I The Senior Class of 1955 of ST. FERDINAND HIGH SCHOOL Ferdinand, Indiana The Reverend David Duesing, O. S. B., pastor of St. Ferdinand Congregation and Superintendent of St. Ferdinand High School at Ferdinand, Indiana. It is but fitting that we, the Class of 1955, dedicate this Annual to FATHER DAVID, our pastor, superintendent, and friend, through whose untiring and often thankless efforts St. Ferdinand High School became a reality. Through years of work and worry, the great enter- prise was accomplished. Because of the huge debt, additional years of the same are his burden. St. Ferdinand High School will be a last- ing monument to the courage and zeal of Father David. APPRECIATION We, the Class of '55 of St. Ferdinand High School, wish to ex- press our appreciation and deepest gratitude to Father David, our superintendent; Sister Frederica, our principal; to all members of the Faculty of S. F. H. S., and to our Parents. May God reward you abun- dantly! The Most Reverend Henry J. Grimmelsman, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Evansville, presenting the first 1955 diploma to Anthony Auffart, first in alphabetical order and pro- claimed First Citizen of the Class of '55.

NOW, that our baby-days were over, we began a new chapter of our very important existence. Most of us entered the Ferdinand Consolidated School as first-graders. A few, or rather about one-fourth of the class, spent their first day away from home and mother in one of the elementary schools of neighboring towns. Some of us remember how terrible it was and how long the day, but most of us have had so many things to remember that the earlier impressions have been blotted out or dimmed. From one grade to the next and on until the final eighth grade examination which gave us our passport to high school. Where would we go to continue oiir education? For those of us who lived in St. Ferdinand Parish, this was not a big question; for St. Ferdinand High was now actually there and ready to receive us--its first Freshman class. Children from neighboring towns and schools had received their high school work at Huntingburg, Dale, Oil Township, Bristow, Birdseye, Jasper, and a few at the Academy Immaculate Conception at Ferdinand. For these, a decision had to be made, and happily there were fourteen in-coming F reshmen from these parts. Looking back to September, 1951, we see ourselves, the first Freshman class of St. Ferdinand High School, a very important group of scholarly and handsome lads and lassies--at least we think so. Our parents were very happy tohave the opportunity of starting us in a Catholic high school so that our education for soul as well as for body--the spiritual as well as the intellectual--could continue to grow without interruption. One great advantage which we had was the privilege of attending daily Holy Mass if we wished to do so. We realize now to our regret, that we did not prize this great grace as we should have. There will come times when we would like ever so much to be present at Holy Mass, but it will be impossible. The newly constructed St. Ferdinand High School opened its doors to us fifty-six Freshmen, and thirty sophomores; the latter having been collected from the various high schools mentioned above. Forty- two Freshies were home folks, eleven came from St. Meinrad, two from Fulda, and one from St. Henry. We were positively confused, walking around in a daze most of the time those first few days. There seemed to be no end to the bells; hour after hour, bells, bells, bells. And every bell meant a different teacher. How could we ever remember them all? The faculty under whose teaching, guidance, and supervision we were to begin our new “era” consisted of: Father David, Superintendent: Sister Priscilla, Principal; and teachers were: Fathers Edwin and Prosper; Sisters Aurelia, Acquina, and Josepha;Mrs. Marie Senninger and Mr. Mark LaGrange. The interesting (at times) and confused (at times) faces into which this group of teachers had to look day after day appear at this point in our history to help you and us remember that glorious Freshman year. Our Sophomore year brought greater variety in our numbers, with five dropouts and five newcomers, leaving us yet fifty-six. We found quite a change in our faculty: Sister Frederica was our new principal, and Sister Mary Kenneth and Father Ambrose replaced Sister Acquina and Father Prosper. Three new teachers were added to fill the needs of our fast growing institution: Sister Mary Carmin, Mr. Omer Le- Clere, and Miss Matricia Scott. The latter three took over the three new departments added this year: commerce, industrial arts, and girls athletics. We were beginning to have real organization now, and our opportunities grew with the expanding curriculum. As Juniors we were expected to grow up and to do things. We did both. On Passion Sunday we staged a play, 44 Who’s Running This World?” produced and executed under the direction of Father Ambrose, our Religion teacher. There was some change in the faculty: Sister Valeria, Sister Therese, Mr. Rex Courtney, and Miss Vaneda Ridenour joined the staff; and Sister Kenneth dropped out. The school enrollment had now mounted from 86 (1951) to 