Our lmight in shining armour represents the spirit of both the academic world of study - conquest of new lmowledge, and the athletic world of sport - conquest of new trophies. Our pride in our school's achievements and our recognition of the many opportunities provided us as stu- dents together with the awards of graduation - all these and many more evoke in each of us a spirit of loyalty represented by Semper Fidelis .

My congratulations to the faculty and students who have contributed to the educa- tional growth of our school this past year in the classroom, in extra-curricular activ- ities, and in sports . A Mr. Robert C. Nunn Principal A SCHOOL IS NEITHER THE BUILDING NOR THE EQUIPMENT AOITlIl1lSU2A1IlOY1 551 SB an 3 School is the place where fine minds , strong bodies and healthy attitudes are devel- opedg where students prepare themselves, not only for higher education, but also for solving life's problems and for building to- ward enjoyment of good living. Education is not a matter of dispensing academic knowl- edge alone, it includes awakening a social consciousness in studentsg it means building a sense of social utility in the individualg it demands the development of individual per- sonalities and the encouraging of accept- ance of responsibilities.

With the opening game , however, they showed that they were ready to play as a well-knit unit. Although outplaying Allen Park most of the game, they fell victim to a long forward pass late in the game, and lost 7-6. The second game found the de- fense playing a superb game and the team tied Edsel Ford 0-0. Our third game was against Romulus, a league foe and with the defense again performing well, Melvindale Won 12-0. The next game found the team traveling to Dearbon for an afternoon game. A recovered fumble resulted in a touchdown for Dearborn and defeat for Melvindale, score 7-0. The fourth game brought Ecorse, our second league foe, to Melvindale. With Melvindale leading 6-0 until late in the game, Ecorse blocked a punt and ran it for a touchdown, the final score being 7-6 in favor of Ecorse, The fifth game of the season was a big one with many of the grads in the stands for Homecoming. Melvin- dale staged a terrific second half rally to defeat Lincoln Park 13-12, which resulted in the return of the Brown Jug to Melvindale. Following a 9-0 loss to Taylor Center, the team rebounded for wins over Lowrey who was undefeated until meeting Melvindale, and over River Rouge, respective scores being 13-7 and 25-14. The two final victories left Melvindale with a 4-4-1 record for the season, Melvindale finishing in a tie for second in the league, and returning of the Brown Jug being the highlights of the season. With the return of six regulars from this year's team, the outlook for the season of 1957 is brighter. ! 'Nn 5 .

The Cardinal five ended up with a 12-3 regular season mark, then rolled on to four more post-season wins before losing to Harper Woods in the state quarterfinal game. Coach Leo Turner acclaimed his quintet as the most courageous and finest all- around team he has had. He based his opinion on the fact that they came from behind to win several times during the season. After winning the Twin Valley Championship, the first by a Melvindale cage team, the Cards captured district honors at Allen Park and then advanced to the regionals where they defeated their arch-rival River Rouge for the third straight time to win the State Regional Championship. This was the first time in 21 years that this feat had been accomplished. The Cards then met Harper Woods in the state quarterfinal game but fell before this five-shooting aggregation by the score of 61-54. Melvindale's scoring during the season was carried mainly by the Harman-Street Twins , Larry Potochan and Dave Onofrio.

Greens Wrestling Summary 1956-1957 Looking back over the first official season of competition for our wrestling team, I can honestly say our efforts were successful. Although our record, five wins and 9 losses , is not in itself considered near good, one has to take into account the fact of the inexperience of the team. In this light they made more than just a good showing for the first year. With the experience gained this year and the added interest by the student body we will no doubt show greater improvement next season. We will be depending heavily on the ninth graders of this last season Coach Bill Livingston to form a strong nucleus around which we will build our team. Our medal winners this year were Pat Machinic, 4th in 133 lbs. and Larry Waldecker 4th in 138 lbs . At the Regionals , Robert Caril won a lst in heavy weight and William Hoth a 2nd in 175 lbs W R 6 n G class at the state A. A.U. in the High School Division. These are the pleasant memories and signs of success which gave one much satisfaction after a season of hard work. 1 Top row: B. Rumley, 1. Antosh, R. Carli, W. Hoth, A. Fast, M. Lenzotti, W.

The boys, headed by Coach Dale Sawicki, had worked very hard llecting junk and they held a raffle to finance the trip. The raffle ls the main source of income. Altogether, they collected over ,000.

Coach Elwood Kureth TRACK TEAM The Melvindale Cardinal Track squad experienced a rather good season in the spring of 1956. Led by senior James Robinson, who compiled an amazing 249 112 points in a single season, the team won ten of seventeen meets. The 57 Cardinal squad, with a stiff schedule facing them, will have such outstanding preformers as miler Eugene Jurkierwicz, hurdler Carl Erdilyi, dash men Norman Floyd, Carl Marosi and Peter Sturgeon, shot puter Arlo Fast, Marvin Wethington and Pole vaulter Pat Machnik. This group plus a large number of veterans and freshmen could mean a good season. mack team fx L. to R. L. Waldecker, N. Floyd, B. Fleming, N. Lenzotti, M. Toth, P.

Cross Country--1956 The Melvindale Cross Country team enjoyed their second consecutive winning year although they met many of the strongest teams in the area. Despite this difficult schedule, the Cross Country team won eight of their fifteen meets. The highlight of the season was Captain Jurkiewicz's record breaking effort of 9:57, this breaking his old record of 10:09. Other bright spots in the season was the performance of winners James Kozan, Bruce Germain, and Lynn Krueger. The team was bolstered by the consistent rtmning of Stanley Hrydzus zko and William Fleming. Russell Pillar, Mike Toth, and Dale Horback added strength to the team. All will return with the exception of the graduating seniors, Bill Fleming and Mike Toth. The prospects for next year's team appears to be rather bright. However, with a new league schedule facing this rather unexperienced team anything can happen. Cross Country Mrs. Carrie Hill G. A. A. Sponsor q.a.a. First row, left to right: B. Fleury, L. Smith, I.
