D AZl.3E'il'fCl7 11 Bishop of Erie THE VERY REVEREND ANTHONY M. MAZURKIEWICZ, C. M Visitor THE VERY REVEREND EDWARD P. GICEWICZ, C.M Prifncijml ATTORNEY FRANCIS T. NAGORSKI Attorney Francis T. Nagorski has passed from this world. Closely connected with Kanty through- out her forty years of existence, Attorney Nagorski was perhaps, the dearest and most loyal friend the school ever had. When, in 1909, the Saint Iohn Kanty College Association was formed to estab- lish a Polish institution in Erie, he drew up the act of incorporation and served as a member of the original Board of Trustees. From that time on, his interest in the ven- ture grew and he saw the dream in the minds of a few fervent pioneers transformed into an actuality-Kanty. He also acted as the legal adviser of the institution from the time of its incorporation to the end of his life. His non-mercenary nature forbade him to accept any remuneration for his valuable services. Born September 18, 1879 in Wiszyn, Poland, Francis T. Nagorski, at the age of Ri 1595 GU Naqnylgw Eoterc 'YL 06 ' Attolr MQW com 1,9 at me 19 nine arrived in the United States with his parents. The Nagorski family settled in Erie, Pennsylvania, where young Francis attended St. Stanislaus School. His fatherls death called him from high school at Or- chard Lake, Michigan, and he was forced to complete his secondary education at Central High School in Erie. In 1904, Mr. Nagorski graduated from the University of Michigan Law School, and set up his prac- tice of law in Erie. His knowledge of Polish history and cus- toms was profound, and, indeed, he was regarded as the foremost authority on Poland in Erie and the surrounding area. A great deal of Mr. Nagorskfs time was dedicated to the service of the city of Erie. He was elected to the city council for a two-year term in 1918 and served as vice mayor and finance director. The attorney acted as director of the Community Chest for two years, and was, for eighteen years, a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Erie. The last honor accorded him was his election to the vice-presidency of the Erie Bar Association. The attorney's eventful sixty-nine years of life came to a close at his home on Iuly 30, 1949. He had been in poor health for a year previous to this death. It will be remembered that Attorney Nagorski was one of the main speakers at the graduation ceremonies of 1949. In his address, he recalled the difficulties that had harassed Kanty in her early years and how she overcame those trials. As his closing words, the attorney, the last remaining member of the original Board of Trustees. urged Kanty to continue in the ideals and principles which have made her such a great institution. In your memory, Attorney Nagorski, Kanty, the school you so dearly loved, will always continue to grow and advance in these beliefs. ATTORNEY FRANCIS T. NAGORSKI Q iam -ig VQQ ,pg -as QQ-1, Y ui.

Did you want to visit Washington during the Easter holi- days? We certainly did, and so it happened that sixteen Seniors, all anxious to see the historical shrines in our national capital, seated themselves comfortably in the three automobiles driven by faculty members and anxiously awaited the start of the four hundred mile journey from Kanty to Washington. From the time of departure, two o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, March 3ISI, our drivers- Reverend Casimir Szymanski and Professors Edwin Dombrowski and Florian Yezerski-kept a This year's excursion fthe senior trip to Washington is a tradition at Kantyj was slightly less formal than those T A f S , . of previous years in that the Seniors were allowed to do what they wanted after visiting the points of interest on the agenda together with the members of the faculty. Accordingly, we broke up into several groups, each Senior desirous of seeing the place that interested him the most before visiting any other. The most popular attraction proved to be the Washington Monument, and some Seniors, entranced by its simple beauty, paid three or four visits to the memorial. The Capitol and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington, Virginia, also impressed us a great deal. Among the numerous other places visited were the Smith- sonian Institution, Franciscan Monastery, famous for its replica of the ancient Roman catacombs, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in the Department of Iustice Building, the Lincoln Memorial and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. On Monday afternoon, the three-car caravan broke up, with five Seniors returning to Kanty via Dillonvale, Ohio, with Reverend Szymanski. With Coach Yezerski arriving at Kanty Wednesday morning and Professor Dom- browski coming in Friday morning with four Seniors, after a one-day stay in New York City, our Washington trip was at an end. ? 0 Sadat 71046414 644144 Patron Saint's pastoratc before his professorship at the University Zdagafwf and Wanda!