188 (1953.) Our class lost six students and gained one. The high-light of this Junior year was, without a doubt, the Junior-Senior prom--the first for St. Ferdinand High School; but not the first in S.F.H.S. (for in the spring of 1952 the AIC girls held their prom here. That was the first and only AIC prom.) Resurrected after a long summer vacation, fifty of the original and added bright-eyed and intelligent Freshmen came back to rule in their capacity of Seniors. One of the group, Gladys Schlachter, did not return to S.F.H.S., for she had answered the call, ‘‘Come, follow Me!” and is preparing to be received into the Benedictine Order as novice May 31. The vacancy was filled by a lovely little girl from Schnellville. Again, a few faculty changes: Mr. Kessans replaced Mr. LeClere; Mr. Snyder took over Social Studies; Sister Damian, Home Economics, leaving the door open for Science courses to Sister Josepha; Miss Meneghel was the new teacher of girls athletics. The outstanding activities of our senior year were: the senior festival, senior play, and the never-to-be-forgotten prom featuring ‘‘Star Dust, and above all the Graduation High Mass and Commencement. LOOKING FORWARD Recently I had been given a most delightful assignment. The Dubois County Daily Herald wanted a study made of all Dubois County High School graduates of the Class of ’55. I applied, and was given the task to get an account of all the graduates of that year from St. Ferdinand High School. Although ten years older, I’m still a good walker. So I started my voyage on foot, having sent on my baggage to the Evansville Airport. Before I had climbed the Temple hill, who should come along but our good old faithful chauffeur, Ralph Mullis, headed for the Airport to pick up Irene Bolte, just flown in from California. With a bit of persuasion, I got Ralph to take me for half fare. If airplanes were not furnished with safety belts, I might have ended my journey as soon as I was seated. What do you know! Mrs. Jerry Richey came sailing through the aisle, stewardess on the plane. She had relieved Irene for this trip. When she told me that Harold Egler was the pilot--well, remember those cute turns he used to make up by the flag-pole??? Marilyn came by every little while all the way to Washintgon, D.C., to tell me a bit of news, and I learned a lot. Arriving in the great city, I looked for my hotel. The following morning, John Laake, our Congress- man, met me to show me Washington. That night he took me to a meeting of top scientists at which Larry Backer was the main speaker. He and his confreres were trying to disprove Einstein’s theory of relativity. This, I found most interesting. But there was more to come. Washington was in an uproar as Harold Kempf, Chief of the F.B.I., was closing the dragnet on a nation-wide crime syndicate, spotted by Fritz Fleig. The chief having found refuge in the Florida Everglades, was spotted by Fritz and reported to the F.B.I. Harold invited me to accompany him to the scene; so I took my first ride in a new U.S. Air Force Jet-o- Liner--the pilot, Arthur Oser. We touched down at Miami, and were met by State Police Chief, Roger Quante. There was much business for our F.B.I. and Co. which gave me time to “do the town.” I managed to procure the address of Florida’s largest citrus fruit grower, Eugene Schwindel. For once, I got my fill of grapefruit. Gene’s efficient secretary, Shirley Schnell, was given the afternoon off to take care of me. Just as we were leaving the groves, along came Donnie Hoppenjans with little Donnie. There were four little “Hopps” and Don believes in getting them started (towork) early. Shirley showed me a picture of her little Darlene (Olinger, of course.) She says life is wonderful in Florida. Gene yelled after us to be sure to stop at Jerome Vaal’s mansion. Talk about the “idle rich.’ Vaal was preparing to attend a diving contest in which Lennie Fischer was favored to win. Shirley and I were invited to dinner (not supper) at 8, when Roger and Gene would join us. (Naturally, poor little “Hoppie’ had to hurry home to look after his little “Hoppers. But he and the Mrs. joined us at dinner. My! talk about food! It was terrific to such a frugal eater as myself. A big surprise awaited us. Roger had his man, none other than Bobo (Robert Mohr.) Having been apprehended as an unknown member of the crime ring, Bobo at once sought sanctuary with his good friend and protector. Police Chief Quante, and promised to tell everything. Instead of returning with Harold, I took passage on a coastal liner to New York. The ship captain, Ralph Bettag, informed me that there was to be an entertainment by some of our former pals. Earl Kempf and Tommy Hoffman were putting on a trapeze act, followed by a musical program featuring Rita Ann Welp, accomplished pianist, Peggy Schnieders, soprano artist, and Elsie Meyer, renowned dramatist. Their manager was none other than Leonard Kitten. While strolling on the deck later, I chanced to see two fellows shooting dice. Sure enough! they’re still at it. Our two old-time jackpot-hitters, Eugene M. and LeRoy McKittrick, were busy clicking the little white cubes. I was refreshed when I reached New York. While there, I