orchestra. SENIOR CHORAL CLUB WS • ' «.

It was most difficult to start from the very beginning, but Mr. John Mooney, a new music teacher at Noll, suc¬ ceeded in one year in organizing and training the fifty young musicians, and in preparing them for their first public performances in a parade and in the annual spring concert. The new uniforms, too, enhance the ap¬ pearance of Noll High ' s newest music organ¬ ization, and loyal Nollites look to the new band and orchestra with great expectation.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT PRESENTS NEW OPERETTA AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS WELL RECEIVED BY AUDIENCE On Dec. 24, 1951, Gian Carlo Minotti ' s new and beautiful opera, Amahl and the Night Visitors, made its public debut. At once it was well re¬ ceived and by 1952 it was already included in the repertoire of the Metropolitan Opera Com¬ pany. It is now regularly featured on both radio and television during the Christmas season. Al¬ though still very new, this beautiful Christmas story has gained tremendous popularity and even threatens to become more in demand than Dickens ' Christmas Carol. The story of the opera is immediately appreci¬ ated by all audiences. It centers about the desti¬ tute and crippled shep¬ herd boy, Amahl, and his mother. Because of his love and generosity to¬ ward the Christ Child, Amahl is cured miracu¬ lously in the presence of the three Kings who Leading roles in the opera were sung by John Clune as Amahl and Patricia Lush os his mother. sought shelter with him and his mother. Amahl then persuades his moth¬ er to allow him to ac¬ company the Kings on their visit to Bethlehem. The Choral Groups of Bishop Noll High School were the first high school groups ever to present this opera. On Dec. 11, 12, and 13 the Whiting Community Center held many a curious and inter¬ ested patron. The cast was brilliant in each of the three performances and soon transformed the skeptic onlookers into ex¬ tremely responsive and enthusiastic audiences. Preliminary to the op¬ era itself, both the Senior and Junior Choral Clubs presented a program of Christmas songs which set a proper mood for the opera. The entire pro¬ gram was most enjoyable and gave convincing evi¬ dence of many hours of practice and hard work.

