t t n t x it of 1949 Published by the Senior Class of South Bend Catholic High School TABLE OF CONTENTS Our Classmates Our Teams Our Friends Catholic in South Bend Catholic High Prepares the Youth of Today, For Better Men and Women of Tomorrow. Dedication To you Beloved Faculty, the Class of 1949, dedicates this volume it appreciation of all the qualities that have endeared you to us. In par- ticular, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to you for your con- stant devotion to the difficult task of educating us according to Christ- ian principles; for your untiring zeal in trying to imbue us with Christ-like ideals: and for your unfailing patience with our shortcom- ings. As we thank you, so may God bless you. Foreword The theme of this twelfth volume of the Victorian is Catholic Youth in Action.” In its pages we have attempted to cover every phase of our school life and to show that the religious, scholastic, athletic and social activities that fill our school days are a golden chain of oppor- tunities to rehearse in real life-situations, under the guidance of our teachers, the Christian principles which we must carry with us into our life later, if we are to be the Catholic leaders of tomorrow. OUR LADY TO CATHOLIC YOUTH At Fatima, Our lately all in light, Appeared and warned, as only She could warn A sin-sick world, of doom and Godless might; Her plea: That souls again be newly born To share the God-Life of Her Holy Son. O Catholic Youth, hold fast the Sword of Flame, Your Faith: and lift it high till life be done. Prepare today for morrow's Lasting Fame. This is Her challenge. Catholic Youth, to you; And be not slow to heed Her warning call. To your ideals, to God, be not untrue; And daily live your Faith, what e’er befall. For faith in action, and with Love combined Will shed a ray of hope on all mankind. Sister M. Louise, C.R. Reverend B. J. Sztuczko, C.S.C. Director South Bond Catholic High Board of Directors REV.

