First Graduating Class of 'f f, St. Francis de Sales High School Toledo, Ohio Presents . . . THE HCCULHDE UF 1958 On September 14, 1955, St. Francis de Sales High School opened its doors for the first time. The build- ing wasn't finished, there wasn't any grass around, and for that matter there weren't even any desks. But to 290 anxious freshmen and sophomores nothing seemed hard. We met the Oblate Fathers who were going to be our teachers and found that, besides wanting us to wear coats and ties, they also believed in homework. We learned about St. Francis de Sales and the Direction of Intention. We've had the chance to develop good habits of prayer through regular masses and other devotions. In class, we've had a thorough preparation for college, with stress on the sciences and languages. Our school symbol is the Knight, and we have a mascot, Foggy Knight. Athletically we have varsity teams in football, basket- ball, and tennis, with also a full program of intra- mural sports for everybody. Along with the teams, there have been plenty of rallies, parades, and just plain cheering. The band has always contributed much to our spirit. On stage we've had serious drama, farce, and variety shows. Among our more delightful memories are the dances and prorns. Well, now it's all over for the class of '58. The medieval Knights received an accolade, a sign that they had finished their training successfully: this is the ACCOLADE for the class of 1958. Because we've been asked so many questions about our school, we've made it up in the form of a picture story. So,THIS St. . . .

The measure of our gratitude to you grows with the recognition of the tremendous debt we owe to you. Uur school had its very beginning in your desire that a college preparatory school for boys be established in the diocese of Toledo. It was at your invitation that the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales accepted the administration of St. Francis. With your ready consent and interested support, the drive for funds was launched and completed. Your participation in the ceremonies of dedication and blessing of the school structure hon- ored us and lent to that occasion becoming dignity. During these three years we have been aware of your attention to the growth and development of St. Francis. We look forward now to the privileged moment when we receive our own accolade from your hand. We pledge to you complete obedience, constant loyalty, and filial reverence. Through the intercession of our own Bishop-patron, we beg for you the graces demanded by your exalted ofiqce. Please accept our grateful homage. 4 THE CLASS OF 1958 A ' 1 af l T11 ,- ,fm J X fl.: W!

FRANCIS The Very Rev. William A. Stahl, O.S.F.S. And to Father William Stahl we wish to offer LADE as a symbol of for his devoted labors the Catholic youth of der Father Stahl the the ACCO- our gratitude on behalf of Toledo. Un- Oblates First came to Toledo in 1943 as mem- bers of the faculty of Central Cath- olic High School. Then in 1947 Father Stahl founded Camp De- Sales, and upon completing his term as Superior he went to Detroit where in 1950 he founded Salesian High School. Father Stahl returned to Toledo to serve in his present po- sition as the founding pastor of St. Pius X Parish. ln the fund-raising campaign preceding the construc- tion of St. Francis, Father acted as honorary co-chairman. At present he is a member of the Oblate Provincial Council. St. Francis had its real beginning with the arrival of Father Stahl in Toledo. His energetic labors, pro- viding abundant example of the in- terest of the Oblate Fathers in the training of boys, resulted Hnally in this line new school. In Father Stahl we see a true model of the prayerful activity characteristic of St. Francis de Sales himself, and through him we wish to thank all of the Oblates who have helped us by their teaching and example. The class of 1958 bows to Father William Stahl in grateful and rev- erent acknowledgement. WVe fer- vently hope that he may remain to enjoy with us the rich fruit of the seed plated by him. St. Francis de Sales, patron of our school and of the Oblate Fathers, was Bishop of the Diocese of Geneva, Switzerland. During his lifetime, he was responsible for the conversion of some seventy thousand, wrote pro- lifically on matters of devotion and founded the Order of the Visitation. The eminence of his writings was recognized when he was declared a Doctor of the Church, and, more recently, as Patron of the Catholic Press. St. Francis is also Patron of the Deaf. Young men can have no better model than that found in his masculine virtue and genuine scholarship. We pray daily that his intercession may bring us closer to Our Divine Lord. ...ak I Law THE GUESTS OF HONOR AT THE CAMPAIGN KICKOFF DINNER HELD IN THE CIVIC AUDITORIUM JUNE Kickoff Dinner at the Civic Auditorium On April 23, 1954-, it was announced that the MORE THAN 900 VOLUNTEER WORKERS ARE PRESENT Oblates of St. Francis de Sales would open a new boys' school in Toledo. A fund-raising campaign, which included more than 900 workers and spear- headed by Father William Stahl, Father John Fuqua and Mr. James Nicholson, began on June , 19, 1954, with a kickoff dinner at Civic Audito- rium. Through the generosity of His Excellency, the Most Rev. George J. Rehring, a site for the new school was acquired on Bancroft Street, west of Parkside Boulevard. Adjacent to the Gesu Par- , ish buildings and the Visitation Monastery and facing Ottawa Park, this area had been described as the best possible school location in Northwest- ern Ohiof, Ground was broken by Father Stahl on October 3, 1954, after which construction pro- gressed rapidly. By late spring, the building was ready for a cornerstone which was laid on May 1 15, 1955, by the Oblate Provincial, Father Wil- liam Buckley. At 9:00 A.M., September 17, 1955, St. Francis de Sales High School opened its doors for the first tirne. l 8 19,1954 FATHER FUQUA, MR. J.

