Justin, but the passage of time has served only to make us aware of the accomplishments of the founder of St. Francis High School. Born one of twelve children of a mining family, his humble beginning gave no indica- tion of the stature he was to attain in the spiritual world. Ordained in 1910, he was but thirty-seven years of age when elected Minister Provincial of St. Anthony of Padua Province. Declining higher positions in the Gen- eral Curia in Rome, Fr. Justin carried out the largest expansion program in the history of the Province. Motivated by the traditional spirit of the Franciscan Order, he set out to provide educational facilities for the youth he always loved. His first and foremost under- taking was St. Francis High School, St. Hyacinth Sem- inary in Granby, Mass., and the Order's novitiate and mission house in Ellicott City, Md., followed in quick succession. In 1929 Fr. Justin initiated the world famous Rosary Hour,', still heard by five million listeners. During World War II Fr. Justin traveled to the Balkans and the British Isles at the requests of several govern- ments. In his last years he sparked a local multi-million hospital drive and witnessed the erection of a gym and dormitory at St. Francis. His greatness was lost in the simplicity of his ways, but the institutions he founded will remain a living test- ament to his unbounding zeal both to his fellow man and the Franciscan Order. Corpus Christi Church-scene of the funeral rites. Fr. Justin's Rosary Hour broadcasts oj7en origi noted from this magnificent Franciscan church. 5 Bishop Burke of Buffalo incenses the coffin assisted by members of the Franciscan Order. Over 15,000 persons flea' passed the bier to bid a final farewell to the humble Friar. Neither rain nor cold prevented the faithful to attend the funeral rites. Those unable to find a place within tl1e Church stood patiently outside in the damp weather. The saddened congregation included the entire student body of St. Francis High School. K . . thousands witness harm! of devoted priest and friend A final tribute was paid to Fr. Justin when nearly 3,000 friends and followers attended the Solemn Mass of Requiem offered by the Most Rev. Joseph A. Burke, Bishop of Buffalo, at Corpus Christi Church. They filled the pews and overflowed into the aisles, the vesti- bule, the choir loft, and onto the steps leading to the church. The congregation included over 200 priests and religious from various parts of the nation. A particularly touching part of the ceremony was the singing of The Rosary by the boys' choir of St. Fran- cis High School. The religious hymn was Fr. Justinls favorite and opened all the Sunday broadcasts to his vast audience. Fr. Justin was laid to rest in a special plot in St. Stan- islaus Cemetery reserved for members of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual. May the all-merciful Lord grant his soul the eternal rest he so richly deserved. hands and want to And I labored with my laborg and I firmly want all the rest of my brothers to labor at work that is honorable for the sake of good example. Testament of St. Francis Fa ulty 7 P I Y The Franciscan Order is like the Church because there is room for every type of person. The altar, pul- pit and desk tell an incomplete history of the Friar, for he does not fulfill his vocation merely by teaching and preaching. The simple study of a Friarls hands relates a story which outdistances the scope of human vision. Revealed is a way of life together with its unique ideal -both outlined by St. Francis in his precisely worded exhortations. The hands portray a man of good discre- tion, of good fame, devoid of particular affectionsg a man of patience and charity, caring for the simple and unlearned as well as the gifted and wiseg a man able to discover secrets of consciences and to draw truth from hidden sourcesg a man to be feared, yet loved by those who fear himg and above all a man who is a friend of prayer. This is the genuine Franciscan vocation-the real Work of the Franciscan hands-to lead others to heaven according to the Rule and spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. l l 2 v, .

His expe- rience in guiding souls makes him eminently qualified in so delicate a work. The Franciscan teacher is able to offer his students the same counsel and advice which he himself received from his Holy Founder. I am will- ing, wrote St. Francis, that after the example of Christ, of Whom we read that He prayed more than He read, they never omit the practice of prayer. And let them not study only that they may know how to speak, but that they may practice what they learn, and that when they have done this, they may propose it for the practice of others. I wish them to advance in the knowl- edge of truth and at the same time to increase in holy simplicity, that thus they may not separate the pru- dence of the serpent from the simplicity of the dove, which the greatest of Masters with His blessed lips has commanded us to unitef' SC GLA TICS SCIENCE Fr. Fanslin instructs chemist Lou Kopcinski in one of the many thoroughly enlightening lab classes. With his Junior physicists watching the pump create a vacuum, Fr. Lawrence traces Ihe falling mercury. The most fascinating room in rhe school-the Biology Lab. Fr. Felix explains the cross-section of a stem, while W. Andzel, E. Obijiski, T. No- lan, and J.

