Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1957 volume:

THE 1957 row Volume Number 21 The Torch Staff St. Ladislaus High School Hamtramck, Michigan TO LADISLITES, LIFE’S LESSONS LEND ENCHANTMENT JOY gives character to life. Under its impact, life expands. From its deep- welled source, springs a divine restlessness for better things. Highschoolers by their very nature are joyous and gay. Study, play, and prayer, like heavenly fountains, overflow their beings with the charm of salutary joyfulness. Beaming, bustling freshmen bubble with joy as their wonder world, under the friendly guidance of upperclassmen, takes on a new look of enchantment. The everchanging, spirited sophomores, with serious concentration and hours of pleasure, set their sights on challenging goals. With spark and spirit, the busy, fun-loving juniors turn their daily toil and tasks into a hymn of joy. Sen iors, with deeper knowledge, ardent hopes, and joy serene, prepare to hurl themselves into the whirlwind of future events. Beneath the flood of their joviality, runs a serious strain. In the ceaseless, boundless round of activity, students weave life’s intricate pattern. With talent and ambition, they seek opportunities for leadership, putting into action the real- ization of their capacities at the highest possible level. As they establish them- selves in true relation with God, their fellowmen, and the universe, they develop their personalities. The 1957 Torch echoes, in sweet refrain, the true art of living. In its joyous abandonment to the right and the good lies the common heritage of every Christian. table of contents Envisioning Broader Horizons Principals and Faculty......................................... 4 Spanning the Tide of Individuality Seniors .......................................................12 Juniors........................................................32 Sophomores.................................................... 35 Freshmen ......................................................39 Ascending Heights of Joyous Achievement Classes and Activities........................................ 45 Sports.......................................................

PAGE 3 ADMINISTRATORS Sight Immeasurable Blessings As a spiral of incense, joy diffuses itself. There is a realization of I i f e s I e ssons where the gay science abounds. In its glow at St. Ladis- laus, students live cheerfully, intensely. Father Anthony Majewski has planned a many-faceted jewel in our parish unit. Its many lights, stemming from his inner devotedness, are reflected from every facet: the new church, the high school, and the elementary school. Profiled against the persistent influx of modern ma- terialism, the parish delineates its God-given purpose and design. Moored in the bedrock of joyous grace and steady faith, St. Ladislaus High is a bulwark of sound training. From a two-year commercial, it has grown to a senior high, now fully accredited by the University of Michi- gan. The gradual increase in enrollment ranks it with the five largest Catholic secondary schools in the Detroit Archdiocese. Twenty-one graduating classes have stepped from its doors. The 1957 seniors boast 121 as the largest number of graduates of any one class in the school’s hi story. The harmonious development of spiritual, intellectual, and social powers prepares individual characters and capacities to fit themselves in the mood and beauties of a changing world. For the youth, charac- terized by an exuding alertness, health, and vitality, provisions for physical development have been made. The three major sports are open to individual, and intramurals, to group performers. Though one of the smallest entries in the parochial league, the Greyhounds gained divi- sional laurels in football and basketball. For three consecutive years, they have captured the crown in baseball. For effecting greater maturity, the students participate in class and club activities according to a scheduled year-round program in the building, newly remodeled for gym and auditorium purposes. Against this background, the soul-searching insight of our beloved pastor has, for thirty-five years at St. Ladislaus, clothed multitudinous ideas in actuality. With heartfelt appreciation to Father Majewski, essaying the role of constructive guide, we dedicate our saga of activi- ties, ideals, and accomplishments — the 1957 Torch. PAGE 5 Reverend Eugene Kijek The FACULTY Arouses Us to Truth, Too Deep for Song .... The priest is one of the greatest blessings to mankind. His is the most sublime vocation on earth. Chosen from among men, he receives a call to highest happiness. Ordained for the things that pertain to God, he is the joy of the faithful. With the lamp of Christine truth, he illumines the world of lights and shadows. We recognize with honor the office and dignity of our parish priests. Their close relation to the Holy Eucharist opens for us the flood-gates of grace. By word and example, they are vitalizing currents where spiritual values come first. The Holy Mass is the true core of the entire curriculm for it is the epitome of all for which Catholic training stands. Other ministrations- Holy Communion, vocational guidance, the Stations, the Rosary, the Choir, the Acolytes group, conferences in pulpit and classroom - are as much part of enlarging the total personality as are the things more commonly recognized in the world today. Physical fitness fosters alertness of mind. Through an athletic program, well-defined by our priests, numerous grid, court, and sandlot facilities have been made available for our relaxation and healthful I iving. Under wi se supervision, social virtues at dances and like activities sponsored by the various classes have been cultivated. Fusing spiritual and educational objectives, our priest faculty girds youth with ideals pertinent to the Christian way of life. HONOR SOCIETY LEADERS reflect scholarship and leadership. Father Eugene Kijek installs the officers of the Ladislite Chapter of the National Honor Society. Accepting stoles which symbolize the nobility and duty of their positions are: Betty Lou Gasperut, secretary; Bernadine Dudek, treasurer; Frank Plizga, president; and Carol Sowa, vice-president. Christine Stachelek was chairman for the assembly. PAGE 6 DESIRE FOR ACHIEVEMENT runs high in the newly instated Student Council officers, Father Cos imir Wiercioch reflects. The new members are: James Abrams, Dolores Gagel, Paul Grubba, Betty Traczynski, Joan Sieczkowski, Frank Plizga and Thomas Grubba. PAGE 7 Rev. Casimir Wiercioch Rev. Lawrence Wnuk Sister M.

