Our treasured memories can be found in only one place— the halls of St. Ladislaus High. Here we received a sound education which was permeated with Catholic doctrine. We were given many opportunities to develop our character spiritually, morally, intellectually, socially and physi- cally. Because of our serviceable locality, we were at an advantage over other Catholic teenagers. The nearness of our Church gave us the convenience of speaking to our God each morning at Mass and right after classes. Our school life will long be remembered for the friendships we hold so dear. To obtain research information, the library facili- ties were always within walking distance. Our social and sports activities, too, were directed toward our benefit. Years from now, we will recall the assemblies, dances and games which we enjoyed in our compact but neat gym. A youthful challenge entered our life, thereby motivating the knowledge and training required for our future careers. Thus, the halls of our Alma Mater truly enclose our life with its many joys, sorrows, triumphs and accomplishments.

Last class dismissal—what a pleasant relief for seniors Carol Stanczyk, Eugene Zajac, Irene Zimny and Lorraine Kuchorek. Like most of the other boys, Stanley Saladyk hastily removed his annoying tie. Although students could not wait for the dismissal bell to ring to release them for their busy after-school activi- ties, these treasured memories of school life will long be cherished by all. 8

it here In a rendition of the Christmas story, Glee club members Evo Drzewiecki, Mi- chael Filipek, Barbaro Rama and Chris- tine Solowski sang many gay carols. Admiring the beautiful magnolia blossoms in the garden at the Sisters' Convent were Carolyn Kaczmarek, Jerome Wilczynski and Kathleen Winner. This was always a colorful sight to behold in the springtime when students leisurely strolled to school. An added feature in the library was this magazine rack which freshmen Laura Kubik and Marilyn Dona carefully scrutinized. To receive God's special help with school work, students made visits to the Church. After classes was most convenient for Carolyn Kaczmarek, Bernard Brach, Charles Pycz, Nannene Wil- czynski and Carol Wodino who stopped to light a vigil light. 9
