This elevation strikes a niost responsive and joyful cord in the hearts of all residents of St. Marys liver since his arrival to Detroit in l'J37, Cardinal Mooney has shown a particular concern for the educational institutions at Orchard l.al4e popularly called The l'olish Seminary. .-Xt every opportunity he has inost willingly favored us with his advice and assistance. Cardinal Mooney has regularly taken part in our annual graduations and ordinations. His speeches on these occasions are among our niost nieinorahle possessions, emphasizing as they do the importance and purpose of St. Marys llis letter to l'olish A-Xinerican priests assenihled at the lfirst l'olish lfloiniletiq Convention sponsored hy St, Blary's in lilll. pointing out the needs and proh- lenis of the llolisll Mnerican pastorate, reniains a constant inspiration and challenge to us. Cardinal Mooney has also inspired us with a deep gratitude hy his pro- found understanding of and synipathy for the tragic sufferings of Catholic lloland. Not only has he heen an outspoken champion of the l'olish cause on the platforin and in the press, hut he also has called upon us to repay our nianifold deht to l'oland for its contrihntion and heritage to our life. llis appeal to our sense of gratitude has left a lasting echo in our hearts, an echo that one day will ring with action, So real and vital has heen Cardinal Klooney's influence upon St. Klary's and its residents. students and faculty alike, that future historians of l'olish :Xnierican life will have to devote a special chapter to his niany heneficent activities. XXX' of necessity must satisfy ourselves here siinply hy calling atten- tion to his niany services and hy expressing our sincerest gratitude in the fact of the tremendous indehtedness that lastingly hinds us to hint. s Edward Cardinal Mooney, D.D.

Reverend Stephen Xtoznicki was elevated to the rank of .Xuxiliary liishop of lletroit. Hur .Xlma Mater looked upon this elevation with pride and joy, for the l3ishop's zeal for the salvation of souls and his untiriug work. which earned him recognition, was hut a reflection of her training. Bishop XYoznieki has always been a shining example of the spirit of St. Bl'ary'sJa spirit that is the predominant factor hehind all the various activities of our institution-a spirit, which never has. nor never shall depart front the souls ol its many loyal sons. 'lihe career of liishop XYozniclci has heen intimately linked with our insti- tution. Serving as Yice Chairman on the lloard of Trustees. he has aided in directing the policies of our institution. He has visited us frequently and has taken part in the various affairs at Ft. Marys 'lihis loyalty stirs in the stu- dents of St. Mary's a deep. genuine feeling of attachment and profound respect for llis lixcellency. 'lihough the l3ishop's career was connected with St. llaryis. it was not limited to it. .Xs .Xuxiliary liishop of the iXrcluliocese of Detroit. this Apostle of Christ stands as the pastor of his vast flock and it is to him that his sheep look for paternal guidance. :Xt present Bishop Xtozniclqi is directing the League for Religious .Xssist- ance to l'oland. I-le helieyes that since we .Xmvricans of l'olish ancestry have received the true Faith. with its accompanying good virtues through our fore- fathers, it follows that the Church in l'olaud has fl right to looli to our as- sistance. so that her people may again have their churches and institutions of education as they did in the past. 'l'owarci this end the llishop has exerted great efforts. Thus do we proudly and respectfully pay trihute in this testimonial of the graduating class of l9-ffm to the Bishop, whose zeal and lahor have heen so powerful an inspiration in moulding us men of Christ and standard hearers of His Catholic Faith.

There is a feeling of joy in our hearts. for we have finally attained that prized goal of every undergraduate-Unmmencement Day! There is joy, for the rugged ship f '-lo throuf-'h storms and billows, rocks and shoals, has reached its port! o , g. .L And yet this happiness begins to fade. The pleasant memories of scholas- tic days begin to melt into a dim background and strangely enough, we find our joy permeated with sadness. For though Commencement signifies that we have happily realized a virile Catholic training and education, which will enable ns to make our way safely through the hazardous paths and adventurous trails of l.ife, it also signifies that we must say a sad farewell. lt is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to You-our dear Alma Mater, Xu longer shall we cross Your campus, no longer shall we pass Your huildings! But the days, months, and years, which we have spent within Your hallowed walls have been fruitful ones, for we leave Your portals fur- nished with Your gifts of Catholic training and liducation. XYe shall not waste Your gifts, but rather. we shall use them properly for the glory of Uod and benefit of our fellow men! Yet, a school cannot be greater, in any way, than the men who direct it and so to your Rector and Faculty. through whom You accomplished Your work, we bid a special farewell, grateful that they planned for our future with the broad. true education aims of Your founder. To our fellow students we say adieu and extend our wishes for a successful termination of their scholastic pursuits. 'lio our classmates, words of parting are most difficult. At this Counuence- ment llay we are together as a class for the last time. Soon we shall disperse! XYe will be together no longer! Yet. though we part, we will be ever united spiritually when our thoughts wend a pleasant way back to those days we spent together as undergraduates, for the memory of our campus activities. the inspiring professorial background and academic traditions, will ever bind our hearts to our Alma Mater.

They cannot seem to agree as to which of the two is a better mayor. The adjoining reading room of the library is occupied hy .Xdmiral lf. Solarczyk and Mr. F. XYiniarz, accomplished pianist. apparently engrossed in deep reading of their respective vocations. .X gale of laughter is heard amidst the gathering in the Castle, where Msgr. Herman, present rector of St. Iylaryls. Rev. A. lfgolik, head of the Department of Theology and Mr. R. Borowski, successful automobile manu- facturer are reminiscing about the good old days. Many pleasant and amus- mg memories are recalled-memories which will never be forgotten. The recreation room of Noah's Ark presents the Rev. XY.