Social Studies, Ethics And Attunes Our Lives to the Basic Note of Franciscan Joy. The rapturous song of Franciscan joy in God, of God, and from God” reiterates, in dulcet refrain, that in the tangled thickets of the modern world, values worthiest of pursuit are those re- sounding inner melodies within the sanctuary of the soul. Our high school is staffed by thirteen Sisters of Saint Francis--the community founded through the zeal of Mother M. Adelaide forty-one years ago in Sylvania, Ohio. Inundated with the living waters of prayer and joyousness, of which the seraphic troubadour St. Francis of Assissi, par- took so deeply, they present the criteria for com- plete, cultured living. With captivating approach, they inspire in us salutary desires and purposes, in this mechanized age of ours, for Franciscan ideals. In the'modern maze of living threatened by secular seepage, with directive note, they arouse us to the need for Catholic Action. The academic and professional qualifica- tions of our teachers, sturdily anchored through in-service and graduate training, are endorsed by such widely recognized institutions os the Uni- versity of Michigan, Fordham, Notre Dame, St. Louis, University of Detroit, Collegeof St. Teresa, and the Catholic University of America. Our faculty seeks to integrate intelligent idealism and the acquisition of skills, that in the face of the future, foreboding skies of error or buffetings by the frenzied winds of corruption, we might be steeled by a sterling, stolid joy of spirit. Happiness is infectious. In joy and peace rests our American birthright of freedom. PAGE 9 Sister M. Eileen, B.S.E. Science, Typing, Shorthand, Social Studies, Ethics Sister M. Germaine, B.A., M,A.