FATHER WILLIAM WARD, our principal, came to Toledo after having been Superior of the Father Judge High School Community in Philadelphia. Father Ward's leadership has been responsible for the high standard estab- lished and maintained at St. Francis during these first three years. His office has always been open to us, and his willing- ness to meet us on our own groundi' inspired confidence and respect. We were very much aware of his interest and enthusiasm for every part of school life. From him we have received a great deal, as much by example as by direction, and we are sincerely grateful. With our gratitude, we offer to Father Ward our prayers and good wishes that St. Francis may enjoy many years of his services. Our Oblate Leaders THE VERY REV. WILLIAM D. BUCKLEY, O.S.F.S., is Provincial of the American Province of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. From his headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, Father Buckley assigns all of the Oblates who teach at St. Francis. Because of the distance involved, we see Father only occasionally, but we are conscious of his interest in us. We are grateful for the opportunity to honor him by including Father Buckley in our yearbook. FATHER JGHN FUQUA, Superior of the Oblate Com- munity at Brisson House, was among the first Oblates to come to Toledo in 1943. Father taught at Central Catholic for twelve years and sewed for several summers as Director of Camp De Sales in Michigan. He was co-chairman of the fund raising drive to build St. Francis, where he teaches Re- ligion to the freshmen and sophomores. Father Fuqua is faculty moderator of the Brisson Association. MR. IVAN CENDESE teaches Latin and English to the sophomores. During football season he coached our freshman team. Mr. Cendese is also in charge of the cheerleaders and assists in the spring sports program. A RENOWNED VISITOR AT ST. FRANCIS WAS FATHER FRANCIS TUCKER, SHOWN WITH FORMER CITY MANAGER JOHN McCARTHY FATHER SALVATORE D,ANGELO is easily recognized as the Director of Ath- letics. His classroom labors are in the field of Mathematics, specifically Plane Geometry. In three years, sports at St. Francis have developed gradually into a well-rounded and well-balanced program providing maximum benehts both to the participants and spectators. This develop- ment was not accidental, but due to the foresight and careful planning of Father D'Angelo. Thanks for your hard work, Father. A FATHER WALTER DEAN is re- sponsible for the high caliber of the Department of Dramatics at St. Francis. Father graduated from the School of Speech and Drama at the Catholic University of America, where his courses included both theory and practice in drama. Be- fore coming to St. Francis, he di- rected at Central Catholic. Father has been chairman of the Cultural Committee of the C.Y.O., and is a board member of the Children's Theater Vforkshop. In the classroom Father Dean teaches English to the underclassmen. MR. ARTHUR EDGERTON, a grad- uate of the Juilliard School of Music has organized our first Glen Club. He teaches regular classes in music, besides appearing regularly on radio, and doing choir work. e FATHER ROBERT FLECKSTEI- NER, a member of the original faculty, taught mathematics and served as School Treasurer. Father was also on the faculty of Central Catholic for several years. Wle are glad to note that he has not gone far from St. Francis, since he is presently assistant pastor of St. Pius X Parish, MR. PAUL GREHL is well remembered from last year as a mathematics teacher and director of intramural sports. At present hc is completing his theological studies at the Oblate Seminary in Hyattsvillc, Maryland. .I ...V E AA, W V- V,,i BROTHER EDWVARD FRAWLEY is a member of the Brisson House Com- munity. We do not see him often enough around St. Francis. However, we are aware of his intercst in us, and we are happy to include him among our mem- ories of school. FATHER PAUL GILLESPIE is among the native Toledoans on the faculty. His teaching hours End him with classes in European history. With Father Cillespic as moderator, our Glee Club has come of age. BAND DIRECTORS CHECK MUSIC SCORES AND NEW FORMATIONS FHE CANDID CAMERA ALLOWS US A GLIMPSE INTO THE FACULTY LOUNGE FATHER FRANCIS GROSS taught Latin and Religion during our First two years at St. Francis. He was our first Student Council moderator, giving that organization the impetus which made it such an important part of school life. Wie remember Father particularly for his keen interest in each of his students. Father Gross is now stationed at the Northeast Catholic High School in Philadelphia. FATHER ROBERT HEALY is an- other member of the faculty who calls Toledo home. Father returned this year from the Father Judge High School in Philadelphia. Freshman Religion and Latin are his present classroom occupa- tions. After school, Father moderates the Student Council, which governs most school activities. The Junior Prom also comes under his direction. FATHER JOSEPH GRIFFIN divides his time between French and Religion classes with our juniors. Linder his guid- ance, our tax stamp drive this year was a huge success. Father Griffin is adept at the Sign Language, and has had ex- perience in working with the deaf, whose patron is our own St. Francis dc Sales. FATHER CHARLES HERKERT was a member of our first faculty, teaching Latin and French. Father received his doctorate at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania and took part in a Latin Wlorkshop at the University of Michigan. As Direc- tor of Activities, he set up a com- plete and varied program at school, and enlivened it with his own en- thusiastic spirit. WN'ith his transfer, St. Francis lost a strong rooter, however we wish him well in his post as professor at the Oblate No- vitiate College at Childs, Maryland. 21 FATHER WIXTED RINGS UP ANOTHER SALE IN THE BOOKSTORE FATHER LOUIS KOMOROWSKI labors in the Biology Lab for the benefit of the sophomores. He received his Master's degree last summer from Catholic Univer- sity and his dissertation has since been published in a scientific quarterly. Father Komorowski is moderator of the De Sales Seminary Associates and the Oblate Parents Guild. FATHER NICHOLAS KOELZER teaches American History, having received a Master's degree in that subject from Villanova University. A part of his research includes co- authoring a workbook in National Problems. Father has the position of school treasurer, and also serves as Director of Activities. FATHER ROBERT HERMLEY teaches Biology and German, but is perhaps better known for his work with the band. In its two years of existence, our band has come to be recognized for its clever and imagina- tive formations, as well as the quality of its music. Father Hermley is responsible for the drills which go into such productions. He also moderates the tennis team. DR. RAYMOND KELDERMANS is our band director and teacher of French. He received his musical training at the Lem- Inensinstitute in Mechelen, Belgium and the-Reichshochschule fur Music in Berlin, Germany. Dr. Keldermans has had exten- sive experience in radio work in Europe, and has given organ recitals in several cities in the United States and Canada. We are fortunate in having so capable a bandmaster. 22 l H F J ' v 1 MR. RICHARD MATTINCLY came to St. Francis last year from Zanesville, Ohio, to coach basketball and supervise gym classes. He is a graduate of Mus- kingum University. Mr. Mattingly easily won favor, both by reason of his coach- ing ability and Zanesville humor. We hope he makes his home in Toledo for many years. FATHER RAYMOND NAVARRE has a busy schedule which includes Physics and Trigonometry with the seniors and algebra with the juniors. Father received his Master's degree in science at Catho- lic University. Besides his teaching du- ties, Father Navarre has the position of treasurer at Brisson House.