KW I0 the Mlflgflff qi Nature It takes but a short time before the young freshman converses in terms of test tubes and Bunsen burners, and in the years that follow such expressions as amoe- ba and hydra, ohm and watt, neutron and proton will naturally creep into his daily student discussions. Source of this increase of knowledge is the school's line science course which includes General Science, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Of far more importance to the student than all the scientific data received in his studies is the incontro- vertible proof above man's discoveries, inventions and research stands Divine Providence-constantly reveal- ing more of His Creation, the surface of which still re- mains to be scratched. An inside job by L. Kllczmarski, D. Stock and R. Korrzo wicz. My, but Ilzat is a striking resemblance of Venus cle Milo 47 5 Y -gg ,F cg ! Now listen, De Santis! How could you ever translate using the indicative in a condition contrary to fact? Pardon, Father? FOREIG LANGUA GE5 Promotes World U nderftandin cg The need for unity among the nations of the world is pointed up no more acutely than by the swift progress of our modern age. The most distant people can become as close and neighborly as the resi- dents of our own towns. To speak a foreign tongue has become a necessity for a purer understanding of the various cultures, races and nationalities. It is up to the language student to grasp the seriousness of his study and to recognize in it his greatest opportunity and asset for the spread of the ideals in his way of life. 48 These Russian dailies have the strangest headlines. J. Dwyer and S. Ziolkowski follow the latest doings of Comrade Snujfy Smith. Mes amis, je ne doute pas de votre bonne foip mais croyez-moi, vous vous trompezf' M. Stefanik, F. Jedry- chowski and E. Rockwitz try a bit of conversational French in the lab. E GLIH Fr. Andrew coaches Jack Dwyer in the final run before the oratorical competitions. The Odds are ahead of the Evens in Fr. Marionis English class. The losers are jugged from three to five. 4 14.2 J ,flfl itll ht With the aid of student-made models, Fr. Chris explains the Legg see-two Cents a day from March 12, 1957? details of Shakespeare's Globe Theater. Correo' Uifes Are fmfaluahle Sound English is not the fruit of a single book report or composition. It is a structure built after years of applied designing with the purpose of producing citizens trained in the arts of speaking and writing. There is no sadder plight than that of the individual unable to express his best plans and arguments in clear, concise English. By read- ing the works of the great literary minds together with the application of classroom theory, every person has the opportunity to reap the harvest of a fertile mind and make his contributions to society. MA THEMA TICS Proving a line is perpendicular to a plane. Fr. Rnfinns reviews tlze theorem with T. Compisi, F. Zazycki and E. Boclttch. Natzbn Meds Able Mads Subjects like Elementary Algebra, and Maths X, XI, XII look cold and uninspiring in the class schedule, but to the earnest individual they may well be the steps toward a highly successful career. Recent technical strides have placed a great demand for the trained Math student. Necessity has become the gateway for numerous opportunities in an ever increasing field of careers-ranging from the private repair man to the builder of America's mightiest missiles. Exam time-the air was so thick with knowledge, you could practically cnt it with a knife. The sweating and squirming take place in the gym. Fr. Maurice explains the hyperbola to a group of his Math Xl SfIlllCl1fS1.,. Ziemha, J. Tokasz, and E. Knwik. Freshmen display their skill in factoring during Fr. Chris' Algebra class. HISTOR Y The Sophomore Religion class gets a closer look at the Mass vestmezzts from Fr. Adrian. REL! G10 The administration of St. Francis believes in the premise that it must prepare its students for the tasks that lie ahead in life and hercaftcrg that it must imbue them with a Christian Catholic way of life. All efforts are directed toward this end in the hope that the reli- gious education may serve as their guide in separating good from bad, right from Wrong, and truth from false- hood. The history of the United States is the brightest chap- ter in the story of the World. But any orderly under- standing must necessarily begin with the Old World. This is the purpose of the history course-to present the dependence and independence of both worlds in relation to today's problems.

He is able to see something of himself in these actions, some- thing so very real, something to idolize. Therein lies the beauty of an athlete. Knowingly or not, he is a leaderg not just on the field or court, but of every boy who watches him. He is for the most part ignorant of the great potential in the great power he now wields. His every action on or off the held becomes a standard to which his colleagues turn. Yet, he above all needs the guidance of a seasoned veteran-at St. Francis, again, the hands of the Franciscan Friar. The athlete is taught to live according to his rules and commands. Should hc fail, no matter how gifted he be, he has no right to represent the school. He is ground without end and is expected to develop the virtues of courtesy, fair play, perseverance, punctuality, humility and, above all, obedience. It is impossible to assimilate these traits within a yearg it is a long and hard process. But only when they do become as intimate a part of himself as his very. name, may he admit to being an athlete-an honored representative of his school and a tried and proven model student to his classmates.

