These sisters, Sister Superior Jolanta, Sister Eliaiia, and Sister Deodata are members of the Sis- ter Servants of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Sisters arrived at Idlewild Airport via Air France, then went on to tour New York City and also the nation's capital before coming to their new home. While touring Washington, D. C., they visited Congressman Carroll Kearns, who was instrumental in bringing them from France to America. Congressman Kearns is a member of the Domestic Affairs Committee. Kanty's new sisters are specialists in hospital work and orphanage management, in addition to being authorized teachers in languages and commercial subjects. This is the first foundation in America for the Sister Servants of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, whose mother- house is in Krakow, Poland, The order was founded by Bishop Pelczar in 1894 and now has about 70 houses in Poland, ten in France, one in Germany, and now one in the United States. 2 rx i, X. 3 it if- .,- i'.lLl1??r 'mid 2 S 1 5 Sisters and Domes tics FIRST ROVV left to right: Miss Marie Nelir, Mrs. Bernice liuelanvsku, Mrs. Stefa- nia Poslusznu, Mrs. Hylinska, Mrs. Mary c:l'0lk0WSk2l.

Band October l, l9l5 - Professor Borowski helps Father Krol orga- nize the first band. October 20, l920 - New 28-piece band's first public appearance at a social. September l0, l928 - Professor Chojnaeki begins long music career at Kanty. October I9, l940 - Kanty band acquires new instruments and uniforms. October 29, l942 -- Kanty band helps celebrate Bishop Gan- non's 25th anniversary in the hierarchy, 40th in the priesthood, at corner-stone laying of the new Cathedral Prep. October 26, I944 - Kanty band gives half-hour concert at flag raising and dedication of Cathedral Prep. May 2, 1948 - Band travels to Buffalo for May Festival. October 9, 1949 - Band renders musical selections at corner- stone laying of St. james Church, YVesley- ville. Seated: Kenneth Szelag, president, South Am- Thursday night will always hold a special place in the memories of at least thirty Kanty students. As for the rest, they will probably remember the not always dulcet melo- dies of band practice penetrating their study periods, It might not be apparent at first, but the members of the band work just as hard as any athletic team in pre- paring their program. The experienced guidance of the conductor, Professor Ignatius Chojnacki, counts not a little, either. For most of the members, he is the first music instruc- tor they have ever had. It's not very easy to take a group of boys with nothing but ambition and train them to put on a good show in a few months' time, but the professor has never failed yet. At every social, the band has always made up an important part of the program. By the time one of the most important events of the year for the band rolls around, the Memorial Day Parade, there is hardly an amateur among them, Dressed in their red and white uniforms, and marching up State Street, they arouse the admiration of all who hear and see them. By some critics they have even been called one of the best high school bands in Erie, equaling the performances of bands twice and three times their size. Beyond a doubt, they have earned their place in this book. . 1- l l lorn, NV. Cimochowski, j. Roran, AI. Danck, R. Croft, T. Piskor. Kozlowski, T. Milson, -I. Schmitt, P. Lynch, M. lVodz, and F.

Since that time hard work was meritorious of a re- ward. At Kanty, proven hard and consistant work, B ave- rage for two or more consecutive semesters, is rewarded with membership in the National Honor Society. The society is a nation-wide organization composed of all students with the above qualifications. It was instituted with the idea of repaying consciencious students who achieve honors and to arouse interest in attaining better marks if, for no other reason, but to join membership in the society. Kanty's list always ranks high. Her students have con- sistently proven both their own and the school's ability to produce scholars. This year, an even greater number of students have gained membership, Although the senior class predomi- nates, each class has its representatives among the honor students. lx meliiig: l,.

Rocket Club With the ushering in of the Jet Age, Kanty Prep seems to be keeping up with the times by the formation of the new Kanty Prep Rocket Club. The club, although not in full swing as of yet, is under the supervision of Professor Carney Metzgar and is com- posed mostly of Freshmen, However, it is expected that students from all classes will become interested in it in the near future. The purpose of the club is to gain a better knowledge and understanding of rockets and the jet age in general. Material consisting of pamphlets, maps. and charts was obtained from several different Air Force bases and air- craft manufacturing plants by Mr. Metzgar for class use. Meetings will be held once or twice a week, although definite days have not been set down. The club now con- sists of about 20 members, with John Danek. John Lesz- czynski, and Dan Durawa as president, vice-president, and secretary, respectively.