FATHER GEORGE PALMER has the important and difficult task of setting up a suitable library at St. Francis. For several summers Father has been taking courses in Library Science at Villanova University. By reason of studies made in Switzerland during his seminary days, he is also well qualified for the teaching of French. Outside of school work, Father Palmer is the chaplain at the Monastery of the Visitation. MR. ROBERT RECKER, our head football coach, teaches World History and Health. Mr. Recker has given us, in a very short time, a team to be proud of, and we appreciate his efforts. He is himself a sterling example of the gentleman-athlete, and we are grateful for his influence and leadership. FATHER MCNAMARA FASCINATES GROUP WITH I-IIS DEXTERITY MR. PAUL SPAKOWSKI, a graduate of the University of Dayton, is another new arrival at St. Francis, and one whose acquaintance we have been happy to make. He teaches Algebra to the freshmen and is assistant football and basketball coach. .,..,.f ex is 'X MR. FRANCIS SULLIVAN divides his teaching hours between Latin and Eng- lish.

Brisson Association At the completion of the fund raising drive for St. Francis de Sales High School, it was realized that money would be only one of the things nec- essary for a fine educational institution. It was apparent that the Oblate Fathers would need many forms of help to maintain this school at the high level at which it is aimed. It was de- cided to set up an organization composed of men deeply interested in the success of St. Francis de Sales High School. The new group was appro- priately called the Brisson Association, named after the founder of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales, Father Louis Brisson. Among the primary objectives of the Brisson Association is to provide financial help to worthy boys, students and prospective students, who need assistance. Aid in the furtherance of voca- tions is also planned. The Brisson men strive to sell the values of continued Catholic education to grade school boys and their parents, and to build up a lively interest in all school activities. Job placements for students and graduates, along with guidance for successful careers in professions, business and industry, is part of the program. In general, the Brisson men pledge themselves to cooperate with the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales in developing an outstand- ing educational institution. In making special mention of the three presi- dents, Mr. James Nicholson, Mr. Stanley Krauser, and Mr. Robert Smith, we wish to salute all members of the Brisson Association. Through these gentlemen, we gratefully acknowledge the support which the Brisson Association has given to St. Francis, and we confidently hope that this interest will continue through the years. 7 Qi Aww. 1 Q sf Unis! 3 W nM m ,s ,- s y, ' 3 1 iwzw Q 5 1?5T35'i'2 ,3 22 ,:., -.:, t :IE s smssss l SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Mike Harron, Presidentg Marshall Nickerson, Treasurerg john Gomolski, Vice-Presidentg and Phil Kurth, Secretary.

