St Ladislaus High School - Torch Yearbook (Hamtramck, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1956 volume:

1956 Foreword Growth—a highschooler's kaleidoscope of colorful, spirited ex- perience. Every worthy achievement in the variegated pattern on school life, transforming the daily routine, makes each individual different from the next. Under the many-hued impact of scholastic competition, dramatics, athletics, broadcasts. Catholic Action, stu- dent government, and retreat—every Ladislite is unique, changing and growing with each new situation. Our responses as a student body strikingly portray growth at St. Lad's, rooted in its traditions of two decades ago. Eager, energetic, freshmen are readily absorbed into the high school whirl. Self- confident, though oft bewildered sophomores, soon begin to realize their capabilities and limitations. More experienced, fun- loving juniors face the exciting challenge of goals that the search for knowledge sets before them. The seniors, with a dash of maturity and the underslassmen's buoyancy, rise to full stature to face the indefinite shadows of the future. They have yet to realize that the only real progress is that which involves the progress of self. Aglow with wisdom and grace, they advance that, as masters of themselves, they might lead others on the charted course of life. Lads and Lassies, we seniors hold high the Torch of 1956. It casts light on our talents and ambitions, our expectations and fail- ures, our triumphs and achievements. Herein begins the measure of OUR growth . . Unto every one of us is given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. (Ephesians IV, 7) 2 Contents ... highlights of SLH’s twentieth year... 3 Vigilantes Root Us in the Rule of Life Reverend A. A. Majewski Pastor 4 Chief among our blessings of the twentieth anniversary year Is the crowning fullness of vision of Father Anthony Majewski. From its beginnings, our devoted pastor's guiding spirit has governed the rate of growth at St. Ladislaus. Drawn in accord with the blueprints of Christian living, the parish, sustained in vitality through perennial interest, soon budded into full fruition. The moral fiber was buttressed as the tender new shoots under his care waxed strong in a newly organized elementary school. Its robust growth necessitated first the establishment of a two year commercial, and later that of a senior high school. Twenty years ago, the first graduating class stepped from its doors. Having since then attained full accreditation from the Uni- versity of Michigan, St. Ladislaus High School has risen to a peak enrollment of the five top-ranking secondary schools in the Detroit Archdiocese. This year, ninety-three join its graduates' ranks. To insure sound growth, true education concerns itself with de- veloping a well-rounded individual. Through the recent conversion of the former church building into gym and auditorium purposes, opportunities for promoting better human relationships through stu- dent participation in assemblies and programs, as well as social ac- tivities, have markedly increased. Also, this year a public address system has been installed. To keep students in good form, physical training has made prominent strides in the program. Though one of the smallest schools in the League, the Greyhounds were in the top rung of the three major sports, having gained crowns in football and basketball, and twice in baseball. Plans for the organi- zation of a marching school band and a drum majorette unit, which will perform at football games, have been completed. From senior to sophomore, from alumnus to freshman—all at St. Ladislaus High revere Father Majewski for his unflagging interest in its problems, its programs, and its progress. Through his self- effacing sympathy, our endeavors are heightened spiritually, scho- lastically, physically, and socially. Through unstinting sacrifice, he has implanted in us the rule of life for dual citizenship, — in time and in eternity. For his valued benevolence, we, the twentieth graduating class, tender sincere and heartfelt thanks through the pages of the 1956 Torch. 5 Chosen from among men, the priest is or- dained for the things that pertain to God. He acts in the name of Christ. He exceeds the power of all men in the Holy Sacrifice. His is a great power over souls. At prayer, work, or play we esteem our parish priests. We honor them in their dignity; we hon- or them in their office. Their ministrations—Holy Mass, frequent Communion, Retreats, Stations, the Rosary, vocation talks, spiritual assemblies, the Choir, the Acolytes' group, conferences in pulpit and classroom—are as much a part of the development of the whole individual as are the things more commonly recognized in the world today. 6 Reverend Eugene Kijek Conditioning of the body fosters alertness of mind. Through a sports program, well-defined by the resourcefulness of our priests, numerous facilities on the grid, sandlot, and court have been made available for our relaxation and phy- sical development. Under wise and acute super- vision of our social activities—be they dances, proms, or formal affairs sponsored by the various classes—have been cultivated social tendencies necessary for our growth. Integrating spiritual values with educational objectives, our priest faculty seeks to implant ideals which form the core of true Christian liv- ing.