Kantyne 28 Throughout eleven years, the Kantyne has played an important part in the physical Well being of the student body and this year is no exception. This favorite gathering place, displays a wonderful assortment of sweets and can- dies and surprisingly enough it attracts more students than the Prep Hall ever did with which any hungry stu- dent can satiate his mid-meal appetite, The soda bar also has delicious milk shakes, the favorite of many a student, a large variety of sodas and almost anything in school supplies. The managers of our soda fountain can be looked up to for their painstaking diligence behind the counter. They frequently sacrificed much of their free time for the be- nefit of the students. Edward Moore, Henry Goscinski, and Norbert Orlowski served the boys faithfully and depend- ably in the Kantyne.

It was with this purpose in mind that the 'tHobby Lobby came into existence. The two rooms at the end of the second flo-or corridor have been a center for every student pursuing his own hobby. As every year, there were a great number of hobbies, from stamp collecting and model building to photography and chess. This year, a special emphasis was placed on photogra- phy in the form of frequent visits of a local photographer who came to give advice and technical know-how to all who were interested. It was through the Hobby Lobby that many a stu- dent whirled away those crucial free hours that many times means the difference between homesickness and adjustment to Kanty life.

The school is very grateful to Mrs. Thomas Finnegan for her immeasurable assistance in reorganiz- ing the library. Keeping in line with the reorganization plan, the magazine section has also expanded both quali- tatively and quantitatively. With this expansion the ma- gazines are very inviting to read since they now offer a wide choice of top notch and well selected subject matter. Another innovation was the library music hall insti- tuted by Reverend Frederick Pilatowski, Instrumentals are played, with classical music and jazz being the mainstays.

Since it was formed, it has always maintained popularity and good standing as one of Kanty's most lustrous activi- ties. This past year, the Basin 10 + 1 , had taken new ta- lent under the downbeat of John Przybyslawski. Excelling in progressive jazz and the blues, they startled their eager listeners by the Basin Street Blues and Saints , The saxmen , Frank Zalenski and Norbie Orlowski along with Ed Sawicki and J oe Miller, the two plumbers , formed the backbone of the group, George Cimochowski and Steve Jablonski, the Woodwinds of Dixieland , Bob Zorn on the button box , John Szelag pulling the strings, Frank Ferst pounding the ivorys , and John Przybyslawski on the horn triggered the melody, and backed up by Gene Zorn beating the skins , Combined, they produced melodies pleasing to the ears of all Kanty students. October 24, 1949 - The present jazz orchestra dated from Octol ber 20, 1949, when a minstrel show was held and the ministrel jazz orchestra was composed of Do- nald Sulecki, drums, Modzelewski, accordion, and joseph Lukasik, clarinet and director. This became the nucleus of a jazz orchestra which continues with replacements to this very day. Seated: R. Zorn, and E. Zorn. Standing: S. Ia- blonski, G. Cimochowski, J. Szelag, J. Miller, E.

For the sixth straight year, Kanty students have taken an active part in Gannon College's mock United Nations Assembly. The general aims of this assembly are to promote inte- rest in world affairs and have high school students be- come active in trying to solve international problems. This year Kanty represented Panama and was there- fore in the South American bloc. Kanty's representatives and their questions were: George Cimochowski and Robert Zorn, space controlg Conrad Czaplicki and Eugene Zorn, colonialism in Africag Paul Jackowski and Bernard Lep- kowski, disarmamentg and Henry Jacek and Stanley Klu- kowski, Berlin problem. Considering the fact that there were eight countries in Kanty's bloc, the prepsters did excellently in capturing two out of the four chairmanships in committees. The chairmen were: Conrad Czaplicki and Henry Jacek. After weeks of preparation the General Assembly met all day at Gannon Auditorium on March 21st, Kantyites were very active, showing their initiative and leadership qualities to the satisfaction of their present and erstwhile moderator, the Reverend Frederick J.

It seems that the objectives were made a reality. The club was a sponsor of an assembly which captivated the student body and pleased the faculty. It was a session of wit, logic and to some extent profound and otherwise partially unattainable information. Some of the subjects treated were Proof of Existence of God , Evolution of Man , and Mario1ogy . The club members were authors of their own papers that were read at the assembly. They put countless hours into the preparation of making the papers coherent and clearly mature. Some of the reference material included Summa Theologica , One God , and others which in- cluded material that dealt with profound, involved know- ledge. The students, as a result, were impressed with the importance and intricacies of logic and philosophy in re- lation to human events in all phases of life. B. Taberski, secretaryg E.