Eugene Sermak's editorial work was outstanding and gave an especially interesting account of extra-curricular activities. ,Chester Malikowski, the editor, followed, more or less, the pattern set by the previous yearbooks in publishing the Kantian of 1938, with the excellent biographies of the graduates. ' Hiditor Stanislaus Talalaj, assistant editor Etigene' Maru-szewski and business manager Ijo4eph Prugar combined their talents to publish the ,40'yG31'bOO.li. Several pages of light-hearted hulnor instil a spirit of fun into this. annual, making it very pleasant reading. The Kantian of 1941 was one of the finest yearbooks to appear since the year 1925. Under the editorship of Vincent Rip P-isula,, the twenty-fifth graduating class presented an edition exciellently arranged and replete with clear photo- graphs. It stands out as an outstanding edition in khe line of Kantians. I The staff of the ,42 Kantian, headed by editor Walter Lelito and his assistant Ioseph Kozlowski, produced a yearbook characterized by ,excellent writeups of all activities. Sigismund Stelmpkowski was chosen 'business manager of thin edition. T 4 Vllhe 343 and ,44 yearbooks are, in many respects, similar to one 'another.

A, new idea in the sports system at Kanty, a football training camp starting one week before the school year began, deserves ia great deal of credit y for whipping the Prepsters' into shape. Head coach Sarn'l'i Yezerski tutored the backfield in -all the finer points in the sport, while Reverend Iohn Kuczynski developed a hardfcharging forward wall. That each coaoh handled his charges with more than average ability is evidenced from the Eagles' splendid record. i Grueling weeks of practice, ,expert .Supervisfioniby the two coaches, the determination of every man luon the team to do his best, plus that -everfpresent Kanty spirit were the main factors behind Kanty's enviable record of four games won and a single game lost.- In the first game ofthe season, the Eagles scored a thrilling 18-13 tri- umph over the Greenville Saint Michaelfs eleven. The contest, characterized by the yoeman work of Kanty's forward wall, was highlighted by Captain Stan Liszka's last minute interception of at St. Mikels pass and his sixty- three yard runback for the game-winning touchdown. The old Kanty nemesis, St. Bernard's of Bradford, was the next to feel the claws of Kanty's high-flying Eagles. With Liszka tallying five touch- downs on exceptionally long runs, the Maroon and White handed the Bernies a 38-13 shellacking. , P The Eagles tasted defeat for the first time at the hands of the Corry High School Beavers. A The powerful playing of Fullback Ed Ianik was the only bright feature in a 51-13 humiliation by Corry'sc eager Beavers, a powerhouse in western Pennsylvania grid circles. However, the next game proved to be an entirely different story, has the Eagles reached the hights in walloping Girard Mission House by a 5249. count. Again, Liszka paved the way in the rout, accounting for five of Kanty's seven touchowns. .The closing game of the season pitted the Eagles against the highly regarded St. Francis eleven of Athol Springs. Although Kantyc entered: the contest a two-touchdown underdog, the Eagles soared to a 21-1:9 5 victory over the St. Francis' souad. Liszka's ninety-three yard scoring ,run and Anthony Przezwicki'-s touchdown on an interception gave the Eagles a lead they never relinquished. A B The Kanty football tearncwas honored, further when two of its. senior mainstays, fullback Edward Ianik and center Ronald Starkey, were chosen to represent Kanty for the West squad in the annual East-West charity football game, sponsored by With the football season brought to a close, the Eagles settled down to roost until basketball the Lion's Club of Erie. made its appearance on the Kanty sports scene.