had the opportunity of witnessing a big love triangle with Mitzie as defendant in the case. Her attorney, Daniel Holzman, filed charges against Stanley Tillman and Francis Kloeck for tampering with her affections. During the trial, the attorney fainted, and a police woman, Betty Durcholz, called in the nurse, Rebecca Becher, who revived him. Rita Olinger, now a rich society woman by the name of Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III, had arranged to meet me for a tour of Radio City. Just then, Joe Knust’s “Strike It Rich’ program was coming on the air. Joe always a nice and obliging fellow. He held the program for my entry; and believe it or not, I hit the jack-pot for a cool $10,000. What a life! After leaving New York, I had planned to meet Rita Oeding Jacob at the Turnpike just before entering Philadelphia. There she was, high up on the seat of an enormous truck. Rita was a truck driver for Trans- continental Truck Lines, Inc., owned by herself and Eugene A. Gehlhausen. I missed E. A., but had a lovely visit with his charming wife, the former Mary Lee Olinger. Mary Lee, Rita, and I had lunch together in a Chinese restaurant. By the way, Rita uses her maiden name in her business, but she is happily married to Gerald Jacob, a junk dealer. Gerald has his shop at the home; so he can take care of the kids, says Rita, while I work, you see. IT’S A GREAT LIFE! REMEMBER? Oh yes, wheeling along the Turnpike, we stopped at “Happy Jack’s 66 Station” for gas. Who should come out to greet us but our dear friend, Kenny Bolte, sole proprietor of a super-super gas station. He looked good and he looked prosperous, standing 285 lbs. on the hoof. After filling the tank, Kenny insisted that we come in for “a bite to eat.” Eat again! Why, Kenny, I just couldn’t! But we did. And we had the surprise of finding Rose Marie Homey and Mary Ann Rupprecht, who served us a most delicious drink (probably sneaking in a little Scotch by Kenny’s orders) and an enormous banana-split. The treat was on Kenny, of course. It would have been grand to stay on, but I had to be off. My next stop was Pittsburgh, with plane reservations for Reno, Nevada. A short stop-over in Chicago afforded another surprise. Jimmie Leinenbach and Barbara Hoffman were at the airport taking off for Niagara Falls, Canada,and Washington, D.C. Jimmie said, “We didn’t make it in ’55, but you bet your life we’re getting to see Washington in 65. And how! Why don’t you do your honeymoon over, Sarah, and come along? Wire the old man to meet you at Niagara Falls. It’s a great life!” Having arrived in Reno, my excitement grew when I chanced upon Delphine Denning playing the roulette wheel in the famous hang-out, “Silver Dollar.” Delphine had come a long way from the demure, shy senior of ’55. But she had a good reason for being in Reno. She was there to help a friend who had sued for a divorce from a “lover-husband of one day”--the girl having learned that he was not only a gangster, but that he had two living wives. Delphine was able to persuade her friend to get rid of him and go back to St. Meinrad with her. Then they would both look around for some eligible bachelors, of whom there were yet a few in southern Indiana. Maybe they could go back to Reno after launching one apiece, and play the roulette some more. Well, this was a full day, I must say! The next day I just rested and loafed. An unusual advertisement attracted me. Upon close observation, I learned that Anthony Auffart, movie director from Hollywood, was shooting a desert scene. Edna Mae Begle was the star in the picture which had to do about a love affair in the background, but was designed to show up the work of the missionaries among the Navajo Indians. In the picture were two more of our classmates (probably the luckiest of the lot,) Sister Mary Davidica (Marlene Jasper) and Sister Fredilia (Gladys Schlachter), both meYnbers of the Ferdinand Community of Benedictines. They had volunteered to go out west with two other Sisters and Sister Frederica (as superior) to start a new foundation to work among the Navajos. All of us, Edna Mae, Delphine, Anthony, and I, went to see the little convent and to visit with Sister Frederica and Gladys and Marlene. Ten years sure didn’t do much damage to Sister Frederica. She hadn’t changed a bit. Gladys and Marlene looked more sedate in their Benedictine habits, of course, but they, too, were as jolly and cheerful as ever. That too, must be a GREAT LIFE! This very interesting bit of experience at the end of my journey gave me a different outlook on life. You just couldn’t guess how it affected me. So I’ll tell you. I split my fortune--the $10,000, quickly before I’d have time to change my mind. I sent $5,000 to the struggling Navajo Mission and the other $5,000 we (Dennis and I) will use to renovate our cottage on the Bretzville Highway. Do come to see us. I hope you are as happy as we are.

Every day the three children were in their places during the services and at various times they were a part of the pageant, riding on the beautiful float of Our Lady and marching in processions. Truly a great event, inspiring and beautiful. SISTER MARY CARMIN S.F. H. S. SISTER MARY CARMEL A.I.C.