G ee Club Once again, the Kanty Glee Club, under the direction of Father Joseph Lachowski, C. M., has had a full year of success, After an inactive vear in the 1957-1958 season, this year's Glee Club activities were considered to be glit- tering, musical gems. Many a time this year, the full voices of Kanty's answer to Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians, have shone bright at our socials. New music and frequent practice have gone into making socials more enjoyable. With Father Lachowski, a full new range of music has been introduced, ranging from the Mass, sung on various special occasions, to the Marine Hymn , The Prayer from Hansel and Gretel, and the Negro spiritual, Some- times I Feel Like a Motherless Child . Another innovation was the accomplishment of multi- ple part singing, This year three and four part singing was attempted, Although late in the season, Father Laehowski with the acquisition of The Happy Wanderer , en- gendered four part harmony. On this note of accomplishment, the Glee Club brought to a close a more than successful season. , -ff, 5' X Q Aff . wtf X x 1- ' ' g .-,Q im 'K if g A 1 my ,I X A - xxx? .1 f in ' WK timaxfykxi A A 'x'--1 V- .e .

Science The Science Club of St. John Kanty Prep, which is affi- liated with the Science Clubs of America, is one of the most active clubs in the school. The main purpose of the club is to broaden the knowledge of its members in the field of science. This objective was fulfilled by group visits to scientific places of interest in Erie and vicinity. Visits were paid to such places as General Electric Locomotive Plant, Erie's new Disposal Plant, Erie Tool and Die, Erie Club Resistor and the Koehler Brewery, Members attending these tours submitted a written report on their visit for future reference.

His able predecessor, the Reverend Frede- rick J. Pilatowski, C. M., was burdened with other works and was forced to retire from this important position. The aim of the St. Vincent de Paul Club was to acquaint the members with the vocation to the priesthood, The members learned the signs of a religious calling: phy- sical, mental, moral, favorable inclination, and a worthy motive. The two classes of the clergy, diocesan and religious, were fully explained and their differences were brought out, The duties, the sublime dignity, and the responsibili- ties of the Catholic priesthood became clear and concise during these gatherings. The members, who were well represented from the four classes, were not made up of only boys who had religious vocation but also of boys who wanted to know more about the priesthood, even though they did not plan to enter it at present. All of the participants used the information they gained to determine if they had the priestly calling in themselves. Discussions, which were frequently held, were the re- sult of questions directed at both the m-oderator and club members, in turn. ST. THOMAS AQUINAS SOCIETY -0-5 Pre- Cana Conference During this ycar's spiritual retreat at Kanty, a series of talks for seniors was begun by Reverend Doctor Joseph La- clzowslci. These lectures, entitled the pre-cana conferences, are aimed at an understanding of the way toward a happy married life. The senior class, to whom these talks were directed, met on Sunday morning after attending chapel. They were able to ask questions and seek guidance on topics per- taining to dating, courtship, and marriage. This fulfills the principle purpose of the pre-cana conferences-of clucidating this important phase in life. Psychology played an important role in these lectures. It has been pointed out that one who uses a soundly psy- chological and sensible way of thinking would be able to distinguish fine points in tastes, likes or dislikes, These play a predominant part in determining whether a mar- riage will succeed or not. An understanding of the virtues and vices of the mar- riage state is likewise important. The practice of the for- mer and avoidance of the latter will determine the spiri- tual, as well as the corporal merits, which would be gained in the eternal union of holy wedlock. These talks were very necessary in the future lives of many of the students completing their last year at Kanty and who are going out into life to seek their fortunes. Illustrating the importance of a good choice for a mate. Father Lachowski quoted this Russian proverb: Before embarking on a journey, pray onceg before entering into battle, pray twiceg before getting married, pray three times.

CIMOCHOWSKI Ceorge', Forest City, Pennsylvania He who helps others, helps himself! Proverb As friends, we'l1 remember George as a happy-go-lucky guy with a big bow tie, a winning smile and a most becoming western gait. Everyone respected George for the integrity of his ideals and since- rety of his friendship. George has taken advantage of the four years at Kanty in al- lowing his talents and qualities to participate in many extra-curricular activities. The rare combination of natural leadership and a magnetic personality have composed the platform on which he has been elected class president since our freshman year. As for sports, George will be well remembered for his all-out efforts whether playing in a Kanty uniform, or intramural competi- tion. These same efforts have earned him seven Kanty K's in the three major sports of football, basketball and baseball. However, his achievements were by no means centered entirely upon sports. George has displayed this by consistently placing high on the honor roll, and participating in the band, sodalities, debating staff, and other school clubs.