There are many reasons why Kanty turns out, year after year, tennis players who compete with, and often defeat, the best scholastic racqueteers in Erie. Not the least of these reasons is the presence of two all-Weather tnacademized tennis courts on the campus. This, plus expert supervision by the tennis coach, Reverend Sigismund Gosk, plays an important role in developing players of the high caliber found at Kanty. These factors, together with the tennis Eagles, spirit and will to emerge victorious, make tennis one of the primary sports in the school's athletic program. With several lettermen returning to the nets this year, the 1950 tennis season shows high promise of becoming the best in Kantyis history.

Varsity Baseball In spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of'-baseball. Here at-Kanty, the advent of spring means more than just a casual consideration of Americas favorite sport, for baseball at Kanty is perhaps the schools favorite activity. Year after year, Kanty continues to produce diamond teams highly respected by Erie and county nines. The fact that Kanty always puts out a good baseball club is due in part to the coaches, in part to the players, latent abilities, but, above all, it is the teanfs undying school spirit and determination to vvin that produce the baseball team's enviable record. V Hopes are high that the baseball team of 1950 will live up to the standard of Kanty nines of the past.

Wishing to feel re- freshed for tomorrow's ceremonies, We go to hed early and, ins '. l teat of engaging in our usual nocturnal conversations, soon fall into a deep slumher. After awakening on the morn of our gradu- ation day, we discover that each of us have hcen visited hy the same dream. In as far as the vision concerns the future activities of the class of '5o, it is only fitting that we should mention l tie strange predictions that stand reveal The class of 'io is holding its fifth reunion. The memhers of the semi-centurial graduating class, long having awaited this joyous occasion, gather into small groups and discuss various ed to us: topics, primary among which are recollections of Karity days. A thousand pardonsl We neglected to make known that the setting of this gala affair is xurious night cluh, v Harry Domhrow- Ruffalo's largest and most lu Heaven on Farthf' owned hy ski and Rich Gondek. We rememher when these two enterprising gentlemen, now at the very top of the entertainment world, planned their first niv ' ' Q' ghl spot while still students at Kanty. Leaving this duo to the supervision of festivi- ties w ., e come across Stan Liszka, the haskethall coach and athletic director of Canisius Colle ,r . . , ge.

F F finest quintet in the nation and the favorite to take the National Invitational Tournament, Later, we are joined in our conversation by Bernard Thorsen, who after a rapid rise to fame as high scoring forward for the New York Knickerbockers, suddenly forsook the game to become manager of Radio City Music Hall. We stop our discussion to appreciate those melodious strains which fill the large dining hall. Walking to the bandstand, we discover that Ioe Kij, leader of one of America's favorite orchestras, livening up matters for his class-' mates with his wailing trombone. Coming across the floor towards us are Doc- tors Gore and Nowakowski, who have remained inseparable after leaving Kanty and who have acquired world renown for their cure for cancer. They tell us that Professor Raymand Karas, head of the newly-created Department of Education, will arrive after a brief meeting with the Buffalo department of the organization. Also present at the get-together is Dr. Chris- topher Kaleta, chief of,staff at the Strong Me- morial Hospital in Rochester. Chris beckons the founders of the Topolski liz Starkey law firm of New York. These two, however, are engrossed in arguing over their latest case, which has attracted nation-wide attention. Conversing at the far end of the foyer are Father Eugene Hazewski and Professor Ray- mond Solowski. Father Hazewski is now presi- dent of Seton Hall College while 'Tiny,', his fellow New Ierseyite, teaches English at St. Peter's College. We then start toward Edward Ianik, who has achieved fame as the engineer of the bridge spanning the Strait of Gibralvtarz A waiter, how- ever, informs us at banquetnhas already begun. th the the are three distinguished looking men seated at the middle of the magnificently decorated banquet table. We recognize in them the contribution of the Class of Fifty to the financial world-Frank Gajderowisz, Donald Sulecki and Stan Wlazalek. They have assumed control over the Philadel- phia Stock and Bonds Corporations, whose value is estimated to be in the billions of dollars. Our hearts tingle when Edward Dodolak, alphabetically the first of the Fifties, announces that a check for one hundred thousand dollars, donated by the Class of l5o, has been sent to Kanty. Dody , whose business abilities have enabled him to start a state-wide chain of stores, has been chosen treasurer of this class reunion. With this external manifestation of our loyal- ty to Kanty completed, the master of ceremonies leads our class in singing the Kanty March. After warm farewells, we leave the Heaven on Earth' and each returns to his particular activity, though no doubt in a somewhat nostalgic mood. Well, that is the dream. How about that?

