WW Dedication To OUR DEAR PARENTS, who at great sacrifice made it possible for us to get a Catholic Education, we, the Seniors of Saint Casimir High, humbly dedicate this volume of Casmirecho of 1948. THE SENIORS OF 1948 Present THE CASMIRECHO SENIOR MEMORY BOOK SAINT CASIMIRS HIGH SCHOOL Detroit, Michigan Foreword TWENTY YEARS AGO Saint Casimir High School was in its infancy. Today because of the seed well planted, nourished and tended, the accomplishments of the students of Saint Casimir High have blossomed into ideals and traditions never to be forgotten. Although still comparatively small, it has behind it a colorful career, and has gained for its heritage a name of true scholarship and tine citizenship. With this edition of the Casmirecho for 1948, another interesting year in the his- tory of Saint Casimir High has been brought to a closeea year outstanding in new companionships, achievements, ideals and hopes. THROUGH THE THEME ttReady to Face the Worldt we have tried in a small way to portray the indomitable spirit of Saint Casimir High by recording a typical year with the accomplishments of the students in their various classes and clubs, their student government, their athletics, their religious life and their scholastic achievements. THE SPIRIT OF SAINT CASIMIR HIGH is the spirit of friendliness and cooperation. This is built on the social Virtues of courtesy, kindness, sympathy, mutual trust and forgiveness. As ONE GLANCES through this book and turns the pages of our school life, both Scholastic and Social, one can readily see that the rudiments of these ideals have been instilled into our minds and hearts through study and everyday practice of these fundamentals. For this we, the class of 1948, are greatly indebted to each and everyone of our dear faculty. When hearts are too full for words we can only sayeitMay heavenly benedictions continue to rest upon all your efforts in the future, as they have in the past. Your names will be with us in grateful memory for many a day. OUR ALMA MATER has lighted the beacon of learning in our souls, molded our character unto the image of Christ and guided our spirit unto the right path. Now we are ttReady to Face the World? to go out into it, a finished product of a Catholic education. Our Spiritual Advisors FATHER E. MAISEL Pastor FATHER V. SZYMANSKI FATHER V.

These will soon be forgotten, but the rub-of-time will never dim the memory of the devotion tendered us by our teach- ers and spiritual directors. We have learned from these guides how to make investments that will pay dividends beyond the grave. 3 THE WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE OF CHRIST have been formed within us-the game of Christian living is ours to carry on. LEADING THE STUDENTS in spiritual paths are the ever-present Holy Name Society and the Sodality of Our Lady. At the upper left, the Holy Name group is at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The upper right depicts the May-Crowning ceremony of Our Lady by Genevieve Potochick, the Sodality Prefect and her guard of honor, Mary Ann Sandecki, Ann Brylowski, Rita Literacki, Helen Mosakowski, Mary Ann Kumor and Rita Turczyn. THE BOTTOM PICTURE recalls the memory of our first closed retreat at Saint Casimir High. Under the capable direction of the Rev. J. Kowalski, these were three heavenly days of prayer and meditation. We hope it will be made into a traditionean annual retreat at Saint Casimir High. S a ..L r 0 D.

Sister Mary Anatolia presents the Honor cup to the Senior class presidents. The ambitious Seniors were fortunate to keep it uninterruptedly, the Whole year through. IN THE RANKS of the student body we usually find those who consistently strive for ever higher scholastic standing. For these students the coveted ttMagna Cum Laudet, or ttCum Laudet standings are reserved. A scholar must earn at least forty-four honor points a year for four years to merit the ttMagna Cum Laude? A hCum Laudeh rating requires an honor-roll rating for three years, including the senior year. The seniors who have merited these titles have them engraved on the diploma and on a special wall plaque hanging in the school hall. THE OUTSTANDING HONOR STUDENTS of the class of t48 who have merited the hMagna Cum Laudet, rating are: Irene Widuta, Thaddeus 020g, Geraldine Parpart, Genevieve Potochick, Mary Ann Kumor, Eleanor Bartos, Phyllis Kwiatkowski, Stanley Wojciechowski, Ann Bry- lowski and Rita Literacki. THE uCUM LAUDEt students are Phyllis Drwila and Angela Brenda.

One of the most hectic periods of the day comes in the typing class at testing time, where each student strives to better his word average daily. S. C. High can boast about its many excellent typists. Office training is not the only skilled course offered to the students. This year drafting has made its initial appearance in the curricula of the school. Pictured here are a few hard-working juniors. Trigonometry is by no means a stumbling block for these mathematicians. D Sen C oncentration Leadership Skill The world today is in need of truly educated men and women. The Catholic system of education aims to prepare the boys and girls for the work each one is best fitted; some to the common ordinary jobs of workers, others to specialized professional work in the business world, in scientiflc research, in med- ical or legal positions, or as states- men to direct the worlds coursee- In the upper picture we hnd a group of Freshmen busily engaged in the study of Latin.