PAGE 78 ATHLETICS “Francis possessed the iron determination of those who achieve great deeds . . . the self assurance of the haughty, the spirit of submission of the meek.” Larry Chadzynski, Coach Reverend Casimir Wiercioch Athletic Director HANDICAPS BESIEGE VICTORY-BENT GRID SQUAD Plagued by injuries and limited reserve strength, the talented Greyhounds lost sight early of bright new hor- izons. They closed the campaign with a 2 win� 5 loss record. Transformed from a senior-staffed to a sophomore- studded team, the players mustered 66 points against the foes 55 in the first three games, and a gruelling 13 in the remaining four tilts. Fifteen lettermen, including eight starters, were among the 30 boys who turned out at Lasky Field: Co-captains DonGleneski (LG) and Bob Sulczewski (RT); Frank Zacharias (LE); Dick Matkowski (LT); Frank Plizga (C); Charles Shereda (RG); Gerry Socha (QB); and Dick Sulkowski (FB). Sporting new uniforms and tuned to the new coaching team of Larry Chadzynski and T. John Radwanski, the gridders, though having made no flashy display, featured stamina and talent of a well-balanced squad with special emphasis on a strong line. Seniors Charles Shereda, Don Gleneski, and Frank Plizga formed its nucleus. Most valuable as field marshal and fast, aggressive guard, Gleneski, moved to an All-City and an All-State Honorable Mention berth. Sparking the hapless grid squad, invulner- able Chuck ' Shereda who is a three-year veteran, played nearly the entire route of every game. When sidelined because of injuries, the Greyhounds missed the services of Coach Chadzynski's best line-backer, Plizga, noted for his defensive consistency. The SLH offense centered around the passing of Socha and the running of Krolewski. The Socha-Zacharias combo was a repeated threat to opponents. Speedy, swivel-hipped Krolewski amassed three 6- pointers and 176 yards when the Ladsmen clobbered the St. Charles Dragons with a 21-point spread. Score: 32-12. St. Lad's succumbed to its local arch-rival, 31-0. Though the sun shone through on the deadly tackling of Plizga, and although the SLH gridders took to the air, they were unable to dent the Lancers. The injury-laden Caniff crew was held scoreless by the stalwart St. Ambrose offense in the Homecoming festivities. The home boys bowed to the Cavaliers, 34-0. A wave of Teuton touchdowns swept away the local lads, 54-6. A pass play from Socha to newcomer Ray Kozuch chalked the lone Greyhound counter in the Hamtramck Goodfellows game. Socha kept hopes alive in the closing three minutes of play with St. Catherine. With a 22-yard jet bomb hurled to Kozuch, followed by the QB’s conversion, the final contest ended, 34-7, in favor of the Warriors. In the season's first league bid, the Greyhounds charged into the powerful Servite Panthers, but were subdued, 38-13. An impressive pass arched from Socha to sure-handed Zacharias, the QB’s conversion, and a 52- yard romp by super-charged scatback Krolewski tallied the digits. The Scarlet and Gray unfurled its first victory, 20-6, in the tangle with St. Stanislaus Broncos. Lanky flanker Zacharias highlighted the test when he snagged a Socha aerial. The hefty QB powered for one TD, and Dick Sulkowski, for the other.

John Radwanski. A solid team in a solid parochial network, St. Lad’s varsity loomed as one of the strongest threats in the East Side circuit. With know-how, fire, and dash, Coach Robert Samaras's firehouse five was in heated action throughout the season. In an 8 win - 2 loss record, the squad hit a 641 count against the opponents’ 493. Suffer- ing only two setbacks, SLH was edged by the Servite Panthers only by one counter, and by the SS Broncos, by a four-point margin. The Greyhounds were among the first to set a new parochial division high as they knotted a score of 104 with St. Catherine. Co-captain Marvin Schultz toppled all previous individual varsity records with a 41 all-high in the game. Returning lettermen to boost next year’s cage hopes are John Karp, Len Dziuk, and Joe Mlodzianowki. Rangy Kozuch, who scored competently in every game to keep the Greyhound fans happy, was almost un- animously named to the first team All-City berth. He also received All-State Honorable Mention. The flashy forward had a remarkable free-throw average sinking 48 of 58 attempts in 10 league games. He tanked 49 per cent of the field-goal attempts to wind up with a 20-point average. In common from the opening whistle, the Greyhound varsity notched an impressive league opener with a sparkling 65-53 decision over the St. Charles Dragons. Floor leaders in the whirlwind finish,—Schultz, control- ling the boards and Kozuch, set shooting,—netted 26 and 22 points, respectively. The Caniff contingent clobbered the St. Catherine Warriors, 60-37. Speedy, scintillating live -wire Kozuch shared scoring honors with ’’Mighty Mite Lukasiewicz, peppering the buckets with 14 points each. In a nip-and-tuck game with St. Anthony, the Grey- hound club mauled the Teutons, 71-43. Kozuch showed the way with 26 points. Dave Steplitus. Bob Lukasiewicz, and Leonard Dziuk, each had 10. After last-minute rally. Servite took a microscopic edge over the Greyhound shotmakers, 50-49. Kozuch and Lukasiewicz led with 16 and 12 markers, respectively. This cagey combo, with 12 buckets apiece, assisted pivotman Schultz spark the home hoopsters to subdue the St. Florian Lancers, 55-44. The hard-fighting Greyhounds ran into unexpected opposition in their foremost challenge with the Broncos. In the final seven-minute mark, St. Stanislaus broke a 40-40 deadlock, bucketing two free throws. Schultz’s hook shot tied the score again, 46-46. The Broncos’ lone shot and two free throws prevented the Lads from making up the four-point deficit. Top pointmen were Kozuch with 17 and Schultz, with 15. The highest score in St. Ladislaus cage history was made when Coach Samaras boys annihilated the St. Catherine Cavaliers, 104-54. Marv Schultz set the blis- tering pace with 41 points, on 14 field goals and 13 free throws. With a hold on the Dragons set by Schultz's jump-shot within ten seconds of play, for the second time the Caniff Quint overpowered St. Charles, 61-44. Kozuch gripped the score with 17; Len Dziuk with 14; Bob Lukasiewicz and Dave Steplitus, with 11 markers apiece. Sweeping past St. Ambrose, 69-47, the cagey home hoopmen surged out of the Cavaliers' scoring reach as Lukasiewicz and Kozuch bucketed 13, and Co-captain Schultz, 14 tallies. Doubling their foe's output, the Greyhounds walloped St. Anthony, 71-35, to wind up their Parochial League First Division east, season with an 8-2 mark.