She repents when she learns for Whom the Kings are bringing their gifts. Amahl asks the Kings to crutch to the Child, for he has to offer Him. 90 91 ATHLETICS THIS IS OUR STORY . . . Athletics play a great part in OUR STORY, though they do not supercede the importance of other pursuits. Sports at Noll High have written another chapter for this book. They provide many experiences of thrilling activity and tense emotions for the athletes themselves and for the fans of Warrior teams. In the fall of the year football permeates the air and excites everyone with the record of games. What a thrill to win! Such a disap¬ pointment to lose! But always another game to play for Noll. Fast on the heels of football comes the basketball season, a Hoosier specialty, with its festive air of holiday tourneys and its strained moments of State tourneys. Hoarse voices are heard and excited faces are seen in the cheering section of Noll High as the Warriors engage in the combat. Later, in spring, baseball, track, and golf come to the fore. Competition with regional schools sparks the latter weeks of school. Nollites who participate in these sports learn the importance of cooperation, team work, and true sportsmanship. The loyal fans who support the Warriors give evidence of a healthy school spirit. The varied athletic pro¬ gram gives every student an opportunity to participate in his favorite sport either by way of active participation or in the role of spec¬ tator, and the Noll High Warriors in action always present a formidable foe for the opponent. 93 REV. A. J. ZIMMERMAN As Priest-Advisor of all athletics, Fr. Zimmerman is one of the busiest faculty members at Noll High. It is through his efforts that the Warriors always have worthy and formidable opponents on their schedule. Athletic publicity and tickets are other details which he supervises. Also in the athletic field and under Father ' s wing are the annual grade school tourna¬ ments in football and basketball. JAMES BUCKLEY Mr, Buckley coaches the line in football and is head baseball coach. Respected and admired by every Noll athlete, he is responsible in great measure for Noll ' s never-say-die spirit and is a constant fire under Noll ' s school spirit. Coach Buckley ' s baseball teams are always a bright spot in Noll ' s sports program. He is also faculty sponsor of the Monogram Club. KARL HUFFINE Athletic Director and head football coach are the roles Mr. Huffine admirably fills. As Athletic Di¬ rector, he is Fr. Zimmerman ' s right-hand man in all athletic matters. Coach Huffine has just completed five years of coaching at Noll and has brought the Warriors state-wide recognition in football. Strictly a part of Coach ' s constant equipment are his famous cigar stubs and his hat. 94 Vi EDGAR HUDSON Head basketball coach is the distinction held by Coach Hudson. His is a big job, for basketball is the rage of almost every Hoosier high school and competition is keen. Mr. Hudson was a star in the sport during his college days and his coaching efforts at Noll have been rewarded with teams that are always near the top.. JOHN DERMODY Mr. Dermody is one of the two new additions to Noll ' s coaching staff of this year. He is a Noll alumnus him¬ self and a former basketball star of Purdue University. He is assistant coach in football and basketball, and all Warriors hope he has a long and successful career at Noll High. GEORGE DUNLEAVY Mr. Dunleavy is the other new face on the athletic staff at Noll High. Also an alumnus of Noll, Mr. Dunleavy attended Kansas State Teachers ' College after he completed his years of service to Uncle Sam. He coaches freshmen football and basketball as well as varsity track. 95 STUDENT ATHLETIC MANAGERS All too often it is simply taken for granted that it just happens that the various teams appear equipped and uniformed automatically and that such matters take care of themselves. Seldom a thought is given to the unsung heroes behind the scenes who care for and issue such equipment previous to games and are there to receive it when the players have finished the game and the fans have gone home. The men behind the scenes long before and after sched¬ uled games and daily practice are the student athletic managers who tend to the needs of the players. It is rare that they receive the credit that is justly due them. Student managers for the Warriors are: Tom Gozdecki and Varsity Football Dan O ' Keefe.and Basketball Martin Downey and Ray Schmelzer.Track Jack Juscik.Basketball John Kozubal.Baseball Pot Stodola.Freshmen Football and Basketball Tony Sobkowicz.Fr. Football 96 BOTTOM ROW: John Juscik, John Kozubal, Pat Stodola. SECOND ROW: Tom Gozdecki, Martin Down¬ ey, Ray Schmelzer, Dan O ' Keefe. The Senior Cheerleaders are Mickie Lewandowski, Carol Schneider, The Junior Cheerleaders are Joan Knoerzer, Elaine Evelyn Gesmond, and Lorraine Wohadlo. Shestak, and Jayne Knoerzer. Cheerleaders At football and basketball games alike, Noll High has one of the loudest and best cheering sections in the Cal¬ umet region. School spirit, however, does not just happen, and a major con¬ tributing unit to this spirit is Noll ' s group of vigorous and peppy cheer¬ leaders under the direction of Miss Herod. This year ' s varsity cheerleaders were Carol Schneider, captain, Evelyn Ges¬ mond, Lorrie Wohadlo, and Mickie Lewandowski. The reserves were Elaine Shestak and a set of sparkling twins, Jayne and Joan Knoerzer. Without their pep sessions previous to games and their direction and leadership of the student body in cheering at games, Warrior teams would never do as well as they have done and Noll High would not be known as the school with the spirit. MONOGRAM CLUB Only those athletes who have earned a major letter are members of the Monogram Club. To earn a major letter, an athlete must have played a minimum of one-half the total number of quarters of varsity competition. The Monogram Club attempts to promote im¬ portance of good sportsmanship. The Mono¬ gram Club lends a helping hand in the Home¬ coming actiivties and they sponsor their own dances through the year.