THE FIRST THREE DAYS OF HOLY WEEK MEANS RE TREAT. THIS SCENE IN OUR SCHOOL CHAPEL PICTURES THE FIRST ONE THE FIRST or wixxy WFEIXLY Massrs xt ms or of Great Importance The most important phase of our training at St. Francis lies in the practice of our faith. All stu- dents assist at weekly mass during the regular school day, and may attend the daily mass cele- brated each morning. During May and October, and on First Fridays, benediction is offered after dismissal. In Lent we have Stations of the Cross weekly. Every afternoon finds several priests hear- ing Confessions. The climax of the entire religious program is the annual retreat, which takes place during the first three days of Holy W'eek. The retreat consists of daily mass, followed by conferences directed to- wards a renewal of the spiritual life, and accom- panied by recitation of the rosary and spiritual reading. The special mark of the retreat is the strict silence maintained throughout the whole day. During the past tl1I'C6 years we have had as retreat masters Oblate priests from other schools, Father Daniel Early, Father Joseph McCoy and Father Aloysius Gaffigan. For most of us the re- treat was a new experience, and for all of us it is one of the most memorable of our high school years.

FRANCIS. tatue of Patron Donated to Knights An impressive statue of St. Francis de Sales, our patron, has been erected in front of the school. The statue was produced in Italy and is made of white cararra marble. It pictures Saint Francis in cassock, surplice, and stole, carrying his famous book, HThe Introduction to a Devout Life. It is mounted in a shrine constructed of the same type brick as the school, and has since been sup- plemented with shrubbery. The statue was formally blessed by Father Fuqua, in the presence of the entire student body, on September 25. Also present at the ceremony were Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Luebbe, the donors. Mr. Luebbels work is among the deaf, and it was his interest in St. Francis de Sales as patron of the deaf which prompted him to present the school with the memorial. The students of St. Francis de Sales strive to imi- tate their patron in their everyday lives. In his book, St. Francis outlines the practice of virtue. This book shows us the way to follow Christ in our lives as students. The mark of the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales is the Direction of Intention. The students of St. Francis de Sales. by directing their wills to God at the beginning ol' each activity. turn the entire school year into a prayer.

FATHER SEELAUS HOLDS THE JUNIORS FASCI- NATED WITH CHEMISTRY IN ACTION. Laboratory Science Stressed at School Realizing the importance of science and mathe- matics in the education of modern youth, St. Francis de Sales High School provides three years of science and four years of mathematics for its students. The sophomores study the wonders of plant, ani- mal, and human life. They dissect frogs and study amoeba under the microscope. The chemical com- position of matter is the keen concern of the jun- iors. They make unusual compounds and separate hydrogen from oxygen in water by electrolysis. The seniors study the physical changes of matter and the concept of motion. They learn the proper use of various mechanical devices during their labora- tory periods. Every day, every student at St. Francis spends forty-five minutes studying mathematics. The freshmen learn the basic concepts of algebra. The sophomores study the theorems of geometry. The juniors extend their knowledge of algebra in an intermediate course, while the seniors study advanced algebra and trigonometry. With this background in science and mathematics, the students of St. Francis de Sales High School hope to help meet the modern demand for more scientists and engineers.

Dick Mattingly, whose rough and tumble tactics did much to keep the team in shape and in high spirits, was added to the coach- ing staff. Almost any afternoon during the season one could hear, Get up! Get up! or a more fa- miliar, 'iYou darn dumniiesli' drifting in from the practice Held. The team played a total of six games, winning four and losing two. In the two games lost, one to Tiffin Calvert and the other to Sandusky St. Mary's, the defense fell easy prey to one or two plays with which the opposition made much yardage. The offense came through well due to the deter- mination and charging of the line and the fine running of the backs. 1957 Football Record St. Francis St. Francis St. Francis St. Francis St. Francis St. Francis Adrian Central . . . 6 Tifhn Calvert ...... 40 Fostoria St, VVendelin 12 Sandusky St, Ma1'y . . 38 Norwalk St. Paul . . . 0 Detroit Salesian .... 6 l Joe YVestmeyer, Emerson Ross, Bob Recker, coach, Ft.