The victory gave the Lads the First Division east, reserve crown on a 10-0 record. Almost doubling their opponents, with a one-two- three scoring punch, the Greyhounds compiled an astounding 706 total to the opponents' 356, with 64.2 to the foes’ 32.4-point average. In the individual scor- ing chart, Alan Ketchie, averaging 17.9 markers per game, peppered the nets with a total of 323; Joseph Mlodzianowski's average of 10.4 tallied 145 points; playmaker Captain Gerald Morawski and forward Gene Barbish, 163 and 152, respectively. Freshman guard Ricky Polakowski contributed with a helpful 102 buckets. Led by the threatening combo from the outset, the Junior Greyhounds overwhelmed St. Charles, 71-34. With red hot Ketchie and bombing Ricky Polakowski, adept from all spots on the court, the reserve hoop- sters again doubled their score, bolting St. Anthony, 75-32. Hitting 28 field goals and 15 out of 20 foul shots, Radwanski's boys had little trouble trouncing Servite, 71-41. With spectacular marksmanship, Ketchie gar- nered 20 points in the tussle with the Panthers. Two foul shots by Barbish in the dying moments of the game enabled St. Lad's to slip by St. Florian's with an undefeated record, 51-47. Dead-eye Rock Polakowski copped 5 field goals and 2 charity tosses for 12 points. Captain Morawski's super ball-handling completely outwitted the St. Charles' Dragons in the 65-25 deci- sion. The 24 5 lead at halftime made an opening for a St. Lad’s second string display during the entire third and fourth quarters. Complete control of the boards by Mlodzianowski accounted for the Greyhound clobbering of St. Ambrose, 85-12. Fiery brand Ketchie combined set-with spectac- ular jump shots to rattle the cages for an amazing 30 points. St. Lad's junior basketballers rested their East Side laurels in the final victory of the season with St. Anthony, 55-26.