Social Studies, Ethics Paramount to ultimate growth is the development of tendencies and attitudes in the individual. To a considerable extent, they determine our influence for good or for evil. Our high school teaching staff, comprised of thirteen Sisters of St. Francis whose motherhouse is in Sylvania, Ohio, is geared to the true and total interests of the teenager, hedged in by chaos and confusion. Their lives, closely spun in the Francisan design of charity, have exemplified for us growth within the framework of our faith. Thdir close imitation of Christ mirrors luminously the true meaning of integrity and moral worth. With judicious effort they have guarded us against apathy and indifference in the fulfillment of our responsibilities. They have created in us a desire to live well with our fellowmen. In every phase of life, theirs was an intensive campaign to establish criteria for true Christian living, to be followed after school days are ended. With an all-out preparedness of many years of experience and of thorough training in the universities of the nation, such as the University of Michigan, Notre Dame, Loyola, De Paul, St. Louis, and the Catholic University of America, our teachers have molded minds and hearts according to the best cultural traditions of both Church and society. 9 Sister M.

Visions of honors, glory, and new experience crown their explora- tion of academic and co-curricular subjects. A representative group, with a po- tential in scholastic achievement and leadership, qualified for the National Honor Society. By virture of excellence in literary standards maintained in the school publications, would-be journalists are eligible for the Quill and Scroll. Ability plus time was also the ticket in the Talent Show dominated by the senior galaxy. Hours of pleasure, serious concentration, startling discoveries in classes, clubs, and sports broaden their world. The representative showing of four outstanding seniors who participated in the Quiz 'Em telecast sponsored by the Detroit News marks their keeping well abreast of the times through current reading. The seniors make a closer imitation to democratic principles through Student Council duties, Hamtramck government day, and extend trips to the State and the Nation's Capitals. All activities meet student needs and interests, and serve as outlets for energy. The Varsity rooting lassies robustly lead the cheering section and Grey- hound fans to swell with pride as they sing the school song. The L-Club has no misgivings as it beckons in spring practice to the diamondeers, to set out with their pitching, hitting, and fielding combination for the third time to clinch the baseball title. In stirring meetings C.S.M.C. officers spur the student body into ways and means of supporting the Church's worldwide missions. The male min- strels of the Cardinal Mooney Liturgical Choir sing in mystic rapture at retreat. Holy Mass and devotions. On the note of melodic merriment, Senior Choralier leads usher in the sprightly tunes and dances of the annual operetta. Dramatic groups apply do-it-yourself brush techniques to scenery in Thespian productions and to posters for the Harvest Ball' and Springtime Frolic. FOR BETTER GROWTH—Like the gardener strength of soul. Counseling a senior quintet following the laws of growth in the working is Father Kijek. The upperclassmen are: John of his garden plot, the priest takes the view- Wojtowicz, Marvin Warda, Gerald Shirilla, point of the Divine Master in developing Henry Hartfelder, and Norbert Kendzierski.

Oh, for the busy life of a junior, whose privi- lege it is to join all organizations, conduct cam- paigns, and follow a course of study which is a stepping-stone to success. In the know, the juniors take the most active part in the school. They accept responsibility with prestige, stimulating drives for the United Foundation, the Catholic Student's Mission Cru- sade, the Bishops' Relief, and the new Hamtramck Library Fund. They distinguish them- selves in scholarship. The academic students receive the most honor certificates, whereas the business education students gain special awards for typing and bookkeeping. In literary merits, some students' entries rate first such as those in National High School Poetry and that of the out- standing girl in the Archdiocesan Development Fund Essay contest. The eleventh graders broad- en horizons of citizenship through major roles in student government and a day's visit to the Cap- itol at Lansing, Michigan. Of the five hundred students, no class has a more acute sense of belonging to the three- story red brick building on 2650 Caniff Avenue 28 First Row: Henrica Warminski, Rose Marie Hyso, Joan Garczewski, Betty Bush, Joan Mienaltow- ski, Christine Halasa, Mary Ann Kosin, Joan Guzik, Delphine Szymanski, Dolores Bin.