Team Facea' Hara' Season Bat Gaznea' Valuable Experience If the success or failure of a football season is to be measured solely by the statistics in the won-lost column, the 1960 Red Raiders had little to boast about. Wincing under a two-live record, the St. Francis gridders also failed for the third consecutive year to regain the 4'TomahaWk'l from their traditional Franciscan rivals, the Ryan Rams. To maintain, however, the spirited desire to Win, to advance in physical and mental alertness, to gain valuable skill and experience is just as important as victory itself. It will be a strengthened and sobered squad reporting this September-ready and capable of prov- ing their true mettle, eager to give Coach Cy Palumbo and his assist- ants the satisfaction of directing a winning team, and dedicated to bask in the same honors as the great St. Francis teams of the past. 56 Rea' Raiders in Aman Leaping Tony Cornpisi grabs this Ryan pass right out of the hands of the intended receiver. ! 1' V ' l Xhgyfg 1,90ftM-PP A host of tacklers and blockers converge on this power play.

For what else makes a boy beam with pride after a congratulatory handclasp with his Prefect, save the manifestation of a deeply rooted love? What pushes a student to redouble his efforts after a pat on the back? Again, a mutual love. The efforts performed for others, the help extended to the sick and injured-all entail the use of his hands in a labor of love. Love teaches a boy to show charity to others in all his works, to be kind, polite, considerate to all, especially those advanced in age, merit and position. Nurtured on this heavenly food, he realizes there is no room for gloom in whatever he does. His asso- ciations start to breathe with a healthy relaxation, innocent fun and the give and take of humorous quips. Even the daily routine becomes human and attractive. He has learned to live with others in the spirit and joy of St. Francis who wrote so vividly: Wherever the brothers are located or meet, they should act like members of one family. Grganizations .... THIRD URDER fntfettztare Rites Perjhrmed hy Father Prawnczaf St. Francis was destined by God to re- form not only his turbulent age but Chris- tian society of all times. In the past seven hundred years the meaning of the great blessings derived from St. Francis has never at any time or place been forgotten or erased. Included among the thousands in the course of the centuries who have chosen the Poor Man from Assisi as their father and leader are the adults and Father Provincial distributes the scapulars and cords to the new candi dates. youths in his mighty Third Order who in their daily secular tasks try to resemble him as much as possible by applying the principles of the Gospels in their lives as he did. Fred Zazycki leads the discussion in one of the seminars conducted by the Third Order. Explaining the meaning of the three knots on the Franciscan cord is the moderator of the Third Order, Father Louis. 74 The Student Council listens to a few words of wisdom from Fr. Pacific. UNIOR RED CR OSS The St. Francis delegation has been attending the monthly meetings of the Junior Red Cross for the past fifteen years. These informative and entertaining gath- erings always feature a guest speaker whose pointed topics soon become the center of many student dis- cussions. Checking the program before the school assembly are the ofjicers of the K.M.I. and their Moderator. STUDE T COUNCIL Representing all four classes, the Student Council presents the views and requests of the pupils to the school faculty. Promoting a keener interest and participa- tion in student activities is the chief aim of the organization. Busy in the library, C. Eberhardt and J. Clzristian prepare their discussion for the next Red Cross meeting. KMI Founded by the saintly Father Maximillian Kolbe, O.F.M. Conv., the world wide membership known as the Knights of Mary Immaculate is the only activity which prides itself in having the entire school in its en- rollment. All members are encouraged to live their daily lives under the guiding intiuence of the Blessed Mother, stressing above all her great intercessory power in the eyes of her Divine Son. Fr. Paul was available at all times for personal interviews. Here he is engaged in a group discussion with S. Surowiec, E. Nowak, S. Galek, J. Tokasz and S. Aszkler. Moral Goals Reafjirmea' Our overdue accounts with God were settled im- mediately following the January examinations. Con- ducting the annual retreat was Father Paul Kozikow- ski, O.F.M. Conv., class of 738 and former First Infan- try army chaplain. The three days were packed with solid religious exercises highlighted by Fr. Missionary's series of pointed conferences. The benefits of these recollections cannot be measured in terms of instant success or failureg it takes time for the seeds of God's word to germinate. Of this we can be sure-we paused to do a bit of reflective thinking and solidified the flbers of our spiritual backbone. F The schedule provided ample time for seeking spiritual counsel in the confessional. Annual floafztaal Retreat Reflections on tlze Divine Passion are led by Fr. Urban. Adora- tion of the Most Blessed Sacrament continued throughout the day.

