It was in this year that Mr. Iohn Rush Powell retired after heading our school for twenty years. He then became assistant super- intendent of high schools. Mr. Stellwagen became principal and served until 1946, when he was succeeded by Mr. Ben Barr. At this time there were 3123 students ennrolled. To- day there are 1582. The first year of the school there had been 1150. In the autumn of 1948 the Blewett High School building was needed by Harris Teach- ers College. Therefore, Soldan and Blewett merged to form the Soldan-Blewett High School. Then the colors maroon and gold were chosen. .Mafory ln 1950 one of Soldan's finest traditions originated. During the Korean War an out- standing Soldan graduate was killed. This man, Tom Lombardo, who graduated in l941, was a star in three fields here at Soldan. He Won many awards for outstanding skill in football. He had a brilliant mind. ln every respect Tom was a gentleman. Two of his former classmates made it possible that Sol- danians will not forget Tom Lombardo. They subscribed money for a plaque which now hangs in the hall at Soldan. Each year a name is added to it, honoring the boy who most lives up to the standards set by Tom Lombardo as athlete, scholar, and gentleman. There are now ten names on this plaque. ln 1954 Mr. Stanley Hill succeeded Mr. Ben Barr as principal, then Mr. Glynn Clark in 19567 Mr. Otto Rost in 1957. ln the year 1955 the school's name was changed back to Soldan. ln this same year a transition took place which we now consider part of our daily lives. The Supreme Court called it integration: we call it brotherhood. This year of. 1959 marks a new accomplish- ment in the Soldan record. The first Phillip 1. Hickey Sportsmanship Award for football was presented to Soldan this year. We are particularly proud of this since it represents the combined efforts of the entire student body and faculty.