Zest and festivity temper their classwork as the scarlet and gray boosters prepare seasonal bulletin boards, colorful pep rallies, and inspiring programs, such as the Pope Pius XII Commemoration Symposium presented by the church history students. Practice makes perfect for the Lads, too, as every eleventh grader on the Varsity, with poise and power, reached All-City fame. Also, spring practice beckoned to the diamondeers who with their pitching, hitting, and fielding combination set out for the third time to clinch the baseball title. Social functions too, attract committees to share in making posters, help decorate the gym for dances, and draw up plans for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Future nurses, turn enthusiasts at their club discussions while at their meetings. Junior Achievers turn producers. In the ceaseless, boundless round of activity, the juniors grow into useful, fuller individuals. Under able leadership and through motivated in- terests they mold their personalities as the citizens of tomorrow. 29 First Row: Donald Gleneski, Robert Zrepskey, Roger Pelc, James Dzialak, Joseph McKolay, Richard Chalupniczak, Ronald Piusinski.

The second lap opens new fields of challenge for the highschooler through geometry, Latin, modern history, English, and Bible in the academic area, with bookkeeping and typing in the commercial sphere. The enthusiasm of the sophomores spans the full length of the school. Scholastically, they run the full course, mounting from the eleven-point level to the fifteen-point or all-A heights. The ability to accept responsibility marks their maturity. They take pride in their advancement. To the class officers and room representatives are open opportunities of accepting positions with the Mission Crusaders, the student government Council, the carolers, and the literary groups. To a considerable extent this year, the sophomore lads helped to retain the three major sports on the highroad to victory. Now more accustomed to the definite school pattern, the sophomores are ready to share with other students. As school rules and planning are part of the program, they help faltering freshmen to find their way about the building, to adjust themselves, and to form friendships. Working in unison with fellow students, they acquire a feeling of kinship to the world at SLH. 33 First Row: Roger Krzeminski, Ronald Pieczkowski, Gerald Kochanski, Thomas Sliwa.

Mystery and awe envelop the freshmen as excitedly they fry to get accustomed to SLH. Wide-eyed and wondering, they find them- selves in a welter of confusion. At the beginning, in the everchanging scene, they set off in alarm to the bells between classes, echoing voices, and more teachers and books than they had ever seen before. Shortly upon their initiation, the ninth graders grow seriously interested as they explore their new environs. They try to act more nearly adult as on occasion they mingle with upperclassmen. Read- ily, they share with the student body the spiritual vitamins packaged in prayer, the Sacraments, and daily Holy Mass. With frolicking nature, they swell the ranks of the marching band. In sports, the boys burst into a whirlwind of organized play on the reserve teams while the girls aim high in intramural basketball or tumble their way into the cheerleading section. Exuberantly starting afresh on the course they have chosen, the freshmen set out to make a new record for themselves. Some dis- tinguish themselves by qualifying for such awards as the National Scholastic Key and Honorable Mention bestowed on one girl and two boys. Bravely, they conquer their texts and assignments’ in Eng- lish, general science, Latin, religion, algebra or general math. Learning the secrets of study, as up-and-coming academic or business students, they lay the foundations for future careers. 37 First Row: Louise Jezusek, Irene Macybula, Rosemary Dudek, Joyce Gnatowski, Carolyn Antonowicz, Patricia Phillips.

In the anniversary year, two more seniors, Lorraine Domzalski and Gerald Shirilla, had a personal stake in St. Lad's traditions. From their budding freshmen days, they have wedged their way with scholastic rating, to the honors hilltop.

TIME OUT FOR GINGER An oration on femininity has answered many an age-old problem. When people misunderstand each other, things are bbund to happen. They did for Ginger Carol, a fourteen-year-old football fan, who, misinterpreting her father's speech to the high school student body, emerges with the fanatic idea that everyone should be allowed to do what they want to do. With this thought in mind, she ventures to try out for the varsity football team, her life-long ambition. At first, Howie Carol, her father, thinks that she has gone too far but after an argument or two with Mr. Wilson, principal of the school, he takes his daughter's stand courageously. His feelings on the matter are expressed to the fullest at the football field when he leads the crowd in a parade honoring his daughter, who has just scored the winning touchdown for the team. Agnes Carol, Ginger's mother, has her hands full with a juvenile delinquent father and a tomboy daughter. In the end, however. Ginger sets aside her helmet and shoulder pads for a more feminine view . . . Dates and Tommy. GRIDIRON GINGER—From be- neath shoulder pads, helmet, and football success, tomboy Ginger recovers her feminin- ity, with pluck and dates, to win Tommy. 65 This actor better not fool around with my girl. I guess he doesn't realize I'm the big man in this school. Fight 'em. Ginger, fight 'em, fight 'em. Beat 'em. Ginger, beat 'em, beat 'em. Rush right down that field like thunder.

