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

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