Mr. Athlete , is a fitting description of Connie , when one is speaking of sports at Kanty. Connie mastered almost every sport Kanty offered. When he arrived at Kanty four years ago, he never played basketball, and football even less. But Connie was determined to learn. Not only did he earn a berth on the first string in basketball, but during his senior year helped command the team as co-captain. In football, the little wry quarterback was none other than Conrad Czaplicki. With feet like a deer, eyes like an eagle, he punted and passed with utmost perfection. Baseball did not elude Connie's ability either. Even as a Sophomore, he earned a varsity letter for his accomplishment at short-stop. Connie's love for sports won for him the office of Sports editor of the school paper in his Junior year. Commenting on our wins and defeats, he certainly did a notable job. Foremost on the field, foremost in the classroom, it was a very telling parallel, On numerous occasions throughout our days at Kan- ty, Connie ranked first in class. With a mind for math and a smile for everyone, Connie was well-liked. Besides sports and studies, Connie's infinite energy had another outlet-the creek. Often his writhing form could be seen scaling up the gorge walls, acrobating on the swing, or just nonchalantly hanging from a 30 ft. tree. CONRAD S.

He was all of this and more. Frank's unique sense of humor and comical buffooning amused everyone. His singular manner of talking, crowned him with the nick name of Squeaky . Frank's favorite pastime included basketball and card-playing. Even the thought of a card game stimulated Frank , Whether it happened to be cards, or any other activity, Frank played his heart out to win. Although he didn't see too much action at basketball games, his doggedness to stick it out was meritorious in itself. On the gridiron, Frank stepped into the first string guard position. For his meager 155 lbs., which is small for a lineman, Frank's aggressive- ness warded off the best of defensive men. Although Kanty's Jokster had the class pealing with laughter more often than not, he studied with equal persistence. Varsitv Football 3, 4, Varsity Basketball 4, j. V.

Wifi? xx A . ., Known for his stoic, facial expression, and droll, dry, humor, Frenchy adapted himself easily at Kanty. Frenchy's characteristic burly hands and equally generous heart grasped our friendship for life. At Kanty, work seemed to be his greatest asset. Whether on the farm, in the study hall, or sportwise on the baseball diamond, Fren- chy attacked everything vigorously. The results flowed rampantly. Not only was he on the honor roll all four years, but often inhabited the uppermost status in class. Mathematics was the zenith of Fren- chy's abilities. His hope for proceeding to engineering school will re- move all the little difficulties for him in that field. Because of his duties on the farm, Frenchy had little time for sports. With working on the farm and applying himself to his studies, Frenchy's four years passed by flittingly. l Intrunzurul Football 1, 2, 4, Varsity Footliull 33 Intra- nturul Baskvtliull 1, 2, 3, 43 lntrzunurul Baseball 1, 3, 4, Varsity Rust-lmll 21 Clive-rlcalder 43 Sodalitv l, 24 Nu- , , tionul Honor Society l, 2, 4, Student Agricultural Auxiliary 2, 3, 4, Record Club 1, 2, 33 Kantialnus Feature XVritcr lg Sports XVriter 2.

JABLONSKI llApple8,, Brooklyn, New York Measure your mind's height by the shade it casts Robert Browning - Proverb Apples was donned this nickname because Jablonski in Polish means apples , But Polish or English, we will still remember him as the red-headed kid bubbling over with energy. In his sophomores year, Apples inherited the most arduous, time-consuming, un-spotlighted job in the entire school, that of sports' manager, This duty not only consumed his free time, but also pre- vented him from joining any varsity sports. For the past three years, Apples has run the sports' room with utmost efficiency, keeping equipment and playing fields in excellent condition. Although Apples was younger than anyone else in the class, he nevertheless fitted in aptly both scholastically and personality-wice. In the former, anyone would be more than pleased with the scholastic results Apples achieved, Apples joined the band in his freshman year with little conception of how to play any instrument. Through persistant practice, however, he earned the lst clarinet position by his junior year. His youthful energy turned work into play. w r Band 1, 2, 3, 45 Orchestra 45 Sports Manager 3, 45 Equip- ment Manager 3, 45 Choir 2, 3, 45 Glee Club 2, 3, 45 Soclality I, 25 St. Thomas More 2, 35 St. Thomas Aqui- nas 45 Chess Club 3, 45 llobby Lobby 1, 25 Kantianus Photographer 45 Kantian 45 Record Club 1, 35 Student Agricultural Auxiliary 25 Intramural Football 1, 2, 3, 45 Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3 ,45 Intramural Baseball 1, 2, 3, 45 Bowling 45 K.A.A, Official 3, 45 National Ho- nor Souiety 1, 2, 35 Pre-Cana 4. l Not even in Notre Dame could more ardent supporters of Nick Pietrosante be found, than Henry , Although un-alike in size, they both exhibited a likeness of mind. Like Nick , Henry displayed the same desire of accomplishment and hard work. This unfaltering drive consistently etched him in the upper two fifths of the class. Henry's fondness for English nourished in him an appetite to write, Working earnestly since his freshman year, Henry assumed the editorship of the school paper late in his junior year. Last year his craftsmanship at writing editorials secured him a journalism award at St. Bonaventure College. This year the distinguished office of the 1959 Kantian editor was bestowed on Henry . Henry also exposed a relish for debating. Whether in class, or 3 out of class, he often engaged in lively parties.