Wlodkowski, R. Sulkowski, G. Socha. -- Captained by Edwin Borucki, one of the best halfbacks in St. Lad's history, the Greyhound grid team emerged a surprise package in the league. Despite Coach Kukorowski's rebuilding problems —unlike that of any other athletic front—which were brought on by heavy losses through gradu- ation and the hampering by injuries, the local eleven finished with a 3-3 record. The Greyhounds featured some of the best grid talent in the city. All-around athlete Borucki shared most of the offensive thrust, amassing a total of 440 yards on 306 yards rushing, and 134 yards on passes. All-City junior Don Gleneski was an outstanding clutch player who rallied the defense when it counted. His piling up tackles staved off a last-second score. Don meri- ted an All-State Honorable Mention berth, also. After three seasons as a center, All-City Bob Rachas has switched to end. The first class tackler's last-minute touchdown won the St. Catherine game, 14-12. An excellent linebacker, Frank Plizga was able to diagnose offensive plays. Though playing nearly the entire route of every game, the Iron Man was never hurt. In the initial skirmish with St. Charles, Bob Rachas scored on a 23-yard pass and Bob Cech's conversion provided a clear track for the grey- hounds. Though operating with clock-like proficiency, St. Lad's eleven could not dismantle the cross- town rivals. Breakaway Ed Borucki garnered the choicest morsel on a 54-yard pass play. Bob Cech's conversion put the Greyhounds ahead at the half, 7-6. Dick Sulkowski bolted St. Lad's TD on a 35-yard run. On the next play Gerry Socha threw a 9-yard pass to Frank Zacharias. The score in the first encounter with the Lancers was 31-13 The Greyhounds surprised the touted St. Am- brose by notching two TD's and staving off a late rally to edge the Cavaliers, 12-6. Captain Borucki staged his one-man fireworks, spurting over from the 12 to give St. Lad's an early lead. He caught a 25-yard pass pitched by Gerry Socha to clinch the victory. In a rain-soaked field at Mack Park, the de- fending champion St. Anthony eleven routed a game the Greyhound crew, 35-6. The local boys' lone tally came in the final quarter when Lulu Borucki scurried 12 yards around end. Though trailing 12-0 in the fourth quarter, St. Lad's tallied twice within four minutes, eking out a 14-12 win over the St. Catherine Warriors. Right halfback Ray Wlodkowski climaxed a 65- yard march on a plunge from the two. The War- riors' lead lasted just long enough for Greyhound Bob Rachas to get his hands on the ball and outrun the safety man for the winning touchdown. In the final campaign, without the services of ace halfback Edwin Borucki, out of action with an ankle injury, the Greyhounds were snowed un- der an array of Servite backs, 36-13. Quarter- back Gerry Socha bowled over from the one. Woody Wlodkowski heaved a 25-yard pass to Frank Zacharais in the League windup. First row: N. Mytyk, R. Piusinski, A. Wieczorek, S. Kwiatkowski, F.

Krawczyk, Coach Larry Chadzynski, Student Manager T. Laske. mm EDWIN BORUCKI, LH. 5 ft. 9 in. 170 pounds Captain Edwin Borucki completed his fourth year as a left halfback. He was a terrific short yardage runner and the Lads' leading ground-gainer. Because of his stamina and will to win, the triple-threat back ranks as one of the finest in St. Lad's history. HENRY HARTFELDER, RH. 6 ft. 160 pounds Hercules” proved his worth as an outstanding de- fensive halfback in midsea- son. Despite a painful hand injury. Hank managed to be in on the majority of tackles and at the strategic spot to break up enemy pass plays. KEN KRAWCZYK, G. 5 ft. 11 in. 155 pounds Granite-like defenseman and competent blocker on of- fense was Ken Krawczyk. He played guard, center, and end in his 3-year tenure as a Varsity member. STAN KWIATKOWSKI, G. 5 ft. 11 in. 155 pounds Although a trim 155 pounds, Stan was equally outstanding on offense and defense at the all-important guard position. Throughout the campaign, hustling Stan kept opponents on the alert. 90 BOB RACHAS, E. 6 ft. 1 in. 175 pounds An exceptional ball handler and pass snagger, Bob divided his season between center and end. His touchdown snares provided the margin of victory in two important conquests. At 175 pounds, he had the speed and fortitude of an excellent two-way end. RAY WLODKOWSKI, RH. 5 ft. 9 in. 165 pounds The sturdily built lad is a newcomer to the SLH gridiron. Ray won the respect of enemy linemen with his bull-like rushes and bullet passes. TOM LENDZION, T. 6 ft. 185 pounds Durable Tom is a fine, ag- gressive ball player, known for his blocking in the for- ward wall. The six-footer is a bulwark of strength on de- fense. FRANK RODZIEWICZ, FB. 5 ft. 9 in. 180 pounds Three years on the Varsity, Frank combined his talents as fullback and linebacker. He was very alert on defense and characterized his outstanding play by driving tackles. 91 IT IS NOT ALL PLAY—He is well paid who is well satis- fied. With one accord agree the Greyhound gridmen, who at the season's end, relish in banter, food for body and mind at the Tau Beta Commu- nity Center. Annually, they are guests at the football banquet sponsored by the In- ternational Kiwanis Club.

