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

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

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. Reverend Bernard Szudzinski Reverend Lawrence Wnuk