U nited Action C ooperative . Living H armony , Leisure time activities have one t main purpose, to train for coopera- tive living by giving opportunities for united action in various pas- times, games and sports. The im- t' portance of cooperation and har- mony is especially seen in the dis- rupted, uncertain conditions of so- ciety at large today.

Social Development Fuller Living The ceremony of Ring-Day, with its symbolic pledge of fideli- ty and loyalty to our Alma Ma- ter, was one of the highlights of the senior year. Presented in a most elaborate style by the Juniors, it was joyful, yet tinged with sorrow at the thought that we would soon be leaving this school. When memory grows hazy in recalling the past events of our high school days, one glance at the class ring, will bring back floods of happy reminiscences from that joyful Ring-Day morn. Then we will recall the feeling of elation and joy as it was flrst blessed and placed upon our fin- ger by Father V. Dominas. The inspiring words of Father Van Szymanski, our toast-master at this occasion, will again awaken those hopes and dreams that were locked within each of our hearts on that day. Smiling eyes and happy laughter re- flected the joys of the pleased seniors as they were feted by the juniors at their Ring-Day Breakfast. In the lower picture is featured some of the dancing which followed the Ring Day Breakfast. Gerry Parpart and Bob Gulvas are nearest to the camera. Father Van, the toastmaster for the occasion, is congratulating the cele- brants. Father Dominas is placing the cIass ring on the finger of Rose Mary Slowinski.

Marie Stafford, a music teacher ............. uThe Light Eternal is the story of the humorous, argumen- tative O,Brien couple and Margaret and George, their two children. As the story opens Margaret Finds her fiance, Danny Collins very persistent and attentive, although she reminds him that he should be on his way and at work at this time of day. After bossy and rather mattereof-fact Mrs. OiBrien finds Danny in the house and makes it plain that he is wasting his and Margaretis time, Mrs. Conway, the local gossip, brings in a choice bit of scandal. Here she exposes the boarder, Marie Stafford, as a married woman, much to Mrs. OiBrienis disgust. Events move very rapidly when Mike and Maggie OiBrien learn that their son George is in love with Miss Stafford, now a married woman. The climax comes. as Fa'ther Nolan and Marie discuss her personal problems, during a sudden rain and thunder storm. At its height a tramp, James .......................................... Christine M atey Nolan, appears on the scene. Being recognized by Father Nolant as his long-lost brother and by Marie Stafford as her husband, he ridicules God and religion, blaspheming something awful. In the midst of his blasphemy and the prayers of Father Nolan, he is struck by lightning, stunned and blinded. Mrs. Conway now learns from Mrs. OiBrien, much to her em- barrassment and humiliation, the real identity of Marie Stafford and the tramp, but true to her nature she rejoices even in this situation because it involves news. Danny Collins coming in on the morning after the storm, finds Mrs. OiBrien so sympathetic and cooperative with his plans that for a time he doubts her health. The fmal death scene of the now-repentant James Nolan and the emotional tension due to this incident leave the audience in tears. Prom N ight Young ladies in all their glamorous beauty and their handsome escorts, looking, oh, so dignified in their immaculate tuxedos, eagerly hurried to this, the most prominent social event of their high school career-the Senior Prom. Larry Paige and his superb Pages of Mel- ody did much to make this a real night of en- chantment for all who entered the beautiful ballroom of the League of Catholic Women. A very enjoyable feature of the Prom was the Grand March led by the Prom Chairman, Joseph Kosinski and the queen of the evening, Regina Grzywacz. Many exclamations of sur- prise and admiration could be heard as the lovely queen of the Prom stepped forth to re- ceive the insignia of her ofhce and a magnifI- cent spray of American beauties and lilies of the valley. Pictured here are a few scenes from that unforgettable night. At top and bottom are the two action shots on the dance floor. At upper right we find Father Van chatting with a group of seniors in an alcove on the balcony. At the foot 01 the stairs we see Joseph Kosinski and Irene Widuta, members of the Prom Committee, greet- ing the guests of the evening as they enter the ballroom. In the lounge we find a group of seniors relaxing be- tween the dances. Here is shown a part of the group ready to participate in the Grand March. guftsztw.32qi .