After consuming one year of knowledge we en- tered our sophomore year excited and a little proud. That year we participated in most of the sport activities and the annual bazaar. As juniors we sponsored the “Harvest Hop.” our first dance. We attended the basketball tournament and with the last issue of the Hi-Lite of that year, became it’s publishers. Our first football parade followed by the bonfire started the events in our senior year. The 26-20 victory over Central Catholic made us city Catholic champions as well as permanent possessors of the Maroszan trophy. Our “Ring Day” exercises will always be remembered, so will the Snowflake Flutter,” our Junior-Senior Prom. It was this year we participated in our last and best school retreat, presented our unforgetable Senior Play and sponsored our Senior Ball. In May we payed special homage to Our Lady with the May Crowning. Our four unforgetable years were completed on May 29, the day of our long awaited commencement. Class Prophecy New York. N.Y. May 29. 1959 To the Faculty: As we promised the faculty of South Bend Catholic to inform them how the Senior class of ’49 would be progressing in the world, ten years after graduation, we thought this an appropriate time to report the information we fell upon while we traveled around the world. As world correspondents for Life Magazine, we had to travel to many foreign places to gather news. On one of these assignments, we had to cross the Atlantic ocean to London where the fine and eloquent speeches of Eugene C'hniiel, guest speaker at the United Nations As- sembly. were the talk of the town. Allowed only a short visit in London, we soon boarded a plane piloted by Jerome Podemski, brave ex-airforce pilot, who only recently re- ceived a citation from the President for his mar- velous and daring escapades. We received spe- cial attention from the pert and petite stewar- dess Rose Marie Golubski, who did everything possible to make our flight from London to Paris enjoyable. At the Paris airport our luggage was taken care of efficiently by Bob Kuniinecz, a porter, who told us that was the way he kept in con- dition between the football seasons of the Chica- go Bears. We hailed a taxi driven by Lucille Was, who still had a hard time getting used to the change from the “Buick. Our first stop was the Paris Art Academy. As we entered, we were greeted by Ted Chwalek who was head instructor. Ted took us through the building and led us to his most promising student, Bernle Czyzewskl, who w as sketching a pair of tall exotic models, Rita Antkoskl and Inauretta Urbanskl. As we passed through the spotless corridors our eyes fell upon a huddled object on her knees energeticaly scrubbing a- way the time of day, chief-janitress Jacquelyn Slott. In the musical section of the building we were astonished to see George Aranowski beating his drums, wth sneere hopes to measure up someday to his ideal. Gene Krupa. In an- other corner of the room was Chester Moskwln- skl, a music teacher, who accompanied Irene Dlugosz as she sang an aria from Carmen.” We were startled to see Mary Ann Szaehna ballet dancer performing one of her most difficult numbers from the “The Flight of the Swan. Our next stop was Switzerland where we saw The Swiss Skating Follies which starred Mardeline Kalmar and Frank Chrobot. Loretta Sniadecki, too is successful. She is a skating instructress. We said a swift goodbye to Switzerland and flew to the Belgian Congo where we were greeted by Professor Mary Louise Pickavet who had just returned from an expedition into the deep, mysterious jungle. Leaving the wilds of the Congo we were sur- prised to see a new passenger for the return trip home. Congresswoman, Dolores Klawlnski told us quite a lot about her peace missions in Europe and Africa. At the New York airport we were presented with the key to the city by Mayor Sylvester Wa- lorski. We were then interviewed by Louis� Cudowski editor of Glamour Magazine.” Just off Times Square we found a new branch of the “Ford Hopkins drugstore under the manage- ment of Marie Dlugosz. Chief soda jerk Nancy Rogowski treated us to a super-colossal banana split. We wanted to see New York from the top of the Empire State Building. We were greatly surprised when we found that Mary Ciesielski ran an elevator in the building. On the way down, we stopped on the 62nd floor to visit the law office of prominent prosecuting attorney Elizabeth Trytko. A few days later we heard the news that two of our former classmates. Mary Ann Slusarek and Joan Chrobot were making their movie de- but in Hollywood, California, so we were hastily flown there by our pilot. Our guide on the movie lot was Rita Strychalski who made sure we wouldn’t miss any points of interest. She took us on a tour of the various sets where we found Henrietta Kominkiewlcz attired in a ten gallon hat. plaid shirt and riding breeches, di- recting a possible academy award picture. The Lone Ranger Rides Again.” We were sorry to leave movieland so soon but we had a few more stops to make, among them Savannah Georgia, the great tobaccco state. There we visited the fabulously wealthy Clar- ence Wesolowski, on his tobacco plantation. From Georgia we went to the very old city of Boston. There we visited Theresa Graczyk and Helen Stankiewicz, co-owners of the Bel-Aire- Hotel” where we saw Mike Rafalski, captain of the bell- boys, dressed in a bright red uniform. Next we toured the New Era Potatoe-Chip Com- pany, with President Emllie Adamski as our guide. Last but not least we went to see Myra K. at the Kochanowski Sausage Shop, where she treated us to a generous helping of Polish Kiszka”. Westward bound our plane had to make a forced landing in Arizona on acount of hazar- dous weather. Though we were there only a short while, we had time to visit Robert Kamin- ski, prominent businessman in that state. His beautiful mansion overlooked stables of the finest breeds of horses in the world. Resuming our journey we landed in San Fran- cisco, California, where we visited one of the Class Prophecy famous colleges and there found one of the most important instructors. Virginia Aszklar, teacher of American Literature and English. We visit- ed Loretta Nlemier, expert hat designer in her Millinery Shop. A glance through the San Fran- cisco Herald revealed Patricia Zyto’n name as editor of the Society Page. At a naval base in San Diego, we saw Gerry Prentkowskl looking very fine and neat in her Wave uniform. In Washington we visited the Hopkins Memo- rial Hospital where we were greeted by the re- ceptionist Eleanor Myszke. She informed us that Dr. Lorraine Hoffman was performing a major brain operation with the excellent as- sistance of her nurse Rita Buziak. As we walk- ed through the corridors of the hospital we glanced through an open door to see Dolores Wyremblewski hard at work in the Chemistry Lab. A pass from Joan I)e Muytft, secretary to our President Daniel Mlrocha, enabled us to view the many famous rooms of the White House. On our way back we landed in Detroit, Michi- gan. There we saw the beautiful and lavish Ford Plant where President Leonard Klosinski was testing atomic power to be put into cars. Well, we would be very dull girls if we had all work and no play, so we took time out for re- creation and went to a near-by theater. We purchased our tickets from cashier, Vivian Bur- dick, just as usherette, Justine Luzny came out to remind us that there would be a thirty min- ute wait for all seats. we were amazed to see Pat Moritz, his wife and his ten children appear on the stage in acroba- tic tights about to perform one of their daring aerial acts. They tour to the cities and towns Seated comfortably waiting for the next act under the title of “The Flying Irish.” After the theater party, our pilot flew us to Wisconsin, to Norman Perry, one of the most successful produrers of dairy products. Not far from the dairy farm we found Norma Jean Kniszynski an expert beautician who could make the impossible, possible. Some of our class proved successful in our home town also. Margie Soleta and Joan Chrza- nowski are now co-owners of the S. S. Kresge Co. Betty Rybackl has been as lucky as ever. She is proprietress of her own bakery. Rita Wegner is happily married and settled down with a fine family. A top-notch comedienne is Martha Sobolewski, who has just begun an en- gagement at the “Club Normandy.” We recent- ly waved goodbye to Mary Ann Was who has left for overseas duty as a Red Cross nurse. Dolores Pejza a secretary, has proved to her father that she has skill in politics. In fact it was her influence that enabled Bemle Andrze- jewskJ to secure his unique position as city dog- catcher. Ho is now running wildly about town industriously chasing every stray dog in our city. Ending this letter with a cheery note we'd like to tell you that Allen Demroske has kept Leeper Park clean and tidy for the past ten years as one of the park caretakers. We sincerely hope that you have enjoyed this letter and we promise to keep in touch with you in years to come. May God Bless you and keep you in good health. Yours sincerely.