Hailing from Buffalo, Paul has been to us a striking example of maturity. Meshing over the past, his sound judgement and equally well-rounded personality have shone vividly. Pau1's popularity among his classmates merited him the office of vice-president for his 1'our years at Kanty. Although slightly inhibited by a leg injury at a younger age, that fact never dampened his jovial mood. Because of this physical defect which curbed his varsity sports' ambitions, he diverted his interests to other fields. His penchant for journalism, not only placed him on the Kantian staff, but he also headed the feature section of the paper. As a varsity cheerleader, his unique antics on the football field and hardwood had everyone riled for the game or else bent over laughing. On his more serious side, the classroom, he consistently ranked high on the honor roll roster. During the past years, he gained the respect of the faculty as well as the class. With the valuable knowledge gained at Kanty, along with his own initiative, Paul is sure to succeed. Although Stan entered Kanty as a Sophomore, he quickly molded himself into the class. His simple, straight-forward disposition has impressed all of us. A time for work, a time for play, and a time for prayer , might well be his epitaph someday. Whether he was bolstering the line on the gridiron, leaping for a rebound, or striving to retrieve a serve, Stan's determined efforts sprung up to match the most apt of sports- men. A head librarian, an active member of different vocational and de- bating societies and a writer for the school paper, are just a few of his heterogeneous interests. His studies also rated a prominent part at Kanty. Stan's membership on the National Honor Society promul- gates his worthiness as a scholar. These benevolent marks of his cha-- racter have attracted in the past, and will continue to attract in the future, many ardent friends. Y Y COlllt'Sl VVinner 4. STANLEY E.

The class would never be the same without Nick , His waggish mannerisms and comic attitude forced one to rebound with laughter. But like everyone else, Nick had his serious side. In the classroom, Nick crossed the Rubicon from jocoseness to serious work. On the basketball hardwood, this rotund little man turned into an apt ball-handler and marksman. Everyone enjoyed the performance Nick presented by his feverish efforts to excel. Nick's hearty spirit on the basketball floor continued around the school with the familiar pranks Nick was noted for. Nick was a sure partner for a game of cards, pool, or shuffle board, any time. Atlhough not one of the top men in class, Nick could be sure to produce work tantamount to honor roll students every now and then. In reprospect over the first few months at Kanty nearly four years ago, Pete placed first scholastically in class, and with only a few months until graduation, he again had earned this distinguished position, This certainly proves Pete's pertinacity with studies throughout his four years. Father Cymbrowski always commented on Piotr's efficiency at taking care of the school's bees. This, of course, was a prime target for all the classes to rib him. But Pete swallowed everything good- naturedly, never failing to throw a few remarks himself, Sportswise, Pete starred in intramural football, basketball, ten- nis, and baseball. With this relish for sports, he proved to be an asset for all the teams on which he played, Basketball, in particular, showed Pete to have the highest individual scoring average this year. L Pete's typewriting skill made him typographical editor of the it 2 , - Kantian and Kantianus. This work often required much of his free t i J time which he gave gladly. 1 1 ' PETER T.