A Freshman class enjoying a new issue of The Casmirette. 30 Student I nspiration The Library Department is more than a club. Its members feel that the library is a power house of the school and that they, as expert mechanics, can do much to induce and to help students to draw out books and other reading matter so as to help form and develop more wholesome reading habits. The news and Views of St. Casimir High are printed monthly in the school paper HThe Casmirette. Sponsored by the Journalism and Senior Class it is one of the major activities in school. The Casmirette stat?r is in the process of making and pasting the dummy copy. The Camera Club is a comparatively new Club. Organized by a group of camera enthusiasts under the leadership of Gerry LeIo it has sponsored a successful skating party and has proved itself a fine asset to the publications department. Here a group of the Journalism students check exchange papers, before starting on a new issue of The Casmirette. WWW Mumhxxwtw Democracy In Action Saint Casimir High believes that an incentive and an inspiration must be given towards a high and noble living, if the school is to contribute towards the development of skills, attitudes and ideals leading to an effective and very active American citizenship and world cooperation for peace. As a conse- quence, all opportunities for moral, intellectual, physical and social development are eagerly utilized and all signs of leadership are encouraged The world at large looks forward to its true leadersethose who will keep their promises, stick to their principles, and dare to fight for the truth. The daily press and the radio are the channels that tell us how the world struggles in vain today for permanent peace, be- cause many of its leaders gamble with human life and ethical principlese- while God,s laws are forgotten, and manls rules are hollow and empty. As we go out into the world, we know that order and harmony can only be realized, if the harmony between God and man is kept unbrokenethat the torch of freedom, justice and humanity must be carried forward unflinchingly, tomorrow as well as today. Casmirittes make it a point to be in- formed on the Iatest news. Here the momentous speech on the U.M.T. by President Truman gets full attention from Getty Klonowski, Regina Grzywacz, Fred Leja and Martha Szydzik. Joan Turowski makes it a point to corner the Student CounciI President on his views about the U.M.T. ResuIts seem to be satisfactory to all concerned. Pictured here are a few members of the Journalism class, as they gather in the Publications Room to discuss the Iatest school news and findings 01 the assigned reporters. Directly across are seated Eleanor Bartos, the assistant editor and Gerry Parpart, the editor of The Casmirette. F reedom of Speech Press Assembly The school band is not only a very vital part of our music department, but a real asset to school spirit and public gatherings. The blend of instrumental and vocal talent as illustrated by the school assembly makes for a very harmoni- ous living. Many were the discusions 0! vi- tal world problems in the Ameri- can History class. Formal pan- els and debates showed many logical thinkers and line leader- ship in the ballotcholders of to- marrow. giiuxmgk-MM. ?7 ; 44744711121. . 4,74 . . ?im 4 i ., 44441144 4444444474.. .54512434; ! lmU'S Cas w ,, , . , , .. , ,. . , ... . . . .

Crescents In Action The Crescent cagers, under the capable training of coach Tony Zientarski, ended the season by surpassing last year,s record with a .500 percentage. The outstanding game of the year came when the quintet upset St. Patrick, the lead- ing contender to the West Side Champion- ship, by a good margin, 49-36. Due credit must be given to the whole team for its fighting spirit. No matter what the scoreewhether they won or losteuphold- ing the ideals of the St. Casimir athletes, our Crescents have been faithful, loyal and de- pendable sportsmen athletes. Their motto- ttFight hard until the last whistle, but always fight clean? has really been put into practice by them. Varsity Team-Top row, R. to L.: A Wondo- Iowski, A. Zakolowski, W. Nowakowski, J.

For the second consecutive year they have won recognition for being unbeatable and thus winning the C. Y. 0. League Championship for the West Side. Fine sportsmanship, great ability and close-knit team work have helped to win this impressive record for the girls. The for- wardst excellent shooting and the guards blocking are some of the things that put the team in hrst place. Behind this is the three years hard work of Mrs. Bernice Klein, as the girls, coach. It was through her understanding, patience and teaching that such success was possible. Among these outstanding players are four graduating seniors Rita Turczyn, Christine Matey, Gene- vieve Potochick and Mary Ann Sandecki. Varsity TeameTop row: D. Garcia, F. Kwiatkowska, P.

H. proved almost as exciting as the varsity league games. Divided into eight teams efour for the girls and four for the boys, the teams played against each other in their own group. Under the direction of the Student Council varsity mem- bers the games showed the Sen- ior Girl Sextet and the Senior Boy Quintet undefeated for the season. The basketball tournaments at the end of the season, among the all-stars from each team and between the winners and the varsity, proved particularly po- pular and thrilling. S-t-r-i-k e I Play Ball ! Saint Casimir High School is for- tunate that a bowling alley is spon- sored by the Parish. Here teams of bowlers from the Juniors and Seniors tried their mettle and gained much experience. The Seniors who were out- standing in this sport proved to have quite a number of faithful bowling fans. A large number of hopefuls and sev- eral athletic-minded Crescents turned out early in the spring in order to be - eligible for the baseball team. Coached by Ed Zelek, an outstanding player from the St. Louis Browns, a final slate of players was eventually made. The hopes of each of the players are high for a championship this year and if hitting improves, their hopes may be more than realized. Raring to go, the team must wait for better weather.

We must go out into life with its glamor, its opportunities, its problems and tiresome confusion. Un- certainties bewilder us, but the high standards of Christian training and the ideals with which we have been enriched at St. Casimir High strengthen us. With grateful appreciation for the friend- ships, understanding and patience of our teachers, and the loyalty of our classmates, we dare to go forth-ready to face the world. The spirit and zeal of youth beckon to us. Farewell, St. Casimir High! Farewell, Treasured Alma Mater! Four years have gone into the past To stand there side by sidee With other years and other days That we recall With pride. Now, we dorf t ask that you record In letters large and bold Our deeds and acts at S. C. High To tarnish and grow cold. But as school days pass away. And your garden of memories grows full, With thoughts of friends and happy times That you have spent in school. In some obscure corner, Please leave a tiny space .
