1.0014-A-HEAD Q OUR PASTOR. For the past eighteen years l-'atller Forst has been a faithful leader and pastor of our parish and school. He has seen us, and many seniors before us plod through twelve years of school. His Winsome personality and kindly deeds have secured many friends. If any deJeeted person young' or old visits Father Forst, that person leaves the priestly presence feeling ready to face any- thing. A better and truer friend than Father Forst cannot be found no matter how far one may travel. OUR BISHOP. Right Reverened Karl J. Alter DJJ., who has been bishop of the Toledo Diocese for the past four years made his second otticial visit to our parish on May 15. At this time he conferred the sacrament of Confirmation upon the pupils from the fourth to the sixth grades, and also upon many adults. h Besides coming for Continuation, Bishop Alter made a general inspection of all the buildings on the premises.. and of the affairs of the parish in general. OUR SCHOOL. The Present St. Paul School building was erected in 1021 through the gener- osity of the Fisher Brothers. Until 1930 some classes were still held in the old school but in September of that year additional classrooms were made available in the main build- ing. Now there are on the first and second Hoors twelve homerooms, an oftice, assembly, a grade and a high school library, typewriting room, two science laboratories, sewing room, and L-A-H otlice. OUR PRINCIPAL. Rev. A.. I.. Sattler, was transferred from St. Anne's Parish of Fremont to St. Pants at the beginning of the 1932 school term to succeed Rev. Francis Unrtin as assistant. Father Sattler has always been a model and an ideal for the students of St. Paul's. His ability and his interest in the parish have surely been proved by the wo1'k he has accomplished. He organized a parish athletic association of which he is a director. Besides this, and the difiicnlt tasks of being parish assistant he: has a full schedule in school: he conducts twenty-three classes weekly. l'lRttll0l' has directed all class and alumni plays staged here for the last three years, His lively interest in every aclivity--athletic, scholastic, social and spiritual. has endeared him to the hearts of his students and parishioners. GRADUATING ACOLYTES. St. Paul's acoly- tical society will lose this year, through graduation, three of its most faithful acolytes. They are Paul Kluding. Charles Reichert and Bernard Roth. These boys have tried in every way to set an exainple for the under classnien, by their reverence and attention at the altar and by punetuality, all of which are most important traits of a good aco- lytv. lVe shall miss these experienced servers, but hope to see them still in the sanctuary at least oc- casionally when an opportunity presents itself. OUR LIBRARIAN. Miss Ruth Hafner is com- pleting her twelfth year as St. Paul High School librarian. Besides the usual assistance offered to students by the librarian, hfiss Hafner conducts classes in the effective and profitable use of the library. She likewise supervises several study periods a day. GLEE CLUB. Few but pleasing were the ap- pearances of this year's glee club. Top row: Paul Reincck, Charles Utt, Joseph Stiert. Clarence Durn- wald, Chester VVasiniak, Paul Kluding, Ylfalter Manlet, Vincent Hipp, Donald Reincek, Edward Bfchlanus.

Although our high school glee club did not start work at the beginning of the school term, it has proved that the time devoted to practice has been well spent. Under the guidance of Mr. Lenz, it has worked up some excellent selections to be sung at the graduation exercises. MISS O'MARA has been a member of our faculty for the last three years. She teaches history and some of the business conrses--commercial arith- metic, business correspondence, general business training, community civics, and typing. Besides her teaching duties, Miss 0'Mara has. in the last two years, assisted with the work in the school otlice. CARLTON OTT, a sophomore, was one of the State winners of the 1935 contest sponsored by the American Legion. f'arlton's account of this trip is published on another page of this issue. GENEVIEVE DINTER is recipient of the three highest honors conferred by the school-valedicb ory, scholarship medal and literary achievement awards. MANUAL TRAINING.