OOPS, WHERE'S THE BALL?—Catapulting into the air, the pigskin soars over the outstretched arm of Bob Rachas. THE SEASON'S FIRST—In the initial contest, the unerring arm of Bob Rachas snared the first TD as a grim- high-flying faced defender Chico Gutierrez (23), watches disconsolately. AS YOU SOW—Reaping through the defense, stalwart center Frank Plizga, with the able assistance of right half Henry Hartfelder, flays a jolting tackle of halfback Bob Willis and stops a St. Charles' touchdown. Closing up the gap are immovable linemen Don Gleneski, Robert Sulczewski and Frank Zacharias (49). NO, NOT AGAIN. —Awaiting the inevitable impact, senior ace halfback Ray Wlodkowski attempts to fend off a Servite lineman after a short but decisive gain. WHOA, THERE! —A bone-rattling tackle by Ed Bor- ucki, (70), jolts St. Florian end Bob Gutkowski while Hank Hartfelder, (27), dives for the finishing touch. 94 GRID GRAPH We THEY 9 St. Charles 6 13 St. Florian 31 12 St. Ambrose 6 6 St. Anthony 35 14 St. Catherine 12 13 Servite 36 ON THE ALERT—Dynamo tackle Bob Sulczewski, (50), and stellar fullback Prank Rodziewicz clear the way for shifty scatback Eddie Borucki, as he scampers for a long gain.

Mentors are: Coach John Radwanski, Varsity Coach Robert Samaras; extreme right, Athletic Director Reverend Francis J. Dolot. Veterans are: Bob Lukasiewicz, Len Dziuk, Dave Steplitus, Phil Chralowicz, Ray Kozuch, Marv Schultz, Jerry Lubanski, Roger Gietek Jim Dzialak, ._______- m t m it Coordination, Team Balance Spotlight Spur The Greyhound Varsity five displayed more potential this year . . . They're a real team . . . They work together smoothly, remarked Father Francis Dolot in glowing terms of the well-balanced SLH club which remained in contention for the league title even to the final week of play. We expect more help from John Karp, Phil Chralowicz, and Roger Pelc. Our big courtmen Marv Schultz, Ray Kozuch, and Bob Lukasiewicz show promise of coming through stronger next year—perhaps even with the East Side championship, confidently concluded the high school's athletic director. With the exception of Captain Robert Rachas, who led the SLH contingent through a 7-3 campaign, the entire squad will be back in harness. Cage savvy, masterful defense, balance, and plenty of poise merited senior Rachas and juniors Kozuch, Schultz, and Lukasiewicz entries into the All-City parade. In its opening league encounter of the year, a determined Greyhound quintet battled on even terms until the Lancers' scoring machine went into high gear with 25 points in the fourth quarter to sew up the game, 67-46. With the score deadlocked 61-all at the end of regulation play, Coach Samaras' boys outlasted the St. Ambrose Cavaliers, 69-67. Rangy pivot Rachas turned in a masterful floor job for the victors, pouring in 10 field goals and 4 charity tosses for 24 points. St. Lad's display of scoring poise and punch easily outhustled the St. Stanislaus' Broncos, 61-50. Two foul shots by Kozuch in the dying moments of the game enabled St. Lad's to eke out a hard-earned verdict over St. Charles, 53-52. Marv Schultz looped 15 points in his best effort of the year. Ray Kozuch peppered the nets for 10 baskets, leading the home hoopsters to a 58-36 rout over St. Catherine. With the defensive work and hot shooting of floor leader Rachas, the Caniff five ground out a 43-34 victory over St. Anthony. Bob rattled the cages for 17 points on 7 baskets and 3 free throws. Hopes for the First Division East Side title faded as the Lads were eliminated by Servite, 52-30, and by St. Florian, 74-51. Sharpshooter Lukasiewicz, with 8 field goals and 3 free throws for 19 counters, led the Greyhound quint to a 71-53 onslaught over St. Ambrose. The local hoopmen held off a fourth quarter surge by St. Stanislaus to wind up the final league game of the season, 67-65. St. Lad's took third place in league standings. In the District Tournament, the Greyhounds climaxed their creditable season with an upset, stopping crosstown rival St. Florian, 54-52. Captain Rachas and Ray Kozuch hit double figures (14) for the sparkling triumph. JSl LONG RANGE