Noll started the scoring with a 15 yard touchdown pass from Hughes to Loneski. Later in the game Evansville scored and the game settled down to tough defensive football on both sides. Sept. II—Noll 0 South Bend Washington IB In the first game of the season Noll played host to Washington of South Bend, and the opponent went home with a 13 point decision to their credit. All- State fullback Joe Brazin scored both touchdowns for Washington. Noll came back in the second half and held the highly favored Washington team scoreless. Sept. 18—Noll 38 Chicago Roosevelt 0 Noll played host to Chicago Roosevelt and sent them home with high regard for Noll ' s football prowess. Noll ' s scoring storted early in the game when Fred Halon ran 65 yards on the first play of the game. Halon also ran 45 yards for another touchdown later in the game. Passes from Kapuscinski to Bielefeld and from Hughes to Michalak add two more tallies. Gardner ' s run of 43 yards and Reffkin ' s plunge ac¬ counted for the further scoring. Oct. 2—Noll 6 Louisville Flaget 26 The Warroirs fought a hard but losing battle against the fine Flaget team which revenged their two defeats by Noll in previous seasons. Noll ' s score came early from a plunge by Bielefeld; but Flaget, relying on their fine running ability, was never pressed. 102 Oct. 26—Noll 32 Mormion Military Academy 6 Nofl rolled over Mormion and just about everybody scored. Noll was winning 6-0 at the half and came back with four more touchdowns after the intermission. Kapuscinski went over from the three-yard line for the first touchdown and passed for three others: one each to Michalak, Lone- ski, and Graney. Reffkin also ran 75 yards for a touchdown. It wat a fitting end for Noll ' s last home game and its Homecoming. Nov. 6—Noll 13 Indianapolis Cathedral 27 Noll went to Indianapolis and lost its last game of the season by a misleading margin. The score was tied at the half, due mainly to Loneski ' s ability in pass catching. Then Cathedral broke loose for two quick touchdowns to put an end to the scoring. Kapuscinski ' s two touchdown passes to Loneski were Noll ' s only scores. Oct. 9—Noll 26 Terre Haute Gerstmeyer 15 Noll again went south and this time returned victoriously. Although losing at the half due to a safety, Noll returned after the intermission to score two touchdowns and held Gerstmeyer scoreless. Reffkin, Halon, and Bielefeld scord on the ground and Kapuscinski took to the air with a pass to Loneski for a score.

Results of the 1954 season were not available at press time. Cafeteria Staff Mrs. Pictor, Mrs. Dienes, ond Mrs. Diestler cheerfully prepare and serve the meals each day in the school cafeteria. The four doily cafeteria shifts are very demanding on these ladies, but they are always on time with wholesome food and do an admirable job. The school maintains a cafeteria in the gym building for the convenience of the students during their lunch periods. Hot plate lunches and other snacks are available to them at practically cost. The large student enrollment necessitates two cafeteria shifts during each of the lunch periods so that the cafeteria is really not the proper place to enjoy a leisurely meal. However, lunch period is eagerly anticipated by all students in order to refresh the inner man with the food prepared by the ladies.

Each morning when the students come to school, the halls and class¬ rooms are neatly swept and clean. That broken chair that accidently fell apart the other day is now fixed and the locker that jammed, is now as good as new. All year ' round the buildings must be kept at a comfortable temper¬ ature. In the spring, summer, and fall the grounds must always be kept up and the winter snow must always be shoveled away. These are just a few of the many things that go on all year long. Mr. Strickland and his cohorts are responsible for the hard job of taking care of the school, for they are Noll ' s maintenance crew, the men behind the scenes who continually do a grand job. DR.

Actual plan¬ ning of the celebration, however, had its be¬ ginning several weeks previously. The Booster Club with the help and cooperation of the entire student body had been developing ideas for this week-end since early in September. The bonfire was held, as usual, on the baseball diamond with cheers penetrating throughout the crowd. Refreshments were served by mem¬ bers of the Homecoming Committee, and this idea was a huge success, due largely to the A highlight of the Homecoming dance was when Co-Captain Bob Stupeck crowned Mary Catherine Blake as Homecoming Queen while her attendants, Nada Stil- inovich and Dolores Ortosky, Co- Captain Ray Robak and Ed Mr. Touchdown Gardner look on.

A par¬ ade, led by the Homecoming Queen, Mary Catherine Blake, and her attendants, Dolores Ortosky and Nada Stilinovich, circled through Hammond and East Chicago under police escort. Back on the campus after the parade, the bonfire, speeches, skits, and more cheers topped off the night. At the game on the following night, Oct. 24, the Homecoming spirit captured everyone. An excited crowd of students and alumni cheered the Warriors on to a decisive victory over Marmion Military Academy.