Under the direction of Rev. Francis Kellner, C.M., the glee club contains in its repertoire a wide variety of religious and popular songs. Its renditions of American and Polish folk-songs are given with a vivacity and gusto that capture and keep the attention of its listeners. The twenty-five member glee club displays its talents at school festivities and is always welcomed with loud applause. Father Kellner deserves a great deal of credit for instructing such a Well-versed singing club.

A group of ardent and zealous boys seeking Christian perfection and impelled by their devotion and love to the Blessed Virgin Mary, expressed their desire to become members of the Sodality. Realizing the necessity oi' such an organization in these, our troubled times, the boys determined to organize their spiritual forces in collaboration With other Sgdaligtg throughout the world to unite in prayer of reparation and sacrifices of expiation to stay the punishing hand of God as requested by Our Lady of Fatima. Whereupen a petition for erecting a Sodality was dispatched to the Ordinary of the Diocese Of Erie. In the meantime Weekly meetings were convened during which the pros- pective members Were instructed in the rules of the Sodality, In November, a diploma, dated October 16, 1949, arrived from Rome stating that a Sodality is hereby canonically erected at Sf, Iohn Kanty Prep by His Excellency Iohn Mark Gannon, bishop of Erie Diocese, as Of the 29th day of September under the title and invocation of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Fatima and the patronage of St. Iohn Kanty. So being duly affiliated to the Prima Primaria every member enjoys all the privileges and indulgences granted to it. On December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the charter members gath- ered in chapel for their reception into the Sodality. After an exhortation by Reverend Ioseph Paciorek, C.M., each boy individually approached the altar of the Blessed Mother and promised Her his love and devotion ag a Sodalist. By the will of God and under the guidance of our Blessed Mother may this Sodality continue down the years to prosper for the greater glory of God and devotion to our Blessed Mother in Heaven.

ORATORICAL CONTEST Left to 'r-ight: Stanley Albro, Ray- incnd Dziejrna, John Gaj, Francis Gajderowiez, Raymond Karas, Alfred Gregorek, Joseph Kij and Leonard Szeglowski. Forensic Society The Forensic Society, enjoying a revival in its activities and having as its aim the furthering of student interest in literature and public speaking, sponsored four programs for student participation-an elocution contest, panel discussion, junior-Senior debate and, finally, an inter-school debate. The first undertaking of the society, the elocution contest, was a feature of the Saint Iohn Kanty Day social celebration. Three Seniors and five juniors strode to the speakerls platform and delivered their oratorical gems in styles which, although not yet suggestive of Demosthenes, merited them a great amount of applause. After due deliberation, the judge awarded first place to Raymond Karas, with Iohn Gaj and Leonard Szeglowski winning second and third place, respectively. A panel discussion regarding the direct popular election of the President of the United States was staged among members of the senior class shortly before the com- mencement of the Thanksgiving vacation. Then, after weeks of preparation, the long-awaited debate between the junior and senior classes took place on the nineteenth of February. The topic, 'lResolved: That the President of the United States Should Be Elected by the Direct Vote of the People , demanded much investigation and research into the political life of the electoral college. Two days later, the Seniors, victors of the inter-class debate, represented Kanty at Girard Mission House, where the same topic had been adopted. Kanty, holding the affirmative side of the question, made a splendid showing for herself but the Mission House gained the decision through a narrow margin of points. Very Reverend Edward Gicewicz, C.M., and English professor Edwin Dombrowski are to be commended highly for the fine results that they have achieved with the Forensic Society.