Marzec, who appears to be thinking of the hours spent in practice in this gymnasium to bring glory and fame to St. Mary's through sports. He is presently joined by Mr. N. Gadzinski, owner of a chain of restaurant cafes and Rev. Uleksyk, professor of the classics. It does not appear difficult for them to recall the many happy hours they spent here. livening is drawing near and the sun is slowly setting over our beautiful Urchard Lake.

In other words it is fitting that we ask ourselves the question: VVhat have the four years at St. Marys given us? In the first rush of the many things that come to mind we can only say in answer: St. Mary's High School has given us very many things-pride in ourselves and our heritage, a flaming love of democracy and our country. training in character, a solid education, a home, friendships with boys our age from all over the country and warm associations with priests, who have been like real fathers to us. These and other things has St. Mary's High School given us during the four years spent here. If we were asked which of these things, in our opinion, are the most im- portant either now or in our future lives, I imagine that offhand most of us would hesitate before answering. As we think over the many aspects of our training, of the friendships and associations We have made, and of the solid education we have received, all of them seem important and very dear to us. liut after taking deeper thought, I believe that our answer would be something like this. Four years ago we looked forward to a life of gayety and merrymaking after graduation. To us, like to many others imbued with the modern philo- sophy of pleasure-seeking , success in life was synonymous with a lot of money, a big automobile, and what the world calls a good-time. These to us seemed the things worthy of effortg while the greatest evil that could befall us was the ridicule and laughter of the world should we fail to fall in line with wordly standards. Thanks to the untiring efforts of our educators, these ideas of success have changed. Today, we understand that success is measured not by the size of the pay-checks, nor by the size of the automobile, nor the applause of the world, but by hardships, sacrifice of self, by the problems that are squarely met and successfully solved. We have learned that our most important-our only business is to serve God and save our souls: all else is secondary and must be made to serve this most important end. In short, we have learned that the Catechism must not only be memorized, but-and what is most im- portant-lived. Today we understand that the success of every decent man depends on sacrifice, hard work, and persevering purpose. In a word it means the cross-and no cross no crown. Only hard, faithful and sinless labor brings the happiness and peace which the world seeks in its good-times. This truth seems so unreasonable that the world will not accept it. It is the truth ex- pressed divinely in the startling words that tell us that he who seeks his life, i. e. his good times, shall not find it, but he that shall lose his life. i. e. make sacrifices for a decent observance of the Ten Commandments, shall find hap- piness. Yet it is one thing to know the principles of decent living and quite another to live according to them. This we know from personal experience. How often have we not made resolutions to observe the rules of St. Mary's only to fail in a moment of weakness. These failures have taught us not to be over- felt-A s 'fwlit 69 I 'ig 5734 -, -f 4 fb E9 confident. to place our trust in tiod As we look forward to the crosses that will be placed on our shoulders whether we want them or not, we tremble. XVhat if we weaken and cast the cross down? Human nature is weak and abhors suffering-yet that is no reason to fail Christ. VVe, therefore. have 2. request to make of our friends whom we are leaving to continue their studies in these hallowed walls. 'Remember us in your prayers-please. lint that is not all. Our superiors know that a Catholic view of life is of little value to him who does not form habits of living' daily according' to it. Care was taken that these too were formed. Habits are defined, by the philosopher. as constant dispositions that tend to influence one repeatedly to perform similar actions. Such dispositions were formed in our minds and wills during our four-years stay at St. Marys XN'hen. four years ago we came to St. Blary's, we were strongheaded. and even stubborn. VVe felt important. But these illusions were soon dispelled. VVe soon learned that there are such things as discipline, order and subordina- tion. The program of our daily activities was mapped out for us according' to which we were expected to live. Uh! we didn't like it a bit-stoo many rules. too many bells. not enough freedom, too much like slavery-we called it facism. Our superiors we dubbed joy killers -old foggies, who forgot that they were once young. Yes, we resented this tedious routine. All our complaints, however, were futile-we just could not have things our way. Now, we must admit that our superiors were wiser than we. They knew that one day we must deal with people who will show us but slight con- sideration and who will not be servile to our commands. They knew that it is much easier to fall into strongheadcdness and selfishness, than to break these habits later on or to be in constant war with others. ln other words. all these rules were calculated to help us to become the men we wish to be. XYe've learned Christian standards and values in the classroom. Their applica- tion was a matter of discipline and effort in the concrete circumstances in which we found ourselves. The high school age is the time for concentrating on the formation of mental habits: such as those of industry, attention, and self-control. If good mental habits are not laid down during these formative years they will be learned less perfectly and with great difficulty later. ln many instances they will not be learned at all. XYe had the good fortune to study at St. Marys where the circumstances for the formation of such habits are more favorable than in the city. The daily program is a great help in the matter of habit formation. The time for study is a sacred thing. There are no outside distractionsg it was useless to think of the good shows in the nearby theaters-we just could not attend. so why worry about it? And when in the midst of the solution of mathematics there was no call from sis to help wash the dishes. No Quizz Kids on the radio to distract us-no meeting the gang' in the corner thug' store. Nye could there- fore concentrate all our attention on our studies. This sounds unattractive- yet we lived through it. and we are glad to have had the opportunity to attend St. Klary's. XYe feel better prepared to face life. l-ife at St. Mary's has furnished us with an invaluable experience. NVC are not paragons of students' virtues: nor are we Aristotles and Virgils. We did not learn as much as could be expected, much of what we have heard in the classroom we have already forgotten, and much that we have learned will use to us later in life. How many of us will remember and make rules of Latin grammar, or the theorems of geometry? But the classroom was not lost. Our English, Polish, and Latin classes have our minds an interest in literature and thus furnished us with a be of little use of the time in the aroused in key by which we can unlock the great minds of all ages. The same is true of history. VVho of us will remember the dates of historical events? VVe did not get as much information as we could have, had we been more attentive in the classroom. VVe did, however, acquire an inquisitiveness, and an interest in history, which will prod us onward to further study. Yes, St. Mary's has trained us to train ourselves. The result of this careful training of will and mind are the strong loyalties, which we have in our hearts. St. Marys has taught us to be loyal to the Church, who is Christg she has taught us to do everything for Him through the Blessed Virgin, to whom this school is dedicated. She has developed in us a strong loyalty to Cyril and Methodius, who were the Apostles of the Slavs, they who made it possible for you and me to have our Christian heritage, who brought the first word of God to our Slavic forefathers. She has taught us to be loyal to the Pope, to the bishop of our diocese, and to our pastors. She has taught us to work for our country and for its great traditions of democracy: one of the few countries that still respects the dignity of man. She made it very clear to us that we should be loyal to our Polish heritage, to the institutions that .Xmericans of Polish descent have built in this country. And lastly, but of utmost importance, to our parents who have brought us into this world, they who planted the seeds of christianity in our hearts and which St. Marys has developed: to them who have suffered all hardships to make us rigid Catholics. It was to them that we went crying when we were young, in them we always found consolations. Such, I think would be the answer that the graduates of St. Mary's High School would give upon reflection if asked the question: VV'hat has St. Marys given you during the four years you have spent here? Some of us, I'm sure, would add other things, personal ones, but all, I think, would agree that what St. lIary's has given us boils down essentially to training in proper habits, development of the proper outlook on life and the building of strong loyalties. On one other thing all my classmates would agree, namely, that St. Mary's has developed within our hearts a burning love of these hallowed walls, which have housed us for four years, and an enthusiastic loyalty to the ideals for which the school stands. It is hard to put this love and loyalty into words-- I shall not even try to do itg but I am sure that I speak for every member of the class of 1946, when I say that we shall put the gratitude which we feel in our hearts towards St. Blary's into actions, actions which will promote and spread the ideals of St. 1Ia1'y's. May God Bless and guide St. Marys and help us to work for her glory all our lives. LW. 4'6'..- AED Ju6i1ee Uel-Ae Under Columhia's glorious flag We need no swords nor hloody fights.