VIEW—Two heads are better than one in the all-important field of sports, affirm A. Director Reverend Francis J. Talbot and Coach Robert Sama- ras. Ever confident of boys, Father Dolot never miscalculates a decisive cage vic- tory after Bob, with serious mien and illustrative talk, pinpoints with pegmen the pass patterns, plays, and variety of defense to be used against rival quin- tets. NE'ER A MORE SERIOUS MO- MENT—Stamina and sacrifice make for success—thus realize cage hopefuls as they unite in seconds of prayer. Dave Steplitus (22), L'il Luke Lu- kasiewicz, and Lennie Dziuk (10) gain momentary momen- tum with team mates and coaches before the sound of the whistle for the St. Lad's Varsity-Alumni game on Steve Gromek Night. CHEERS AND CURLS — The Varsity cheerleading corps swings the student body into high-spirited action at pep rallies with original skits, songs, and yells. Rooters sparking the scarlet and gray grid squad on to victory are: clockwise, co-captain Louise Kotowicz, Barbara Sledzinski, Sandra Slaskey, co-captain Geraldine Davin, Dolores Bartkowicz, and Harriet Mat- uszewski. STEVE GROMEK DAY—Amidst depths of applause and a huge throng of parishioners, city officials, and sports guests, the Detroit Tiger pitch- er was hosted by the L-Club under the direction of A. D. Father Francis Dolot. The Steve Gromek Night festi- vities honoring St. Lad's favorite son for his contri- bution to major league base- ball and to the youth of the parish, included a cage tilt and a dance. The Reverend Anthony A. Majewski cli- maxed the event with the presentation of a trophy. V.

Grey- hound center Bob Rachas tried to get the initial tip-off but fails to outjump Lancer center Norm . Getting ready to spring are Marv Schultz (21) and Ray Kozuch (18). LEAPING LEN—Len Dziuk, St. Lad's only sophomore on the Varsity, shows true skill as he drives for two points against two onrushing St. Stanislaus' opponents. HIGH-FLYING—Towering over his opponents, Marv Schultz sails a hook shot over the outstretched arm of Bronco Ted Kuczera (8). Bob Rachas is eased out of the play by John Szwalec (6). SURPRISED?—Poised in the air is itellar guard Bob Lukasiewicz as his ump shot wings its way to the :ords as Bob Rachas and Marv Schultz close in underneath the Doards. ■ THAT MAN AGAIN—All eyes fol- low the path of the ball as it wings its way from the agile fingers of rangy center Bob Rachas towards the hoop. SPEEDO DOES IT—Taking advan- tage of a momentary lapse by his guard, Ray Kozuch with cat-like grace and finesse, sinks a fade- away jump shot in a tight game against St. Charles, while team mate Marv Schultz looks on. HOT SCORER—Although only 5' 6 , All City and All State guard Bob Lukasiewicz was perhaps the most dreaded and feared of all Grey- hound players. Here Mighty Mite Luke demonstrates why. He drives in for a jump shot while Bob Rachas and Marv Schultz anticipate the re- bound. JUMPING THROUGH — Al- though closely guarded by Ewald Kalapinski of St. Stanis- laus, Bob Rachas surges up- ward to bucket two points. HIGH AS A KITE—Bob Rachas, the main cog in the Grey- hound cage machine, feints out Norman Szumplawski of St. Florian's and leaps high into the air to score. VERSATILE—Bob Rachas who stands an even 6' 1 is the captain and the only senior on the squad. He averaged a respectable 11 points per game. Here Bob practices his left-handed hook shot for a decisive game. J. V. QUINT TALLY We THEY 36 St. Florian 33 32 St. Ambrose 29 22 St. Stanislaus 33 48 St. Charles 23 21 St. Catherine 29 48 St. Anthony 38 31 Servite 32 46 St. Florian 66 44 St. Ambrose 31 50 St. Stanislaus 37 FREE FOR ALL—Defensive whiz Roger Pelc (5) seems to be getting the worst part of the deal as he grapples for the ball. Greyhound Joe Mlodzianowski (9) and Richard Stockey Mroczek (8) try to assist him. FINGERTIPS—Roger Pelc, the Greyhounds' J.V. for- ward, bolts high into the air as he tips the ball away from a St. Florian hoopster. Team mates John Karp (12), Jerry Morawski (31), Alan Kaczanowski (4), and Flash Chralowicz (21) wait intently for the ball. Hopes Loom High In Jayvee Poise and Power Poise and power