QA Kanty Band on Parade This year, as in the past, the Kanty Band has been the source of tremendous pride to the faculty and student body. As everyone knows, few students come here polished musicians. Through the excellent instruction given them by the music professor, hopeful candidates soon learn the fundamentals of martial and popular music. The Kanty Band performs during school social events and national celebrations, much to the enjoyment of its listeners. In addition, several Erie fraternal organizations extend invita- tions to the band to participate in their functions. The Kanty Band also travels to Buffalo in order to display its talents at the annual May Day celebration sponsored by the Buffalo Alumni Association. The band's final appearance, however, is made in the yearly Memorial Day parade in Erie, where its natty uniforms, expert drilling and spirited playing draws words of admira- tion from the spectators. The Music Room, home of the Kanty Band, has undergone a complete rejuvenation during the past year. The walls have been done over to produce a stucco effect, and a large painted harp with the opening words of the Kanty March- Raise up your voices to the Skies -graces one side of the room. A large cabinet containing the various instruments covers another wall. With the acquirement of more players, uniforms and instruments, as is planned, the Kanty Band of the future will continue to be one of the finest high school groups in Erie.

The first of these, and by far the most popular, is the Photography Club. Because of the facilities offered the students by Hobby Lobby, many students have shown an extreme interest in the taking and developing of films. A darkroom. complete in all details, provides the amateur photographer with the means of developing his own pictures. The Stamp Club reports the latest news in the world of stamps to its members and gives them an opportunity to exchange stamps among themselves. The Kanty philatelists use the Hobby Lobby club room as their gathering place to discuss their stamp collections. A hobby which has attained great proportions in student interest is model- ing. In the Hobby Lobby room, members of the Modeling Club gather to put the finishing touches on their miniature airplane, ship or Whatever subject they may be painstakingly working on at the time. Almost every student in school belongs to the Hobby Lobby club, a tribute to the organization which allows its members to spend many hours in con- structive recreation under its auspices. Keep up the good work, Hobby Lobby.

Under the direction of a faculty adviser, the staff Writes and edits the Kantianus largely through its own abilities. A member of the Catholic Press Association, the Kantianus holds a high standing in the field of Catholic high school periodicals. The paper itself consists mainly of news of student activities, presented in an interesting manner. Another part of the paper is devoted to the doings of Kanty's alumni, and is accordingly called the 'gAlumnotes section. Prepared by Reverend Adam Minkiel, Alumnotes often bring closer contact between the various alumni groups. In its goal to help the students in their journalistic abilities, the Kanti- anus is surely doing a marvelous job. 1 Kantianus-concluded The moderators of the 1950 Kantianus, Reverend Iohn Ianowski, C.M., and Professor Edwin Dombrowski, deserve high praise for the exceptionally fine work they have done in making the school paper such a success. May the Kantianuses of the latter half of this one hundred years surpass those of the first half. J Chess Club President-Christoplier A. Kaleta, '50 Always a feature in out-of-class activities at Kanty, the Chess Club this year was joined by twenty-four players, some expert, others novices at the game, but each enthusiastic and eager to improve his strategy and derive enjoyment from this oldest of games. The members were selected at random to form two divisions of twelve men apiece, with each player to match his skill and experience against the other eleven men in his division. When this series was concluded, the player possessing the finest record in his respective division was to meet the winner of the other division in the struggle for the championship. It was not strange. then, to hear calls of f'Checkmate'l or En Guarden resound throughout the recreation room, where the members of the Chess Club would meet in spirited contests to decide the king of the chess world at Kanty. From such a large turnout of candidates this year, the Chess Club shows high promise of continuing to be a success in the future.