I see the lights of the College Gleam through the rain and the mist, And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me That my soul cannot resist. A feeling of sadness and long That is not akin to pain, And resembles sorrow only As the mist resembles rain Come, read to me some poem Some simple and heartfelt lay That shall soothe this restless feelin And banish the thoughts of day Read from some humbler poet, Whose songs gushed from his heart, As showers from the clouds of summer, Or tears from the eyelids startg Who, through long days of labor, And nights devoid of ease, Still heard in his soul the music Of wonderful melodies.

Throughout the season we were proud to see the flashy uniforms of our squad. as the team marched on to conquer. The line was impregnable, the back-field alert: crowned by th: zealous efforts of the Athletic Staff, they completed the season with one defeat and six victories. ln addition to this accomplishment. the lfaglets humbled every other l'olish High School in the Metropolitan area to annex the Polish Catholic High School Football Championship of 1945.

Mention must be made to the man who spark-plugged the squad with his penetrative playing. He is Zenon Gronk-iwski, a six-foot, l98 pound Ham- tramck lad. His passing and plunging accounted for some 7527 of his team's tallying.

The prowess of the lfagles was shown against Lawrence Tech., Detroit Tech and Highland Park junior College. The boys played smooth games and the result of which can be well noted in the scores. St. Mary's College as in the past. has been confronted with shortage of height on their quintets. Yet. the forward combination of hlohnny Rakoczy and Stanley Krzysiak overcame this defect. johnny Rocky Rakoczy ac- counted for 182 points. while Stan Sacks Krzysiak scored 157 as the lfagles outscored their opponents 5-12-491.

St. Marys High School went as far as the Quarterfinal in the State Tournament only to be eliminated by the Flint School for the Deaf 32-31. and now the rangy Saginaw quintet.

The game was a basket for basket struggle, but the Saginaw lads got the best of the lfaglets and went on to win the game. lt was one of those nights where foul shots would have clinched the game. St. Mary scored 15 long shots in comparison to St. l'ete's 14, but missed 9 of those indispensable free throws.

On Christmas , December 25, 1854, some eight or nine hundred Poles from Silesia crowded reverently around a mas- sive oak tree on top of a hill near the junction of San Antonio and Cibolo rivers in southern Texas. Under that oak Father Leopold Moczygemba of the Franciscan Friars Minor Conven- tual celebrated the first Mass for Polish peasant folk on Amer- ican soil. Under that oak the Polish immigrants organized their first church dedicating it to the Immaculate Conception ninety years ago. Since that time, like the oak, they have spread their branches wide over America and sunk their roots deep into American soil, becoming an organic part of American soul and srnew . . . ne moment Plame . . . The POLONIAN PANORAMA is a miscellany prepared by the graduates of St. Mary's College during their senior year 1945-1946. While it contains no new factual data beyond what is already available in Polish or in English, it has Qwe hopej some original pictures and comments. Above all, it tries to suggest a different approach to Polish- American life-a telescopic presentation of facts and photos, empha- sizing not so much the storied past either of the Polish heritage or of Polish heroes in America as the living present of Polish-American in- stitutional as well as personal achievement and promise. An undertaking of this kind implies selection of material dictated by personal preferences as well as by limitations of space. Of the two restrictive influences, the former perhaps has been more operative: it has been our set purpose to feature the Polish-American Community, THE POLONIA, with its characteristic institutions, its builders and its present-day maintainers. If we have stressed, at times exclusively, the achievements of American born or bred individuals, we have done so, not with any intent to slight or depreciate the tremendous contri- butions of immigrant Poles, but rather to bring our theme more clearly into focus and to suggest newer avenues of research and study. The materials that have gone into the making of this panorama are twofold: pictorial and documental. The essays and comments derive from sources indicated in the selected bibliography, which is also intended to point out further topics of interest. The illustrations, taken from photographs supplied almost entirely by students and friends, are all authentic-real pictures of real Polish-Americans, actual views of extant Polish-American institution and achievements. In the preparation of this close-up of Polish-American life, we have naturally incurred many debts which we most gratefully acknowledge. And we sincerely hope that this finished product, the result of numerous efforts and suggestions, will iustify the expectations of the many gra- cious friends who have favored us with their help, the Director of St. Mary's College Library whose facilities have been at our disposal, and the authors whose studies have provided us with invaluable informa- tion and ideas.