However, he is a good application of the saying, The team is only as good as its Scrubs , Kuchi always played hard on the football field even though he begot little or no recognition. But his ability to persevere in hard work with no complaints, assures him of success in life. Kuchi enjoyed belonging and actively participating in such activities as the St. Thomas More Club, St. Thomas Aquinas Club, and other similar societies. Intramurally, Kuchi's determined efforts in basketball and softball were more often than not a needed asset. Although Kuchi did not achieve a place on the National Honor Society, he deserved to be on it by mere effort alone. Few students at Kanty have worked so diligently and so consistently as he. Kuchi , you are a practical example to us that success will be 97 22 perspiration and 399 inspiration! Joe was one of the more reticent fellows in the class of 1959. However, his good-heartedness and helpful nature painted a simple, yet sincere character. High ideals and principles ruled Joe's four years at Kanty. Photography, and all its phases, from the actual taking of the pictures to their development, interested him to the extent that it became his favorite hobby. The school paper, along with the yearbook staff, greatly appreciated the fine photographs Joe has produced through much time-consuming effort. As photography editor of the yearbook, much of the professional-like pictures in the yearbook are attributed to Joe's tedious applications. Among other activities, Joe participated in the band and also the orchestra. In the latter, he played his way to first trombone by his junior year. Athletically, Joe turned out to be an avid baseball player. His dexterity at this sport earned him fame on Kanty's dia- mond. In the other major sports, basketball and football, Joe spurned the team on by his cheer-leading zeal. Everyone admired the JOSEPH D.

Here he deve- loped the shrewd business mind for which he was noted. At Kanty, Ed activated his mind and talents into developing a valuable, in- teresting collection of stamps. Ed poured out equal efforts toward studies. More than once, the top student in class was none other than Edward Moore. This only por- trays the results of his diligent study. Intramural basketball, baseball, and football, were the target for Ed's outstanding athetic accomplishments. His intramural basket- ball quintet copped the championship this year.

Mitch was one of the few students who have been admitted into Kanty in their junior year. This fact alone portrays the above average qualities Mitch needed but possessed to attend Kanty. With a unique knack for talking, Mitch', could converse with almost everyone, any- where, and at any time. Most of the money gathered in the vicinity of Erie for the 1959 yearbook, came through Mitch's diligent efforts. This capacity for obtaining financial aid for the yearbook denotes just one of the many ways in which he has helped us during the last two years. Few students, for such a short stay at Kanty, have shown more fidelity and ardent support of Kanty's varsity sports than Mitch . As captain of the cheerleaders, he obtained fancy K's to place on the gray crew-neck sweaters which all the cheer-leaders possessed. His t persistence to practice and to strive for perfection was well awarded by the many favorable comments bestowed on them by the school and opponents alike. During the short two years at Kanty, Mitch certainly has left a creditable wake of accomplishments. WALTER M.

Nearly a full year younger than the other members of the class, Walt nevertheless viewed this handicap with optimism. By consis- tent determined work he promoted himself to the top sixth of his class. His high post on the class roster deserves more praise than normally, because the honor roll itself consisted of more than half the class. Walt's fondness for English, plus the high grade work he pro- duced, earned him the nomination of the National Council of English Teachers' award for scholarship purposes. Throughout his four years, Walt received numerous awards, including the Science Award, Pro- ficiency Award, Polish Award, and the Czarnecki English Award. Walt displayed a good-natured disposition, despite the fact that his plump figure oftentimes became the target of friendly kidding. In athletics, Walt wasn't the most apt of sportsmen, but he still gave it his all. P1'zybs , well-liked by everyone for his keen sense of humor, vivid imagination, was warmly accepted for his sincere personality. His sense of humor, the most noticeable trait of Przybs , was characte- ristic in his ready quips and humorous anecdotes. Throughout four years, he continually kept the class, and sometimes the whole school, bursting with laughter. Przybs also displayed a nearly infinite imagination. His thoughts projected far and wide, both humorous and serious, Many of the unique new ideas found in the 1959 Kantian are attributed mainly to 'tPrzybs . In the field of extra-curricular activities, Przybs applied him- self to various projects. He was a member and president of the St. John Kanty Science Club, a participant of the Vincent Knights, St, Thomas More Club, and a host of intramural athletic teams. In the classroom, Przybs achieved above average grades with a minimum of work. His high aptitude will indeed be a major help for him to succeed in his chosen field.

Jerry is the only representative of that little community of Beaver Falls, but Beaver Falls, along with his parents, can be justly proud of their gift to Kanty, Mr. Suave , fittingly depicts Jerry's smooth mannerism, gentile politeness and the well-behaved bearing which he applied everywhere and to everyone. Jerry possessed the habit of gaining friendship with everyone -not excluding girls. As for sports, Jerry didn't show tremendous natural ability, but rather the skill and aptness which marks the self- made man. On the football team, Jerry's fighting spirits bolstered the team mentally as well as physically. During the basketball season, he turned his efforts to strengthening the team by cheer-leading. After the first few months at Kanty, Jerry ranked scholastical- ly in the lower half of the class, Determined to make something of him- self Jerry overcame his idiosyncrasies by dogged determination. He not only improved his marks, but during his senior year, Jerry made the National Honor Society.