featured the outstanding offensive and defensive play of Coach John Radwanski's hustling J.V.'s. Netting 36.6 points a contest, the Junior Greyhounds ruled over opponents with a narrow edge. Holding them to 34.9 points a game, St. Lad's squad closed the season with a 6-4 record. Showing a stalwart defense, the Greyhounds caged their intracity rival, St. Florian, 16-13, in the opening league test. A late offensive spurt enabled the Caniff five to gain a 32-29 victory over St. Ambrose. Increased Bronco pressure stopped the scoring of the junior machine all through the first half of the skirmish with St. Stanislaus. Score, 33-22. Captain John Karp and Jerry Morawski, a pair of flying guards, spearheaded the whirlwind attack in which St. Lad's clobbered the St. Charles Dragons, 48-23. Trailing 23-21 at the end of the third quarter, the home basketeers were un- able to outscore the St. Catherine Warriors. Final score, 29-21. The Caniff five's steady team play made strong the second-half finish which lowered the boom on the St. Anthony Teutons by a 48-38 triumph. Scoring honors went to freshman Alan Kaczanowski, who flipped in 14 points, and to Roger Pelc and John Karp, who netted 13 points each. Surmounting a seven-point deficit in the second quarter, the St. Lad's J.V.'s came within two points of handing the Servite Panthers their first loss of the season, but dropped the highly contested game, 32-31. In a scoring splurge that seemed like Varsity competition, the home quint dropped a 66-46 tangle in crosstown Lancer rivalry. John Karp, a major asset in the St. Lad's aggregation, banged the hoops for 21 points. With a red-hot outburst, the Greyhounds had little trouble in vanquishing St. Ambrose, 44-31. To balance.an earlier setback brought on by the Broncos, St. Lad's emerged triumphant with its highest output of the season. Setting a blistering pace, the Greyhound J.V.'s left the St. Stanislaus' Broncos far back in the race, 50-37. HEADING HOME—Alan Kaczanowskl shows how he gets away his one-handed push shot as the ball goes sailing towards the basket in the St. Florian game. TOP POINT GETTER—Well-rounded Jayvee captain, John Karp (12), cuts loose for a two-pointer against the St. Florian's Lancers. Team mate Phil Chralowicz (21) moves his lanky frame into position under the basket. FOULED—During the course of a hard-fought game, J.V. guard Jerry Morawski looks hopelessly towards the basket as the ball is deflected in the opposite direction. C East Side First Division Championship A COACH'S DREAM TEAM—St. Lad's Varsity baseballers line up after scaling the heights of championship hill—for the third time. Top Row: Coach Bob Samaras, Gerald Daszkiewicz, Len Bensky, Tom Churilla, Frank Rodziewicz, Marv Schultz, Roger Pelc, Dave Stepiitus, Ray Wlodkowski, Assistant Coach John Radwanski, Sports Director Reverend Francis J. Dolot. Bottom Row: Bob Lukasiewicz, John Karp, Dick Sulkowski, Ed Borucki, Bob Rachas, Gerald Socha, Jerry Lubanski, Lennie Dziuk, Frank Drazkowski. A team's hustling spirit, plenty of savvy, and a repeat league performance is a dream any coach would covet. With twenty-three straight. Coach Bob Samaras' boys have tucked away an- other East side crown. The unbeaten string included the two intra-city rivals, St. Florian and Hamtramck High. The Ladsmen clinched their third straight title with the closest team, the Lan- cers, suffering three defeats. The team batting average for the nine games is a hefty .324. Individually, the averages are as follows: AB H PCT. Borucki, Edwin 35 14 .400 Schultz, Marvin 34 13 .382 Dziuk, Leonard 36 13 .361 Rachas, Robert 31 11 .354 Socha, Gerald 23 8 .347 Lubanski, Jerome 28 9 .321 Pelc, Roger 32 10 .312 Stepiitus, David 26 8 .308 Lukasiewicz, Robert 13 3 .230 Coach Samaras has pitched senior Raymond Wlodkowski and junior David Stepiitus, two highly touted southpaws into the contests. Stepiitus is rated as one of the top-notch parochial loop hurlers. He has never lost a high school game. He boasts of a 7-0 record this season. Dave has pitched a no-hitter and two one-hitters, and has given up an average of only three hits