ROBeRt ARnzen As the Man of the Decade, Coach has graced our halls with his charming smile and winning spirit. In addition to his prowess as a basketball coach, he has also been a dynamic teacher, friend, and confidante. That SJH may retain Coach Robert Arnzen within its halls for many years to come is the dedicatory prayer of the students of St. John! tRIBUte The Reverend Thomas W. Principal Kuhn As a Friend, you sought our special interests. As a Teacher, you guided us intellectually. While directing athletics and the class play, you instilled in us a deep sense of loyalty and co-operation. As a Priest, you fostered our spiritual development. As our Principal, throughout the past three years, you nurtured us both in mind and in heart. We shall always cherish, you, Father Kuhn, as our exemplary man of character; truly. Another Christ! For all this and countless more, we extend our sincere thanks and gratitude. Please keep us in your prayers. Father Kuhn. The Class of I960 The Most Reverend JGeorge J. Rehring, S. T.

Left to right: Coach Robert Arnzen, head basketball and assistant football coach, has taught at St. John since 1950. He has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education from the University of Dayton. Coach William Ricco, head football coach and assistant basketball coach, came to St, John in 1958. Mr. Ricco also has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education from the University of Dayton. The football record for both 1958 and 1959 was 3-6. Coach Ricco ' s outlook for I960 is Potential to be the best football St. John has had. Coach John Ye rick, auxiliary coach at St. John for the past four years, attended Bluffton College, Bluffton, Ohio,where he majored in Physical Education. Seven Blue Jays converge to de- feather a T-Bird. Cheer Queens for the 1959 Football Season included the following peppy sextet: clockwise from the top: Marie Buettner, Frances Wiecher, Joyce Kill, Mary Jane Friemoth, Carol Brickner, Margaret Pohlman. Many years from now these girls will have happy memories of the times they led the St. John cheering section in their blue and gold outfits, waving their bright- ly colored pom-pon s in rhythm with the cheers. Never to be forgotten will be the pep rallies before each game, the bonfire rally before the L.C.C. game, their first appearance leading the S. J. H. crowd, standing in the rain and mud--loyal to the end--at the Fremont St. Joe game, and the out-of-town games. We ' re sure that Marie won ' t soon forget the L.C.C. game; Mary Jane, the practice sessions; Peggy and Frannie, the sock-hops after the game. Carol won ' t forget the night she nearly broke her neck trying to turn a cart-wheel; Joyce will always remember the time she tried to do a cheer while she was standing in the mud. The happiest memory, however, for all of them was the thrill of the Blue Jays ' first touchdown. Rover, Red Rover, let theT-Birds come over. 1 C O c 0) ° 2 • OD C S d) o SI D -J o IH C o 0) _.
