THE YEAR'S During the school year of 1936-1937, St. Hedwige ventured forth into the production of social events on a large scale. A record attendance of 186 students was registered in September to give everyone con- nected with the school hope for success throughout the year. This success was realized. Due to the fact that the early months were spent in football, the first event sponsored by the school did not take place until November 17. On that day students and friends of the school enjoyed them- selves at the Booster Dance held at the Palais Royale Ballroom, dancing to the music of Myron Walz. On December 21, a series of one act plays were presented in thc school auditorium. Included in the casts of the presentations were members of all class- es in the school. Comprising the program were the following productions: Shepherd of Bethlehem, Christmas in the Backwoodsf' The New Cook, and No Room in the Inn. The smooth melodies of Bob Phillips and his famous NBC orchestra next provided relaxation and entertainment. 'lhe largest crowd ever to attend a St. Hedwige High School social function made merry at a dance sponsored at the Palais Royale Ballroom on February 9. Honoring Coach Janesheske and his heroes of the gridiron, the Annual Football Banquet was given in the school auditorium on Febi uary 21. A capacity crowd paid tribute to the football team, and wit- nessed the second presentation of Christmas in the Backwoodsf' The seniors next came forth to give their contri- bution to the year's social calendar. Their bit was ACTIVITIES the presentation of the three act play, The Power of Prayer, on March 21 in the school auditorium which was completely filled by an appreciative audi- ence. Director of the comedy-drama was Anthony Kuharich. A skating party, also conducted by the seniors, was given on March 22, at the South Bend Skating Rink. March 31 saw the Senior and Junior classes riding towards Chicago on a trip that took them to many of the historical and educational spots in the Windy City. Under the direction of Sister M. Severina, the sophomores stepped into the limelight on May 2, with their enactment of Without Mother's Bless- ing, a play in the Polish language. On the same pro ram the Freshman girls, under the supervision of Sister M. Angelus, presented a Pantomime, con- sisting of Polish dances, songs, and recitattions. Bringing down the drama curtain for the year was the three act comedy Sound Your Horn. The cast comprised of students of all classes, was under the direction of Cesare Janesheske. The play was presented to the public on May 23. Class night, when awards are made to prize win- ning students of the year, was held on May 28, and Commencement exercises on May 30. With the Baccalaureate services held at St. Stan- islaus Church on May 30 and Commencement exer- cises at St. Hedwige Hall on May 31, the students of St. Hedwige bid adieu to their many friends and followers. BASKETBALL SEASON OF 1936-37 lContinued from page 255 Hedwige downed the Catholic Central quintet by a score of 25-18. The Blue and White closed its regular season in the same manner that they opened it, with a defeat. Vandalia administered the final trouncing when they tallied 30 points to the Lions 24. In a post season effort the St. Hedwige team was entered in the Catholic Tournament at Fort Wayne. They were eliminated in the first round by the pow- erful quintet from Fort Wayne. While they were garnering 27 points, their opponents were swishing the netshfor 47. l'm:u Twenty-Six The record of five wins and five losses gave the Lions a .500 percentage. Incidentally the B team and the football team also ended with a .500 per- centage. Coach Janesheske should be praised for his splendid work in building a first rate team with the limited facilities and material. The lack of height proved a great handicap to the Lions, but their fight- ing spirit balanced this matter up. Stan Nowak, the Lion high point man, was elected captain of next year's team. To Coach Janesheske, captain-elect Nowak, and the members of the 1937 squad, the seniors extend the heartiest wishes and hopes for a successful sea- son. THE VICTORIAN'

ACKN OWLEDGMEN T The Class of 1937 is deeply grateful to the advertisers and patrons of this first volume of The Victorian. Their loyalty and support is an outward sign of their interest in St. Hedwige High School. With- out their aid it would have been totally impossible to endeavor such a project. With their cooperation the senior class has attempted to further the progress of this institution to greater heights. Therefore, please patronize them in every way possible. r THE FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1936 Continued from page 24 the greatest thrillers of the season. .Exhibiting the best ball displayed all year, the Saints were unsuccessful in their attempt to gain a victory over the NIHSC Champions, Elkhart. When the smoke of the battle cleared away the Blue Blazers had tied a knot in the Lions tail and walked off with a 13-0 win. Unable to withstand the charges of a hard driving giant fullback, the Janesheske men fell before the drive of a determined Hobart eleven. The 25-6 thumping handed them by the visitors was one of the most crushing defeats ever adminstered a Blue and White eleven. Jack Gorski, the inspiration of the forward wall. was presented the Kiwanis award between halfs. This award is given each year to the outstanding football player on the team. The player is graded on: gameness, inspiration to the team. self sacrifice, control of temper. cooperation with coach, social temperament. mental ability, obedience, and scholastic interest in class. .With a 500 percentage the 1936 season can neither be called a success or a failure. Compared to the 1935 record it may be classed as a failure. How- Page Twenty Eight ever, considering the lack of material with which to fill out the ranks of an eleven torn by graduation and the number of injuries sustained during a strenuous campaign, congratulations must be extended to Coach Janesheske and his cohorts for the good show- ing they made. One of the last acts participated in by the retir- ing seniors was the election of Ed. Szajko to the Captaincy. Ed. will have a big job facing him next fall when he leads the Lions in battle, for only Dulcet and Miltenberger will be returning to aid him in the quest for victories on the gridirons of the high school athletic world. Besides given the honor of the Captaincv for the coming year, Ed. Szajko was also selected by his teammates as the recipient of the Gilbert trophy, pre- sented each year to one of the outstanding players. Ed Szajko whether in practice or in a game. gave his best and everyone expects him to continue with the same enthusiasm during the next season. To Coach J anesheske, Captain-elect Szajko, and the members of the 1937 squad the Seniors extend the heartiest wishes and hopes for a successful sea- son. THE VICTORIAN