GREYHOUNDS CAPTURE FOURTH DIAMOND CROWN “A banner year! —was the prediction of Greyhound coaches, athletic directors, sport scribes, and fans— for SLH, fielding the best Parochial League team in the city. In fulfillment, a banner year it turned out to be. The St. Ladislaus batsmen added their second Catholic League title in the past three years, unleashing a 6-1 decision over highly-favored Austin Catholic High at Manz Field. The contest pitted the First Division's Eastern champion and Western titlist with the winner gaining title to supremacy over all Parochial League teams in the metropolitan Detroit area. Also, clinching the East Side First Division title for the fourth time, St. Lad's gained its position as a perennial diamond monarch in Parochial circles. In 1957 champions hold one of the most fabulous baseball records in the nation. Behind sensational pitching and explosive hitting, they have chalked up 41 victories in 43 starts in the past four years. Coach Bob Samaras, former Northwestern High and Wayne State University player, has masterminded them to 30 victories in 31 games. St. Lad's also won the Parochial title in 1954, winning 10 and losing only 2 under Coach Art May. The Greyhounds were powered at the plate by mound magician David Steplitus, one of the most bril- liant peggers in Michigan high school circles with a .388 clip; catcher Dick Sulkowski, robustly topping with a .538 first sacker Jerry Lubanski, with a majestic .470; and Schultz, Dziuk, and Pelc, with identical .333 averages. Top-motch righthanders Gerry Socha and Ben Skrzypczak were ready to step into any necessary breach. Fanning six batters and walking one, Socha master- fully pitched his second one-hit game of the season, as St. Lad’s High blasted St. Florian's 14-0. Heading the hit parade were Lubanski who homered and singled to drive in five runs, Pelc, two singles and two runs- batted-in; Sulkowski, a homer and four runs-batted-in. The Greyhounds edged their Hamtramck rival in the second contest, 1-0. Lubanski again claimed hit- ting honors with three for three and drove in the winning run in the first inning. Dziuk, shortstop, had a three base hit and scored the winning run. Allowing four hits, walking five, and striking out seven, Step- litus was the winning pitcher. The twin victories over St. Florian's definitely decided St. Lad's power and guaranteed at least a tie for the First Division East Side Title. The championship game with Austin Catholic loomed a pitcher’s battle. Even with the added stimulus for victory, however, that all but four ball players were together as a team for the last time, up to the sixth inning it looked like a playoff loss. Then the Grey- hounds exploded on Austin—with six straight hits. After pitching hitless baseball for five and two thirds innings, Austin’s Gary Mettie walked Kar with two out in the sixth, and Dziuk was safe on an error. The roof collapsed on Mettie as Lubanski followed with a single to center. Schultz and Pelc cracked out doubles; Steplitus, Socha, and Sulkowski finally stunned Mettie and the Friars with three more solid singles. Steplitus, ace of coach Bob Samaras’ mound staff, went all the say for SLH. He had 8 strikeouts and walked one. Snapping a 13-game Austin winning streak, St. Ladislaus High avenged last year’s 3-2 playoff loss to Austin — ending the season with a perfect record. PAGE 98 MOUND MAGIC is the secret formula of Coach Bob Samaras' pitching trio, whose championship team possesses one of the most fabulous diamond records in the nation. Bonus baby ' southpaw Steplitus displays fine form in the final meeting with righthanders Ben Skrzypczak and Gerald Socha. David Steplitus Ace Pitcher WINNING PITCHER and one of the most brilliant in Mich� igan high school circles is carried off by Greyhound team mates after the victory over Austin Catholic for the Parochial League First Div. title. Dave cleared the beaten paths of scouts to his home by signing to a $4,000 bonus contract to the Philadelphia Phillies.

It’s logical. This is a growing company in a growing industry. And growth always creates problems. This is also a pioneering company, constantly challenging the accepted ways of doing things. Challenge, opportunity, progress . . . they’re like steps. The steps that lead to a satisfactory career. And advancement within the company is the standard practice rather than the exception. We have heard it said that Edison is a good place to work. True! One of the reasons that makes it so—particularly for high school graduates entering the business world for the first time—is that Edison people are friendly, sympathetic and helpful. If you reside in metropolitan Detroit, we invite you to visit our Employ- ment Department, 2000 Second Avenue. Elsewhere, job application forms are available at any Edison customer office.

Those girls are so attractive and have such friendly, pleasant manners.” They’re talking about Lucy, who started working for Michigan Bell right out of high school. She was trained by friendly, understanding supervisors and today she’s proud of her work; enjoys a fine salary, regular wage increases, and many new friends. Lucy was delighted from the very first by the clean, pleasant surroundings, by the regularly scheduled mid- morning and midafternoon “breaks” for relaxing in comfortable lounge rooms, and by the opportunities for advancement. Isn't that the kind of job you want? Then why not get in touch with us now? We’ll be happy to tell you more about the variety of interesting telephone jobs available to high school graduates.