By the Hrst of September the team worked itself into a well organized group of hard- hitting scrappers. The defense became an almost impenetrable for- ward wall that threatened to mutilate anything that came its way. The offense became fast and hard-charging, especially in power plays up the center where it hit into the opposing line like a steam-roller. The backs ran with grit and determi- nation, ready to make a hole if there wasn't one. Quarterback Bobby Schaefer, because of his run- ning and passing capabilities, kept the opposing team in suspense. Fullback Terry Gallagher could be counted on for those valuable yards up the mid- dle. Cotter and Roughton, tremendous halfbacks, mixed deception with speed in their fine running and passing. Ends Mike Harron and Jim Bugert combined good blocking and pass-catching to keep the defense worried. Tackles Coffman and Bogue and guards Nicholson and Farley swept over any- thing that got in their way. Center Dave Beck did a tremendous job of han- dling the ball and opening up the center for the power plays. Bench strength like Bob Gallagher, Bob Ackerman and Joe Wlestmeyer were always ready to fill in capably when needed. John Farley, Dwight Fish, Tom Guitteau, Frank Letke, Bob Recker, coach. Row 3: Fr.

The oflense, behind the running of John Cotter, reeled off yardage against a strong Yellow Jacket defense only to have the play called back or lose the ball on fourth down near the goal. Cotter ran for one touchdown while Schaefer passed to Harron for the other after time had run out. The Knights bounced back after their first loss, to defeat a much heavier Bedford Rural team. The otlnense was slowed down in the hrst half because of the huge defensive line of Bedford. The second half, the Knights woke up and ran wild around the ends and used pass combinations to rack up tre- mendous yardage and to score twice. St. Francis next traveled to Detroit to swamp a weaker arch-rival. Detroit Salesian, 38-13. Cotter proved to be the workhorse, putting the game on ice in the tirst quarter with three touchdowns. The reserves saw plenty of action during the second half, holding the Green Hornets to 13 points. Jim Comes, Terry Gallagher, and Bob Schaefer added the three other Knight scores. ROUGHTON SCORES THIRD TIME OVER TIFFIN Knights Roll on to Five Wins in a Row Against Tiflin Calvert, St. Francis avenged a previous 410-12 loss by trouncing the Senecas 49- 19. Dan Roughton started his climb to winning first place in the city scoring race by scoring four times against a down-hearted Calvert team. Bob Schaefer added six more points to make his total twenty-seven while Terry Gallagher scored twice. Against the Rogers' Rams the offense and defense worked together in crushing the weaker team 47-0. The backs rolled up the yardage behind a hard charging, well blocking line while the de- fense sparkled to hold the Rams to a mere 34 yards on the ground. The week before the Lima Central game, the 'fflu bug hit St. Francis with full force, bringing practice almost to a standstill. At the last practice there was a noticeable difference in the physical and mental condition of the team. It was a worn out group that came home with a 19-6 victory over Lima that Sunday afternoon. Bob Gallagher, playing in place of injured Mike Harron, caught a sensational 20 yard pass from ,Schaefer and carried three tacklers over the goal line with him in the most spectacular play of the game. 1 l SENIORS: Row I : John Cotter, Bob Schaefer, Terry Gallagher.

Knights Shine With 7-2 Winning Season Ottawa Hills squeaked out a 21-20 decision over the Knights in the next game to snap a five game winning streak. The defense again sparked to stop the Green Arrows with only 17 yards rushing in the second half and a minus 4 yards in the fourth quarter. Schaefer and Roughton combined to make a 52 yard pass-run touchdown the most spectacular play of the game, putting St. Francis ahead 20-14 with only six minutes left to play. Fifty quick yards in penalties, however, set up the Green Arrow winning touchdown. In dumping Elyria 34-7 the backfield broke lose in a tremendous show of broken-Held running in jaunts of 96 and 47 yards by Cotter, 75 yards by Terry Gallagher and a 59 yard pass-run by Roughton. The defense held Elyria cold on the ground, allowing only 8 yards, but let 178 yards slip through in passes. Roughton broke loose to display his running and pass catching abilities as he scored four touch- downs, leading the Knights to a 39-12 romp over Fremont St. Joe. Schaefer and Terry Gallagher scored the other two touchdowns, while Mike Harron kicked three placements bringing his sea- son's total to 20 out of 26. GALLAGHER TACKLED AFTER MAKING FIRST DOWN MR. RECKER AND CAPTAINS, HARRON, GALLAGHER Reserves Look Good Despite 0-2-1 Record The Lightweight season, like the Freshman year, is devoted primarily to fundamentals. The team learns more plays and gains practice in working together. Mr. Paul Spakowski, a teammate of Mr. Recker at Dayton, doubled as an assistant varsity coach and coach for the Lightweight team. The three game season was scheduled to give the boys valuable experience under game pressure. Even though they ended the year with a 0-2-1 record, they played well and displayed a fine spirit of good sportsmanship and fair play. Falling to Whitmer, 13-7, the reserves used an effective passing attack which aided them in dominating play throughout most of the game. In the Wfhiteford game they were held to a 7-7 tie. Bill Pawleckiis fine defensive action helped to keep the opponents in check. In the last game ol the season they invaded Lib- bey territory only to come out on the short end of a 14-7 decision. Besides playing in these three games, players like Gus Mancy and Bob Acker- man also gained experience by playing occasion- ally in varsity games.