LOOK-A-HEAD ATHLETIC BOARD ORGANIZED A new athletic organization began to function November 5, 19344 and is in charge of all athletic activities in our high school. l-'ather Forst appointed the following as an Ath- letic Board. Rev. A. L. Sattler, Pres., Ralph Ga- bcle. Scc'y., and Clarence Esker, Treasurer. Since the board has been in charge thc receipts for ath- letics have consisted solely of the revenue from games. New equipment has been purchased and all athletic expenses have been paid without funds from the parish or other sources. The board is known as Saint Paul Athletic Board, SPONSOR BASKETBALL BANQUET VVednesday, May 1, the Paul Athletic Board sponsored a banquet for the boys of the basketball squad and their fathers. Father Sattler presided as chairman. A finan- cial report of the athletic funds was made by Mr. Clarence lisker, treasurer. Coach Gabelc spoke briefly of the games of the past season, and of his prospects for next year's team. He then present- ed letters of award to four seniors, Captain Bar- man, P. Reincck, C. Reichert and R. Meyer, to five under classmen, Keller, D. lteineck, R. Young, lt. Smith and J. Reineck, to the two managers, B. lt-mth and C. Frederick and finally to the cheer leaders Rita hlaylc and liill Amato. Mr. Ralph Lorko, well known in independent basketball, spoke forcefully on the necessary quali- ties of a team aspiring toward a successful season. Father Forst stressed the worthwhile qualities that athletics can develop in a boy, and the conse- quent bearing on his chara'cter. The chicken dinner was prepared by the mothers of the boys and was served by the senior girls. GRADS PICTUREU OPPOSITE The present graduating class carried off all the basketball honors in the boys interclass games dur- ing their four years in high school. The picture in the upper left hand corner is the present senior team, the only team undefeated in all interclass games this year. They are left to right: Manlet, ltoth, Stiert, Ott, Brown and Culley, captain. The picture below them represents six present seniors when, in 1932, freshmen, they won the interclass championship. Practically the same six repeated this feat in their sophomore and jl1Ill01' year. The earlier champs are left to right: top row: Meyer, Kluding, Barman, bottom row: Culley, Reineck and Reichert. Another successful season has been completed by Coach Ralph lil. Gabele. This is Mr. Gabele's eighth year as athletic director, and as instructor in :he manual training, mechanical drawing and science at our school. St. Paul's has found in Coach Gabcle a man with unusual ability to lead, and to inspire the boys with a fighting spirit founded on the finest principles of true sportsmanship. For three consecutive years hc has been chosen manager of the class B tourna- neent held in the St. Paul gym. The numerous let- ters of commendation received after the close of each tournament give ample evidence that our es- teem and admiration for Coach is shared by numer- ous others. After three years of aspiring and toiling to gain the honor, the senior girls have won it. l11 their fourth year of basketball, they have walked away with the championship, and what is more, they won every game they played this season. The girls who played o11 the team this year are left to right: Genevieve Dinter, Alma Courtad, Ethel Hohler, Eileen Gfell, Bernadette liarman, Rose Pfliegcr, llorothy YVeisenberger. The present senior girls when in their sopho- more year, won all the regular interclass games, which secured for them a place on the shield, this year they repeated that feat, and remained unde- feated i11 the intra-mural tourney. This is doubly remarkable ill view of the fact that there are only nine girls in the e11ti1'e class. These girls ha.vc the honor of being the only undefeated team in thc history of St. Paulis School. The managers of this ycar's basketball team de- serve recognition for their work. Coach had a large squad and a heavy schedule, he knew that he would need two capable managers. The team elected Bernard Roth, a senior, lower right in the picture, as manager, and Clarence Frederick, left, ll.-illlll01', as assistant manager. Coach and the team had no further anxiety on the score of the managers. Bernard Roth was likewise manager of the football this year. Vile believe this is the first time any one student has filled this position for both of St. Paul's major sports seasons. The lower left picture shows the graduating hasketeers. Top row: P. Reineck, Barman and Meyer. Second row: Manlct and Kluding, bot- tom: Reichert. Captain Barman, guard, will leave next year's team minus one cool-headed, alert and quick- thinking player. lteineck, another guard, will be greatly missed because of his sustained fighting for the team to the final gun. The graduation of lteichert, forward, will be another loss because of Charlie's accuracy i11 shooting long shots and his nonchalant way of putting in the winning basket. Although Meyer, Kluding, and .Manlet did not play in all the games, they were faithful for prac- tice and proved themselves valuable assets to the team o11 countless occasions. The places of thesc six players will be filled only with great difficulty. The unusual picture across the bottom of the page opposite shows the lineup of the St. Paul Norwalk High game, and is the crea- tion of a. local photographer, Mr. Bateham. The picture is a reproduction of thc display featured in Mr. Batehanfs window during the week of the city's most momentous game and of the class li tournament, held here. - -taxi .....-.dA