In this vast human family, Americans of Polish descent are a comparatively small group. Estimates of their number vary from 3 to 9 million. If the truth lies somewhere in the middle Land 6 million is the most popular estimateb, then 1 out of 22 Americans walking down the street is likely to be of Polish stock. Polish Americans come in all sizes and shapes. You will find among them tall blond farmers and steelworkers, short stocky miners and ma- chinists, dark fat butchers, bakers and grocers, fair -skinned dentists, doctors, bishops and undertakers. Polish Americans do not specialize in any particular trade, profession or avocation. Like you, they take a bit of everything - from sports to opera and higher mathematics. But sweat- ing in mills and mines, raising food, running businesses and offices, attending church and school, writing, painting, composing, they work side by side with you in the building of a better America. You may run into a Polish-American girl or matron at Marshall Fields', Hu'dson's ur Macy's. She will be as pretty, or as plain, as the woman sitting beside you on the bus or beating you out of a seat on the street-car. Polish Americans speak Broklynese in Brook- lyn. In Boston, their accent is as precise as Emerson's ever was. Most of them, however, speak the general American of the Middle West. Some few below the Mason-Dixon out-you-all the Georgia Yanceysg others, out where the West begins, can yippee-aye-yay with the most voluble cowboy. Polish Americans are simply people like yon. intensely devoted to America, the mother country of 5 out of every 6 of them. If they differ from you at all, it is only in the spelling of their names fthough not always! and, per- haps, in the attachment they cultivate for the heritage of their forefathers, which they re- gard as a precious trust to be further enriched and gratefully deposited at the feet of the Lady of Liberty, whose light once guided their oppressed ancestors to America. .x4nfAon7 .A gl AIZLU1, Polish Americans inhabit every one of the 48 states. You will find them among the farmers of Wis- consin and Minnesota, the miners of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the lumberjacks of Washington and Oregon, the fruit-growers of Flar- ida and California, the ranchers of Texas and Montana, and especially among the factory workers of New York, Illinois and Michigan. Eight out of ten Polish Americans are most likely to live in New York, Pennsylvania, Illin ois, Michigan, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio, Wisconsin and Connecticut --- the nine States in which about 86W of all P o l i s h Americans are found. The home address of five out of every ten is likely to be a street in Chicago, Detroit, Buf- falo, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Mil- waukee, Pittsburgh, New York. Hamtramck, Newark, New Jersey, Toledo, New Britain or Boston-the fourteen cities in which almost half of all Polish Americans reside. Only about 1 out of 10 Polish Americans lives on a farm or in a small village. Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Connecticut are his favorite agricultural regions, each of the first three claiming over 30,000 farmers. Polish - American farmers have won an enviable record in New England, reclaiming hundreds of abandoned farms. Others, in the The fund Where the Politfll 14mericanA five Middle West, hold high reputation for food-growing skill. Polish American miners, as yet largely neglected by chroniclers. play an important role in the coal and iron industry. The Pennsylvania Patch districts contain rich ore for the historian as well as the in- dustrialist. Urban Polish Americans are en- gaged in practically all industries- manufacturing, steel, textile, leather. refining, meat, food and transporta- tion. Many are in business and the professions. In some cities, like Chicago, Detroit, and Buffalo, they form sizable proportions of the pop- ulation. They support numerous organizations and institutions. They are vocal in local politics. Their children attend parochial and pub- lic schools. Hamtramck is perhaps the clas- sical example of a Polish American urban community. Surrounded by Detroit, it is inhabited largely by Polish Americans who guard their city's political autonomy with jeal- ous love. Many of Hamtramclds business places bid for attention in English and Polish. Almost every household has at least one member belonging to a political or social club or a fraternal benefit society. But whether in the city, on the farm or in the mine, Polish Amer- icans are today an integral living part of America, conscious of their day-to-day achievements and con- tributions toward the building of a better America, J: Aan Jenn tl 'X 4, Hiya 04560 I Zo 8 4,1101 7 I 5 OU1 H AKOTA UYOMIN6 I QD?