He offered his services ubiquitously to everyone, freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior. His ready wit and constant geniality always humored everybody. On the gridiron, his ability as a center should be noted. Having earned honorable mention on the All-Catholic County Football team, he humbly absorbed it in stride. In basketball, Harry's 6 ft. 4 in. structure bolstered the team im- mensely. His ability to rebound and to shoot earned him the captaincy of the team. Off the hardwood floor, Harry showed us a brilliant mind in the field of mathematics. With I.B.M, accuracy, he computed square roots, squares, addition, substraction, multiplication, and division, in the flash of an eye. Reminiscing over the past four years, we will always recall the humorous essays and poems he composed, which a certain English Prof referred to as Zany . Of course this only inspired him to write more. Harry , your appealing personality and intelligence will constantly light your way on the abstruse path of life. I. V.

His calm, collected attitude often helped subdue the turbulant disputes which arose from time to time. Tush's imperturbable character is one of the greatest assets one could ask for to enter the portals of priesthood. The integrity and moral character of Tush gained him the res- pect of the priests and his classmates alike. Consequently, Tush ac- quired a secretarial job in the director's office during his last two years at Kanty. His intellectual ability, shown in the same placid manner, applied to everything. All of his four years, Tush ranked high above the ave- rage student. Tush utilized his free time by helping out on the farm. When spring came around, he enjoyed pitching on Kanty's baseball team. i 1 IOSEPH A. TUSINSKI 5iTush!!

Let's forget the 95 yds. touchdown run, the thrilling jump shot, or the flying leap for the liner which every one hears about. Frank's rather small stature prevented him from playing varsity sports, but not intramurals. Frank's love for any kind of sport ignited the flame which made him an outstand- ing intramural sportsman. As president of the Kanty's athletic asso- ciation, he organized the different intramural leagues, set up the ping-pong tournament, helped map out the bowling league and various other athletic functions. An arduous man when it came to studying, Frank's record de- picts very good scholastic achievements. A consistent member of the National Honor Society from his freshman year, Frank excelled in almost all his subjects. FRANCIS R.

Sam may not have been the most scholarly student in class, but he supplemented in endeavor what he lacked in talent. Algebra, his favorite subject, always meant a challange to him. Sam's favorite recreation was battling it out on the hardwood. Prohibited from varsi- ty basketball by his farm work, Sam nevertheless developed into a staunch intramural player.

Not sportsminded, Ziel employed his extra time by laboring on the farm. His lucid mind and tedious efforts were an asset to the many chores which had to be performed daily.

M., together with Pr sident Francis Wystepek conceived a highly-enjoyed st dent bowling league. The president also completely supe vised intramural football, basketball, and softball. Vic President Albert Gurgol handily assisted him. Secretary Henry Jacek was scorekeeper for all varsi sports. He also acted as publicity for the Eagles by repoi ing the results of Kanty contests to the press. In additil to these duties he maintained the Prepster's athletic 1 cords. The well equipped varsity was the result of equipme manager Stephen Jablonski's energetic work.

Center Bob Condek re- ceived honorable mention on the Pennsylvania All State team, thc first Kantyite to be thus honored. 1952 season -- The mighty Eagles soar to an undefeated season and extend their winning streak to 17 consecutive victories over a 3 year span. Their spectacular play also merits them the honor of being Erie Diocesan Champions for the fourth consecutive year. 1953 season - The mention of the Kanty Prep Eagles instills fear in the minds of Erie schools and the meat grindersn are unable to find opponents for the fall of 1953. Only St. Mi- chael's of Greenville would dare to tangle with this Kanty Prep powerhouse. Cheerleaders Kanty's 1958-59 school year was one filled with firsts . Among other things there were football cheerleaders. The s uad consisted of Paul Jackowski Charles Fronczek, Sam q , Zagata, Joe Miller and Captain Walter Pietruszka. A good deal of praiseworthy comment was bestowed on them from both visitors and their own schoolmates. Visitors commended their organization, versatility, and gymnastic ability, while at home they were congratulated on their new and appropriate cheers. Another first were their new uniforms. At their own expense, the cheerleaders provided gray sweaters and distinctive K's to iden- tify themselves. In previous years, it had been the varsity sweater or th cumbursome s ortcoat C P . With the advent of basketball, it was necessary to form a new squad. Under captain Walter Pietruszka were Paul J ack-owski, Joe Mil- ler, Charles Fronczek, Jerry Srmack, John Przybyslawski, Ted Baratta, and Bob and Gene Zorn. A new zenith was achieved, in that all participated in executing l intricate and difficult gymnastic feats. Because of the cheerleaders, an atmosphere of good cheer and support prevailed at all athletic events. Kneeling: I. Miller, C. Fronczek, P. Iackowski, and T. Ba- ratta. Standing: W. Pietruszka, R.

