Richard Dudek Barbara Klewicki Valedictorian Salutatorian In the Glow of Honor The structure and the results of American education can be no better than its leadership. The present uneasiness of a war-weary people in an age which glories in material progress prompts the necessity of imbuing future po- tential leaders with a true perspective of the great realities of life. St. Ladislaus High School holds training for leadership as one of its foremost vital educa- tional objectives. Students are evaluated and recommended for honor awards on the basis of high scholastic rating, effective participation in student government, and earnest, whole-hearted participation in co-curricular activities. Barbara Klewicki, Richard Dudek, Leona Rodziewicz, Loretta Laslo, Ted Lasko, Joanne Szefi, Ger- aldine Gustanski, Irene Wiencus, Raymond Winiarski, and John Swol of the class of 1954 have blazoned the proud emblem of honor with high scholastic attainments over a period of four years. Two organizations with motives of advance- ment and service—Kiwanis International and the Rotary Club—annually recognize several Ladislites for scholastic achievement and lead- ership. The Rotarians realize their ideal of benevolence by the presentation of a beautiful watch. This year the gift of distinction was awarded to Barbara Klewicki. The Kiwanians presented an award of equal distinction, which was merited by Richard Dudek. In addition, the Kiwanis Club offers a student trip, with ex- penses fully paid, to Wolverine Boys State at Michigan State College. Recipient of the offer in 1954 was Donald Warda, a junior. 14