John Smythe added the third tally on a spectacu- lar 45 yard jaunt. In the Scott and Macomber games the Knights stuck primarily to the ground, making sizeable gains. Even though St. Francis played heads-up ball on defense, Scott edged them seven to six, while Macomber pounded away to a 14-0 victory. Rev.

The lightweight team played a total of 13 games, losing 7 and winning 6. Jim Bugert, Mike Harron and Bob Gallagher, all six ft. or over, provided backboard strength. Marshall Nickerson and Terry Gallagher, both having a good set shot and 'cdrive inn, kept the defense on their toes. Neil Jankowski and Steve Krauser, although small, provided plenty of extra speed. In a few area games, they downed Clay and Ottawa Hills, and lost by a close margin to Rossford and Sylvania. The freshmen came through with an excellent 14-3 record with wins over many city league teams including Libbey, DeVilbiss, Scott, Waite and Macomber. John Drauer and Don Yingling pro- vided many moments of excitement with their deadly accurate set shots. Dan Kennelly drove through the defense time and time again in a magnificent display of his deceptive ball handling. 80 Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis Francis 1956-1957 SEASON 51 Fremont St. Joseph . . . 58 Bedford ............. 41 Tiffin Calvert .......... 56 61 Zanesville Roecrans ..... 69 45 Rogers ................ 47 71 Holland ............... 53 71 Fostoria St. Wendelin . . 77 Detroit Salesian ....... 51 Cleveland Gilmour ..... 65 Ehnore ............... 61 52 Maumee ........ .... 69 Lyons ................ 59 Sandusky St. Mary's ..,. 106 Holland .............. 72 Adrian Central Catholic 71 Swanton .............. 64 Maumee Valley ........ 62 Ottawa Hills ..... .... 45 Scott ...... .... 1957-58 SEASON 59 Fremont St. Joseph ..... 62 Bedford ............... 59 DeVilbiss ............. 68 Fostoria St. Wendelin . . . 71 Lakewood St. Edward . . . 57 Delphos St. John ..,... 58 Rodgers .............. 53 Ottawa Hills .......... 74 Cleveland Gilmour ..... 44 Elmore .......... .... 56 Maumee 102 Lyons .... .... 52 Lima . . . . . . . 62 Waite .... .... 76 Sandusky . . . . . . 66 Swanton . . . . . . . 46 Central . . . . . . .

COACH MATTINGLY GIVES TIME OUT INSTRUCTIONS TO TEAM FACES ON THE BENCH REFLECT THE Knights Roll Up a 15-5 Season Record The Knights broke loose in the 1957-58 season for a l3g3 record. The team was aggressive, display- ing a lot of spirit and a well-balanced attack. Mike Harron, an all-round dependable player, was usually there, where and when he was needed coming through with a steady average of valuable points. Bob Gallagher, facing and holding his own with men much larger and heavier than he, pulled down many rebounds and played well on both offense and defense. Mike Wlilde, a fine ball handler and play maker, combined good shooting and Hne passing to be one of the team's most valuable men. Another senior, Jim Bugert, joined the squad at the beginning of the second semester adding to the rebound strength. Danny Kennelly, a real scrapper, provided many exciting moments with his driving lay-ups and all around ball handling. John Drauer, a cool headed forward, kept up a constant barrage of deadly accurate set shots to break up practically any zone defense. If the op- ponents attempted to stop his sets he would drive in with speed and accuracy. Steve Szernpias and sophomores John Coyle and Witold Pawlowski were always ready and capable of Hlling in whenever they were needed. HARRON GOES FOR REBOUND AGAINST ST.

THE MONTHLY GENERAL SESSIONS OF STUDENT COUNCIL MEET IN THE LIBRARY BILL SCHLAGETER, CON NOLAN, JOHN STRAUB AND PAUL HARSHMAN HELP FR. WARD RUN ST. FRANCIS Student Council The Student Council is the student's voice in school govern- ment. Any opinion or suggestion may be presented to the council. Since everyone has representation, any action taken is in accordance with the will of the majority. The organization is composed of two parts. The four Student Council ofiicers, the president and vice-president of each class, and the chairman of each standing committee of the Execu- tive Committee, the remaining class officers, the president of each section and a representative from each organization. The Executive Committee meets to prepare an agenda one week before the meeting of the General Assembly. The Student Council had its beginning in 1955, under the direction of Fr. Francis Gross. A constitution was drawn up and oiiicers elected. Terry Gallagher served as first president. Under his direction, with Fr. Gross's able and untiring assist- ance, the council developed into an active force promoting the interests of the students. Terry was succeeded by Bill Schlageter, who led the Council as it sponsored dances, a homecoming parade and a color day. A student handbook was drawn up and the student body was urged to wear dinks to promote spirit. Bill was elected president again this year and he and Fr. Robert Healy, who replaced Fr.