An estimated two million Roman Catholics are grouped in 831 parishes staffed by 1,503 priests. Six male religious communities. led by the Franciscan Friars Minor Conventual, the Franciscan Friars Minor and the Resurrectionists. make up a third of the parochial clergy. The Polish National Catholic Church of America claims 118 parishes with 63,366 members. Several Protestant and independent congregations, about one fourth the numerical strength of the Polish National Catholic Church. complete the pa- rochial organization of Polish Americans. The FPGA! In New York appeared the first Polish-American Magazine, POLAND. HISTORICAL, LITERARY. MONUMENTAL AND PICTURESQUE, 118426 and the first newspaper. ECHO Z POLSKI, 118631. Since then over 600 publications. mostly Polish, have been launched in 97 cities. Today about 150 function for an estimated one million readers. headed by 9 Polish dailies and 36 weeklies. The oldest daily is Milwaukee's 58-year old KURJER POLSKI. but perhaps the most influential is the 54-year old DZIENNIK CHICAGOSKI. The oldest weekly, 65- year old ZGODA, appears in Chicago. Outstanding English language publications are the POLISH-AMERICAN STUDIES and the ANNALS OF THE P. R. C. U. ARCHIVES AND MUSEUM. Tice Society With 104 years of creditable achievement, and serving almost every imaginable purpose, an estimated 110.000 Polish-American societies attract about one million members. Founded three decades after the short-lived TO- WARZYSTWO POLAKOW W AMERYCE of 1842, the 73-year old POLISH-ROMAN CATHOLIC UNION is today the oldest and second largest organization, exceeded only by the POLISH NATIONAL ALLIANCE which has over 275,000 members. THE POLISH AMERICAN HISTORICAL COM- MISSION, the KOSCIUSZKO and PULASKI FOUN- DATIONS. the CHICAGO ARTS CLUB and the POLISH MUSEUM AND SOCIETY OF HISTORY IN AMERICA represent new directions. The most influential and representative, however, is the na- tional federation, THE POLISH-AMERICAN CON- GRESS. JM titutionA The School Eighty years ago in Panna Maria, Texas, the Re- surrectionist Adolph Bakanowski gave rise to the edu- eational institutions which today number some 700 units covering the whole school system. As integral parts of the parish, Polish-American schools are predominantly Roman-Catholic, compris- ing 553 grade and 70 high schools, 6 colleges and 4 seminaries with an estimated personnel of 175,000. Their crowning achievement is SS. Cyril and Metho- dius Seminary at Orchard Lake. Michigan which has given America several hundred priests. Eleven Polish-American Sisterhoods numbering over 9,300 members supply most of the teachers, the Felicians, the Nazaratenes and the Josephines being most active. Mnf'ul111'l1 ' JZlll1ll-Pl'.1Ll.

Schreiber ffm terdaq Not lone meteors but ma,ter- moulders were the Polish-American leaders of yesterday-men and iso- men with a profound sense of so- :-ial responsibility who welded the teeming immigrant masses into a highly productive cultural unit, the POLONIA AMERYKANSKA. Intrepid Fr. Leopold Moczygemba of the Conventual Franciscans brought the first group of Polish settlers to Panna Maria, starting thc great migration of Polish peasants to America. Rev. Joseph Dabrowski, printer. wrlter, spiritual director and found- cr of the first seminary for Pol sh American priests, made perhaps the greatest individual contribution to Polonian cultural development. Mother M. Monica Sybilska, or- ganizer extraordinary, was the guid- ing genius behind the phenomenal growth of the Felician Sisterhood in its first decades in America. The first self-made Polish Amer- ican is perhaps the best designa- tion for Peter Kiolbassa, immigrant, Civil War captain, teacher in Texas, and first political leader in Chic- ago's rising Polonia. Bushy-bearded Anthony Schreiber was a dynamic force in the hey-day of the Polish National Alliance be- fore World War I and founder of the influential DZIENNIK ZWIAZ- KOWY. The first Polish-American Cath- olic bishop and for years the most influential Polonian leader was Bishop Paul Peter Rhode of Chicago and Green Bay, Wis. From immigrant to Illinois state teasurer was the leap made by John Smulski, cutstanding World War I Polonian financier, organizer and lay leader. Energetic, social-minded Stepha- nia Chmielinska was the organizer and first president of the Pol sh Women's Alliance and founder of the weekly GLOS POLEK. Called the Father of the Polish Army in the United States , Dr. Teofil Starzynski, Falcon president. played an important role during World War I as an army organizer. Black-robed Very Rev. Hyacinth Fudzinski laid the foundation for the growth of the Polish Conven- tual Franciscans in America and organized the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph. Others who deserve at least a brief mention, even though lack of space prevents insertion of their pictures. are: the Resurrection'st Father Vincent Barzynski, the most influential figure in the early re- ligious history of the Chicago Polo- nia: Fr. John Pitass, religious and civic patriarch of Buffalog Fr. Ven- ceslav Kruszka, stormy petrel of the Polish-American clergy, writer, his- torian and leading exponent of the Polish version of Cahenslyism: Vla- dislav Dyniewicz, Chicago publisher. whose millions of Polish pamphlets and books reached into every corner of the Polonia: Casimir Zychliriski. father of the Polish Falcons in America and several times presi- dent of the Polish National Al- liance: Stanislav Osada, journalfst, historian, social reformer, and one of the keenest and most intelligent observers of Polish-American de- velopment. All these and still many others wait. for future Polish-American biographers to set down in writing their manifold contributions to the building of the Polonia and Amer- ica.