per game. In 43 innings, he had allowed 22 hits and 10 runs. He has struck out 74 batsmen. Raising the curtain on the third straight baseball campaign, the high-flying Greyhounds ran roughshod over St. Catherine's. Led by sparkplug infielder Marv Schultz, whose 4 hits included a double and a triple, St. Lad's varsity scored at least once in every inning, trouncing the Warriors, 20-3, at Manz Field. Star southpaw David Stepiitus allowed only 3 hits while striking out 11 men. Repeating his brilliant performance with 1 1 strikeouts, St. Lad's mound magician shut out the St. Anthony Teutons, 9-0, limiting them to 3 hits. Pounding out 4 tallies in as many trips to the plate, senior Ed Borucki paced the Greyhound hitters. Twirling the scarlet and gray game to an 8-2 decision over St. Ambrose Cavaliers, southpaw pegger Ray Wlodkowski held the opposing moundsmen to two singles. In the 11-hit attack, second sacker Roger Pelc was the game's winning star with 3 hits in 4 trips. Marv Schultz blasted out a home run with one on in the sixth inning. 107 In one of the weirdest plays of the high school baseball season, SLH kept its 18-game win- ning streak alive. Playing a determined Cosmos 9, — a non-league game wedged between af- fairs,—the Caniff squad edged out Hamtramck High, 2-1, in an extra-inning decision. Fanning 12 and walking 2, classy hurler Steplitus pitched shutout ball for seven innings. In the top of the eighth, Hamtramck pushed across a run for a 1-0 lead, only to have the SLH nine come on strong in the last half. With the Lads loading the bases on a single, and two infield hits, Roger Pelc bunted, as Bob Rachas crossed the plate with the tying run. During a controversy between the opposing second baseman and the umpire over Pelc's safety in the first baseline, Edwin Borucki pulled the game out of the fire by scampering from second to notch the winning tally. Final score, 2-1. Posting his second win of the campaign, Lefty Wlodkowski fanned eight and issued only one base on balls to defeat St. Stanislaus, 6-0. Catcher Bob Lukasiewicz garnered half of the Greyhounds' 4 hits. Steplitus' talented left arm emulated his previous one-hitter by defeating intra-city rival St. Florian, 4-0. The loss in which the Greyhounds limited the Lancers to only one safety, was the second for St. Florian's and practically eliminated it from competition for the title. Jerome Lubanski, Bob Rachas, and Roger Pelc led the winners with 2 hits apiece. The Greyhounds swingers had a big day, banging out 14 hits against the prospective St. Anthony ioadblock. In the 9-0 whitewash. Bob Rachas led the victors at the plate with 2 doubles and a single, and Ed Borucki hammered a triple and a single to drive in three runs. Marv Schultz, Jerry Lubanski, and Roger Pelc each had 2 singles. Cushioned by 8 runs in the first inning against St. Catherine, St. Lad's topflight hurler went on to notch his masterpiece — a no-hit no-run—fanning nine and walking only three. Dave aided his own cause with three hits to drive in four runs in the fracas. In the final non-league test of the season, the hapless Cosmos failed to snap St. Lad's victory skein. A towering home run deep into center field with the bases loaded to drive in 4 runs by Edwin Borucki, broke the game wide open. With a 11-4 score, the St. Lad's Greyhounds gained the second straight over intra-city rival Hamtramck and the twenty-third straight victory. The 1956 J. V. Edition of St. Lad’s Mound Corps:- First How: William Wieczorek, Thomas Dyki, Donald Kobylarz, Alan Kaczanowski, James Dzialak, Frank Drazkowski, Frank Zacharias. Second Row: Coach John Radwanski, Gerald Daszkiewicz, Frank Karczew- ski, Thomas Malek, Leonard Bensky, Eugene Barbish, Steve Melnyk, Richard Kowal. TOM CHURILLA—a stocky 6' 1 sen- ior did a splendid job of covering the outfield postures RAY WIODKOWSKI—a flashy south- paw hurler, twirled the Greyhounds to two sparkling two-hit victories over opposing nines. ROBERT RACHAS—Doubling as a catcher and an out- fielder is 6'1 senior Bob. Because of his height, he makes a good backstop for the pitcher. Also, he is capable with the stick.