The Kanty eleven commenced the 1958 football season with a 23 to 0 decision over Tech j.V.'s on September 17th. The Eagles slated their first T.D. on a 15 yard pass play from quarterback Connie Czaplicki to left end Norbert Orlowski. The Eagle's de- fensive forward wall headed by jerry Srmack, john Szelag and George Cimochowski checked all offensive threats of the oppo- nents. A safety and two more T.D.'s accounted for the remainder of the score. These two T.D.'s were a result of plunges by both halfback Bernie Lepkowski and quarterback Connie Czaplicki. Kanty Prep 2, St. Ioseph's 18. On September 20th, the Kanty Eagles were overpowered by St. joseph's of Oil City, 18-2, at the latter's home field. The Prepsters drew first blood in the first quarter on a safety against the Irish captain joe Hartle. The Oilers then pocketed the lead and won with two tallies in the third quarter and one in the fourth. Although the Eagles suffered defeat, they had 8 first downs to St. joseph's 5.

The Kanty Eleven clinched another victory on September 23rd in a 27 to 7 victory over East V.'s. The Prepsteris first score was posted early in the first quarter on a pass play from halfback Gene Zorn to quarterback Connie Czaplicki. East's only spark resulted in the second period on a 47-yard runback of an intercepted pass. The remainder of the scoring was accomplished by three touchdowns with Gene Zorn, Norb Orlowski, and Bob Zorn doing honors. Kanty Prep 13, St. Gregory's 6. On October 5th, Gene and Bob Zorn, Kanty Prepis twin- brother offensive, tallied 13 points and earned the Eagles a 13-6 verdict over North East, St. Gregoryis. The Eagles drew first blood after the first two miutes of the game, in which they marched 65 yards in 5 plays. The defensive line of the Prepsters sparked by linebackers George Cimochowski and Frank Ferst was not penetrated until the final canto in which the opponents acquired their only tally. The Eagles then procured another touchdown to ice their victory cake. Kanty Prep 6, St. Michael's 34. The day Kanty traveled to St. Mikeis of Greenville, they received a crushing defeat, 34 to 6. Kanty's only score occurred in the first quarter as they drove 70 yards on the combined efforts of Gene and Bob Zorn and Connie Czaplicki, who had the ho- nor of scoring. At the half, the Kanty eleven had gained more yardage than their opponents, but it was the Kanty fumbles and alertness of the St. Mike-'s team that accounted for the final score. Kanty Prep 6, St. Bemard's 33. On October 19, our Eagles were defeated 34 to 6 in their last game of the season by St. Bernies of Bradford. The underdog Eagles held the Bradford eleven to 7 points throughout most of the first half until a long T.D. pass increased the gap to 14 points. Although the center of the line, sparked by Stan Klukowski, stood firm, the undefeated Bernies posted 14 more points to wind up the score. Kanty's only score occured late in the last quarter on a run by halfback Gene Zorn. VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM l lc lc' S ll F Ferst C Cimochowski ind N Orlowski Second row' Coach Clarence Kneeling: E.

Intramural Football Because of various impediments, especially the lack of days on which to hold the games, this year's intramural football sche- dale was rather incomplete. The schedule was studded largely with all-star exhihition games in which the top players from each team were selected to play. These all-star games ranked high in interest and excitement and proved to he easier to arrange and get underway than any contest hetween the teams themselves. Without any douht, the most action-packed and hest-played game of the year resulted in a moral-victory for the intramural all-stars. ln this game. they faced the varsity juniors and managed to hold the future varsity down to only 12 points. YVith about a minute left to play, the intranniral eleven almost succeeded in racking up their first touchdown, hut time ran out on them. Thus, this game ended as a physical defeat hut a moral victory for the intramural players. There were several other exciting contests this year in the realm of intramural foothall which will surely he rememhered by the combatants of each team which participated in them. Such figurative and singular names as the Pied Raiders , Co- hrasu, Dukes , Uhlans , 'iChamps , and Dacquri's formed tht intramural football roster for this year. r - M Wunwi fw-?W'!3N?3iji 'wwf ix Q ' . , wQBHi 5 yn?- QXf9'?,?X1 5QQ5-T' Q iiwiikd.-fi 1 it ., ff, , ' Varsity Basketball Kanty Prep 56, St. Michael's 65.