Champion of Polish-American co- operation is aggressive Charles Roz- marek, chairman of the Polish- American Congress. A former presi- dent of the Polish National Al- liance, the largest Polonian organi- zation, he now heads the most in- fluential and vocal body in Polish American circles. Auxiliary to Cardinal Mooney and presiding judge of the archdiocesan matrimonial court in Detroit, self- effacing Pennsylvania-born Bishop Stephen Woinicki holds the spir- itual leaidership vacated by the late patriarchal Bishop Rhode. As chair- man of numerous crganizations and treasurer of The Polish Relief Fund, he directs the several million dollar relief action of Polonian federated groups. White-haired, lanky Chicagoan, John Joseph Olejniczak since 1941 heads the Polish Roman Catholic Union, the oldest and second largest Polish-American federated society, which sponsors and supports the Archives and Museum in Chicago and annually assists the educational institutions at Orchard Lake, Mich. Educator and relief-worker, so- cially-minded Honorata Wolowska is president of the Polish Women's Alliance of America and board member of nearly every important centralized committee in the Polo- nia. Quiet, soft-spoken Bishop Stani- slav Bona of Green Bay, born and educated in Chicago and in Rome, was professor of languages and editor of a Polish weekly before his consecration to the episcopate in 1932. His tact and diplomacy were largely responsible for the success of the first convention held in Buffalo in 1943 by the Polish-American Congress. Trim, precise Francis X. Swietlrk. dean of Marquette Law School, is president of the Polish-American Council founded in 1939. Though remaining largely in the back- ground, he nevertheless wields a real influence among Polish Amer- icans. Of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania background, head of the seminary, college and high school at Orchard Lake, the oldest Polonian institu- tions of higher learning, Rt. Rev. Msgr. Edward Szumal occupies 2 position of tremendous trust not only for the present but also for the future of the Polonia. Foremost Polish-American orator. Congressman Alvin O'Konski cf Wisconsin, former university profes- sor, is today the most outspoken exponent of Polonian views on cur- rent political affairs. From the steerage to a university professorship in 11 years-that is the story of Stephen Mierzwa QMizwaJ, a peasant boy who once taught economics at Drake and now heads the Kosciuszko Foundation which he organized for intercultural exchange between Poland and America. Last but by no means least is retiring, scholarly Miecislav Hai- man, leading Polish-American his- torian, co-founder and guiding gen- ius of the P.R.C.U. Archives and Museum, the greatest storehouse and repository of Polish and Polo- nian achievements, records and rei- ics in the Western Hemisphere.

This record goes back beyond De- cember 7, 1941, to an earlier day of infamy , September l, 1939, when Hitler's legions blitzkrieged their way into Poland. Among the Polish Americans who flocked to the col- ors the best known is Lieutena it Hronislav Godlewski of Chicagn. Only 17, he was rejected by the American army, but managed to join the Polish Air Force. Today. armless, Godlewski is one of the few men wearing three national decorations for bravery - Polish. British and American. Miecislaus Haiman. leading Pol- ish-American historian, estimates that about one millon Americans of Polish descent served in the Amer- ican armed forces. Five attained the rank of general: Joseph E, Ba- rzynski, West Point graduate and Dean of Polish-American service- men: John Rataj, John Wisniewski. Matyka and Krygier. The Marine Corps was liberally sprinkled with Andrzejewskis, Karasiewiczs and Modzelewskis. The Army and Navy had their share of skis and wiczs. And so did the WACS. SPARS and WAVES.

In the mid- Pacific sleeps Sgt. Alexander T. Kaezmarczyk of Torrington, Conn.. who 'died on the twelfth night of Capt. Rickenbacker's famous adven- ture. Ever aggressive, Polish Americans led in the attack. The first Amer- ican soldier to step on Sicily was Sgt. Joseph Parylak: the first to land at Anzio was Pvt. Walter P. Krzysztofiak ot' Summit, ll'.: the first American chaplain to set foot on French and German soil vias Capt. Venantius Szymanski of De- troit. The first American woman to land on Munda and New Georga was Army Nurse Second Lt. Dorothy P. Shikoski from Green Lake, Wis.. Lt. George Klimowicz of Stevens Point, Wis.. was one of three Amer- ican officers who first entered Ger- man territory in August, 1944. Outstanding deeds of valor and sacrifice also speak eloquently for Polish Americans. Lt. Col. Francis S. Gabreski of Oil City, Pa., shot down 31 German planes to become one of America's flying aces. It was a Polish American, Sgt. Alexander A. Drabik of Holland. Ohio, who seized the Remagen bridge in a surprise move and opened wide the way for the conquering Americans into Germany. Sgt. Joseph Sadow- ski of Perth Amboy, N. J., gave his life for his buddies and won the Nation's highest award, the Con- gressional Medal of Honor, which was awarded posthumously to his parents. AQPFIIHPIIM E4'11:1'111't'L Sgt. A. Kaczmarezyk 14me1-icanA The number of ways in which Polish-American civilians have contributed to the war effort is as numerous and varied as the battle- fields on which Polish-American soldiers have fought. Take war bond purchases as a start. In the Fourth War Loan Drive in Chicago, the Polish Amer- icans led all other purchasers with over S14 million. They were first also in the Fifth Drive with more than S20 million. Up to September, 1944, the Polish National Alliance had S14 million in bonds: the Pol- ish Roman Catholic Union's pur- chases amounted nearly to S9 mil- lion. Perhaps the outstanding indivi- dual effort in this connection was that of Mrs. Francis P. Tarnapo- wicz of Pittsburgh, chairman of the 4th Area Nationality Group Divi- sion, who was responsible for the sale of nearly 270 million dollars in bonds among 101 national groups in Pennsylvania. The parish was the outlet for the many local activities-service- men's clubs, package sending com- mittees, letter-writing groups, and bulletin distributors. Women of the parish formed knitting circles that supplied servicemen with woolens: they prepared and rolled bandages. and served as Red Cross aids. Young Ladies' Sodalities sponsored par- ties for servicemen or took part in special devotions and prayers for the men and women at the front. Not all Polish-American mothers could boast like Mrs. Rose Radzi- minska, California's Number one War Mother , or like Chicago's Mrs. n the Home ?l'0hf um' , nb '. ' J- .:-:E .2 I- I -I - 1 .g ,,..

