, . fflfhe,.months between September, 1958, and June,j.195.9, .were filled with many ,historical events - the continued exploration -asf outer space, the -precarious state oltfiworld affairs, the crisis in France, the Cuban revolution, the death of Pope Pius and-,subsequent election of Pope John XXIII - and with these we seniors assbciate- the work and the fun, the joys and disappointments of our final year at Stl Francis. ' ' , s' Justly proud of the fact that we were the first students to have completed four ryears at St. Francis, we received our schoo1.irir1gs on October 11, and after that proudly displayed thernyjasga sign of our -acciomplishments, being at the same time reminded of the ideals of'St, Francis. 4 ' i It was but ten days after receiving our rings that our joy was clouded bythe sud- den death of Father Palmer. Yet this sorrow did not last long, with the realization that he had given hisdlife to God, and would be rewarded accordingly. His por- trait, the gift of the entire student body, hangs in the library where he worked, and which is dedicated to his memory. Before school opened' in September, the football team had begun to practice, and they were well prepared to meet their hardest schedule yet. Seniors 'Dan Roughton, Dick Coffman, Tom Guitteau, and Dave Beck spurred the team to a very successful 7-2 season. In November we temporarily set our books aside for a different sort of education, the senior trip. In Washington and New York vyeyysaw ngpt only ,Ig traces ofsghis- tory, but also the present way of life in two of the worldls busiesticities. . Father Balducelli, Superior General of Oblates the world over, visited Toledo in December, and praised our school for its great progress. After this, school life rolled on without incident. Steve Puhl, Fred Benda, and Don Billmaier led the list of senior scholars. Under the direction Et John Straub and Paul Adamski, the Student Council prepared and ratified a new, more workable constitution, and did a fine job in coordinating student and administrative plans and, ideas. John jMcGahey, as social commissioner, was to be thanked for the success of the numerous dances and record hops. In basketball, with John Drauer, Dan Kennelly and Jim Miller sparking the team, we met the toughest of city league teams, and inspired in them a greater respect for us. . Fr. Gross returned to St. Francis as retreat master for the annual retreat of Holy 'We.ek,, and, as in past years, it was a lasting spiritual experience for all students. The tradition of fine plays well performed was in no way lessened this year, as seniors Tom Gavin, Paul Lareau, Bernie English, Joe Wenzler, and Pat McKeown working behind the scenes greatly contributed to Father Dean'-s productions. Dick Hellman, photographer Dan Fandrey, and cover designer Dick DePrisco 'were among those chiefly responsible for the publication of this yearbook. Due to the conscien- tious efforts of seniors John Schroeder, Pat johnson, and Frank 'L'etke,'the Senior Prom was greatly pen joyed by all. f K H Y From the first morning of school to the night of graduation, 1958-1959 was filled with memorable events, and will, no doubt, provide a great deal of nostalgia in fu- ture years.