Drama Group Gives Prize Winning Plays St. Francis de Sales High School realizes and ap- preciates the values of drama. The usual results are hoped for and to a certain degree fulfilled - co- operative working together of many talents and Utemperamentsf' the developing of these talents, and a pleased audience. Further, St. Francis is not adverse to using drama as a pleasurable method of presenting literature to the audience as well as to the participants. With this in mind, it has been the aim of the dramatic group to give worthwhile plays. It is felt that six weeks of rehearsal on a worthless play is six weeks wasted. In its rather short career of making theatre history, St. Francis is proud of its presentations. Presented were The Inspector General, 4'Our Townf, 'iThe College Widow, the timely 'gSong of Bernadettef, and the annual variety show 4'Knights Rampant, pro- duced twice.

F. S. Stage Drama came to St. Francis on November 16-17, 1956, in the guise of 5'The Inspector Generalf' by Nikolai Gogol. The plot concerns petty grafters who are thrown into panic at the rumored visit of a distinguished government inspector. Addi- tional complications are presented when they mis- take a chance visitor for the inspector. Among the leading characters were Ken Gappelletty, Mike Harron, Jim McCarthy, Tony Wernert, and George Fell. Presented on May 10-12, 1957, was the hilarious second annual Knights Rampantf' The narration was performed by the absent-minded German pro- fessor, Tom Gavin. Unfolded to the audience was the history of entertainment. An operation on tele- vision, headed by Dr. John Straubf, was the next item on the program. The second act contained events that 'iStinky Trumble, played by Jim Mc- Garthy, encountered while dreaming that he was king for a day. Actors Hit Peak in Pulitzer Prize Pla l'liis play is Called 'Our Town., It was written by 'lliornton Hlilder and produced by Rev. VValter Dean, U.S.F.S. ln it you will sec Toni Ryan, Bill Alderson, Ken Cappelletty, Bob Solon, John Straub, Diana Ewing, Erma Longeway, Carol Ann Peatec, Joyce Fodor, and many others too numerous to mention. The name of our town is Grovefs Corners, N. ll., just over the line from Massaclitisettsg latitude 42 degrees, 40 minutes, longitude 70 degrees, 37 minutes. The Pulitzer Prize winning play is a simple story of lite in the little New England town of Grovcr's Corners during the early years of the present cen- tury. The Character ol the citizens of the Coinniun- ity, as well as the family life of the Gibbs and the lN't-bb lizunilies, is revealed in the first act. The siinple love allair and wedding of Emily and George. Einily's death, and her eflorts to return to life at Groyer's Corners to live again with her incin- ories. and the futility of such an efliort, are un- folded to the audience in the second and third acts. s 5 MR. WEBB GIVES ADVICE TO THE NEWLY-WEDS A nl-I KEN CAPPELLETTY, AS THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT, DELIVERS A STIRRING SPEECH TO 'IHE STUDENTS Football Comedy Is Presented in Season The Dramatics Club of St. Francis de Sales presented George Ade's The College VVidow,' on the nights of October 31 and November 1, 1957, in the school auditorium. This comedy, a rah rah football play, was written in 1904 and takes place during the early part of the century on the Atwater College Campus. The plot includes a star football player, the rivalry between a Presbyterian and a Baptist college, their traditional Thanksgiving Day football game, and the college widow. The opening of school in September, the faculty reception, the football game, and Thanks- giving evening were the high points of the action during the play. Among the main characters in The College Widoww were Ken Cappelletty, Tom Gavin, Tom Ryan, Paul Lareau, and Ben McCollam. Also in the cast were Lou Ann Hoge, Jo Ann Manera, Barbara Frische, Lauretta Coy, Mary Moore. and Mary Jean Feak, of Ursuline Academy, and Mary Ann O,Neil, Kath- leen Peatee, Marianne Sadler, Marilyn Dompier, Sharon Grosjean, Donna Carroll, and Karen Borger- son, of Notre Dame Academy. The play was again presented under the excellent direction of Rev. Walter Dean, O.S.F.S. PHIL GRANETO WORKS ON COLLEGE WIDOW SCENERY CAMERA CATCHES SONG OF BERNADETTE IN REHEARSAL A DRAMATIC INTERVAL IN THE SONG OF BERNADETTE 101 Song of Bernadette Rated As Best Yet If an author ever breathes the sobering air of humil- ity, it must be when he recognizes the hand of the Divine Artist reaching down into the colorless lives of human beings and fashioning with them a power- ful story, staggering in its very simplicity. Such was the case in HThe Song of Bernadetteu by Franz Werfel, dramatized by VV alter Kerr. Bernadette Soubirous was an ignorant peasant girl of Lourdes, France, portrayed with reverent sincerity by Diana Ewing of Notre Dame Academy. Tom Ryan, the parish priest, gave an accurate picture of a good man, anxious to believe, but filled with a wholesome fear at the nearness of God. The cast included Eileen Reilly, Carol Peatee, Rita Schultz, and Karen Borgerson, of Notre Dame Academy. Jo Ann Manera, Mary Moore, and Barbara Frische. of St. Ursula's Academy, Frank Thompson, John O'Shea, Charles Sturtevant, Terry Gallagher, Paul Lareau, Phil Graneto, Pat Dooley, George Schwager, and others. The play was a triumph of beauty in simplicity, Wfith no elaborate eosturning and little scenery, the east managed to capture the spirit of the drama which took place at Lourdes exactly 100 years ago.