Even school children and high school youngsters helped by collect- ing scrap and paper. They bought war stamps and bonds themselves. and at the same time promoted their sale in the neighborhood. They enthusiastically took first-aid courses to be ready for any emer- gency, and they cheerfully worked in the family Victory gardens. Typi- cal of their youthful zeal was the slogan of the pupils of Swget st Heart of Mary School in Detroit: Hearts works for TANKS not for THANKS! In addition, besides generously supporting the Red Cross, the Cath- olic Bishops' Relief, the USO and the CSO, Polish Americans organ- ized their own special committees to alleviate the sufferings of Polish refugees and war victims. Most pro- minent of these were: Amzrican Relief for Poland. The Catholic League, and The Polish-American Congress Relief. In appreciation of these activi- ties, the late Pres. F. D. Roosevelt wrote in May, 1944: All of us are proud of . . . the unsparing effort of this group of Americans in our war effort . . . Zzwvzzzrzftyz 11111111114 4 fb . . First Aid Course Q T Victory Garden The lion's share of Polish-American prose is in Polish. and much of the English portion lwhich is our exclusive concern hereb belongs to non-literary writing. But in any event, whatever its character, this prose has an importance over and beyond its rhetorical quality: as the product of American born or bred writers of Polish origin. it possesses an his- torical and sociological value for students of cultural interaction. Illinois-born Frederick Schwatka 11842-921 is per- haps the first American author of Polish parentage to write in English. His descriptive volumes. parti- cularly NIMROD OF THE NORTH and ALONG ALASKA'S GREAT RIVER, enjoyed wide popularity. Marya de Mankowski, Houston-born, seems to be the first Polonian translator. Her translations of J. Jasienczyk's TEN YEARS IN COSSACK SLAVERY and B. Prus' PHARAOH were avidly read in the early 1900's. Another early translator was Max A. Drezmal, who Englished Sienkiewicz's WHIRLPOOL and IN DESERT AND WILDERNESS before World War I. The real beginnings of Polish-American literary activity date from the late Twenties. American-reared Leocadia Popowska won the 1927 Harper Intercol- legiate Literary Prize with her short-story novel, THE LIVING SAND. In 1937 Minnesota-born Monica Krawczyk wrote a prize-winning novel NO MAN ALONE, following it up with QUILTS and a stream of short stories and articles. In 1941, American-trained Joan Konopka published DUST OF OUR BROTHERS' BLOOD. Most popular among the male writers of fiction is Joseph Marshall tlirechniakj, regular contributor to several national magazines. In 1943, Richard Hu- zarski published BRUSHLAND BILL, a novel of the Wisconsin northwoods. Most recently critical ae- claim has greeted Walter Karig's realistic novel LOWER THAN ANGEL and Joseph Wedda's JASNA POLANA. Within the last decade article writing has also found increasing numbers of devotees. Popular maga- zine articles have been coming from the pens of A. Bielaski, Bernard Adamkiewicz, Demaree Bess 4Be- rezniakb. H. Rosinski 1Miles3, James Dombrowski, Edward Falkowski, Arthur Bromirski, Stanley Vish- newski, Thaddeus Slesinski, Al Antczak, Francis Go- stomski, William Holubowicz, John Tedlowski and others. Contributions in a more serious vein have come from Paul Studenski, Frank J. Drobka, Frank T. Nowak, Alphonse Wolanin and Sigmund Uminski. Perhaps the largest contribution made by a single social group of Americans of Polish descent to Polish- American prose is that of the clergy, from whom have come numerous theological, philosophical, his- torical, scientific, devotional, and literary works - books and articles.

One of the most encouraging recent developments in Polish-American writing circles has been an in- creasing awareness of the literary possibilities in- herent within the Polonian community itself. Soon perhaps short stories, novels and articles will start appearing, making known to all America the drama- tic riches that today lie largely untouched and un- exploited. CZLAUPII Yfmfizza lmerican Poetry American born or bred poets of Polish parentage writing in English are few in number. Yet though their ranks be small, their contributions command attention. They bring with them a new interest and a fresh energizing spirit into American literature, of which they are a real though a small part. Until the end of World War I, English poetry written by Polish Americans consisted mainly of translations from the Polish poets done by refugees like J. Podbielski and P. Sobolewski, the latter in 1881 editing THE POETS AND POETRY OF POLAND. Several original poems, nostalgic or defiant in senti- ment, came from the pens of the exiles, A. Jaku- bowski and J. Allen, and from Chicago's prolific Teo- lila, Samolinska who, however, wrote chiefly in Polish. In the 1920's appeared the first collection of origi- nal English poems authored by a youthful Polish- American. DEAF WALLS by Philadelphia-born Ed- mund Kowalewski was a work of unusual promise, auguring much for the youthful and talented poet, from whom unfortunately no more has been heard. In 1934 appeared AGAINST DEATH IN SPRING by Alan Edward Symanski. Born in Grand Rapids, Symanski sang with Slavic poignancy of Krakow's ancient glamour, of the Black Madonna and the Warsaw Beggar, of Black Bread and the Immigrant. He spoke also of Michigan autumn, the Tennis Match and the Fourth Province. In 1934 the Chicago Polish Arts Club published a. bilingual volume of verse containing Polish and English selections entitled ANTOLOGIA POEZJI POLSKO-AMERYKANSKIEJ. The latter, drawn largely from magazines and newspapers, include ori- ginal poems by Bertha Czosnek, Irene Jaworski, Mira Kosicka, Theodora Pawelski and Hedwig Baran. Other magazine contributors since are: Joseph Cherwinski, Anthony Misiukiewicz, Mary Dunaj, Fe- licia Cetkowski and Edith Piotrowski. Perhaps the most important in this group is Iowan Raymond Kre- senski, author of numerous religious verses and of the volume, EMMAUS. Minnesota-bred Victora Janda with her two vol- umes of original poems - WALLS OF THE SPACE 119457 and STAR HUNGER 119437 - is today per- haps the leading Polish-American poet. In a style reminiscent of Edna St. Vincent Millay, Janda echocs Symanski's nostalgic cry for Polan'd's lore of legend. history, song , but more often she sings of her Minne- sota countryside. Interesting too is her use of ang- licized Polish words like Shelest for their onomoto- poeic value. Also in 1945, the youthful Polish-American Klub Polski at Columbia University published its second anthology of verse and prose translated from Polish. THE WAYSIDE WILLOW, especially the verse trans- lations by Theodore Plucinski, George Szymanski, Filomena Dabal, Janet Narolska, Antoinette Slowin- ska, Charlotte Saikowska and the Bielawski sisters, is a welcome companion to THE POLISH LAND is- sued in 1943. In summary, perhaps the main characteristic of this Polonian contribution to American poetry is its bicultural quality. The poetry on the one hand re- flects the restless American environment in which the poets move, and on the other shows a keen aware- ness of the authors' share in their Polish heritage. Perhaps in the near future a poet will also appear to sing the rich and varied lore locked in the heavy chests of the POLONIA AMERYKANSKA itself. gywin. Wgdzagf if-v Flight to Egypt S. M.