Fifteen thousand of the faithful crammed into every conceiv- able space in the vast hall. The myriad colors and lights reflected in the various garbs of the religious orders together with the magnificent floats which de- picted the mysteries of the Rosary produced a specta- cle as soul stirring as one could ever witness.

Cornelian Dende, O.F.M.Conv. A former Master of Novices and Clerics in the Franciscan Seminaries, Fr. Cornelian's back- ground includes a vital role in the services of the Inter-Catholic Press Agency. A native of Scranton, Pennsylvania, the new voice of the Rosary Hour comes from a family steeped in newspaper work for two generations. The broadcasts originate from the high school chapel. Assisting Fr. Cornelian is Dr. J. Graczyk, the announcer. The FA THER fUSTI ROSAR Y HOUR Father Hyacinth Rosinke, O.F.M.Conv. Coming to the United States at the start of World War II, Fr. Hyacinth served the faithful in various assignments along the Eastern coast before his appointment to the Rosary Hour Staff this past November. An expert linguist with a sunny personality, he has already graced the make-up of the program with many inval- uable contributions. Radio flpostolate Continues to Thrwe With the passing of Fr. Justin, the work which he di rected so zealously for close to thirty years has passed on to the Very Rev. Cornelian Dende, O.F.M. Conv. The burden of conducting the largest foreign language broadcast is not an easy task. Carried by seventy-nine stations in the United States and Canada with an esti- mated audience of over five million, the Rosary Hour demands every bit of attention on the part of its direc- tors. Playing an integral role in the Weekly preparation is the expert assistance of Father Hyacinth Rosinke, O.F.M.Conv. Father Felix Mazur, O.F.M.Conv., is the able business manager and network'announcer for the program. The twenty-six broadcasts are still carried on in the traditions of its founder who especially treas- ured the letters from the common folk. To this date no letter is left unansweredg no problem is too inconse- quential to solve. May the Lord continue to bless the etforts of the Rosary Hour and grant it a numberless years of continued prosperity in its apostolate. R Nowicki receives the Friar's habit in a ceremony rich with Franciscan tradition. Father Provincial Ojiczates The second annual investiture cere- mony of the Minor Seminarians was held on the Feast of the Immaculate Concep- tion. Seven youths received the Francis- can habit from the hands of the Very Rev. George Roskwitalski, Minister Pro- vincial of St. Anthony of Padua Pro- vince. In a paternal conference following the rites, the young Ufratinii' were ex- horted to develope a special love for the Order, its saints, and symbols and to re- alize the great opportunity for exercising zeal and heaping up rewards in the framework of obedience. SEMI ARIANS Assisted by the Fathers of the faculty, Father Provincial prays for divine guidance at the outset of the services. The joy of the investiture is reflected in the smiles of the youngest mem- bers of the community in this group pose with Father Provincial and his assistants. 80 Players Stage 'Brother Orcbzdv In its own small way, the high school produc- tion does resemble the great Broadway play. It includes the dreary weeks of preparation and study, the near monotonous practices, and the opening night jitters. The applause and curtain calls, however, are but part compensation for the many hours spent at hard work. Of more impor- tance is the acquisition of dramatic skills such as public speaking, poise, balance and the more per- sonal traits of self confidence, courage and deter- mination. The Spring presentation of the Dramat- ics Club was Brother Orchid, a three act com- edy. Staged under Fr. Louis, direction, the play evinced a few pleasant surprises both in ability and talent.

Without people both are mazes of lifeless struc- turesg with life they vibrate in the strains of every- day human drama. Again, without the printed word these lives become lonely and desolateg with it they breathe a lively and gay fellowship, The Red and White Banner, the supervised student newspaper at St. Francis, is the bond which unites all ideas and activities running their course in the school year and instills in its readers a sense of pride for the accomplishments of the student body. The staif of the Banneri' has with- in its grasp the potential not only of producing this refined school spirit but also of teaching itself the responsibilities of honest leadership. First to see their work in print were the Banner work- ers. Mr. Halizak passes out their copies. l MODEL UNITED A TIO 5 R6f6latzan5 VW!!

At times it did seem discour- aging, but we never lost the spark which pushed us on. And we did meet our deadlineg and the book was printed. The Class of 1960 leaves St. Francis with this edition. Without a doubt it could be bigger and betterg yet we feel that we have captured within these few pages to the best of our abilities the heart and core of the past school year. If, after the passage of time, we are able to wipe the dust from its cover and relive the memories of our Senior year with a genuine nostalgia, then will we know that we have produced a work surpassing our fondest hopes-a book in which we can ever be boys again.