Pep rallies before important games usually set the tone of the cheering - louder and louder. On such occasions, the faculty was not above adding their voices to the clamor. The annual Homecoming parade has become a colorful demon- stration, growing each year. Bancroft St. fairly spar- kles as floats and decorated cars make their way to the Glass Bowl. The band and marching students with the familiar 'cdinkn complete the picture. Later in the year, Color Day, with everyone featuring the Red and Blue, put us in the proper mood for the basketball tournament. If this sounds like bragging, well, it is.

The first edition of the ACCOLADE is now recorded for posterity. A few acknowledgments are certainly necessary, arid, we think, a few words, not of apology, but of explanation, are in order. The name, ACCOLADE, was suggested by Tony Wernert, '60, and chosen from among others by a vote of the student body. The group smiling hopefully at you above is responsible for this issue. Seated on the left is John Smith, who edited the sports section. You may recall his enthusiastic accounts of our teams' performances. If they seem a trifie prejudiced, it may stem from Smitty's also being a football manager. Next to him is Tom Ryan, editor of the religious and scholastic sections. We were glad to have Tom add respectability to our sometimes suspect organization. In the center is Father Joseph McNamara, senior moderator, who admits to having learned at few things about yearbooks and seniors while the ACCOLADE was in progress. With his full hand poised on the typewriter, proving he really isn't limited to one finger, is Mike Joyce. He and John Karwowski, of the appraising eye and near-smirk, were co-editors. Mike and Doc had a hand in most of the book. Under their persuasion, the staff delightedly scored a major triumph over Father McNamara in the matter of the size of the senior pictures, and the use of certain random views of the faculty in more articulate poses. Let underclassmen not become too hopeful, however, Father McNamara has built up resistance to the vanity of seniors and the enthusiasm of editors. That's Bill Schlageter smiling over there on the extreme left. He wrote and edited the section dealing with the school history. Some- times we thought Bill was reconstructing St. Francis brick by brick, but the result was worth his efforts. Next to him is Jack Wanamaker, who did the dramatic pages. We confess to a certain partiality to our department of dramatics, and we think Jack did it well. Dan Fandrey, ,59, is our student photog- rapher. Though he is not of the mighty class of '58, we appreciate his real contribution. The cosmopolitan looking gentleman 15 Mr. James Kwiatkowski, lately of Toledo Univer- sity, who generously offered his experience and all-around know-how to our neophyte staff. Both Father McNamara and the seniors gratefully acknowledge his valuable service. Next to him is Mike Leonard, who supplied ideas and original sketches for our cover. Randy Courreges performed the tedious and demanding task of typing most of the copy. You won't notice it in his typing, but Randy has traces of a delightful Southern accent, which he brought to St. Francis from Louisiana. The smiling chap next to the drawing board is Tom Blakowski, who helped in sundry ways. We must make grateful mention too, of Mr. Martin Baxley, also formerly of Toledo University, who offered technical assistance. In a very special way do we acknowledge our photographer, Mr. Dick Greene, who, from the beginning, has provided us with a pictorial story of St. Francis, rich in quality and quantity. He's the one making us smile so easily in the picture above, and we salute him for his skilled and generous service. If our tone does seem to be light, please do not feel it stems from any sense of self-satisfaction. We frankly admit to inex- perience and recognize weaknesses in our book. However, we have tried to present a representative account of St. Francis de Sales High School. We even presume to feel that, in a very minor way, we may have reflected some of the brilliance which marked the journalistic work of St. Francis de Sales. Certainly it was under his patronage and with confidence in him that we attempted this small volume. And overlooking the frequent chaos of our journalism room was the Crucifix, reminding us, in our petty fumbling with pictures and words, of the suffering of the Word Made Flesh. So is explained our smiling tone. We have tried to do our job, but not take it all too seriously. If you know St. Francis better, weire rewarded, if you've enjoyed it, we're happy, and if you've read this far, we're grateful. 112 --2 K 1'-'T ' 1' x A 'J'-'U7'YL KWWW E Cfjffu MN W4 , ,J ,f 0 MW ym O Y . .N f JM , 7 fx 3 x I X Qi- 1'- AX mia iw I 1 if A siiili ski JA if um. qw ' w s 1 Zs, K