Perhaps the most promising Polish-American artist is New York-born Pulitzer prize winner Sig- mund Kozlow iliozlowskib. whose impressionist land- scapes, The Country Road and The Covered Bridge have won warm praise. Other American- born painters of Polish ancestry are: The securely established Makielski brothers - Leo, sensitive por- traitist, and Bronislav, talented landscapist whose Clouds and Cypresses are in the Detroit Institute of Artg the robustly original Jozef Bakos whose Santa Fe Canyon reposes in the Whitney Museum: the pleasingly unassuming Stanley Twardowicz whose Shoemaker W6jcik promises much.

Less known but equally interesting are the paint- ings of Polish-American women.

The expressive portraits - and especially that of Pius XII - by Sister Mary Stanisia. S. S. N.

Perhaps the most significant development among Polish-American painters today is that expressed by Sigmund Kozlow: As an American with a Polish background, I would like to show the beauty of Polish folk art to the people of America .

Bakos lmerican Ilia ic More than painting, music is fast becoming the leading artistic preoccupation of Americans of Polish descent, born or bred in the United States, awakening to the creative possibilities of their European herit- agc. Much credit for this must go to the Chicago Polish Arts Club, which has three decades of splendid cultural achievement in the fine arts behind it. Among Polish-American pianists 15-year old Sylvia. Zaremba of Springfield, Mass. reveals extraordinary talents which have won critical acclaim in New York and Boston. Another concert favorite is prodigiouslv versatile 21-year old California-born Ruth Slenczyn- ska. The latest and youngest prodigy is a 12-year old Chicagoan. Zenon Tuczynski. Established pianists of note are: the brilliantly sensitive Chicago-born Thaddeus Kozuch: the versa- tile poetic New Yorker. William Koprowskig Raymond Dyczkowski of the Buffalo Philharmonic: and Alex- ander Brachocki a pupil of Paderewski. Concert violinists of 'distiction include: Antoinette Zebrowska acclaimed as the world's best woman violinist and finest interpreter of W'ienia.wskig Stephen Hero of the Dayton Symphony Orchestra: and Anthony Wanat of Maryland. Leading vocalists are: Virginia 1Wallacel Wleklin- ska of concert and radio fame: Paula. Zwane and Harriette Konopka sopranos: Tadeusz Sztuka concert tenor: radio singers Caroline Urbanek and Genia Zielinska: and Ann Kuzak of the New York Opera Co. Of special interest is Rev. Henry Waraksa's direc- tion of the SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary Schola Cantorum in the annual N. B. C. broadcast of Polish Kolendy. Also active director-composers are the Feli- cian Sisters M. Bonaventura. M. Caecilia, and M. Elzearia. , !A'ltllIl!PI' llflglffllfllf L SS.

Through the years Polish Ameri- cans have built many churches -- large and small. ornate and simple, but all testifying to the deep faith and earnest sacrifice of the builders. These churches also best exemplify the architectural beauties of Polonian communities. The first original Polish-American church no longer exists. Destroyed by fire in 1877, its site is presently occupied by the second church of the Im- maculate Conception at Panna. Maria, Texas, de- signed, financed and built by the parishioners them- selves. A splendid Romanesque structure of yellow brick is St. Hyacinth's Church in Detroit. The seat of auxiliary bishop Stephen VVoinicki, it is a Polish- American landmark as well as an outstanding edi- fice in the city. Two fine examples of the Polish-American Gothic are found in the Sacred Heart Church at Syracuse St. Adalbert - Buffalo, N. Y. uy. gk . sl -- -1 .- I 5 - 5 ' I' Map: - ,SA 53 'V 5 . -f'f..,j'y O ' ', , ,WEE-5 'lffia-wsgfilefgligg I 'S A .,g. 'D 1 .

The latter vies with St. Florian's Church in Hamtramck as perhaps the outstanding Polonian Gothic edifice. Certainly the most interesting, if not also the finest, specimen of monastic style is Villa St. Felix, the Felician Sisters' Convent at Plymouth. An adap- tation of Northern Italian Lombard, it is dominated by a splendidly severe Chapel flanked by two stone domes. The interiors of many Polish-American churches contain works of art - painting, murals, stained glass, carvings, mosaics, classic altars. Perhaps the two outstanding Polonian altars are those in Sweetest Heart of Mary Church in Detroit and in St. Casimir's Church in Baltimore. The latter is the only replica of Donatello's world-famous St. Anthony Altar. Typical of the best in Polish-American church murals is The Slaying of St. Adalbert painted by J. Mazur in St. Adalbert's Church, Buffalo. 2 ggmfar gz4!b1u.1Lz' St. Stephen - Perth Amboy, N. J. 14 Poli In Nmerican Kilfliograpluy Koala GENERAL: DWORACZYK, Rev. E. J.