Marie Dlugosz Jacquelyn Slott The Class of 1949 Notary Public Witnessess Seniors Poetry Page WORTHWHILE Days grow shorter, time flies by, Hearts grow heavier with each sigh. What joys, what happiness, we found here! What trials, what hardships, we all did fear! At last the day of triumph arrives, The last farewells, the last good-byes. Come, Senior, there's no time to fret; Precious memories will not let us forget The friends we made, the fun we had. The carefree girl, the fearless lad. Though we must part, yet, come woat may, We'll meet again some future day. Though the time has come to say farewell, Oh! What glory will the future tell, Of the boy and girl with great ambition, Who fought with galantry to fulfill his mission. Those who never forgot how to smile, These years of study were well worthwhile —Joan DeMuydt FAREWELL To this dear school, farewell we say, As we near our Graduation Day. To classmates now, we say goodbye, With fondest memories of days gone by. As strangers we came, but as friends depart, With love for all in every heart. Never again through these doors to pass, Never again to sit in a class. With the Sisters, too, we caused a fuss, We know they will always remember us. Now, that our High School years are ending, Tarewells to everyone we are sending. —Virginia Aszklai ADIEU Farewell to those who still remain. With tearful eyes and saddened hearts. And memories fond of days gone by The Class of '49 departs. We'll miss the warmth and friendship kind, Of classmates sharing our happy days; And teachers working to help us on For now’s the parting of the ways. And, oh, the years have flown so fast That now we walk with c uickened pace Toward the door, still closed to us, Which holds the tomorrow we must face. We say goodbye to books and studies; And bid sad adieu to cheer and laughter. The friends we've made in days gone by We will remember ever after. —Ruth Laskowski THOUGHTS AT PARTING Commencement Day is here at last, High school days for us are past. Time has come and we must part With things so dear to every heart. The school holds thoughts and mem’ries dear, Which we will cherish year by year. Our classmates shared each joy and sorrow And helped us face each new tomorrow. Our teachers strove to light the way, So u e could tred without dismay. All these things to us do cleave.

The class of 1950 contributed a great deal to S. B. C. during their three years. They are good leaders and scholars, active in the Glee Club and represented in many activities, especially sports. The talented boys show great football ability, while basketball continues popular with the girls. In October the class sponsored their first dance, the Punkin’ Promenadc ‘ and in February the Cupids Hop’’ their Valentine Dance, both of which proved to be a great success. The main event of the year was the Junior-Senior party honoring the Graduates. Having completed very successful three years, this class holds promise of good leadership.

They enjoy their studies and special activities. They participate in the school’s dramatic skits. Gym classes are gaining in popularity with the girls while the boys play the intramurals and enjoy their victories. Their team will some day compose the backbone of our varsity team. Early in the school year the sophomores held their yearly election for class officers. Led by their officers, this class promises to be successful and outstanding.

First Year a Success For Freshmen September 8. was the big day. Eighty-two freshmen, excited and a little scared, entered S. B. C. However, they proved to be a class of ambitious students ready to participate in the various school activities with great loyalty. After the election of their officers they showed determination to contribute to the activities of the school as much as possible. The support of the annual bazaar was their main contribution. New to most of them was our annual retreat, from which they derived great benefit. If we are to judge their future by their spirit and initiative, the class of ’52 will put our Alma Mater really on the map. FRESHMEN CLASS Room 201 Left to Right: Standing: R. Isban A. Derda D.
